Dan Couch, president of the
First National Bank has donned
his ovea-alls and gone to farming.
He says that he has bargainad
for three mules that will cost him
five hundred dollars and he is go-
ing to buy him a sulky plow and
hit the corn row. Dan says that
he will have one hundred calves
next year and he wants to raise
enuf feed to fatten them for the
market. Let us know, Dan, the
first time you rig up your outfit,
as we will want to go down and
see you do your first breaking.
Well we thiuk when the bankers
go to farming, its time that we
were all getiingus a piece of land
and pitch a crop. We think that
it is mighty nice to farm—on pa-
per. You know that a newspa-
per man is a great farmer, he
can get to monkeying with thfi
muse any time before breakfast
and brenk up a million acres of
land, plant is after breakfast,
and harvest in the afternoon,
go in the paper business Dan, if
you want to farm easy.
SOU PRODUCTS
EVERY CONTINENT OF THE GLOBE TO BE ADEQUATELY
REPRESENTED AT TULSA. OKLAHOMA, WHEN
THE GATES OPEN OCTOBER 22, 1913
The International Soil Products Ex-
position, to be held at Tulsa, Okla-
homa, in October in connection with
the International Dry-Farming Con-
gress, will be a veritable world's fair
for farmers.
When the gates are opened on Oc-
tober 22 there will be on show good
crops from practically every conti-
nent on the globe, as well as from
eighteen western states and four
western provinces of Canada. Never
before in the history of this coun-
try have so many states and nations
taken part in an exclusively agricul-
tural fair and exposition.
Chinese farmers will bring an ex-
hibit nearly 15,000 miles to Tulsa to
compete with the farmers of Okla-
homa, Kansas and Texas on tlft> same
crops as are grown in the states
named. The exhibit from China will
eonsist largely of cotton, corn, kafir
corn, milo maize, millet, kaoliang,
wheat, rye and barley
Wheat from a number of foreign
countries will compete with the wheat
of the United States and Canada for
world supremacy and for the $1,250
threshing machine given by the
Rumely company for the best bushel
shown. Cotton from California will
fight for prizes with the cotton of
Oklahoma and Texas. Corn from
Mexico, where the stalks grow 16
feet high and two crops are raised
\n a season, will be shown in com-
petition with other corn from the
best farms in the south and south-
west. Oats from Russia, Australia,
I Saskatchewan, Oregon, and Utah will
i contest for world's prizes with the
j cats of Kansas and Oklahoma. Every
■ conceivable farm product grown in
¡ western America will be exhibited.
The United States government is
I spending $20,000 on an enormous ex-
himit of the work which is being
j done by the department of* agricul-
ture. The people of Saskatchewan,
Canada, are spending as much, and
the province itself has asked the
exposition management to furnish a
building 60 by 240 feet in size for
the Saskatchewan exhibit alone. The
Canadian show will be the finest and
most elaborate ever given oa the
south side of the international line.
Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah, Nevada, Idaho and California
are expected to have official state
exhibits.
The Exposition buildings and
grounds will occupy 120 acres, sev-
enty acres of which will be given
over to a complete farm machine
show and tillage and power demon-
stration. Every farm implement used
in the west and southwest will not
only be shown, but will be operated
by skilled men. Up-to-date methods
and machines for cultivating, plant-
ing and harvesting will be shown
daily in actual operation Just as on
the farm and in the hands of the
farmer himr.elf.
ROAD BUJT,DING.
Demonstration VJrv1r and Ma-
chinery on Exhibition at
the Dallas i air.
Building a public highway is the
most important human event of this
age and intelligent construction of
roads the greatest triumph in mod-
ern science. It is authoritatively es-
timated that sixty cents of every
dollar spent on public highways Í3
wasted through faulty construction
or in unwise methods of mainte-
nance.
The exhibits of road machinery
and model roads will be a public
highway institute that every per-
son who visits tht State Fair of Tex-
as at Dallas should attend.
The latest types of the most per-
fect road machinery will be parked
on the Fair Grounds for convenient
inspection. There will be model
highways and demonstration roads
laid out and samples of road mate*
rials and construction will be ex-
hibited and their valu« and utility
explained.
