Ten Pages Today Farmers were up with their work, their crops were clean and the rain of last night was not out of tune or harmony with the situation. Capt. charity fund of $100,000 cash for the relief of the poor is characteristic of the man and shows the warmth of his heart and the depth of his sympathy for his afflicted fellowman. They are shipping cattle and hogs by the carloal from Cherokee county to the Fort. Worth packing houses now'.

The Jacksonville Progress tells of red steers going out from its town took on 325 pounds in 120 days and tipped the beam at 1600 after having been fed from a silo: and of fat hogs that got their weight from peanuts. And the Progress reasons that if the farmers in its neighborhood will cut down their cotton acreage and rear more hogs and cattle, and multiply their carload shipments will have one of the best counties in So might it be said of every county on the eastern side of the State. This cheerful story was related by the Beaumont Enterprise. Notice the cheerfulness with which it is told and mark the closing sentence: might it be said of every county on the easier side of the And the Enterprise might have included the western and northern and southern sides of the State and middle, too. That is the great value of the Marketing Association.

Through it the man who produces anything that will clothe or feed the human race can always find a market where there are prices that will give him a profit on nis products. Here we are feeling the good effects of the Marketing Association. We have shipped hogs and cattle and sheep and while it is yet it has brought satisfactory results and the shippers are murh pleased that they will produce more and consequently ship more. Their neighbors are becoming interested and will fall in line. To do this more feed stuff be raised on which to fatten hogs and cattle and sheep and goats.

And now the Marketing Association is planning to ship cotton and judging from the past it will succeed for all of its undertakings so far have met abundant success. The Marketing Association is the thing. It means organization and it means short it means success. For that reason the farmers of Navarro county and the business men of Corsicana are working in perfect harmony to make the Navarro County Marketing Association the success it deserves to be made.

Thos. D. Love wants the Texas delegation to go to St. Louis instructed for Secretary of War Baker for vice president. Well, if Mr.

Love wants the war political career to come to a sudden end he is seeking to do the thing that will accomplish his purpose. As for the Sun it would prefer to let Mr. Baker have a further try-out before digging his political grave. So far he is doing very nicely and seem at all disposed to fall down on the a big job it is, too. A get-logetner meeting is or always should be in order in any community.

One reason why the farmer is almost always on friendly terms with his entire community is that he meets the people at church rfnd shakes hands with them. He meets them at the school entertainment where he again shakes hands. In the spring and summer he meets them at the picnics and gatherings" where the hand of friendship is again extended. These things keep the people in close touch with each other and on friendly terms In town we go to church, hear the sermon and hasten out of the building fretted because we are crowded in the aisle or maybe some impertinent fellow required that we give up an seat." And how we shake hands. We go to the commencement exercises because it's and come away without smiling on any one.

As for picnics we have them Result: The first thing we know we are so absorbed in business that we have almost ii not entirely forgotten the art of sociability and the last spark of friendship has gone out. We must get out of this. And no longer than yesterday a prominent business man who is of a social and genial disposition suggested a way by which this may be done.

The plan hinges The Marketing Association has been in existence but a very short time, in that time it has met so much success that it feels, strong enough to take hold of and attempt to solve the cotton marketing problem.

The Association has 200 or more members, ail of whom are enthusiastic and it is with that number on its rolls that it has accomplished so much that its real value to the farmer has already been proven. It should have many times more members. In fact it should encompass the entire county and will in time. Photo (right) by American Press Association.

As far as conditions outside of the human element are concerned, we should be in a hotter competitive position after the war than before. We shall have largely increased our wealth, reduced our indebted- noss abroad and perhaps have reversed our position from a debtor to a creditor nation. We shall have much increased our productive capacity in mam lines of manufactures. Interest rates are likely to 1 at least as low in the United States as elsewhere, which has not been the case in the past, and taxes should be lower in view of the fact that the budgets of Europe will be doubted. These definite factors in the situation seem to favor CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT IN THIS COUNTRY AND AN EXPANSION OF OCR TRADE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES.

