Go westward wisdom and labor amid Fort Worth notes
A miscellany column from the Fort Worth Record reflects on social musings and local statistics. It cites a San Francisco stenographer pace, a quip about a tree bearing T bone steaks, and humorous lines about P Ros prosperity while noting convict petitions for statewide prohibition in Philadelphia. It includes exchange items on price fixing in potatoes and calls for government control of cotton, plus a humorous royal aside about the prince of England. It also lists Texas military age populations by county and closes with President Wilson and drafting debates.
