PLANT LEGUME CROPS ON
EVERY POSSIBLE
ACRE.

This is a year when every acre
possible should be planted to a
soil-building- crop of some kind.
Feeds are high-priced and so are
fertilizers, and the man who grows
these instead Of buying them will
be laying the firmest kind of foun-
dation for future prosperity.
One Of the marks ofthe success
full farmer is the ability to produce
to the maximum possible extent
the crops that feed the land; the
mark of the mortgage-covered farm
is generally a ruinous adherence to
one-crop system that forgets that
fat soils, fat stock and an ample
living for the family should be the
primary considerations.
Let's see where we can use the
soil-building crops to advantage:
First, there come the oat and wheat
fields, where the crops will be har-
vested in May and June. The
man who fails to have crop of
peas, beans or clover after his crops
of small grain is simply neglecting
the biggest source of profit, for the
feed and soil fertility that come
from such crops often mean more
per acre than the grain crop.
Then not single acre of corn
should be laid by without having
peas sown in the middles, or in the
southern part of the Cotton Belt
velvet beans may be planted about
the time the corn is planted, OR
Just after. A corn field without
peas, beans or peanuts for soil
building and fall and winter feed
is seldom returning more than one
half the net profit. that ID should.
Then this fall, from seed saved
during the next two months, every
cotton middle should be seeded to
clover or vetch.
Plant the legumes everywhere
this year. If you have the seed,
$50 much the better; but if neces-
|sary, buy them, for you will find
few investments more profitable.
Then next fall, whether cotton be
low or high in price, you will be
largely independent, because you
will have materially cut your ferti-
lizer bill for the following year.

CHEAP MONEY.
Secretary

Cheap money is the fount that
makes the brook of industry flow
and without it the homeless farmer
can hardly hope for home or the
manufacturing industry expect to
prosper. The farmers of the Uni
ted States owe $5,OOO,OOO,000 and
cheap money will mean millions of
dollars in saving to the farmer:

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.

The split log drag has contribu-
ted more toward the economic
maintenance of public highways
than any implement of modern
usage. Itdoes not require special
acts Of the Legislature, bond issues
nor expensive educational cam
paigns to make it available as usus'
ally precedes construction work.
A drag can berbuilt or purchased
for twenty dollars and is easily
operated by any one who can drive
a team. We need more drags in
this state.

CAMPAIGN
ALONG BUSINESS LINES

New York is on the job with a
new temperance campaign, which
some newspapers are pronouncing
eminently sensible. 1t is the out
growth of a plan originated by the
Churches of Christ of America. No
Religions method will be used in
the campaign. No effort will be
made to secare legislation prohibit
ing the sale OF liquor. The sponsors
of the movement believe that volun-
tary abstinence is the only means by
which intempsrance may be abol-
ished. and their purpose will be to
demonstrate to the individual the
loss in efficiency due to excessive
drinking.
A committee of 100 prominent fl
nancial, industrial and labor union
men will conduct the campaign. AL

UNIQUE COUNTY FAIR
EACH YEAR IN CHINA
Founded On Superstition But
Has Become a Regular
Institution.

Miss Rose Alice Mace gives a most
interesting account of THE Mintsing
Fair" held recently in Mintsingh-
sien, China:
This fair has the distinction of
being the only one of its kind held
in China. IL is held on the spot
where a temple once stood. A veal
thy old gentleman who admired the
spot and coveted it as a burial place
for his family, by clever ruse got
the temple moved, and tombs for his
ancestors safely erected when the
deception he had employed was dis
covered, and the people determined
upon revenge.
There is. a superstition prevalent
there that IL the grave of a person
be trodden upon, that persons fami-
ly will be unfortunate through life.
Therefore it was decided each year
the people of the surrounding neigh
borhood should meet and tramp on
the graves of this mans friends. La
ter they began taking a few articles
with them to exchange or sell. This
gradually increased until now thous-
ands of people meet there and bring
all kinds of things for sale.
1.-The people seem to have about
forgotten the original purpose of the
gathering, and now think of it only
from a social and business stand
point. But the interesting thing to
us is that the missionaries have ia
ken advantage of the opportunity of
so large a gathering for spreading
the gospel Benches with awnings
are erected nearby, and large Chi
ness sign placed in a conspicuous
place extends a cordial invitation
to the people to come and listen to
preaching and singing.
Large Sunday School lesson pic
lures are exhibited and smaller ones
distributed containing the Scripture
texts in Chinese, and so interest is
maintained. The people in gener-
al" says Miss Mace, seemed pleased
to have an opportunity of learning
something of our belief and doc
trine. Many seemed favorably inn
pressed, and several seemed really
interested and anxious to learn more
about the great tduths presented to
them"

WHEN TEXAS BRANDED
HER CONVICTED THIEVES

Adam was the first nan-the
very first-to be indicted by grand
jury in Houston. His name, to be
more specific, was James Adam. The
charge was that he stole; the indict-
ment larceny. He was convicted
This was the sentence: To return
to the rightful owner the sum OF
1895; to be given thirty-nine lashes
on the bare back in a public place
and to be branded with the letter
ST" on the back of the right hand.
This all happened in Houston in
the spring of 1887. The first book
of records was dug from a dusty
shelf one afternoon recently in the
Harris county court house. o. M. Du
Clos, Clerk of the District Court,
and he who is known as the Investi-
gator Into the Affairs of Others. did
the digging.
The first book of the records of
the legal doings of Harris county is
yellow and old thing. The first
matter written in il is a statement
signed by Sam Houston giving au-
thority for the court. II announces
that he has appointed Benjamin
Franklin Judge OF the court. The
place is given as ''the town of Hous-
ton, county of Harrisburg. Republic
OF Texas. - Houston Chronicle.

SAYS JAMES GANG KILLED
CATTLE BUYER AND SON

Fresno, Cal, July 12.-The Missouri
cattleman and his son who were muir
dered at Siam, Ia, in 1868, were slain
by a gang of which Frank and Jesse
James were the leaders, according to
G.. p. Huntsman, a Fresno real estate
man, nephew Of Bates Huntsman. now
under arrest at Bedford, Ia. Hunts
man said today he would leave for Bed
ford Immediately to assist in the de-
Tense of hts uncle.
Huntsman's father, DR.. c. r. Hunts
man, and Bates Huntsman, did bury
the bodies and the $50, 900 belonging to
the cattleman, but did so at the orders
OF the James boys, say the Fresno
man.
Although not born when the muir
der occurred, he says the story was
told him both by his father and his
uncle and has been known in the fam
lily for years. His story in brief Is:
"On the night the two were killed,
DR.. Huntsman, who had been visiting
at his bother's home, was summoned
to attend Mrs. Floyd Collins. who was
i'll in the cabin OF J~ohanathan Dark
Bates Huntsman accompanied the
physician. Just before reaching the
cabin, they stumbled on the James
boys n their gang just after h muir
der had been committed.
The two men were backed up against
a tree and then Bates Huntsman was
forced, under threat of death, to bury
the two bodies while DR.. Huntsman
buried the gold.
Although members Of the family
sought to have DR.. Huntsman reveal
the hiding place, he died without CIV
ing it's location, although in his later
years he was sorelyPtouched by pow
erty.

case as follows:
Statement of c. P. Huntsman, Of
Fresno, Cal, tends to establish that
there was a murder in 1868 at Siam, as
claimed by Mrs. Porter.
There was continuous digging on the
Siam, Ia. farm for treasure buried
by some one.
When Dr., Galloway, an alleged mem
Der of the gang, died, $4,000 was
found in his shack.
