 Harmon declared that he would the French record of about 1900 miles in his proposed trip from New York. He declared that he had already brok- en the record for speed, having aver aged more than 40 miles an hour in the flight from San Antonio, and that he would undoubtedly have broken the distance record if his balloon had not been interferred with by the mountain currents.

following from more than two thou
sand Smith county citizens:
For more than twenty-five years
Mr.. Johnson, as a citizen of Tyler.
has been universally esteemed in this
community as an honorable and up-
right citizen. Several years ago he
became jealous and devout chris
tian, ever since which time he has
taken active interest in religious af-
fairs, and about which time or soon
afterward he became, as he is now,
an earnest advocate of prohibition.
The people of Smith county know him
to be man of exalted character and
ability. He has always been demo-

ON ECONOMY.

Discussion of the high cost of living
IS bringing out extremes on both sides.
One of the latest is the statement of
a Harvard man that his food costs
him about Is cents a day on an aver
age. The remarkable fact in connec-
ton with this is that he weighs 100
bounds, stands six feet high and is
a football player. His theory is that
the amount eaten is largely a matter
OF habit and that the human body can
be trained to get along on less than
the average man puts into it. This is
rather an old theory. It's opposite is
the theory that unless one gorges he
is safe in eating all that tastes good.
There Is some damage from overeat-
ing and quite a bit of damage among

Mrs. William Cameron and three
children of Waco have made that city
present of one. hundred acre tract
of land along the Brazos river, and
just to the north of the city, which
is to be maintained for all time as a

gift no part of the tract can be used
for private purposes, but must be
kept open to the public This is
great gift, and no doubt the people
of that city fully appreciate it.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

In John, ]. Hamilton's book, THE
Dethronement of the City Boss it is
shown that the tax levy for city pur,
poses in Des Moines for the first year
under commission government was
less than in the last year under the
old charter, yet public improvements
during that first year were made to
the value of $357,75550.
There were material reductions in
the cost of street lighting, though the
system was materially improved. The
streets were kept noticeably cleaner
and the alleys in business sections,
never before cleaned at all, were thor
oughfy cleaned. Though the cost of
cleaning the streets was considerably
reduced the wages of day laborers
were increased from 81 to 1925 and of
men with teams from $3.50 a day to
$3.50.

cited as an example of the economy
and efficiency of commission govern
ment and the success scored in the
first year of administration under the
commission system appears not only
to have been duplicated in succeeding
years, but to have been exceeded, and
so satisfactory have been the results |
that there seems to have
been no sentiment among the citizens
in favor of a change back to the old |
system of municipal government out
side of what is known as the political
machine and its loyal following.
In all the commission governed
cities of the country it is claimed that
results have shown great economy in
expenditures. gains in efficiency of
Administration and largely increased
public improvements without any cor
responding increase in the rate oil
