Do not wait for something to
turn up, pull off your coat and go to

Don't get the idea into your head
that because some fellow may be
able to do a thing better than you
can that you can not accomplish
the (ask satisfactorily.
If it be true that so much more
whisky is sold in the prohibition
territory, then pray why do they
desire saloons? Why should the
brewery and whisky interests send
their agents over the country
making these incendiary speeches
and denouncing preachers and pro
hibition leaders, if the prohibition
rule makes so much business for
them? They escape the lincense
tax and sell more goods, so they
say. We pity the laboring man
who is beguiled by such talk that
the saloons mean good times for
him and his family.—Homer, La.,
Guardain Journal.
The open season of the house fly
is here once more. It is the duty
of every man, woman and child to
join in the campaign against this
dangerous insect. Cleanliness is
the most effective weapon in the
war upon this carrier of disease;
cleanliness in the home and the
stable, in streets and alleys; above
all, in places where foodstuffs are
prepared for the market or placed
on sale. Bake shops, meat shops
and the kitchens of restuarants
should be the concern of every
citizen, not of the board of health
alone. Fly hunting is repulsive;
prevention in the proper places
ruthlessly enforced when necessa
ry, will ultimately do away with its
necessity.
THE WORLD’S GREATEST BUSINESS.
Farming is the world's greatest
business. It is the foundation of
all other businesses and industries;
as it prospers, so do others pros
per. As the efficiency of the
world's agriculture is increased, it
becomes possible for other indus
tries to be developed and increased
As it lags in its efficiency, so are
they forced to lag in their develop
ment and operations; for it is the
surplus of food produced by the
farmers of the world which makes
it possible for others to devote
their energies to activities other
than farming.
It is a privilege to be engaged in
the world’s greatest industry.
This privilege carries with it a dig
nity and a responsibility which are
all too often overlooked, both by
the farmers themselves and those
others whose diverse occupations
the farmer's efficiency makes pos
sible.
The growing of crops and the
production of raw food materials is
a service which we are rendering
to the world. In doing it we are
not only serving ourselves, we are
serving others and thereby making
it possible for them to serve us,
By the quantity and the efficiency
of the service which we render to
others do we determine the quanti
ty and efficiency which they shall
render us.—Farming Business.
Others Censored.
A newspaper classifies the various
kinds of people, but the world only
recognises two—the rich and the poor.

persons arrested on a charge of

be noted that this vast sum was ob

Before wearing your rubbers rub

Mr. farmer and Live Stock Grower, the
Lubbock Sudan Grass Seed Association
Is calling to you to quit buying feed and buy $udan Grass $eed.
The Lubbock Sudan Grass Seed Association was organized last
year and is composed of Lubbock county farmers who are pro
ducers of pure Sudan Grass Seed. Every crop handled by this
association, was inspected in the field before the crops were har
vested, by a committee of five men. Mr. V. L. Cory, superin
tendent of Lubbock sub-station No. 8. a state experiment sta
tion, is chairman of said committee. All crops found to be
poisoned by obnoxious pests and weeds were condemed and not
handled by this association. Mr. farmer, do not be misled by the
“inspection certificate.” You have no way in the world to con
nect the seed with the certificate offered. Sudan grass is a big
hay producer as a follow-crop after harvesting the wheat and
oats. It can be planted, with good results, up to July first. Pure
recleaned, well matured, officially inspected Sudan grass Seed,
forty cents per pound delievered. Seed that will please you and
produce satisfactory results. Free booklet on request -"The
Story of Sudan Grass.”
