SWEET CLOVER GROWTH
Some Has Been Planted IN lub-
book County and is Proving
a Good Thing

Time develops many things,
and in the way of feed stuff in this

been great during the past few
wears. New feed crops are being
introduced and it is found that
a great percent Of those tried
out here are successfully raised.
Among the latest varieties OF
feed is Sweet Clover. This year

Amazing as at sounds, we be-
lieve that the worst enemies of
Lubbock are people within our
county. Why? Because with
their pessimistic song of dull
times. drouth. poor corps. etc
etc. they sometimes make a big
ger noise that the optimlst can
with a megaphone. Not that
everything is ideal, nor that
we have the best crops ever rails

Standardization.

Standardization is not by any
means the new and revolutionary
thing that efficiency engineers and
scientific management takers would
have you believe. Standardization
is, in fact, as old as the hills.
Take wheels-buggy wheels, for ex-
ample. They are all the same stand
ard size, and they are painted in just
a few standard colors. When a bug
gy wheel breaks, you don't have to
get one made to order. You replace
1t at any shop-it's standard size.
All circus rings, the world over, are
precisely the same diameter to an
inch, no matter what may be the size
of the tent itself. Thus the circus
rider knows the angle at which he
must lean-the angle of safety in Osh-
hosh is the angle OF safety in Copen-
hagen.
Ladders are standardized. The hod
carrier, with his heavy load, need new

rung, on a builders ladder is seven

Treasure Hard to Get At.

News that fresh attempt is to be
made to recover sunken treasures
from the ship General Grant recalls
the story of that i'll fated vessel. She
sailed for London from Melbourne in
1856 and was wrecked off the Auck-
land islands. For two years her dis
appearance remained mystery. Then
chance led to the rescue of a few sur
vivors, who told how the vessel had
been dashed against cliff 400 feet
high and in sinking had been swept
into a cave at its base There for
close on half century the wreck has
lain in fourteen fathoms of water,
with treasure to the value of $780,
900 In the bullion room to tempt the
treasure hunter. The estimate may
be an exaggeration, but the report
has already attracted five we'll
equipped expeditions. The swirl of
the tide and the deadly backwash
within the cave have 80 far defied the
efforts of the most skillful and daring
divers to reach the treasure. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the sixth
attempt will share the failure of its
predecessors.

RIGHT TO PLACE IN HISTORY
Young German Discovered Error In
Constitution That Had Hitherto
Evaded All.

An error, SO patent as to be termed
glaring, has existed in the very first
sentence of the Constitution of the
United States since its adoption, un-
detected, as far as can be ascertained,
by lawyers or rhetoricians. Strange
to say, the error was only exposed by
foreigner applying for citizenship,
whose ability to understand this foun-
dation stone of our government was
being called into judicial question.
A young German, who, five years
ago, had taken out his first papers,
that is, declared his intention to be-
come an American citiZen-was re-
Gently taking out his final papers"
in court of the District. One of the
essential steps in this procedure is the
examination of the applicant by the
Judge as to his knowledge of the Con-
stitution. The form of the question Is,
by immemorial custom. as follows:
Have you read the Constitution of
the United States, and. if 80, do you
understand it?"
In this instance the young German.
to the astonishment of the examining
Judge, replied:
Yes, your honor, and l think the
men who wrote it did not know how
to write correct English. The very
first sentence is defective"
What do you mean?" queried the
judge, bewildered by this foreign at
tack upon the bulwark of our liberties.
why" replied the German, the
first sentence says: We, the people
of the United States, in order to form
more perfect Union Now, accord
ing to the best, or indeed, any author
ity, the word perfect means some
thing that is by it's very nature su-
perlative; 1t cannot be improved upon.
How, then, could the people of the
United States form a more perfect
Union? If it was perfect before, they
could add nothing to increase it's per-
fection. 1t might be made more effec-
tive or more binding, but certainly not
more perfect"
The young German got his papers
without more ado.

RoumanIan Tobacco.

