HOW THE BOY

A gentleman advertised for a boy,
and nearly SO came to see him.
Out Of the whole number he chose
one, and dismissed the rest.
II should like to know" said q
friend, "why you picked out that
boy, who had not a single recon-
mendation?"
"You are mistaken" said the
gentleman; "he had a great many.
he wiped bis feet when he came
in and closed the door after him.
showing that he was careful"
He gave his seat instantly to
an elderly person, showing that he
was thoughtful and kind. He took
of his cap, and answered my ques-
tons promptly. showing that he
was gentlemanly.
He picked up a book l had pur.
posely laid on the floor, and replaced
it on the table; and he waited quiet.
ly for his turn instead Of pushing
and providing, showing that he was
honorable and orderly.
when l talked to him l noticed
that his clothes were brushed. and
his hal. in order.

cosTlLLA EXPENDITURES

District Attorney Albert l..
Moses is not inclined to prosecute
suits against the officers of Costilla
county to recover 600 which
State Examiner 81. j. Leddy
claims to have been unlawfully ex-
pended.
In his letter to Mr.. Leddy, who
urges q prosecution, Mr.. Moses
says:
"There was not in your report
anywhere anything to indicate that
in expanding the money which you
claim was illegally expended by
the board of county commission
ers, there was any moral terpitude
or Intentional wrong"
Moses declares frankly that he
does not regard the assertions
against the county commissioners
as fair, and that he will not be a
party to anything that savors of
partisan politics.
Moses denies the right Of the
examiner to require action on his
part, but quotes the statute to
show that he has the option of in
shutting proceedings.
In bis letter Moses takes up a
number of items questioned by the
examiner. Some Of them he de-
clares are within the law, others,
he states plainly, are not author
lied, but he announces that the
expenditures are morally right be-
cause of peculiar conditions. He
cites the payment of county Judge
who received a fiat sum for two
years. Moses explains that no
capable man would perform the
duties of this Office for the few fees
legally payable, therefore it be-
came nee essary to pay a fixed sum
to secure . competent judge.
The letter includes strong
statement Of the honesty in public
matters Of the officials Of the coun-
ty, and states that the county is in
q good condition financially. He
says that owners of a big land
grant and the Denver & Rio Grande
pay practically all of the taxes, and
that he does not believe any tax.

La TOILETTE

| why ID senator La FOllette
against the reciprocity treaty with
Canadap The following in part
are his reasons:
II believe in reciprocity. l be-
lieve in reciprocity with Canada.
The mutual give and take of tariff
concessions between our country
and our world neighbors, along
the lines laid down by Blaine and
Mckinley, is policy that has in
view the best welfare of all con-
cerned. The fair exchange of
commercial privileges between the
people of two great producing and
consuming and interdependent ma
tions must result in good for both.
But l protest against this pro-
posed revision Of our tariff by Ex-
ecutive mandate. protest against
this diplomatic bargain that is
masquerading in the guise of reci-
procity. 1t is not reciprocity. 1t
is not a fair exchange Of tariff ad-
vantages between our citizens and
the citizens of Canada. 1t is a
tariff trade, conceived in special
interest selfishness, negotiated in
secret and brought into the open
with the attractive label of reci-
procity as a bid for the favor of
the American public-a people
who believe sincerely in reciproo-
ity that is genuine.
THE unjustness and unfairness
of this one-sided arrangement,
when fully understood by all peo-
pie who believe in justice and fair
dealing, will meet with the resent
ment it merits. Reciprocity-true
reciprocity--implies a fair exchange
between those whose products are
the subjects Of the exchange. This
compact, the ratification of which
is demanded without change, with
out the exercise Of legislative judg.
ment on the part of Congress, is,
in plain English, an Executive
bargain, the terms Of which re-
quire the farmer TO surrender his
market at an enormous loss to se-
cure valuable concessions to q few
prosperous special interests. That
is all. President Taft's Canadian
pact will increase the profits Of the
railroads, the milling interests. and
the beef trust.
"The railroads, particularly the
Hill line, have Is or 20 branches
extending far up into tho wheat
producing sections Of Canada. Mr..
Hill is one of the strongest sup
porters of the Presidents pact.
He hungers for the big tonnage TO
flow from Canadian wheat into q
free American market. The effect
of this competition on our farmers
does not concern him. There will
be no reduction in bis international

THE milling interests approve
of the Presidents pact. They want

suit from a Canadian glut of the
northern American market. The
millers are safe. Canadian -four
can not come in free to compete
with them. The farmer can take
bis cut in prices. The price Of

Mr.. A. P. Spencer spent some time
discussing meat production in Florida
especially with hogs, recommending in
particular those breeds that are most
generally found in this state. The
preference seems to lie between the
Berkshire, Poland China and Duroc
Jersey.
The average farmer will find that
the Florida native hog graded UP by
crossing with these improved breeds

