HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

Z think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In few days the head
was solid mass; running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got q dollar bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar Of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and it has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head of hair.
think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"

Absent-Minded,

There was $105 in the left trou-

man, as he all but fell into the little
tailors pressing and cleaning shop.
The tailor glanced at the excited
citizen, and went on pushing the
goose.
After minute the new arrival got
his breath, but lost his temper. IT

fist.

The left pocket gave up a roll of
bills and cigarette case, the right
pocket bunch of keys, penknife and
a pound of other junk; the right back
pocket magazine pistol and a hand
kerchief, the left back pocket a big
memorandum book and the fob pocket
a watch with fob and charm attached
and some bills tightly folded. !.
After the absent-minded one had
given the tailor five dollars for his
honesty" the knight of the goose
soliloquized: Some day dat feller fer

DOM ESTIC.

Coin collectors of New York had op
| portunity Saturday to bid on unique
United States gold coin at the sale Of
the William A. Woods collection. A
! So gold piece minted at San Francisco
in 1870 was sold to S. H. Chapman, a
dealer in Philadelphia, for $1,450.
To Jan. /, 1911, Texas had produced
146,S97,619 barrels of crude oil, valu.
ed at $67 ,411,1S5.
The high prices which have pre-
vailed in Texas for the last two years
for turkeys and other poultry, as well
as the ideal natural conditions for
raising them, has caused the people to
turn more attention to that industry,
and, as result, poultry raising will
be more extensively engaged in this
year than ever before.
Grady Galloway of Comanche, broth
or of Congressman Oscar Galloway and
a university upper classman, was shot
and seriously wounded Friday while
participating in an attempt to haze
three freshmen at the State Univer-
sity. John r. Anthony of Grand Sa-
line. a freshman, surrendered to the
police subsequently and was released
on a $500 bond.
According to the records of the de-
nartment of insurance and banking at
Austin. twenty-five state banks have
applied for authority for an increase
of capital stock since Jan. l, 1911, the
greater number of which has been in
creases of from $4,000 to $4,000.
This is considered as showing a very
healthy condition of the state banking
system, and indicates steady growth
of the already established banks.

DEMONSTRATION FARMS
Nine Are in Operation on the Brazos
River in Falls County-Farmers
Taking Interest.

Marlin, Tex-Nine demonstration
farms are in operation on the east
side of the Brazos River in Falls
County Interest in the work is mark
ed by greatly increased concern on the
part of farmers in general. This is the
report of John B. McCord, special
agent of the agricultural department
for this county. Mr. McCord looks for
ward to continued development of
farming methods in this section. In
this connection he counts largely on
the examples the corn-growing boys
are setting, and the fact that these
youngsters are not only learning
things for their own benefit, but they
are teaching older farmers profitable
lessons as to what the soil and climate
are capable OF producing.

Prospect for Good Crops.

Beeville, Tex.-J. W. Scott, one OF
the live and progressive farmers of the
county, feels jubilant over the present
fine prospects for good crop this
year. He says the fields are in excel
lent shape and the farmers are fully
up with their work. Mr. Scott plants
about 700 acres in corn, cotton and
hay crops and raises Jersey cattle,
hogs and worlds of poultry, and does
not go to the store to buy butter, ba-
con, eggs and such other things as he
can produce on the farm. Last year
he made about 5000 bushels of corn
and 10 bales of cotton.

This over, the clock was set bacl
half an hour, and in strong contras
with the turbulent scenes which hat
gone before, the house devoted itself tt
an exchange of courtesies. These were
the more notable by reason of the fac
that they marked the retirement of the
venerable speaker, Joseph G. Cannon
and the passage of house control from
a powerful republican majority to q
democratic majority ever larser. First
Speaker Cannon asked NJ Eaderwood
of Alabama, who will head the ways
and means committee of the new
house, to take the chair, and Mr.. Can.
non took a seat amid his colleagues.
Then speaker-to-be Clark offered a res.
olution paying a high personal tribute
to the retiring speaker, and Acting
Speaker Underwood put the resolu-
tion before the house, which adopted
it unanimously.

1T doesn't make a particle of differ.
ence whether we indorse what he has
him, whether we indorse what he has
done in whole or in part, or not at all.
1t is man with whom the historian
will deal in days to come, and he will
occupy large space. Human nature
is very curious and unreliable insti-
tuition. Under strife or circumstances
and aggravation good men say what in
good humor they never would dream of
saying. Courteous men when mad will
act discourteously. Men who. are or
dinarily just, when in temper will be
unjust. While we do not indorse ev-
erything that Speaker Cannon has
done or everything that Speaker Can
non has said, and while, perhaps, he
and all the rest of us would need to
ask that some of our verbal sins, at
least, should be forgiven, | offer this
resolution without retracing anything
