FARMING IN TEXAS AMID
 ALL THE MODERN COMFORTS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. IT, Special Civilization in its most up to date phases has followed the turning of the cattle ranches and ranges in Texas into farms The phase wrestling the Last Frontier iron the wilderness is misleading in tAe mental picture it conveys for there is none of the danger and hardship so dramatically at tendAnt upon the settling of the west. The big farm today in Texas is reached by forty-horse power automobile that goes flashing over good roads, through mesquite thick cts and live oak and pecan forests, or climbs the hill where the cactus and the Spanish dagger are the only signs of vegetation. A farm. house, lighted by electricity, cooled by electric fans. furnished with ice iron its own plant and with porce- lain tubs and flowing water affords the farmer as many comforts as he could procure in the city. Not only that but, by irrigation plants water is made to flow up the hill, crops are harvested by machinery and in nine out of ten large ranch houses may be found a telephone.
 It Is a new era in farming in Texas. Many of these new farms have been started. redeemed from the wilderness, within the past three or four years Wealthy farm CTS fn the northern states have come to southwest Texas, either for reasons of health, preferring a climate that gives them summer in the midst of winter, or else from realization of the greater oppor- tunfties when the soil is producing twelve months in the year through a rotation of crops, there being no snow and ice to cover the ground for from six to eight months, as was the case in his former home. William Jennings Bryan is among those who have invested in fruit and alfalfa lands and who make their winter homes here, maintaining a foreman who acts in their absence, so that in addition to a place where they can spend the winter, they have farm highly productive and remunerative.

When in the fresh air, breathing deeply, we obsorb enough oxygen to Saturate the blood. If we are exer- eising briskly at the same time we absorb more oxygen and are, there fore, just so much better off.
 The lungs may be strengthened and enlarged by the deep. conscious breathing, and the more conscious one can make the action the bRtter for lungs and health. Breathing ex- ercises should be indulged in many times a day. Breathe in thruogh the mouth as if blowing or whistling.
 Women who desire beauty are sei dom willing to work for results which produce beauty if this work includes self-denial in the appetites or persistence in small things. Deep breathing is beautifier; if the breath is retained and sent through out the body by the force of the will. rounded lines and full contour and fresh complexion will follow.
 One selfindulgent woman of wealth absolutely refuses to exercise or to deny herself rich feods and stim- piants, and relies upon the daily yis- its of a doctor and a masseuse to keep her able to go from ber beo to seat at the table and from the table to seat in her carriage. Mean time she sagqs there is nothing in this talk about the power of mind oser body; that she desires health as much as anybody, and longs for it, but cruel fate compels her to be ill
 It is precisely the same with pep- pie who desire to succeed in busfi- ness. They will not persist in tA' small things; they will not contint certain train of thought, they W
 not make their mental assertioIt and they will not keep themselva tuned up to the key in which sucl cess is written.
 They will read books on these sub jects, and proclaim from the house tops their knowledge of metaphysi- cal laws: and then they will go forth to think thoughts of worry, or fail. ure, of poverty and they will call their failures the fault of an evil star or else the will of God. Yet in man alone lies destiny, and sxhe thfnlreth, so is he. This is the whoFa' truth of life.

can be cited as an example of the big Texas farm of today. Hundreds of acres of choice land are under scientific cultivation aided by irri- gation. Part of it is seeded to al falfa and a large number Of acres are devoted to corn, beans, turnips, tomatoes, pepper. cabbage and other vegetables. Cattle and other live stock are also raised A 20-horse power engine attached to a large centrifcal pump. is used to raise water from the North Concho river. The pump is capable of rasing 200 gallons a minute and it Is strange sight to see the water running up stream. On a konll overlooking the country is the farmhouse. a reveia- ton in modern equipment and con venience. Under the house arc two large iron tanks which are kept full of. water from a nearby wind mill. Near the house is a machine shop containing everything in the way of tools and machinery for scientific farming. In the shop is a small gasoline motor which furn- ishes power for a dynamo and an air condenser. A complete system of water pipes has been installed and when wanted for use the air from the air drums is turned on and sufficient pressure is exerted not only to give a splendid flow from every faucet, but to throw water over the house at its highest point These air drums also sup ply pressure for oil tanks and auto mobile tires. A sman electric plant supplies the house with lights. The house is cleaned with an electrical cleanser which is operated by the dynamo.
 The pianoia and an expensive vic trola grace a music room that would do credit to a Fifth Avenue man. sion and guests at the "U" ranch may hear the worlds best singers at this ranch, miles from any rail road and 5000 miles from New York. The house also has splendid library, and the hall, wide and hospitable, resembles that of baronial castle. On the walls hang guns and old pistols dating from the Revolution ary War down to the present time. In addition there are numerous In. dian relics.

