STRANGE, INDEED!
A real philosopher is the editor
of the Longview (Texas) Times.
“It is strange,” %e says, “that a
newspaper man should be com¬
pelled to solicit advertising or give
arguments for its use. Funny,
isn’t it, that a man who ehinks he
is a business' man will get up in the
morning from an advertised mat
ress, shave himself with an adver¬
tised razor, using advertised shav¬
ing soap, take off his advertised pa¬
jamas and put on advertised under-1
wear, advertised hose, shirt, tie
and an advertised suit, seat himself
at the table, and eat advertised cof¬
fee or substitute, put on an adver¬
tised hat, light an advertised cigar,
go to his place of business, where
he tnrns down the advertising so¬
licitor or salesman on the ground
that advertising doesn’t pay,”—Ex 1

Urges Citizens To
TaKe Horae Paper.
Clarence Poe, Editor of The Progressive
Farmer, Offers the Following Advice
To Citizens of Every Community.
First of all take your county
paper, then yoid* trade paper, and
then sucli magazines, church papers
and political papers as you wish.
In spite of the fact that t edit a
farm pader, you will see that I put
the county paper first. 1 do this
because a man’s first great need to
fyf in toucli with his immediate en¬
vironment. He cannot do the work
of a good citizen unless he is in
touch with affair, movements, and
if the county paper is not what it
ought to he, subreribe for it any¬
way, send it items showing neigh¬
borhood progress and improve¬
ments, and help the editor get
aroused about all these matters that
are needed for the betterment of
your section and county as a whole.
Wholesale Murder.
At least one hundred citizens lost
their lives during the holiday seas¬
on directly as a result of drinking
wood alcohol which has been dis¬
pensed as whiskey.
Probably several times that many
are suffering from wood alcohol
poisoning some of whom will die,
many others will be permanently
blinded, and the remainder will
suffer either impaired eyesight or
other detrimental effects.
It is impossible to obtain an ac¬
curate appraisal of the damage that
was actually done.
But the figures and estimates as
they stand, even if not augmented
by future developments, from a
ghastly aftermath of a nation’s
Christmas celebration !
It is wholesale murder, and
every who had a hand in it is guilty
of murder of a heinous type.
The misery it has cost—the phy?
ical and mental anguish, the brok¬
hearts, the blasted hopes, and
all that—can never be even approx¬
imated; for there is no standaed by
which those things can be apprais¬
Constitution.
Let the Women Alone.
Innumerable well meaning peo¬
ple throughout the country are tak¬
ing the women to task for their
varties in dress.
They point to the fact that the
modern dress expose a few inches
of femine charms, and they are as
,1 conesquence the prompt demor¬
alization of the world.
But why all this hubbub over
what a woman wears.
Is her form one of which she
¥
should be ashamed? ask the men!
Eve was grabed in flowing hair
and a fig and yet Adam appears
not to have been disturbed at this
tact. She was Eve and that was suf¬
ficient for him.
She represnted the most beautiful
thing in all the world to him —and
from the days of Adam the verdict
of man has not changed.
The artist sees nothing immodest
in the women who poses for him
because it is art.
The savage respects the woman
who is clothed only from the waist
to the knee because it is the custom
of his country - and custom makes
right. ,

FURNITURE SALE
in the true sense of the word when you consider
the fact that we are selling furniture for less than m
factory prices in car load lots.
Sinee the first of January every furniture fuctory in the United
Stutes that we know of have advanced their prices from 20 to 50 percent
Ouj stock bought on last year’s market and some years before last
has been extremely large, but is growing less each business day. We
do not advance our prices with the market; if we did we would be get¬
ting double. We sell the goods at the price they were bought to sell at
regardless of the market, and we are frank to tell you that you can buy
the same furniture here for less.
We pass this information to you in order to give you a chance to
buy now and protect yourself against the tremendous advance which
you will have to pay on all shipments coming from the factory.
Yesterday is gone ; today is short; tomorrow may never come. Get
furniture while getting is possible and at a great saving in price.
