The South i s the greatest

Care of the Insane.
, The situation of twelve insane
patients confined in a single jail
in Texas, reported in the news
columns of the Review a few
days ago, affords another im-
pressive illustration of the dis-
graceful and. humiliating effects
of the present system of caring
for the insane and it calls loudly
and eloquently for a remedy.
ere are nearly 250 counties
m Texas, so with a report of!2
patients of this class in one-jail,
we tan only speculate on the to-
tal number of insane persons
who are being herded with crimi-
nals in other prisons. Certpnfy
there is a large number, and it is
to be the State's discredit that
evfen one such person should suf-
fer the humiliation which cannot
but be involved in such an indig-
nity. \
With three asylums in the
State, there is no room for un-
fortunate persons who may suff-
er mental afflictions during the
several months before a remedy
can be supplied by the legisla-
the west, formerly called the
semi-anp^country. "During the,;
past few years scientists have'
been at work in these "sections
and by scientific agricultural
methods, have' made possible
good crops in the dry years. The
Plains of Texas have been called
semi-arid but normally has suffi-
cient rainfall to raise the best of
wheat, oats, barley, flax, maize,
kaffir, peanuts, alfalfa and millet.
Being a hew country it is -'subF"
ject to drouths,:justfas the fertile
plains of Illinois and Iowa were
Subject to drouths when first
being settled. But the scientist
has been at work and is now at
work . teaching the, fanner how
to Handle the land in dry years
until it has become possible to
raise fine crops, as this year
when only 60 per cent of normal
rainfall was fallen in the country.
The land values on the Plains are
very small compared with othgr
states. It is only a question of
time when the land now selling
at $25 will bring $100 and more.
Those who now own land on the.
Plains will realize a great profit
from the natural increase. The
only advice the far-sighted man
needs is to get some land, move
here and make money by scien-
tific farming and within -a -few
year„s refuse to sell at $100 per
acre the land thgjgj^you can now
buy for $25 or less.

afid below ground to make the
whole state a garden patch. The
next thing is to knpw how to
save and apply it th^ most econ-
omically and to the best advan-
tage in gradual and widespread
utilization. That the state should
waste no time in solving the
problem, is the opinion of all.
- Saving by Good Roads.
~ The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture of Tennessee in a recent re-
port said that it cost the farmers
of that state $8,000,000 to haul
to market their products,
amounting to $103,000,000, the
hauling ' thus costing over one-
thirteerith of the value. "Had
we an improved system of high-
ways this cost would have been
reduced at least 50 per cent, and
the farmers would have saved
$4,000,000, Or enough money to
have built 1800 miles of macad-
amized road."
The Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal cites as an example of the
Tennessee farmers voting
against good roads, one who re-
marked: 'I'd ha' voted ag'in them
road bonds/but the blame roads
was so bad I could not get to
town iptime for the meetin.'

. Stinginess.
If there is Anything on earth
that gives lis a longing for
eternal rest and deep, damp soli-
tude, it, is a man who comes to a
towH or .county, guilds Up a big,
paying business, grOws rich and
then squats down on the gold
like a hen on a door knob, and is
too stingy even to let the gravels
grind in his own big gizzard.
A real, genuine 18-karat,
stingy, selfish man can't be hon-
est, and if he ever gets to heaven
and has wings, he will fold them
up and walk for fear he will ruf-
fle a plume or lose a tail feather.
THe kind of men who build up a
town and country and enjoy life
and make the best citizens, are
the enterprising, energetic and
liberal men, who believe in living
and letting Others live; and who
does not, when they get a dollar,
squeeze it till the Goddess of
Liberty feels like she had on a
corset. Such squeezing is what
causes hard times and stops the
circulation of the American
If it were not' for our
shalj deal more liberally in the
future than in the past, the ap-
propriation that will be made
will be barely sufficient to pro-
vide for the accomodation of the
patients who will be waiting for
room when the legislature con-
venes. Clearly there should be
a change in the manner of fak-
ing care of the insane.
That more room is the only
solution cannot be questioned,
and the logical cpnclusion is that
additional buildings should be
constructed capable of occomo-
dating all the patients in future
years. ' ' ' .. ;■ ''
This is a subject Which is of
are her future great iTiterest to all Texans and
itris particularly important to
citizens of this part of the State.
Commercial organizations should
become interested in the matter
and members of the legislature
should be made acquainted with
the necessity for making the
suggested improvements, -^)n3y

The above figures show the growth of our stock

began business with only $47,66 worth of goods.
We haH only five small counters and no item" that
sold for m^re than 25 cents. Now we have a stock
that will invoice at least $ll00.00 We want to
thank our valued customers for such a liberal pat-

on a j^ash busis, losing no accounts; and as we have
very little expense, and buying-serviceable goods in
