PANHANDLE WANTS AGRICULTURAL TONE.
After State Normal School and a State Agri.
cultural Station.

A state normal and a state eX-
pertinent station for the Pan
handle are the two things for
which j. Il. Bowman, Amarillo
representative from the One
Hundred and Sixth district, who
stopped over here this week, will
work at the next session of the
legislature.
There is every reason in the
world why an experiment station
and normal should be establish
ed in the Panhandle said Mr..
Bowman, in speaking of the two
projects, and | believe that the
next legislature will authorize
the establishment of both of
them.
AS it is now, it is from go to
800 miles from any point in the
Panhandle to any state normal.
Many students 90 from that
section now to such schools. and
many more would 90 if normal
were nearer. Besides that,
there are a large number of
students in the lower part of the
state who would like to attend
school in the Panhandle on ac-
count of the crimatic advantages
there. Many students and
teachers from other parts of the
state would like to attend sum
mer school in the Panhandle,
and this state normal would af.
ford the best kind of an oppor-
tunity for such a summer school.
In the same way, none of the
state experiment stations now in
existence are in the Panhandle
field, and no part of the state
needs demonstration and eX.
pertinent stations more than the
Panhandle. Agricultural inter.
ests are rapidly developing there
and condition are different from
what they are anywhere else in
the state.
Il am going to introduce bills
simply for the establishment of
these institutions anywhere in
the Panhandle. Then the state
commission can decide where
they should be located. FIT.

Texas First Newspaper.

SiXty-tive years ago there was
not a newspaper published in the
broad scope of country which
now makes up the imperial State
of Texas. The first paper print.
ed within the bounds Of this vast
territory was in 1913. The jour
nal was known as the Northern
Standard, and it was printed in
GAINESVILLE, then a very small
village. When the paper was
established the Republic OF
Texas was one of the independ'
ent nations of the world. Col.
Charles De Morse, who is remem.
bered by many Of the older citi.
zens of North Texas, was the
editor. Subscription price of the
Standard was $3.50 if paid in
advance, $500 if paid at the end
of six months, and s. if paid at
the end of the year. Honey

Let Bays and Girls Be Equally Moral,

How can any grand jury OF
any other body of intelligent men
hope for such a high standard to
be realized until the conditions
which make for a lower standard
are removed: Evil commune
cations corrupt good morals,
was never truer than today.
How about the smutty jokes and
obscene stories which are told
every day by older men in the
hearing Of young men and boys
in nearly every public building
in Texas: Do the millions Of in
decent and suggestive pictures
Of girls and women which dis
figure all kinds Of public places
in the form of calendars, adver-
Using posters and art panels;
which flood the mails in the form
Of post cards and which are
everywhere Haunted before
youthful eyes by magazines and
newspapers, do anything to in
crease the respect Of young men
for the young girls entrusted
to their company by conhding
parents: Call to mind the fact
that no show or opera troupe
ever exhibits anywhere without
some vulgar insinuation being
forced on the audience in the
form Of a joke, and you may get
some light as to why grand
juries have such a habit Of pick
ing flaws in the conduct Of the
rising generation. Wonder why
grand juries can't do something
20 correct these conditions in
stead of so much generalizing.
4 printed article on dress re
form could hardly be gotten up
without giving oTense to many
who are not aware Of its i'm
portant bearing on the subject in
hand, but since 50 many talented
speakers have told the story 50
well, our efforts would be super
huous. In conclusion, we would
say that no crring girl was ever
reclaimed nor any wayward
young man ever reformed solely
through legal means. We must
find the causes Of the evil and
correct il by their removal, if we
would make the world better. To
lift up the fallen is a noble work,
but it would be doing just as
much good and accomplish more
in the long run if we took some
time to remove the stumbling
blocks from the path of the
young.-Linn County News.

Some of the best pictures since the
introduction of the caricature of His

the woes of a friendless dog. One Of
the set bears the caption, IT'S hell to

ting by the side of a tin can and ask
ing, HAS anybody got a string?" They
are sure to promote a smile anywhere.

Reward Offered

Much inconvenience is caused sub
scribers to daily papers by the sup
posed failure of the carrier boys to
deliver them at the dwellings or Of
fees promptly and regularly Much
of the blame that. is landed on the
boys is misplaced. for investigation
proves that the papers. in most in
stances, have been left all right and
afterwards taken by pilferers. In one
section of the city the theft of Adver-
Users has been traced to young chill
dren who leave their homes early in
the morning for the purpose of gath
ering mangoes. A Lunalilo street sub
scriber to the Advertiser has missed
his paper often lately and was willing
to blame it on the boy, but the other
morning he noticed a nice little black
and tan dog come up on the veranda
and carry off the paper. The act was
repeated the next morning, but the
subscriber was ready for him, and fol-
lowed until the dog went up the steps
of a neighbours house and carefully
deposited the paper at the door. The
reward offered by the Gazette Com
pany does not cover cases of this char
acter. Several paper thieves have
been caught and sent to the Reform
School. but in many other instances a
plea for release has weakened the
hearts of the publishers and the Gull
prits have been sent off with repri-
mand. Thefts of the Advertiser copies
have been more frequent of late, and
the management has grown hardened
to an extent that reward of twenty
five dollars is offered for the arrest
and conviction of any person caught
in the act There will be no more
weakening on appeals by parents and
children: the matter will rest with the
police department and the judge.

Prank Burglars.

The apartments Of IA young lady

masks over their faces. One kept

sol at her, while the other searched

burglars had departed the young
woman gave the alarm. Nothing OF
value was missed. The police pub.
lished a notice in the papers to the
effect that the supposed burglars
we're two high school students. with
the Idea OF rerpetrating IA practical
Joke by frightening the teacher. The
high school students met and passed
resolutions condemning the police
Tor expressing such theory. On
the other hand the officers claim TO
have the proof, shat the culprlts are
prominent young men and they
threaten so swear cut warrants and
prosecute them for burglary, unless
they come forward and confess and
