Our readers will | emiit, we trust,
to remind them attain that next Sun

day.
It will ho remembered that this
Observance is sponsored by the Near
Ea t Relief. t«> which this community
has jjiven most generously in years
past. Its appeal for orphans left a-
lone and helpless in the world when
the Turks undertook to wipe out the
Armenian nation, was first made to
the American public in the midst of
the war years. Except the Red
Cross, no other of the great charities
originating in that time vooTitinues
aiding. But the Near East Relief is
obligated for the < are of the
same orphans whom it gathered from
the highways and byways after the
scourge of the Turkish sword had
passed by.
A considerable proportion of the
older children have, of court**, come
since to the age of self-support, and
these have been very successfully
"placed out" in situations where they
promise to Ik* a credit to their par-
entage and to afford a virile new
stock to continue the life of their
ancient nationality. But the most of
those brought in for orphanage shel-
ter f<<ur j >r tve years aj$o were
scarcely more than infants, and they
are children still. It is evedent that
the necessities of this great philan-
thropy remain insriston.
It is equally evident that the fer-
vor of sentimental benevolence which
thrilled America in t.he time of bat-
tle and bloo<| has largely cooled. The
sentimentalist is not impressed with
well-dressed and well-fed orphans in
a properly conducted asylum as when
the picture before them was of rag-
ged waifs in the gutter.
But. those orphans need food and
clothing just the same now as when
they were first rescued from the
Turk, an<j American generosity is
their supreme hope. This the prac-
tical-minded anld unsentimental giv-
er knows quite well—and he gives
acordingly. Our people, we believe,
are this clear-headed sort of givers

lection f< r this charity to prove it.
must be a good town whiv'h lias a

The visitor naturally thinks that a
city which i i ters welcome in so con-
spicuous a way means it. If the peo-
ple he meets smile and are cheerful
he at once realizes that they are peo-
ple worth while and the town worth

BY WILL II. MAYES.
Stench l ick-- Count Most
A Texan whose business calls him
all over the State recently said: "I
have be*'ii watching the growth of
Texas for years and have found that
the places that outline a building pol-
icy of some kind and stick to it close-
ly have built right along, while those
that hammer at one thing a few
weeks and turn to something vise l>e-
fore that is accomplished are little
better off than they were twenty
years ago." He is right in the con-
clusion drawn from his observations.
Must place that are not <1 ad enough
for burial have had periods of intense
activity along certain lines, but have
either stopped effort or turned to
•mething else before accomplishing
what th y undertook. Look the State
•ver and hardly an exception can be
found, ('ities towns and communi-
ties that have been persistent in fix-
ed and definite efforts are developing
and growing. Tho-e that hav\ gone
at things half-heartedly for a time
only to quit them and go at some-
thing el-1 are at a standstill. There
Christmas, the fall turkey crop bring-
ing to growers about $350,000. A
number of other Texas counties have
found turkeys just as profitable.
Texas Grass Baskets
Beautiful baskets are being made
fr< m the -tiff, native grasse of Hi-
dalgo county under the direction of
the county home demonstration agent.
The work gives pleasing and fairly
profitable employment. It >s said
that the native grasse: in many parts
of tile State are adupted to basket
inak>ng.
Broom Corn in Texas
I he sandy land farms around I le-
vin • arc producing profitable crops
of broom corn. One farmer has sold
more than $-1,000 worth of the corn
tin year. It is a crop that does not
have to be forced on the market,
but that can be stored and held for
sati- factory prices.

Pecan Trees on School Grounds
W. Goodrich Jones, the best known
authority of Texas on trees, is ,• jt>•
forester of Waco. Under his direc-
tion the school children of Waco have
Washington, I planted 15,000 p. cans on the school
' grounds and will care for the trees.
The nuts have been planted in pi's
and when they have sprouted will be
j replanted. Those not needed for the
school grounds will be given to the
children to be planted and cared for
at their homes under the direction of
Forester Jones. Every school com-
munity in Texas could profit by the
idea. Why not appoint a teacher to
serve as forester and bud the pecans
now? Doubtless, Mr. .lone will fur-
nish needed instruction- as to the
best cultural method .
During the short Fall and Early
Winter days egg-production appear)
to be correspondingly shirt. For
some reason or other, as the days
grow shorter, egg-production dee reus
es. Careful experiments have prov-
en that the greatest and most eco-
nomical egg-production is possible
when the flock has a 12-hour work
day. In the Fall and Winter to pro-
vide these conditions, it has been
found necessary to resort t( artifi-
cial illumination. We know that
light by itself does not make eggs
and d<-es not directly make hens lay,
but we do know that with the arti
ficial light, we can lengthen the work
ing day for the hen, we can give
her enough light so she can see long
en ugh each day to pick up enough
egg mash and scratch grain, to man-
ufacture an egg at least every other
day and possibly every day. The
short days cause the lu'tis to go to
rttio-t early, not giving them enough
time to fill up their crops necessary
fi r heavy egg production.
Where electric light.s are available,
we have found that the best, unit is
a standard 4<i watt factory type Maz-
da lamp with a cx.ne shaped reflec-
tor, IT. inch< s in diameter at the base
j by \ inches, with the reflecting sur-
i face of aluminum bronze. This com-
bination should he hung <> feet from
the floor. A light without reflector
ordinarilly results in a dimly lighted
pen.
Probably t.he best time te> turn on
the light.s is early iti the morning,
say 4 .10 or "< o'clock and leave them
on until the sunrise. This will giv<
about 7 hours in the forenoon and
l unless on cloudy days the fowls can
] see unt.. a o clock in the afternoon.
Using lights at night requires a pro-
per dimmer system, so that when tin*
main lights are turned off the' dim-
mer lights will make it possible for
the fowls to find their way to the
roosts, then these also may l>e tun-
ed off. Alarm deck devices for turn-
ing on lights may be made. Special
time switches also can be purchased
for this pupose All we can to *ay
here is that the question of artificial
light to make hens lay is quite- a
study by itself.
Electric lamps are to be preferred
lor this put pose, (in large poultry
i< rin . it would be profitable inves-
ment te install a home light plant,
where alternating city current is not
available.
Gasoline lantern with proper re-
flectors may be used, also kerosene
lanterns. In connection with their
use, we feel obliged t«, advise extreme
precaution because of danger from
fire.
The method of feeding, where ar-
tificial illumination is used, must be
changed a little t<, fit the special
condition i.
It is a goeid idea t*> have the dry
ma h hopper feeding space especial-
ly well lighted. It is also desirable
to have a little scratch grain in the
litter tor them, ('specially < dd morn-
ing-. Remember the light only
in es it possible for t.he hens to see
to eat more, unless this feed and the
proper kind is available artificial
light has no more value.

I do n^.t know which is t'i< h■•tier
but it must be obvious to all that a
majority of the hum.-m rac is en-
gaged in trying to please others.
