FlFTY.THREE FRIDAYS IN 1915.

From a perusal of our exchanges
and the almanac. We have learned this
week that there will be fifty-three
Fridays in this year. and that there
will be no full moon in February The
last time the moon missed getting full
in February was in 1866, and II will
no. miss again in 100000 years. The
moon will make up for its abstinence
in February by getting full twice in
January and March. Those who be-
lieve in signs and history repeating
itself may look for peace in Europe
this year, as 1866 was peace year
after the civil war.-Tahoka News.

ONE BOY WHO HAS MADE MONEY

The best possible evidence that Nc
Lehman County farmer boys can make
money by Joining the buy q pig
movement inaugurated by the Waco
Chamber Of Commerce is contained
in the fact that Vernon Quillian, q
young lad OF Ross, this county, began
investing In pigs in the fall Of 1913,
with the small sum Of s., and already
he has sold SIG worth Of hogs. The
boy won a prize Of $40 for the best
decorated vehicle in the corn and pig
club parade at the Cotton Palace In
1913 and with half Of this amount he
purchased a pig and started a little
swine business all his own.
II has required no special talent on
this boys part to succeed. He has
been economical. industrious and
wlde.awake. watching his chances at
buying pigs. as well as In selling the
grown hogs. He has attended to bust
ness while other boys have loitered,
and has made more clear money of
his hogs in the little more than a year
that he has been in that business than
many adult farmers have made from
their whole crop.
There are hundreds Of other boys
in the county who can do just as well
as Vernon Quillian has done II they
will try And the chance for trial
under favorable circumstances was
never so good as today, when the
business men Of the city are willing
to provide the pigs and give the boys
until fall to pay for them.-Waco
News.
What is true Of the boys OF McLen
nan County is true of the boys Of Bra
EOS County. and the men, too, for that
matter. Our farmers can raise hogs
for their own meat, and hogs to sell
II they only make the effort Making
the start is the great obstacle to be
overcome.

hciency.
Some Facts Of History.
The board OF regents Of the Uni
versity and the board Of directors Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege at Joint meetings have entered
into two definite agreements proyid-
ing for the separation Of the two in
stitutions. the last agreement having
been entered into on January 6. 1919.
which also provided for the division
OF the University lands and endow-
ments. On November q. 1913, the
board OF regents OF the University
sen, a formal invitation to the board
of directors OF the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, requesting that
the two boards join in some plan to
have the Legislature submit a CON
stitutional amendment providing for
the complete separation o. the two in.
s;itutions. 1t seems, therefore, that
the governing boards Of both nstitu
tions are committed to the definite
principle Of separation as the most
desirable method Of settling the diff
ferences of the two institutions
The Democratic platform in two re.
cent platforms is committed to the
complete separation Of the University
Of Texas and the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. The Democratic
platform adopted at Galveston in
August, 1910, contained the follow
ing: Provision should be made for
the separation of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College from the Univer-
sity of Texas and the Democratic
platform adopted at San Antonio in
August, 1912, reaffrmed this provi.
sion of the permanent platform in the
following words. I'VE reiterate the
demand made in the State Democratic
platform in 1910 that the Legislature
propose and submit an amendment
to section II of article 16 of the con.
stitution providing for the complete
enforcement of the University and the
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
and remove the inhibition against
making appropriations out of the gen.
eral revenue for the erection of build
ings for the University, and that
just and equitable division of the per-
manent University fund be made be-
tween the University and Agricultur.
al and Mechanical College" The
Democratic platform adopted at FL
Paso last August did not expressly
declare for separation, but IL de
manded that the difference between
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas and the University be
fairly and equitably adjusted" etc.
That these platform demands pro.
viding for separation reflect the
wishes of the people of Texas was
clearly indicated in the overwhelming
vote of the people against consolida-
ton of the two institutions in the de-
feat of joint resolution No. IS.
Separation of these two institutions
has been urged by many OF the most
important organizations Of the State.
The Farmers Congress, with its
twenty-five affiliated organizations,
composed of men engaged in every
kind of agricultural activities, and the

NO MORE DEATH PENALTIES
Gov. Dunno Urges Conference to Take
Up Abolition of Capital
Punishment.

Boston, Mass.-Gov. Edward F.
Dunno of Illinois, addressing the gov
ernors' conference here, made plea
for the abolition of capital punishment
and invited the cooperation of his
brother executives to accomplish this
end.
THE one argument for infliction Of
the death penalty-that it acts as a
deterrent-has been proven a fallacy.
Illinois was disgraced with 651 homi-
cides in 1910 after a century of en-
forcement of capital punishment. Our
neighboring state, Wisconsin, where it
had been abolished, showed less than
so per cent Of this figure for the same
year. Federal statistics show that
states without capital punishment
have fewest homicides.
"If 1t is wrong for one man to kill
a man, if it is wrong for three men to
kill man, is it any less wrong for 20
men to kill man?
"As the executive of a great com.
monwealth, l ask you, my brother
executives, to give this matter your
careful consideration"

The definite statement now comes
from Berlin that Imperial Chancellor

was every indication that the fnan-
cial protectorate convention with
Haiti would be ratified by the Haitian
congress within a few days. The
statement was made upon advices re-
ceived from American Charge d'Af
fairs Davis at Port au Prince.
Haiti has been given until Sept. IL
to act upon the proposed treaty. In
the meantime the American marines
will continue to occupy the principal
cities of the island to prevent a re-
currence of anarchy.
Before the proposed convention can
become effective it must be ratified
by the United States senate. The
executive departments have arranged
however, to resort to a modus vivendi
or temporary working arrangement as
soon as the Haitian congress accepts
the draft now before it.
Some of the Haitian customs hous-
es already have been taken over by
Rear Admiral Capterton, commanding
| the naval forces, and supervision OF
the others will be assumed when the
time comes. Then Americn officers
will set apart portions of the revenue
received for the expenses of the Is,
land government, reserve sufficient to
meet interest on the foreign debt and
see that any remainder is expended
on public works or retained in the
| treasury.
If this arrangement works satisfac
torily, officials believe there will be
no difficulty in securing prompt rati
fication of the formal treaty when

One of his letters says, in part:
do you believe that the Progress
sives of the state will put up an ac-
tive fight, knowing that we face de-
feat before we start?
I'VE only cast $4,000 votes in the
state in 1914, thus losing 70 per cent
of our 1912 vote, and personally /
believe if the election were to be held
now we would not get more than TO-
900 or $4,000 l am curious to know
how the Republicans feel about the
senatorial race in our county. From
the number that have talked to here,
there is no question that Walter s.
Dickey has the lead over all other
candidates.
Personally l feel that he will be
nominated and elected, and l do not
feel like throwing anything in the way
of so good citizen as Mr. Dickey."
