TRIBUTE TO THE COW.

/ Professor l.. D. Graham. as
sistant chief of the Live Stock
Department of the Panama Ex-
position. pays this tribute to the
dairy COW:
Most potent Of all single in
duences in the building Of this,
the mightiest nation in history. IS
the COW. Her sons drew the
plows which first cultivated the
land of the new world. hauled to
market the products of the field,
and with slow energy moved the
chattels and household goods be
you'd the mountains to new homes
IN the farther west
They supplied the beef which
is the food of the Anglo-SaXon,
a race that was never conquered
since history began. They fun
;shed the shoes Of the pioneers
who trod the unknown wilds and
made Of them the farmsteads AMI
cities Of our present enlighten-
uent. They gave the clothes
and robes to protect the pioneer
aaainst the destroying blasts OF
winter and made commerce pos
slole before the railroad was.
They covered the chair upon
which he slept, and glued togeth-
er the furniture he used
The old COW is mother of the
whole bovine and foster mother
of half the human race. From
the roadside weed she manufac-
lures the most noul ishing Of hp-
man foods. She is the ready aid
of the farmer, the pet of the rich
man and the ever-present help OF
the poor. She is the economist
of the people and the conserva-
tor Of their resources. She par
takes Of the grass Of the field
and leaves the farmer the richer
for her presence.
As she helped to develop the
farm from the wilderness and as
she ate of its first fruits. so she
will renew the life Of the soil and
make a still greater agriculture
possible.
In all our history the cow has
been mans closest friend al
benefactor. Upon her products
are built the great business IN
terests which center in the stock
yards, the creameries, the shoe
factories. the harness shops and
the mills.
Take away the COW and our
banks would close, our grave
yards yawn and the wheels OF
commerce would cease to turn.
Foster and care for her and busi-'
ness fourishes, the fertility OF the
soil is conserved and she becomes
the custodian of the nation s pros
perity. 8isi

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN
THE COUNTRY.

The greatest enemies to good
roads in the country districts are
food water. narrow tires and
heavy traffic too soon after rains.
If the drainage of a road is not
good to start with, then almost
all effort to improve trayel along
a road or to keep it in good re-
pair is nullified almost with ev-
cry rain. Therefore, before
planning expenditures for the
upkeep of highway, it is well
to first look into the drainage
problem. A few dollars spent in
this direction at first will saw"
many dollars later on.
Where the natural drainage IS
across the road, permanent cn'-
verts should be installed of ample
capacity to take care OF what
ever water the heaviest rain may
bring. These cUlyerts should be
laid well under ground and be
installed as permanent fixtures.
Especially in billy districts, these
should be placed so that the
crown Of the road will never fall
less than one foot above the sur
face of the water in the bitches.
Some engineers advocate the
high crown for country roads,
but any one who has driven an
automobile or wagon will remem-
Der how difficult it is to keep the
wheels from sliding towards the
ditch-and every time they slide
thev carry with them some OF the
road surface, which later will
have to be painstakingly scraped
back into place again. The only
argument for the high crown
which seems to lie of any account
is quick drainage, bat, unless the
community is prepared to spend
a considerable amount OF money
in constant repair such a road
will very quickly be in worse con-
dition than a similar road where
the drainage is possibly not so
goo but which requires less con-
slant care.
While a road which is too mar
row may be said to be a constant
menace to safety in travel, at the
same time, road which is wider
than necessity demands, is .
continual source Of expense.
The best practice for the coun-
try roads indicates road that IS
not more than thirty feet and not
less than twenty-four beet be
tween bitches. Such a road is
easy to maintain and wide
enough for any ordinary traffic.
In keeping a road in repair, the
work of dragging is most import
ant and to do this right requires
thorough organization with men
and team sassigned to different
districts. Sixteen miles TO
man and team seems to be the
best division Of labor; two rounds
on a four mile trip or one round
on an eight mile trip. The con-
dition of the road Itself will IN.
dicate which il best at the time.
The dragging of a road should
begin as soon as possible after
each rain, with the blades OF the
drag tilted forward, so the drag
VIII act as float, filling up the
hcles and ruts and causing the
storm water to run to the side
bitches. Another dragging should
be given the road when the soil

THE WORLDS RECORD.

