For Commissioner of Precinct No. 2
J. A. COFFEE
The unparalled success that
this country is enjoying at pres-
ent in the production of truck
farming articles like cabbage
. onions melons tomatoes beets
beans and potatoes should in-
spire our farmers to plant
enough next year so that they
could get ttie benefit of carload
rates to the market centers.
The railroads are in sympathy
with moves of this character on
the part of the farmers. To in-
sure success in the undertaking
a thorough preparation of the
hoil should commence at once
by deep plowing and subsoiling
and fertilizing where possible
with manure. These things can
better be accomplished with
such organizations as Farmers'
Institutes which the News has
all along urged.
Poll Tax Due Oct. 1.
Poll tax for the year 1005 will
become due and payable on Oct.
1. County Tax Collector Upfola
expresses a hope that the tax
will be paid promptly and that
more men may quality for voting
during the next year than the
first year under the Terrell elec
tion law has brought forth.
While the year will be an off one
in politics there are those who
believe that important matters
will likely come before the peo-
ple for decision at the polls du
ring the year. Among these it
is stated that there will possibly
be a submission to the people
of a state prohibition question.
Some employer in advertising
tor an employe of one of the
trades recently in a Texas paper
says: "No tishermau need ap-
ply:" Heretofore the blow has
been aimed at "cigarette fiends"
and "booze fighters" but now
the man who likes to beat a cool
stream with a bamboo pole gets
it in the solar plexus. Don't care
the season's a little late for
fishing anyhow.
I RANDOM THOUGHTS. !
5
I u. a. B. ;
j The big packing house strike
has ended the unions being com-
I celled to give in. In this contest
i the losses to both parties runs away
I up into the millions. To the em-
! ployed menthe loser? in the i'ht
i there is absolutely no hope of in-
idemniU they must lose all and
; not onlv that but work harder and
for less wages than before the
strike. But those who think the
packers won't recoup ?re figuring
against history.
The big strike just now over was
assigned by the packers as the
cause for the recent declines in the
prices ot cattle; in other words it
was used as a lever to pull down
the market. Shippers all know-
how effective it was and hoped for
the end of the struggle looking as
they had a riht to for better prices
; to follow its termination. In this
they have been grievously disap-
pointed for instead of the expected
raise another tumble has come.
"Flooding the market" is now the
talk of the packers. In the exer-
cise of what is to them good busi-
ness judgment they simply want
to even up on the costs of the
strike. But be this as it may at
the present time the;e is but one
remedy in the hands of the cattle
men if they would stiffen the mar-
ket and that is by holding back
the cattle. This course alone will
mend the markets.
The News has several times dur-
ing the last twelve months given
expression to the belief that the
darkest period for the cattle bus-
iness of Texas would soon pass
away and that a brighter era was
even now in sight. Such is the
opinion of many others who are in
a much better position to know
whereof they speak than is this
writer. The National Live Stock
Commission Company in its adver-
tisement elsewhere in this paper
states the situation as this writer
has for sometime seen it and now
views it. "Now is the time to
have nerve." Hold your cattle if
at all possible arid you will surely
come out on top. Of course there
are some who are obliged to sell
and vtill others wlio will sell but
there are many who can luld and
to those we unhesitatingly say
Now! Now!! is the time to do it
and the reward is yours.

Will Indian Corn Grow
Swisher County?
This question has frequently
j been propounded to us and as a
' matter of fact we invariably an-
'swer in the afiirmative. We
have a number of farmers in the
j county who wear patches on the
j knees of their pants instead of
the seats who have long since
demonstrated this fact. It there
be any who doubt the adapta
bility of the soil and the sufti-
ciency of the seasons in Swisher
j county for the successful grow
ing of Indian corn we can for-
ever bauish their skepticism on
this point if they will only take
the trouble.to visit the Standard
oflice and examine some speci-
mens grown by Mr. Ym. Craw-
ford on his farm two miles east
of Tulia which are as fine as
grows anywhere. . He also
brought in some fine samples
of kaffir corn milo maize and
sorghu tn.
Mr. Crawford sold his farm in
Denton county last fall for 32.00
per acre and bought land in this
county for 4.00 per acre. Mr.
Crawford was a successful farm-
er back in Denton county and
says that he never raised better
corn there than be raised here
this season and that the secret
of his success lies in early rising
and deep plowing. Any farmer
in the county can do the same if
he will pursue like methods.

We believe cattle values are dragging on the bottom this season. Another year will witness a
decided up-turn lasting for many years to come. Our Texas friends must be of good cheer. Now
is the time to have nerve. Cattle raising is the best business on God's green earth. Let no man
become discouraged on account of low markets. The man who sticks and lasts wiil surely reap a
rich reward as the years go by.
Till FUTU1SI3 OUTLOOK ON CATTLE WAS NKVKK DIMGHTEIl THAN TO-DAY.
We call the attention of our Texas friends to the fact that our old stand-by (JKO. LONG of Can-
yon City one of the best known and most popular cow men of the Panhandle is' now located in our
office at Kansas City where he will meet his friends and give his personal attention to their shipments.

SOMETHING FREE!
Is about worked out as an advertis- 35
r ing catch phrase. Men who work 2
hard know that there is nothing
jp- FREE but air and that it costs
taxes to breathe that in most places. 2
So we don't offer you anything for
nothing but if you will give us the
Z chance we will give you 20 per cent
off on all our Mattings and Lace
Curtains. That offer will hold good
n till October 1. Better come early.
