F FARMERS DEMONSTRATION
 WORK IN THE SOUTH Secretary of Agriculture Sites Notable Example Of What
 Can be Done

Washington, July 13.-The Sec retary of Agriculture is much in- terested in reports of the success of the educational work among farmers inaugurated by the Unit ed States Department of Agricul- ture under the organization known as the Farmers Co-operat- i've Demonstration Work. He says that the secret of this success If 1t is a secret lies in the fact that so many men of local promi- hence and influence are found throughout the sections where this work is carried on who through unselfish motives are willing to sacrifice their personal interests if necessary in order to promote the general good of the communities in which they live.
 A notable example of this altru- istic spirit is shown in the instance of a demonstration agent for one of the populous counties of aver age area in southeastern Texas whose pratice of the principles of good farming as laid down by the Department covers a period of three years. In the midst of boil weevil territory this agent, in 1911 produced 164 bales of cotton, net ting him $1, ,237, on Is acres; and his corn averaged 75 bushels to the acre. While to devote his time to the work of demonstra- ton of farming methods among his neighbors involves consider able sacrifice in a monetary sense, he states his willingness to make this sacrifice because to quote his words, T am deeply interested il the work and know that our peo- pie will be greatly benefited. I want to assist in pulling out of the rut hundreds of people who now barely make a living by robbing the land that refuses to be robbed any longer"
 The influence of this demonsta- ton work upon the rising genera tion of young people is most mark ed. The agent herein referred to has a son, 17 years of age, who, inspired by his fathers example, won first prize in variety contests and also sweepstakes prize over all, in competition with other boys of his own and two adjoining counties. At the state fair last fall the same boy first prize in the variety class and second prize in sweepstakes, in a statewide com.
 petition. In a contest before the Texas Industrial Congress last
 winter he was awarded q prize of

A NEW CAR FENDER.

J. H. Schroeder called at the Mayors
Office Saturday to exhibit a model for
a car fender. 1t consists of netting
set in a frame which projects in front
of the car clear from any part of the
car. AS soon as a body is struck by
the fender it is supposed to fall into
the net, and in doing so must strike
against either one of the rods. AS soon
as it does the rods operate a three
way cock and release an air piston
which projects the fender upward with
the body in it. The rods also release
the air in the brake cylinders, which
automatically applies the brakes on
the car. The fender is fitted with
hinge which readily prevents its rising
should the forward end of the car go
down while going over an uneven track

Major Stearnes as
Superintendent.


our daily papers that Major r. S.
Stearnes is succeeded as superintend-
ent of the Algiers Railway & Electric
Company by E. Howard McCaleb is an
terror and quite contrary to facts. The
following notice has been posted in
the car barn of the electric road:
March 18th, 1912.
AT a meeting of the board of direc-
tors held this day. Mr.. c. E. A. Carr
was appointed general manager of the
company and Mr. r. S. Stearnes was
confirmed as superintendent of the
company"
The notice is signed by Leigh Car
roll. president.
The false report that Maj. Stearnes
had been retired as superintendent of
the company created quite a stir in
local circles and much regret was ex-
pressed by his friends, who number
hundreds here, but after investigation
We are pleased TO announce that Major
Stearnes is to remain here with us as
one of our good citizens and also as
superintendent Of the Algiers Railway
& Lighting Company. Major Stearnes
will occupy exactly the same position
with the new company as he did with
the old.
Mr.. E. Howard McCaleb's connection
with the company is that of attorney
and as local secretary of the syndicate
which has purchased both the Grand
Isle and the electric railway.
Something About Stearnes.
About September 1908 a genuine
hustler came to Algiers, one who made
many of the Algerines stand up and
take notice. He came as the new SUI
perintendent of the Algiers Water
Works & Electric Company. Within
few days electric wiring was COM
menced with renewed energy and
This hustler was Major Stearnes, who
also said he was going to build an
electric railroad for Algiers. He was
laughed at from the standpoint that it
would not pay; nevertheless he not
only conceived the idea, but he design
ed, built and operated the first cleo
trio road in Algiers; he became its
first superintendent, and he has now
been retained as the superintendent
under the new management who no
doubt at once recognized in Major
Stearnes fitness, quality and ability,
just as they did when Mr.. E. w. Bur-
gis was retained as superintendent of
the Grand Isle.
The Herald again congratulates this
new company and congratulations also
go out to the Major that he now has
charge of one of the branches of what
We believe to be live wire for AIgiers.
Major Stearnes has always been

interest in any movement started for
our betterment. He is respected as
man and citizen of recognized ability
by our merchants, and loved by those
whom he employs. The custom Of
celebrating the anniversary of the cleo
trio road in Algiers was started by
Major Stearnes Through this method
he brings together each year all of his
when they break bread to-
gether, vie with each other, and that
good fellowship born so long ago is
made ready to kindle up and beam
and blaze in any dark hour of advers-
ity.

Of these United States:

100; Harmon will not be the next
president, $50 TO so; Roosevelt
will not be president. 200 to 100;
Roosevelt will not get the majority
of delegates of his own state, New

MANKIND IS STILL MEDIEVAL
Woman Lawyer Says the Attitude To-
ward Her Sex is Unjust and
Barbarlc.

That legislation tending to make
marriage more difficult and divorce
easier would lessen some of the evils
of the social system was the opinion
put forward in talk on THE Law and
the Lady" by Miss Mary Wood, law
yer. at the Woman's Forum.
Miss Wood began her paper with
history of the attitude of the English
lawmakers toward woman, touching
on various statutes that now seem &C.
centric. such as the provision of the
middle ages, which limited the cost
OF the cloth in womaD's dress to
Twelve Pence yard.
And yet that was no more barbar-
ic." said Miss Wood, than the bill
OF the Massac husetts legislator, who
would have put a ban on the skirts
that were less than six inches below
the knee. decollete gowns and fancy
clocks on stockings. The bill was
killed. I don't know what happened
to the man who fathered it."--New