The improvement of our public
highways is the most stupendous
problem confronting the people of
Texas today. We have 140,000 miles
of public highways and 4,652 miles
are surfaced with stone, gravel or
similar materials. We spend approx-
imately $53.60 per mile per annum
on public highways. The per cent
of public highways improved in Tex-
as is 3.2 and in the United States
7:14. We spend approximately
$7,500,000 per annum on public
highways and $3,000,000 annually
on paved streets. Of this amount
$4,000,000 is raised by bond issues
and $3,500,000 by taxation. We
spend on an average of $2.00 per
annum per capita on our roads and
the average in the United States is
$1.55. We have four per cent of our
public highways classed as "improv-
ed" and the average in the United
States is nine per cent.
There is no better investment
than money intelligently spent on
public highways and every dollar in-
vested in road improvement adds
three times its value to adjoining
property and every argument that
applies to the improvement of pri-
vate property will apply with muti-
plied force to the improvement of
public property, and especially to
public highways, as every farmer
must use the roads.
There are many important lessons
that can be learned from the good
roads exhibit at the State Fair of
Texas at Dallas, Oct. IS to Nov. 2.
COTTON MILLS USE
LESS THAN ONE
PER CENT OF
PRODUCTION
Fifteen Hundred More Cotton
Mills Needed.
Cotton Mill and Farmer Insep-
arable Comrades.
There is no industry more impor-
tant to our progress than that of the
cotton mills and none more in need
of tiie patronage of our merchants
and of the friendship of the people.
Texas is on the frontier of the fac-
tory zone and the cotton mill is now
a pioneer industry. It can thrive
only where business conditions are
reliable, a public sentiment stable,
and the consuming public friendy
to its output. The product is a
staple one and when it enters the
market must meet the competition
of the eastern and southern mills
where there is an abundance of waste
labor, cheap fuel, cheap money, and
where conditions are more settled.
We have fifteen cotton mills in
Texas representing an investment of
$2,229,000, running 112,404 spin-
dles and having a capacity of 40,000
hales, a yearly output valued at ap-
proximately $2,250,000 and giving
employment to 1,000 people.
Our cotton mills use less than one
per cent of our cotton production;
the remaining ninety-nine per cent
seeks the foreign factory. The peo-
ple of Texas consume approximately
220,000 bales of cotton per annum
and yet out of the 40,000 bales man-
ufactured in Texas, at least seventy
per cent of it must find a market
outside of the State, tdue to our
failure to patronize home industry.
It would require 1,500 cotton mills
of the capacity of our present fac-
tories to consume the product of our
farms, call for an investment of
$250,000,000, give employment to
150,000 people and add approximate-
ly a quarter of a billion dollars in
value to our cotton crop.
These desirable conditions can on-
ly be obtained through co-operation
and by fostering and encouraging
this important industry.
The cotton mill and the cotton
farm are inseparable comrades and
in promoting the prosperity of the
i former we build up the latter.

Constipation, if Neglected
Causes Serious Illness
Constipation, if neglected, leads
to almost innumerable complica-
tions affecting the general heakh
Many cases of
typhoid fever,
appendicitis and
other severe dis-
eases are trace-
able to prolonged
clogging of the
bowels. Regard-
t h t effects o f
constipation, C.
E. Ayers, 6 Sabia
St., Montpelier,
Vt., says:
"I was afflicted
with constipation
and biliousness for
years, and ai times * became so bad £
would become unconscious. I have been
found in that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to
do me any rood. I would become i
weak and for days at a time could do -
no work. Not long ago I got a box
o£ Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and
after using them found I had never
tried anything that acted in such a
mild and effective manner. I believe
I have at last found the remedy that
■uits my case."
Thousands of people are sufferers
from habitual constipation and
while possibly realizing something
of the danger of this condition, yet
neglect too long to employ proper
curative measures until serious ill-
ness often results. The advice of
all physicians is, "keep your bowels
clean," and it's good advice.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at 25 cents*a
box containing 25 doses. If not
found satisfactory, your money is
returned.
