Olathe, Kan., Aug. 11.—“Don’t get
the idea Kansas is hard up; it isn’t.
We were never in such good shape
except for the lack of stock water.”
Thus Governor Hodges of Kansas
addressed a group of reporters today
as he reached his home here for a
brief visit.
“Kansas has raised a big wheat
crop this year,” he continued, “a big
crop of oats and a big potato crop.
Two cuttings of alfalfa were the best
ever.”

The Huerta administration, if it con-
tinues its present attitude to the per-
sonal representative of President Wil-
son, will find that they are making a
serious mistake. Ex-Governor Lind’s
mission is purely one of peace, and
there is no logical reason why it need
be construed otherwise. We believe,
however, when Huerta gives audience
to Ex-Governor Lind, he will find that
bentleman ready with an acceptable
proposition and will refrain from giv-
ing Uncle Sam a slap in the face.

NEWS FROM THE LEGISLATURE.
--------*--------
Professor Charles F. Marvin, the
new chief of the weather bureau, will
have his hands full if he succeeds .in
forecasting weather conditions satis-
factorily to the 90,000,000 people of
the United States.
--------•--
County Commissioners decide that
no election was held at La Marque
Saturday because no returns are
made.
This election was to vote bonds for
a new $8,000.00 school building.

If it is true that there will be six
active candidates for governor of
Texas next year, how would it do for
the people to settle on some inactive
candidate who declines to bother
them?—Galveston News.
--•--
Prof. E. M. Bralley, state supt. of
public instructions, will give up his
position on September 1st to accept
a position as director of the exten-
tion department of the Texas Univer-
his alleged misconduct to light.
In case of his impeachment he will
be the first governor of that state
to be forced from office.
------•------—
Uncle Sam’s assistance in helping
move the crops of the South and West
comes at a very opporptune time. The
$50,000,000.00 added to what the banks
have already will help a great deal
and it also proves that the administra-
tion proposes to be independent of
Wall Street.
Otherwise, Says Governor Hodges,
“We Were Never in Such
Good Shape.”
is always the one most sought after in
commercial lines. He has .concentrated
his energies upon one or more sub-
jects until he has mastered them and
become an expert and can command
the highest pay. The Draughon’s
Business College offers all a chance
to do likewise in any commercial vo-
cation. If you concentrate and be-
come an expert your knowledge will
command a permanent situation and
the best of pay.

BUILD FOUR HOME in Highland Park, the suburb with the city con-
leniences. Live out in the cool, quiet country, where the green grass
and trees grow. Get away from the sand, dust, noise, crowds, and the
high cost of living in the city. Homesites in about half-acre tracts at
from $250 and upward at $5.00 down and $5.00 per month. No
taxes. Free insurance.
DO F OL KNOW that it costs less than half as much to live in the country
as it does in the city? Would not a country home in a beautiful su-
burban addition, where good artesian water, electric lights and power,
paved streets, plenty of shade trees, and every convenience that is
found in the city is to be had, appeal to you—a real home, where you
can have a cow, chickens, a garden and plenty of room ? City conven-
iences added to country comforts is the combination for a home that
Highland Park offers you.
WE WANT YOU to see Highland Park, and, whether you buy or not,
it will give us great pleasure to take you out there in our automobile
if you will phone for an appointment.

F. Doughty supt. of the public schools
of Marlin, to fill the vaacncy.

it is gratifying to know that Presi-
dent Huerta reconsidered his plans
as regards Mr. Lind, and that that
gentleman reached his destination in
the City of Mexico without being sub-
jected to any unpleasantness, or
dangers.
--------*--
The frequent little showers and the
prospects of more at any time, have
in some places temporarily stopped
the haying business.
Quite a number of our people, how-
ever, have their second crop of corn
and feed stuff and prefer to see it
well matured and trust to luck to fin-
ish the haying, some time before the
rush of fall work.
Several car loads of hay were
shipped from League City last Fri-
day and Saturday.
---------•---------
As Texas is to be the hostess to
the “National Corn Show,” to be held
in Dallas next February, it seems
necessary that an appropriation be
made for a creditable exhibit so that
the people of Texas and visiting
states, may see for themselves, that
its claims to agricultural greatness
are well founded. The Legislature
has been asked to appropriate $10,000
for this purpose.
--------•--------
Governor Colquitt of Texas seems to
have poured oil on the troubled wat-
ers, by his half-apologetic, and con-
ciliatory speeches to both branches
of the Legislature. Without doubt
the Legislature will be enabled to do
better work in the few remaining
days, as a result of the governor’s
attitude.
Perhaps Governor Sulzer of New
York would like his recipe.
--—------
Governor Sulzer of New York is
charged by the Frawley Legislative
Committee with having falsified under
oath his campaign contribution ac-
count, diverted some of the funds to
his own use for the purchase of
stocks, traded executive approval of
bills for support of his direct primary
measure and with having done every-
thing in his power to obstruct the
committee’s efforts to bring proofs of
