GOVERNOR CRUCE
ACCEPTS invite
TO ATTEND THE NATIONAL
FEEDERS AND BREEDERS SHOW
AT FORT WORTH.

Fort Worth, Feb. 4.-Governor Lee
Cruce, of Oklahoma, will be one of
the distinguished visitors at the fif-
teenth annual fat stock show to be
held in the Fort Worth Coliseum,
March 13 to IS. Governor Cruce was
invited by the officers and board Of
directors of the National Feeders
and Breeders Show under whose aus
pices the fat stock show will be held
in Fort Worth, to visit the live stock
show and has accepted.
In most courteous letter written
by Governor Cruce to Secretary Man.
ager RhOme of the National Feeders
and Breeders association, the Okla
homa executive says it would give him
the greatest pleasure to attend the
Fort Worth show. An effort will be
made to induce Governor Cruce to de-
liver an address on some subject OF
live interest to stockmen of the south
west while he is in Fort Worth.
Another visitor of national promi-
nence who will attend the fat stock
show is former President Roosevelt.
Arrangements have been made to
have Col. Roosevelt include Ft. Worth
in his Texas itinerary and he will be
the guest of the National Feeders and
Breeders association at a breakfast
to be given in the Coliseum building
on the morning of March IA. 1t is ex-
pected that he will make a short ad-
dress on Southwestern Development
to the visitors at the show immedi-
ately following the breakfast.
Thus far, with the date for closing
entries to the fat stock show, Feb.
is, still distant, the number of ami
mails from Oklahoma entered in the
various purebred cattle, hog, sheep,
horse and high grade mules classified
tions of the show is practically double
the number entered at this cores
ponding date for the 1910 show. Es-
pecial interest this year is being ta-
ken in the hog department by Okla
homa breeders and indications are
that big consignment of Oklahoma
hogs will be entered in the show.

kARMA, THE LAW OF CAUSE AND
EFFECT.

Karma is not a fate or destiny that
holds soul in its grip and makes
him its tool. Karma Ca Sanskrit word
meaning action) is the return force of
the energies We ourselves sent out; {;
it returns not to crush us but to in
struct us. The return or the reaping
is guided by lofty compassionate in
telligence, Gods will for the souls
evolution. Karma does not punish, as
it does not pardon; it but adjusts the
effects of causes. Always for our
instruction. though it comes to us as
pleasure sometimes. and sometimes
as pain, it desires to make us wiser
and nobler.
Each soul is its own absolute law
giver, the dispenser OF glory or gloom
to itself, the decreer Of its punish
ment." This is Karma, the law OF
cause and effect on all planes.
All souls everywhere are evolving;
but all are not Of equal capacity to-

The bill allowing cities of the first

urgent condition existing in some

Considerable merrment was occa-

enclosed proposed bill for the is

brotherhood of souls, but in the
brotherhood are the elder souls ana

a week old, more than 5000 retailers,
throughout the southern states, have
signed the call for the convention,
