Meeting
LONG VIEW. TEXAS, Jan. 1—
East Texas quality products are
to be placed on a standard
basis.
Steps to bring about the crea-
tion of an East Texass brand or
label whicth will carry an assur-
ance similar to the magic words
"bottled in bond were taken
at a meeting of the Agricultural
Committee of .ill© East Texas
Chamber of Commerce Wedens-
day.
The Committe, pointing out
that one of the greatest obsta-
cles in the w..y of obtaining
proper markets r East Texas
products has been a lack oi'
uniformed quality. 1 ' ruJ. ad
its marketing sub-committee to
work out a suitable label t0 be
placed on all products which
have be^n standardized or
which pass Federal inspection.
The committee endorsed plans
Which are under way for the
second regional meeting of the
East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce to be held in Jacksonville
January 25 and 26. An invi-
tation recently was extended by j
the Jacksonville Chamber of j
Commerce for a meeting there ;
of the Central Division of the j
East Texas organization.
The committee was told that
representor ves from thirty j
to forty counties are expected
to attend the Jacksonville meet-
ing. a which agriculturtl sub-
jects will be featured and wfhich
will be addressed by outstand-
ing business men and agrieul-
.-f the South-
An invitation also was extend
ed to hold a meeting ot' the
Gtilf Coast division of the
Chamber in Livingston some-
time in February, and the com.
mittee favored acceptance.
Endorsement of the propos-
ed sub-station of the state ex-
periment station j department,
which would be placed in North-
east Texas on the Houston clay
soil or black land, was given by
the committee. A meeting to
consider the advisability of
such substation has been called
by the East Texas Chamber of
C<>mmoive for Paris January G.
lie ports made to the com-
mittee indicate that the "More
Food and Feed" campaign being
carried en by the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce is meet-
ing v/'th si!i-ee$.~. in all p ri-; of
tha territory, and that larger
■■ereage will be planted to fe -d
and feed stuff next year.
The committee iaJso (heard
that the value of East Texas
crops for 1926, despite cotton
price slumps, was almost equal
to the value of the 1925 crops.
This fftct denotes a sufficient,
gain in feedstuffs, food, poul
try and livesock to offset the
cotton losses- An optimistic
spirit prvailed throughout the
meeting, members asserting
j that conditions today are much
| better throughout the terri-
tory than was expected 60 days
j ago.
I Those present at the meeting
included: John M. Middleton,
Greenville, chairman: Judgt
John W. Scott, Marshall: H. B.
Howard, Pittsburg: S. T. Stan-

it easy of access.
What we do not know of,
does not exist—for us. What
we cannot get helps us not at
all.
The things that make life
comfortable are those we an
get without more effort than
they are worth,
Modern business, recognizing
this, has developed modern dis-
tribution. It has brought the
rat trap, or the vacunum clean-
er, or the electric iron, out of
the forest and put it in the hard
ware store right around the
corner.
And it has told us it is there.
It has ADVERTISED the
fact.
Now, More Than Ever
While the Senate may not
j be so pure and undefileti as
; was the renowed Sir (iaiaiiad,
i it has been lately pointed out
J that the collective nose of t-lie
j Senate functions raai r well in
j scenting out the corruptionists
i in thesg United Statee.
For instance, it wrote "ex"
: in front of the title of Senator
I conferred upon one Lorimer
j when it was made plain he had
j spent to much money for a seat
in the Senate; it let air in Mr.
; Newberry and opened the door
] for him to w^alk out; it pulled
the chair in the Cabinet out
from under Mr. Denby: it
would not confirm the Warren
appointment because it'held his
dealings with the Sugar Trust
did not make him sweet; it
drove out Mr. Daugherty from
the Department of Justice; it
showed the people of the coun-
try tjiat the oil reserve affair
was greasy; it has investigated
the charges of large expendi-
tures in the primaries in a num
ber of states.
To be sure, in most of these
cases, it did not require an ex-
ceptionally keen senee of smell
to discover the stench. But the
point is l)hat the Senate did
dicover it and did act inthe face
of supine inaction by other de-
partments.
And now the Senate has
out to break a lance with
ernor Small, of Illinois and
emissary Frank Smithy
The Senate dest

who believe in
ernment. It ahoi
the good work at
than ever!
This is Said T<

In South Africa
An inspector of schools in
South Africa invited some boys
to join him in a swim in the
lagoon. The boys watched him
undress and go in, but tJhemseF
ves remained on the bank.
Alter a long and enjoyable
swim the inspector chaffed the
boys for not coming in,and said
* • [ suppose you are afraid to
oa v he w i th an inspector ?''
"No, Sir,'" said one of the
boys, ' but we saw a crocodile
in this lagoon yesterday."
TACT
Best And Second
Best Rat Trap
Elbert Hubbard once credit-
, ed to Emerson the statement:
"If a man makes t?he best rat
: trap the world will wear a path
: way to your door, even if it be
in the depths of the forest."
But meanwhile the rats will
overrun the world's pantries
and granaries, unless the maker
of the second best trap meets
the neeed by sending his pro-
■ dnct whre it can be used.
The world's rewards go to the
men who get things done—to ;
those who, having a useful
thine, -et :.t be known end makr.
Smith went every night to a
pool room to play for ten cents
a point. One night Mrs. Smith
was awakened by loud and
persistsent knocking at her door
Putting her Jiead out the win-
dow she asked: "Who is it?M
What do you want? ;
' Does M#3. Smith live
here?" asked the man on tjtie
step.
"I am Mrs. Smith," she re-
plied.
"Well, I'm Mr. Kelley from
the pool room up the street.
Your husband shoots pool tjhere
| every evening."
j "Yes I know that."
; ''He was shooting tonight and
j lost $1,500."
"My husband lost $1,500
shooting pool? He ought to
drop dead!"
"That's just what he did
madam. Good night! "