/ The worlds record has agalr
been broken by a Tyler CONNER
cial College student, Mr.. J. }. Aye
of Bowie. La. entered the lyle.
Commercial College for a course
of shorthand on Aug. II, 1914
and twenty-three days after en-
tering, won the worlds record by
writing $50 words per minute, un-
familiar matter. for five consecn.
tive minutes, making a grade OF
100 per cent. on his transcript.
Why attend any other school
when you can enter the lylef
Commercial College, complete
your course and 90 in a good po-
sition in half the time required
by any school teaching any other
systems besides the Byrne S1mp-l /
fed Shorthand and PRACTICAL
Bookkeeping. The Tyler Com
mercial College owns the copy
rights Oh these famous systems.
Here is the time requi, ed by a
few of the students who cemplet-
ed these courses: Mr.. J. {.
Dunagan Of DOME. Texas. finished
shorthand in one month and TWEEN
ty-two days: Mr.. j. S. Drew OF
Monroe. La. one month and TWEEN
ty-eight days; Mr.. DIN Roberts
of Terrell. Texas. one month and
twenty-six days; Miss Alice Wal
lace of Winona. Texas. in two
months and we and a half days !:
Mr.. J. J. Ago of Bowie, La. In
twenty-three days; Mr.. W. w.
Beeson of Malvern. Ark. finished
bookkeeping in two months and
eight days; Mr.. Asa Boles OF
Garrison. Texas. two months and
six days; Mr.. E. M. Cain Of Fair
field, Texas. one month and eigh,
teen and a half days; Mr.. B.
Sherrod of Rails, Texas, finished
the combined course OF bookkeep'
ing and shorthand in three months
and fifteen days Miss Maidee
Thompson of Goldwaite, Texas,
In two months and thirteen days.
This shows how quickly these
young people prepared themselves
for good salaried position by
attending the Tyler Commercial
College where they could get add
vantage of the famous Byrne
Systems. We easily save from
three to five months time on a
course of bookkeeping and short
hand. Conceding that we only
save the average student three
months time, his salary after
completing should be at least $50
per month for the three months.
This would make a saving Of $l5O
in time and his board at $12 per
month. would be $3.50, making d
total saving of 1886 to say moth
ing of the fact that a student OF
our school gets three months ex-
perience while the student Of the
other schools is just finishing his
course and has no experience.
Our work is the most thorou gh to
be found in any school in the U.
S. as is shown by our students
holding the very best positions to
be found in the various lines of
business throughout this and 9TH
er countries. You may enter
with us at any time. Our work
is practically all individual in

KRAFT TO ARGUE
FOR HIS RIGHTS
Refuses to Play in the South.
Threatens to Quit Organ

Clarence Kraft, the Newark clubs

of the Southern Association is anX-
.lous to obtain, will appear before the
National Commission today at New
Y ork to protest against any transac-

from the Newark club.

dent Charles H. Ebbets, sr.. of the

yesterday, at which he declared he
would quit organized baseball rather
than play in the South again.. Kraft's
home is in Flint, Mich. and he has
spent two years under the hot Dixie
sun.
The point which Kraft emphasized
as his defense in his fight on the
matter is that the Southern Associa-
ton has a $500 a month salary limit,
and to pay his present high salary
this limit would have to be broken
or a side agreement between player
and cluo-owner agreed on. all of
which would be illegal. When the
Players Fraternity met with the
National Commission, the powers
that be in organized baseball assert
that they reserved the right to elm

Leagues on four or five players, and
Kraft, who had been purchased late
last season by Nashville from New
Orleans, was one of them.
Kraft says he does not want tc
quit the Tigers, but if the commission
insists on him going through will

Al Beich won a great fight at the
Stadium A. G, in New York last
night He knocked out Sailor FRITZ
IA the tenth round after one of the
greatest heavyweight battles ever
seen in Gotham The men fought all
the way. but FRITZ was the aggresor,
and would have earned the decision
ii he had not been knocked out. For
eight rounds the Sailor, by his ag
gressiveness. had the lead on Reich.
In the ninth round, however, the tide
turned. Reich popped FRITZ in the
mouth with a hard, straight left, and
he followed it mp with lefts and
rights. Reich took a count of nine in
this round but he got up and finished
the session fairly strong. In the tenth
round Reich caught FRITZ with a left
hook, and followed it up with a right
cross to the jaw In a clinch Reich
beat FRITZ To the floor, and the
Sailor had to be carried to his cor
ner. 1t was truly wonderful battle,
and Reich showed big Improvement
He lacks fighting spirit, but he is
clever and can hit hard. FRITZ was
badly beaten in the face, and his
right eye was closed. He took some
terrific swings on the jaw and stood
up well under them. Reich proved to
be the gamer fellow, most of us
thought, but he lacks aggressivenessl
and a fighting spirit.

The next big race in Paris is thu
championship of France. Leon Hour
lier is a strong favorite and should
be a rather easy winner. Just at
present Hourlier is in wonderful form
and riding faster than any Splinter in
Europe Pouchois is the next best
man. with young Sargent the third
choice. All of the French stars will
compete for the title, including Friol.
Dupre. Merguer. Perchicot and
Poulaiu. Perchicot is the rider who
may upset the calculations, as he has
not met Hourlier for some time and
his exact form is not known.
The championship will be run IN
eight heats, with the winners TO
qualify for three semi-hnals. There
will be an addition heat for the riders
who finish second in each heat and
the winner of this heat will also go
in the semi finals. These second men
will be required to pay an additional
entrace fee of ten francs to start.

greatest road race, will start shortly
and all of the big manufacturers
have big teams entered in the race,
which is worth $1,000 to the winner.

races until the Tour is started, for