Early maturity is one of the first
considerations in Improvement. The
average valuation of the Florida hog
at this time is $3.50, while for the
United States, this average valuation
is 1914. A great deal therefore is
before the farmers to bring UP the
quality.
Hog feed and how to make pork
cheaply were discussed. Forage crops
must be used and very small amount
of grain viii then be necessary to in
duce rapid and economical growth.
Florida has several crops for. each
month of the year and this fact must
not be neglected If cheap pork is to be
made in Florida.
Throughout the Institute it was EN-
phasized that diversification of crops
was as essential to success in Florida
as in any other state.
Florida needs more good live stock
on her farms. Dairying and hog rails
ing together is a profitable business
and adds not only cash business to
the operations but gives the soil a fer
tilizer that is more or less permanent
in it's effects and will eventually elimi-
nate to a very large extent the need
of commercial fertilizers.
Discussion on drainage, hay making
and the method of sweetening the soil
and the application of fertilizers best
suited to particular crops followed.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION
At D'FUNIAK
MUCH INTEREST AROUSED IN
MID WINTER INSTITUTE HELD
AT D'FUNlAK WITH SOME OF
LEADING WORKERS IN ATTEN-
DANCE.

West Florida has had conventions,
chautauquas and other assemblies,
but never before has there been a
great gathering of Sunday School and
church workers of all denominations
coming together in the interest of tho
best methods in Christian work, The
greatest experts along all lines of
Sunday School and church work have
been called from New York, Richmond.
Nashville, Kansas City, Atlanta, Chi
cago and Birmingham, to help the
pastors, teachers and other Christian
workers in this state. Every church
in West Florida may send every teach
OF, superintendent and the pastor, and
get free admission into the Chautau-
qua for all of this week. Provision has
been made by the good people Of De-
Funiak Springs to entertain free all
who come as representatives from
schools and churches.
We believe that all people engaged
in Christian work who really mean
business and can possibly get away,
have come Of will come before the
week ends. We believe that all Of
fcers OF county associations who are
more than mere figure heads will at
tend If they can possibly do so.
The movement was well launched
last Sunday when DR.. D. l.. Philips,
of Richmond, Va, addressed a great
mass meeting in the afternoon and
again at 1880 in the evening. Perhaps
500 people heard DR.. Phillips Sunday.
Rev. r. r. Ray, Gen. Sec'y. of the
State Sunday School Association
opened the first regular session Mon
day morning at a. m. DR.. Philips
delivered the first address and Miss
Kennedy followed, speak-on the Evo-
luton of Sunday School. Those who
have heard Miss Kennedy, of Birrning-
ham, and DR.. Philips, know that there
are few equal and scarcely and super
for to these In the land.
The other speakers who have ar
rived are: Mr.. NJ. A. Hudson, of New
York, the founder and the present
president OF the worldwide Baraca
Philathea movement. and Rev. ]. p.
O'Brian, of Kansas City, Missouri, who
is the Educational church of the
United States. Mr.. Hudson spoke to Il
well filled house Monday night and
Rev. O'Brien delivered the first adj
dress on Tuesday. Rev. O'Brien has no
superior in mental grasp and method
of presentation. He goes down to
the fundamentals in religious educa-
ton and puts a new meaning in tho
old worn out forms. No one can hear
Rev. O'Brien without being a better
teacher and worker ever after.
Mr.. Hudson started the organized
class and Is now the moving spirit
In the world in getting men and
women into the Sunday School There
are 100000 men in organized classes
who ten years ago were not in the
Sunday School at all. There are also
100000 women who have come into
organized classes in eight years Mr..
Hudson thinks that there will be
100000 in these classes within the
next five years. He is confident that
there will be an increase of 1000, 900
every year after the first 100000 is
won. 1t is worth a trip across the
states to hear Mr.. Hudson. Already
more than half of all Baracas and
Philatheas in the states have heard
him. Others are expected on every
train.

OUR NATURAL SRVAGERY.
It Will at Times Break Through the
 Veneer of Civilization.

It's q mighty short step from modern civilization to the natural impulses of ancient savagery. If you don't believe 1t just watch some time, and you'll see a small boy-or grown man-dis- cover a rabbit.
 The first thought that comes into his mind is to kill the rabbit Quickly he searches his mind to see where a weapon can be found.
 The second thought is to secure a rock to throw at it, just as some cave man might.
 A man finds snake coiled in the road. It may be harmless snake. but it's a snake, and therefore his primitive instinct calls upon him to kill it.
 A weapon! He seeks about for ancestors would have done. and, hav- ing secured the club, he dispatches the snake, his soul singing with tri- umph.
 Modern civilization probably would have urged the man to cut forked stick and catch the snake by the neck with 1t, then to secure 10 cents worth of chloroform and kill it swiftly and painlessly But he goes after the club just as naturally as if he had never seen steam heated flat or ridden on trolley car or seen an automobile.
 Children roam in the woods and eat every variety of berry they can find. It matters not if they be poisonous. They taste them all from the looks. and the amount eaten depends on the taste. This is probably what the cave children did, and the modern infants show the same intelligent caution re- garding what they put in their mouths.
 It's that way all through. We may have acquired more or less thick veneer of modern civilization. but let emergencies arise and we're as primi- tive as the most primitive of our an. cestors.- Galveston News.
