The estimate which ioUwentSal and

place upon thfe special demonstration

is conclusively shown by announce-
ment that the Texas Industrial Con-

the cultivation'of kafir corn and milo
maize. $2,000 will be awarded ex-
clusively for these crops, and the
contestants are required to cultivate
only two acres.
The prizes for kafir com and milo
maize are divided into two clasaes.
One for irrigated and the other for
non-irrigated crops. $1,000 ^'of-
fered in each class as follows:
First prize, 1300; second prize,
' $200; and ten prizes of $50 each.
In the 1912 contest the first prize
of $300 for the non-irrigated crop
was won by W. J. Levens of Roby,
Fisher county, on a yield of 158.51
bushels at a net profit of $49.05.
The second prize of $200 was won in
Fayette county by Raymond Baca of
Fayetteville. Bis yield was 157.1
bushels produced at a net profit of
$48.49.
In the irrigated class C. D. New-
berry, Eagle Pass, Maverick county

$52.21; and J. L. Norris of Rlcardo,
Nueces*county, won the second price
of $200 on a yield of 130.43 bushels
at a profit of $36.17.

wait for the rain and grow mature
when it comes, while the corn in
time of drouth will die. As food
for all kinds of stock, in both grain

as valuable as corn. Instead of
planting corn only, the Congress
suggests to farmers everywhere that

Oppose Dancing
Wishing to assert our position as a
church toward certain evil practisss,
such as gambling, drunkenness and
dancing, which are contrary to the
Word of God, a violation of the
spirit .and rules of lur church and
detrimental to the moral and spiritual
interests of the community.
Therefore, be it resolved by this
church, that we urge any and all our
members to abstain from such prac-
tices.
Be it further resolved, that we
urge our members to withhold their
influence and support from any or-
ganization or institution that fosters
and encourages the above named
evils. Further, if any of our mem-
bers have been led into any of the
evils named above, we urge them,
for the love of Christ and his cause,
for their own good and the good
of others, to refrain from them.

That's it If you are botherad by a competitor who hasn't any
more gumption than to advertise, jnst stay calm aad L? around aad
whittle as usual. Just be patient and take things easy, while the
spiders spin webs across your cash drawer and the dirt-daubers build
them yet more stately mansions on your store shelves. Just wait, and
keep on waiting. And if the competitor dosn't go broke from paying
advertising bills—if, on the contrary, he gets more and more business as
the months and years go by, don't mind it You know that advertising
doesn't pay, and jnst as certain as you are about that, just that certain
you may be that he will become bankrupt, after which* you may have a
chance to dispose ot your shelf-worn goods. Be patient and whittle.
Be calm and keep knocking. Be wise and save the money you might
spend for advertising. And when the public has forgotten you, when
the flies have left their insignia upon every bit of merchandise in your
house, and when yon have become an old and disappointed and embit-
tered man, out of tune with the times* out of the current of modern life
and failure is writ large upon your consciousness, you m§y still be \
consoled by the reflection that your foolish competitor has built up a
business so big that it ts about to give hife nervous prostration. -
