Toy Depicted On Every Countenance
And the Cause of Such Jubilation.
«
"Every man looked as If a great estate had Just been left him," wrote
Macau lay, referring to the successful issue of a British war which the populace
of London had been celebrating. Just such contentment was depicted on the
countenances of the shrewd shoppers who for the past few weeks availed them-
selves of the unwonted opportunities presented by our All-Over-the Store-CIear-
ing Sale.
And in view of the values, would it not be wonderful were it otherwise? It's
one thing to offer attractions that SEEM alluring; quite another, at times, those
that Prove so.

A little later on when the farm-
ers have garbered their crop and
have a little leisure it would he
advisable to organize a democratic
club lor the purpose of seeing that
the principles of the party and the
interest of its candidates are given
the necessary attention. There, of
coarse, is no probability of a re-
publican congressional candidates
being clected in this district, still
it is always advisable to have
democratic majorities as large as
possible.
We are advised by Chairman
Wolters of the Ninth Congression-
al Executive committee, that ar
rangements are beii.g perfected to
have a number of prominent
speakers address the people f
Schulenburg, within the near fut-
ure on behalf of democratic prin-
ciples and the candidacy of the
Hon. Geo. F. Buigess. Among
those whom our people will have
the pleasure of hearing will be
Congressman iileburg, whose
speech will be delivered in Ger-
man, and United States Senator
Culberson. A definite announce-
ment of the dates on which the
speeches will be delivered will be
made later.
Editor Sticker:
In my last communication 1 said
the outlook for anything like a
normal cotton crop was very
gloomy indeed, and that unless the j
weather and surrounding circum-
stances were yery favorable that
this section would not average
more than one bale to every six
acres planted, and from the pres-
ent outlook 1 am still of the same
opinion. In traveling from here,
by the way of Bre&lau, to Hallets-
ville you pass hundreds of acres
<if cotton that will not average a
well developed cotton bloom to the
acre, and what few young bolles
are on the stalks are punctured
full of holes, while a large ma-
jority of them will fall off and
those left on the stalks will per-
haps have from one to two locks
of indifferent cotton and you see
from some of tho different corres-
pondents that the crop is very
promising in uiany local localities,
and others report a very small per
cent below last year's crop, and 1
notice in last weeks' Sticker one
farmer,is counting on one bale per
acre, I passed by his field the
other day and if he averages one
bale to eveiy four he will bo doing
extraordinary well. All of which
is calculated to keep tho price of
cotton down, until it has all passed
out of the producer's hands, and
then the speculators get the
profits. They have been abroad
during the hot summer months,
while the poor farmer and his
family are toiling through the
heat of*a summer Sun making the
co'ton and as soon as he begins to
gather tho fleecy staple and pre-
pare it for the market theso fol-
lows raise their sails and light
down in different localities to get
their year's crop. There is a scrip-
tural adiige which says: ''Where
the carcass is, the yultures gath-
er," applies very well to the cot-
ton speculator, because a man who
gambles for a livelihood does so
to win regardless of the means be
uses. Talk to me of a govern-
ment of the people, by tho people
and for the people, and 1 will show
you a government of the trust, by
^he trust and for the trust, Now
Mr. Editor, don't think I am a
calamity howler, but when 1 rea
lize that the world depends upon
the farmer for food and clothing
he outranks all others in the meas-
ure of his importance to the social
and economic welfare. Just think
a few years back when less iban a
half million bales of cotton were
raised in this State, now a nominal
crop reaches close on to three
million bales, which places the
Slate in the world's lead as a pro-
ducer of the necessary material,
which goes to clothe and feed the
world, upon the farmer depends in
a larger degreo than any other
agency, the welfare and prosperity
of tho State. Since the farmers
constitute a majority of the citi-
zens of the State, they have the
right to demand that every agency
which they have'ereated for in
public welfare should absolutely
have proper treatment. Now the
producers should see that they get
fu.ll value for their produce. The
railroads should see that the farm-
er gets his produce to market on
as reasonable terms as possible,be-
cause they could not exist were it
not for him, and every intelligent
farmer knows, were not for rail-
roads he could not get his produce
to market under the old system of
wagons. The interests are one.
and should be the best of friends,
I believe I can say without con-
tradiction that all the farmer
wants from the powers of govern-
ment is just laws and equal rights
that he shall have fair treatment
in all of his business transactions
with his follow man. Let tho^e
who buy and sell make a reasona-
ble per cent. 1 am not opposed to
corporations or combinations for
tho people of developing tho
interests of the State, so long as
they hand out justice to every citi-
zen. Live up to the Golden liuie;
Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you. The Good
Lord made no mistake when he
made this world. He made some
localities to produce certain pro
ducts that could not be made m
other parts of the world.
Let the matured law of ex-
change have full way, kill
tho boll weevil, let the farmer sell
where can get the most for his
produce and buy where he can get
the cheapest and you will see this
country and this people prosper as
never before. Kirk.
LOGIC OF MIKE.
niS fortune.
"Who is that handsome young
gentleman standing over there?"
inquired an old gentleman of a
rich old lady at a party.
"That is my son-in-law, he is a
yery brilliant young man—made
a large fortune by law."
"Indeed!" said the old gent,
"how's that."
"The law made him my daught-
ers husband."
A noted German professor of
chemistry has invented a process
by which water can be changed in-
to an illuminating fluid, similar to
oil, and giving a light more brill-
iant than oil, gas or electricity.
Now whenever that new process
gets into general use, the Standard
Oil Company will have to secure
an option on all the waters of the
globle. The next consequence, or
most probable result will be that
J. P. Morgan will not have
enough water to float his steamers.
And then a dreadful thought!
Where is the ice to come from in
the hot summer months, if all the
water will be used for lighting
and fuel purposes.
The Waters Fierce Oil Co. in
that case will be on the safe side,
after dropping the Pierce.
Water used in place of Oil: that
will also be a hard lick on the
rice growers,but never mind,no use
of despairing, some other scientist
will, in time, discover a substitute
for water. Lager beer is one of
them, at present.

Two Cambridge University men
of science have obsorved that the
misquito has an eye for color.
Some colors attract the delightful
insect moro than others. The ex-
periments were carried on by
means of boxes painted in various
colors. Blue was first with 108
mosquitoes to its credit, then came
brown and .lark red; white
"caught the eye" of the biter very
seldom indeed, only two skeeters
being attracted; but yellow h<>re
the prize triumphantly, for not an
insect would have anything to
do with it. As the mosquitoes
have a terrible bite and have also
proved to infect their victims with
malaria, this discovery is valuable.
Already the United States army
and navy authorities have resolved
to clothe their men on seryjee in
malarial districts in white shirts.
As the men had hitherto worn
blue shirts it will be seen that they
could not have worn worse.
