What the Adult Blind of
Your State Are Doing

There are approximately GOO adult
blind in this state, more than 800 Of
this number are dependent. 81 of
which are in the aims houses of the
state, and many others are on the
street corners begging, not from the
fact that they are physically unable
to maintain themselves but due to the
fact that they are unable to find such
employment rs they can do. To solve
this employment problem after one
year and half of hard work last
September one year ago Mrs. Ellen
Beach Mack succeeded in getting an
industrial training work shop started
which is located at 143l Calhoun
street, Columbia, where the blind are
given q six months course in fiber
furniture, baskcting and mattress
making, they are given this, board
and $l.00 per week while they take
the training. This shop is not self
sustaining and it has been supported
principally by Columbia since it op-
cned, yet IA counties have been rep
resented at the shop. Twenty-eight
have taken this course and we are
ready. to. receive others. The entire
state has derived benefit from it, for
all should be interested in those who
are less fortunate. Suppose after you
had passed school age you were to
awake and find yourself in darkness
in state where nothing is done for
the adult blind. Such is the case with
many and no greater calamity could
befall any one. We realize that this
work cannot be made a success with
out the cooperation Of our sighted
friends and am asking that you give
this work careful consideration and
contribute to it as you see fit on next
Saturday, April 1st. when there will
be tag day in Union for the interest
Of this work.

First to Climb
Mt. Fuji in Winter

Toxic, February l6.--(By MailN -.
Major Orde Lees. parachute expert
and antarctic explorer and Mr. II.
Crisp, both OF the British air mission
IN Japan, are the first climbers to
ever reach the summit of Mount Full
in mid winter.
Major Ordc Lees is an experienced
alpinist but the performance was
rendered remarkable owing to the
fact that Dir Crisp is q Londoner with
no former experience Of mountain
climbing.
ut. Fuji is 1855 feet high. The
climb necesSitated sleeping for two
nights in IA hut at 400 feet. The
snow extended from the summit down
to $500 feet. The last 1000 feet be :.
low the summit consisted of solid
ice. This portion Of the climb occu-
pied nine hours.
The summit was reached at z D.
an. February r. The whole of the
descent was made in dense fog dur
ing the night. A yiolent storm ragged
all through the first night. Including
rests the climb and descent occupied
exactly AZ hours A record baro-
graph was carried throughout the en-
petition
Th climbers state that the cold at
tn" top OF the mountain at night was
rot severe. They had the misfortune
20 lose their entire equipment, cam
"ras. spare clothing, thermos TASKS
snow shos and all their food through
"caching" Il at n height OF 100000
feet and being unable to find it in
the fog and darkness on the way
down. In spite Of going without food
for twelve hours they arrived in
splendid condition at their starting
pace, Got. mba.
No guides. coolies, horses on Sc
hieles were enp!oyd other than a
small! sled9c, made from Il crashed
airpiane. on which the climbrs pulled
ih'ir equipment TO the sleeping hut.
Major Orde Lees and Mr.. Crosp were
both in the ably Mail aeroplan when
il crashed at Carlisle on fight TO

Billy Whiskers
By Frances Trego Montgomery.

All four of the friends had tried time and again to run away from the kidnapers. but they had become so valuable that the men no longer took the risk of letting them run free, but tied and locked them up every night. The kidnapers had made a clear thousand dollars above expenses since they had been travel | ing over the country with the ami mals and so had no idea of letting them escape
 Night after night and long after they should have been asleep, our four weary friends stayed awake and tried to plan some way to escape. But every attempt was fofled and the kldnapers were on their guard con stantly. They had been so success full in performing that the kfdnapers had taught them many new tricks and it was simply marvellous what they could do now in the way of entertainment. They were often hired out to perform on some vaude- vile stage when passing through a large town or village
 r Their latest trick on thea astag ge was for Billy to be dressed a gallant in Louis XIV costume, with knee brooches, threecornered hat. gold lace and a sword at his side. Bettina a, lady of the court, with f1owered
  cess Lan1belle hat with pink roses set jauntily one side. Stubby was dressed as a page, and walked behind Bettina, holding her silken skirts This he did by having a hook fasten- ed to one of his front paws into which a loop of her dress was slipped, which held it securely as he walked along behind her on his hind legs. Button was also dressed as q page, and walked in front on his hind legs, with a long cuIve-laa ndIed staff from which two long streamers hung.
 In the center of the stage was placed a. table on which a dainty luncheon was served, with two chairs beside it. When rue curtain fisst went up, this was all that could be seen. but in a 'twinklng, to the rra1- sic played by the band, in walked the procession, with Button in the lead and Billy and Bettina side by side. with Stubby following, holding up Bettina's train.
 Billy and Bettina walked to the ta- ble and seated themselves while Stubby and Button stood stiffly be- side them. This scene always call ed forth loud applause and tho cur tain had to be run up time after time.
 But it really was this elaborate performance that made them all re- bel, for 1t was most WeaTfsOnne stand ing up straight and walking on their hind legs. Besides, the clothes were. most uncomfortable and Bettina com plained that they nearly cut her in two when they tied the dress on her, they pulled the strings so tight.
 Billy objected to the padded tights he had to wear. and to the high-heeIed slippers. Of course the black shoes with their sparkling buckles and red heels were very fetching, but what cared Billy for that? What he wanted was to kick up his hind legs and frisk-a free goat in some green meadow. And what was more, he had about made up his mind that that was where he was going, even if he had to jump off the stage some night and butt his way through the crowd to get out

