two ways of being happy We may either diminish our wants or augment our will result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and do that which happens to be easiest If you are idle or sick or poor however hard it may be to diminish your wants it will be harder to augment your means If you are active and prosperous or young or in good health it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants But if you are wise you will do both at the same time young or old rich or poor sick or welt and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society Youll LAST CHANCE Poultry and egg day on February 9 will be an important occasion in Bryan county according to It Robbins president of the Bryan county poultry axsociation

Every one interested in poultry raising is urged to attend and take I part hi all these meetings as much valuable information can be obtained With the acquisition of more definite information concerning the hal) its Of growth and fruit development of the cotton plant under the various climatic and season conditions Of the different cotton-growing regions of this country says the United States Department of Agriculture methods of controlling the boll weevil and improved cultural practices can be more intelligently stAied ar1 applied With these objects in view the department conducted experiments during 1923 1924 and 1925 at the Unite States Cotton-Preeding Field Station at Greenville Texas to determine the effect of different dates of planting and different spacings upon the growth and fruit development of cotton plants The results have been published in Department Circular No 401-C "Growth and Development of Cotton Plants at Green ville Texas" The interval between the appearance of successive fruiting branches and that between the appearance of successive squares On fruiting branch es was not materially uffected in the tests by date of planting In the unthinned rows however the intervalsl between the appearance of successive' squares on fruiting branches were longer than in 12 inch spacing of each date of planting The rate of Square production seems to be directly Mated to the twetative vigor Of the plants and not necessarily affected by the advance the season early planted cotton was usually slow in germinating came up to a poor stand and tnany of the plants were injured by sore shin tomosis black at in and plant lice The 41 disorders and pets killed in of the seedlings anti nnowed the others mow only very slovly On the other hand the later plantings entountered more favorable weather eondit ions and therefore germinated rapidly and I ittle affected by disease and aphids The maturation period of bolls was found to vary from 33 days for those set early in the season to about Z15 (lays for late season bolls with no consistent differences between varieties A copy of Department Circular No 401-C giving details of the experiments may be obtained as long as the supply lasts upon application to the Departmentiof Agriculture Wash ington Friends Are Your Wealth Not so very long ago the writer's attention was drawn to an article in a metropolitan newspaper which article had as its subject:" Your friends are your wealth" While the article did not occupy a conspicuous space in the paper it conthined nutny truths Friendships of the sterling type are not common to all folks As a matter of fact they are few and far between even to the high its well as the low It had never occured he writer that friendships were actually Ones walth

brought before them for offieial consideration this an editorial en the subjeet ill the Fremont Tribune the rguatent is made that each year the recurring reunions with their fatigue of travel and entertainment is a severe ra on the remaining strength of the veterans many of whose lives have been cut short thereby Approving the suggestion of Mr Richards the Tribune said: "He proposes in brief that a final grand reunion of all the veterans of the Civil War be arranged and thus mark the final closing of the breach that once threatened the very existence of our nation that the age bowed hosts of the Union and the Confederacy march down historic Pennsylvania Avenue this time join-I ed in a harmony and patriotic broth erhood that will for all time symbolize the lasting unity of our people" While there may be dissenting opinion to us it seems that this would be a wonderful demonstration of patriotism and brotherhood which could not fail to make a lasting and beneficial impression upon

used as the county courthouse of Johnston CO 11 When the so-called "Curtis Act" of June 28 1s98 went into effect in the Indian territory the jurisdiction of all tribal courts was so modified that Ithere was little or no litigation by Indian courts Then it was that Ward laid aside his activities as a lawyer and served his tribe as superintendent of public instruction and as national treasurer of the Chicks saw nation up to near statehood when he acted as clerk of the house of representatives as long as the Chickasaw legislature continued to meet During the intervening years Ward has kept up his study of law with the intention of some day going back into active practice That day has come now and backed by a university education and a life of hard and prac tical expereince he plans to

5wa1 WHOLESALE COST 1 Approval of Premier Mussolini's plan to tax bachelors has been given by the Italian Council of 51inisters the proceeds of the tax to go to the fund for indigent women and orphans The number of bachelors who will be affected by the tax is estimated at 3000000 which includes all between the ages of 25 and 65 From the age of 25 to 45 the tax increases with the age while from 45 to 65 it gradually decreases The plan is not new having been employed in ancient Rome in Sparta Sicily France and possibly elsewhere in the past From a practical standpoint the 'greater income tax exemption granted to married men in the United States is a sort of indirect tax on bachelors Looking at the matter from an unbiased viewpoint it appears that such a tax is justified If the race is to be preserved the women of the world must be provided for In a certain sense the man who goes thru life as a bachelor is a slacker If he is unwilling to face the responsibilities of marriage he ought to pay for his immunity 11 IL I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I I I I I i I i I I I I a i i to I Wash Suits Values to $340 98c Sleepina Garments Values to $200 49c Boys two pant

FEATHERHEADS By Osborne Ionia 0 rwmkt No One Wants War In the midst of all the turmoil in consequence of the administration's foreign policy with respect to Mexico one note sounds clear and strong The American people do not want War However people of the United States may disagree with regard to this or that detail of foreign policy the general demand that some peaceful settlement of our differences With Mexico must be found is too strong to be ignored There would be neither glory nor advantage in a resort to arms because of real or fancied grievances against our southern neighbor While recent laws enacted by Mexico may appear somewhat drastic it must be remembered that they only affect the internal affairs of that country and do not menace either the lives or prop erty of American citizens to an extent to justify armed interference on our part If conditions appear to warrant protests on the part of the United States these should be made through diplomatic channels with an appeal to arbitration if necessary It is reported that both governments have expressed their acceptances of this principle No one wants war and there will be no war 1 KLIoty 51404Ack I IVE RUN
