TOE TANltANDLE LOSES ITIIEND
In nn nrtielo on this paRO yesterday
Mrs Phelie K Warner who e homo Is
in Claude Armstrong County said
Fitly years from today tho Panhnndlo
of Texas will be one of the richest food
fields in thin Nation and men anil wo
mon will wonder why they did not know
it sooner
And bctwocn tho time Mrs Warner
wroto those word and their appearaneo
In print there died at a sanitarium in
Tort Worth a man who had known that
truth and preached if for a quarter of
a century In tho death of David B
Kceler vice president of the Fort
Worth Dnevor and of tho Wiebita
Valley Railroad tho Panhandle lost
ono of its best friends Twentyfive
years ago ho was saying what Mr
Warner said yesterday and what many
of us know to bo tho absolute truth today
He believed in the future of tho
Panhandle a a center of food production
whon tho neraR Texan thought
of it only as a windswept wilderness
that would never bo very much else
lie preached thqt faith in season and
out of season and there are thousands
of farmers all over thePanhandle today
who will testify to tho fact that
his preaching did much to translate that
faith into reality
There are parts of tho Panhandle today
that already are among tho leading
pork producing centers of the world
which owe that distinction to this mans
faith Mr Kceler made it a point to
become personally acquainted with as
many farmers in that territory as possible
years ago when it was not a difficult
matter to know every man in a
county He used to make trips to the
Panhandle get off a train and spend
days at a time talking to the farmers
And ho talked hogs continually Many
a farmer began in a small way to raise
hogs because of something Mr Heeler
aid to him about the matter and as
tbeso succeeded others followed their
example We do not mean to suggest
thnt he was tho only man to talk hogs
in the Panhandle but he was among the
first to recognize its great future as a
hog producing country nnd to preach
that doctrine persistently enougfi to
make Allien Act upon It
He believed in alt of tho resources of
the PaniiaAdlo nnd to the day of his
death tho Panhandle was his hobby Ho
was tho kind of a railroad man who is
a blessing to the country tnrough which
his road pas ed He was nn advanco
agent of civilization Twentyfive years
ago or longer ho saw In Its fullness a
vision of the Panhandles future Ho
saw cultivated fields good roads school
hon o churches prosperous towns and
villages libraries and colleges all of
tho things which nro marks of truo
progress and above all ho saw a sturdy
and Independent citizenship coming to
tako possession of that region the
equal Of any in tho world Nothing
pleased him o much during his lifctimo
as to hear of somo farmer who hnd Increased
his production or Of a new
family moving to tho Panhandle to Hvo
and help build up tho country It was
not merely thnt it meant moro business
for the railroad that was only incidental
Tho big thing that such events
signified to him was thnt his dream was
gradually coming true
In his passing therefore tho Panhandle
ha lost n friend and ft benefactor
And by the same token Fort
Worth also has lost a friend For while
be ncor figured prominently in movements
to put forward the narrow and
moro prescribed interests of this city
his faith in tho Panhandle nnd the ad
of
jacent country was perhaps moro
lasting and genuinely constructive significance
to Fort Worth than any mere
local activities could possibly bo He
lived out the full span of three score
years and ten and when he laid down
the burden of life It was at the close of
a long and useful career The names of
such men seldom figure on the rages of
written history and yet they are the
true builders of empire the real founders
of civilization Fort Worth Star

To buy cheap materials to be satisfied
with cheap help to be content to
put out a cheap product is not tho ideal
of tho man of affairs To be sure tho
one who adopts this polrcy may achieve j
mediocre success but in the pathway
of progress ho is sure to find before i
long a mysterious barrier raised His
neighbor perhaps who has not made j
such a rapid getaway at the start is
building solidly for tho future and his
normal healthy merited growth knows
