The en- Behind No Connter.

We have heard In song and story
OF the man behind the gun,
There are also many others
Who have admiration won;
But there's still another worthy
OF . place IN prose and rhyme
She's the girl behind the counter
In this busy shopping time,
She Is at her post Of duty
Bright and early. long and late,
She Is courteous and smiling
Though hundred aqgravate.
And though many needless questions
Oft her patience sorely try
There's no symtOm OF yexation,
For she makes a prompt reply
Heavy boxes oft she's taking
From the shelves above her head,
And the contents, for inspection
On the counter she will spread
And though often there's no purchase
And her work has been in vain,
She will calmly pack those boxes
And then put them back again.
Showing, selling, telling prices,
She h ever on the 90,
And although she's often weary
Not sign Of it she'll show
And when customers come rushing,
Girl and woman boy and man,
All at once she can't be serving,
But she does the best she can.
Don't forget that she is human
And has troubles Of her own,
Do not grnmble at slight waiting
When such diligence is shown.
Patient, courteous and jealous,
Worth q place in prose and rhyme
Is the girl behind tho counter

WHAT TIE TINES DID say.

The Barre Daily Times seems inclined
to think that certain trade contracts
entered into between the Mannfactur-
ers' association aud the labor organi-
zations Of Barre previous to the enact
ment of the weekly payment law will
make that act imperative until said
private agreements expire, evidently
basing til belief upon section j, Of ar
ticle 10 OF the United States constitu-
ton, which reads as follows @N0 state
shall pass any bill of
attainder ex post facto law, or law
impairing the obligation Of contracts
Z The Times apparently over.
looks the fact that literal interpreta
tion Of the clause referred to would, in
4 Thousand and one ways. make it inn
possible to safeguard public interests
when new laws are about TO be enacted;
forgetting perhaps. that innumerabIe
private contracts supposedly inimical
to public welfare have been abrogated
by statute law in the past. and that q
denial of this right would be equivalent
to saying that the private contracts of
individuals are Of greater moment than
legislative enactment pertaining to the
welfare of the people as a whole
Frmont Union Signal
The contemporary did not read
alright the reference which The Times
made 70 the status Of the weekly pay
mnt law, or it read into our statement
something which was not there. We
suppose that The Signal in its above
comment had in mind recent eompari
son Of the weekly payment law in Yer.
mont with the Massachusetts law and
the reception Of the latter by the Old
Colony railroad, It's attempt to eyade
weekly payment because its employees
petitioned against the law and tho sub.
sequent forcing Of the railroad to pay
each week, IN spite Of the petition. If
the contemporary had that in mind, we
repeat what we wrote before, that the
situations are scarcely analogous and
therefore the probable action Of the Yer.

THE DATE CROP.

The way date trees are being in
PRODUCED along the Rio Grande
valley, it may not be many years
before dates will be one of the
principal crops shipped out from
this border section of the State
LAREDO Times.
There is no doubt about the date
tree being a success in the Lower
Rio Grande, where it grows to per-
lection and even as far back in the
country as FaIfurrias it is evident
gy a success commercially. 1t is a
fact about dates being a great crop
IN this valley. The trees pollinat
ed have yielded abundantly dates
of fine quality.

Quarantine Officer at Brownsville,
says the health of that city was
never so good as it has been since
the anti-mosqnito crusade was TN

vigor.
Brownsville had an epidemic of

and the State Health Officer VS.
tied that city to institute an in
vestigation. He found the city
Infested with mosquitoes and he
told the people that the mosquitoes
were largely, is not entirely, res
ponsible for the spread of the
fever.
Then began the anti-mosquito
campaign, and DR.. Armstrong says
that as soon as active warfare upon
she mosquitoes began, the cases of
dengue fever began to grow rapid

DEVELOPING OUR RE-
SOURCES.


THE HERALD yesterday printed
a news item telling of the prepare
tons being made for fruit planta-
ton at San Benito, where 800 acres
will be planted in bananas, grapes
and oranges. Mr.. Ssilwell has
been experimenting at his nurser-
les. and he found that he could
grow here grapes that California
could not excel as regards favor,
size and shipping qualities. He
discovered that vines in Browns
wille bear fruit Is months from
planting, and that the grape crop
IS from six weeks to two months
earlier than in California. Orange
trees do well in this country, where
projected, and by planting them
between the rows of bananas Mr.
Stilwell is confident he will make
them a success commercially. The
same method will be adopted in
setting out the grapevines, thus
making the whole plantation a
combination vineyard, orange
grove and banana plantation.

and soon there was hardly vestige

says the mosquito may not be the
only cause of the propagation OF
this fever, but the experience at

that the mosquito is at least largely
responsible as the distributor OF
dengue, as well as of other fevers-
There are few cities in Texas
now that have not made some
efforts to rid themselves of mos

ordinances requiring the screening

find a breeding place. If these or
