Shall We Proclaim Our Lineage7
Editor Leader Modern civilization
and intelligence is fast breaking the
dogmauc chains when were welded
for us by our fathers, yet we hear the
wall of anguish that rises from the
lips OF great concourse Of people
who yet believe in Salvation by
Faith"
Strong men are stil trafficking in
the fears ani superstitions Of past
apcs while they close their eyes to all
the possibilities of the future and bar
,er away their bir,hright of liberty
and manhood for a miserable mess of
poitage, and this they call preaching
the gospel is it not sad to see so
many people who might have been
useful instruments in the eternal
progression of the human race, who
might have brought sunshine and Joy
into the hearts Of men, and who could
have lived a life that would have
made the world brighter and humani-
ity better barter these grand privi-
leges, and pin their eternal usefulness
/ to that OLD rock callel the church, up
on which humanity has been dashed
I but to mark a wreck as dark and grue-
some as can be woven from the i'm
agination of the human mind. Can
not the human specter from the
charred ruins of the past beckon men
and women on to q nobler life in
! boundless freedom of mind, body and
soul? VIII the intelligence of Guthrie
close their eyes to all the possibilities
of The future, and listen respectfully
to the teaching of one who only last
Sunday proclaimed from the pulpit
that he couli not support the doctrine
Of evolution because he did not be-
leve that the human race came up
through every specie of the animal
kingdom although from the appear
ance of some people a person would
believe that they retained a little more
Of the dog, hog and donkey than the
ordinary individual.
Sublime confession of divine ignor
ance and lineal descent from the elo
Quent preacher whose sermon is re
corded in Numbers 22:3O. DO you
wonder that this same preacher pro
fesses faith in the immaculate concep
tiou of Jesus? Can not you now un
derstand why he followed the above
statement with the thought that mod
ern civilization is due 10 the influence
of the church? Yours respec fully,

are preparing to plant 200 acres
in cotton just south of town be-
sides Others who say they will
plant some, but not caring to
say how much.
"When much Of the afternoon
had been taken up in the various
lines of work the convention
voted to go into permanent or.
ganization and the following
committee was appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws:
Judge G. G. Witherspoon, chair
man; w. B. Green, G. r.. lowell,
H. Fl. Stanley and G. II Carl.
"The conyention then adjourn
ed to meet again at the court

ed to confer with the business
men of Hereford in soliciting
their aid in procuring seed.
"After the cotton question
was settled, the attention of the
convention was turned to the
wheat situation. The opinion
seemed to prevail that hard
wheat sown in the spring would
be prefera ble to fall sowing of
soft wheat. Mr.. Tabor, repre-.
senting the Chilicothe Touring
mills, was present and rendered
the farmers his services in Sc
curing what hard wheat theV
might want for spring sowing.
"'rhe last subject to receive
consideration at the hands of
the convention was a report
from G.. r. lowell to the effect
that the we'll near the stock pens
had been completed and that
he had a communication from
Hallam & Burrus of Roswell,
n. NJ, agents for the deep well
pump, stating that they were
ready and anxious to make
free test of our water supply,
provided that if it proved suffi-
cient for irrigation purposes and
the pump did its work as repre-
sented, the citizens would signi-
fly their intention of buying the
outfit. The question was left
for future consideration and
those present obligated them,
selves to plant the number of
acres opposite their names as
follows:

500 ACRES WILL Be PLANTED

From the last issue of "The
Brand" we clip the following
account of Hereford's progress
toward the raising of cotton and
wheat on the plains:
"The house was called to or.
der by W. H. Rayzor, who acted
as chairman, and able talks
were made by men Of years of
experience in producing those
crops which as yet have not
been thoroughly proven here,
viz: cotton and wheat. Cotton
was the first of these to receive
consideration and it was the
concensus of opinion that, with
precaution in selecting the seed
and proper cultivation, this
staple would be "a success.
"The work OF procuring seed
was left to committee Compos-
ed of W. II. Rayzor, chairman;
j. M. Sypert, and o. M. Daniel.
The purpose of this committee
is to investigate the seeds used
in the cotton districts Of Okla
homa and other sections whose
seasons are similar to our own.
1t was thought best by those
present to go as far north as
possible for seed to plant. Since
the cost of shipping would be
considerable, a committee COM
posed of Judge Cough, A. j.
Lipscomb and D. r. Gass was
asked to use its influence with
railroads in securing free trans
portation for what seed the
farmers would need this year.
A third committee, composed of
B. A. Kcithley, G.. A, Hughes
and W. F. Stimson was appoint

The Full Page Advertise
ment.

