BARN RAISING WILL
 MAKE BIG EVENT. E. J. Hampstead Building He"
 Structure at Quaker Hill.

Ezra J. Hampstead of Quaker Hlll has about 100 feet of the foundation for his new barn laid and is making plans for a barn warming which will be the event of the winter if promises come true. The barn that stood on the site of the present building opera tions was struck by lightning and burned on Sept. 8, 1913. The corner = stone was laid on the anniversary Of the disastrous fire.
 James Duygan built the barn which burned on the 43d anniversary of its raising. Incidentally, the raising of Duygan's barn was an epoch from which events were dated for many years at Quaker Hill quite as much as the big wind in Ireland. The barn was the biggest in the neighborhood and the social amenities incidental to the elevation of the structure are still tallsd about by older residents. The new barn is to be 112 feet in length and will be constructed and equipped along modern lines.

TERRY COUNTY, TEX.
 MAD ALL THROUGH
Somebody Starts Yarn That There Is Not a United States Flag
 Within It's Borders

Terry county, through which no rail- read or telegraph wires pass, is all wrought up, says a Brownsville, Tex. special to the New York Herald Some correspondent sent broadcast story re- gently that there was q United States fiac in Terry county, and the citizens take this as an intimation that they are unpatriotic, unprogressive and not abreast of the times.
 Why, the railroad now is only 30 miles from Brownfeld! Five years ago it was 100 miles away, and if that doesn't show progress. what does? Five years ago one had to travel several days overland to Plainview. but now just little hike to Tahoka, 30 miles to the west, is all that Is necessary.

Oldest Newspaper on Exhibition

What is probably the first English newspaper ever published is now on exhibition al the British museum It is the first of a series of "corantos," as these budgets of news were called extending from December 3, 1920, to the close of the following year which re- gently came into the possession of the museum. and which upsets the theory that English journalism begin with the news sheet printed in Cornhll by one Thomas Archer in May. 1922. The Brit ish museum ''corantos," 1t is true. were printed and published in Amsterdam but the language was English and the periodical evidently was circulated in England
 The first number contains news of the battle of Wcissenburg. at which the King of Bohemia, James son-in-law, was defnatcd. Some of the later "coran- tos" in this series were reprinted in England and then similar journals. written as well as published in this country, began to appear. No specimen of the earliest newspaper printed by Thomas Archer of Pope's Head alley. Cornhill has yet been discovered, but 1t is known from a contemporary writer that in September. 1921, he was

CAMP PAIGN AGAINST
 EXCESS IN RUSSIA Fight Against Intemper- ance Will Be Pushed
 With Vigor 1.

St Petersburg March S.-The cd ucational campaign against intempernnce has started with vim in Russia At the instance of the Minister of the Ways end communications large railway car ,ias been fitted out with exhibits showing, the results of excessive indulgence in al- cohol It will be taken all over the raip ways of northern Russia by a lecturer and several attendants The car will b. sidetracked at the principal stations and lectures on the evils of drink will be given to the railway employees The lectures will be illustrated by magic lantern slides. ;
 It is increasingly apparent that the recent changes in the cabinet were due solely to the desire of Emperor Nicholas to strengthen his campaign against sI- coholism. He is detirmined to do away with the national vice" and he has in- structed his new ministers to attack the drink evil vigorously.
 It is understood that the new admin. istration proposes to reduce the product- ion of vodka, the national drink; to in- crease the penalties on illict trading: and cases of crime. Excise officials are to oe held to stricter accountability for what goes on in their districts.
 How the government proposes to meet the loss of revenue on vodka is not known Receipts from taxes on liquors last year were S101, ,5400O0 against total receipts of S6, 11S, 0O0 from all sources
 The government intends also to take measures to render financial aid to small farmers and rural industries. The form of this relief has not yet been decided. but it is probable that it will include Q system of cooperative country banks, based on the system In operation in Ger many and other continental countries.

 'Anothr. noticeable thing about girls today Is that they do not care whether they marry or not, and their moth CTS do not seem to mind either.
