the approval of, the aldermen. The
Pierce street crossing has been be-
fore the council at various times for
over a year and the railroad company
has several times assured the city
government that 1t intended putting
in a crossing at that point Up to
this time, however, they have failed
to take any steps in the matter ex-
cept to order all warehouses taken
off the right of way in that vicinity.
BY unanimous vote the city attor-
ney was instructed to draw up an
ordinance covering the use Of the
streets by peddlers who maintain
regular stands at corners or along
the sidewalks. Such merchants pay
neither rent nor taxes and their use
Of the public streets is severely crit
icised by legitimate merchants in the

THREE GAMES
WITH The COWBOYS

Three games of rafting good ball
is the Fourth OF July offering which
Captain Hutchinson has provided for
Amarillo fans. Many people will be
over from Canyon to see the games
and others will come from surround
ing towns to see the contests.
This Is the first time that the
Cowboys have appeared on the dia-
mond since their return from the
northern trip and the fans are anx-
ious to see how they work after hav-
ing been exposed to the cornbelt eli
mate. From the looks of the scores
the Cowboys made in their trip
through Kansas, Missouri, Illinois
and Iowa, they are working in the
way that makes scores hard to mark
up for their opponents.
The Amarillo lineup has been ma
terially strengthened and unless the
additions fall down on lack of team
work, the bunch as a whole will be
mighty hard to score against. j.,
Stone will hold the receivers NIT in
all the games. Stone is not only a
veteran backstop but he is a hitter
who has already proved his ability
to smash the benders put across by
the Canyon pitchers.
Hutchinson will face him from
the pitchers Sox this afternoon,
Weber will probably take that place
tomorrow, and Gallegos, the Mexi-
can will be in action tomorrow aft
ernoon. All three Of the twirlers
are steamed up to high pressure and
the work OF catching them will give
Stone plenty to occupy his attention.
The games tomorrow will be
called at 10 in the morning and 4
in the afternoon.

WORKING FOR
u. 5. FARM
Business Men Want TO Guar
antee Small Fun1 for Big
Improvement
From Wednesdays Daily. J

{ From Wednesdays Daily. }
Wanted, thirty-five men with
500 each, or seven men with $500
each, or one man with $500, or
any number Of men with any number
Of amounts just so the total reaches
$500, which Is the modest amount
asked by the United states depart
ment Of agriculture for establishing
on permanent basis for twenty
years the experimental farm at
Amarillo.
In the rush OF Amarillo business
men after the numerous enterprises
which are demanding attention in
this growing city the modest re-
quirements OF the experimental farm
have been somewhat neglected The
real Importance OF the work involved
IN the experimental farm and its in
creaslng value to Amarillo and to
the Panhandle have never been ques-
TONED but since SO many projects
demanded time and attention., bus
mess men here have acquired the
habit of thinking that the farm could
wait few months and then that
Amarillo could get together and do
what the town has all along in
tended.
Uncle Sans department Of agrl-
culture, however, is different
proposition, and Is accustomed to
having its wants supplied very short
ly after It makes them known. So
the move at present on the part Of
the department men in charge Of the
work in this section has called the
business men here into somewhat be-
lated activity. II the demands Of
the department are met at once,
Amarillo will retain the farm which
is to be constantly improved and
which will receive the expenditure
of large sums Of money under the
direction Of the departments experts,
Briefly the requirements are the
lease Of something over a hundred
acres of land and the contribution in
money of $4,000, To-day a commit
tee of citizens is at work to secure
guarantee of the $500. Two
propositions have been received to
donate the land to the department
for twenty years. William II. Bush
has offered the citizens choice OF any
of his land but this would put the
farm at least five miles out Of ANA
rlllo. Another offer has been Sc
cured from II. b. Sanborn, who will
donate the lease to the department
of a quarter section of his land just
east of town and in full view Of al
the railroads. This is by far the
most accessible of all the sites that
have been considered.
If the guarantee OF the land and
the money is not made within a
very short time, the department. will
move the farm to some other point
in the Panhandle and several towns
have already made the requisite
guarantee and are waiting Sor a
chance to get the farm.

A KICKING Bird.

Every boy and girl who reads this
has seen an ostrich in a menagerie
or zoo, but they have looked at it
simply as big bird and perhaps won
dered how it protected itself from its
enemies.
The speed of an ostrich is tat of a
fast horse for the first five miles.
After that it Stacks off, but can keep
up a good pace for at least twenty
miles Unless the lion is near enough
to spring upon the bird, he cannot
get her.
The kick of an ostrich is as heavy
as that of a cart horse, but unlike the
horse or other four-foote animal she
kicks out in front instead of behind.
In passing a man she will kick him
hard enough to break his ribs, and
instances has been known where a
horse has been bowled over and seri-
ouly hurt. lnty a few weeks ago,
while the owner of flock OF Cali
fornia ostriches was showing the birds
to friend, the friend was kicked by
one of the birds and had his hip
broken. The feathers are beautiful
but kicks are something you don't
want.

MAGNET Lifts Six Iona

Electromagnetic are much used In
connection with cranes and other CON
veyors for lifting heavy pieces of iron
and steel. The Illinois Steel company
has magnet weighing 1000 pounds
which lifts six tons. In Belgium mag
nets are used to lift tons of hot met
and in foundries and rolling mills.
The power of the electromagnetic Is
regulated by the switch controlling
the current The magnet is lowered to
the object needed with the current
turned off. When the switch is closed
the magnet becomes active, holds the
articles to be lifted while they are
raised and transported to their des
tination. When they are lowered the
switch is opened and the magnet i'm
mediately releases them. AS the ope
rator of the crane controls the action
of the magnet through the switch
this one man can attend to all the
details # transferring heavy meta
objects. 40 assistant is needed to at
tach them to the conveyor or to re
lease them when they reach their des
tination.
Another use to which the electro
magnet is put is in breaking old cast
ings so that they may be melted and
utilized. To accomplish this the magnet
is made to lift and drop steel bel
weighing from one to six tons.

The engraving of cards started il

France was zealously promoting the
multiplication of playing cards In

his court was selected for the cos

Valois and Bourbon.

Young Louis was also early educated
to the game by the great cardinal, j..

his evenings Nine de la Porte re-
lates that upon one occasion, after
the young king had left the cardinals
room and retired, a message was
brought to him inviting him to take
part in a game Of cards. His reply
was that he had no money to play
with. Nine. de la Porte tried her best
to have him acknowledge that he had
been playing cards with his minister.
He refused to commit himself, but
later on, when she asked him posi-
tivel if his emjnence had taken the
money from him he answered Yes.

Enough Copper IN Phone System
to Make Circuit to Mars

Boston, July 2S.-Stock in Calumet
and Heela, the largest copper mining
company in the world, has sold at
$1,000 a share this year, and there
were few shares obtainable. Even
when offered forty times par, stock
holders were not willing to part With
their interest in mines which the
Lake Superior Indians had crudely
worked centuries ago and which were
reclaimed by Professor Alexander
Agassiz. son of the famous Swiss
scientist who care to this country
in the middle OK the last century.
Copper mining is an industry as
old as the hills, but the demand for
copper reached large proportions only
with the last generation, when the
telehone, the trolley car and the
electric lighting plant came into be-
ing. Invention, ever the child of ne
cessity, produced the art of talking
from house to house, town to town
