with Mayor Pat Murphy after the
close of the village election the other
night neatly and dispassionately laid
the militant mayor fiat on the floor OF
the post office and, with his knee
poignantly planted in the pit OF the
magistrates suffering stomach, babe
him ponder on the folly Of passing the
lie to a man of the cloth.
Fearing the descending wrath OF
righteous man, the mayor, supine and
taking three-inch breaths, called on
the astounded spectators, in the name
OF the state" not to mention the name
of humanity, to make the parson let
him up. This was done and Mayor
Murphy, as gracefully as possible,
considering his late recumbent posi-
ton, dissolved and foated toward the
prairies.
Rev. Mr.. Kinney is about five feet
eight inches high, Of medium build,
peaceful and kindly.

Late in the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Kin

him of permitting the saloons to re

! mentioned that the mayor, who was
elected on a reform ticket, had gone
over to the other side. Said tbs
mayor:

utes later, however, he returned to the
business street on an errand and
again encountered Mayor Murphy, this
time inside the post office. A silence
like still, subzeso night followed.
Then, like an icicle, contracting in
the cold, the pastor said:
so I'm a liar? Come outside; !

According to spectators, his tone
OF voice did not suggest, however, any
thing particularly violent.
Then the mayor threw his arms
about Mr.. Kinney and informed him
he was under arrest. Mr.. Kinney,
doubling the mayors authority and
also his grounds for arrest, folded the
mayor UP and sat on him.

PROGRESS OF TEXAS FARMER
There Will Be Considerably More Prep
aratjon of Land This Season
Than Ever Before.

There is q note Of encouragement
respecting progress in better methods
Of farming in the statement OF WIS.,
itor to Houston the other day, as to
conditions in his county, inasmuch as
there is abundant corroborative testi-
mony Of like conditions of progress
throughout the state.
There will be, said the party refer
red to, J. G. Meads Of Madisonville,
Tex, considerable more preparation
of lands this season by our farmers
than any other previous year, % &C
count Of the fact that the value OF
fertilizers is becoming better known
in our section of the state. Success
full demonstrations Of increased
Yields on fortified lands have been
made in our county, and these prac-
tfcal tests have been eye-openers to
our people. Our section Of the state
is comparing with other sections In
progress and growth, and We are en-
Toying fairly prosperous conditions.
And this in face Of the fact that
last year witnessed the production
of the smallest corn crop grown in
the state in several years, as well as
heavy falling off in the yield OF
other grain and forage crops. The
weather of the past few months has
put a better seasoning in the ground
| than has been known for many years
previous, and the fruits that natural
ly may be expected to follow under
favorable or even average weather
conditions during the growing season
should be abundant yields Of the
various crops planted and properly
tended.
These results will be increasingl,
assured by a more careful preparation
| OF the soil for the reception Of the
seeds, which, as we have previ
| ously Indicated, there are gratifying
evidences that farmers in every sec
ton of the state are undertaking t.
do. The farmers have within th'
most recent years been making mark
ed progress in attaining a knowledg'
of the science Of agriculture, an,
this knowledge they are applying t
the conditions which affect tillag
under varying soil characteristics
climatic influences and the divers
ties in the amount of moisture pecu
lar to different sections, WITH de
gree of intelligence that is distinctl
encouraging in the practical result
that follow in the way of increase
yields and larger net profits in RI
turn for the outlay Of capital an
energy.
/: The old idea that Is is not abst
1utely necessary to keep the soil il
| vigorated by the application ann,
ally Of fertilizer in some form c
another to even the most produ
tive lands is now pretty well explode
In the minds Of farmers in genera
and the acceptance of the truth of TIL
necessary change in methods of keel
ing up soil fertility necessarily fore:
larger preparation of the land prie
to planting than obtained under oil
methods, in order to achieve best r
suits from the use OF the fertilize
Thus, with an increased movemel
among the farmers to prevent SO
erosion and waste we may hope for
~anderful advance in Texas agricr

The achange Of life y is most
critical period in a Woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of sufocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread OF
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation OF the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, consti pation, vari-
able appetite eaness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when Woman's
/
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of Women's system at

We are, slowly, overcoming another
fault that has weakened the organiza-
ton, and that Is developing leaders
whose sole ambition is to use the in
fuence they create In the Farmers
| Union to help them in other lines.
There are plenty Of men could name
to you who have joined the union with
| the deliberate intention of leaving it,
after they have built up fences for
political prestige, for commercial ca.
reer, or some other selfish end. This
sort of leader must go. The only kind
who counts in the long run, is he who
enlists for the entire war, not for one
battle, and who gees into a Farmers
movement not to curry strength fol-
himself, but to stay in the organiZa
ton, growing more useful as he learns
| more and has the foolishness ham
mered out of him.
It is well in a year that promises tt
mark even higher mem bership records
than those now obtaining. that mem
bers bear in mind these simple frs
rules. They are necessary, if we art
to live up to our mission, develop gu,
highest usefulness and make our in
fuence felt in every field Of activity IL
