Ten Acre Homes.

Ten acres of good coast land, well
drained, half in orange orchard and
half in garden and field crops, will
make an industrious family independ-
ent. OF this there is no longer any doubt
in our minds. We have seen it worked
out successfully too often to question it,
That being true, it is as certain as any
thing human can be that the coast lands
win in time reach an average cash
market value of $500 to $1,000 per acre.
There is no better savings investment
for the young man or woman in this
region than coast country soil at pres
ent prices. Southwestern Farmer
Southwestern Farmer is eminently
correct, and that the American people
generally will come to realize at no
distant day that such is the case is the
belief of The Hustler. Many of them
are already interested in the Gulf
Coast country, of which our section is
the best, as is readily apparent upon
even casual examination.
Right here at Monte Christie we have
the choicest of all Texas land. OF this
there is no doubt We have the right
character of soil, the best quality of
water, and a fine climate, and, to use
words of another, Possessing these,
any settler, who is DESTROYS of succeed
ing. need but make proper effort in
order to do so. Hustler, Monte Christie,

MARRIED AT TWELVE.
By EDWIN A. NYR.

Recently in an Indiana town the par
ents Of a girl twelve years of age per-
mitted her TO marry a man of thirty.
Which was a vicious crime against
childhood.
More than that. it was a crime
against society. against civilization, a
crime against the future.
Think of it.
a girl of twelve years, still in short
dresses. whose place should be on her
fathers knee; a girl of tender years,
whose only serious concern should be
her school work and whose chiefest
pleasures should be her dolls and play
houses,
The pity Of it..
What does this baby OF twelve years
know about a husband or marriage or
love or life?
No girl Is physically fit to be wife
or mother at twelve. Marriages of
that sort are made only in India and
the orient. where wives are regarded
only as toys or playthings.
What sort of children may be ex-
pected from child mother not yet in
her teens?
Society puts its age limits upon mar
rage not only for the protection of the
contracting parties. but to protect it.
self from children born with handi-
cap.
1t is easy to predict the finish of this
child If the marriage stands.
At an age when other young girls
are beginning TO entertain their earlier
beaus she will be broken. nervous
wreck, doomed perhaps to an early
grave
The wrong of It.
1t was ruthless act.
The tendency of our day is away
from early marriages. and for good
reason. We are beginning to under
stand that wifehood and motherhood
call for a maturity. physical and
mental. OF twice twelve years. II the
race is to advance the mother must be
Gt and educated for her duties.
Poor little Hoosier girl.
Justice and decency demand she
should be taken from her new home
by the humane or some other society
and sent TO school.
And decency and justice demand
that the mature parties to the consplr-
acy should be punished.

the public judgment should be form

want him and will express their de-

Mr.. DeBoer adopts this method not

shown the greater courage in his leg

1t isn't new computation but it
is of interest to figure the actual cash
value of the deer killed during the
open season. Reports are not all IN,
but it is probable that some 1000 deer
have been killed The meat value of
each carcass is from $40 to $25. ac-
cording to size. If an average is Ia
ken at SIS, the total for the season
will. be $4,000 and this undoubtedly
very conservative estimate. II is
evident that the deer are valuable
pecuniary asset of the state, to say
nothing of the pleasure of having
them on exhibition once in while
and the interest and excitement that
the hunters get from the chase. The
state can we'll afford to pay the dam
age claims of orchardists and garden
ers

save waste. The essential question
for the public going down far into
the selfishness of human nature, is
this: Will the man who makes
these savings give the pbblic its
fair e?"-Manchester Mirror.
And that is eactly the social and
the economic question that forms the
basis for what we know today al So
cialism. Mankind, left to its own de-
vices, would originate more or less
selfishness under any circumstances,
But when mankind, after studiously
and honestly trying to organize a So
cial system that will eliminate as
much as possible of the old primeyal
selfshness that has its excuse in the
first law of nature, finds that indiy-
iduaIs here and there will not do
their part, because they are too gree
dy, then socialism begins to have
something to recommend it to other
wise conservative minds.
The truth is, the convincing, all
compelling truth, is, that the greatest
missionaries for the cause OF social
ism today are the hogs of business
and finance that are not content with
a fair division of the profits of mans
ingenuity OF industry, but want it all
They are the first to cry against
the awful tendency OF the times that
breeds such decentralization OF our so
cial system, and to declaim against
radicals and extremists. Forgetful
all the while, that II they themselves
were not extremists in greed, there
would not be so many extremists IN
theory and in the unselfish hope fol
better things that theory sometimes
gives.

airy way toward the realization o
some ideas and ideals OF socialism
and one by one they are reached II

as socialism had its origin. We can

ISTHE CURSE OF CHINA
Declares Lack OF Militarisn is Cause
Of Empires Troubles-Points
Moral in Tripoli War.

Chicago, Nov. China is a horrible
example Of the effects Of a policy OF
peace at any price," declares Theo-
dore Roosevelt in an article on Arb
tration. Pretense and Reality" in the
current number OF the Outlook The
Turko-I Italian war was also cited by
the former president as an illustration
of the utilities Of treaties without the
backing of power.
Mr.. Roosevelt says in part:
Surely the real friends of peace In
this country ought TO be able TO profit
by the events that have happened in
China and in the Mediterranean dur
ing these fall months. since the arbi-
tration treaty was considered in the
senate.
During these months we have seen
a widespread revolt in China. with
utter Reorganization of the empire.
and we have seen war Unexpectedly
break out betwee Italy and Turkey.
The complete absence of militar-
ism in China and Chinas effort TO rely
purely on pacific measures in dealing
with all foreign powers have not only
caused it 10 lose various provinces
10 various foreign powers within the
last few decades. but have had not
the smallest effect in saving 1t from
tyranny. Improvement and the most
fareac hing economic misery at home.
and, moreover. have had the effect Of
depriving il Of means even OF keeping
order within it's own boundaries.
"As for the war between Italy and
Turkey. am not now concerned with
its ethical Justification. The point is
that this war proved the utter ineffi-
cheney of paper treaties when they are
unback ed by force Turkey has all the
protection possible TO give her by
paper treaties. and yet all Of these
treaties thus guaranteeing her against
dismem berment. thus pledging the
honor of various great nations to guar
antoe her integrity. are not worth as
much as single gunboat OF the small
