A bad road is an utterly worth-
less asset on the industrial led-
ger of a community, say s the
Texas Commercial Secretaries'
Association, and one mile of had
road offsets the value of three
miles oj good roads. Build good
roads and help Texas grow.
The Denton County Poultry
apociation are arranging for a
poultry show to be held Dec. 1, 2
and 3. Liberal premiums are to
be offered and entires are upen
to all comes. Fully 2000 birds
are expected to be on exhibit.
The various automobile as-
sociations in Texas will fight the
effort to have a vehicle tax
enacted against automobiles by
the next legislature. It seems
that they she uld be willing to a
reasonable tax if it should go to
the bettering of the roads, for the
automobile user is the one who
would get the greatest pleasure
out of good roads.
The prosperity of Texas far-
mers in the districts where good
roads have been built, has in-
creased by leaps and bounds
and the interest which the far-
mers are taking in the subject
and the manner in which they
co-operatinK with the commer-
cial organizations in securing
better highways augurs well for
the future prosperity of the
agricultural interests.
State Land Commissioner
Robinson has recommended that
the state offer for sale without
residenoe restrictions all the
unsold publio school land. The
wisdom of suoh a course is doubt-
ful. While much of the land is
unfit at present for homes of the
poorer people, it would seem
unwise for this land to drift into
the hands of land syndicates.
The pressure of population will
in lime makemuoh of these lands
needed for homesteads for the
people who would have to pay
good long prioes for them after
they pass into the hands of land
companies.

Building Blocks, Silo
Blocks, Drain Tile
and Fence Posts
With Our Low Cost Machinery any Farmer Can Make His Own
Building Blocks, Drain Tile and Fence Posts at a Big Saving in Cost
For the farmer owning a sand pit, gravel pit,
or a stone quarry or who lives near one or more of
these, where this material may be had simply for the
hauling, cement is the cheapest and best building
material he can use. Enough Portland Cemeut to
make a buildin? block 8x8x 111 Inches costs about two
or three cents. For most fanners the gravel or
crushed stone and sand costs nothing at all but the
hauling and the building blocks, drain tile and
fence posts may be made at odd times when it is
impossible to do other work oti the farm. This en-
ables the average farmer to build farm buildings of
all kinds at the lowest possible cost, frequently for
one half and even one third contractors' prices, and
build better buildings than he would have if he used
any other known material.
Tills Ih the nse of cement, Its use tans become almost
universal, It is the ideal material for use on the farm, not
only liecau.se it Is inexpensive, most farmers having all the
raw materials necessary with tbe single exception of
cement, hut because it lasts practically forever and is fire-
proof. No farmer has adequate tire protection, therefore,
he ought to erect buildings as nearly fireproof as possible,
Cement block walls, cement Boors, cement pillars, cement
roofs, will not burn. Cement drain tiles are better
than the old clay tile, because they are porous and
their strength Increases with a«e. Cement fence
posts are cheaper and better than wooden fence
posts, they last forever, tires along the roadsides do
not effect them. Cement for tbe silo, cement for
the pig pens, feeding yards—In short, cement Is
Ideal for every building purpose on the farm, be-
cause It Is cheaper In the beginning and lusts prac-
tically forever without renewal, ana Is fireproof.
We sell cement working machinery of every kind at the lowest possible
prices. We sell cement block machines at one-third the prices asked by many
manufacturers and dealers. Wo have everything In cement machinery—alt
kinds of building block machines, silo machines, chimney molds, porch
