And Some Fool Killers.

Finally Mr. Terrell wants Depart
ment of Fool Killers. saying that
such a department is necessary in or
der that all persons who refuse to
take the expert advice OF State
agents thus provided for shall be kill
ed as an object lesson to future gen
erations He says cit will cost ST.

Il will require more experts to oper-
ate it and il is Of more Importance
than all existing departments, as the
volume and value Of the work to be
done will surpass that of any de-
partmont of government ever con-
ceived Of mortal man"
The above is no doubt extreme yet
there is though, in IL that IL properly
used would make Texas farmers rich
Just think Of the depreciation Of
farm implements, wagons buggies.

from each years exposure? And
think of the wasted products Of the

mer is one Of the hardest workers Of
any class Of people They work more
hours than any other class of folks,
but they are the most wasteful class
Of people in the world. One years

make the state rich Why not save

Horse Lots and Cow Pens.

One Of the most important depart
ments that should be created, Mr.
Terrell proceeds, is that of Supervis-
or Of Horse Lots and Cow Pens He
points out that there is enough man
ure being wasted in the horse lots and
cowpens to make the farms of Texas
equal in fertility to the valley Of the
Nile. "All we need to save this i'm
mense amount Of wealth." he tells
his readers, lis to have a department
Of government created with men and
means to look after this work and
see that the farmers are properly adj
vised about this terrible waste OF
wealth and they will save it s." A
small appropriation of 5000, 600" is
suggested as necessary to start this
great work of economy by employing
experts to hand out the advice
The need for Manager of Orch
ards and Gardens is next discussed
and the fact that but for the need Of
men paid by the State to 90 around

vegetables they might pay many
millions Of dollars 70 their owners.
It is impossible for the extension

he says, and It is necessary TO have

people a small appropriation Of
100000 will enable the State to en-
1loy several expert gardeners and or
chardists to go among the people and
give them the proper advice, which
they will take, and thus save the i'm
mense loss and waste that is now sus-
tanned every year by the ignorance
and laziness Of the people"
Turnip Greens and Pot-Lioker
One of the proposed departments
with which Mr. Terrell is obviously
impressed is that Of Director Of Tur-
nip Patches He tells Of the value Of
turnip greens and pot-hcker as arti-
cles Of diet and shows that every
family might just as well have a tur-
nip patch "A necessary and moder-

George B. Terrell of Alto to The

ments and institutions of the State.

their needs and the results of then

Following this preface, Mr.. Ter
rell discusses the need of several ad-

cussion is admittedly ironical. He
says las this is 'broad-guaged' Leg

guard the interests of the people and
to save the millions of dollars that
are now being wasted annually by
The carelessness and ignorance of the
people"
The first new department that is
recommended by Mr. Terrell is that
of Inspector and Caretaker of Farm
Machinery This department IS inn
peratively needed he proceeds, 'as
there are millions of dollars wO..
OF farm machinery exposed to all

because there is no department Of

suggests a small appropriation of
100000 to start the work and EN-
ploy several experts to go direct TO

take care Of their machinery.

YANKEES TOO CLEVER
FOR SCHE|N|VG BOCHE
American Officers Reject Pre-
war Guns offered by Hun;
Cleaned Artillery Secrets
E From Enemy by Sly Coup.

With the Americans on the Rhine,
Feb. 10.--(By Mail.)-In handing over
the heavy artillery to the American
authorities under the terms of the ar
rnistice. the Germans attempt
ed to work Teuton trick or two by
rendering guns of Anticipated models.
The German officers were frankly
surprised and disconnected by the in
innate knowledge Of German gun
models displayed by certain American
artillery officers. As result q large
percentage OF the big guns offered
were rejected AZ OF pre-war design.
The group Of German artillery off,
GERS probably would be vastly inter-
ested in knowing just how the Ameri-
cans knew all about the intricacies of
their guns. It Is q secret no longer.
When the Third army first entered
Coblenz the artillery experts found
young German lieutenant remaining
behind to turn over certain guns
abandoned by the German Third arr
my. Lieutenant Colonel Bowley Of the
ordnance department engaged the
young officer in an argument over the
models OF guns and insisted that the
German must produce an artillery
handbook to prove that the guns were
OF recent model. The lieutenant hied
himself away to Berlin and returned
with the handbook and proved his
point easily. But the handbook re-
manned in American hands. The valu-
able information 1t contained concern
ing German guns was translated and
studied.
Then, when the party Of German ar
tillery officers from Essen blitheiy
showed up and tried to palm OFF all
their junk guns upon the American
army, they ran into a surprising array
OF knowledge about gun models. They
couldn't understand It, because they
never had credited the Americans with
any great amount OF thorouehness.
The handbooks also contained a
large amount OF valuable information
about the manufacture Of big guns and
steel processes used by the Essen
plant.
