MUCH BROOMCORN
GROWN IN TEXAS
Factories May Soon Be
Built For the Manu-
facture of BroOmS.

Austin, Texas, Oct 2e.-The reports
received by the state department. of
agriculture show that the development
that is being made in the broomcorn
industry, particularly in south Texas,
will, in few more years, place that re-
gion in the front rank as a grower Of
first class brush for the manufacture
of brooms. Remarkable success is be-
ing met with in a number of localities
raising this product and the acreage
was more than doubled in the state this
year.
The lower Rio Grande valley will
soon become a competitor with the
NATION, H., district in the quantity of
1.-THE annual yield It is already produc-
ing a quality Of brush equal to the
best in the country, IL is claimed.
The Espiritu-Santos Plantation COM
pany of San Benito. Texas, has 215
acres Of broomeorn this year. H V.
Watts, manager of the company, writes
concerning the crop:
The average yield upon our land
was about one-third of a ton to the
acre per crop or a total of two-thirds
of a ton for the season on each acre
of our 215 acres. We have planted
both standard and dwarf varieties and
prefer the former. The acreage plant
ed in broomcorn in the San Benito
section this year was 500 to 1000 acres.
and in the balance of the Rio Grande
valley there were 400 to SOC acres"
Plans are on foot for the establish
ment Of a number of broom factories
IN different parts Of the state. 1t is
claimed that there is an opening in
south Texas for the establishment of
broom factory of sufficient capacity to
supply the trade of Mexico and posi-
bly, Central and South America coun-
tries. At present one-hah Of the brooms
of the world are made by a dozen facto-
ries. One of these factories, situated
at Paris, Ill, has daily output Of

MAY BRING MEAT
OVER FROM MEXICO

Acting on instructions received from
the treasury department at Washing
ton, collector A. L. Sharpe has issued
an order directing that meat being
brought to the United States from
Mexico, be admitted upon the payment
OF duty. The department Of agricul-
ture has waived the regulation requir
ing a certificate of inspection for suca
meats.
The department has agreed to recog-
nize the certificate of inspection Of
Romulo Escobar, Of Ciudad Juarez, IN
order to allow it to pass, but the duty
must be paid. Before the ban was
placed on Juarez meats because Of lack
OF inspection, small amounts were ad
rnitted duty free. Now, all importations
will have to pay duty and the certifi-
cate of inspection from Sr. Escobar
must accompany all importations.

Last Week for Census.

This week will bring to a close one
of the most important events that Nor
folk has known in ten years-the TAX
ing of the federal census. The count
being made at this time will stand for
the next ten years as the figures show
ing Norfolk's population to the out
side world, and upon those figures de-
ponds dollars and cents to practically
every business interest and every
property holder in Norfolk.
Fear is expressed on all sides that
the count will not be complete-that
there will be residents who are missed
by the enumerators. And for this rea-
son it is pointed out by Census Super
visor Hays of this district that the cit
liens of the town should take an &C
tive interest in helping to make the
count a complete one.
1t is urged that people who have not
been counted, report the matter at
once to the enumeratOrs, either Ed
Harter or H. G. Wiles, or report the
same to The News.
Those who have friends who have
not been counted, are urged to do the
same.
Unless this is done. Norfolk will
come a long way from the 5000 mark.
Sioux City is complaining that her
enumeration has fallen 5000 short of
the true count and the supervisor is
blaming the Commercial club and
business men there for not having
taken a more active interest in the
matter. Throughout the Pacific coast
country commercial clubs and the bust
ness men of every town are working
with all their energy to make the
count as big as possible. It's the big
gest event with them in ten years, for
they realize the widespread import
ance of the census figures.
1t has been suggested that the Com
mercial club might well provide all
school children with blanks that could
be filled out at home, and thus help
to avoid missing people.
Norfolk will not have another
chance for ten years to take federal
census and this, the last week, should
be made a stem winder people be-
lieve.
One loyal citizen, DR.. Bear, came
back to Norfolk from Virginia several
weeks in advance of his originally
planned date, just to get himself and
his family counted in Norfolk.

KAISER AGAINST BEER!
Tells Young Student GuzzIing Will
Prove Curse of Nation.

Berlin, May 9.-The kaiser is being
applauded by one section of German
opinion and condemned by the other
for his recent sharp condemnation of
the beer swilling habits" of German
students.
His criticism did not take the form
of an eXcathedra denunciation like his
past structures on gambling and high
living in the army, but was addressed
to a son of Professor Ebhardt, who
is freshman at the Freburg univer.
sity, and who had just joined the stu
dents corps in which the ability to
drink great quantities of beer is one
of the first qualifications of popularity.
The emperor earnestly warned the
lad that the drinking habit was seri-
ously damaging not only individual
students but the German nation, with
the result that both were falling be.
hind foreigners, particularly the Amer.
leans and the English, who, in conse-
quenCe of their more sensible ideas
regarding drinking by youths, showed
in later years much greater powers of
resistance in the battle of life.
His majesty pointed out that Ger.
mans with their increasing world en-.
terprises, would be more called upon
to live and work in tropical ATTITUDES,
where the climate was exceedingly
dangerous to men who in their youth
had been addicted to alcohol.
The emperor's attitude is heartily
commended by thoughtful people, in
Guiding many students themselves, but
is treated with ridicule by the adher.
ents to bibulous traditions.

USING ROLLER ON COAL TAR ROAD.
From Good Roads Magazine New York
for climatic reasons it is available to
treat the road with the idea of its last
ing only through one season water gas
tar is expected to prove valuable
dust layer, and any extension of its
use is thought to lie in this direction.
The value Of coal tar in the preserva-
ton of macadam roads and as a dust
preventive is proved by the fact that
in the majority of cases the life of a
treated road has been materially
heightened, and by applying tar the
complete rebuilding of many roads at
an enormous expense has been avoided.
\ great drawback in the standard
izatiOn of tar treatment is the impos-
Sibility of securing a uniform supply

product, and the processes by which
it is derived are never run with refer
ence to the quality of tar produced.

Upon as an Insult.
Omaha, May 9.-Never again VIII
William S. Sheldon, member OF the
Omaha city council, attempt to fright
en- away footpads by yelling unless he
is positive of what he is saying.
A couple of night ago Mr.. Sheldon
was going home from late council
meeting and when within couple of
blocks of his home he was accosted by
a couple of men who thrust revolver
into his face and commanded him to
throw up his hands.
Instead of putting up his hands the

screamed, Help! Burglars! Thieves!"
One footpad started to run and Shell
don kept on screaming. Then the
other started for the woods, and still
Sheldon yelled, adding the words,
Help and Succor" to his cries.
AS he gave vent to his alarm by cry
ing "Succor" the foOtpads stopped and
then returned after which they went
through his pockets, taking his purse
and watch, remarking to him that they
intended to let him alone, but when
he insulted them by calling them

Mr.. Latta's Letter.

Fremont Tribune: Congressman
Latta, in lieu of personal attendance,
sent a voluminous letter to be read at
a bourbon banquet held at Emerson.
1t was a formal discharge of an Off
cial courtesy that was due to the ban
queters, but of course they knew he
didn't write the letter. A good many
are familiar with his autograph let
tiers and they know he can neither
write nor spell-that he cannot frame
the simplest epistle without violating
the rules of photography and commit
ting hara-kiri on good old Lindley Muir
ray. There are many men in Wash
ington who make living writing the
things for statesmen to palm off as
their own, and good old Uncle JIM
who spent approximately $4,000 for
his election, has the dough to buy the
stuff.
