Don't wait till the last minute to
think about show preparation.
In time of peace prepare for war.
This is good advice when applied to
any kind Of business, and as applied
to the handling Of poultry is more
potent than in any other line. The time
to fight lice is in a season of peace
before they come. The time to fight
disease is when your flock is in health
Bpt above all things the time to fight
your competitors in the show is night
now when the show is months off In
time Of peace prepare for war. Select
from your flock and particularly from
your young stock a number Of probable
exhibition birds and begin to train
them for the show. Begin to handle
them and to gentle them. Look after
their feet and legs and see that no
sign of scaliness fingers with them.
Separate them from the main flock and
separate the males from the females.
The males under these conditions are
less quarrelSOme and less liable to mar
the combs of one another from scrap
piness. Just before our last show IT
was discovered that a. number Of our
breeders had waited too long to COM
mence preparation for the show and
their young stock was all under weight,
and it became necessary to eliminate
the weight clause in standard require
ment IN the judging of young stock.
No excuse for such a condition. Might
just as well begin now and have your
young stock for the show fully up to
standard weight long before the open
ing Of the show, and If your particular
strain Of birds cannot be made to
reach standard weight with ease and
without being made excessively fat,
better send them to che butcher and
get q strain which is a little heavier,
for in this section, at least, 1t is safe
to say that in all future shows young

Galveston. Tex, July S.-The great

city with the mainland, Is fast near

will rank with the sea wall as an en-
cheering accomplishment.
Concrete walls form the sides of the
causeway at each end Between the
walls is pumped sand from the bay
and over the top, a concrete road
way is built, with a concrete balus-
trade on each side. In the center is a
mammoth steel drawbridge to permit
the passage of vessels, while on either
side of this bridge are arches of con-
crete.
The entire structure is about two
miles in length and replaces the old
steel bridge mounted on pilings that
was destroyed by the flood of 1900.
Since its destruction, there has been
no means Of communication with the
mainland for wagons except by ferry
and this has been very inconvenient.
as all Of Galveston's vegetables and
produce must come from the main
land and much Of 1t is grown by
gardeners who bring 1t in by wagon.
The completion of the new cause
way will also permit automobiIists a.

RIO GRANDE RISES
ABOVE LAS CRUCES
Some Fields Close to the
River Are Flooded BY
High Water.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, July S.-The Rio
Grande continues to rise from the re-
cent storms In Colorado and the county
bridge at Socorro was in grave danger
during the past three days. Just how
this additional rise Will affect the river
in the valley is not known yet, as the
river seems to be falling on account
of cutting out the channel deeper, and
while there IS a greater head of water
coming down than for the past week,
still the surface is lower at the Mes
quite bridge
In the Taylor pasture, opposite Dona
Ana, and in several OF the fields in
close proximity to the river, the water
is rising rapidly, and many of the pas
lures are three feet under water.
Engineer French OF the reclamation
service reported the river rising in the
lower valley, and many OF the Mex
lean residents of the valley are moving
their belongings to the hills or on top
Of the houses.
A. NJ Ault, OF La Mesa, reports the
river stationary at the Mesquite bridge,
and while the level land TO the east OF
the river in the Brazito grant is under
water from a foot to tw1 feet IN places,
still the bridge does not appear to be
in danger. However, it is feared sthe
additional high water coming down,
as reported from Socorro, will weaken
both this bridge as well as the one
above Anthony
The heads OF the La Mesa and Cham
berino bitches have been washed out.
Men have been working night and day
for the past four days trying to save
the ditch heads and at last they were
compelled to devote their attentions to
the saving of the ditch itself, and ac-
cording to latest reports both bitches
are out of danger unless the water
rises high enough to change the cur
rent from its present channel.
The engineers at the Leasburg d.
version dam have been making strenu-
Gus efforts to control the flood and
keep the river in the new channel For
the present there is little danger to
crops in the upper valley as only the
pasture lands and low stretches of tim
Der have been flooded.
In the lower valley the river con-
ttnues in the channel which 1T has used
for the past 10 years, and little fear is
entertained that the new ranches and
farms which have been developed in
the old channel, will be disturbed. Be

recent years this channel has been
abandoned by the river flowing several
miles to the east.

