START
Movement To lengthen Term
Of Inflrmary Directors

The iniirmary directors throughout
the state are loath to give up their
positions and the boards of six coun-
ties, including Clark. Hamilton, Mont.
gomery and some Of the 9th r. larger
counties OF the state are now thinking
seriously of instituting legal proceed
ings In an effort 10 have their terms
extended. II the term OF directors In
these counties are extended the same
rule will apply to Knox county, and
the local inlirmary directors would
serve about eight months longer.
The members OF the infrmary
board, II is said, VIII set up claim for
an extension of their term upon the
theory that they were elected under
the provisions that they shall serve
until their SUCCESSORS have been elect
cd and qualified. Under this conten-
ton, they hold they viii continue In
Office to September IS. 1913. when
the board Of commissioners, to be
elected ut the coming November elec.
ton take up their duties.
The prosecuting attorneys OF a
number OF counties. however, have
given their boards but little encour.
agement. holding that the law which
abolished the office Of innrwary direc'
tor repealed the law under which the
present infirmary board we're elected
and consequently the duties Of the
Office would fall into the hands Of the
county commissioners after the first
OF January.
The question Will probably be sub
mitted to Attorney General Hogan
who will give a ruling In the case
and settle II.

What It 10 Doing to Stimulate Inn
proved Farming Methods-Thou-
sands Of Dollars In Prem
lums OFFERED.

Hon. Robert j. Kleberg Of Kings
vile, who was the first president Of
the Texas Industrial Congress and
who has been actively identified with
it ever since its organization, has writ
ten to Col. Henry Exall at Dallas, an
proving the prize contest of the con-
gress as follows:
Since your visit in Kingsville and
your address to the people OF this
community / am more than ever i'm
pressed with the great force that the
offering of large prizes will have in
the agricultural education Of the peo-
pie of Texas, and in consequence
thereof the industrial prosperity OF
Texas. think it is generally conceded
that only those who are seeking an
education are capable of acquiring
one. Much time and treasure are
wasted every year in trying to educate
those who do not care for it. Again,
much time and money are spent
in our agricultural colleges try
ing to educate farmers by lectures and
books; they may learn the theory and
science in that way, put they are not
yet able to do the things on the farm
and get the best results. This can
only be taught and learned by doing
/ in the field what has been taught by
( lectures and books.
| by the prize method of education
the paltry sum of $4,000 makes thou
sands of our farmers enter the contest
! for prizes All these contestants are
anxious to learn how to win the prizes
and they are all students, seeking ar
education from the time they entel
the contest. They are not only willing
to listen to lectures on agriculture anc
to read all the bulletins and books OF
the subject, but they are willing to DE-
what they never did before-work ou
these questions in the fields-'doint
things
"Our business men see how the sue
cess of the farmer opens the way TO-
greater success in business, and thel
think they are going to increase loea
production and agricultural education
by supplementing the prizes offere'
by the Industrial Congress.
81 believe the offering of substantial
prizes the most economical and effect
i've method OF educating our agricul
tural classes and improving our in
dustrial prosperity and everybod
should aid in this work"
Application to enter the contes
should be made before April ! to tn
headquarters of the congress at Da
