shrivelled. Early promises is
not to be depended upon to
yield practical returns. as is
readily observed this year. Mr..
Lazarus believes that the farm
ers should lay aside their long
ing for a corn crop and exert
themselves to raise such pro-
ducts as maize, which may al
most be said to be beyond fail
ure IN this section of the state.
The day of cheap beef has
gone, never to return. There
are few farmers who cannot
raise few head of cattle and
get them in prime market condi-
ton with their maize or equal
dependable fodder, and sell them
for cash at good prices. The
Observer cannot but think that
too many of our farmers are
chasing the rainbow and finding
poverty or hardships, through
trying to grow crops not suited
TO the climatic conditions of this
section Of the state. Nature is
so prodigal as regards the yield
of maize. kaffir and sorghum in
this part of the state that it
would seem worse than folly to
undertake to make an Illinois
corn field out of our West Texas
prairies. Let our farmers raise
the maize. sorghum, kaffr and
such feed stuff, and sell the
crop to their steers and then sell
the steers TO the packers or the
Illinois feeders. and they will
soon have their bank account on
the right side of the ledger. The
only reason why so many of US
are in Strengthened circumstances
is that we have become rainbow
chasers instead of being prac-
teal men. You can't raise pine

All the material has been pur.
chased for the extension.
The new town of Roaring
Springs lies in a beautiful ex-
panse of country, Mr.. Lazarus
says, and a system of water
works will be installed and a
sewer system built so that those
who live in the town will have
at least those conveniences.
There is ample water coming
from the springs to furnish a
never failing water-supply and
for factory and manufacturing
purposes. The natural water
supply is found within nine feet
of the surface.
Mr.. Lazarus did not commit
himself in regard to the fur
Their extension of his road at this
time. but it is believed that this
construction work marks the
commencement of the building
of this line to a connection of
the Santa Fe system and also
into New Mexico somewhere in
the Pecos Valley. probably at
Roswell.

car with passenger capacity of

A WORD OF WARNING
(New Haven Union. )

Rumors multiply and evidence ac- cumulates to indicate only too clearly that there is a movement on in Demo- cratic circles StaItewise to give the entire vote of the Connecticut delega- ton to the Baltimore convention to a certain asprant for Presidential hon. ors. The motives and reasons that prompt this action are many. but none of them in our opinion is cal culated to improve the Democratic situation in Connecticut.
 persisted in, the engineers of this movement might as well understand now that they will have to, reckon with a progressive sentiment still ex- istent in the Connecticut Democracy that may be ignored with impunfty at this time but will most surely take its innings later on. No decision or the State Democracy in convention assembled that entirely waves aside the claims Of Champ Clark and Wood row Wilson to quite as liberal a rep gation to Baltimore as that accorded to any other candidate will be other than grossly misrepresentative Of Democratic sentiment in this State.
 Connecticut Democracy stands ready to loyalty support any one of the many able Democrats who may be presented for Presidential considera- tion to the Baltimore convention; but Connecticut Democracy is entitled 70 have it's varied judgment on this mat ter of Presidential candidates properly reflected in the delegation selected on May 1 and 2 at Bridgeport. A failure to do this will be worse than a plumber. It will be politically sui cidal
