FOWLER VERSUS ALDRICH.

The Fowler bill goes to the House in
banking and currency, the vote in COM
mittee being IL yeas and 5 nays. Near
ly all the Republicans in the committee
supported the Fowler bill.
This pits the Fowler bill against the
Aldrich bill, and the tussle in the
House promises to be warm and ex-
citing. The Fowler bill is a compre-
hensive measure, while the Aldrich
bill is a mere piece of patchwork.
The Aldrich bill calls for an emer-
gency issue OF $500, OOO, 900 based on
municipal or railroad bonds, and it is
especially pleasing to Wall street and
the northeastern States, all of which
are loaded up with the securities named
in the Aldrich bill. No one claims the
Aldrich bill would operate to prevent
a panic-it would however be useful in
the East after a panic had occurred.
The Fowler bill aims to create an
assets currency from the ground up.
Any National Bank may take out notes
not exceeding 200 per cent of its capital
stock. Such notes are to be taxed 2 per
cent. This tax constitutes a guaranty
fund covering both the assets notes and
the deposits of National Banks. After
the guaranty fund reaches $25, 900 900
the money is to be invested in govern
ment Is at 1O4.
The Fowler bill is vastly better and
fairer to all sections, and it remains to
be seen whether it or the plutocratic
down-east A1drich bill will be preferr-
ed by the Republican party. Both are
now squarely before Congress, and the
people will pass upon the wisdom Of
it's choice.

CLARIFIED A POINT.

The determination of the Seaboard
! railroad to offer a rate of 2 cents a mile
to parties of ten or more is the begin
ming Of a reform that will permit theat-
rical parties, baseball teams and dele
gates to travel at rates that are not to
some extent prohibitive. The other
railroads in the southeast have decided
to meet the rate announced by the Sea-
board, and thus the blockade disap-
pears, and affairs will become normal
again among travellers in the south
east.
Step by step transportation problems
are being adjusted, and in the course
of the present year no doubt all that
remain will be satisfactorily settled.
The Seaboard certainly clarified a point
when it determined to give parties of
ten or more the advantage Of lower
rates. This is not the application of a
new rule or principle, for parties have
been carried at lower than individual
rates ever since the first railroad was
built.

CULTIVATION OF THE CROP.
In about eight to ten days after the
plants are set out in the open field,
they will be so well established that
cultivation should begin by running a
furrow on each side of the row with a
single horse turning pillow, the bar OF the
pillow being run as closely as possible to
the plants without disturbing the roots
and so e~ndangering their vitality This
leaves a narrow ridge with the plants
standing on it. Hoes are then brought
into requisition to scrap away any grass
or weeds that may nave made their ap-
pearance. 1t is a good practice to draw
q little dirt up around the plants after
breaking the crust which generally
crowns the top of the ridge. This initial
working is probably the most important
For subsequent working cultivators may
be run at intervals of a week or ten days
both ways through the tobacco. This is
is now the practice of the best tobacco
growers to use level cultivation. 1t was
once thought necessary to put a sup
porting hill around each plant at the
first cultivation: This practice las neen

WE WILL HAVE A FAIR,

Amarillo will have Panhandle
fair this fall.
The question is practically settled.
It was settled in a day.
Amarillo has reached point
where It does not take much time to
settle a question like that OF a fair,
All we have to do is to show our
people that We need something, and
they proceed TO get it.
The fair is to be started on a solid
financial basis with view to making
It permanent institution.
There is much of promise in the
fair proposition. While we have
heretofore told the people of the
word--or tried TO tell them-what
we can do in the Panhandle we have
never made any great effort to show
them.
Seeing is believing" holds good
in all cases except in a shell game,
Even in the shell game the gambler
depends on his eyes to win, but the
shell game artist is too quick-fin-
gered for ordinary eyes.
At fair we can show up the pro-
ducts OF our country, Our Panhan-
die cattle have more than held their
own in the sotck exhibits of the
world. Our hogs, horses, sheep and
poultry will stand comparison with
those Of any other section. Our
farm products and fruits we have no
reason to be afraid to show up.
Incidentally we have some speed
in Panhandle horse flesh that wants
only a chance to come to the front
Not all may believe in horse-racing
but goodly number of our people
enjoy such sport. Eliminate the bet
ting IL you want to, and there Is nc
harm in a heat for honors.
We must have fair and we will
have one. The gentlemen who are
promoting the enterprise are on th'
right track. They ought to have th'
support OF all the people.

she took IN shooting only about four

without seeming difficulty she mas

ly and easily Her first public APP
pearancc was at the Worlds Fair in
St Louis, where with a Winchester
Automatic rifle she broke 967 out OF
1000 az Inch fying targets,
Besides being wonderful trick
and fancy shot she is a consistent
performer at the trap. Everywhere
she has appeared she has made fine
scores and in many instances beaten
professional shots Of the opposite
sex.
Among her scoCes are 90 out Of
100 at an open tournament in Kan
sas City; 2i5 out Of $50; 3S5 out
Of 400; ABA out of $50; ass out Of
500 targets at unknown angles (this
record she shot at 16 yards, the
time occupied being hours and 20
minutos) She scored 1875 targets
in open tournament, and has made
a straight run Of 1873 targets. on
several occasions she has broken
100 straight or better. she has also
won many averages in open competi-
ton at the trap, something no other
lady shot has ever done.
During 1905 Mrs. Topperwein shot
at a total Of 1905 targets under va
rious conditions breaking $500,
nearly half Of this number being shot
at regular tournaments,
Her longest run for 1907 was
made at sulphur, |. t. when she
scored 113 straight.
