COTTON RECEIPTS.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan, S.-Goyernor
Ferguson has announced that he will
give no consideration to applications
for pardons unless passed upon by
the Board Of Pardon Advisers. He
insists that this rule viii be strictly
adhere to. This is a radical departure
from the custom which has always
obtained by other Texas Governors
In the past an applicant for a pardon
would in many instances see the ex.
ecutive first and obtain favorable con.
sideration before the board ever had
the applicant referred TO it. The new
Governor has also decided upon a spe.
cial day on which to devote to the
consideration of executive clemency.
He also turned a deaf ear on several
applicants who have come direct to
him to discuss applications for par
dons.

LET MEN BE FREE

Look to it that your communities, your great cities, do mt impose too arbitrary standards upon the men whom you wish to use. Do not re- duce men to standards. Let them be free. Do not compel them by conventions. Let them wear any clothes they please and look like anything they choose; let them do anything that q decent and an hon. est man may do without criticism; do not laugh at them because they do not look like you, or talk like you, or think like you. They are freer for that circumstance, because, as an English writer has said: "You maytalk of the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius, but the real tyranny Is the tyranny of your next door neigh Dor. There is no tyranny like the tyranny of being obliged to be like him, ,"-of being considered very singular person if you are not; Of having men shrug their shoulders and say, Singular young man sir, singular young man; very gifted, but not to be trusted" Not to be trusted because unlike their own trustworthy selves! You must take your leaders, in every time of diff culty, from among absolutely free men, who are not standardized and conventionalized, who are at liberty to do what they think right and say what they think true; that is the only kind of leadership you can af- ford to have-Woodrow Wilson Christian Science Monitor,

How to Make Screws Hold

make the screws fit firm. The same
should be done when the screws are
removed, at another season. such as
in Autumn, when screen doors are
taken down.
This will protect the wood, keep
out the moisture and keep it from
decaying, and the holes will be in
much better condition when the time
arrives for their use again. Many
times the hinges have to be removed
and replaced, and this little precau-
ton will save many worry and Oft
times expense and much loss of time
and patience. Screens so hung will
not sag or become crorl-ed as easily
as where tho screw holes are un-
painted.
