From Corpus Christi to Brownsville
there are thousands of acres devoted to
rice culture with the greatest success.
Two cuttings are made from the same
field and same stubble IN one season, and
frequently SIS per acre profit is realized.
The largest rice mill in the United States
is located at Brownsville, and the whole
section promises to become one Of great
prominence in the rice industry.
No stronger comment can be made upon
the future prospects Of the culture of rice
in the gulf coast counties of Texas than
that of DR.. s. A. Knapp Of the agricul-
tural department Of the United States,
who said recently: t-
II find that the Texas farmer has the
best soil on earth for raising rice, and be-
ing new soil he has every advantage over
the farmers in the older rice sections like
Louisiana and the Carolinas. . .ss
DR.. Knapp has made an exhaustive
study Of rice growing in this country and
abroad, and It was he who introduced
the famous Kinshin seed from Japan,
which has proved SO successful in the
Texas rice fields.

DOWNFALL OF FISH DUE TO SOCIAL WAR.

Social aspirations of Mrs. f. H. Hartman ana
social jealousy on the part Of Mrs. Cornelius Van

cess Of Mrs. Stuyycsalt Fish are declared to be
at the bottom of the ousting of President flSh
from the control Of the Illinois Central railroad.
For years Mrs Fish has been an aCknowl
edged leader in the New York 400, and there are
stories to the effect that she has at times been
arrogant in her sway. Her rule as social soyor'
eign it is said has been especially felt by Mrs.
Hartman and her position has been envled by
other social leaders in her class, notably by Mrs

Winston thurchill's fight for the governorship
of New Hampshire may bring him the brilliant,
if indirect. reward of a seat in the United States
senate. The prospect is held out by the fact that
Floyd, the Republican candidate for governor
failed to secure a majority of the votes cast in
the election, and that in consequence the duty
of electing a governor will have to be performed
by the Legislature, which convenes in January
next. The constitutional candidates are Floyd,
Republican, and Jameson, Democrat, and under
the laws either of these gentlemen must be the
next chief magistrate of the state
In view Of the fact that the Republicans have

DURAND TOO SLOW FOR ROOT DIPLOMACY

Mr. Root has made this subject his hobby and

PLAN ADOPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT.

The plan on which the department of agrlcu'
ture is working is the establishment of complete
educational ladder on which the farmer boy may
climb from the rural school up to the agricultural
high school and then on up to the agricultural
college.
The first step in the ladder, according to Prof
Hays, is the consolidated rural school, the second
the agricultural high school, and the third and last
the state agricultural college. Hence the depart
ment is friendly to the movement through the
United States for consolidated rural schools
intended to take the place of the district schools
One consolidated rural school can be established
in a township and the children can be taken to it,
They would be housed in better buildings and

A wreck In mind and body Rev. Mnot ].
Savage, until last April pastor Of the Church OF
the Messiah in New York and one Of the most
conspicuous Unitarian ministers in the world
is now in private santarium near Cleveland and
in q serious condition His friends hope that his
life may be spared, but he is weak and the
strain on his mind has been such that it is feared
he will not recover.
Dr. Savage is G5 Years old and had held the
paStOrate Of the New York church for many
years. He became noted as the most forcciul
Unitarian minister in the country and his reputa-
ton extended abroad
As head Of his large church his labors were
heavy and year ago his physicians advised
him that, tired in body and min he needed
rest. He would not listen to their advice, but
last April he found that he could no longer stand
