PANHANDLE SWINE
BREEDING FARM

Il have been In the hog business
all my life and the Panhandle is the
best hog country ever saw" Is
what W. J. Duffie now OF West Tex
as, had to say about Panhandle hog
possibilities the other day during
call at the Daily Panhandle office.
Mr.. Duffie is one OF the best known
swine breeders in Texas and his
breeding farms have produced show
stuff and stock stuff that Is bringing
the hog industry In Texas into a new
period OF prosperity. He breeds eS-
pecially Poland China hogs but his
experiments have had to do with
feeding hogs OF all ages and kinds
and on all suitable rations. He is
now looking for a location In the
Panhandle and is preparing to open
a modern breeding farm here.
i've been watching this Panhan-
die, all of II through the papers for
a long time and / expect I know as
much about some things here as some
OF you that live here" he continued
in speaking OF his plans. 81 know
your railroad advantages here at
Amarillo because 1--we studied out the
maps and have looked over your
location with respect to the rest OF
the country. But mainly have been
watching the possibilities for hogs
here and believe know what
gay when I say that the Panhandle
is great hog country. E
When I get my pace here ] want
to go into experiments with the kind
OF feeds YOU raise here. For instance
! would feed a lot Of hogs ON what
was raised from an acre OF kaffir
corn, or from alfalfa or from any
other product or from different COM
blnations and then / could figure out
which feed or. combination would
bring the sreatest return for breeders

HIS STEWARDSHIP.

Attorney General Robert Vance
Davidson in booklet indited To the
Democrats OF Texas, gives most ex-
haustiye account OF his stewardship,
in which he says that though the or
binary routine work OF the depart
ment is quite exacting in its char
acter and extent, still he feels proud
of his record.
owing to the fact that the Twenty
ninth and Thirtieth legislatures
placed upon the state books more
constructive Legislation than any 9th
er two legislatures in the history Of
the state, there has arisen from all
quarters an unprecedented demand
upon the attorney generals depart
rnent for opinions constituting the
laws thus enacted, and this depart
ment has also been confronted with
an unparalleled volume OF litigation
in tile courts involving many complex
and intricate questions as to the con
stitutionality and proper construc-
ton Of many OF these statutes Such
litigation has covered a very extern
siye field in addition to the laws en-
acted by the last two legislatures,

POLITICS FOR
CHRISTIANS
Rev. N. A. Smith breaches
Socialist Doctrine 10
Amarillo Audience
From Tuesdays DAily)


Rev. NJ. A. Smith, the Socialist
state organizer, delivered An inter
estinE sermon Sunday night at the
Socialist hall 10 congregation OF
both sexes. His text was from Mat
thew 22:21 and was used to en-
courage Christians to participate in
politics and economics, and to i'm
press the equal Importance OF the
substance of physical and spiritual
man, and OF collective or social, as
we'll as individual righteousness.
After the service the reverend gem
tleman was prevailed upon to call
in other appointments and to give
Amarillo another date next Wednes-
day night when he will speak at the
courthouse.
or the services Mr., J, l.. Caldwell
has 10 say as follows:
"I attended, and am glad OF the
accident or incident. am not a So
ciallst, but a Democrat, deeply dip
ped in the Bryan coloring; or you
might say of the Tom L. Johnson
Bryan-Henry George coloring. But

Indeed It was exactly aprOpros OF
the needs OF the times. II was an
awakening appeal, bugle call to ac-
ton in behalf OF organized society;
for equal rights; for the abolition
OF the prevailing poverty that en-
genders the threatening strife
throughout the world.
"of course some pungent illusions
were made but they we're necessary;
some Goals OF fire were applied, but
for Bible purposes, nothing in an
ger or to offend but as Paul would
say TO provoke to better conduct.
"The preacher suggested no party
methods or school OF belief to bring
about the reforms. His purpose was
to show up the great needs, and when
that is seen the common sense Of
society would find a plan TO supply
them. He presumed his audience
we're Christians, IF not more is the
pity and he felt free to point out
their short comings, as the most use
full as we'll as the most acceptable
service he could render them.
REV. Smith vas for many years
a presiding elder OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, Indian Ter
ritory conference, and can now be
termed, facetiously 1t may be, a re-
formed preacher. Anyhow In magni-
tude he has a head OF horse sense,
and heart as big as a beef.
'of course, myself being an ardent
single taxer, and the preacher con-
filming his remarks to free land

Democracy-was exceptionally pleas
ed, But from the demonstrations,
both during services and at the con-
clusion, I think can safely say the
