FITZGERALD IS
AGAIN COMING
TOLIMEUGHT
A man in New Jersey claims to
have discovered a way to treat eggs
with the x-ray and make them
hatch one hundred per cent pullets.
The New Jersey experiment sta-
tion has been carrying on experi-
ments to see if the claims made by
the man are correct. They have
managed to get over seventy per
cent of pullets. The man’s claims
seem almost beyond belief. At the
same time he appears to to more
or less correct. This opens up a
new avenue. If eggs can be treat-
ed in this way to make them hatch
females in a few more years some
way will be discovered to treat the
other animals on the farm. Forty
years ago anyone would have said
this was impossible, unbelievable.
This makes me think, a lady in
New England the other day said
that Mr. Hoover put her in mind
of a capon standing arohnd where a
lot of sure-enough roisters were
lighting. Another woman saidMr.
Hoover was a fat, flabby, flop. And
then I think of Old Aaron Burr who
was said to have had quite a love
affair after he was eighty years
old. The other day I heard a man
argueing that thtfre were more fat
women than theUfe used to be. I re-
torted by attyi'A there were also
more fat mei S Leaving the poli-
tiout what the women
hoover ought to do good
le country. Mr. Hoover
rale of what not to be.
Iber four old men I used
pitch horseshoes. Either
'over sixty. Either one
Duld take a chew of tobac-
fit against an oak at thirty
I knock the bark off. The
ith people now is they go
to grease and guts in-
I muscle and energy.
. _ . —-Mrarj-f’otd invented the
flivver he shortened the lives of the
human race. If people do not quit
riding so much and go to walking
more their legs will perish. You
know that it is a law of nature that
if a part of the body ceases to be
used it perishes away. A few years
ago men quit wearing whiskers and
now there is not a young man in
all wore long beards instead of
big waiated trousers, and all four
of them lived to be very old. I be-
lieve to be over seventy. Mr. Ford
wants to make big fat t
worms out of the whole human _
and he is working, more to that____
than any other one I know about.
I realize myself that I have ridden
too much and not worked hard
enough. It is said Mr. Hoover re-
fused to walk from the road to the
old fishing hole where he used to
fish only about fifty yards. He was
tpo fat and lazy. He is an ex-
ample of what the whole American
people are going to be if they don’t
watch out.
For years I have been reading
about a famous apple orchard in
New York State owned by a Mr.
Hitchens. Mr. Hitchens bought up
a lot of mountain land, land that
could not be even plowed. All over
the mountains was planted in apple
trees. The orchard has never been
worked except with hoes. Mr. Hit-
chens will this year employ three
hundred hands to help him gather
his apple crop. It will also take a
month. Twenty years ago when
Hitchens planted the orchard they
told him it could not be done. The
Hitchens apple crop this year will
be worth over one hundred thou-
sand dollars.
And still the world moves on. A
few years ago the black walnut was
very difficult to hull. It would take
a person all day to get out a half
pound of black walnut meats. Now
we have black walnuts that are
large and the meat all comes out
in one piece. You could get out
several pounds of the meat in a
day. Even nature seems to want
to help us to be lazy.
Over southwest of Cisco lives Mr.
W. B. Starr the potato king of
Texas. I. have been on the Starr
farm and have seen two hundred
acres of sweet potatoes in one
block. Mr. Starr has designed his
own potato curing plant and the
plant would cost as much as a pret-
ty good farm. A few years ago
Mr. Starr was an industrial agent
on a railroad. Now Mr. Starr has
control of the sweet potato market
in several West Texas towns. Mr/
Starr quit the railroad to get
wealthy raising potatoes. But it
took work. There is one odd thing
to me about Mr. Starr. He is the

