The Toyah Valley Herald at Bal
morhea reports that 10000 pounds of
onions per acre were produced on a
farm five miles from that city by G..
w. Griffin this year, and that other
onion growers in that section have
demonstrated beyond doubt that onion
growing in the Toyah valley is one of
the coming industries of that part of
Texas. The onion belt of Texas is rap
idly increasing and promises to be one
of the leading industries of the state.
The financial end of road building is
an important feature, for without the
means the end can not be obtained.
II it is possible to pay cash, it is al
ways preferable, but this seldom can
be done; therefore, extensive highway
construction must be brought about by
obtaining money on time, or by the
issuing of bonds, as in this way alone
can future beneficiaries assist in pay
ing the cost.

dicted for Texas this year.
The state department and the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
are engaged in the work of educating
the adult farmer and is bringing to
him information of the results of these
better methods. Their application
means a greater yield per acre, at
decreased unit of cost, and this pro-
gression widens the margin between
the cost of production and the selling
price.
The beautiful William Cameron park

tables deteriorate if the same stock

the law is followed by physical, men
tai and moral degeneracy in the hui
man species.
The death of Baron Albert Solomon
Rothschild of the Austrian branch OF
the famous family, fully exemplifes
this. His marriage with his first cou-
sin resulted most disastrously All the
children showed weaknesses. An only
daughter was deaf mute. The eld-
est son went mad. Another son, Os-
kar Rotschild when forbidden to mar
ry Olga Mem, blew out his brains.
The family life was one long tragedy.
Legislative action in many States
has set aside the sanction given by
religion to the inter-marriage of blood
relatives The solemnity of the mar
riage rite does not insure the blessings

ator is soon manifest in the children,

beetle in mind.
Among Jews are often met examples
of healthy families born of such alli-
ances and the argument is maintained
that this natural law has no existence.
But this is true only insofar as both
parents are in almost perfect health,
which is more frequent among the
rank and file of Jews than among the
rest of humanity. authoritative Stats
tics show clearly that these unions are
a menace to the community and that
a large percentage of the idiocy and
insanity found in our asylums is attri-
buted to the violation of this natural
law.

that in the birth months of Washing

we most closely associate with free
dom and equality, should have been
the time when the American demand

Taft to declare void our treaty with
her if she continue discriminating
against American citizens of the Jew
ish faith. Americans are awakening
to the insult barbarian Russia is Of
fering the United States government
and demanding that the Declaration
of independence be enforced in letter
and in spirit.

ever that all men are equal, to do the
best that is in him to help others, to
