TEXAS FARMERS SHOULD DEMAND TEX-
AS MADE PLOWS.
The most eonviiiting' argument I'ur patron
izing liiimc industrii's and keeping Texas money
in Texas that lias appeared in public prints re
ccntly is a press dispateli troin Indiana, lexas
papers last week carried the announcement tli.it
the leading agricultural implement factories of
that state had doubled their working lorce and
were employing night and day shilts idling 01
ders placed by Texas farmers.
The farmers of Texas spend more money for
agricultural implements than those of any oth-
er State and only a small per cent goes to Texas
factories. A total of $10,000,000 was spent by
Texas farmers last year lor plows, and less than
a half million dollars went to lexas manufac-
turers. There are four farm implement factor-
ies in this State and the price and quality of
their product compares iavorably with those
manufactured anywhere in the nation.
Why not a "Back to the Soil With Home In
dustrv Patronage'' movement? Let every lexas
farmer demand Texas-made plows and we will
increase the number of smoke stacks in lexas
instead of filling dinner pails in some tar away
state.
The merchant has his part in bringing about
the change. Let him buy Texas made goods so
far as is possible and recommend them every
opportunity he has. The recommendations ot
the local dealers amounts to much in making of
sales. His customers have confidence in his
judgment and integrity and act in many cases
according to his suggestion.
.The sentiment of the buyer is somewhat re-
sponsible for the present condition. So long as
he calls for goods made in other states or foreign
countries, the local dealers will carry them in
stock for his benefit. The farmer can bring
the desired change by inquiring where each ar-
ticle is made, and calling for home-made goods.
If one merchant does not carry them in stock,
inquire of another. Every dealer desires the
consumers to buy from him, instead of going to
someone else or to some place out of the county
or out of the state.
COTTON WAREHOUSES
A well developed cotton warehouse system
means that the waste under the present system
will be eliminated. This item has been an enorm-
ous one. In our own little city it amounts to
thousands of pounds each year, tor this wast
ed Heece the farmers will collect a just price nf
ter the warehouses are built. The farmers have
been losing all this useless waste by receiving
n lower price for the pounds which they have
actually sold.
Again, a good warehouse system can be made
a medium through which tho fanner can sell
his cotton directly to the spinners. The mid
dleman's profit will be saved, and the gamblers
and other useless tricksters will be eliminated.
The farmer will ive more for his cotton,
while the spinner will pay actually less.
On with the campaign for cotton warehouses
all over the country. It is a step toward a fuller
independence of not only tanners but of every
class.
Meet us at the picnic Thursday and Friday,
Augustand 2H.
And again maybe the reason more men in
Texas do not run for office is that they have
come to the conclusion that the office is not
worth a- much as thev would have to pay for it.
Collin County is famed for its enduring and
fertile black waxy soil, its line horses ami
mules, thoroughbred cattle, hogs, and fine poul
try. However, these are only sidelines to her
main productions cotton, corn, wheat, oats
and hay.
The best way to make a farm pay is—work.
McKinney should have a cotton warehouse.
To make mankind better and happier, build
good roads.
#
A mighty good time right now to plant those
fall turnips.
McKinney is going to have a Dollar Day, Sat
urday, September 5, at which time all the load
ing merchants of the city will have unusual vai
ues for one dollar. It's a fine idea and will no
doubt lie the cause of drawing trade to McKin
ney from all over Collin County.

PRESS COMMENT
SERVIA.
The present Servian monarch, King Peter,
was raised to tho throne following the assassi
nation of his predecessors, eleven years ago. For
a long time Europe refused to recognize tho new
king. It might have been better for the perma
nont peace of Europe if he had never been rec-
ognized. just as Woodrow Wilson refused to en-
dorse treachery and assassination in the person
of Huerta. The assassination of the Austrian
Prince by Servian sympathizers sot Austria and
Europe aflame. So Huerta might have forced
the United States into a war with Mexico
through some unspeakable outrage, if he had
not been stopped in time. Tn dealing with the
affairs of nations, it is not a misfortune that we
have a student of history as our Chief Execu-
tive. -Harper's Weekly.

Kdltors The I mlly Courier Gazette:
\Vn have rend and reread Hi" "I'rcus
<'(iinrnent" In the Dally of Auk- 15 on
"War and the Clntrch." Wo are not
surprised at the first thought present-
ed liy your respected Dallas contem-
parary, that the church lins shaine-
fully neglected Its mission to preach
"Peace on earth and K od will to-
ward men." Is it not a fact that
many who pose as (lod's messeng-
ers have quit preaching or falleiVto
preach the Gospel of good tidings
which the Angle preached to tho
shepherds saying, "Behold, 1 bring
you good tidings of great Joy which
shall be to all people;" Duke 2: 10.