A LESSON IN OPPORTUNITY.

The governor-elect of Tennessee is Benjamin ". Hooper. less than 40 years of age, who does not know his real Eame. or who his parents were. He was found on the street Of Kno1 5ille and committed to the care of an orphan asylum, when he was taken ten years later by Captain Hooper, of Newport, Tenn, wno gave him his name and educated him. It is one of the splendid things about this republic of ours that the name a man makes for himself is the only thing that counts; the things he does, the only ones reck- oned up when the people look about them for their leaders. From orphan asylum to the executive mansfoni From nameless waif to governor of sovereign state. The way is al ways open in this country to those who work and strive and keep the faith.-Baltimore Sun.

DISCOURSEs ON MONEY

A large and enthusiastic audience

the Fellowship, on his return to the
platform yesterday morning, after the
vacation. His subject was us Dol

said, in part:
eyes, it is worth a hundred cents,
but that is all. One of the insanities
of the present age is it's wild scramble
for dollars. Dollars heaped on dol

is a mania that obsesses this nation
especially. The man of money re-
ceives the honor and admiration OF
his fellow citizens when the men of

are ignored or snubbed. Yet money
is a mighty poor standard r., which

DIR. Francis M. Larkin, superinten-

service. A servant girl should recog-
nize the fact that if she is going to do
her work efficiently she should adapt
herself to all reasonable demands of
her mistress. Too many girls think
that they know it all. They become ac-
customed to cooking for one family and
they have an idea that the tastes of
all families are alike. The sensible
girl, who has an honest desire to do
her work so as to please those who
employ her, will seek to know how her
mistress wants the cooking the wash
ing and the housework in general done,
and then will make an honest effort to
do it that way.
SHOULD APPRECIATE KINDNESS
"2. The mistress has a right to ex
pect appreciation for considerate
treatment 1t is true that there are
many people who fail to express any
appreciation or encoura cement for their
servant. On the other hand, there are
servant girls who act as if they were
rendering you a special favor by con-
senting to remain in your home and re-
CeiVe just wages and kindly considera
ton from you. 1t is impossible to
make some girls a member of your
family, for they haven't sense enough
to keep their place, and not presume
upon your kindly thoughtfulness for
them. There are times when family
ought to be all alone. AT such a time
the servant ought to recognize the
privacy of the family circle. The best
way for a servant girl to show her ap
probation of kind treatment is to rem
der such faithful service that she will
have the absolute confidence of those
who employ her.
"3. Last of all, the mistress has a
right to expect a willing and cheerful
service. There is a vast difference in
servants in this regard. 1t may be
that they have worked with cross and
grumpy, sour and Grabbed people so
long that they cannot be pleasant
themselves. 1 am well aware that it
would take more than ordinary human
nature could stand to be pleasant
under all circumstances, but am now
pleading for a higher type of service.
Both master and servant must stand
before the test of Jesus Christ. If we
are going to meet this test it will be
only as master and servant both be
come possessed of the Christ spirit.
Jesus Christ did not measure life's
duties simply by the thing that pleased
He was here to do the will of
his heavenly Father and to please him.
Let master and servant, mistress and
maid. have the spirit of Jesus Christ,
and the servant problem will soon be
solved"

gladly give a million dollars for a
good digestion, and another million
for thatch of natural hair. Dollars
can't buy contentment. Rather their
possession is a source of misery and
worry. Dollars can't buy true friends.
How often has the incoming of dol
lars disrupted friendships and made
men lonely and cynical? Cynicism and
friendship are mutually exclusive.
Dollars cannot buy love. The man
who possesses the love of true, pure
woman, and at whose coming little
children clap their hands, is rich be-
yond the treasures Of kings. Dollars
cannot give an approving conscience.
l know it is considered decidedly old
fashioned to have conscience nova
days, but there is a satisfaction that
springs from quiet conscience that
puts to naught the tawdry pleasures
of mere wealth.
"The riches of noble character make
the riches of dollars look worthless.
Set your millionaire beside William
Pitt, John Howard. Ben Lindsey and
he shrivels up to a crumbling mummy.
What does the possession of mere dol
lars amount to when compared with
such a life as that of Florence, Night
ingale?"

