REV. WHITE IMPROVING.
Reports State That Minister Is Recovering from
Effect Of Battle with Irate Parent

In our last weeks issue We
mentioned an encounter between
Rev. J. D. White of Clarendon
and a citizen of the town of Pam
pa in which the preacher came
off second best and was consid-
erably bruised and hurt inward
ly. Reports to this city this
week states that Rev. White is
improving slowly but that he is
still confined to his bed for the
greater portion of the time. He
was badly beaten up about the
face and head while he sustained
internal injuries which will take
some time to cure.
Rev. White was, until recently,
pastor of the Christian church
of this city and was well liked
here and the unseemly conduct
on the part of the parent who so
badly used Mr.. White, is very
greatly deplored here. The con-
duct of Mr.. White is greatly to
be admired as he showed
throughout the Christian spirit
with which he is dominated and
the citizens of this town and
country hope for the speedy re
covery of their friend.

JOLLlfICATION LAST FRIDAY.
PIeasantyiew Community Enjoy Day of Picnic
to Full Extent-Peny to Eat and Hear

Recently the people of Pleasant
view school community which is
in this county and south of this
city, completed the best school
house for a country district in
the entire Panhandle, the house
having cost in the neighborhood
of $500 complete. These peO-
pie are proud Of their achieve
ment and in order to celebrate
the finishing of the building they
give an old fashioned basket pic
mic at the new building last Fri
day.
People were there from all Ov-
er the county and from some of
the adjoining counties also. Many
went out from Canyon City
and when they came back they
reported most enjoyable time.
They said that there was more
fried chicken and good things to
eat at that picnic than they had
ever seen before which goes to
make the News man wish that
he could have gotten off to go
down. But such is life.
Anyhow those who went had
no cause to regret their trip. A
nice program for the occasion
had been arranged, County
Judge A. n. Henson, and Assis-
tant County Attorney w. j.
Flesher making the principal
addresses from the outsiders.
After dinner a baseball game be-
tween the Nina team and the
high school team from Canyon
City claimed the attention of the
visitors, a report of the game be-
ing given in another column of
this paper.
To get back to the origin of
the celebration, it is said that
the building which these people
have erected for educational pur-
poses would compare very favor
ably with that of many of the
towns in this section of the state.
1t is large and commodious, well
ventilated and is arranged so
that community high school
may be provided for should such
a school become necessary.

MILO MAIZE IN SOUTHWEST.
Writer in West Texas Paper Gives Some Inter-
esting Information.

An article handed the Banner
by G. M. Head discusses to some
length milo maize. Among 9th
er things the following is said:
Milo, commonly called milo
maize, or maize, is of the sor
ghum family but has a very
small percentage of sugar in the
stalk, 1t is very scant forage
which is one of its characteris-
tics.
1t is grown for the grain
which is an excellent substitute
for maize or common corn. CThe
composition of maize and corn
are almost identical.) 1t is excel
lent for feeding all kinds of
stock, giving best results when
maize is chopped or ground. 1t
is also fine feed for fowls. 1t
was imported to the United
States about 1857 and was first
grown in Georgia. The first eX
periments in growing this grain
proved unsatisfactory and it was
tried in other parts of the coun-
try until it found its natural ele-
ment in the plains country Of
west Texas. 1t may be interest
ing to our farmers to know that
it has not been grown success
fully outside of an area compris-
ing west Texas and small por-
ton of western Oklahoma, south
western Kansas and eastern
New Mexico.
When first introduced it had
a habit of Suckering or branding
similar to oats or wheat but by
careful selection of seed this has
been overcome and now grows
single stalk toa uniform height
of from to 6 feet and is easily
harvested with headers or row
binders. Milo does well at an
elevation above 1900 feet and UNI
der 5000 feet above sea level, and
as previously stated the proven
field is in western Texas -es-
pecially the south plains.
The soil requirements for milo
is about the same as for corn
sandy or clay loan being prefer
able. 1t should be planted any
time from May - to July - in a
well prepared seed bed.
Milo yields from 40 to so bush
els per acre and the grain weighs
bO pounds per OuShel, tlle same
as wheat. Its feeding value is
the same as corn for all farm
stock and is very much sought
by feed manufacturers, being
made into chops and mixed
feeds. The market value is 81.
to 1.25 per hundred pounds
threshed, not threshed $1,000 to
$1,000 per ton.
Milo grows in west Texas like
a weed and it is one of the crops
that will make this land worth
from $50 to 500 per acre in al
short time. Baylor County Ban

