Teach Your Boys to Work.

The father who raises son to
manhood and neglects to teach
him some avOcation by which he
can earn living makes serious
and some times fatal mistake.
The big, brawny, strapping
young fellow, in blue Overalls,
with bare arms, black with coal
dust and grease, who sings a
heavy sledge hammer eight or
ten hours a day, or heaves tons
after tons of coal into the flaming
furnace, may not look quite so
neat and sweet and kissable as
the spider-legged dude in tailor
made clothes, but when it comes
down to real bread and meat

is lost in the shuttle. No matter
particularly what trade or avOca-
ton man follows, just so it is
honest or legitimate, and then
has the inclination and ability to
do the task we'll A first-clasS

1t is well to teach the boys a
trade, but it is not necessary or
desirable to belittle in their sight
the benefits of a good education.
There are plenty of vagabonds
who never saw the inside of a
college wall, and an investiga.
ton will reveal the fact that the
great majority of the successful
men in almost every walk of life
are men who have had the bene-
fit of liberal education. Every
boy should be taught that it is
perfectly honorable to shovel
coal or swing an axe, but at the
same time he should be taught
that there are other things
equally as honorable and vastly
better. Ii rests with him wheth-
err he will be content to prepare
himself to heave coal or to do

Texas Dit Changing Hands.

900 worth of land has been sold
on the line of the Texas and Pa
cific between Fort Worth and r
Paso since Jan. /, 1909. This
does not include land trades for
real estate elsewhere, but repre-
sent straight sales. This is con
sidered a remarkable showing
considering that it is only along
one line of railway leading to the
rapidly developing section of the
State, and the further fact that
real estate transactions have not
been at their best on account OF

year. Exchange.

CAMPBELL SOIL CULTURE.
Judge Kinder Of PIainyiew, Writes interestingly
Of the Experiment Farm Near Plainvew.

In a letter to r. B. Hobert. of
Pampa, of date June %. Judge
Kinder says in part:
Il have been very much inter
ested in this institution since its
establishment here a year ago
and have closely watched the
methods followed by Mr.. Camp
bell in the cultivation of the soil.
| had not been to the farm for
about two weeks at the time /
received your letter, but on Sat
urday, the 10Th, | went out there
and made close investigation
of conditions of his crops at this
time. The farm is located about
two and a.half miles north of
town, and as you understand, is
being farmed under contract
with the Plainview people. Brief.
| ", the conditions of this con.
tract are that he agrees to raise
an average of thirty bushels
each, per year of corn, wheat
and oats. If he does this, at the
end of five years, this farm of
800 acres is decided to him. All
his crops are now in splendid
condition. Yet the soil was not
prepared as he wanted it, it be.
ing sod land the grass roots were
still in the soil and this prevent
ed the holding of the moisture,
and it escaped constantly through
the different air holes, caused by
the grass roots. This prevented
the wheat from spreading as
it would, and there is not a
full stand; yet it is in fine shape,
very large heads, and fine well
developed grain, and there seems
to be no doubt that the crop, of
| should say 40 acres, will yield
at least 20 bushels per acre.
This is a very remarkable show.

that this has been one of the dry.
est and windiest years the cOun-
try has ever seen. In my opin.
ion this has been the most I'M
favorable season for wheat rails.
ing this country has had during
the q years have lived at this
place.
"Mr. Campbellthis year, under
the most adverse conditions, has
absolutely demonstrated that
any one who will follow his
method of soil culture, can raise
wheat here and plenty of it, any
year that comes.
When we were out at the
farm the other day, we met an
expert of one of the western
railroads, engaged in an examin.
alton of the soil, the amount of
moisture, etc. At this time he
was about the center of the
wheat field and had already made
quite a number of tests, and he
stated to US that he was very
much surprised, and found the
crop of wheat beyond what he
had looked for. He stated to US
that according to actual tests in
places he found as much as six
feet of moisture, a sufficient
amount to produce a crop Of
wheat any year. The oats and
corn are in equally as good condi.
ton and promise a splendid
yield"

WASHINGTON, June l9.-The con.
frmation of Circuit Judge George w.

last Wednesday, and he is now fully
qualified to assume his duties on the

may not be till toward the end of next
month.
Originally Judge Woodruff planned to
leave San Francisco June "a, but the
delay in his confirmation precluded
that. He has now found that it may be
impracticable to take any of the ships
sailing during the first half of July
and may not sail till July %, which is
the date for the Mongolia. Mrs. Wood.
ruff expects to accompany him.
The Treasury Department has desig-
mated fifteen architects TO prepare de-
signs for the new public building to
cost 100000 at Honolulu. The designs
must be in by September 10, when they
will be judged by the following gentle.
men: Nathan c. Wyeth, of this city;
w. G. Noting, of Baltimore; Glenn

the fnny tribes ordinarily known to
persons living out of tropical climes.

"solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these" declared
the speaker, solemnly. "Those fellows
with the long beaks are sure enough

The ones he referred to have beaks
three inches long, as long as their
bodies, and are of iilmy gray color,
shot through with pink. Others are
of the brightest blue with yellow
stripes. some are mottled all over in
gold and brown and blue and red.
Some are gray and white, like guinea
fowl, with tall plumed fins above and
