' Some are proven; others, semi -proven, and others as yrt more or less prospective, but all in the trend of development. In the famous Mexia Section the company controls. two leases of . 10 acres each, near the Big Desenberg Gusher which sold for 1400,000. The company proposes to drill on one or both of these tracts as soon as possible Altogether, the company has a total of 86 different tracts and it is qurte possible that out of this large number of holdings we may be in the midst of the next hig strike in Texas which would make quick cash dividends possible

, Uncle HARD ON THE POETS , 44 TM SCHEDULED to redte 'AnnaA bel Lee" at an entertainment tonight," confessed the retired merchant *Tve been repeating the poem to myself ' almost constantly for several days, and ta In It but rm In It but rm

afraid that when I stand np to recite, m have forgotten every word of It" "I hope bo," said 1 the hotelkeeper. "8ueh a poem as j | 'Annabel Lee' de- : I aeryes better I treatment than !

If you'd stand up and recite a ' few pages from a mall-order catalogue I have no doubt you'd put toe proper . feeling Into It and move your and!- | enee to tears, but lfs a crime far a man like yon to mangle a beautiful poem, full of sentiment and melody. "There ought' to be a law against i tost sort of thing. Some of the best poems In the country have been ruined , by common or garden elocutionists. Nowadays people smile when you mentlofi 'Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight' It has been recited so much 1 by people with cracked voices that it : has become a Joke. Yet If you examine the poem calmly and Impartially you will find that It has a great deal ' of merit | "In the schools the pupils are permitted to recite some of our best poems, and the poems aren't fit for anything after It The school author- , ities should prohibit this sort of thing, nnd prepare a volume of cheap asbes- i tos poetry that Is fool proof, that can't be Injured, ho matter what you do to It There Is plenty of punk poetry In the world, and a collection of this stuff would serve the schoolboy elocutionists Just as well as the high i class poetry that Is so easily spoiled. ' "When I went to school about a ' hundred years ago, there was a tall 1 freckled, gangling boy, who talked ' through his nose, with a sort of whine 1 ; that sounded like filing a saw. There 1 was to be a school entertainment and ' this boy was down for a recitation. ' The teacher never asked him what he was going to recite, but gave him toe ■ right of way. Teachers continue to make the same mistake, even as we go to press. They should chooee the poems which are to be butchered to ^ make a Roman holiday and select something that won't rip, ravel or rnn I down at the heel. "This boy stood up before the school ( | and droned through Gray's 'Elegy.' , j Now, that's one of the best rhymes i , i ever composed. It was written by a f ■ Journeyman poet who put In seven j I years at it In the time when they had J | ten-hour days. He wanted to leave ! , behind him a poem that would stand | ; j the severest tests of toe government I Inspectors, and he did. In ray opinion , ] there Is nothing better In any Ian- j . .gnage. It Is rather melancholy, but it ] j has a sort of doggone soothing qual- • that la a b«lm to the bruised spirit j ; of a landlord when lie finds that the , , j receipts of his hotel don't equal the j , expenses. I r j "Time and agnln, when .discouraged i r j end played out, I have started to read i that poem, and as soon as 1 get fair- j < I Into It, I seem to see that blamed I 1 gangling schoolboy. In his high-water ! ' garments, and hear him droning j 1 I through those verses, making a noise j 1 like a sawmill on a wet day. It's ; l than forty years since he made , violent assault upon the Elegy, but 1 It seems like yesterday. It's the same way with Hamlet's 'Soliloquy.' Every 1 time I hear or see that gem I think of : r a fat youth who recited It In our | ' school and then I burst Into teare. r j "There's no sense In such a bnslness, and congress ought to do Be me- 1 thing, doggone it" 1 Freak of Acoustlea. t In the whispering gallery of St 0 cathedral In London the faint- * I est sound is faithfully conveyed from j s | side of the dome to the other, but i can not be heard at any Intermediate ' ® point Accounting for the Blue.

