house lawn ought to be completely
surrounded by pens for livestock
and a larger building procured for
a display of the crop exhibits. BY
having the crop exhibit on the pub
lie square many people are reached
who would not otherwise be reached.
People see the fine pigs and hogs
grown by citizens of the county and
are inspired to grow better hogs.
The livestock department might well
be enlarged upon and a few calves,
mules, etc, shown to make the ex-
hibit all the more interesting. There
is hardly any way to estimate the
number of people who visited the
pig display. Streams of people pass
ing along the walk throughout the
three days and on Sunday afternoon
were noticeable.
1t is the opinion of those who
have interested themselves in the
exhibit that there is no better way
of calling attention to the wonderful
resources of the fertile black lands
of Ellis county than through crop
exhibit. 1t attracts the attention of
the visitor as we'll as encourages the
home citizen to greater effort to
grow the best crops.
Boys and Girls Work.
Especial attention was given this
year to the boys and girls work,
and it is we'll that such was the case.
If scientific methods are to be APP
Piled generally in the cultivation OF
the lands the task must be accom-
plished through the rising genera
ton rather than the present. The
average farmer is set in his ways
and it takes a whole lot of persua-
sion to change his methods. 1t is
possible toSchange the methods of q
few but best success should come
from the younger generation. Boys
and girls are susceptible to good in
fluence just the same as bad. II
is just as easy for a boy or girl to
learn to apply business and scientif-

TRIBUTE TO T. Il. ANDERSON


To the officers and members OF
Waxahachie Lodge. No. so. /. o. o.
F.:
Your committee on resolutions
beg leave to submit the following
report and ask for its adoption:
Our lodge has suffered great loss
by the death OF Past Grand Master
T. II. Anderson. Having been mi
tiated more than forty-four years
ago. he has ever since that time been
battling for the amelioration and re-
lief of human distress and for the
betterment of his kind. His worth
and merit were gradually recognized
by the order at large. and he was
advanced step by step until he reach
ed the highest point known to the
order in Texas, and in this position
he made record that has never
been surpassed by any Odd Fellow
in Texas. In his capacity as Grand
Master he had the control OF relief
work at the Galveston storm, and
his management OF affairs there won
for him the admiration and esteem
Of Odd Fellows everywhere. He
was gallant defender and able
supporter of our Widows and Or
Ihans Home at Corsicana. and the
children down there all appreciated
his work and learned to love the
man. His benefactions were not con-
fined to members of the order. but
he never failed In any case where
had want to relieve or
sorrow tear TO dry.
In the homes OF many widows and
orphans in this community his mem
DRY will be cherished by those who
remember with grateful hearts the
ton OF coal or the load of groceries
that came at the opportuna moment.
Tom Anderson was great lover
o. his fellowmen and ne was never
happier than when he was able TO
carry sunshine and happiness into
hearts and homes whore ell before

had been sorrow aud gloom. We
bury him out OF our sight. but he
lives in the memory OF those he
served 40 well and loved 30 dearly.
To the members OF his family We
tender our sincere coincidence and
sympathy. and assure them that
those who were near and dear to our
brother. while living. will always be
near and dear to us. Let the isodge
room and his picture be draped In
mourning for sixty days. and let each
brother remember as the days 60 by
the great work done by BRO. Andcr-

at large. May the clods press light

Charlie Chaplin at Lion Today

Beginning today for a four day run. Charlie Chaplin comes to the Lion in his famous four reel comedy "A Bur lesque on Carmen" That Charlie Chaplin's ability is not confined to slap-stick comedy is demonstrated in His burlesqne or Carmen. In this four-act film he combines real dra- matic situations with his most comic efforts. and from the contrast comes the hnmor of the piece. Seriously duplicating scene from the opera one moment and the next plunging into a screamingly funny burlesaue on the point immediately following His burlesque will be appreciated by all picture patrons. whether or no, they have seen the opera.

With sentries posted. uniformed men moving about, automobiles dash ing up and diseharging recruits or members bent on securing their equipment, and with 8 complete field kitchen smoking and sending out sav- ory odors, the Phoenix armory pre- sented q warlike appearance last evening.
 Captain l.. J. Holzworth. command ing the Indian company and Lieuten- ant Frank Smith were busily en- gagged in getting together their men. Staff officers pointed with pride to the manner in which the Indians have been kept ready for instant service. They had their equipment divided and distributed in the supply room, in such a way that each man could in- | stantly pick up his entire list of ac- 1 coutrements without delay. The | blame for this Is said to attach tc l Lieut. Smith, who has made it a sort est state of efficiency.
 Along with the members of Com. l rany F, the armory was the meeting l place for many of the members of the 1 unassigned company that used to b; called A. It was freely intimated tha I this company would be reinstated ant
