Laws which haze been passed in Il
number Cf states enable farm owners
to have tlcir farm name copyrighted
by the payment Of ii dollar fee. Too
many go Oh the principle that it is
better not to name the farm until GER
tain Improvements and cleaning up
have been done. The writer holds it
Il better plan to put the name of the
farm on neat signboard at the front
of the premises. Then if the condi-
tion Of the premises is not on a par
with the dignity OF the name chosen
there is a constant incentive to make
it so.

FINE PRE-N0RMAN CHURc"

Many churches in Britain owe their
origin to the piety of the Norman in-~

great period Of church building are not
SO One such pre-Norman
edi1ce is the fine old parish church OF
Worth, nea Three Bridges. A little
book, written by Rev. Arthur Bridge,
the rector Of Worth, tells the his
tory Of what is aptly described as
one of the most remarkable relics OF
a bygone age It seems probable hat
the church passed with the Manor OF
Worth under the will Of Alfred the
Great to his third son, Ethelward.
Archaeologists will be lavish of thanks
to Mr.. Bridge for the interesting and
useful little record of his unique
church. He tells us that Worth ex'
hibits the earliest example Of the pure
ly English cruciform building. and its
semi-circular eastern end is OF very an
cient date. But the whole church, as
might be gathered, possess many fea'
lures which make it Of peculiar fascln'
alton to the student of the antique.
The windows, for instance. have not
suffered restoration" and are well

DAGtERREOTYpEs COMING RACK

From the New York Times
 People are inclined to smile at praise of the daguerretotype of our grand fathers,' said a photographer the other day, but I want to say that the photo- graph of the present day is no improve ment on it for artistic delcacy, for beauty and for quality. In subtlety of likeness, nothing ever has equaed the daguerrec- type of 70 years ago, and those who pos- sess any of them should treasure them as the choicest heirlooms
 Most styles move in cycles. and it is the same with photographs. Many pho tographers are taking up the daguerreo- type again. In view of the advance in photography it is now possible to make daguerreotypes that are permanent, flor the originals were wont to fade when ex- posed to light. That's why they were al- ways put in covered cases.
 There is at least one very good reason for the daguerreotype being better and that is that there is nothing but the cam era lens between the subject and the pie ture, and the only loss is the reversal Of the subject. Another thing is that the highly polished silver plate of sthe daguerreotype makes possible the greatest amount of detail, and the softer shadines much of which is lost in photograp pghs today by the rough surface of the emul- ison on the negative, by the opaoueness of the glass in printing, and the uneven- ness of the paper"

Glad It Is Settled

'I am glad that the city commission and the Bell Telephone company have come to terms on the question of rates and that litigation has ceased" said a business man. ''The advance in rates will cost me something, but I am willing to pay so long as in cities of Birmingham's approximate size rates quite as high are charged.
 'The best of it is that the compromise is in line with the get together spirit It has already had a good effect on the busi- ness community. l do not pretend to be a psychologist but it is natural to find the public breathing freer when agitation over any large question comes to an end, peaceably and by mutual consent. so to speak. When I feel that I am being imposed upon I am quick to complain. I occasionally knock, and when do knock hard. But it is wearying to live in a community that acquires the knocking habit. At any rate, I am glad the South ern Bell and the commission have signed up."

Petroleum In Texas

q have just returned, said w. W. Silk yesterday, from the Electra field, located about 150 miles from Fort Worth, in Wich- ita county, which is bounded on the north by Oklahoma. In the words of Dr. Will liam B. Phillips, the coming In of this field has changed the oil situation in Texas. It has entered upon new phase. The wells are not deep, but they are wonderfully maintained, and the oil is of the highest quality.
 While my company. the Five Rivers oil and Gas company, is still boring hopefully at well No. 1 in the Fayette district of this state, yet it has secured 2OOO acres of land in the Electra district, and will transfer to it it's chief energies. I go back next week to Electra and drilling soon will be begun by this company in that well proven field.
 'The oil experts say the Electra field is even more promising than the coastal districts which have heretofore yielded great quantities of oil. The oil in the Electra field is greatly wanted, and four pipe lines are being pushed to it. Our company will soon be busly at work in that field"
