BANQUET AT Y. M. c. A.
Business Mems Gymnasium Class
 Rendered a Supper.

The members, of the Business Mems Gymnasium Glass of the Y. M. c. A. were rendered g. banquet last night by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
 For the past two months the class has been having a series of indoor baseball contests and the banquet last night marked the close of the last series, The two teams are explained by J. l.. Hollo- way and Hartweil Douglass. Twenty members of the two teams were pres ent at the banquet and thoroughly en- joyed the delightful repast. Toasts were responded to by Messrs. Holloway, Douglass, B. A. Taylor and L.. h. Dix.
 The Business Mems Class is now one of the largest and is certainly the most enthusiastic With 8 total membership of twenty-four, eighteen to twenty are present each night, and the games of ball are always intensely exciting. As a tonic for tired nerves and an antidote for the wear and tear of the life of the office and store the gymnasium can hardly be beat. An increasing number of the prominent business men of the city are realizing that fact and taking advantage of the splendid oppoPtunity offered by the Young Mep's Christian As sociation.

COMPANIES COMBINE
MONTGOMERY MANUFACTURE
 FRS OF ICE CONSOLIDATE.
Woolfolk Company Merged Into Ice and Cold Storage Company-Price of Frozen Commodity Will
 Not Be Advanced.

A $i0ooo mortgage filed in the Probate Court Of Montgomery County yesterday by the Montgomery Ice and Cold Storage Company in favor of the Woolfolk Ice Co, two companies which have for a number of years been rivals for the domestic trade of Montgomery.
 The Montgomery Ice and Cold Storage Co. assumes the ownership of the Wool folk Ice Co. its plant and properties. The Wo0lfolk Ice Company, however. re- tntns a $l0,OO0 mortgage on its former plant to insure the payment of two 5000 iSos. nSss'- que ~AFe" J. i'O'' an" ~arch j.
 Robert woolfolk. President of the Woolfolk Ice Company, is an extensive l stakeholder in the combined company. lie,
 The Woolfolk plant. located in West End, has a daily capacity of thirty tons. The plant of the Montgomery Ice and Cold Storage Company located In North Montgomery, has capacity of no tons a day
 E. Burnett, Vice President of the com bined company. said yesterday that the combine was, made simply as business proposition and the price of ice would unless something intervened, remain ai its present figure, cents a hundred pounds for the domestic trade and 2S cents hundred to the restaurant and saloon trade,
 In his opinion the plant of the Mont Gomery Ice and Cold Storage Company has a capacity sufficient to supply the present demand. The Woolfolk plant will undergo extensive repairs until the hot season opens, when, if necessary. it viii again be used.
 The combined company will do business as the Montgomery Ice and Cold Storage Co. The officers of the old company will not be changed by the combine.
 ''I want it understood" said Mir. Ben- nett, that this combination does not mean an ice trust in Montgomery. Be- fore the combination the ice companies pulled together. Ice companies have to pull together to make money Outstanding tickets of the Woolfolh Company will be honored by the com. bined company.

THOSE NEW SCHEDULES
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN RAIL
 ROAD TRAINS TOMORROW. { <
Travellers to West Alabama Will Not Have to Stop Over in Selma. Take Breakfast at
 0pelika.

Beginning tomorrow morning there will be some important changes in the pas sanger train schedules of the Louisville and Nashville and the Western Railroad
 Some days ago The Advertiser announce Cd the inauguration of the accommodation train between Montgomery and Birming- ham, the first train to leave Montgom- egy at o'clock tomorrow morning and the arst one to arrive ct 7:56 o'clock to- merrow night. In addition to these changes the Western Railroad will make q change in the departure of the morn lag train for Selma, which will leave Montgomery at 7:30 o'clock instead of 8.30 a. m.
 The Southern Railway has recently put on q train leaving Selma at Ii o'clock in the morning for Meridian, and the object of the Westerns schedule change is to catch this connection in Selma. Train No. 6 now leaving Montgomery at S:30 a. m. is due in Selma at 10:3S a. n. and when on time 1t connects with the Southern train. Train No. 43, how ever, is local freight as well as a pas senger train and reaches Selma any time from Ii to i2 o'clock By sending this train out of Montgomery one hour earlier the Western officials figure on making the connection all right and giving the tfaln &n hour longer Tn which to do it's local work between here and Selma.
 To reach the ponits along the line of the Southern Railway west of Selma a pas eengsr from Montgomery has heretofore been forced to spend the day in Selma, getting out of there In the afternoon. Under the new arrangement there will be no stopover, direct connection being made in Selma.
 Another change that will be made in Western Railway schedules tomorrow applies to eating stations. Train No. S5 due in Montgomery from Atlanta at 1O:55 a. m.; will stop twenty-five minutes for breakfast at Opelika instead of at West Point, Ga. Since the dining cars were taken off of the Western trains this train has been stopping for breakfast at West Point. Beginning in the morning tho meal station will be Opelika instead.
 Beginning in the morning the Western will have three suburban trains betweeI Atlanta and Red Oak. one in the morn ing and two in the afternoon. and tw' between Atlanta and College Park, on in the morning and one in the afternoon

