HOW BURTON HURD
HAS REVOLUT7ONzZED THE CULTURE or SOUTH

for the manufacture of new line of
breakfast foods and pancake flour, in
which rice will be the principal in
gredient, and third plant for the
manufacture of stock foods.
Wealth in By-Products.
A barrel Of rough rice weighing 162
pounds produces 100 pounds of clean,
marketable rice. Mr. Hurd and his as
sociates have devised and own and con-
troll the. methods and appliances by
which the So called ioffal Of sixty-two
pounds from every barrel Of rough rice,
including brewers rice, rice and bran
polish, ETC., will be manufactured into
by-products Of the cereal and put on the
market at the least possible cost to the
producer and consumer. This cant
paign is already well entered upon. Ad-
vertising has been prepared, trade
marks secured and nearly every step
taken in a powerful movement for
more practical method of distribution
than is possible under the present sys-
tenn of artificial grading by the broker
and which will largely, if not wholly,
eliminate the broker from the trade and
divide the profit he now makes between
the producer and manufacturer.
The development of the by-products
heretofore overlooked and the equip
ping Of plants for making foods for
uidl anu USoloI NY OnO
sic values of rice will not doubt, under
the resistless energy Of Mr.. Hurd, keep
pace with all other phases of the gigan..
tic enterprise which he has engineered
so mastery. It is estimated that the
utilizing Of the by-products by the,
adoption of the processes devised by
officials of the company will add sew
eral millions of dollars annually to the
value of rice products in this country.
For ten years Mr.. Hurd has been TAX
ing farmers and investors of the central
western states to Texas and has settled
hundreds upon the lands of the com.
pany. The old prejudice against tho
south is wearing away and now large.
/ communities in the coast region are
largely composed Of nothern men. The
company has agents in all parts of the
country and its regularly conducted ex-
cursions for the south leave on the first
and third Tuesdays Of each month.
I All Texas seems prosperous. The cot
ton crop Is somewhat short, owing to
bad weather, but the price is good and

The game on June 3 at Benson
was good game for seven innings,
but in the eight Benson secured
three runs which won the game
easily.
Benson secured run in the first
inning. Gutherie the first man up
secured base on balls, stole second
went to third and scored on throw
which Stewart was unable to handle.
In the next inning, Thorson and
Darlington the first two men up
received free transportations to first.
Morrison bungled Hudson's hot drive
and Thornton scored. Darlington
was advanced to third. Hudson
started for second and Andy threw
to catch him, but no one was there
to receive the throw and Darlington
scored. Arne and Thorson both
famed, and Gutherie put the side
out by sending an easy one to Morri-
son.
In the eighth base on balls an err
ror, two fielders choices and hit
netted Benson three runs which
cinched the game for them.
After Benson had scored in the
first Morris came at them in the Sec
ond and secured the lead for brief
moment. Morrison, the first man up,
drew a nice hit, started for second
and reached third on a wild throw
by Thornton. O'Brien sent one to
Thornton who failed to hold it result
ting in a score by Morrison. Dan
struck out, Jones and Danielson were
both hit by pitched balls, filing the
bases. Guthrie seemed to be
up in the ais for minite
for he passed Bailey forcing
O'Brien across the plate. Stew
art ended the fun by sending an easy
one to Guthrie who threw him out at
first

During the past week Morris and
Benson have met on the ball diamond
twice and each team has secured a
victory. The first game was at Ben
son Saturday when the locals were
taken into camp by the score of 6 to
z. The second was played Wednes-
day when the locals got back at the
Benson boys by defeating them in a
great contest which resulted in vic
tory for our boys, the score standing
l to 0 at the end of nine innings of
hard play. Both games demonstrate
the fact that both cities have ball
teams of the very highest standard,
and as they are so evenly matched it
is hoped that series of games can
be arranged between the two clubs.
One of the best game ever played
in this part of the country was pulled
off before a good crowd on the local
grounds last Wednesday, when the
locals defeated the Benson
aggregation by the score of to O
Both teams played good ball. But
one error was made in the whole
game and that one was by Peterson
of Benson who threw wild to first,
enabling O'Malley to win for Morris
by bringing in the only score of the
game.
The game however was a pitchers
battle from start to finish Both
twirlers performed wonderfully we'll
with Brown a little in the lead.
Brown had the Benson bunch at his
mercy turnout the game, and did not
allow himself to be caught in any
tight places; not man saw third
and but two saw second. Only one
hit was made off his delivery, and
that was on the scratch order.
Eighteen Benson boys famed the
air. Guthrie, on the other hand,
altho he pitched good ball-good
enough to win an ordinary game,
was caught in some tight places but
his team mates pulled him out in
every case. He famed eight men,
and allowed only five hits. Morris
made the score which won the game !
in the second inning. O'Mailey the
first man UP hit a nice line drive to
center and landed safely on first.
OBJ rien flew to Arne. Horrigan sent
little pop up to Peterson at second.
O'Mally dident seem to have very
much confidence in the ability OF
his team mates to advance him so he
stole second. Jones the next man
up sent a hard grounder to Peterson
at second who felded the ball but
threw wild to first, so wild in tact as
to allow O'Malley to sprint from
second to home with the winning
talley tucked under his arm. Daniel
son proved waiter and as result
secured free pass to first. Brown
ended in ali by striking at three wide
ones.
Morris had several other chances
q score but good fielding on the
,art of Benson, together with the
inability of the Morris boys to Sc
,ura hits when hits were needed

Suggestions to Younger Folk as to
How They Can Make Life Pleas
ant for Elders.

Most young people are willing to do
trifing acts of courtesy and kindness
when they are asked for; even when it
is at a cost of some sacrifice on their
part, they generally make the secriice
with agreeable promptness. But there
is special grace to be given the favor
that is done before it is asked or with
out any previous knowledge of the re-
cipient.
1t is such a pleasure to find things
and without having to beg some one to
do them that the timely thought of
somebody is gratefully appreciated;
and, although the thought may not be
easy to give at first, it grows by prac-
tice.
Suppose as some older person enters
the room where the feather-hearted
younger person sits, the most COM
Portable corner of the room is found
vacated, the relief of not needing to
turn some one else out adds greatly to
the zest of occupying it.
