A Locust Grove

In 1904 we planted 10. 900 black
locust trees on the Handler
place. Our authority was Clo-
thier, Of the L. S. Forestry de-
partment. He insisted on putting
the rows four feet apart and the
trees four feet in the rows. We
wanted them for posts and our
authority said they would trim
themselves.
The ground was not well pre-
pared. They We're poorly set out.
The trees root and body were
ten inches long The forest was
well cultivated the first year, also
trimmed. The second year the
man on the farm got TO dreaming
Of his South African mines and
forgot 10 cultivate the trees.
The next yearlO, 900 more black
locusts were set out. Two years
later hail played havoc with the

FOB THE BEST IN QUALITY AND PRICE

Several large steam and gas.
oline traction engines have been
unloaded here during the past
few months and all of them will
be used in the cultivation of the
immense farms that are being
put in this year. BY the aid of
these plows, a few men can
cultivate a large acreage of land
especially in this section of the
state, where one man can handle
a great deal more ground than in
the black land belt, and do it
well. This year will no doubt
prove many things that this
country will do, and the develop
ments of this section will be
watched this year with a keen
eye. 1t is important that we all
do our part and make the Lub-
book country do her very best.

THEY GET THE HABIT

Minors should not be permitted
to loaf around a pool room. The
Houston Post says truly: 1t is
idle to deny that they are drawn
thither by allurements that the
opportunity to gamble affords.
In short, they are veritable nur-
series for gambling, andfew mi
nors who go there but soon find
the gambling habit fastened up
on them, and we do not hesitate
TO affirm that much of the crime
by youthful offenders with
which the officers of our city and
county have had to deal within
the past two years could easily
be traced back TO the open pool
rooms as the underlying cause.

Patterson tried to coerce them in the
Cooper case, but Patterson could not
have eoerced Grafton Green and Lans-

Judges Bell and MeAlister say%hat
they were not coerced, and Judge Nc

This charge of coercion was an after

days after the court rendered its opin-

The judges bolted because they said
they wanted to keep the judiciary out

If this is the reason controlling the