We meyer gaze upon a full
page advertisement but what it
reminds us that the advertiser
is a hustler. No man will invest
in full page advertisement for
the sake of giving the printer a
boom-not on your life. He
means business and those who
observe tiud that he gets it.
These are fast days and the bust
ness man who fills his store with
goods and then sits down and
fans himself will find both dust
and cobwebs on his goods before
they are disposed Of. Nor is
the 'well known man" in it.
Being well known will not get
business while a hustling stran-
ger is covering the country with
advertising and filling the col.
umns of the local paper of the
advantages he has for custo
mers. The old fogy days have
fled and the man who undertakes
to do business on that plan in
the field of sharp competition is
a back number in its fullest
sense.-New World.

ABOUT BATH ROOMS.

II Is amazing how the average arch
itcct avoids planning for more than
one bathroom in the moderate sized
house, says the Northwest Hortlcul-
turist. He might be herald OF
health and comfort to many a family.
lie could so easily suggest emitting
the "parlor' and putting in three or
four bath rooms instead. And every
family who could be persuaded to
this would sooner or later rise ~ and
call him blessed.
or vital things in the house few are
so vital as sufficient bath rooms. But
one CT two bathrooms are thought suf-
iicient for all but the rich, while many
very ordinary homes have two parlors
and living room or library. Surely,
extra bath rooms might take the place
OF the former by substituting very
small reception room.
This is chiefly due to the frightful
conventionalism of womankind.
"Whatever is must be-" now and for.
ever more, is the ideal of the average
home maker, and the architect must
live down to the level Of his client If he
live at all.

of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
speaks ex cathedra he is usually to bo
taken literally. He rarely jokes or in.
dulges in any verbal pleasantly when

In an after dinner speech or public
address, however, he has fund of
qslet humor which he draws upon. Re.
Gently he was down for an address OF
welcome before the Congress of Deaf
and Dumb, held at the Worlds Fair.
Usually punctual, he was a few mo-
ments late, and by way Of preface to
his address, he apologized for his tardi-
ness, giving a humorous explanation
which was interpreted to his audience
in the sign language by an instructor
who stood on the platform.
When reached the door," said Mr..
Stevens, II was stopped by Jeffer-
son guard, who told me that no one
was admitted except deaf and dumb
persons. l told him that was deaf
and dumb and had right 10 enter.

QUARTERS FOR THE SWINE.

Where the keeping OF swine Is made
something of speciality Oh the farm
there should be warm, comfortable
quarters for them in cJld weather. II
the barn stable is large enough, pens
may be put In for the brood SOW and
pigs, as well as for those that are old
or and which IL is desirable TO keep
thrifty and growing. Housed In this
way there should he little difference
in the growing and fattcning of pigs
in cold or warm weather, because the
conditions are so nearly alike.
If the pens are on one side OF the
large stable, away from the cows. and
the pigs are properly bedded and cared
for, with sufficient ventilation, there
should be little or no trouble on ac-
count of proximity to bad air. Thus,
favorably situated, they will respond
TO good treatment and please the own
or with the returns made for his fore
sight and care.
ON the contrary, swine kept in cold,
comfortless quarters can hardly be cx.
pectcd to prove profitable.

Lost His Bearings In Prayer.

A Southern doctor of divinity In
New York on his vacation was speak
ing OF unusual prayers he had heard.
One was made by young lawyer who,
through innate piety or from a desire
to advance his political fortunes by
being identified with the church, be-
sought the preacher to call on him for
prayer in the weekly prayer meeting.
Suspecting that politics and not piety
was at the bottom OF the lawyers de-
sire to pray In public, the preach er
did not call him until one rainy night,
when the attendance was slim. Then
Brother II. being asked to lead In
prayer" began his application. In
great detail he mentioned the various
situations, personal and general, in
which the divine guidance was de-
sired. Finally, however. he hesitated,
as II ne had forgotten anything else
to say. He showed signs of confu-
sion, and then. in despairing tone of
voice, continued: in conclusion,
your honor. ! might mention many
other things. but these will sufiice for
tonight. Amen."-Mobile (Ala.) Reg

Econ omIzlng Vital Force.

AS a result OF careful study and
many exhaustive experiments the
writer is convinced that the average
man or woman uses up In the per-
formance of ordinary everyday acts
from three to fifteen times the amount
of vital force necessary. The vitality
so wasted is in many cases sufficient TO
make all the difference between
weakness and strength, between weak
ness and health or between failure
and success.
The ways in which vitality Is wasted
are many and various. We need con-
slider but two-incorrect posture of the
body and excessive muscular action.
Another, and most far-reaching factor
in nervous vital waste is lack OF con-
troll of the emotions. A bent body Is
strained by It's own weight-so we
find that among people having such
bodies the mere act OF holding up the
body in standing, walking and
moving about requires from four to
ten times as much vital outlay as the
straight body.-Dr. w. r. G. Latson