Roumania, the dark horse of the
Balkans. may be said to have been
waited into good government on a
cloud of tobacco smoke. For 1t was
the tobacco monopoly established by
the degenerate ruler Couza that
brought about his compulsory abdica-
ton. Every Roumanian smokes, and
Couza came up against a national
habit-with the usual result. 1t was
in 1866 that the present ruler. Prince
Charles of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
was invited. in the teeth of the con-
cert Of Europe and the sultan, to be-
come Couza's successor, and nothing
finer ever happened to Roumania-ex-
cept its queen, Carmen Sylvia" But
the good fortune of Roumania is also
due to Bismarck. who counseled the
young prince to accept the offered
throne, remarking: 'If you fail you
will at any rate have pleasant remi-
niscence for the rest of your life"

MADE YOUTH A SAILOR
GREAT MAN REMEMBERED HIS
PROMISE TO BOY.
Had "Fousht for Jackson" and the
President Redeemed Partial Prom
lse That He Had Made Some
Years Before.

The subject of Mr. Stephen Bonsal's
stirring biography. Edward Fitzger-
aid Beale," was the son of Paymaster
George Beale, who served with distinc-
tion under Macdonough at Lake Cham
plain, and of Emily, the daughter of
Commodore Truxtun of the famous
Constellation. Young Beale, as q
member of two naval families, there
fore, had what was regarded in the
old navy as prescriptive right to en-
ter the service
With the advent of President Jack
son, all such rights were brushed
| aside, and the claims of young Beale
might have been overlooked except
for a fortunate and characteristic in
cident.
The boys of Washington. where the
Beales spent their winters, were ar
dent politicians, like their fathers and
they were divided by allegiance to
antagonistic statesmen. The disputes
between the Adams partisans and the
Jacksonians grew SO bitter than the
boys decided to settle all their politi-
cal differences once for all by the an
cient test of battle.
Ned Beale was the Jacksonian
champion, and the Adamsites were
represented by a boy named Evans,
who afterward became a distinguished
citizen of Indiana The fistic battle
was appointed to take place under a
long arch, which at that time marked
the southern entrance to the White
House grounds.
While the battle ragged and the en-
thusiastic spectators applauded, a tall
figure suddenly appeared, scattered
the boys, and seizing Beale by the col
lar asked him why he was fighting.
He replied that he was fighting for
General Jackson, and that his oppo-
nent had expressed a poor opinion of
the presidents politics and person
atty
Il am General Jackson" said the
man. 81 never forget the men or boys
who are willing to fight for me, but
do not wish them to do 1t all the time
Now put on your coats"
A few years later, when Beale
reached his fourteenth year, his desire
to enter the navy became overwhelm-
ing. One afternoon he called at the
White House with his mother to see
General Jackson and ask for mid
shipman's warrant
Mrs. Beale told her story, and spoke
of the fact that her boy was the son
and grandson of men who had served
their country and been wounded in
battle. Jackson listened with cour-
tesy, but seemed uncertain how he
should act Suddenly the boy inter
rupted his mother
Mother. he said, "1et me speak to
General Jackson"
He then reminded the president Of
the fight and the promise he had
made, at least by implication, to serve
him whenever the opportunity pre-
sented
Without a word General jackson
tore off the back of letter lying near
him, and wrote to the secretary of the
navy, Give this boy an immediate
warrant" and handed it to Mrs Beale.

the money should be reserved for fhe

number of colored chauffeurs has led
Mr.. Washington to recommend

institution.
Correspondence Course.
Tho principal of the institution, he
saws should visit the principal cities
of the State, get among the colored
people and inform them just what the
school is doing in educating the col
ored youth of the State. Colored
pupils from other States should be
permitted to attend the institution
he recommends. so that the instlte-
ton would be placed IN competition
with similar schools in other states.
He also recommends the extension OF
the school activities to night school
work, which could be done by cor
respondence if colored people lV1nS
at a distance could not possibly at
tend the school in person.
Cooperation with the 100 colored
school teachers who are teaching in
separate schools is also urged by Mr..
Washington. These teachers, he says,
have great control over the future IF
colored children. If these teachers
could be interested in the schoorc
work large numbers of colored youths
would enter the school after COM
pleting a grammar school course.
