THE HOME PLANTING.

No home is complete without its
planting of trees and shrubs for
both fruit and ornamental purposes.
Every section has its peculiar nat
.ural conditions as to soils and eli
mate. and the varieties for home
planting must be selected with re-
gard to these natural conditions.
Much has been learned already along
this line in the Lower Coast and the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, and an I'M
usual opportunity will be afforded at
the coming meeting of the Rio
.Grande Horticultural Society to be
held at Riviera Sept so, to get this
information FROM those who have
actually done Considerable testing Of
different varieties, and in this way

TAKING THE TARIFF TO THE
VOTERS

The Tariff Exhibit, which Gov
ernor Wilson opened this moo in
Union Square, visualizes for the
voters the great issue OF this cam
paign. 1t is good news that the ex-
Ihibit is to be repeated, not only in
the outlying wards of Brooklyn, but
in other cities throughout the coun-
try. and that like exhibits are to be
put on wheels and taken from town
to town, as an ocular demonstration
Of just what the average citizen
pays in tariff taxes and of the rela-
ton of the tariff to the high cost of
living.
The speeches Of Governor Wilson,
Congressman Redfield and others,
are reproduced in part, at least, in
the newspapers. and thus help in the
general campaign of education on
the tariff. But the monotony of
campaign literature and campaign
speeches pals on the reader. What
takes hold Of his imagination are
the things he has actually seen. The

the manufacturers quotation of SIS

price of the goods was $2.T5, while
the same goods from the same milk
are sold in England at s1.S7; the
.typewriters sold here for $40, while
the eNperot price quoted by the max
ers on the same machine is $50
these. and examples like them, are
the things which bring the tariff
robbery home to the taxpayer once
he sees them. Changes in the ex-

IMPORTANT TO M

An announcement Of much import
ance to the farmers of this vicinity
is that of the meeting 10 be held at
the Little Indiana school house We'd
nesday night. At this meeting two
experts empoyed by the Frisco rail-
road will talk to the farmers on the
subject Of the boil weevil, and how
to fight 1t, and also on the cultiya-
tion of cotton, selection of seed and
kindred topics.
The disastrous havoc wrought by
the boil weevil in the Valley this
season should induce the farmers to
lend an attentive ear to the advice
upon the methods Of destroying this
pest which is thus placed at their
service by men who have made a
special study Of he subject. This
advice is rendered entirely free. The
railroads are equally as deeply in
terested in anything which may
benefit the cotton planters as the
farmers themselves. The Frisco has
secured the services of experts and
offers them free for the benefit of the
farmers.
Mr.. Dial comes with the reputa-
ton of having accomplished a great
work in practically destroying the
destructive boil weevil in the state
Of Oklahoma. What has been done
There may be done here.
Every Valley farmer should hear
Mr.. Dial and profit by his expert
ences.
Remember the time and place

NEW STOMACH REMEDY GUARANTEED
TO CURE OR MONEY IS REFUNDED
NO MORE DYSPEPSIA, GAS, sOURNEss OR HEARTBURN

For the first time undoubtedly in
the history of medicine a stomach
remedy is nov absolutely guaranteed
to cure. This exceptional offer is
made for Folwer's Indigestion and
Stomach Waters, which are now on
sale in San Antonio.
Harry l.. Fowler, a widely known
chemist. worked for years on this
cure before he offered it to the pub
lie. SO many were the cures effected
that up TO a short time ago he was
unable to supply the demand. Fa-
'~cilities for manufacture were in
creased, however, and 10 stomach
sufferers of this city and vicinity
can try this new cure at no risk to
themselves whatever. The reason Of
this is that with every box sold there
is an absolute guarantee that il not
cured the full purchase price will be

Proper Way to Build . Campfire In

There are several ways of building a

Fill the inside of the house with

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1912.
A WORD FOR THE BIRDS.

The resolution adopted by the Ma
tional Association OF Game Wardens
at its recent meeting, urging all Of
the states of the Union to adopt the
New York game law %forbidding the
sale of the plumage of wild birds for
millinery purposes should receive the
sanction Of all states which have no
such law. In Texas there is some
such law on the statute books, VIC be-
lieve, but it appears to be a dead let
ter. 1t is doubtful, indeed, whether
most Of the milliners of the state are
aware that such a law is on our
statute books. If we mistake not,
the Texas law not only forbids tho
sale Of wild birds plumage for mil
linery purposes, but also forbids the
purchase of such hat trimming,
making the punishment to fit both
the milliners and their patrons.
AS the Herald remarked at the
time OF the passage of this law in
Texas, it's enforcement probably
would make the jails of the state the
most popular resorts of fashion, for
a time, at least. Neither milliners
nor the purchasers Of millinery APP
pear to have given the subject much
thought.
1t Is not to be supposed, however
that women as a rule are hard-heart-
ed or Indifferent to the welfare of the
farmers, who are the greatest suf-
ferers on account Of the slaughter OF
the birds. Most women really love
the songIbirds and few would readily
consent to have even one ~feathered
songster slain for their W adorn-
ment. The subject just happens not
to have been put so as 10 secure the
cooperation Of the ladies. The real
friends of the birds should use some
means to induce the fashion leaders
to assist them and the crusade in be
half Of our feathered friends would
soon be a success.

that they are political offenders will

The strong and splendid lines, the
suggestion of mental power and OF
force, portrayed in the face of Wood
row Wilson are sufficient to make
him the choice of the people for
president. In comparison with the
fat, smiling countenance Of Presi-

expression which mars the face Of
Colonel Roosevelt. that Of Wilson
stands out in marked contrast. The
calm superiority and yet absolute

known authority in an endeavor t
find something that Mary might have
had which would have suggested thu
name to the S. A. boys.
Here are a few results of our worl
and we will give to the first person
who send in the correct explanation
of the problem (San Antonio answer
not considered), three pins and :;
piece of top string. We want tt
know why "Mary's Weakly"
We find in the Second Chapter o
A~ppleton's First Reader, published
in 1881 that:
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to 60"
There being no mention in this of
Wall Street, the fact that Mary had
a lamb and the further mention OF
its fleece" loses all significance and
would indicate tina this Mary was
not the woman in the case.
Looking further we find that
Shakespeare says:
"Fleas are black
But that not true, we KNOW
Because Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece CD was white as
snow"
There's nothing in this TO indicate
that the immortal William ever
dreamed of naming a paper for Mary.
And looking further into history we
find the following references to Miss
Mary in divers and ancient places:
Laura G. Libby wrote:
MARY had a Thomas Cat
Who warbled like Caruso,
1t was hit one night with a base
ball bat,
And now it does not do So"
Bacon fed this to his children:
MARY had a Maria Cat,
Oh. how | do dislike her.
And some night she will new til
late,
And then I'll mu-til-ate her."
The following by Burns would in
dictate that Mary was no drone and
herein may hang a thread Of hope:
MARY had a swarm Of bees,
And they to save their lives
Always went where Mary went,
Because Mary had the hives
John ID. Rocken felt her need for
light when he wrote in his ancient
history of the Five Foolish
Virgins" Of Mary:
Mary had a little lamp,
Twas filled with kerosene,
One night she went and lighted it,
And has not since benzine."
And only the other evening we
took Miss Mary out to dinner and
Mary had a little lamb
With green peas on the side,
The check called for $1.S9,
And yours truly nearly died.
And now, boys, it's up to you,
We may appear quite meekly,
But there's no telling what we'll do
To find the reason why-Mary's
Weakly.
