The time to start right is
when you are young. I was
®nt ir a brickyard several
years ago and saw them mak-
ing brick. Tlnv would put
the clay in a big machine—
something like a huge sausage
grinder—and grind it up fine
and then spread it out just
She thickness of a bricw, and
tihen a mau would turn a big
wheel and the knives would
cut up the clay, and the fellows
would put the pieces in wag-
ons with shelves and carry
them to the kiln and burn
Jbem. 1 picked up some of
lh« clay before it went to the
grinder, and I could mold it
any way I wanted it. I picked
a*p one of the bricks a'ter it
tame out of the grinder and I
ronld still mold ii. I picked
®p someday that had lain in
ihe sun for several days, and
>y tryiug hard 1 could still
Mind it; but when I picked up
Stride after it had come out of
die kiln, try as hard as 1J
Taight. I could not even dent 1
ii. It was burned hard, and
it would always remain that j
p/ay Roys and girls arc like
t'bat clay. Wbeu they aiej
young, God cau mold them to j
io His way, or the devil can !
aoold them to do his way, but j
after they are old it is hard to
t.hange them.—Billy Sunday.
Bureau Of Markets.
An adjunct of the state De-
partment of Agriculture to
rid producers.
Anxious to extend every
possible aid in my power t.>
aid fruit and truck growers 111
ifoe marketing of their pro-
inct? I have established a
jinreau of Markets as an ad-
junct to the Department of
•Agriculture, and placed at the
feicad of it Messrs George B.
Terrell, of Alto, and E. W.
Cole, of Wharton, two gentle^
irsfn peculiarv and admirably
f snipped to discharge the com-
plex and expert duties that
w 11 devolve upo"> them.
These gentlemen have had
many years of experience both
as actual growers and market-
ers of farm products, in the
course of which, they frequent-
ly visited the markets of the
Northern aud Western States,
and have made a special study
of all the State systems of
grading, packing and market-
ing these commoiites. In
conjunction with the Depart-
ment they hav; been engaged
some time in formulating
plans from which a successful
system will be envolved, and
this great work in the interest
of the producer will be pressed
with more vigor than has been
possible under the handicaps
ot the past.
The first purpose of Messrs
Terrell and Cole will be to
organize the growers into such
selling agencies as will secure
the best results by establish-
ing a marketing system thro-
ugh which the products can be
sold for cash on track at load-
ing station, and I ask for them
in this onerous task the co-
peratioti of all growers of per-
ishable products in the State,
and of all growers' associa-
tions. i'hey can be reached
at their respective home ad-
dress for information and will
cheerfully respond to invita-
tions to address arranged
meetings.
The two fundamental pre-
requisites to a successful
marketing system in Texas
are, 1st: The grade and quality
of the product must be guarn-
teed. 2nd. The selling age-
ncy must be able to control en-
ough of the products offered
for sale to guarantee reason-
able protection to the buyer
who pavs cash against offering
of the same products brought
at a cheaper price. The ob/
ject of this Department is to
help the small growers who
ship the product by express
as well as the big ones who
ship by the car load. The
whole marketing problem is
a difficult one, but I am satis-
fied that with the active sup-
port aud co-operation of those
personally interested the grow-
ers, the Bureau can solve it.

The Country Newspaper.
Ex-Governor D<*virl R.
Francis of Missouri once said:
"Each year the local news-
paper gives from $500 to
$1000 in free lines to the com-
munity in which it is located.
No other agency can or will
do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to his means does
more for his town than any
ten men, and in fairness he
ought to be supported, not be/
cause you like him or admire
his writings, but because the
local paper is the best invest-
ment a community can make.
It may not be brill-'antly
edited or crowded with thou-
ght, but financially it is of
more benefit to the community
than the preacher or teacher.
Understand me, I do not mean
mentally, and yet on moral
questons you will find most
of the papers on the right
side. Today the editors of
the local papers do the most
for the least money of any
people on earth,"
Left Team Here Not
Seen Since.
Some time last December a
young man drove in the city
wagon vard, and left a double
team aud a buggy with the
keeper, Henry Allen. The
outfits worth is about $150 or
$200. He offered to pay for
the feed, but haviug no small
change, Mr. Allen told him he
could pay when he got ready
to leave. The man has never
bueti seen since that time and
his horses aud buggy were
sold at public aution.
just what went with the
young man, of course has
caused some comment in the
city. He was reasonably well
dressed, pleasant appearance
and had some money. About
the same time, news cime to
Tyler that a young mau rode
a horse into the wagon yard
at Big Sandy and departed
for fields unknown. Another
young' man rode a horse in
the wagon yard at Overton,
an 1 he too left for parts un-
known. Like the young man
leaving the team at Tyler,
nothing has ever been heard
ot the tl.ree men. Certainly
the actions of all three men
are peculiar.—Tyler Courer