The vital question is, What effect will the experiences through which they are passing lia'e upon the people of Europe, and what effect will the condition- now prevailing in the United States have upon us? If the experience of Europe gives discipline and mental stimulus to the people, if it awakens new ambition and resolution and develops a new national spirit of devotion and unity, the debts and taxes will not retard their progress And, on the other hand, if our people do not recognize the temporary character of our present prosperity, conserve its benefits to strengthen us in tin- future and adapt ourselves readilv to changing conditions we shall he in a weaker position after the war than we wore before.

Miss Mary Medford and Miss Gwen dolen Tracy, chums, twenty-two and twenty-three years old respectively, both rich in their own right, thought much on the same lines. said Miss Medford, have an idea that progress is the only means to happiness.

We must be constantly going onward and upward. You and I are apparently at the end of our rope and still very young. We have Independent fortunes. If we marry ordinary men we'll be bored through life. Let us go abroad and each marry a kind of a knight, for Instance."

At trfiy rate, the four crossed together, and before they had been out twenty-four hours they were as thick as peas in a pod. The noblemen passed by ordinary names. Elmhurst as Mr. Calkins and Babllttgton being Mr. Strynger.

They did not tell the girls that they were noblemen incog, and the girls did not tell them that they had been Informed eoncerning them. Calkins froze to Mary; Strynger made up to Gwen. The men both declared that if they ever married they would wish to be married for lore. Naturally, after such a statement, the girls would have been very foolish to tell them that they knew them to British peers. Of course it could not be expected that tiie two American girls would snare two such men within the few the knight and marry a baron.

From 0f a voyage, but they came very the baron have to rise to an earl then a duke, and so on till we got a king. But with The two girls sailed for Germany, where every other respectable man is a least a that was not the kind of nobility they wanted. So they went on into France. Here they found it difficult to understand what a title was worth. France being a republic, they see what advantage a count or a duke had over a commoner.

Besides, the old nobility were all either legitimists or Orleanists and the most recent ones, Bonapart- ists. If the sovereign of either won the government the others would be down and out. Our heroines, being practical American girls, bad no use for uncertainties. So they went over into England Britain has always been considered the best preserve In the world for noble game. The law of primogeniture provides for one branch of the family at the expense of the others.

But the prizes were correspondingly few. The scions of some of the oldest blueblood ed titles were or had been married to music hall girls, and this further re duced the American chances Though they had brought letters to families in England and were admitted socially, neither of them saw anything worth purchasing, for really that Is what their Intentions meant After spending several months In England looking over the bargain counters they made up their minds to return to America and take up some fad. Gwen said she would prefer a dog. But what they had been hunting for all over Europe came to them on the steamer coming home. They had met a young woman in England whom they had asked to help them In their near together.

The night before they made the port of New York both couples were on deck sitting close hi dark comers. Calkins told Mary that he wished to give her some memento of the voyage which she had made so happy for him, and she promised to accept a silk umbrella that he had Intended for an American lady friend of his In Boston. Strynger prevailed upon Gwen to accept a box containing a dozen pairs of gloves. In the morning while the vessel was steaming up New York bay the ladies gave the gentlemen their addresses and the gentlemen gave the ladles the mementoes of the trip. When the ship was docked the ladles went down the gangway together and were driven home.

During the ride Mary, while comparing notes with her friend as to the probability of a conquest, was fingering the handle of the umbrella that had been given her. it she said. She twisted it till It came off, and something dropped from it into her lap. Picking it up, she examined It a she exclaimed. From the head of the umbrella that she had removed she poured out a couple of dozen more, gracious, what a gift! worthy of an Gwen at once examined her glove box.

She found nothing but the gloves at the time, but after she got home a further examination revealed a false bottom and more diamonds.
