INCONSISTENCY ETC.

When hard times strike town,
expenses must be cut down, and
the first place to feel the effect OF
the 'cut-down" is the printing
Office. But just let some outside
advertising scheme pop up, and
the merchant takes that sort.
Then to pay for that sort of adj
vertising" the merchant must
pull out his advertisement in the
home paper. But when there is
anything good the merchant
wants said of his business he is
very eager to let the editor know
about it, so he can publish it, thus
get some free advertising, and,
if salesman representing a
foreign concern comes into the
community selling goods, to the
newspaper Office, here comes the
merchant and says to the editor.
You must lambast those fellows;
tell the farmers if they don't
want to get humbugged, cheated
and robbed, steer clear of them
they're grafters; tell them the
merchant helps build the
churches, the school houses, pays
taxes, and as matter of the loyal:
ty you owe to fight for the support
of home institutions, you must

editor, knowing it to be his duty
to protect the merchant, grabs

TEXAS HAS 100000 MILES
OF PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

Austin, Texas, Feb. 15.-Texas high
way mileage at present approximates
100000. 1t is estimated that there are
1880 miles of improved highways in
Texas; of this number $500 miles may
be considered as one Of the highest
grade.
In the building of highways it is
found that methods of construction
vary considerably and the materials
used are those that are most suitable
to natural conditions and that are
most easily obtainable in the sections
where the roads are being built. The
most popular materials are SHE'LL
gravel, macadam, sand, clay and
crushed rock.
The 1880 miles of good roads men,
toned above are those upon which
money has been expended for i'm
provement. In addition to these, there
are thousands of miles of roads in
Texas that are in excellent shape
nearly all the time under natural con
ditions and are passable all the year
round.

WHITE HOPES TO BATTLE

New York, Feb. 15.-Jim Flynn OF
Pueblo, the conqueror of Carl Morris,
and AL Balzer, the Iowa white hope,
will meet in mortal combat the Ma
tional Sporting Club tonight, and the
winner will probably be the man to
fight Jack Johnson for the heavy
weight championship of the world
The winner of the bout will come
pretty near being hailed as the great
est of the hopes until Carl Morris or
Bombardier Wells show something
better than they have in the past.
Morris has improved so much of late
that he will probably be entitled to d
chance at the loser of tonight's elm
nation contest, and If he wins will
tackle the winner.
Jack Johnson will probably have to
give the winner chance at the crown
that now rests on his chocolate bean,
as he can not expect to retain the
title indefinitely without defending it.

A Porterhouse Steak.

The same authority says: "a por-
terhouse' steak is choice cut of steak
from the loin, so named, apparently,
first in New York from well known
porter house and eating house where
chops, steaks, etc.. and porter or stout
were served, at which these steaks
were a speciality.
"a steak grilled between two other
steaks, which are not served after the
cooking is finished. is also sometimes
called 'porterhouse' steak"
Not in these days of high cost meat

very generally followed, however.-Na-

GIANTS GATHER FOR TRIP
Getting Ready to Come South for
Spring Practice-WiII Train
at Marlin.

New York, Feb. 15.-Youngsters
who will be given chance to wear a
Giant uniform this year are gathering
in New York today for the trip south,
which will start in a couple of days.
All OF the Eastern recruits will leave
in party from New York, while the
youngsters will rendezvous in st.
Louis to start for Texas on Sunday.
The regulars will start from New York
early next week, and by the last of
next week practice will be on in full
swing at the Marlin (Texas) camping
ground Manager McGraw will start
south in day or two so as to be on
hand to welcome the first bunch of
arrivals.
There are any number OF young
sters in the bunch who may be able to
make good in the Giant uniform, and
in this galaxy the bright particular
star, in McGraw's opinion, is Jess
Tesreau, the strapping young pitcher
from the Ozarks, who was sent to the
Toronto Eastern League for season
ing and who delivered even better
goods than was expected.
When the regulars and youngsters
get together at Marlin, Manager Nc

OUTBREAK OF FALL ARMY
WORM,

The Fall Army Worn which has
caused great destruction of corps in
Southern States this summer, has APP
peared in several places in Maryland
during the past week 1t has de-
stroyed fields Of alfalfa and millet
and seriouly damaged late corn,
spinach and other crops. 1t has also
ruined many blue grass lawns.
At the present time it seems high
ly probable that there will be another

siroy the pupae, which are now just
below the surface of the soil III in
tested fields.
In cases where crops have been
destroyed, the denuded land should
be plowed as deeply as possible at
once. Such land should be kept
clean by narrowing and the planting
Of any crop should be delayed as
late as practicable.
Practical tests by this Department
during the past week have proven
that the poisoned out-w ork bait is
the most effective remedy where
practical to employ. This bait is
made by mixing one half pound
paris green or pounds Arsenate Of
Lead aud enc gallon of m ,lasses. or
10 pounds of sugar to 80 pounds of
bran or wheat raildllngs. These
materials should be mixed together
thoroughly and then dampened to
make a wet rlash. 1t should be
sowed broadcast ever the infested

In treating corn or other similar
corn, the poison is best applied in
dust from by mixing one part Of the
poison to 20 parts of -four or air

worms from one field to another, or
parts thereof, can be prevented by
blowing deep furroxs into which the

his view upon the matter. The notes
are to be considerably smaller, but
YET not so small that the difference in
size will be likely to occasion much
comment. The difference n size
will, however, according to the

is to be a uniformity in size between

but much greater difference in the
