A new faddist, lady by the way, is

same direction, II they like the same
things Or on the other hand, If they
are disposed to buck each others
wills and wishes. II they 90 at cross
purposes. II they get on each others
nerves. For those who are able to
spend a hundred thousands on a
honeymoon the plan may be all right,
and really we think It advisable; but
for the great majority who are unable
to take any honeymoon at all, where
the bridegroom must be on the job
again the next morning a little after
sunrise. we would counsel that the old
and tlme.honored plan be adhered to-.

STOCK BEETs FOR HOGS.

Used as partial substitute for
pasture. for the purpose OF furnishing
succulent material, stock beets can
be used as a valuable part Of a ration
for growing and breedings hogs, ac-
cording to Prof. ]. c. Burns OF the
animal husbandry department OF the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
OF Texas. Care, however, should be
taken not to feed the beets in large
quantities. especially TO iattening
hogs. because It would mean replacing
foodstbffs in the ration that would
have more value for fattening pur-
poses than the stock beets.
The seeds should be planted in rows
from two and one-half to three feet
apart and from three.fourths to one
inch deep, six to eight pounds Of seeds
being ample for seeding one acre,
Planting should commence about
April /. when the land is warm. Thin
ming should begin when the plants
have produced four well developed
leaves. leaving the plants, eight to
ten inches apart in the row.

cotton seed. leaving you the feed clear

and meal $4,000 per ton. How much is

time they strike at us they help the
cause along. Suppose our plant we're

The large furniture sales room on the

more ideal place for a concert Of that
kind could not be found.
The program rendered was largely
classic and the entertainment Nigh.

in the whole world were heard. incluG-
ing Caruso, John Mccormack, Evan

FEReusoNs LAND RENT LAW.

The more the people OF Texas know
about the Ferguson third and fourth
land rent law, and the more they think
about II. the more thoroughly con
WINGED they become that II is a piece
OF political claptrap, without any real
merit and a serious dig az the rights
of the people Of this State. Just an
other appeal to prejudice as a means
TO building up a political machine.
regardless of right, justice or the
guarantees Of the Federal constitution
to the citizens OF the Nation. In our
opinion the measure will vaporlze into
thin emptiness" at the first acid test
of the higher courts. The following
comments on the Ferguson paramount
plank-now a LAWS from the Gal
weston News:
Representative Wagstaff believes
that the land tenant bill, now a law,
will have the effect Of preventing the
renting OF farm land for a cash rental.
The argument he makes to support
this view is plausible, to say the least
OF II. II provides, he points out, that
a landlord may not charge more than
the value OF one-third of the grain
or the value OF one-fourth OF the cot
ton" Now, who can foretell what will
be the value" OF the cotton and corn
crops grown on any farm? One must
be a seer beyond the proficiency OF
any the world has heard to do so.
The value OF cotton fuctuates. nor is
corn innocent of that baneful habit
and since rental cotracts must be
made in advance OF the gathering Of
the crops, even in advance Of thei1
planting. would not a landlord Incur
some risk in renting for a fixed cash
consideration? The amount stipulat
ed might. by reason OF an oyersupply
Of cotton or corn. be more than the
value Of one-fourth and one-third oil
the crops grown, in which case the
landlord would seem to be exposed tC
the danger Of being sued. not merely
for amount OF the rent, but for twice
its amount.
1T is doubtful II even Governor Fer
guson meant to achieve any such enc
as this. and It is pretty certain that
the Legislature did not foresee the
chance Of such an outcome. II the
prospect is not a disquieting one, II Is
due to the fact that the law, in It's
entirety, will prove to be altogether
innocuous as measure OF practical
effect. The virtue OF the law. in other
words, is in its fault II is at once
the virtue and fault Of being impotent
It's mission is to accomplish the i'm
possible. and II is harmless by reason
OF the character Of its undertaking
But even this charitable criticism fiat
tiers It; for, is no harm done in arous
ing hopes that cannot be realized
Mr.. Wagstaff points out what are ap
parently other fatal defects in thi,
act; but even II these other defect.
are only apparent, and not real, the
whole measure is a bit of politicraf
which viii rise up to mock and sham,

What Is the Best Way7

We may not be able to tell what

Through this committee you can get
the facts and relieve the case quicker
than a beggar can go around the
streets. SO it's quicker Your com
mittee centers all the alms-giving peo-
pie on the case at once, so it's more
adequate. You can give with better
motive, for you give discriminatory

would exempt a provision requiring
ginners to take three samples Of all

in the act. The ginners now are en-

and measure to that end has been
introduced with little prospect it is
said, of passage.
