a perfect stand. and it grew very
rapidly. | cultivated it the same as
milo and kaflir and the growth was
phenomenal attaining a height of
about five feet. with a great amount
of fodder, so dense tlrat the rows
looked like Il solid mass.
The grain does not form in single
head like kaffir corn or sorghum, but
forms many spran%les. dropping grace
fully and is the prettiest crop | ever
saw growing. | failed to note the date
of harvesting. but think it was about
three and half months from the time
the same as kaffir corn or other forage
crops. As to the yield per acre, |
hardly know how to answer. Many
persons drove out to see it before it
was cut, and no one estimated the
yield at less than 40 bushels to the
acre. and some were enthusiastic
enough to declare it would run 75, but
we are inclined to believe that the
lowest estimate was nearer correct.
We did not have it tilreshed, and have
no way of arriving more accurately at
the yield. Have fed it to horses and
cattle and they eat it as if they ap-
preciated it, The fodder is very fine,
but the grain is too fiinty to be fed
without being crushed. We crush
katfir and milo for our stock, believing
it greatly enhances the value. We had
some of it ground in Amarillo and
tried it as a breakfast food. also for
batter cakes. and it was pronounced
excellent by all that tried it. My wife
prefers it to any breakfast food we
have ever used. and | think we have
exhausted the list. believe firmly
that when the flour mill is completed
that is now being erected in Amarillo,
that they can Use it in manufacturing
a cheap grade of flour and possibly in
giving the suffering public a new
breakfast food labeled the Panhandle

Some account of the leaders who
have assisted Mrs Alden in carrying
on Sunshine would interest al, so strik-
ing is the personality of all acknOwl-
edged leaders. They are people who
have had worldwide experience in
with ancestors of historic fame, who
have given them gifts of graciOusness
and power Their names are familiar
to all the world how through the press
and through their wonderful work for
the children of men.
One is astOniShed at the far-reaching
influence and the hOmely virtues Sun
shine ever exercises. 1t requires peo-
pie who do not lose their heads, who
can, like Napoleon, do six things at
once.and answer innumerable questions
and letters, prepare copy, even like
Mrs. Alden, write Il story or an article.
Can this be done and the home not
suffer? Yes and no. Those who must
be hOme-makerS are obliged to work
Ill IlOSe llctIe ways WHICH, dlc ShC ptoIh
bone of the Suneshine spirit, at home
nrSI, abroad at every turn tne Calls
can be met. At every counter where
one trades one experiences the keen
heart-thrill of a Sunshine smile or
glance COurtesies to all who serve
are possible to the hOme-keeper-
thought which lays aside what could
be useful to some crippled child, tile
wardrobe 10 longer needed for parent
or child, the picture which would teach,
the eye that is quick to see anOther's s
shine rays to be shed i'll every spot
under the shining sun, upon rich or
poor alike. Those who can give more
never, neglect their own. That would
not be sunshine. Sorrows, which must
be lived down; lonely hours, which
must be filled; capacity for work,
which must be supplied, else the heart
would be eaten up with its misery,
supply the leaders who are at the helm.
ct it is possible for many to he home
keepers as well and never lose their
gracious personalities. No part Of
Sunshine is more satisfying than that
among the children either to find work
for them to do, or some one to work
for them.

Italians for Farm LabOrers.