ton was read and approved, which

when held up at the immigration sta
ton, should be allowed to have coun-
sci at all their examinations that the
examinations be made with as much
speed as possible and that while held
pending the examination, they be given
opportunities to exercise, and not be

1utions passed by the Chinese chamber
of commerce of San Francisco.

posed Of G. F. Hawks, A. Schwartz and
Bert Orndorff, to confer with the FL

WAR PICTURES ARE

Local Postcard Men Sell a
Million Before Demand

The sale of war picture post cards
has diminished until the postcard ven
doris are folding their display racks and
silently slipping away to pastures more
green than Ell Paso with the war two
months gone.
The sale of these post cards showing
pictures Of the insurrecto heroes and
battle scenes, has been heavy.
One merchant says he has sold more
than 100000 Of the cards, while a pho
tographer who makes a speciality of
post card views, has made more than
5000 of the war cards
1t is estimated that there have been
more than 1000 900 of these post cards
mailed and carried away from Ell Paso

It is a little early yet to look very

are sometimes broken. These should be
carefully removed, long enough before
the show for other feathers to grow
in their places. Off color feathers, too,
will frequently put in an appearance
from many causes other than hered-
itary influence. Remove these and new
feathers will come, probably Of correct
marking. In birds Of color white feath-
ers are frequently found caused either
from an injury to the young feather
when Just emerging through the skin
or from an injury to the flesh. When
they are removed and come back all

the result of accident and not hered-

WEST TEXAS FARES
BETTER THAN USUAL
Rainfall Far in Excess Of
Other Years and Crops
Good.

Austin, Texas. July S.-One Of the
most interesting features of the crop
situation this " eek is that while other
parts OF the state are suffering from
the effects Of a drouth all of western
Texas continues to receive rainfall far
in excess of ordinary seasons. Heavy
general rains fell all through the trans
PecoS territory during the last few
days, augmenting the bright crop con-
ditions that already existed in that
part of the state. In the upper pan
handle where cotton is new crop,
good rains are reported. All the way
from Abilene to FL Paso, a distance Of
400 miles, the country is in splendid
shape a result of the abundant rains.
While that region is not commonly ac-
cepted as belonging to the cotton belt
there Is considerable of the staple now
being grown there. The crop this year
in western Texas. extending the whole
length of the state, north and south,
will be exceptionally large, according
to the present outlook.

The Boy on the Farm.

The farm boy is the future farmer and the potential general, senator and president, says the Kansas Farmer
 He helps to build the farms and homes of the countryside with little reward, except his hope of inheritance. He has practical knowledge, but small financial interest. His business sense is undeveloped, his responsibilities minimized and his servitude prolong- ed, and yet he is a newer and better edition of his sire whose burdens he must bear.
 Fortune gives much to many, but never enough to any, and the parent can well learn that wisdom Is often nearer him when he stops to consid- CT the boy than when he scars to larg- CT things. Boy culture is better than a baby beef, and his training than a multitude of harvests.
 Evil Is wrought by want of thought when not by want of heart.

INDIVIDUAL SETS OF CHINA
Can Be Bought Now Comparatively Cheap-Expenditure 10 Consid-
 cred a Good One.

A shop here in town which l dis covered the other day is intended, to my way of thinking, for the woman who wishes individual china. Here they import the plain white china in the most delicate and beautiful shapes I have ever seen and decorate 1t to suit the customers ideas, room. table decorations or anything the GUS toner chooses. And the best point is that although this work is done beau tifully in gold and colors which are lasting and in patterns which are of unusual beauty to say the least. the charge is very reasonable.
 For instance a dinner set of fine French china, consisting of one hun dred pieces (and the customer may choose these to a certain extent-that is, one does not have to buy useless covered dishes and soup tureens. but may substitute other pieces) with a delicate coin gold border and gold monogram of any style. sells for $50; and when l compare it with the sets usually sold at that price I only won der why everybody who has $50s to spend doesn't order this china. For there is nothing in better taste than simple fine gold-bord dered china. and the individuality of ones monogram adds greatly to it's beauty.-Smart Set
