themselves. And everybody in one of th>se small portions of Hie earth shouid feel akin, and should work together t o ' make their particular coun'y do its best in the great state and national program of production.

As we have suggested mi varimis o t t e r occasions, every couiUy in the who!:j United States is a little na­tion unto itself, with all its agrieul-tura , educational, industrial and

an imaginary dream. It is a possi­bility. I t can be done. Why should the mother^ not organize for the welfare and protection of the home and the child the same as men shtmld organize for the protection and promr-Hnn of business? Men organize when they want to work together for better crops, for better cattle, for belter markets, for better roads. Wliv should not the women

commercial problems to solve with- n f V,mi* <*'">nnfy organize for better in iiself. AUJI if the people within homes, for a happier motherhood, your county do not work out. their f«»i' ™"™ efficient schools for their own salvation and their own prob- children, and for a higher grade of lem„ they will not only lose the vie- entertainment for the whole rom-tory of having conquered their own nmnify. Von can do all these things tliftVulties but they will lose the if >"«" wH gef together and let the development that comes in honest. People know that- you know what

If you don t who will? Every­body else has enough to do to build up their own county. If yours is not being built up who is to blame-? Whose business i§ it Don't lay it all onto the other fellow. If i f s your county, it is your business to belp make it the best county in the sfate.

In Texas alone there a re 251 coun­ties. Wtiat would it mean to Texas if there were a county commercial club in every county to study the interests of every man in that coun­ty and to plan ways to work togeth­er for the mutual success of every man in that county? Do you sup­pose there i* a single county in the state that is measuring up to 100 per cent of its possibilities?

Firs t of all we mean in produc­tion. It is the producer that must take the initial step to keep all the wheels of industry and business turning. Let the producer of raw materials, it matters not what they mav be. fall and everybody else is against a stone wall. Then why in the name of common sense should not everybody in the state and na­tion be interested in the success of the producer? Why should not ev-erbody be interested in the institu-tion* that .will help him to be a bet-tec producer? "The whole world is dependent on the producer for fond

and clothing and shelter and em-j"--™ f u s o l v o t n o n » - W h a ( , ] l ) y n n

Have you thought about the heating

part of your home. Let the Estate

Heatrolo solve the problem for you. Come in and let us show it to you

and how it works. It is just like part

of your furniture, as well as a heat­

ing plant. "The Parlor Furnace"

*AAXLL HEATKOL

Here is the Solution of Your Heating IProblem

ESTATE Heatrola—a practical warm-ai r furnace, finished in grained mahogony enamel and r e ­sembling a handsome cabinet phonograph. Thousands are in use. Back of them is The Es ­tate Stove Company, with over 77 year? o ' experi­ence in building heating appliances for t i e home.

Results are amzing. The owner (or renter) of a small home is now offered all the advantages «">f wrarm air heating at low cost.

Supplants Stoves and Fireplaces

Installed in one of the living rooms, the Heatrola keepg the whole house warm.

It heats 3 to 6 connecting rooms (8.000 cu. ft., by actual scientific measurements) bettor than the ordinary stove heats one.

When we say BETTER we mean mor? uniformly, more economically and more healthfully. That 's because the Hatrola works on exactly the same principle as a high-grade pipeless furnace—by

ssae

urphy-Walker THE STORE OF QUALITY

circulating warm, moist air—not by radiating dry, heat, as does the ordinary stove.

The New-Day Way of Heating Small Homes Wi th

or Without Basements

ESTATE Heatrola burns any kind of coal—hard or soft, lignite or slack. It is equipped with an enameled ash pan—large enough to hold a full

twenty-four hour accumulation of ashes.

No pipjes are necessary to carry the warm air through the rooms. No radiators—no registers— are needed. Air, taken into the Heatrola through the slotted openings at the bottom, is heated and sterilized, moistened, then discharged through the top in sufficient volume and with sufficient veloc­ity to fill the whole house.

Estate Heatrola is the only heating appliance,out-side of a basement warm-ai r furnace, which p r o ­vides an effective means of moistening the air we breathe in our homes. And this is essential t o ihQ healfhfulness of a heating system.

The beautiful mahogony finish of 1*ie Heatrola is a vitreous enamel—hard and smooth as glass, and practically everlasting. I t is grained to look like rarie old mahogony. You can rub it and du s t it with a cloth, .just as you do your furniture. No cast iron par ts to black; no nickel to polish. Remember, please, there is only one Heatrola. and that is the Estate Heatrola. made by The Estate Stove Company, of Hamilton, Ohio.

The report of the acreage and condition of the Texas cotton crop up to September i^U wa s compiled by R. E.

The report shows' great damage fo the crop caused mostly by drouth, during the last thirty davs.

In giving out the report Mr. Ter­rell >aid:

"This report covers 103 counties practically all the cotton producing counties, with from one to fifteen reports from each county. The re­ports received are from Presidents and Secretaries of Farmer^ Insti­tutes. County Farm Demonstration Agents, County Commissioners, bankers, merchants and individual farmers, and verified as far as pos­sible, by our field men. The drouth seems to be the cause of the great­est damage, as a large per cent of the cotton was late, especially in the western and northwestern par's of the state and in the flooded dis­tricts, and had no mature.bolls when the drouth set in. Damage by boll weevil and leaf worm was also re­ported. The report indicates a con-

i difion of 58.67*7r. and a vield of one-j fifth of a bale per acre, while our report .for August 1st indicated a condition of 719r and a yield slight-] ]v mure than one-fourth of a bale per acre. f

"DON'T TELL EVERYTHING"

QUEEN THEATRE

WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY

The Dead Letter Office has been in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Even then" people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel Smithers, "Atlantic Coastv" and ex­pected Ben to know just where Zeke lived. I

Perhaps they had Zeke'* address in letters up in the garret, maybe a chest full of 'em, but then it WHS easier to let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith, New j York, N. Y., or Chicago, III., thinking j Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is I just as incomplete as was Zeke's ad- l

dress of yore. The Postcffice Depart-'{ merit asks you to put the number and t street in the address. It helps you.
