TEXANS RESIDING IN
RURAL COMMUNITIES
TO HAVE LIBRARIES

Fort Worth, Tex, Jan. 49,
Texans residing in rural communi-
ties will have Libraries at their
door, from which they can draw
books every two weeks. This was
the statement of II. NJ. Means,
Tarrant county farm agent, who,
with H. X. Taylor of Texas Wom-
ans college. is planning to start
circulating libraries in this county.
The Libraries. he said will be used
in disseminating agricultural lit
erature and government bulletins
on farming and farm problems.
The libraries ION wheels" were
adopted by the United States de-
partment of agriculture to bring
library facilities to the rural COM
munites. In addition to the farm
bulletins which Means said would
be carried. there would be books
on other subjects and for general
reading, such as fiction.
Inc arrival of the library auto
mobile would be heralded in each
community by an entertainment
or community welfare meeting at
which movies would be shown by
aid of picture machine carried in
the truck. Music would be fur
nished by the monograph which
would be part of the trucks
equipment.
When the library visited a COM
munity. books could be withdrawn
and kept until the next visit of the
truck in two weeks. If books of
a certain title or on some particu-
lar subject were wanted, they
would be brought on the next fort
nightly trip.
The only expense to the COM
munities is a share in the cost of
the automobile and it's equipment
and the transportation of the
books, Means said,

PRESS ASSOCIATION
TO MEET AT CAPITAL
(By Staff Correspondent.)

Santa Fe, Jan. 1S.--The New
Mexico Press Association, re-organ-
lied during the 1919 legislative ses-
sion, will meet in Santa Fe Satur-
day, January 20, to- consider leg
islative problems. 1t is probable
that an attempt will be made dur
ing the present session of the legis-
lature to repeal the law providing
for the publication of the delin-
quent tax list and to lower the rate
for legal publications. These moves
will probably meet with opposition
on the part of the newspaper edi-
tors.

PAY Of SWEDISH
WORKERS CUT To
REDUCE PRICES
Country Is Undergoing a
Period of Economic Re.
adjustment Similar to That
in the United States.


Stockholm, Jan. IS. - Sweden,
like the United States, is under
going a period of economic read
justment involving the closing
down of factories and reduction OF
wages in an effort to cut the cost
of production.
Swedish manufacturers declare
they are compelled to do this in
order to place their manufactures
on a level which will enable them
to compete with German Ameri-
can and English production. Many
of the factories and mechanical
lines began in December to dis
miss their workers gradually by
laying off ten to twenty per cent
of them weekly. When the en-
ployes inquired why this was done
they were informed that the scale
of wages averaging the equivalent
of $4.40 a day at the present rates
of exchange must be cut. They
were told that unless they accept
ed such a reduction the shop
would be closed.
No Fear of Strikes.
In most cases the workmen re-
fused and the factories were shut
a reaction against this policy be-
came noticeable before the begin
ming of the new year.
New agreements between en-
ployers and workers usually are
made in many lines at the begin
ming of the year. This time there
was a collision of the workmen's
demands for higher wages with
the employers announcement that
they would have to be cut
Swedish employers now have no
fear of strikes but, on the con-
trary, say they would welcome
them because of lack of orders and
dull prospects which seem to be
likely to result in further dismiss
sails of thousands OF workmen.
Attempt on the part of America
to exclude or reduce the numDer
Of Immigrants rs reported to have
had an influence in producing a
concilIatory frame of mind among
the workmen. Heretofore the
Swedish worker has had America
to fall back on in case of labor
troubles at home. Now he is be-
ginning to doubt whether he will
continue to enjoy this opportunity
to emigrate.

LIST OF U P R EN- {
COURT DECISIONS
Guadalupe County

John Michael, Appellee. VS..
Fred ]. Bush, ETC., ct al. Appel
lants.
This is a suit against the Admin
istrator and the American Surety
opmpany as his surety to obtain a
judgment against the said admins
traitor and his surety for the bal
ance of $160.35 claimed to be due
on an approved claim, alleging also
that the claim was q preferred one,
had been allowed as such, that the
administrator had not properly col
lected the assets of the estate and
further that had said administrator
collected the assets there would
have been sufficient funds to pay
his claim in full. No ground for
equitable relief is alleged nor pray
ed for and money judgment alone
is sought
Plaintiff below, appellee here, de-
INJURED to the paragraphs of the
answer setting up the discharge
and order of the probate court on
the ground that they state no de-
tense. The demurrer was sustained
and subsequently, no further plead
ing having been filed by the appel
lants, judgment by default against
said appellants was taken for the
amount prayed for in the complaint
from which judgment this appeal
is prosecuted.
Judgment of the court below re-
versed with instructions to dismiss
the complaint.
Syllabus by the Court.
The district courts have no ORR
ginal jurisdiction to allow a claim
an administrator and the
surety on his bond, where the pro-
bate court had jurisdiction and the
claim has been filed, allowed and
paid in part in the probate court,
no appeal from the action of the
probate court having been taken,
and the complaint neither alleges
ground of equitable relief nor seeks
such relief in the prayer but asks
for money judgment against the
administrator and his surety.

erts, c. J. and Parker, j., concur

back, and so this day there were no
fat man for the folks to see who came
to the circus, and everybody wondered
and wondered where the Fat Man was.
This was on Saturday.
MIR. Ferris never gave the show on
Sunday, Of course, SO Sunday afternoon
after all the circus people had returned
from church was good time to rest
and everybody was supposed to take a
good nap. This gave Jennie and Jerry
a good chance to look over everything
that belonged to the show. Well, on
this Sunday they were looking around
and finally they came into the tent
where all the trunks and baggage were
kept and they saw great big trunk
which was not locked, and they decided
to see what was In Ii. Whose trunk
do you suppose it was? The Fat
Mans. They opened the lid and saw
inside all the clothes which the fat man
wore in the circus. Can you imagine
what enormous shirts and trousers he
had to have? Wien Jennie and Jerry
got them out they had good laugh at
them, for the clothes looked about
three times as big as they did when the
Fat Man had them on.
!" Who else in the world could wear
these clothes?" was what Jerry said
about them And then Jennie said, !" I
know, the baby elephant" and Jerry
agreed that this was true. Then the
next thing was to try them on him
and see.
Did you ever see a baby elephant?
They are the biggest babies there il,
for the big elephant is the biggest live
thing there is, and it always seems
funny to call a baby elephant baby.

The EIe-Pha Man

fK R. FERRIS owns circus, and
|L@S all the circus people live in
kg49 tents when they are not trav-
SS8 ling. Many kinds Of animals
belong to Mr.. Ferris circus,
and besides the animals, many strange
looking people, among which is the Fat
Man. This fat man is so big around
that as many as four hOys can hide
behind his back, so you know he must
be fat sure enough, which he is.
Jennie Ferris Is Mr.. Ferris little girl.
She is nine years old, and her brother
is ten, and his name is Jerry. AS soon
as school is over, they go where the
circus is, and stay all during vacation
time with their father and the circus
people. They have good time, nearly
as good as the girls and boys who only
see circus one day each year.
Last summer when Jennie and Jerry
were with the circus the Fat Man was
missed one day and could not be found.
No one knew where he was, but Mr..
Ferris was sure he would come back in
time for the show, but he did not come