SEWERAGE VOTES COUNTED.
City Council Declares Results Of Bond Election
Held Recently-CongratuIates Citizens.


counted noses, as we might say,
with relation to the election held
for determining about the is
Suance of bonds for waterworks
and sewerage system. They
found that the votes stood with
90 in favor of the bond issue and
~ against, the same that was
given out to the public the after
noon of the election.
After the results of the cleo
ton was declared, Mayor JAS
per n. Haney made a short talk
to the council in the way of an
address, which address we give
in full, as follows:
| congratulate you and the live
people of this city upon the
splendid result and significance
of the vote just now officially an
nOunced. 1t means much, very
much more than | can ask space
to recount here for the rapid
growth and development of this
little city. This vote is very de-
cisive of one step Il may say the
second step forward and up
ward to construct a first class
city here and if not the largest,
certainly the cleanest and most
healthy and best place for live
people to resideat, either young,
middle aged or old capitalist or
poor. We must now take sever
al other steps forward and a few
long strides. We will get the
State Normal if it falls to the
Plains and program will be
submitted in a few days to ac-
complish that object. We must
have and will get, if we go after
them, the state and national ex-
pertinent stations. After a few
more proper doing of things, we
as a city will grow by gravity, or
rather people will be attracted
here and will push the structure
on the foundation we have laid.
One mistake we have made
heretofore was in waiting for en-
terprising and moneyed men to
come in and pay us enormous
prices for our miles of unim-
proved territory after which we
expect them to do the things we
must do to make a city. The
mountains and waste plains all
over the world are studded with
thousands of Natural Advan-
tages. but like gems in a lost
Jewel. one worthless until dis
covered and utilized. Now every
man, every business. every
brain and every energy should
get busy. We must live here
land | hope we will all die here
when our time comes). We will
be silly if we over look the fact
that here, now, hereafter and al
ways and everywhere we will
have strong, well organized, spir-
tied opposition at every step we
offer to take to advance the great
est interest for the greatest
number of our people.
The excuses and so-called rea-
sons for such opposition are null
tifariOus and more numerous
than the shapes and colorS of
the stones in the Kaleidoscope.
Such conditions everywhere rec
ognized must not deter but slim
ulate us to duty and action. We
must move up and onward. The
man or men whose hide or hides
are too thin to turn the shafts
and darts of severe, even cruel
criticism is not the material for

ELKS' HIGH links
FOR THIS EVENING

The local lodge of Elks has arranged
for one of its most elaborate jinks to
be held this evening after the regular
lodge meeting. There will without
doubt be one of the largest crowds
present that have ever been entertained
by the ElSs at one time, for the pro-
gram, as given in circular sent out
to the members is exceedingly interest
ing. BONNIE, the motion picture man,
will show some pictures which have
never been seen before in Hawaii;
while Messrs. Armstrong and Verne,
two professional theatrical lights, who
have been amusing the public at the
operahouse for some time, will also do
a turn that they have not given before
the regular footlights.
Fuguimoto, or "'Seymore DoOlittle't
as he is called because. the more you
is professional japanese juggler, and
is said to be one of the very finest
of his class. He is on the bill for a
number of puzzling tricks.
The entertainment committee asks
each member to come and to bring with
him a roll of music for the new cecelian
player piano, recently installed in the
Elks' club; and it is expected in this
way to secure a large addition to the
musical library of the lodge. The com
mittee asks, however, that no member
remain away because of lack of the
aforementioned roll Of music.
This smoker will probably be the last
entertainment of the kind by the Elks
until after the holidays.