LOCKE REVIEWS LIFE
Of WILLIAM NJ KINLEY
Clergyman Draws Lesson from
Career of President Who Was
Killed in Buffalo

DR.. Charles Edward Locke at the
evening delivered the first of several
sermons on "a Recent Pilgrimage to
the Tomb and Home of William Nc
Kinley." DIR. Locke calls these ser
mons studies in ideals for American
citizens. During his boyhood in Can
ton, Ohio, DR.. Locke knew William
Mckinley personally, and when the
tragic death of the president occurred
nine yars ago, September IA, in Buff
falo, DIR. Locke was invited to con-
duct the funeral service. The text was
Josh. ii, BE strong and of good
courage"
DIR. Locke said u part:
1T is eminently fitting that on the
sad anniversary of the most tragic
event in the history of our generation
we should recall the chivalric career
of our martyred president, and re-
new our solemn promise to be faithful
to the lofty principles of true charac-
ter and pure government for which he
stood while he lived and which were
baptized with his blood in his death.
From the days of Abel until now
those who have offered a more accept
able sacrifice have aroused the muir
derous instincts of depravity.
"All the partings of the ways of his
tory have been saturated with blood.
Noble men have been the pivot on
which epochs have turned. Without
the sacrament of blood there have
been no saviors of the world. Men in
every age have gallantly responded
even unto agony and death.
" 'Toiling up new Calvaries ever,
With the cross that turns not back
ITO this royal brotherhood has been
added the name of a princely son OF
liberty, William Mckinley.
VISITS McKINLEY'S TOMB
'I esteemed it an extraordinary
privilege during my recent eastern trip
to be permitted to visit the scenes of
my boyhood in Canton, Ohio, and to
see for the first time the stately
mausoleum erected by loving friends
to the memory of President William
Mckinley. AS l fingered near that
sacred shrine 1 promised myself that
when / was again permitted to occupy
my far-away Los Angeles pulpit
would not only describe what l saw,
but I would talk to my indulgent con-
gregation on the superb ideals which
were so radiantly expressed in the
life and character of our martyred
hero.
william Mckinley was the embodi-
ment of the spirit of his age. He
absorbed in his own great nature the
traditions and doctrines of the past
and became an incarnation in his pub
lie and personal life of the noblest
aspirations of a liberty-loving people.
In his career the labor of many brave
hearts and many long years of sacri-
ficing toll eliminated.
"All true men are great men. but
those men are more widely known in
their greatness in whose lives the eli
makes of years take place. In archi-
lecture the dazzling pinnacle crowned
with gold, though conspicuous, is not
more worthy than the rude granite
block that, all unseen, supports the
massive structure. Every good man;
from the beginning of our republics
history, who has struggled and suffered
for freedom, has contributed to, and
has a part in the eventful career Of
William Mckinley.

There's riverside saloon foot OF the
bridge and girl there" He ram
bled on as convicts do when their
past seems closed upon them forever.
The wizened man shot a keen glance
at him.
Say, DO, how'd you like to be In
my shoes?" he asked.
What" cried Sullivan.
I'm change with you, II you'll take
care Of my old mother after I'm dead.
What's a life term to me when I'm
dying? The guard will hand In our
names, but SO long as none's missing
he won't pick us out and identity US.
Come, Bo, I'm Sullivan, the lifer, and
you're James-that's me with a year
more to serve What? You'll work
for her till she dies?"
Thus they entered the turpentins
camp. Sullivan became James; James,
Sullivan. And year later when Sulli-
van walked out, free man, James
grasped him by the hand.
We'll, DO, I've fingered he said.
But my times short now, I guess,
and don't regret 1t. You'll care for
her till she dies"
Sullivan assented. But he had no
intention or going to Atlanta, to hunt
up the old woman I'm the poorhouse
there. II was too dangerous q pro-
eeeding. He took ship from Savannah
and landed In New York, where he
resumed his old riverside life. He did
not explain his two years OF absence,
and none asked him. 1t does not pay
to be inquisitive along the water
front.
All this flashed through his mind
In moment. The next, he had raised
his head and met James gaze stead
lily.
"You--you've got well, James," ne
said huskily You're fat and strong
Doctor said IT was the pines done
IT," assented James. He could afford
to wait II Sullivan could.
We'll, amt seen her." said Sulii
van at last TOO risky. What're you

She died, died there last month
When they told me / knew I'd follow
you to the end Of the world until
found you. / escaped got a bullet
through me. but that couldn't kill me
till I found you. You fool. you told
me where you were going to hide.
''Hide?" laughed Sullivan. why,
Sullivan. you think you're James.
You're Sullivan now, and I'm James.
and a word TO the police will bring
them down on you. Come, have "A
drink and Wen call 1t square"
James threw back his head and
laughed shrilly.
I'm Sullivan" he answered. Yes
lin the convict camp. But didn't
bring the convict guards along to
identify you. brought the chief or
police OF Atlanta, who measured and
took your mug" He pulled q whistle
from his pocket and blew the call.
And, even as Sullivan sprang at his
throat, he felt the muzzle OF pistol
press hard against his cheek. He
looked up--into the face OF the police
chief OF Atlanta.
Come along. Sullivan" said the lat
ter cordially.
