CLEANUP DAY OBSERVED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE

Austin, Tex. March 12.-March 10
was named as cleanup day" for
Texas by DR.. Ralph Steiner, State
Health Officer, and was observed as
such throughout the entire State.
Practically every town in the State
had large forces employed in clean
up work and according to reports re-
ceived here the results were crafty
ing. The plan used by the majority
of the cities in getting rid of the trash
and rubbish was to have the residents
place ii in the alley from where II was
hauled and burned by the trash men.
The principal cities of the State were
given a thorough cleaning and placed
In a sanitary condition, alleys were
given special attention in these places.
and at the end of the day were free
from all filth.

BRAINS COME HIGH.

The FL Paso Times has come out
with an estimate of State Press sal
airy, which it computes at SIS week.
The Times financial editor thinks SIS
a week is lots of money, but he is
generous enough to say by implication
that State Press is worth it. Editor
o. p Gresham of the Pythian Knight,
Temple, is alleged to have scattered
a report that State Press gets 1000
a year, and board. Neither of these
rumors is correct. State Press is paid
by the day, his remuneration being
based on fiat rateeof $65 per diem
and his dinner, but he isn't allowed
to eat until he has finished his work.
This is the highest newspaper salary
paid in Texas, Claude Callan of the
Fort Worth Star-Telesram coming
second. Claude gets $50 day and
banana.-Dallas Morning News.
The Times believes its estimate of
State Press salary was really some
what excessive, and the S65 per diem

CENSUS BUREAU GIVES
OUT TELEPHONE DATA

Dallas. Tex, March 10. - Director
w. j. Harris of the Bureau of Census
today gave out report showing de-
tailed statistics of the Bell Telephone
Company and other systems operating
in the United States. There are 20
2iS0O0 miles of telephone wire in use
in the entire Nation, compared with
100000 miles a decade ago. This is
an increase of 15,34S,00O miles, or 313
per cent. The total number of tele-
phones in use is S,730,000, while ten
years ago the number was 2,371 900.
During the year 1912 there were 49,
73565S,000 conversations held over
American telephones. The Bell Com
pany owns approximately So per cent
of the wire mileage of the United
States. There are approximately 800.
600 telephones in use in Texas.

and dinner claimed is a typographical
error The Dallas Morning News is
a business institution, conducted on
sound business principles, and is not
prone to pay any of its hirelings more
than they are actually worth. That
State Press is actually worth $65 per
annum to the paper is doubtless a
fact, for he fills daily some space that
1t might cost the News little more
money to otherwise fill. 1t is only

like Callan who can command $50 per
day and a banana.-El Paso Times.
Men of large and varied talents like
Claude Callan and State Press must
of necessity draw handsome stipends
as a recompense for their several
abilities. Now, take Claude Callan for
instance he is evidently given the
banana for that Cracks at the Crowd"
column he dishes out every day in the
All-Star Telegram, and the $50 for
that everlasting and eternal smile,
which is as fixed and immovable as

THE OLD MAN.

Be kind to your daddy, oh, gambol'
ing youth; his feet are now strugglish

you don't see the truth, which is that
your dads growing old. All. once he
could whip forty bushels of snakes,
but now he is spawned and lame: his
joints are all rusty and tortured with
aches, weary and worn is his frame.
He toiled and he shaved like a gov
eminent mule to see that his kids
had chance; he fed them and clothed
them and sent them to school, re-
joiced when he marked their advance.
The landscape is moist with the bill
lows of sweat he cheerfully. shed as
he toiled, to bring up his children and
keep them from debt. and see that the
home kettle boiled. He dressed in old
buds that Mary and Jake might bloom
like the roses in June, and often when
you swallowed your porterhouse steak
your daddy was chewing prune, And
now that he's worn by his burden of
care just show you are worth all he
did, just look out for his comfort and
hand him a chair and hang up his
slicker and lid.-Walt Mason.

so, that all wagons in driving up to

rection in which they are to go after

necessity of turning on the street with
loaded wagon, and save the paving
from severe tests. Let the turning be
done while the wagon is empty. OF
course, after the paving has thorough
ly dried out, it will make no differ

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
Ancient List Gives Way to Modern
Series, Marked by Utility.

The ancient "seven wonders of the
world" have about disappearsed. Only
one remains = the Pyramids. The
other six are quite forgotten-the
Hanging Temple of Semiramis at
Babylon, the Temple of Diana at
Ephesus. the statue of Jupiter at
Athens, the Mausoleum at Halicarnas-
sus, the Colossus at Rhodes. and the
Pharos of Alexandria. All these won
ders were B. c.
But we have an entirely new series
now. They were brought out by a
newspaper in Germany, which offered
prizes to eight persons who agreed
on the seven wonders of the twentieth
century. They named: Wireless
telegraphy, the Panama Canal, the
dirigible airship, the flying machine,
radium. the cinematograph and the
steamship Imperator. How different
these from the ancient seven wonders
of the world, says the Ohio State
Journal.
They don't seem to have a thing
in common. There are not a single
utility in the ancient seven wonders,
while in the modern everything is
utility. Tombs, temples. statues, etc,
the old wonders; but now
the seven wonders figure in the life
of the people. They are aids to civil
lization. They are expressions of in
ventive genius. Great change this
from antiquity.

order to bring about test of that
section of the State labor law which
prohibits an employer from requiring
