Novel and Pretty Idea Recently Intro

One woman who has built country
home on a most elaborate plan has
introduced many novel ideas in its
arrangement and furnishings. She is
going to name every guest chamber
after a flower, and is carrying out
that idea to the smallest detail. Thus
the walls of the violet room, which is
perhaps the prettiest room OF all, are
covered with French tapestry In the
design of which violets predominate
The drapery on the dressing table if
of muslin and lace tied with bunches
of violets. and mauve ribbon is chosen
to tie the hangings of the bed as well
as the curtains Even a mammoth
bottle of violet perfume is not for
gotten.
Duties of the Waitress
The duties of waitress are mani

There can now be no doubt that

The barefoot boy and the man
with the straw hat both registered
their arrival yesterday and tho boy,
at least, was the recipient OF many
enyIous glances from those who
have outgrown some Of tho priy!l-
eyes OF the Ancient and Universal
order Of Childhood, The man with
the straw hat could hardly be called
reliable sign Of a Panhandle spring
or summer. Under the influence OF
this lively plains atmosphere the
straw variety Of head covering for
men has proved so changeablo that
inhabitants who have become accli-
mated through several seasons OF
trying TO keep connected with straw
hats have definitely forsworn their
use, For this reason the trade IN
straw hats in Panhandle towns Is us
ually confined TO those whose OK.
periencc in regard to Panhandle
winds Is comparatively limited. But
for all that, the man with the straw
hat meant well and he may be safely
taken as corroborativo evidence along
with the other signs Of the season,

LITTLE DANGER FROM DRouTH

Just now, becaugo We are having
q few weeks without Egln, many fears
are heard lest his country viii havo
dry year While tbq editor Of the
Panhandle IL new conner to this
locality aud has not passed an en-
tiro year In Amarillo, Yet he is told
Cat rains in ,bc spring Of tho ycar
are unusual here, but that tho moist
nro usually comes during the crop
growing portion Of nd year
It must be romembtrod that this
is only tho latter part 'of March, and
that there Is SIN plenty Of time for
even a wet spring hero.
In the northern states plenty OF
rain in March and April means n
good, heavy hay crop, yot we have
seen It in Iowa aud Illinois very dry
In tho early spring, making the hay
crops short and very thin, We have
also seen 1t very dry IN sections when
the crops were growing and needing
rains badly In 1883 or so we saw
Il very dry In Iowa, with very little
corn raised, and less hay over a great
portion of the state. In sections of
Iowa IN 1901 II was very dry, and
IN many portions during the crop
growing season, no rainafell for over
three months, and pastures burned
up, and but little corn lwas grown,
unless It was planted very early and
got a good start before the dry spell
started
Don't get scared about rrain in the
Panhandle, The gnyet4pent record
shows that for the last ten to twelve
years around Amarillo, and in fact
the entire Panhandle coJhtrY plenty
Of rain has fallen during the crop
raising portions OF the year. and
there is no reason to doubt that It
will fall this year, though It appears
little dry just now.
The soil in this. country is very
different from that In iowa and IL
linois, It holds moisture for a long
time, and when cultivated well on
top, the moisture in the ground rises
to the top and sustains the growing
crops. Though butlittle rain has fall
len here for several weeks, the grass
is springing and winter wheat is look
ing fine. There Is plenty Of moist
ure in the ground from the winter
rains and snow. to last for consid-
cradle time, and while dry season
is possibility here as well as in old
err sections of the agricultural states,
yet a drouth is in no way 4 probility
here.

STAR ELEVATOR EXTENSIONS.

Principal Towns.
In anticipation of the bumper
wheat crop this season, the Star Mill
&Elevator Co., OF this place, is put
ing in a string of elevators at the
principal grain receiving towns in
the Panhandle. There are now I'M
der construction elevators in Can
yon City. Panhandle and Hereford,
and Glazier. The buildings will have
a capacity of from 5000 to 10000
bushels and will be equipped with
the latest appliances for handling
grain.
Several other points I'm addition
to those where construction Is now
going on are under consideration by
the company. The building of ele-
yators at the various towns meets
a demand that will be stronger this
year than ever and will materially
assist the grain riasers in the sec
tons where they are located. other
companies are also placing elevators
along tho Panhandle lines and the
small grain business will be firmly
established on a market basis this
year.

AMARILLO NEWSPAPERS,

The following Is taken from the
Clarendon Twlcc-a-Wecl Chronicle,
one of The best Of our Texas OK
changes;
According to tho Childress index
the wichita Falls people art to try
q little socIalisic venture Of their
own In the paper line It says, The
citlzcns of means In Wichita Falls
have decided upon having a daily pa
per- having raised $4,000 with
which 10 start H. rho promoters
say they do not expect to antagonlze
the papers at wichita Falls, but will
purchase and discontinue them, hay
ing only one paper in town, They
say by this means the city will he
able 10 support one good daily paper
which will add materially TO the
growth of the town and county
These very same people are pro-
nouncod In their predictions that
such ventures in other lines will
prove rank failures; and, sometimes
they do. Not long since Amarillo
parties tried the very same thing,
but II was Of very short duration
and that burg 10 still proving a YER
table paper graveyard It takes
brains, grit, industry--and money to
run a successful newspaper, as some
merchants have found out at the eX-
pensc OF their cash drawer"
Say, Brother Blake, when are YOU
going to quit calling Aamrillo a yorit-
able newspaper graveyard? The
plant from which the Daily Panhan-
die is issued, was purchased by the
present proprietor a little over a year
ago, with the Weekly Herald run
ming. The Daily was started last
July and has proven business sue
Icess, and it's prospects are bright, and
business growing every day. Where
Is there any graveyard representa-
tive or candidate about the Panhan-
die? 1t was the successor of several
former publications to be sure but it
- most lively corpse today
True, several efforts have been
made since, by parties without CAPT
tai, to put newspaper in the field
in opposition to the Panhandle and
there being no room for them, they
have died, There are some things
about the Wichita Falls venture,
which look wise to the writer, There,
like here, there is probably room,
and business for ono good newspa-
per, while the same business divided
between several papers would not
make a good newspaper of any Of
them and the graveyard would soon
receive one or all,
True, It takes "brains, grit, and
money to run a successful newspa.
per" and It takes more, 1t takes eX-
perience, and hard work, combined
with all the other requisites our
brother has named, and then a field
large enough and public willing to
give a good newspaper the support it
must have to make it a paying prop
osition. If these arc lacking, the
promoters can soon drop their
wad," in the language Of the street
and the newspaper graveyard receive
tho corpse.
Amarillo has gone beyond tho
graveyard period. 1t is good
newspaper town for one good news
paper, and is getting better every
day. A second one would have
hard time escaping the graveyard,
