this community is good at present,
with the exception of few who have
bad colds.
Christmas was spent very pleasant

seemed to be enjoyed by everyone
present everything was as usual quiet
and pleasant with not a single case
of disturbance.
Tomorrow is New Year." when we
are all glad to see come so we can
get to turn over a new leaf, although
we are somewhat superstittious about
it being the number thirteen, but Te
do hope that everything will move
along as smoothly for the next year
as it has in the past year.
AS We raised very good crop Of
cotton this year some of them still
have a small amount of picking to do
yet. While some have been turning
their land for the next year.
There has been quite a bit of mov-
ing the last week. We hear that Rev.
Ray, who has resided at Enville, will
move into this community soon.
School was dismissed for a week
for the holidays and took up again
yesterday with a good attendance.
Steve Lacy, who has been working

FEEL BULLY, TAKE
CASCARtTS TONIGHT
A 1O-CENT BOX WILL KEEP YOUR
LIVER, STOMACH AND BOWELS
CLEAN, PURE AND FRESH FOR
MONTHS.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizz''
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath-always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stom,
ach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the i'll
testines, instead of being cast out oi
the system Is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing. sick
ening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga'
tive waters force a passageway for a
day or two-yes-but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect
upon the liver and stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach. remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out Of the
system all the constipated waste
matter and poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head

months.

EPT|NG FAILS
TO DELAY CASE
ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE IN BOYCE
KILLING WILL BE ARRAlGNED
MONDAY.

Memphis, Tex, Jan Beach B.Ep.
ing, alleged accomplice of John Beal
Sneed in the killing of Al G. Boyce, Jr
at Amarillo, Sept. IA, will probably
go to trial here Monday. His motion
to continue the case until after the
trial of Sneed, filed here in the dis
trict court, has been denied.
The motion was filed by Judge
Fires of Childress, an attorney for
Epting. The opposing argument was
made by Senator d. w. Odell of Gle
burne, counsel for the Boyces at the
last Sneed trial.
The ground for Judge Fires mo-
tion was that if Sneed should be de-
clared not guilty of killing Boyce,
Epting could not be convicted. SEN
ator Odell argued that when Epting 3
attorneys secured a change of venue
they knew that his trial would be
held first. He declared they also had
waived their rights to severance.
Epting's attorneys will probably
make further attempts to continue
his trial.
The defense in Epting's trial next
week will be practically the same as
in the late Sneed trial. Walter Scott
of the firm of Mclean, Scott, Mclean
& Bradley of Fort Worth will assist
III defending him.

" HELPS
MODEL HOUSES; SMALL COST
Idea Evolved In New York That
Seems to Have Tremendous
Possibilities.

Homes that workingmen can pur'
chase at total cost of SO cents day
are about to be built in Queens. says
the New York Sun. Plans for $50 such
buildings have been prepared and for
them there are already 600 applicants,
The idea is that of DR.. Joseph Cacca'
vajo, a civil engineer and authority on
housing problems, who has the coop
Grafton of several Of the large indus
trial concerns recently located In
Long Island City. The scheme is not
a philanthropic one, but has for its
object the making of profits while sup
plyingwordngmen with livable homes
at low cost
Doctor Caccavajo, discussing the
scheme, said that he proposes to con
struct twostory brick, stone or hollow
tile houses Of the type familiarly
known as Philadelphia houses. con
tanning six rooms and bath. which the
wage Garner can purchase on the, same
basis as though he we're paying rent
These houses will be far superior to
the best types of England, Belgium
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1913-11-27

and Germany, where 80 much thought
has been given to the proper housing
of the workingmen. Cottages will
range in price to meet the incomes Of
purchasers and it will be possible for
workingmen to buy homes for price
as low as 60 cents day, which with
taxes, water and fire insurance, will
bring the total cost up to S3 cents.
The only conditions to be exacted
are that those purchasing the houses
shall be of good moral character; that
they have been steadily employed for
a period of not less than five years;
that their present employers recon-
mend them as men or women who can
be depended upon to meet their obli-
cations; that there shall be at least
one, and preferably more children to
each family and that the general
health of the members of the family
shall be good.
The first group OF buildings will be
built in Long Island City, where the
growth of Industrial plants has Gre
ated demand for homes for workers.
That group will contain about $50
houses. They will be one family
houses with at least three bedrooms, e
living room, kitchen and bath. The
cheaper houses will be built in rows
and the more expensive will be OF the
semi.detached type, with gardens on
three sides.

