FOOTPRINTS


The old minister and / were stand
ing on the corner, watching the cir
Gus pass through the main street Of
a Southern city. He had remarked
that in the old days of the Robinson
shows the big elephant in every cir
Gus was called, not Jumbo, but Old
Bet.
"Grandfather," he added reminis-
Gently, "once told of day when he
was boy and the shows were pass
ing his house which was situated on
one of the main roads. Rain was fall
ing, and Old Bet, wandering to the
side of the road, stepped off into a
soft place. With a grunt she pulled
herself from the mire and went on
her way, but where she had sunk
there was the print of her foot. 1t
was mammoth footprint indeed, and
the water running down the gutter
poured into it.
"The rain soon became heavier,
and the clay edges of the footprint be-
gan to crumble. The hole grew
larger. Other rains came and the
hole grew larger and larger until
there was a great washout there by
the roadside. Grandfather, who had
seen the footprint made and who had
watched it grow from mere track
in the mud to a great hole, told the
neighbors what had happened.
Through all that country the washout
was called Old Bets Footprint"
We all leave footprints as we go
through life. None of them are so
big as that of Old Bet, and none of
them are made in the same way. Our
footprints are the impress that we
make on the lives of others. We
often think no more of that impress
than Old Bet thought of her footprint
there beside the road. And as the ele-
plant never knew what grew from her
footprint, so we may never know
what grows out of the words and
actions of our lives.
Many of our words and deeds are
as if made in the dust or in the sand;
they are soon effaced. But many
are as if sunk deep into the earth;
they are the beginning of change
for good or for all in some life-a
change that can never be measured.

being and leave him quite the same.

DALHART KHAN TO WAR
BOOZE AND GAMBLING

The Dalhart Texan last week print
ed letter from the Dalhart Ku Klux
Khan. If the Khan really accom-
plishes such missions as this and puts
the gambler and the bootlegger out
of business, it can establish itself
with law-abiding citizens. AS we said
last week, time will easily tell wheth-
err or not the Klan is a desirable or
ganization. The letter follows:
A Statement from the Khan
We desire the public to understand
that we do not take the law in our
own hands, nor countenance intimi-
dation of lawful authority. On the
other hand our members are pledged
to strict observance of the law; and
especially is each one pledged to do
all within his power to assist the con-
stituted authroity in the enforcement
Of the law. Our numbers are such
md we are so rganoizing them that
re are able to detect all important in
ringement Of the law.
AS a beginning in this field Of our
endeavor the Ku Klux Klan has de-
creed that the bootlegger must go
from Dalhart. So, Mr.. Bootlegger,
our net is out for you, and you may
as well destroy your stills and stock
in trade or move to more congenial
climate.
To the gentry that have made our
community notorious for its gambling
and we are so organizing them that
you Immediately find some legitimate
occupation. We have your name and
number. "A hint to the wise is suffi-
Gent" We are fully determined that
the boys Of this community shall not
be contaminated by the evil influence
n botieegers and gamblers. II is
the sincere desire Of the Khan to fos-
Ter clean and higher standard Of cit
izenship among the boys soon to be
men, and this we know we cannot do
SO long as you are allowed to pursue
your evil practices. So mend your
ways or get out and give your room
to more desirable citizens.

COAL ECONOMY is r

Vast Of Coal, Which Is Usual Thing

Washington, Sept. 9-While the
average household heating plant is

holder will have to be very economi-
cal in its use.
The engineering bureau has COM
piled. few facts on coal and its use,
to aid the public until coal returns
to normal production. The main
point of the bureaus paper is the
need for economy in burning coal.
It has been stated by good author
ity, the paper said, that 25 per cent of
the coal wasted in home heating can
be saved. The main point in economy
is cleanliness of the plant as SCOT is
an insulator against transference of
heat and must be kept out Of the fur
mace and pipes.
Soft coal demands greater care in
firing. In putting in fresh coal, it
should not cover all the burning sur
face. If it does, the gases driven off

Iare not ignited and escape. II the
shape Of the firebox permits, fresh
coal should be placed over the front
Of the fire near the door, then as the
gases are driven off, they are ignited
over the bright rear surface and add
to the heat. Later the cooked coal is
pushed to the back of the surface and
fresh coal again applied to the front.
In the case Of round heaters, it was
said, spread the coal on the lower side
only and the gases will be consumed
by the heat on the other. The CRATES
should be left in flat position, no
part protruding into the fire, the de-
partment say, which may cause the
CRATES to warp or burn out. A bed
of ashes should be kept on top Of the
CRATES to prevent burning out, reduc-
ing it in size as the weather grows
colder, and should never belshaken
until live Goals fall out. There should
be a check draftdamper in the smoke
pipe Of hot air, steam or hot water
heating plants or kitchen ranges, be-
side the turn damper, to control the
rate at which the fuel burns it to in
crease draft. All heat pipes in the
cellar should be covered to conserve
heat, and the use of weather strips,
storm windows and storm doors about
the house will be valuable.

WHY The NAME 'MOONSHlNE'
In Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor was
Supposed to Be Made Only
at Night

America calls the liquor illicitly dis
titled. especially in the Allegheny
mountains. '.mOonshine." The appar-
ent reason is that 1t is believed To be
distilled at night and secretly trans
ported without payment Of tax or the
authority of official permit. The fact
Is. of course, that the secret stills
work as hard in day as ut night.
England used the word in similar
manner, though not in the same
sense. over there mOOnShine Is
liquor that has been Struggled into
the country without payment Of a tax.
The smuggling is usually done by
small boats H'om the contgent, that
land at lonely shores Ut night, and the
cargo is unloaded by the light of the
moon. 1t was this that gave the liquor
its generic name.
American mOOnShine Is raw, I'M
aged and often unculored spirits. Brit
ish moonShine may be the finest bran

Jamaica. In the British Isles especially

Eskimos SLAUGHTER Musk Ok.

The Eskimo hunts the musk OK with
dogs from which they do not flee. ON
sighting a small band he lets one or
two dogs loose when the older apl-
mails Immediately face outward In de-
fensive formation with calves In the
center, and prepare to give fight. AS
soon as the herd is thus anchored
the Eskimo lets all his dogs loose and
then proceeds to kill the musk OK
with gun or bow and arrow. The
musk OK are very fierce, and II
wounded bull charges the Eskimo, the
dogs In turn Immediately attack him,
which gives the hunter a chance TO
shoot a second time. In this way the
