are fine for a good crop of grass-

make cheap feed for turkeys.

We had a most enjoyable P.-T.
A. meeting last week. The pro-
gram by the school was good and
much appreciated by all. We had
good talks from three or four of
our leading citizens, which were
not only enjoyed, but were elevat-
ing and instructive to both old and
young. One talk was on keeping
good literature in our homes and
teaching the young folks to read
good literature; another on parents
training their children in honesty
and good morals in our homes by
setting good examples before the
young; still another on life, and
what it takes to live an exemplary
life, before the youths of our coun-
try.

the Fort Worth banquet should be

arrangements can be made by the
local Chamber of Commerce and
reservations will be made by that
