returns could be secured to Texas cat

the production of baby beef, therefore.
a prominent breeder in Coleman
county started a baby beef contest
among the farm boys The boys pur-
chased their calves by giving notes
payable when the calves were mar
keted as baby beef. The idea proved
successful from the first, and the an
nual boys encampment and baby beef
contest, held at Fort Worth under
the auspices of the National Feeders
ard Breeders show, has increased
Last March 800 boy feeders of pigs
and baby beeves gathered to receive
instructions and to show their stock.
Over 100 well-finished baby beeves of
excellent type were exhibited. In a
number of the classes the boys COM
peted with their calves against older
and more experienced feeders. Twenty
ribbons were won in these classes by
club members. Three brothers from
Clay county won two firsts and two
seconds, and one of these brothers
also obtained the grand championship
in the competition among club men,
bers only. According to the custom at
fat-stock shows, the cattle were sold
in the open market. The boys stock
brought price averaging above the top
CT the regular market, the extra price
being justified by the quality of the
carcasses. On the hoof the cattle
weighed about $50 pounds per head,
and the dressing percentage was 60.s.

BOYS BABY BEEF CLUBS.

Changes in the beef industry have
resulted in the organization in various
states of boys baby beef clubs, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by the fed
eral department of agriculture. A
number of state agricultural colleges
are now arranging, in cooperation
with the department, baby beef shows
and contests to be held in the fall
This movement originated in Texas,
where it has proved so successful that
the Texas Baby Beef club now has a
membership of more than 1900.
This pioneer club was organized to
encourage the fattening of more cat
tie in Texas. Fer many years Texas
had raised feeder cattle but instead

It's never too late to mend, but don't

A young school friend of mine has

"Of course I wouldn't" she said
Indignantly. ut wouldn't have mat

believed in such things"
I know nothing could convince her
otherwise. And yet-well, L know she
has her religious prejudices as strong
and no stronger than those of the age
in which she lives. She wouldn't want
anyone burned to death for belonging
to an alien religion-no; but she
would vote to have a girl kept out of
society to which she belonged for
that same reason.
In other words, she is neither above
nor below, but even with, the level
of religious liberation of her day.
What right, then, has she to assume
that she would be above the level of

been a product of that age, just as
she is of this.

For instance, I found myself think

and semi-slavery of the women of the
middle ages IT would never have
stood for that; L would have insisted
upon learning to read. 1 would have
demanded more freedom" Then
thought it over and asked myself, Am
l more educated than the women who
have had my opportunities. more in
dependent than the women of to-
day?" And, finding myself only even

by the lack of tub and other facilities.
The answer is, Are you more i'm

opportunities ?" Very well, then, fin
ish the equation for yourself.
This habit of believing that we

There is food for thought in the
suggestion of Edward Trefz, field Sec
rotary of the chamber of commerce of
the United States. He's cached the
conclusion that only men who have
looked a pay roll in the face should
he sent to congress and legislatures.
And there can be no doubt about the
substance of another observation he
makes to the effect that these United
States. as a nation. and individually,
have gone law crazy" But after the
people of the country as a whole and
in their state groups have paid the
heavy bills that their multitudes of
useless and mistakenly conceived laws
will occasion, they may awaken to a
realization Of the fact that few of the
Ills to which humans are heir, inelud-
iag many of those of the economic and
social varieties. can be cured by
legislation.

MIR. CRANE Is NO
Do you know what a cypress
knee is? No? Then listen, and I'll
tell you.
When the great cypress trees are
cut down SO that the wood may be
used to make houses and things, the
great stumps are left in the swampy
soil. And as time goes on. curious
little cone-shaped growths come up
all around the stump. They look ex-
actly like toy cones such as you
might have in your box of blocks,
only they are two or three feet high.
They seem to come out of the soil to
comfort the poor, lonesome stump;
though, between you and me, 1 think
the cypress tree would rather stand
in all its beautiful glory than be cut
down and then have so many COM
forters,
But it isn't what we want. but what
we get that counts. So perhaps the

that come up all around it's poor, de-
serted stump.
As one travels up the beautiful
river in which old Mr.. Cater lives, one
sees hundreds and thousands of these
curious cypress knees, and great nest
ing places they are for the birds too.
The birds love to perch on the tip of
the knee and many bird sleeps on
its own particular knee all the night
long.
one night great, beautiful
whooping crane, one of the rarest
and most beautiful of all birds,
perched himself on a cypress knee
not three feet from the hole in the
bank where old Mr.. Cater lived. And
there. in the darkness of a warm
midsummer night, he went to sleep.
The night owls hooted and called;
the bats fluttered here and there
through the darkness. but the great
crane slept on. The big fat 'possum,
who lived near by, came down to the
water for his nightly drink, but the
crane was used to that. and slept on,
never noticing or fearing. Mosquitoes

hut still Mr.. Crane kept his head
tucked costly under his wing and
slept on.

An American ''jitney'' may actually
be worth six cents nowadays. as the
monetary experts are pointing out, be-
cause of the big advance in the value
OF nickel that is due to the demand for
this metal on the part of the Euro
pean belligerents, but this same Amer
lean "iitney'' will buy no more than
five certs worth of stuff regardless
Of it's increased intrinsic value, and
this will continue to be the case as
long as Uncle Sam stamps it as five
cent piece 1t might be possible, of
course. to sell a ''jitney'' to a junk
man for six cents, or something more
than five cents. But said junk man
would in turn likely get in bad with
government if he began to gather in
sjitneys" and proceeded to mutilate
them by melting them up to get the
nickel out of them. So the American
ffve-cent coin that now has a six-cent
value will go on doing the work of a
stitney" unless Uncle Sam orders 9TH
grwise, and. he is likely to circumvent
this situation and make a saving on
nickel by putting. less of it, or none at
ali, in such new fiNe-eent pieces as
he may coin in the Immediate future.