The following iS from the Farmer 5
Call:
There has been incorporated i'm New
York City. Labor InfOrma ton OF
flee for Italians" We are informed
that this organiza ton is composed of
prominent American citizens, incorpor-
ated under the laws of the state of
New York for the purpose of better
distributing Italian immigrant labor
and preventing the abuses of the pad
rome system.
The officers of the organization state
that its aim is solely to act as dis
interested intermediary between ap-
plicants for employment and appli-
cants for help, without making any
charge to either one or the other. AS
we understand the objects of the or
ganizatiOn, it puts in the foreground
have been farmers in their native
country out from the cOngested cities
on to the farms where farm labor is
so much needed.
The officers of the organization are
prominent and well-knOwn and honor
able men. The object of the Organi
zation is a 1audable one. We must
,onfeSs, however, that we have serious
,.ou1ts as to the average Italian immi
grant proving IL valua BILE farm labOrer
in the North at least. We do not be
lieve that he has the strength, vfgOr,
energy. intelligence and, especially,
the initiative that are required on the
farms in the upper Mississippi valley,
for example We have been told that
he few Italian farm labOrers that
have gone to the South have proved
cry satisfactory and that many more
such are desired. We have a notion
that the Southern prejudice against
the negro is in no small part respOn-
Sfble for the rosy reports on the Itali-
an farm labOrer in the Southern states.
We sincerely hope that the Southern
planters may be able to get all the
Italian farm labOrers they want, and
that these hbOrers may prove highly
satisfactory, but we are safe in saying
to the Southern planter, that the Itali-
an will not submit to the treatment
frequently accorded the negroes, and
that the Italian will very quickly
strike back. He will not do this open
ly, but he does know as no one else
knows that has come to the United
States, how to use the stiIetto. and es-
pecfally in the back; how to leave
"a corpse full of knife stabs without
anyone having seen the murder; and
also how TO start a fire without leav-
ing the Oil-can where it is easily dis
covered. In fact, apparently he does
not run the risk of using the oil-can
at all.

Got Things Mixed.

1t wasn't a Missouri editor but a
printers devil who was going through
his first experience on "making up"
forms. The paper was late and the boy
got the galIeys mixed. The first part
of the obituary notice of a citizen had
been dumped in the forms and the next
handful of type came off of a galley
describing a recent fire. 1t read like
this: "The pall-bearers lowered the
body to the grave and it was consigned
to the flame there were few if any re-
grets, for the old wreck had been an
eyesore to the town for years. OF course
there was individual loss, but that was
fully covered by Insurance." The wild
ow thinks the editor wrote the obitu-
airy that way because the lamented
partner of her joys and sorrows owed
him five years Observation-Disclosures

Obituary.


Mrs. Emily Jane Barnwell, nee
Rhodes, wife of j. Frank Barnwell,
died Sept. 2, 1905, after a. short and
painful illness. The deceased was born
in Henderson County. Dec. 28th. 1867,
married Oct. 2lst, 1886. Her husband
and five children survive her. She
leaves besides one sister, Mrs. Nancy
A. Laughter, four brothers: John,
Joseph, Marion and Rufus Rhodes.
Mrs. Barnwell early became a Christ
ian and united with the BaptistS, living
q consistent and beautiful Christian
life. During her last illness she bore
with Christiani fortitude and resigna-
ton the evere and trying ordeal of pain,
thinking of others and their welfare
rather than herself.
She was a fond, loving mother, a
sympathizing, helpful wife, a true and
kind neighbor; highly esteemed and be-
loved by all who knew her. She was
interested not onlyin the proper a
ing and. training of her own children,
but rejoiced in every good work in
school and church in her community.
A large circle of friends as we'll as
kindred will sincerely mourn her de-
parture, and will miss her gentle spirit,
and her benign and gracious influence
upon them. Her bereaYed husband
and sorrowing friends hereby acknowl-
edge the many kindnesses and thought
full attention shown her in the last days
of her life.

Letter to s johnson.

-aZLf-E
Dear Sir: Now, may be, you can't get
the goods; if you can, your fortune is
made.
Cotton cloth-they call it muslin in
some parts-at about the usual price
per yard, but WIDER, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white and whole a surprising time in all
sorts of wear.
You can sell that cloth for hundreds
OF miles; tbere'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer; one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till well
worm No one customer buys SO
much of it, but think of the number of
customers!
May be you can't get it in cloth: but
you can in paint: Devoe. Devoe is as
if it were wider; a gallon goes further;
you buy less gallons; you pay for less
gallons; you pay for painting less gal
lons-as if one paid less for making a
garment of that wide cloth-and it keeps
it's fresh look and sheds water till you
have forgotten how old it is.
1t isn't true in cloth, but it is In paint:
the less you pay. the better it Is; for
the goodness of paint is reckoned by
gallons; less gallons, more goodness.
Goodness in paint is strength. The
stronger a paint, the less gallons it
takes for a job and the longer it wears.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