How often have you heard it over

something new and

Oakland will present it soon

to a justly famous name
... a New All-American.
A NEWvAll'Americaii
Mr. Starr has written an article
for the Cisco American describing
the origin of the Quakers. I will
give a short sketch of this article
by Mr. Starr: About four hundred
years ago England had a king they
called King Henry the Eighth. This
old king had funny ideas; in fact he
had mail order house ideas. "If
~r‘j do not like a thing we will take
back.” The old king had married
a wife and he found it seems she
was not up to specifications. So he
wanted to get rid of her and ap-
plied to the Pope of Rome for di-
vorce. It seems that the applica-
tion was made when the old pope
had a bad case of the grouches
caused by drinking too much Ital-
ian wine or something. Anyhow
he turned down Old King Henry’s
application for a divorce. This
made the king mad and he estab-
lished the Church of England and
got a divorce from a justice of the
peace. The old king got madder
because he had to keep the woman
so long and he proceeded to kill all
the Catholics in sight. Where they
had time to build a fire they burn-
ed them, but if wood was green
they cut their {leads off. It is said
several thousand Catholics were
killed during the reign of Henry
the Eighth.
At last the valet went in one
morning to wake the king up, help
him put on his shoes and prepare
for breakfast. But the valet found
the old king had gone hence. The
old king had a son named Edward.
Now Edward did not have any too
much sense and he had to have a
man to do the ruling for him while
he drew the salary. When Edward
died, he was succeeded by a grouchy
old bird his aunt called Mary. When
her brother, Henry, was busy boil-
ing the Catholics she slipped away
aflfi joined them. That is the way
things often happen. Now judging
by her pictures Queen Mary was
far from being a beauty. She was
so ugly that if her mother loved
her history does not tell anything
about it. I can speak thus plainly
about the queen because her big
brother has been a long time dead
and I am sure there is no one to
try to whip me about what I say
about her. Old Queen Mary was
mad at the Protestants by the time
she got on the throne and she stud-
ied up lots of wast to kill them.,
Some she fried, others she boiled
and made hash out of others. But
Mary did not live long and then
Elizabeth was elected queen by the
populist party. Now Elizabeth was
a pretty good old soul and she did
not give a whoop what church her
subject belonged to so they paid
her salary. Historians tell us that
she kinder fell in love with a fel-
low by the name of Sir Walter
Raleigh. Now the wonder is what
this all had to do with the* Quak-
ers. Well, back in those days a
man or woman either were afraid
to say much about which side of
the street they aimed to walk on
when they reached the New Jerusa-
lem. So there were some people
when they went to church they
were either scared so bad they
could not talk or didn’t want to
say anything that might get in the
papers. They would gather in a
church and sit still for hours as
they said until the spirit moved
them. But I always imagined they
got hungry and went home to din-
ner. They did not and do not to
this day have any preacher for a
preacher could not be still and
preach.
And this is as near as I can tell
you how the Quakers started. Af-
ter they came over to America C
would meet in some log house i____
sit around this way. The other
church members got to watching
them through cracks in the house
and saw them sitting so still with
their hat# on. The Protestants de-
cided that they were up to some
devilment and went to killing
Quakers. Then if a man talked
they would accuse him of heresy
and if he set still he was accused of
witchchaft and permanently killed.

TARLETON AVENUE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
“Gaining entrance into the King-
dom’ ’#s explained by the Great
Teacher in John 3, was the lesson
brought to us Sunday morning. The
special music at this service was
very sweet indeed.
Bro. Richardson filled the pulpit
again at the evening service. The
subject at this time was “One thing
thou lackest,” Mark 10:10-22.
At our regular mid-week service
a very important business meeting
was held.

to Stephenville and won over Tar-
leton for the championship.
The Tarleton team that plays
Friday will be minus the services
of several of its regulars. Rudder,
star center, and Raines, halfback,
are ineligible. Pinkerton, fullback,
is still on hogpital list. Irwin, sub-
stitute fullback who was .injured

the players are in fairly good shape
for the game.
As this is the first conference tilt
for Tarleton, the business houses
are contemplating closing for the
game. With these additional root-
ers irt/'thd stands, the Plowboys
should play their best not only for
