"i i ui'ticularly appeal to the
farmers of the South to plant
abundant foodstuffs as well as
cotton," says President Wilson
in his appeal to the American
people. It will be noted tha' the
president savs "as well as cot-
ton." He recognizes that tljere
will be need for a large <iuauiity
of cotton and that it would be
onl,\ less disastrous not to have
a good supply of cotton than it
would to have a short supply of
fond. At the same time he re-
cognizes that there is no need to
urge th<' planting of cotton for
t he farmers will do this without
urging. Cotton is the crop which
the farmers of the South are ac-
customed to grow, it is the crop
for which their soil and climate
is particularly adapted. The
usual acreage of cotton will be
planted. The duty of the S >uth-
erri farmer is not the growing
of less cotton but the growing of
more food-stuff. The South
ought to be the garden spot of
the world, and it is only that lit-
tle use is made of its possibilities.
The South alone could be made
to feed the Nation. A* it is
nearly a billion dollars worth if
food products are bought in
other sections each year by the
people of the Southern States.
The South mj tT not only wipe
out this billion dollars, it ought
Governor Ferguson believes
that Texas will-be tin first state
to suffer in case the United
States is iuvaded. The Gover-
nor is right should the invasion
come through Mexico, a thing
that we consider improbable,
however we do not put anything
by old whiskers. The only thing
that will kt?p him out of Texas
is fear of the Unitdd States.
Should those mexicans get a lit-
tle help from the few Germans
in Mexico and make an attempt
at invading Texas, there will be
some fun right, if it may be call-
ed that The Governor is cor-
rect again when he says that
Texas can support an army of
5.000,000. Of course we can,
Texas is as big as Germany and
whatever those fellows can do
we can do.
SNAP SHOTS
Of course it is none of our
business how a drug store con-
ducts itself, but sometimes we
wonder what the prescription
clerk thinks of the soda jerker.
Our observation is that warts
bother a country boy less than
adenoids fret a town child.
Probably the worst specimen of
a henpecked man is the one who
has to search his wife's pockets
for car fare after she goes to
sleep.
Also it may ax well be admit-
ted that as a general thing, after
a woman has got six children
ready for Sunday school she is