ON THE "GAD."
Continued from last week. }

CONTINUED from last week.
On the road, west to Umbarger,
crops are in good condition but west
of there and beginning almost as
soon as you pass the store another
dry strip of country sets in. This
dry belt we are told extends clear
to Hereford. The best cotton our
reporter has seen on his travels is
on the farm of P. FreimeI, just west
of Umbarger. He has about three
acres that should yield ! of a bale to
the acre. The balance of his cotton
Is small he having had to replant on
account of "black bugs" Mr.. Frei-
mel has also thirty acres of Indian
corn that with a rain this week
would make twenty-five bushels
per acre; and had as much rain fall
len on his place as a mile TINS side
Of there, this would already have
been assured. The best gardens
visited on this trip were those of
Mr.. Freimel and J. A. Coffee. At
those two places cabbage, beets and
in fact all kinds of garden truck are
as good as anybody need Want-the
writer sampled some of Freime'S,
Coffee wasn't at home.
These observations were made
along the road and it is possible,
yes probable, that there are just as
good crops and perhaps gardens
that our reporter failed to see.
Grass all along the route IS good
and stock of all kinds are doing well.
There is no mistake but that with
early and deep blowing, followed by
timely seeding and thorough cult,
walton, this country would make
good crops and not only of forage,
but of Indian corn and cotton.

the country has to take his turn at
practicing.' Boys IS years old
and up get full of the ambition to
be champion ropers and steal into
peoples pastures to try their skill.
One Stockman claims he had four
teen steers killed by boys practic-
ing for the carnival last year. Many
others found cattle with their hips
knocked down or leg broken, thus
uniting them for market. No
wonder the stockmen rebelled this
year and refused to patronize car
nlval that cost them so dearly In.
cidentally the carnival promoters
have shown wisdom in pleasing the
cattle raisers by ruling out the rop-
ing and in pleasing the farmer by
devoting more attention to his work
and products.
But the general public does not
object to the roping because it costs
so much to the country, as because
of its cruelty to man and beast.
Last year boy was killed in prac-
tlce and a young man was thrown
from his horse and injured at the
contest. Half the steers thrown
were either killed or severely in
jured. Many went off the field
with broken legs or suffering from
diSlocated hip, horn torn off or
stunned from the force of the fall.
The next day the same steers were
run out and compelled to suffer
again. Persons with any human
feeling were nauSeated by the
sights and put rOping down as a
brother to the bull fight -
at would be a good idea for can
didateS for the legislature to an
nounce to the public their views on
this subject and the probability of
pacsing a law against future roping
contests, both for the good of the
country and the humanity of the
thing itself -

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
G.. A. B.
= saasa*aaaasaassaaaaaaaas

Last week in this column an opin-
ion was expressed concerning the
San Angelo Carnival committee in
cutting out of the program for this
year the roping contest. This mat
ter is thoroughly sifted by an old
friend OF the writer, Pat Murphy,
editor of the San Angelo Standard,
one Of the oldest and best papers of
West Texas, and fully in line with
the statements of stockmen upon
this question and the following
excerpt from its columns should be
convincing argument against a
further continuance of this barba-
rouS practice. The Standard says:
"The business men who are pro-
noting the carnival for this fall have
shown great wisdom in many ways
in ruling out the steer roplng con
tests. The people in general and
the Stockmen in particular have be.
come sick and tired of these affairs.
The cattIemen object to the roping
chiefly because, as one of them en-
pressed it, "every little upstart in

Staked Plains Forests.

In speaking of the culture OF
forestry in the Staked Plains, a
letter to the Dallas News of a
late date from W. L. Hall, Chief
of the Bureau of Forestry of the
Department of Agriculture, con-
tainS ar item of interest to those
interested in the growth on the
great Plains. The work of eX-
perimenting in forestry is being
undertaken more extensively by
the Government, as will be seen
by the following section of the
letter from Chief Hall:
"You may be interested to
know that last winter Mr.. Cloth,
Ter made another visit to the
Staked Plains, the result of
which was the planting of about
SEQ, 900 trees along the Pecos
Valley line between Amarillo
and Carlsbad. This Bureau
has a party OF four men now en-
gagged in making a study of the
Palo Dura Canyon for the New
York. Texas Land and Cattle
Company, with a view to the
preparation of planting trees and
working plans for tract of from
