But / am much more happier now
Because l love you dear.
I spent last Christmas Dav out to sea,
Far, far away from land.
But / nope to spend this one with you
And hold your precious hand.
Now next year we will have a Christmas,
Let us hope In our happy home,
Where you and / will be one dear
Like a king upon his throne.
Perhaps some Christmas we may have a

And a little one with MS will share.
Let us nope we always will be happy
And all who cometh there.

With love within my heart.

Our farmers are commencing to
grow cotton with good results n
in another year the cotton crop will
amount to thousands of bales. Fine
cantaloupes and toothsome celery
are produced and thousands OF acres
of land that up to five years ago was
considered a desert INT incapable of
producing crops, is now covered with
homes of prosperous farmers and sup
port them, giving them a good living
and allowing them to save money off
their crops. Feed crops are good; es-
|pecia1ly do corn, milo maize, maize,
kafir corn and millet do very we'll,
and these crops are good for feeding
cattle and hogs. Many places where
it was thought water could not be
had now have powerful artesian wells
and many new wells are being drilled
and a good supply of water is reach
ed from fifty to two hundred feet.
The catt1emen use such wells to wa
ter their cattle and pump with gaso-

HOW ROOSEVELT WON.

The man from Oyster Bay needs
no advice in handling matters of pub
licity. He has a keen of journ-
alistic values, a marvellous facility for
making and keeping journalistic
friendships, and thorough knowledge
of offensive and defensive trouble
making, says Lindsay Denison in
Hampton's Broadway Magazine.
When Roosevelt was governor-elect
of New York in 1898, certain leading
politicians of his own party conspir.
ed secretly for a campaign of legisla-
tive persecution against the brewing
interests of the state, which had not
supported the Republican ticket. The
program was not n which Theodore
Roosevelt could tolerate, yet it was
politically essential that he should
not SO early have al open quarrel
| with his party leaders. One morning
the news of the whole plot against
the brewers and Mr.. R%oosevelt's op
position to it appeared in a violently
partisan Democratic newspaper. The
Republican party leaders fed to GOV
er like scared rabbits. The story
couldn't be true, they sqealed, print
ed in a Democratic paper; and they
abandoned their program The cover
nor-elect smiled his most expansive
smile. He didn't have to deny any
thing. He didn't have to fight his
leaders. He had outf1anked them with
out firing a gun.

SHABBY TREATMENT OF

manager, and h stated that he did
not know the line of march decided
upon, but tina they usually had their
parade to go by the schools. This did
not satisfy me, and l went down to
see the manager myself. l was not
able to see him, but saw his head
ticket nan and he talked in a flip

swer. l next saw Mrs. Norris, and she
was very courteous and told me it
was their usual custom to go by the
schools with their parade, and h
said she would speak to Mr.. Norris
about the matter. Thinking that the
parade would pass by the Central

the proper time, had 500 school chill

You have all been children and
enjoyed going to the circus, and you
still enjoy it; you may hen imagine
the feelings of disappointment on the
part of our children when the news
came that the parade had passed us
by. This is the first time in my scohol

political apathy exists in that Repub-

vania law registration for the general
election began last week, and COM
parsons are made with the registra-
