SAYS INTERVIEW IS
UNJUST To sTOcKMEN

Judge II. c. Harding OF the Hall
Harding Commission company Of
Amarillo, in conversation yesterday
evening with a representative of The
Daily News, said Cattle men in
this portion OF the state feel that they
have been greatly wronged through
an interview printed under Fort
Worth date line in the Dallas News
of January 3. voicing expressions OF
Mark n. French. commission man
II the first named city. Mr.. French
is quoted as saying things for which
there is not the slightest foundation
of fact. according TO the most thor
ough Investigations throughout the
Panhandle proper. He states that
flour is being bought at grocery
stores to be fed to cattle" which ut
terance Is so ludicrous that | am as
tonished at It's publication in the Dali
las News.
Many others of the statements OF
Mr., French are equally fallacious
and hurtful to this section of the
state. feel that Mr.. French. who
Is accredited with saying that he has
Just returned from the Panhandle,
has not been in the Panhandle proper
and might not know just where the
section indicated by him is located
His story according to the item
given out of Fort Worth, is absurd
In the extreme and | am unable tc

Asked as to conditions as they
really exist in this portion of the
state, Judge Harding said. IL have

to strictly range stuff, and In th'

Implication that this countr!
has an inadequate supply of feed Il
of the most misleading character. A
matter of fact, some of the cat
tlemen had not availed themselve
of the feed OF the farmers before tn
storm. but there is an abundance o

plow up to the wheel tracks. nor let
any weeds grow to catch the snow
and block the roads in winter; re-
move all distractions, and give the
road the appearance of a park drive.
1t takes but little time for such work
and makes a great deal of difference
IN the appearance. Flower beds in
front of our houses close to the road
would break the monotony and make
u country roads as beautiful as the
city boulevards. Just a little extra
effort on h part of each individual
would make such a wonderful differ
ence that 1t would really surprise us,
Moreover, we could hardly miss the
time spent.
Farmers, let us lay aside this hu-
man s%elfishness. which seems to
cling to us more than other people;
let US interest ourselves more in pub
lie affairs: our churches. our schools,
all u public affairs need more at
more effort on the part of each Of us
will do SO much good. Of course our
homes must receive first considera-
ton; here is where the foundation Of
good citizenship should be laid. Let
no n think he can lay claim to good
citizenship who totally neglects his
public duty. We are II brothers
u is our duty TO help each
other, and by cooperating and helping
each other, we help ourselves.
Now, Mr.. Editor. ] really wish YOU
would put Il little of the vim YOU are
putting into fighting reciprocity and
for better farming conditions in gen.
eral. into this question of road i'm
provement. If this goes to the waste
basket I suppose l will receive just
punishment. but my enthusiasm for
better roads will not be diminished
any.

NOVELS FROM THE DEAD.

The assertion OF Professor HySlop
that Frank Stockton is writing stories
in the spirit world and preparing 10
send them through s~piritualistic Wire
less to mundane readers indicates a
means of knocking out the best SELL
ers-when the medium can produce
p book c~onvincingly in Stockton's
vein and up to the Stockton literary
standard.
But that condition introduces the
imminent possibility of other conlpli-
cation. If Stockton can send Il new
book over the StyX. obviously Shake
speare. Milton and the great produc-
ers Of the past can food our literary
markets and perhaps stiflc the mod
erns. If not, then there is obvious
work for some of the latter. We
should clearly expect Dickens TO fin
ish edwin brood" Thackeray to tell
the whole tale Of Denis Duval and
Stevenson to complete Weir OF
Hermistown." Then those great
minds can urn into competition with
other later and earlier of the worlds
great story-tellers.
Then there is the question to whom
the copyrights on literary master
pieces from spiritland will belong. BY
the allegation of the mediums they
are hardly of the rank Of private sec
retaries to the defunct but recrudes-
cent authors, but are really instru-
ments like graphophones. into which
the are whispered. The
plain inference is that the copyrights
must go to the heirs OF the authors
for forty-twO years. in which case
the imlnortals comld provide a steady
revenue for their descendants
through all generations.
However, these sp%eculations are
p~redicated on the condition that these
spiritualist masterpieces are produce
ed. So far the spiritual productions
have been the reverse of master
pieces. for which you can blame the
spirits " the mediums as your taste
directs.

A PlEA FOR BETTER ROADS

important subject receives a stray no.
whole, 1t is like a drop in the bucket
compared with the other farm DEPART
ments. l repeat. again. the shortest
way to practical road Improvement is
TO interest the farmer who receives
the most benefit at first hand.
TO make real progress in road i'm
provement. we must change u
methods Of road working somewhat;
IT Is not enough to construct good
roads. but we must pay more atten-
ton to their proper maintenance.
and proper maintenance means con-
ttnuous maintenance. We may build
good roads. giving careful attention
to all details, especially drainage.
Whlch is very essential in good Garth
road building, but if it is later neg
lected. much of the first cost is lost
and the road is unsatisfactory. 70
maintain a good earth road. we must
distribute u work over the entire
open season. by dragging with the
road drag whenever the road has
been cut up after a rain. The use of
the road drag is particularly inn
portant after the spring breakup: all
cuts should he closed up; no mud
holes shOld be allowed to form: the
grade should be rounded up so that
the water can run off frequently.
This uninterrupted dragging. year
after year. adding a little earth each
time, allowing it to be packed down
by travel. will make Il much harder
road than to put on several loads Of
loose earth. 1t may be all right to
change our system Of public road
construction, but ] firmly believe
their maintenance should be left to
the farmer, under proper supervision,
because he can do it more cheaply at
more nearly h proper time. A man
and four horses with a road drag, can
put a mile of road in excellent condi-
ton In an hours time after each rain,
II he Is interested in his work.
We farmers all need a little more
public pride; We should not only
glory In h possession Of fine horses
and other live stock. fine. large
call u own. but in our public build
ings. particularly our public schools
and grounds. and our highways
should receive more attention from
the standpoint Of beauty. We should
not begrudge the Jour rods that the
public use. by crowding our fences
out and narrowing the road. Two
rods IL generally enough for actual
r0Adbed. but We want twelve feet to
q road for a side road. When the
roadbed IL so rough we cannot drive
on 1t, which will happen sometimes.
