BUYING TEXAS CATTLE

Judging by the number of inquiries that have come to the commissioner of agricul- ture from all over the state large num- bers of Texas cattle will soon be eating the luxurlant grass that grows on this side of the Mississippi river. Two weeks ago 1t was reported that cattle were dy- ing from starvation on the Texas ranges because of the long-continued dry wealth. CT, and that they could be bought cheap for the cash or shipped to this state and grazed on shares. The federal govern ment got in behind the suggestion and let down the quarantine bars so that with one dipping the range cattle could be brought into Mississippi It Is under stood that thousands of them have been contracted for already, and some have already arrived, One county In the north ern part of the state wants 10000 head. declaring 1t has the grass to fatten that many moro steers than are now there. Many thousands of acres of grazing lands in the cut-over pine lands in the southern part of the state are also being pop ulated with the Texas cattle. Mississippi made the same mistake that has been made In other state by selling off her heifars year or more ago, when prices began to soar skyward. and now sees what a serious business blunder that was.

Old Friends Meet in South

The St. Petersburg (Florida) Daily
Times has the following to say in it's
issue of Jan. 21st:
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. S. Brown and
two daughters, Mrs. Beth Cary and
Miss Alice Brown. of Oakes, N. D.,
arrived in the city on the Pinellas
Special last night and are at the West
Coast inn.
Mr.. Brown, who is president of the
Oakes National Bank and interested
in many other business enterprises in
his home city, and Editor w. L. Straub
of the Times, were twenty years ago
partners in the ownership and publi-
cation of a newspaper in Oakes. Mr..
Straub in 1895 removed to Grand
Forks, N. D., Mr.. Brown continuing
the publication for several years until
other and larger interests caused him
to withdraw from it's active manage
ment. The two friends and their fam
lilies had not met for nineteen years
until in the Union depot at Jackson
vile yesterday morning, the meeting
there being wholly accidental and
vastly surprising to both.

tion between ordinary legislation and
the drawing-up or revision of new
constitutions is clear and we'll defined.
There is no good precedent in our his
tory for legislature revising con-
stitution. Revision lies within the prov
ince of the constitutional convention.
which although not expressly provided
for in our present constitution, is
the only regular and legal method
sanctioned by ong-established prac-
tice in other states. True, a few tin
horn lawyers have attempted to show
that revision as planned by H. 3. No.
A is regular and within the law, but
no man of judicial temperament and
standing would characterize it as 9TH
erwise than revolutionary. What ne
cessity there is for resorting to such
a method for revising our constitu-
tion, passes my understanding.
l confess to some trepidation in
coming out against the leaders of a
powerful political organization to
which in the expressive words of Mr..
Thomason in the Devils Lake Journal,
l owe my political all" He is at a
loss to understand "how man who
has been picked up out of the wheat
field and placed in a position of hon.
or, can then turn and bite the hand
that placed him there. There is more
honor than that among thieves, an
archists and nihilists" Being a sim
pie, unsophisticated tiller of the soil
l may perhaps have ideas of right
and wrong which do not jibe with
those of the Dictograph man, and I
certainly know nothing about the
standards prevailing among the
classes which he enumerates. But to
be considered as mere tool, to be un-
der obligations to take and follow out
orders blindly and have a Damocles
sword suspended over me, if only
dare! Well, it aroused in me spirit
of combativeness. have been threat

GREAT MAJORITY OF WOMEN
KNOW LESSONS OF ECONOMY

ATLANTA, Ca, April 1S.-The great
majority of Atlanta women, like the
great majority in every community, al
ready know the lesson of economy, but
they are going to practice more strict
economy than ever before in order to
help the United States and the Entente
Allies win the war; while the women
of the rich and fashionable classes are
pledging themselves to cut down ex-
penditures for clothes, for lavish en-
tertainments, for new automobiles and
for other luxuries whoch they can do
without, at least SO long as the war
goes on.
In response to the appeal of Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Thomas
Marshall the various women's organ
izations of Atlanta have taken up the
economy slogan and are not only
preaching it on every occasion but are
actually putting it into practice.
