The Canadian Record
Canadian, Hemphill County, lexas;
Wellington has had a hard time
trying to get coal this winter, and
the people have had to burn every-
thing combustible to keep warm,
the fuel supply ranging from corr>
maize and other grain to split bot-
tom chairs. Following is a part
of the story as told by the Welling-
ton Leader:
One car of coal came in Wednes-
day night, making about the tenth
car received in Wellington since
winter set in, to keep sixteen
thousand people warm. Wire af-
ter wire has been sent to all the
department heads connected with
the fuel business telling them all
about how serious it has become
to the people of this county, and
they always reply that immediate
relief has been ordered; to notify
them in case of no relief in 24
hours.
After all the agitation that has
been given the subject the super-
intendent of the "tri-western"
wired the agent the other day to
know if it was a fact that people
here were actually having to burn
feed, etc. Wouldn't that jar you?
Some time next spring when the
people can get out and work with-
out wearing overcoats and over-
shoes, and when the parents of
little children can rest easy that
their little ones are not likely to
freeze to death, Mr. Superintend-
ent, Mr. R. R. Director, and Mr.
fuel Director, and Who Else will
get busy and send so much coa),
that the dealers will not have room
to put it. People here are actually
in danger of freezing if aero
weather should come.
A wire was received Thursday
from the Director General's office
saying that he had ordered imme-
diate relief for Wellington, and if
no coal appeared in 24 hours to
wire and let him know. Well, no
coal appeared and he has been
wired. What will come next?
We Want Your Confidence
Business men fail to take into
consideration that the printing in-
dustry is on just as trying a sched-
ule as is any other line of business.
The expenses which occur in the
printing business have increased
by leaps and bounds; paper has
increased time and again. And
yet, some business men who are
selling their wares for two and
three times as much as they
formerly did expect the print-
er to turn out work at the old
pre-war prices. When a bus-
iness man will do this he
should not get out of patience with
his customers for grumbling or,
quitting him because he sells his
goods at so much higher price than
he formerly did.
The Record is built first on giv-
ing the Business men of Canadian
and the people of Hemphill County
a square deal, and if we can win
your confidence on that ideal we
will have no trouble about prices
on printing. We will give you ev-
ery advantage possible in prices,
but we will not handie work at less
than cost.
Printers are now demanding and
receiving in the cities the salaries
of bank presidents, and even the
mail order printing houses cannot
put out work at the old prices and
pay the wages they have to for
help.
So you keep faith in us and your
confidence will not be abused. We
will give you every advantage pos-
sible under present trade condi-
tions.

At a meeting at Altus, Okla., of
the editors of Southwest Oklahoma
and that portion of Texas adjoin-
ing, another press association was
formed. B. 0. Brown, president
of the Panhandle Press Associa-
tion, is a member of the new asso-
ciation. Those Vernon editors are
the luckiest fellows going. They
can live in and belong to three
local press associations all at one
time. There is something attrac-
tive about Vernon. We will never
g-et over regretting that we could-
n't gret down there last spring.
The Lockney Beacon has in-
stalled a Model 14 linotype and its
light will now shine brighter than
ever. The Beacon is a good paper
and the prosperity of 1919-1920
has reached that office in goodly
share. Here's our sincere congrat-
ulations, Ben F., on the new ma-
chine! We hope Lockney will grow
until you will have to add a Lud-
low.

there is $50,000 worth of Ameri-

force in Canadian was slightly in I
error. It should have read $500,-

The Commissioner Proceedings
Several citizens have asked the
Record editor why the commis-
sioners proceedings are not pub-
lished in the paper so the public
can know what transpires in the
county court. The law does not
require the court to do this, but
several voters have expressed a
wish that the small sum of money
required for the publication of the
proceedings be appropriated for
that purpose. For instance, John
Jones wants to know when his
neighbor, Bill Smith takes a coy-
ote scalp in and receives a bounty
for killing the animal. He also
wants to know it when another
neighbor receives $15.00 for work
on a certain road, or when a new
road has been opened or a new cul-
vert ordered put in. The records
are open for inspection, but who
has the time to spend in the county
clerk's office searching out the
records,, and Miss Blair wouldn't
have time for anything else but
receive callers if the several hun-
dred voters in the county made it
a regular business to keep pouring
over the records to see what the
court has been doing.
The cost to the county for pub-
lishing the proceedings each
month in a condensed but compre-
hensive form would not be over
$100 a year, perhaps not over half
that sum, and we beleive that there
is not a taxpayer in the county
who wouldn't enjoy reading the
proceedings.
When you see your commission-
er, tell him so if you would like to
see the official business of the
county court published. The Texas
law doesn't require this, altho the
law of practically all other states
does, but it is the only way to keep
the entire public in direct touch
with the court.
Notice W. L. & P. Patrons
We wish to express an appre- i
ciation for your patience and cour-
tesies while the plant has been |
crippled thru broken machinery
on the large engine. We are over-1
loading the day engine to care for
as much service as we can until
the repairs come. Part of the ma-
chinery has come from the faCr I
tory by express and as soon as the
remainder arrives we will again
have full service to all.
Machines will break; this is an
unavoidable circumstance, and we
are expending considerable mon-
ey , to rush repair parts thru the
factory.
The plant is operated for your
benefit and we want you to feel
that we want the service to be the
best, just as you who are consum-
ers of the service want the power
to be. We want your co-operation
and your mutual interest in build-
ing up the service. Thanking you,
we are,
Sincerely,
Canadian W. L. & P. Co.

The Leader shas often wondered
why a town of Canadian's size
should have no doctors, dentists
nor lawyers. Of course we know it
is not ethical for lawyers and doc-
tors to advertise, but where is the
breach of etiquette in a card giv-
ing office address and office hours.
When one wants to know "who.
where and when" he has to askj
someone else instead of turning
to the old reliable family comfort
—the home paper—to get the
facts. However, we do notice that
the Record, in speaking of any
professional man. in Canadian,
says: "Hon. or Atty Doe" or "Doc-
tor Doe" instead of saying "John
Doe". And we "have never heard
of one of Canadian's professional
men kicking at the prefix; but what,
would they do if plain old "John
Doe" was used? — Wellington
Leader.
Watermelons and Coyotes
Herman Butts, a dry farmer liv-
ing a few miles north of Fort Sum-
ner, planted a small patch of wa-
termelons last summer for the
sale of which he received $36.
Coyotes ate many of his melons.
When frost killed the vines and the
melon season was over he gathered
'the green melons and stored them
in a dry cellar. Later, when he
thot the fur was getting good he
set a couple of traps where the
melons had grown, using the mel-
ons as a lure. He caught fifteen
coyotes before he ran out of bait
Last week he received $82 for the
fifteen skins. The first two or three
did not bring much, but some of
the later catches sold for as high
as $12 each, not counting the
bounty.—Ft. Sumner (N.M.) Re-

The attention of the Record
readers is called by the candidates
to the fact that all political an-
nouncements made 'so far have
been by Democrats and subject to
the Democratic primary. In view
oi the fact that a call for a primary
had not been made and this coun-
ty has held only one primary in
its history, it did not seem neces-
sary to especially impress the po-
litical phase of their candidacy,
since the county is about 97,000
majority Democratic anyway. But
at the request of the candidates
where we omitted their politics,
we will state that all announce-
ments are subject to the demo-
cratic primary, July 24, 1920, and
the candidates are simon pure
Democrats.
