TO PLANT 400 ACRES
OF RANCH IN COTTON

Alpine. Texas. Feb. 12-Robert Wade
is planning to put 400 acres Of his ranch
south of Alpine, under cultivation this lis
year. He will put a large portlon OF
this acreage in cotton, and erect a gln
to handle it. He will also put in truck
gardens, the produce of which viii be
marketed at the mines at Terhngua
and at Alpine. The soil of the river
country is said to be very rich, ana as as
frosts are almost unknown it is well
suited to truck daisiHg. The only
difficulty is the distance from rall-
road transportation, Alpine being the
nearest shining point.

gress of Atlanta.
He will tell the mothers how TO
train their boys and ;,irls and how to
guard against the mistakes of the
past. DR.. Cope is an apostle of sex
education and eugenics
since the church reaches only a
very small portion of the people,
said DIR. Cope. land the home is not
ready to teach the boys and girls
what they ought to know, I think that
the school is the proper place
In Chicago" he continued, per
sonal purity is taught in the public
schools and the feasibility of its
teaching has been strongly demon
strated."
While he advocates sex education,
he says that no amount of such
teaching will prevent a boy or girl
from going wrong. The principal ap-
peal must be, he said, to the emotions
of the boy and girl.
In ms speech TO the mothers the
sociologist will advocate more rea-
sonable amusements in the church
and home. Every school and church
should have A gymnasium. swimming
pool, he thinks, and playground.
In other words he holds that the
church must have more sports"
DR.. Cope is a strong believer in
eugenics. He says, however, that the
Wisconsin law is a mistake because
IL beats around the bush until 1t
makes getting married too expensive.

FAULT NOT WITH THE PUBLIC
Claim Of Bankrupt Baker That Public
Has Lost lite Taste for Pie
10 Refuted.

A New York pie manufacturer de-
clares himself bankrupt and informs
the court that his financial embasrass-
ment is due to a decline in the de-
mand for Pc. His liability to balance
his liabilities witIf1.l assets Is the
pic maker's own aAaf%s Bankruptcy is
not uncommon enough to be interest
ing But when the piemaker assures
us that the public has lost its taste for
pie, that pie is no longer In favor, and
gives this as an excuse for his fail
ure, we encounter something that is
not common.
Pie, we had believed, vas set upon
a foundation as firm as the rock Of
Gibraltar.
Pie is an American institution. II
Is the one pastry that makes the
whole country kin. Rich and POOR,
urban and rural East and West know
1t, revere it, devour 1t. It graces nan
sion and hoyel. banquet table and
lunch counter; II Is the dessert Of
millions; In the course of its long and
honorable career it has been the
friend of the hungry and the main
stay of tho hurried. 1t has follow ed
the fieg, advanced with advancing
frontiers, served in peace and in war,
fed soldier and preacher. and oiled the
wheels of commerce by wasting It's
precious flavor upon the urapprecia-
tive palates of travelling statesmen. 1t
