The St. Louis Live Stock Re
porter comments on the situa-
ton in Texas as follows:
The conflict between the set
tier and the cowman in Western
Texas gets tiercer as the march
of civilization goes Westward,
and the big expanse of prairie
is converted into agricultural
land. OF course, the cattleman
does not like to be elbowed off
land which he has occupied un-
molested for years. TO defeat
the ''nester' many schemes are
resorted to. One is the play for
time to dispose of their cattle,
which they never do; another,
according to a Texas writer, is
as follows: About the time the
leases are to expire a number of
the "cowboys" are given jobs
on the ranch and a kind of Sc
cret bargain struck, to the effect
that the "boys" are to have en-
ployment a specified time if
each will file on four sections
(the limit of land in his own
name, the ranchman footing the
bill, and at the expiration OF
three years, or so soon as the
land is "proven upon," the
''cowboy" to sell to the ranch
man. Thirty "cowboys' can
file on 100 sections Of land, or
76,SOO acres. The ranchman
thus becomes the purchaser,

where ignorance is bliss and
knowledge would be inconti-
nently chased off the earth with
a broken hoe handle.
AS a matter of fact, the cat
tlemen o. Texas are interposing
no impediments in the path of
the honest hester who is trying
to acquire home in the West.
They have occupied the land
for several years under lease
from the State of Texas, and as
these leases expire, they are
surrendering the land back into
the hands of the state, which
has the privilege of selling it to
whomsoever applies for it. If
the state sells the land to those
constitutional pets to whom she
owes a home, and they in turn
choose to sell or lease it to the
cowman, nobody's anatomy is
skinned and there is no reason
for any man to howl.
Cowmen in West Texas are
making no effort to retard the
settlement of the country, and
they are in reality paying no at,
tention to the public land that
is coming on the market upon
the expiration of leases. They
have accepted the situation in
good faith and the contest now
for possession of the land in
question is between rival fac
tlons of nesters, inspired by the
fever of speculation, and in
some instances, with genuine
desire to make home.

about ten times more prolific,

hands of the farmer than in the
hands of the stockman.

which is recognized as author

matters of vital interest to the
ranchman, in commenting on

SCHOOL NOTES.
Edited bv the
County superintendent.

There are three cardinal vir-
tues that the teacher should i'm
press on the public; punctuallty,
department and scholarship.
Make it an honor to be punctual,
an honor to be perfect in deport-
ment, an honor to recite perfect
lessons.
We would like to insist on the
trustees of each school district
meeting at the school houses OF
their respective districts at
least once a month, talk over
the needs of the school with the
teacher, get acquainted with
the scholars and with each 9th
err and establish friendly and
cooperative relations with each
other, with the teacher, and
with the pupils. Don't go to
critisize or to dictate, but to

The FUTURE HOME.M MAKER.
Sound Doctrine For Both
Young and Old.

We do not have it very firmly
impressed upon our minds as we
look at our young people that
they are to be the future home
makers. Will they know how
much it costs to furnish a house
comtortab bly,, and run the same
economically. when they are
old enough to give serious
thought to such things? Do we
as parents give our children the
benefit of our experience?
We hear the cry that young
men nowadays are afraid to
marry on a small salary. Why?
Because, they being ignorant,
are easily frightened by some
ones bug-a boo cry. So many
. of our girls are self-supporting
that we can reasonably suppose
that they understand the value
of a dollar better than though
they had never done anything
toward their support.
Young couples must not ex-
pect to begin where the old
folks left off. Simplicity in
housefurnishing is strongly ad'
vised by our best authorities.
A few articles of good quality,
we'll chosen and we'll cared for,
make a much more pleasing i'm

giving greater pleasure and
peace to the inmates than
house full of cheaper goods and
brio a. brac is a source of much
work and worry in the vain at
tempt to keep everything clean
and orderly. Have a pretty
corner in each room, but do not
overdo it.
A few lessons on the most
wholesome foods, the compara-
tive cost of different articles OF
food, the adaptation of food to
the different temperaments, age
and occupation, are needful.
There is as much science in teed-
ing ourselves as in feeding our
stock, and we are gradually
waking up to that fact. Not
manv of us but what have to de-
pend on our reading for such IN
formation, but it is surprising
how much one will learn OF a
subject if one bears it in mind.
This is an important subject
for really do not both health
and prosperity in the long run
hinge on the care we give our
bodies? Teach the proper care
of the body; cultivate in the
young good judgment as to
what they put into their stom-
achs, and how much. Give a
good. clear understanding OF
business principles and practlc'
es, and you have equipped your
child with something "better
than gold; yea, than much hne
gold.'
There is very apt to be a hard
mil somewhere in every ones
life. and blessed indeed are
those who experience their dark
day early. 1t is much better to to

harmonize and cooperate. But
don't forget that it is the duty
of the trustee to see that the
school is we'll and properly
taught, as much so as to see
that your farm hand does his
work well. You may say that
you are not qualified to Judge Of
good school work. Then your
neighbors were disappointed in
you for they no doubt thought
you were, when they elected
you trustee. But this is the
way to qualify yourself: Get ac-
quainted with school methods,
study and watch their results.
Attend the institutes and asso-
Citations. You can do nothing
perhaps that would render you
more useful in the community
and you will soon learn to enjoy
and appreciate the work. Try
it.
The superintendent is in no
way connected, nor financially
interested in the management
of our county paper, and has
not been requested to solicit
subscriptions therefor; but if
the proprietor sees proper as
matter of kindness to teachers
and the schools to give us the
use of the columns for educa-
,ional purposes, the teachers
of the county can not well do
less than subscribe for the pa
per. We fail to see how any
progressive teacher can get
alnnm with0nt the county m ner
for general reasons, to say
nothing of the considerations
mentioned above.
We had the pleasure last week
of forming the acquaintance OF
Prof. j. e. Koonce, who has fill
ed a contract to finish the term
left vacant by the resignation
of Prof. G.. G.. Foster of the
Canyon school. We are pleased
with the appearance and recon-
of the Professor and
beskeak for him and his room a
pleasant and successful conclu-
sion of the term.
Don't forget the trustees cleo
ton, April 4th. Select your
best material to look after your
schools. This election is i'm
portant, in that, you elect two
trustees "a majority of the
board-to serve two years. The
interest of your schools for the
next two years, depends on your
choice at this election.
What about your school house!
Will it not need painting or

trustees who believe that chill
dren should be as comfortable