TARIFF REDUCES FARM MARKETS With Factories Closed Consumers Caiuwt Purchase. CUBA WAS A BIB BUYE)| Cannot Expert Produce Unlets OtJM* Countries Can Sell Ua. By H. E. MILES, Chairman of tha Fair Tariff ' rriaq. In a small town In an agricultural section of toe United 8tates, art m from the Canadian border, there Ur h glove factory. This concern has bem tor years selling a large part of £ product annually in Canada. OApress In toe Emergency Tariff A at placqd on goods Imported from Can>£ a tariff so high that It made It unprofiT i Rble for toe Canadians longer to agff their goods In the American markrt. The small town glove factory, amuam many others, lost its Canadian a* | ket and had to shut down. • ' It is an economic law that a nation buys where It sens. It .must do tbh in order to have money to pay lis bills In the country where toe MSBare contracted. Canada being unable to gel' key good a In tola country was forced to sell her surplus elsewhere. Natumnl then, she supplied her needs In rttajr markets. But this particular gh>v» factory la Important because of l»j effect on the prosperity of the neartff farmers. The plight of this factory ku» ample of how the prosperity of eveiT (merest In tola co-.mtry Is depevieot upon toe prosperity of p radically every other Interest This glove fsdei^ Is the mainstay of toe town. Pra6tlfally all the wage earners work there. When their means of livelihood was cut off their ability to purchase' was gone. The smaller fanners who had a ready market at their very doors tar their butter and eggs and other 'tank products found It necessary to seejt other end less satisfactory market^ . nut of town. But when they got mff Into the world market they found that something was happening. I Everything they tried to sell was sold I at a greatly reduced price, but everyI ihlng that they attempted to huy thqy I found was reduced only slightly ta price or not reduced at all. The Farmer Whlpeawed Many complicated factors enter ln(p a situation of this kind, but one of the most Important fartors Is the tariff. $• shown In a previous article thai In at least two commodities, those of <sugar and wool the tariff protectta|> accorded by the increased rates on these two commodities does not reset the farmer, but stops with and eta riches the manufacturer. There Is a chemical plqnt In the state of New Jersey which makes a fltatlllzer product for the Cuban market. Cuba's sugar Industry has been practically mined by a 60 per cent Increa^ tn the tariff on raw sugar. Cuba In unable to buy the product 'of thl.> chemical factory. One thousand men am I out of work. The fhmlllbs of thiVe ; one thousand men would use at least ■ thousand dozen of eggs a week aid I less than a thousand pounds of j butter and certainly not less ttran I three thousand pounds of meat, all I products of the American farmer. But In the case of Cnba there tp even 1 a more direct loss of market to the ; farmer. | A glance at the trade reports strews that < \iha Is one of the American j farmer's in--st important customers, b | 1921" Cuba purchased of us more" th*» j .Vl'per 'en! of all our exports of boga. j potatoes, beans and onions. She ranV [ ed second :iim-ng the nations k» the purchase of onr cattle, horses, mnlee. | pickled pork, sausage other than mis j ned. poultry, cheese sweetened cue dense.! milk, eoeoe .mil prepared c-hoecv I and corn. She ranked lldr.rin the • purchase of liams and aluHildere, jot* i.tlaneous canned meat product I ami dour. Cuba bought from u< during, ' 1!1!9 and 1920 over >85.000.000 worth i of truck gardening and farm products. ' over S6.flO9.0O0 worth of live idodk • •vor $15,000,000 worth of dairy' prod nets, over SOO.OOO.OOO worth of .ment products, over $63,000,000 wogtb "of I cotton cloth and over $30.000.<ttt0 wflrfh of manufactures of cotton. Farmer Needs Cuban Market j It Is pretty evident, then, that Jke American fanner needs his Cuban rtmr ket. It Is further quite clear that If this enonnons quantity of surpltw ugri cultural poods were dumped on the home market his prices would stum? still more. ! Now, where does Cnha pet theiponcv | with which to purchase our po^dfo? The answer Is "sugar." Cuba prdduees i enormous crop Is the mainstay of Cu ban prosperity. If it fails her. she must go bankrupt. Abo.it otic-half of lu-r output of sugar she sells In the Uelted If an increased tariff makes It ha p<«slbie for Cuba to sell her sugar la this country her power to buy goods here Is going to he cut off. We sold Cuba $515,000,000 wcrfh af goods In 1920. and a larpc part */ sales were manufactured prodAs In the case of the little town that was dependent upon the glove factory Its existence and could not buy Its supplies from the surrounding farmer* when the factory shut down, so In general, if American mannfniturers are 8erioualy Injured by losing much an Important market as Cuba, It Is going Id curtail the wages paid to labor and jn will curtail toe farmer* domceOr market "
