ne dooSe II II fikeneSs OF touStd-
Bile Jim Hamm OF Waxahachie. one
OF the "livewire" officers of Ellis
county. Mr. Hamm has been chas-
ing criminals for several years
and has some splendid records
to his credit. He began his off
ciGl career few years ago as con-
stable of the Palmer precinct ard
during that time made a number of
important arrests. After comingg TO
Waxahachie he has served as deputy
sheriff and is now constable of pre-
cinct No. 1. He took hold OF the
office here when it would hardly
make living for the incumbent, 5nd
by diligent and efficient work he
hes made the position on of remuner-
alton.
One of the most important pieces
of work accomplished by Mr.. Hamm
was in working up evidence which
has resulted in a second indictment
in the brutal murder of Jack Jones
in this city on the night of February
2Ss Although Joe Larking, who was
executed for the crime, tried to ira-
plicate two or three other negroes
tho officers finally decided to inves-
tigate the accusation made by Lar
kins that Johnny Johnson was con-
nected with that crime. The problem
confronting the officers was TO locate
Johnson Constable Hamm began
correspondence with officers at
various places where it was report
ed Johnson had been working. A
clue secured from Rockwall led to
the location of Johnson on the
county farm in Kaufman county He

county jail Following the conven-

the murder and that somewhere the
evidence could be secured. He confin-
ued his investigations with the re-
suit that number if important Wit

went before the grand jury. The re-
suit was that on this new evidence

given the Jones murder case added
interest and some interesting devel-
opments are expected TO be revealed
when the case comes to trial.

Hamm made number of trips to

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured. clean and com
petent leadership where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power.
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

The farmer gets more out Of the

They are the most practical men

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
OF twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsulliad from the allied
influences Of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sOrdid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, shD is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and guide
TO a higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.
The Winslow mail., 1915-01-16
A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inOrdinate am
bitiOns of humanity, or by filing it's
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
It has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages Of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path,
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power Of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead Of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying it's
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. It's
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
fciency and mold the intellectual life
OF the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within it's respective community.

THEHlJRAL PRESS
THE Local Paper a Most Usefu
Agency on the Farn-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer NdJlOIldl i dIILGfS u LA4Dl4
A broad campaign Of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press.
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and Illuminated by the pow,
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity Of powerful in-
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and nc home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
it's columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col
umns of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries of life. We need more art, sci.
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, bu1
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns OF
the rural press.

Snipers in War.

The word 'sniper'' is the moderhl
picturesque equivalent for the old
franc-tireur, or free shoe Ter. The term
denotes the civilian who, having neith-
er distinctive uniform nor any connec-i
tion with regular military organiza-
tion, takes a pot shot at the invader
of his country.

: VaudevIIIe.w

Tm vaudeville, which is now
understood in the old meaning of the
variety show, originally meant short,
light dramatic piece in which songs
set to familiar tunes were introduced.
1t took the name from the village Of
Vaudevire, in Normandy, the birth
place of the poet Olivier Basselin, who
was the first to compose such songs.
He died in 1418.
