Tho Austin Statesman gives good advice
in the following;
The people Of Minnesota have resorted to
every imaginable means for supplying the
demand for fuel. During last winter corn
was used by many persons and large num-
Der of firms dealt in 1t as fuel. 1t is now
discovered that the best substitute for wood
10 sunnowers. They grow rapidly and luxu.
riantly, and when dried burn well. A num-
Der Of farmers near Nelsonville planted their
extra land in sunhowers last year and had a
supply Of fuel throughout the winter and
were even able to sell 10 their neighbors.
Next season Minnesota will probably be
turned into an immense sunflower planta-
tion. We can suggest an even better remedy
than this against the cold-immigrstion to
Texas, to climate where billiards. come, II
at all, at long intervals.
The Comanche Chief is indignant and
hardles the seventeenth legislature without
gloves for changing Comanche county from
the 18th to tho 18th judicial district 1t
says
Hardly had our courts recovered from the
ENHANCEMENT into which they had been
involved by the preceding legislature, and
began to work smoothly, with clean
docket and judge elected by the people,
when they are again muddled and thrown
into chaotic state. Without a petition,
prayer or a request, and without the consulta-
ton or knowledge of her people, Comanche
county mas been robbed OF her place In tho
lZlh judicial district and attached TO the tall
end OF the l7th, with Judge and attorney
whom her people have never seen, wished or
voted for In addition to beng treated in
this manner, we are Low to have only two
terms OF court a year, OF only two weeks
eacn, and inc result Will DO an overcrowded
DOCKET and JAIL, and an increased expenditure
10 our county Tor Keeping prisoners. This is
an act winch meets no approval from our
people; IL Is miserable Judiciary system
tnat allows any whimsical legislature to rob
them OF the officers OF their choice and change
Their courts without consulting them.
