MoTHERED THE PIGS.
Cow Helped Out a Litter and Also
A Mule Colt.

Hampton.-One of a litter of pigs
on the farm of H. E. Lovin, east OF
Hampton, having gone, hungry two
days because the mother had gotten
too gay to provide for her offspring
spied COW lying down in the pas
ture which cast smile at them as
they Went by.
The hungry little fellow decided to
try the old bossy out, and, carefully
proceeding the pig discovered that
the COW did not object and as 1.-the
milk tasted awfully good to the half
starved porker, it got busy at once.
The other pigs took the hintLand
they all got busy, fighting forsp u
place at the source of supply. From
that time on the pigs followed the
COW, and when the pigs got loud with
their squeals which meant that they
were hungry, the old COW would lie
down and give them right of way for
another full meal. At night they nes-
tied up around her and slept.
Now the old COW is pulling off ian-
other stunt. Recently a mare on the
place gave birth to mule, and now
Go yoh think that mare was going
to own any long cared animai9sNot
on your life. She would have moth
ing to do with the young mule and
she would go after those ears with
her teeth every time the poor little
mule would go near her. Finally,
like the litter of pigs, the mule gave
up. AS the pigs Fwere weaned by
this time the COW did not want to
be out OF a Job entirely and in her
way she let it be known to the little
mule that she would be his friend.
Bossy kept giving the mule all kinds
of hints to get busy and help him
self to good meal, and after day
or two the mule got wise and now is
a regular border with the cow, and
old bossy makes the young mule feel
at home just as much as though he
was in a mule herd in Missouri.

taking BOARDERS.'
More Difffficult to Find Home Enter
tainment Now.

People who go away to work in
these times are finding it more and
more difficult to find home entertain
ment. A multitude of them can do
nothing better than have a room to
sleep in, and then they have to eat
in lunch rooms, a Poor substitute
for home life.
The typical old fashioned board
ing house and the little economies
of the landlady, have been much ridi-
culed. 1t was an institution that
brought together all types of people.
Sometimes the association was
pleasant, and sometimes Earring per-
sonalities were compelled to mingle.
But it did provide a fairly good
substitute for home comforts for
millions of people, There are many
who would bc glad to find homes Of
this old type still omen to them.
Teachers complain bitterly Of
their. troubles in finding places to
board. In many tdwns they can find
no family willing to give them a
comfortable dwelling place. This
constitutes one important reason for
the shortage of teachers.
Women who used to take boart1ers
declare that there is no money in
The business, unless they charge a
price that people with teachers in
Come. can not afford to pay.
While taking boarders may not be
profitable II you charge up against
the business the expense of main
tanning a house, yet it would seem
that manly families could take in one
or two paying guests and profit
thereby. If they intend to keep their

Two Chicago Firms Cut Prices A La
Ford.


Chicago Ill.-Two large general
merchandise houses followed the ex-
ample of Henry Ford last week by
announcing cuts from 10 to 20 per
cent in many lines of merchandise.
Food prices, as whole, We're not
affected, although sugar was quoted
at $17.95 hundred pounds and the
representative of one company pre-
dicted it would drop to $40 after the
canning season.
Cotton staples, such as muslins,
cambrics, sheetings and poplins led
the list with 20 per cent cuts =
Mems and womens ready made
clothing, shoes and corsets were
other clothing items affected. Silks
have already been reduced from 33
to 80 per cent and furniture prices
are 20 per cent off from the scale
of few months ago.
One of the companies reported
very heavy sale of sewing ma

present homes, the cost of main
tenance of the dwelling is the same
whether or not they take in outsid-
ers. - r.sE
The spirit of hospitality ought to
prompt certain number of people
to welcome to their homes, 1t is a
shame when teachers and other civic
workers, on whose service the adj
vance of the community depends,
have to beg from door to door to
find home. People ought to gladly
welcome them for the sake of help
ing on the cause Of education and
progress.

Dried Mummles :. M.dlelns.

Animal products were much used in
medicine from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth century. Dried mummy was
favorite remedy. The Importation
of mummy was an industry of some
commercial Importance and several
writers of that day caution against the
use of spurious mummy giving direc-
tions as TO what distinguishes the good
from the poor product There was
much substitution, and one dealer was
found to have done an extensive, trade
in bodies dried in imitation of the
genuine authorizations Geographic

Wharf Fires NJ Galveston.

Two destructive fires last week at
the water front In Galveston have
served TO convince the public that
the dock strikers there are car
rying out their threats OF sabotage.
II was announced last week that the
strikers had given warning that as
soon as the troops were withdrawn
they would drive the ship leaders
and freight handlers from the docks
or kill them. Gov. Hobby told the
legislature of these threats and asked
FOR authority 10 maintain order and
Keep the port open to traffic. The
legislature has passed drastic law,
the rangers have been placed in COM
mand and Gen. Wolters and troops
are at the call of the governor.

poses TO protect laborers and keep
the port open If II requires every
member of the National Guard and
every man in Texas able to bear
arms. and unless order prevails. he
will again declare martial law In

Sixteen Counties Show Increase
While Few Others SHOW Ahandon-
ment Of Tcnemeat Farms.
OF "a counties for which completl
reports ON agricultural statistics had
been received by the State Immigra-
tion Department from county asses.
sors on July l, sixteen showed in
creases in the number of farms re-
ported and eight showed decreases,
the total number OF schedules re-
ported for the "a counties being about
400 more than for last year. The
largest decrease shown was for L0-
gan county. which reported 1851
farms last year and only 2,295 this
year. The decrease is due largely to
the temporary abandonment OF
farms that were cropped by renters
last year and are not being cropped
at all this year. A considerable
number OF wheat growers whose win
ter wheat was blown out by the heavy
spring winds did not replant to any
other crop and have temporarily
abandoned their farms. The In
creases reported in most counties are
small. and are perhaps accounted for
largely by the fact that county as
SCISSORS have had better opportunities
for obtaining complete reports this
year than they did in 1919. Present
indications are that the total num-
ber OF farms reported for the state
this year will be close to 5000 great
er than for last year, the reports for
the counties showing the largest i'm
creases in number of farms not yet
being complete. Large increases In
the number of farms reported will
be shown in Las Animas, Baca, Chey-
enne, Mesa. Delta. Rio Grande and
several other counties whose reports
are not yet all in. The acreage un-
der cultivation in the "a counties
now complete is considerably larger
than for last year. The counties for
which complete reports have been re-
ceived are Alamosa. Arapahoe, Ach-
