But, says Will, "Give me Cass county to live in. I was glad that I went to see the country and liked the trip fine, but would not give much to take it the second time. Just a Good Newspaper The Journal is not sensational; it does not lay claim to being witty. But there is one thing it does boast of and that is being a good "news' paper. If you read it in the Journal, you can depend on it that it actually did happen and in the earns manner as chronicled. With weekly news departments representing seven of it. - 1 1 A. x y - vlXuTJ board -proceedings, court house tvc-'PW ord and all imncrtant ne-f. it is paper -rell Jworth reading. Withal, the subscription price is no greater than you pay for any country week ly in the state with its patent print and limited amount of local and county seat news.' And the best part of it all is it reaches its readers twice each week, instead of once. If you want a good newspaper hand your subscription to the field representa- ' tive or mail it direct to the office, and you will be assured of fifty-two weeks of reliable reading. .

Harvesting of apples will not start until abort the midd'e of September, however, but the yield is expected to be from CO tc 70 per rent of normal. Because of this light crop the size is expected to be unusually good and the price correspondingly higher. The grape harvest is tT?e heaviest ever known in this section. Produc tion was light last year, permitting plants io make a good cane growth with favorable weather conditionr this year. Brownville will ship about HO carloads of grapes during the week. The peach crop, although small in acreage, is the best in many years. From 1914 to 192 there was not a poach season, with the result that many trees were allowed to die. This year R. A.

It furnishes employment to about 1,500,000 people. It is owned by 1,500,000 stock holders, bond holders and royalty owners. Its products furnish to American railroads more than one-sixth of all the tonnage of manufactured articles which they transport. Of the 800,000,000 horsepower of mechanical power used in Our Coun try, more than half is produced from petroleum. More than 70 per cent of the en-, tire petroleum industry of the world is in the United States In addition to furnishing fuel to over 24,000,000 vehicles, this indus try makes a larger contribution to the nation's annual export of man- uiactured products than any otner . .... . . - 1111 industry, thereby communing ninrn i no n n n r at h or rrriin r . f tm nil- factures to maintain the country's trade balance.
