that he had frequently invited Col.

this respect. His remarks were to
the point and well received.

Just little before"
Our first stop was made at
the Gilleland school house where
we found Sunday school going
on and a congregation rather
over the capacity of the build
ing. 1t needs charging to even
meet the needs of the communi-
ty at the present time. This,
the intelligence and public spir-
it of the neighborhood guaran-
tee, and at no distant date. After
an excellent sermon by Pro.
Stephens, he and his company,
this scribe, and Mr.. and Mrs.
j. NJ. Craig accepted a cordial
invitation to dine with Bro.
Jerome Baird. At this hospita-
BILE home we had feast of good
things including strictly home
grown caters" beans, onions
and cherry pie-the chickens,
so Mrs. Baird said, wont be
ripe until camp.meeting begins
next August. After a pleasant
hour or so spent with these ex'
cellent people our said Metho-
dist parson and his said COM
pany started for the next place,
Lakeview, and on the road
there it rained. 1t was not a
sprinkle or a gentle rain but a
regular chip floa ter and we were
glad to reach the friendly shell
ter of Mr.. Craig's home until it
was over. 1t came from the
southwest and extended toward
town to about one mile this side
of Lee Vansant's. When the
rain ceased we walked, or rather
waded, over to Lakeview where
Bro. Stephens delivered anoth.
err fine sermon to a fair sized
congregation and at it's conclu-
sion we returned home having
spent delightful and profita-
BILE Sabbath day-such at least
is the experience of the writer.

Protect the Boys.

There are number of small
boys roaming the streets and
back alleys of Amarillo that
need attention, and need it bad.
The first thing their parents
know, these boys will be before
our courts for violations of law.
The record shows that bows
permitted to loaf around town
in this manner, without any re-
straint on the part of their paw
rents, invariably land in the
penitentiary. Give these bows
something to do and bust the
seat OF their pants if they fail to
do 1t. 1t takes employment to
make men out of boys.-Ama
rillo Champion.
What the Champion says of
Tue ooy problem IN Amarillo Is
equally applicable to most all
Texas towns-Canyon City not
excepted. A notorious outlaw
once made brief speech on the
scatfold, .as follows: INV
friends, take me as mark; keep
your children off the street, and
above all out of the saloons.
Bad raising and bad company is
the direct cause of my down
fall" This confession was
made by Harry D. Egbert, in
Salem, Oregon. Parents, save
the boys.

The Fair and immigration

In the way of exhibits at the
Worlds Fair showing what
mother earth produces, the
great Southwest leads all. This
cannot fail Of getting the atten-
tion Of an excellent class of citi-
zens whose homes at present are
in the states sof the North and
East. The natural outcome of
this will Of course be an immi-
grafton coming this way.
Texas is justly entitled to
big share OF this influx of new
citizens and awakening to this
fact she is entering her bids. by
making her exhibits at the Fair
worthy of her size, her variety
of climate, and her all told tre-
mendous resources.
1t is too early now, perhaps,
but later on we trust that the
Panhandle will show to World S
Fair visitors what she has to
offer in the way of inducement
for immigration. The News
hopes and believes that our peo-
pie will see this great oppor-
tunity in its proper light and
grasp it while it may be had.
