Tribute.

The Hereford Brand of recent date
contains a beautiful tribute to the
late Mrs. ]. N. Williams. and dedi-
Gated to her mother, Mrs. c. G.. With
erspoon. Mrs. Williams had SO many
friends here, where she spent four
years of her college life, that we re-
produce the following taken from the
article, which applies to her mature
age, when we best knew her.
"Her intellectual attachments and
accomplishments she was always glad
to use for the benefit of others. The
culture of the heart was begun even
before the culture of the mind and
all was builded evenly into beau
tiful and gracious womanhood. Often
we think and ask, why was this life
a benediction to all, and a ray Of
sunshine to every other life 1t
touched, permitted to shine here for
SO short a timer We do not know;
but we do know the progress of the
soul is not measured by years. She
must have done the work God meant
her to do so He took her home, but
the beautiful memory of her will al
ways be with us until we meet her
again on the other SIDE"

DIR. wanamaker's Lecture.

The club women of Waxahachie
and their friends enjoyed rare treat
Tuesday afternoon when Dir. Wanna
maker of Southern Methodist uni
versity gave a most interesting lee
ture on Julius Caesar" Mrs. C.
w. Simpson, president of the Shakes
peare club. introduced the speaker.
She said 1t had been the pleasure
OF the Waxahachie Shakespeare club
for the last two seasons to bring
some lecturer of recognized ability
to the city. Last spring the club
brought Or. Stockton Arson of Rice
Institute, and this season the club
introduced to lovers of good litera-
ture DR.. John Wanamaker, head of
the English department of Southern
Methodist university. DR.. Wanamak-
er began his address by speaking of
the pleasure 1t gave him to address
women who were students of litera-
ture. and especially was he pleased to
give Julius Caesar" to a Shakes
peare club. He classified the first
part of his lecture as seeing the
artist at work. Going with Shakes
peare into his work room, seeking to
solve his problems and difficulties,
wondering why he eliminated SO
much from Plutarch, where he laid
the foundation for julius Caesar, and
why the play was called Julius Gaze
sar. when Caesar was killed in the
third act of the drama. One reason
the lecturer gave was the action of
the play would have dragged and
interest ceased had the dramatist in
cluded all the history. Thus he vio-
lated history and put the activities
of a weeks time into the story of
one day.
His comparison of the dramatist's
and historians characters were most
The boy Lucius, the
speaker said, was of Shakespeare's
own invention and not mentioned in
Plutarch. He thinks that Shakes
peare has modified the character of
Caesar and elevated the character OF
He pictured Brutus as a
supreme idealist.
Closing the lecture DR.. Wanamak-
er gave some readings from Julius
the jests of the laboring
men and the controversy of Brutus
and Portia.
The lecture was clear and concise,
given with ease and attraction, and
the Shakespeare club felt gratified
that they had such an opportunity
for themselves as we'll as to render
such a privilege to their friends.

London, Nov 15.-The price of

"In tho opinion Of the house it is
the duty of the government to adopt
further methods of organization to i'm

TIIE FARM LOAN BOARD

Secretary Of tho Treasury McAdoo
and the members of the land loan
board" win be in Albuquerque next
Monday for the purpose Of talking
over the needs ~ this state.
The citizens OF Albuquerque and
the people OF the state generally
should welcome the opportunity Ia
give information to these officials of
the federal government ana hear
from them what may be done for
this state.
The banks Of New McNco have
never sought ioans ON the lands Of
the state largely because no farmer
can afford 10 pay the Interest the
banks can make from other kinds
Of security. A farm loan If II is to be
repaid by the farmer from his pro-
duets. must be at "a low rate ana for
long period OF years, Loaned In
this way, money becomes safer than
on almost any other kind Of sccur-
ity, and the farmer Ia given a chance.
The land loan system has been
worked with admirable advantage in
Germany, France. Holland ana the
scandinavian countries. In this
country, we never have attempted
Il. probably because we have been too
busy with other things and have
lacked proper appreciation Of the
benefits to be derived from cooper

It Is the purpose or the farm loan
board to establish twelve regional
