Relatives in this county have been
advised by wire of the killing of Mr.

merly resided in this county himself.

PESsIMlST'S DoLEFUL SONG.

The following comes from an I'M
known newspaper: IA dog sat in the
midnight chill and howled at the beam
ing moon; his knowledge of music was
strictly nil, and his voice was out of
tune. And he howled and howled as
the hours went by, while lodging the
bricks we threw, till the moon was
low in the western sky, and his voice
had split in two. And there wasn't a
thing at which the howl over which a
pup should keep and the course of
that dog was wrong and foul, for peo-
pie were wild to sleep. There are
plenty of men like that blamed fool
hound, who yell when there's nothing
wrong, disturbing the country with
senseless sound-the pessimists dole
full song. Abilene Reporter.
With some people if it thunders,
there is going to be an overflow; and
IL it the sun shines, we are going to
have long and fearful drouth. The
boil weevils are sure to destroy all
the cotton and the chinch bugs will
ruin the corn. A late freeze will catch
the fruit, and the signs are right for
a terrible sickly season. The summer
is going to be long and hot, and We
are sure to have an early winter and

THE DAMAGE SUIT INDUSTRY.

A fair sample of the manner in
which railroads and other industries
are frequently held up has recently
come to light in San Antonio. A man
was sinjured by falling from a train,
brought suit and got big compro-
mise He was soon well and now the
railroad is suing him, and the facts
in the case are set out in the roads
petition as follows:
That on or about November 22, 1910,
the defendant was employed by the
plaintiff as freight train checker on
local freight in and out of stations !;
that while riding on moving train
owned by the plaintiff near D'Hanis
the defendont fell off and was brought
back to San Antonio, placed in the
hospital, and, at the expense of the
plaintiff, received medical treatment
and attention. The petitioner alleges
that after leaving the hospital that the
defendant, under the name of l.. W.
Clemens, filed suit in the district court
of Bexar county asking for $4,000
damages for personal injuries, claim
ing these were of permanent nature.
On November 10, 1911, plaintiff al
leges, the sum of $925O was paid to
defendant as a compromise of this
claim.
The petition further sets up that a
short time after this settlement the
defendant discarded the use of his
crutches, was able to move about the
house and later to come downtown I'm.
assisted. That on January 10, 1912,
the defendant, under the name of l..
w. Klein, enlisted in the army at Fort
Sam Houston and is now stationed at
Sanderson, Tex. Prior to his enlist
ment in the army, it is claimed, the
defendant was examined by compe-
tent surgeon of the United States
army and not only were none of the
injuries alleged to have been sus-
tanned in the railway accident found,
but he was in perfect health.
In conclusion the petitioner alleges

Living at Home.

When you tie up with the merchant
in the early spring to get him to run
you" it's fine. 1t makes you feel big
to walk in his store, make purchase
and tell the clerk to charge it," Next
fall when he begins to run you" with
about fifteen bill collectors to collect
your store account" the thing changes
up and you don't feel quite so big
Bryan Eagle.
The fewer advances the Texas
farmer has to ask for the better will
be his chance of coming out with a
balance in the bank at the end of the
year. If the stuff that is being hauled
from the store to the farm could by
any practicable means have been
produced on the farm it would have
| been the part of wisdom to produce ii
/ there. Bacon is one thing no farmer
should buy Feed for the farm ami
mails is another item that the farmer
ought to produce. Canned goods that
are bought at the store and which pay
profit to growers and Gamers in Cal
ifornia or New York ought never to be
needed on the Texas farm. When the
Texas farmer learns to live at home to
the extent of his ability as a producer
the problem of paying bills when the
crop is sold will cease to confront him
and the boys and girls of the farm
will be happy and contented to stay
with the land.-Galveston News.

Teachers shonld Aettend.

Much is said and being done these
days in West Virginia along the lines
of education. The talk and action
are not confined to educators by any
means. Candidates, legislators and
voters as well as state and county
officers generally are engaged in the
matter. There are also many
teachers talking, urging and acting.
But, there is still something very
much lacking as shown by a recent
letter from the secretary OF the
West Virginia Education Associa-
ton, in which he requests the Tele-
gram to aid in arousing school
teachers to the Importance Of at
lending and encouraging the annual
convention of the association to be
held in Wheeling June 1921. The
secretary says in his letter:
1.-THE West Virginia Education AS
ISOLATION is the one oganization in
West Virginia that is maintained
and controlled by the teachers OF
West Virginia and it exists solely
for the purpose of lettering the
schools through the improvement of
the teachers"
What the secretary says as
quoted is true, and it is hard to be-
lieve that there is or can be so much
indifference on, the part of the great
majority of the teachers in. this
state. They ought to be >selfsh
enough to help themselves. and
when they have done that they have
helped the schools. Everyone oil
them should be members of the as
sociation and then 1t VIII be theirs
in real truth.

1nstrncting the Farmer.

AS indicating the diversity of
methods employed to keep the
United States in its position as the
greatest agricultural nation in the
world the United States Bureau of
Education notes that instruction in
efficiency methods on the farm is
now given in this country through
no less than eleven main agencies.
These agencies, according to pub
location just issued for free distri-
button by the bureau, are elementary
and secondary schools, and agricuI-
tual high schools; county schools OF
agriculture; travelling schools teach
ing the same pursuit, farmers edu-
cational trains; farmers institutes;
agricultural clubs and like organi-
cations; gardens for city schools;
normal; schools of agriculture; and
colleges of agriculture.
In order to supply the basis for
a. complete understanding of this
movement Edward ID. Greenman, in
charge of the reference section of
the United States Bureau of Dduca-
ton, has compiled a comprehen-
siye photography on the subject:
The photography includes S77 en-
tries dealing with every type of
activity designed to promote agri-
cultural education in this country
and abroad.
"The majority of these refer
lences," said Mr.. Greenman yester-
day. fare of comparatively recent
date, for the reason that the move
ment toward agricultural education
itself has attained considerable pro-
portions only within very few years
Thus, it is interesting to note that
the first chair in agricultural educa-
ton, as such, in this country was
founded by the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural college in 1907, Nov
about two-thirds of the agricultural
and mechanical colleges in the Uni
ted States are Offering some oppor-
tuhity for special preparation for
teaching agriculture. Agricultural
institutions of college grade have OF
course been in existence for many
years, but the agricultural educa-
ton of children is a movement OF
such recent growth that like the
pupils, it may almost be said to be
even now in its teens"
In addition to a photography on
agricultural education in all its
phases, the Bureau of Bducauon's
monograph contains the most ex-
haustive compilation of literature
on the teaching of domestic science,
cookery and home economies yet
brought together. This part of the
bulletin, which was compiled by
Miss Edith A Wright, of the Bureau
of Education's library staft, con-
sists Of 200 entries.
"The nationwide movement fol
the instruction of young girls in the
household arts as parallel courses
to those in agriculture which are
taught their brothers" said Miss
Wright yesterday, as even more OF
an innovation than the teaching Of
agriculture itself to children. New
ertneiess the newer subject has made
such rapid strides that to-day prac-
tically every elementary school OF
high school which offers agricui
ture to its pupils also includes do.
