KILLED SOME GOOD HOGS

hlLLED COME ONOD f1OOS.
Dodson Times: Since our last issue
there has been some good fat hogs killed
in Dodson. F. T. Walker killed two,
one weighing go pounds and the other
200 pounds, the two totaling SO pounds
Logan Stovall killed one which tipped
the scale beam at 351 pounds, which is
the best record we have heard of so far
this season.
The hogs killed by these two gentle
men were of the Poland China variety
and were little more than two years
old. This shows what can be accom-
plished in this section in the line of hog
raising, which is only one of various in
dustries that could be proftably pur-
sued by our people. If the people Of
this country would raise more hogs and
general line of food crops conditions
would soon improve.

THE AUTOMOBILE AND THE
FARMER

Mansfield Journal: The extent to
which the automobile is being recog-
nized as necessity on the farms of the
West is indicated by the fact that in
central Kansas alone more than 600 mo-
tor cars are owned by farmers. A dozen
years ago the farmer in that region who
owned an extra team and had spring
wagon had the standing of man of
means in his community. Now those
who then looked GENEROUSLY upon the
spring wagon are driving about in auto
mobiles. Orders for at least 100 of the
gasoline vehicles for spring delivery
have been placed in Kansas City and
Topeka.

AFTER FORTY YEARS

After forty years conscience got the

following letter:
About forty years ago. when a mere

If necessary | am ready to appear in

which at 6 per cent interest for forty
years amounts to SLIGO, for which
enclose a draft '-Bossier Banner.
Better late than never. but would he
have made restitution if he did not be-
lieve his eternal welfare was at stake?
Honesty, if announcement. is unquestion
ably the best policy What can a man
do with his money after he is dead and
buried? 1t is 4 pity there are not more
men who as c. Vail of Colby. kans. are
not moved to make restitution, but per-
haps the money gatherer believes that
he has no eternal welfare at stake. and
life to him is scarce worth the living
except he can make money as the YAM
kee advised his son as he started ont in
the world: My son make money. hon
estly if you can. but my son make
money"
It is the deliberate opinion of the
Caucasian that Mr.. Vail should be pre-
sented with full life size chrome Of

ton to the rule. He determined on be-
ing an honest man before he is dead.

SCHOOL BOOKS
Representatives of Large Publishing
Houses in Baton Rouge

The Webster Signal says: Represen-
tatives of the large publishing houses
have been in Baton Rouge during the
past week and it is possible that during
the next several months there will be a
number of them to devote much of their
time to Louisiana. This is done because
of the fact that the regular school book
adoption for the next four years will
take place within the next several
months The State Board of Education
will meet the latter part of this month
and determine the rules upon which the
books are to be submitted and the bids
filed. What the State Board of Educa-
ton will do is matter of speculation.
Whether the present list of books can
be retained, without i11juring the course
of study in the public schools, or where
the course can not be greatly improved
by the adoption of new books, it is GER
tain that the present books will be re-
tanned. No useless changes will be made
in the present course, but the change in
a book means a much greater expense
to the parents who have to buy the
books for their children
This reference to school books, pub
fishing houses and the Board of Educa-
ton is timely. The policy of changing
books is questionable, besides being ex-
pensive to parents having more than one
child attending schools. There should
be no change in books unless it be i'm
peratively necessary.

THE MISSOURI SENATORSHIP
MIDDLE.

New Orleans States: AS a result of
the senatorial situation in Missouri be-
ing tangled the prospect is for some in
teresting movements and developments
when the Legislature meets next month.
1t appears that Senator Stone won out
in the senatorial primary by slim ma
jority over Governor Folk, but nearly
all the Legislative districts carried by the
Democrats gave Fold majority, and
the votes that nominated Stone for the
senatorship came from ST. Louis, Kan
sas City and other cities. 1t is charged,
however, that not only did the lawless
classes vote for him but gross frauds
were committed in his interest and the
evidence shows it.
Whether this be true or not, bitter
war between the Stone and Folk fac
tons seems inevitable, and the Republi-
cans are preparing to turn the situation
to their own profit The Legislature is
Democratic on joint ballot by only seven
votes, but the Republicans control the
House and contests have been filed in
ten districts, the apparent purpose being
to unseat enough Democrats in the
House to give the Republicans major
ity on joint ballot The latter charge
that the same frauds that enabled Stone
to defeat Folk also elected several Dem
rs no
The supporters of Stone are afraid
that the Republicans will so manipulate
the situation as to secure a majority of
the Legislature on joint ballot, hence
one proposition is to give them the Lieu
tenant Governoship which they appar-
emily lost by small majority in ex-
change for their withdrawal of the con-
tests for the House seats.

,ep<d many a Happy New Year;
But each in his heart is thinking
| Of those that are not here. y
| Yes, the secret anniversaries of the
heart, the hottest OF all holidays, are
| those kept in silence and apart, when
the full river of feeling overflows. A
deeply solemn anniversary always is the
passing of the old year 1t is customary
by some to keep it sole1nnly; by others
merrily, feasting and drinking, celebrat-
ing the death wake of the year. 10 the
reflective those last few hours that mark
the passing of the year are deeply SOL
e1nn, even sad and the mysterious flight
of the hours can almost be felt. Let us
hope that the old years sorrow was
cast off, and that into the great gulf of
the past were forever consigned all envy
and strife and unhappiness. The old
year is gone; the new year only is ours
now. May we meet it with a conscience
void of offense, and in love and charity
with all Let us hail with bright wishes
the new year, and pray for the broader
thought, the better. kinder feeling. In
the good time coming may there be no
rich nor poor. no prisons or pens to
make men better; no slavery of work
for women and children, but happy,
contented people living well on this
earth the life God has given.
Enter upon thy paths O year!
Thy paths which all who breathe must
tread"
And bring us as the shadows move
over the dial plate of time, regenerated
hearts and the true prosperity that
comes from plain living, high thinking
and right doing.