DINNER STORIES

A young but exceptionally brilliant professor in a western college was dismissed from the faculty because of his inordinate betting. The pres ident, interested in his career, secur- ed him a position in an eastern col 1ege. To the president there he wrote: The young man has a prom fsing future, and anything you can do to cure him of betting will be benefit to society"
 The professor went east and was cordially received. Conversation had proceeded but a few moments when he said to the president, 'I'H bet you seventy-five dollars you have a wart between your shoulder blades
 The president hesitated, Young man." he said. 'I never bet; but just 10 teach you a lesson I will take you up.'
 He the-eupon proved to the young mans satisfaction that he was in error. and the professor paid the sev- enty-fIve.
 The president wrote west relating the incident. concIuding-..I hope that I have cured him.
 The other wrote back: CT fear the case is hopeless. The very day he left here he bet me one hundred dol Jars that he could make you take or rour shfrk.s

And how he can socket past the batter, this rookie left-hander being tried out by the Dodgers. Tn a re- cent practice session he worked three Innings without allowing a hit and turned back the first eight men who faced him. Which is nice work even in the spring.
 His full name is Charles Hockett He was picked up from the serni-pro ranks in Seattle where he had been starring since his high school days He stands six feet tall and is only 19 he ought to be quite a man when he gets his growth.

Drive For Experiment Station
in the Valley to be Started

A drive for the establishment in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley Of an
agricultural experiment station, to
be financed by the state govern
ment and conducted under the di-
rection Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture will be started
al Harlingen tomorrow at the meet
ings of the directors of the Cameron
County Farm Bureau and the leg
Chamber of Commerce. = nv pro-
ject several years ago a. approx
ed BY the Texas Experiment Station
officials at College Station, but APP
preparations were blocked in the le-
gislature.
Men active in the movement to
bring about the establishment of
the station point out that conditions
met with in agriculture in the Val
ley are peculiar to this section. and
that experiments conducted in other
stations in the state do not apply
here.
1--WE are in a sub-tropical zone and
are trying TO meet our agricultural
problems and stock raising Difficult
ties under training received under
totally different conditions" said
County Farm Agent Louis II. Ais
he continued, 1--WE have been con-
fronted with insects and plant dis
eases Of which we have no knowl-
edge. With the assistance of an
agricultural experiment station man
ned by corps Of experts, we could
successfully combat these pests. As
il is We have to guess most of our
way"
In addition to aiding the farmers
in eradicating insects and diseases
the experiment station would study
out irrigation problems and give the
producers advice as 10 theb est meth
ods Of irrigation and fertilization
Those who have been active in CON
nection with the project state that
investigation indicate that the Val
ley is almost unanimously in favor
of the establishment Of the station.
Mr.. Alsmever explained that it
would be necessary for the farmers
and stock raisers Of the Valley to
get together and prepare a budget
estimating the cost Of the under
taking. show the need of il, and the
advantages for the location Of the
station. The site must be donated.
The plans woud be submitted BY a
committee composed Of from eight
to twelve Valley farmers to the ex-
pertinent station administration.
and the governing board. to the gov
ernor and both houses Of the lcgiS-
lature. This must be ready before
September.
The nearest station is al Beeville
where conditions are entirely diff
ferent, ii il stated