BEAUTY OF SMALL PARKS
Well for Growing Cities to Make Pro-
vision for This Necessity Of the
Future.

In cities the range Of vision seldom
ascends beyond the first story Of the
buildings aligning our streets. 1t Is
therefore evident that many people, II
confined night and day to commercial
centers, would not see even the little
smack of nature afforded by study OF
or casual look at the sky. We must
then, create natural scenery in the
city or at least reproduce nature as
far as lies in our power when circum'
scribed by the demands Of traffic and
influences. must be forced upon other
wise purely artificial city scenes This
is possible only through small neigh.
borhood parks, street trees and
planted parkings, no matter how mar
row and ribbon-like the latter may
be.

passed out of existence. The turkey rattle with
dice is still custom in some parts of the coun-
try. Usually the turkey is tough bird which
was purchased cheap by the proprietor OF the
saloon (for the rattle usually takes place there).
The rattle of course, draws crowd OF men, who
incidentally patronize the bar during the pro-
ceedings Another sportive feature Of Thanks
giving no longer in vogue the shooting
match where live turkeys tied to sticks were
used. This cruel practice was abandoned be-
cause the New England clergy objected, not on
account of its cruelty, but because 1t kept the
men away from the church service. This reason
seems to fit in with the idea of the men back in
the seventeenth century who while they were
eating Thanksgiving dinner Of venison discov-
cred that the deer had been killed on Sunday.
They at once sent for the Indian and had him
publicly whipped, and also compelled him to
return the money which he had been paid for
the deer. This being done, they at once re-
sumed their dinner and finished up the venison.
New York city is responsible for the strangest
OF all Thanksgiving customs, and one which has
only recently died out. Young men and boys
used to dress themselves In fantastic garb and
parade the streets-hundreds OF the boys wear
ing their sisters old clothes, their faces smeared
with paint and their heads covered with wigs.
AS late as 1885 they held parades and made the
street hideous with their humping drums and
blaring trumpets In 1870 this queer perform
ance took on the dignity OF political parade and
prizes were distributed to the companies wearing
the most unique clothing. Senator William M.
Tweed, the famous political boss of that period,
was the donor of a prize of $500 in gold This
custom undoubtedly a survival Of Guy
Fawkes days, carried out on a later day in the
year; for some unknown reason It was practced
only in New York city
Thanksgiving has always been day OF char
ity and in the old DAYS II was considered bad
luck to turn even a tramp from the door, and
today our friendly inns amshouses and charit-
able institutions have their turkey dinners usual
ly gifts from charitable people Our prisons. too.
serve their inmates with hearty meal and have
some sort of service OF praise The customs Of
the great national holiday may have changed
somewhat, yet the spirit Of the first Thanksgiv-
ing, which was held at Plymouth in 1921, still
hovers about the national day Of prayer and
praise of the twentieth century--a spirit Of
thankfulness to God for his mercy and kindness
to the people Of our great American republic.

Municipal Art Not Crochet Work.

Raymond Unwin, the greatest oi
English architecttown planners
hasn't much time for formerly com
mon conception of civic art. He says:
80 long as art is regarded as 9
trimming, a species of crochet worh
to be stitched in everincreasing guam
titles to the garments of life, 1t is vair
to expect its true Importance to be rec
ognized. Civic art is too often under
stood to consist of filling our streets
with marble fountains, dotting oul
squares with groups of statuary, twin
ing our lampposts with wrigglinf
acanthus leaves or dolphin's tails, ant
our buildings with meaningless bunch
es Of fruit and flowers tied up with i'm

SWIPED LOOT FROM COUNTER
And Had 1t in His CapaCiOuS
Mouth

1t took the cunning of an Americas
negro to make rings all around the
most adroit thief in the way of con-
cealing loot, as was evidenced yester
day at the Kress store during the bus
lest hours. Among the crowd in the
store was negro man with mouth
which in size resembled the opening
of a storm sewer, and as he walked
among the display counters he was
seen to dexterously slip large-sized
china doll into the cavernous open
ing, and look unconcernedly about him.
But the attempted theft had been OBJ
served by a shopper and the doflical
cannibal quickly took the china toy
from his mouth, replaced it upon the
county and as hastily departed, per-
haps to swallow a cotton bale at the
first warehouse, or mule at some
livery stable.
