quires constant vigilance and frequent

CITIZENS BUILD BIG DAM IN DAY

Krebs, Okla.-Building 700 feet OF
riprap dam averaging in height 20 to
80 feet without a cent of expense was
the feat performed here today when
the entire town of Krebs turned out
and put in ten hours of hard labor for
the sake of their city. The dam was
built at the city reservoir. The city
had no money with which to do the
work. The dam was of vital impor-
lance to the city's water supply and
finally Mayor Seamans hit upon a
scheme to remedy the trouble. He is
sued a proclamation calling upon the
citizens to turn out in force and build
the dam for the city. Every business
house in town was closed. Profess
sional men aid aside their usual duties
for picks and shovels. Butchers, bak-
ers, restaurant men and the ladies' pre-
pared big feast for the loyal workers
who at one time numbered 200. 1t is
that $50 perch of stone were
used. -Tradesman.

CATARRh is SURELY A
DANGEROUS DISEASE.

Thousands of people allow catarrh
to slowly undermine the whole system
until a serious disease develops
sometimes consumption.
People who have catarrh should use
every effort to get rid of it, but should
above all adopt a sensible method.
Stomach dosing, sprays and douches
won't cure catarrh because it is a germ
disease, and the germs must be de-
stroyed before the disease can be con-
quered
HYOMEI is the one sensible cure for
catarrh because it reaches every fold,
crevice and nook in the mucous men,
brane and gets where the germs are.
You breathe HYOMEI and as it passes
over the inflamed membrane its sooth-
ing influence heals the soreness and
destroys the germs.
A complete HYOMEI outfit costs
$1.00. This consists of a bottle of
HYOMEI and a hard rubber inhaler.
Pour a few drops of HYOMEI into the
inhaler and breathe it a few minutes
each day, that's all you have to do.
It is guaranteed by b. j. jenkins and
druggists everywhere to cure catarrh,
coughs, colds and sore throat or money

The contention that prohibition is 9
moral issue Is not sufficient excuse
for the churches going into politics
for the same may be said Of the tariff
or any other political question. Every
political question has its moral side
so there is no stopping place if the
church as an organization crosses
over the line. This is clearly recog-
nized by many church members and
others who wish the churches well
and are sorry to see them make this
faux pas. 1t will make no votes for
prohibition, but will turn many
against it.

There has been no news from Lower
California in several weeks. Condi-
tions are peculiar there, very different
from those elsewhere in Mexico. That
long, irregular shaped, mountainous
peninsula is completely isolated and
o. no value to Mexico, but Uncle Sam
could use it very nicely in his bust
ness. The Mexican government will
need money and Uncle Sam has the
cash. Nobody will object to acquiring
Lower California if it can be done de-
Gently and in order.

OF course, the oligarchy that has
ruled and exploited Mexico for many
years hate Madero intensely and
would assassinate him if they thought
they could thereby retain their power.
The beneficiaries of special privileges
in this country have a similar feeling
toward William ]. Bryan, which they
manifest in persistent attempts to as
sassinate his reputation.

from entering as a student because
she wore a $500 hat, and Connecticut

Before the old opera house was
burned it was customary to use it as
an auditorium, free of charge, for
school exhibitions and the like. Some
think the city should have provided in
the lease Of the new theater for such
affairs. However this may be, there is
no doubt that Bryan needs an audito,
rum, and needs it badly. If there were
a place for them to meet many con-
ventions could be secured, which would
bring much money and would be bene
fetal in other ways.

THE FLOUR MILL.

The -four mill will open business re
lations between Bryan and the great
wheat growing districts of the North
west, on the one hand, and the entire
gulf coast and the West Indies, on the
other. 1t will bring into close relation
New Orleans and Havana, where ele-
vators and offices of the Lawler Mill
ing Company will be maintained. Such
an expansion of business connections
will ultimately prove of greater benefit
than even the pay roll.

If the Protestant churches, as Or
CARNATIONS, take part in a political
contest, with what consistency can
they blame the Catholics for doing
likewise? The Eagle has recently
published official statistics sent out
by the census bureau showing that
there are, in round numbers, thirteen
and half millions of Catholic COM
municants in the United States. This
is about fifteen per cent of the popu-
lation and might easily hold the bal
ance of power in a national election.
This meddling of churches in politics
is a dangerous thing.

DOGS IN BRYAN.

There are too many dogs in Bryan.
Every unmuzzled dog running at large
is dangerous, especially in the hot
season. This is why there are ordi-
nances regulating the keeping of dogs
in the city. One of these ordinances
requires all dogs running at large to
be tagged with tags furnished by the
city secretary, the. tags costing a dol
lar each. Another ordinance prohibits
unmuzzled dogs from running at large
in the months of June, July and Au-
gust. In addition to these, Article 46
of the city ordinances says:
"An annual specific tax of one dollar
is hereby levied on all dogs within the
city limits due and payable by the
owners or controllers of the same,
from the 1st to the 18th of January in
each year. and it is hereby made the
duty of the city marshal to collect
said dog tax, and he shall receive
commission of 10 per cent on all sums
collected under this article"
The ordinances cited are sufficient
to abate the nuisance and minimize
the danger if they were enforced. And
why are they not enforced? Simply
because public opinion does not de-
mand it. It is in vain to censure the
ii
he does not enforce this and a num-
Der of other good and necessary ordi-
nances because there is active opposi-
ton to and no active effort in favor
of enforcement. People prefer to take
the risk of being bitten by rabid dogs
admitting that there is serious dan
ger-rather than bestir themselves to
insure security.

The decision of the supreme court
that country clubs, private clubs and
lodge clubs can sell liquor exclusively
to members without state license does
not apply to such clubs in dry terri
tory. Attorney General Lightfoot re-
fused to prosecute such clubs at the
dictation of Governor ColQuitt because
he held that they had the law on their
side. The fact that the opinion was
rendered by Judge Ramsey, who is a
prohibitionist, is interesting.

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION

Every battlefield that marks the
worlds progress, the victory of liberty
over tyranny, or right over wrong, has
been deluged with the blood of our
farmers. The farmer evades neither
the tax nor the recruiting officer. The
sons and daughters of our farmers
are filing the seminaries, colleges and
universities of the land, and from our
farm homes have gone in the past, as
they are going now, leaders in litera-
ture, science and art, presidents Of
great universities, the heads of great
industrial enterprises and they direct
our government. The typical Ameri-
can today is the farmer, and city life
with its hustle and stir, its hurry and
rush must be replenished from our
rural homes.

If China were as powerful as it is

Southern Pacific railroad which may
revolutionize the coal industry in
Texas, according to recent press re-
ports from Houston. The company has
had several engines equipped for the
purpose OF testing the use of Texas lig-
mite as a fuel. The experiments made
so far have proven so satisfactory that
an additional number Of engines have
been thus equipped and are now being
placed in use over the entire line
There are a large number of Ignite
fields in Texas, and If the use of this
fuel is adopted by other railroads, a
great impetus will be given the Ignite

the object OF placing him at the head

course as a result of patriotism or
prudence makes little difference so far
