"What, hop cried Jim. Lets CO."
Their destination reached, they
climbed to the top of the chimney, and
soon masses of brickwork were falling

disturbed by the noise and started to
make a fuss. "Here, Bob" cried Jim,
''you climb down and quiet that fell

down and engaged the indignant man
In conversation.
Suddenly Jim heard Bob calling to
him and, looking down, saw his friend

him to come down. So down Jim

Good Money in MiIlet.

G.. G. Axtel of Spring Lake
neighborhood, whose farm is
near the line in Castro county,
was in Dimmitt Monday to mar
ket his millet, which brought
$3.50 per bushel. Off of 50 acres
he threshed 100 bushels that
netted at the market $3.50.
This was on sod land and the
land costs SIS per acre. breaking
of land - an acre; cutting 81 per
acre and a whole cost of about
S152S on the 50 acres.
After paying for his land and
the cost of planting, harvesting,
threshing, etc, he cleared S122
and the straw, which is not fig
ured with the above, will bring
IS a ton on the ground.
This is one of the many hun
dred of proofs that the first crop
will pay for the land and all ex-
penSes, besides making a good
profit on the first sod crop. -

TEXAN IN TAFT'S CABINET.
Biographical Sketch Of Charles Maggie Who
Will Be in the Presidents
Official Family.

Charles Nagle of st. Louis,
who will be secretary of com
merce and labor in President
Taft's administration, is a native
of Texas and has earned a for
tune in the practice of law in ST.
Louis. He has a clean, honest
record. He was attacked during
the last presidential campaign
for an alleged connection with
the oil trust, but is was shown
that he had merely been appoint
ed attorney for the Wates-Pierce
Oil company in Missouri's custer
suit against it, and had never
appeared in the case. His legal
practice has been largely for
corporations. He is now attor-
ney for the Anheuser Busch
Brewing company. He has
always taken an active part in
politics, being republican.
During the last campaign, in
addition to representing Mis-
souri, in the national committee,
Mr.. Maggie rendered valuable
assistance at national headquar-
ters at Chicago, where it is said
he earned Taft's lasting graft
tude. Just prior to his visit to
Cincinnati a few days ago, where
he saw Taft, he paid a visit to
Pasadena, Cali fornia, to see
Adolphus Busch, presumably to
resign as head of the brewing
company's legal department.
Maggie is suave, mild, liberal in
his estimate of men, and a sue
cessful man of affairs; not one of
the big rich men. Mr.. Maggie
is extremely tall and slender,
thin-faced, brown hair and NOUS
tache, mixed with grey. He was
born in Colorado county, Texas,
August 9, 1910, educated pri-
in the country schools of
Texas, and supplemented with an
academic course in private and
high school in st. Louis, two
years in the University of Berlin,
where he studied Roman law,
political economy, etc.

REAL LIVE PAN HANOleIS."
D. A. r. McKinstsry Tells Of His Trip 10
Texas Panhandle.

Four thousand people passed
through the Kansas City depot
in one day in January bound for
the Panhandle country.
Our party visited five county
seat towns, each of which had
new court houses of modern de.
sign, either completed or under
way, and many business blocks
and residences in course of cree
ton.
We rode hundreds of miles a
cross the country in automobiles
in the central Panhandle counties
and found it one continuous ex-
panse of rich, level and rolling
country, dotted here and there
with thrifty settlers, largely from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
Wheat is sown from Septem.
Der until January-only % to &c
pounds of seed to the acre-and
the yield is from 20 to 80 bushels
per acre. The growing wheat
roots deeply and stools in a won
derful manner. At the elevators
we were shown wheat that weigh.
ed 81 pounds and oats II pounds
to the bushel, and alfalfa loading
for New Orleans market at $50
per ton. Milo maize and Kaffir
corn will make that country rich
if they had nothing else. 1t
produces heavily with little or
no cultivation, stock relishes it
and it is great fat producer.
Experiments show that it makes
fine pancake flour and breakfast
food. AS yet the hone demand
cannot be supplied and foreign
order go begging.
We looked at a standard bred
Hereford herd where it took $500
to lead away a two-year-old and
twice that sum for older ones.
We also visited Il noted hog
ranch where an average of 1000
head is kept, ranging from young
pigs to matured monsters of the
best blood. The ranch was we'll
arranged as to quarters and the
stocks were free from disease.
Stock breeding and stock raising
is gold mine in that country.
We were on the old NJ ranch
which originally comprised about
30 sections, and where tens of
OF cattle were herdcd
by the cowboys for more than a !
century. We picked up relic
in the shape of a pair of weather
beaten buffalo horns which had
probably lain there thirty years
or more. There is S pathetic
history in the passing of the In
dian, the buffalo, the Texas steer
and the cowboy. Like many |
other big ranches in the Panhan-
die this one was sold to a land |
company and has been about all |
retailed out and is fast settling
up. We also saw the ranch of |
Swift, the. noted packer, where |
1000 cattle were living on the |
native grasses and no other feed. |
