Reports Big Demand.

E. A. Wade proprietor of the
Alva Rose Creamery Of Alva o. T.,
was in the city last week in the in
terest of his creamery. Mr.. Wade
states that the present capacity of
his plant at Alva is 1000 pounds
of butter per day and that it is al
most impossible for him to supply
his rapidly increasing trade which
has grown from a small beginning
to a manufacturing enterprise of
great commercial Importance to
this section of the country.
This was the first visit of Mr..
Wade to Amarillo and he was we'll
pleased with the results of his stay
here, He states that he will, in
the future, give this part of his ter
ritory his personal attention and
hopes to even increaee his present
demand here.

all the rest of the Bible and il
would not make any difference to
the human race if the Golden Rule
we're left
And yet there are other things
in the Bible than that, even though
it covers them all. Those ten
commandments are the base of all
law, and as essential in their OBJ
servation to the perfect life, as
when they came down from the
thunders of Sinai. Most Of US vio-
late them all more or less, but that
does not detract from their value,
or their necessity to right living.
1t is considered a little old fash
Toned, by some folks, but the Bible
is turned to for comfort today as
much as it ever was, and it never
|
fails, no matter what the call.
What man can feel blue or lone
some or forsaken after reading the
Twenty-third Psalm, the grandest
of the songs of David q?
What comfort there is in the
Thirty-seventh Psalm to the man
who is broke, who works his heart
out to feed his brood, and to whose
aching limbs sleep comes slowly at
the close of day!
There are many more places
where the human interest" comes
in, they form a new ending pano-
rama to the reader of the Bible, no
matter whether he reads it as a
literary production or as an in
spired book. They appeal to the
reason and the heart, as no book
before or since has done, tending
ever toward the promise of immor-
tality, which is the underlying hope
in every breast, apd about which
we know so little after all.
That is the key reason to the in
destructibility and the perennial
freshness of the Bible, and why
centuries and added knowledge but
add to its simple power.

Big Ranch Deal.

Some 10000 acres of land
comprising the south half of the
Couts ranch of l6l, 900 acres in
Bailey county southwest of Anna
rillo on the Texas-New Mexico line
has been sold to a Virginia capitalist
whose name is not given.
The price paid is 1925 an acre,
representing a total expenditure OF
$4,000.
The land is a part of the Couts
estate. Mr.. Couts deceased, lived
for many years in Weatherford,
Texas, and was the father of Mrs.
S. B. Burdett of Fort Worth.
Judge |. W. Stephens of Wealth

estate, closed the deal.

IT may have been mentioned be-

rillo was doing something about
permanent sidewalks. Here we
are, a city rising 10000 people,
with a system of bride paths that
make US the laughing stock of all
the western country, and the mud
diest hole on earth during the
rainy intervals. The people of
Amarillo are not backward in in
telligenoe, but they have failed to
study this matter, and to realize
that it adds many times its value to
the property touched. A few of the
tightwadders have circulated ex-
aggerated stories of their cost. A

be put down in front of a 5o-foot

SUFFICIENT FOR EVERY WANT.

In these modern days there are
many wonderful changes brought
about by science and invention and
the progress of the times, but there
is one factor in the life of man that
does not change. 1t is today the
grandest historical novel, the most
complete chronicle of the most in
teresting period of the old world,
and the only book known which
has remained in the esteem of the
masses a hundred years after it
was written,
There are many who have grave
doubts Of the inspiration of the BIZ
BILE, rather considering it a mass of
legends compiled by scholarly fa-
natics from the folk lore of even
more distant centuries, but the i'm
press of the Bible through the ages
is the impress of today.
1t is the Golden Rule that makes
life worth living today. 1t is the
flower of Christian faith, the we'll
spring that refreshes an unspeaka-
BILE multitude. To all right-minded
men and women 1t is the guide-star
of a long journey-rising beyond
creeds and lifting the most ordinary
routine to the plane of the sublime.

A REGULAR OVATION TO
SENATOR TAYLOR.

When the conference report was
adopted by the Senate, on last Tues
day, by a vote of 26 to 4, fixing the
site for Kentucky's New Capitol.
and making an appropriation of
the President of the Senate, Lieut..
Governor Thorne. appointed COM
mittee consisting of Senators Can
trill, Taylor and Cox to report the
bill to the House, and ask the con-
currence of that body.
The committee made it's report
on Wednesday morning as soon as
the House was called to order : :
Speaker Brown. Representative
Drewry, OF Louisville, Immediately
arose, and stated that the General
A ssembly was about to close it's
labors. and TO finish up the work
for which il was called in eXtraOr-
binary session, and be thought IT
was but right and proper that the
House should extend an invitation
to the distinguished Senator from
Franklin, who had spent the last
twelve years of his life in labOring
TO secure for the city Of Frank fort
the permanent seat of government,
and who had done more towards
securing the $1,000, 0C0 appropria-
ton for the building of the Capitol
than any other citizen of the State,
to address the House. and moved
that the House resolve itself into
Committee of the Whole, and that
the Chair appoint a committee OF
three to wait upon the Senator,
and apprise him of the wishes OF
the House. The motion was unan-
imously adopted. The Speaker ap-
pointed representatives Drewry,
Miller and Klair.
The committee retired and in a
few minutes returned with Senator
Taylor. The Senator was accorded
a regular ovation, all the members
of the House, and the citizens in
the Hobbies and gallery rising and
applauding. AS soon as order was
restored Senator Taylor thanked
the House for the compliment paid
him. stating that, in his twelve
years service as Senator and
Representative, he had not at
tempted to make u speech, and had
cOntented himself with labOring
in a quiet way to advance the in
terests of his constituency and the
State, and left speech-makiDg to
the orators of the two houses.
The Senator was overcome by the
kindness and good will of the MEM
bers Of the House, and retired
amid much applause.
1t was a great compliment to
Frankfort's princelv Senator.
