The Claiming, Texas, Register has un-
der course OF construction large num-
Der Of air castles which are of stupendu-
Gus height and massive and imposing
appearance. They are all built on the
prospect Of the extension of the Rock
Island southwest from Liberal, which
said road is being built at the rate of sew
eral million miles day by the papers Of
eastern Kansas northern Texas and New
Mexico. The road will probably be
built and have an established train SER
vice before the road officials are aware
1T. 1t would be quite a surprise to
them. Speaking Of the air castles,
though, they look very much like the
same ones that the Hardesty Herald
worked on for several years, but some
how Dick could never get them to stand,
But We understand that Dick has quit
the carpenters trade now, and would
oppose the extension on the ground that
it would work an injury on the cowmen
already here.

The senior Of this office has planted a
garden. We set out cabbage and tomato
plants, and they did well for a day or
two, aud then the cut worms began OPP
erstions on them and consumed them
all. 1t was hard On the plants, but we
now have the nnest patch of fat cuts
worms In the county. The peas, beans,
and other seeds that were planted are
not up yet, bu, we think they will get to
growing in time to save the cutworms
from death by starvation. BY judicious
management and hard work We hope to
be able to keep a supply OF vegetables
growing all summer. which will enable
us to supply the market with the very
choicest and fsttest cutworns all
through the fall season.

money makers in this country, Judge Hutch-

mitigate against the business here-it takes
work. The average deniren would rather
