The advocates of the proposed leg
islation to protect calves estimated
that about 100000 calves are
slaughtered in the United States each
year, and that if these calves were
allowed to reach an age of three or
four years before being slaughtered
the supply of beef would be in
creased 9,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds and
the leather supply augmented by
279,O0O.O00 feet. These are consid-
erations worth taking into account.

How Houston and Galveston Impress
the Tourist.
N q
(By Henry G. Gilmore.)


Houston, with its 100, 900 popula-
ton, not reckoning outlying districts
which one day will help to make it a
Greater Houston" is a city of i'm
mense possibilities. The two other
large cities-Dallas and Fort Worth
are centers of large inland inter
ests, but Houston's proximity to the
gulf and its early direct connection
with every large foreign mart by
means of the sea channel-now be-
ing undertaken by the state, with
very substantial federal assistance
render it point of special interest
to navigators and others looking to
the great things of the future. Like
Birmingham and Atlanta, the pres
ence of northern Drawn and intellest,
coupled with almost unlimited capital
in the way of investments, are sure
to produce results of a far-reaching
and uplifting character. Houston has
not only many hotels of the best type
TO accommodate an ever-increasing
stream of tourists and seekers of
business ventures, but its schools,
churches and business blocks all de-
clare that fact that nothing short
of the best is imperative in the
building up of the city's interests.
The Rice Hotel, Is stories high
and furnished and equipped in the
most up-to-date fashion, is a monu-
ment of modern hostelry achieve
ment of which few cities can boast.
The Rice Institute for business and
technical training stands absolutely
by itself throughout the southland
as the means of furnishing the very
best curriculum for educational ad-
vancement.
William H. Rice built and en-
dowed the institution with his mil
lions, and careful scrutiny of it's
wonderful operations is one of the
most refreshing entertainments that
could fall to the lot of any man in
tent upon ascertaining the why's AMI
wherefores of sound, practical edu-
cation. The Polytechnic school of
Ashland would be supremely inter
ested in looking over this Houston
creation of diversified educational in
terests, and visit at no distant day
should be made by ore or more of
the Ashland faculty

Economists estimate that the life
of each adult human being is worth
$4,000 to the community. When it
is realized that thousands of cases of
tuberculosis, typhoid, diphtheria and
scarlet fever are introduced yearly
by the house fly, the slogan of swat
the fly takes on real economic
significance. The actual dollar and
cents cost of fly-borne disease each
year would probably pay for the
complete eradication of the pest

Twelve Oak Park, Illinois, women,
constituting the first full woman
jury ever empaneled in Illinois to
hear misdemeanor case, proved
themselves first jurors and then
women and mothers. They carried
out the law as they saw it. They re-
turned verdicts of guilty in two cases
and assessed fines, and then they had
a good Cry, declared they didn't mean
to do it and had the court costs re-
mitted. 1t was confusion of tears
and smiles in the court room after
the verdicts had been read. The
woman defendant and her four chill
dren claimed the tenderness of the
jurors, and one by one they filed up
to her, put their arms around her
neck and told her they were sorry.

The true home-our never failing
fountain of happiness-should be
kept pure. AS an intelligent, pro-
gressive people we cannot afford to
let anything lower our standard of
civilization. Most of us have an ideal
mental and physical perfection, and
we owe that condition to posterity
The child, like plants and flowers,
needs to be carefully and thoroughly
cultivated. That culture should be-
gin early-yea, in the germ-to at
tain the end sought.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Home Happiness.

The responsibility of making home
happy does not rest on one but equal
ly on two. How can a man love to
stay at home when the home is any,
thing but neat? His meals poorly
prepared and presided over by care
less, slouchy looking woman? And
how can a woman without any en-
couragement be all that a wife
should be when herself and children
are neglected, half clothed and half
fed, the father and husband, if not
drunk, sitting around the store whit
Ting and indulging in chat that is
far from becoming gentleman?
The combined efforts of both will
succeed, though it will take days,
weeks and even years, but be patient.
A crown awaits you. Don't, hus-
bands and wives, so far forget your
selves as to speak of each others
faults to other people. Before doing
this ask yourselves, For what did
/ marry?" If you are married with
out first considering the subject,
well, you made broad mistake. If
you married for beauty, wealth, to
please some one else, or to keep from
being called an old maid, be content
with your lot, or if not content, make
the best you can of the situation.
You don't deserve pity, for you shut
your eyes and didn't even try to see.
Now if you are unhappy, shut your
eyes again and try not to see the
faults of him whom you wed. If you
had the courage to marry a stranger
and have got in trouble, console your
self with the fact that you have per-
formed as dangerous feat as Hob
son did when he sank the Merrimac.

Ashland Friends Noincrm;s in Hous-
ton.

Limited for time, we were COM
PEELED to restrict our visitation to a
single individual-Dr. X. F. Purdy,
brother-in-law to Mr.. E. V. Carter,
the well-known banker and Jealous
worker for the best interests of Ash
land. DR.. Purdy has for many years
been citizen of Houston and is op-
timistic enough to believe that, with
the completion of the channel and
other large undertakings, an era of
great prosperity is very perceptibly
dangling in the air. The mere men
tion that the cotton crop alone will
probably put $500,O00,000 in Texan
Golfers this year produced a twinkle
in the doctors left eye, of unmistak-
able import.
Immense Sea Walls at Galveston.
The terrible catastrophe of twelve
years ago, by which Galveston was
almost washed off the face of the
earth, resulted in the erection of bull
warks that all hope will for all time
prevent any like occurrence. The
sea walls are prodigious examples of
engineering skill of the highest type,
and one can hardly resist the conclu-
sion that the tidal waves must be
extraordinary indeed to resist the re-
pelling influence of these gigantic
bulwarks.
Galveston is so miles south of
Houston; is on an island and reached
only by trolley or steam car on a
five-mile causeway connecting witt
the mainland. The city is attractive
in many particulars and large ship
ping business and bathing facilities
are features of this city by the sea.