Did not tho Apostlle Paul declare
that the Qospel was preached before
to Abraham saying: "fn thee, shall
all nations be blessed;" (lal. .1: 8. Do
we doubt that flod i able to perform
his oath to Abraham. (Sod's word
ami promises are Just as sure to day
to those who arc of the faith of Abra-
ham as It was to him. Wo see now
that the time is at hand for the I.ord
to perform that good thing for Is-
rael which he has promised so long;
tsa. 40: 1 and 2. Jer. .12: 37 and 42.
One thing yet Is to come to the world
of mankind tn general, and that is a
great, time of trouble such as never
has been since there was a nation;
Dan. 12: 1. Math. 24: 21.
Tlie scriptures hold forth the doc-
trine that (lod has made abundant
provision for tho recovery of the
world of mankind, from death con-
ditions back to life again; ami Christ
who is this provision, bought tho
world nf mankind which was under
sentence of death, because of Adam's
transgression and will during tlie
mllllcnnlum lift up the world of
mankind and bring all Into a know-
ledge nf the truth. All who are then
loyal to truth and riglieousness, will
be granted everlasting lift; Tim. 2: 4.
Jno. .1: 16. Those who are wicked,
who continue in wickedness after they
are brought ti> a knowledge of the
trutli will be destroyed from among
tho people. Acts 8: 23.. All the
wicked will God destroy. Ps. 14.': 20.
For the church It Is different. She
Is ha vine her trial or Judgement
now. During this gospel age the Dord
has been seeking out from amongst
the world of manjtlnd whom he has
redeemed, an Kloct class, footstep fol-
lowers, a little flock, a bride for His
son. When the last members of this
Hrldc class have been chosen and the
marriage of the Son takes place, then
the Spirit and the Ilrlde will say,
come. Itev. 22: 17. Then all who
will, may come. The world Is not *n
trial now for life or death, nil were
condemned because of Adam's trans-
gression. The children of Israel were
on trial for life or death under the
law covenant, but they were a. typi-
cal people. They could not obtain
life by tho law for the law was perfect
and the Jews were imperfect. N'o
Imperfect mini could keep the perfect
law of God. Horn. 3: 10 and 2fl. The
apostle Peter says "The tx rd know,
eth liow to deliver the Godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the un-
just unto the d.iy of judgement to be
punished." We agree with State
Press that the church Is a spiritual
kingdom, but only In Its cmbryatlc
stage. The church does not have
control over the condition of things
yet. However, when tho last members
of the body of Christ shall have past
beyond the veil, nnd are united to
her head, she will Indeed be a spiritu-
al kingdom and will speak peacn to
tho world, but not until thrones and
kingdoms have been pounded Into
dust. This Is Indeed a sad thing to
see. Nevertheless It Is tho day of
Gods vengence ns we understand It,
ami crowned heads, prayers of mon/
nor authorities, can by any means
stop It until men's hearts of nil
classes have been bumbled, until
they shall cry out for hepl, and ac-
knowledge their Inability to govern
themselves proporlf.
• Here tho word of tjie I.ord to the
Nations assembled before him for
Judgement.—"Come near, yo Nations,
to here; and hearken, ye people; let
the earth hear and all that is therein;
the world, and all things that como
forth of It For the Indignation of
t lie I.ord is upon all nations, and his
fury upon all their armies. Tho
I.ord Is un everlasting King; at his
wrath the uarth shall tremble, and
tlie. nations shall not be able to ubldo
llis indignation. A noise shall come,
oven to the ends of tho earth; for tho
Ijord hath a controversy with tho
nations—thus saith the Ijord of hosta,
behold, evil shall go forth from nation
to nation, and a great whirlwind, In-
tense and complicated trouble and
commotion shall bo raised up from
the coasts of tho earth. And the
slain of the Ixird In that day shall bo
from one end of the earth unto tho
other end of the earth. Wait ye up-
on me, saith the Ixird, untlll the day
that I rise up to the prey; for my
determination Is to gather the
nations, that I may assemble tho
kingdoms, to pour upon them mine
indignation, even ull my fierce
anger; for all the earth, (the present
social order) shall be devoured with
the fire of my jealousy; for then
(afterward) will I turn unto the peo-
ple a pure language; (unmixed with
traditional errors) that they moy all
call upon tho name of tho Ixird to
serve him with one consent. Isa. 34:
1 and 2. .ler, 10: 10. 25; Sland 33.
Zeph. 3: S and 9. Why not preach
the gospel of glad tidings which shall
be unto all people Instead of evil
tidings of great misery upon !I9 out
of every 100.
