Art Takes to LOiiljf-
villi, Illiaeis, for Banal
Rev. W. P. Wright whose illness
waa announced last week, died at
his home in North Bast Hereford,
oa Thursday afternoon. Funeral
servicea were held at the home on
Saturday after which the body was
takea to Libertyville, Illinois, his
former home, accompanied by his
father and mother, who had come
here a few days before his death.
Deceased was thirty rears old
and leaves a widow besides his
father and mother. He was educa-
ted for the Presbyterian ministry,
bat had scarcely entered the work
when his health broke down. Some
two or three years ago he went to
Rincon, New Mexico, and took a
pastorate, thinking the climate
would benefit his health. The work
proving to hard for his strength, he
went to a sanitarium in Albaqasrque.
Seeming to recover aomewhat be
came here early last summer. They
bought the D. L. McDonald proper-
ty and expected to make their home
here. However, be grew worse and
9. few weeks ago a cold accompa-
nied with la grip hastened the end.
Mrs. Wright left this week for
Albuquerque, N. M.
George Cloyd for Sheriff
It has been known for several days
that George Cloyd would be in the
race for sheriff and tax collector of
Deaf Smith county, but not until this
week has his name appeared in the
list of aspiring candidates. To be-
gin with, George Cloyd needs no in-
troduction to the public; he has been
aa the Plains for a number of years,
living in Castro and Deaf Smith
counties since 1899. He has been
engaged in the stock business in one
way or another during these 17
years and is well and favorably
known by every old timer and most
of the new people of the county.
His friends who are supporting him
for this office know him to be fully
qualified for the place—strong in
body; a straight-forward, plain kind
of citisen, and a man that will per-
form the duties of the office withoot
fear or favor. He recognises no
classes among the people of this sec-
tion. All he asks is a fair show in
the race for sheriff sod, if elected,
will devote bis time and energies to
the duties of the office. Of course,
he's a democrat and his name will
appear on the regular primary tick-
et. He says his friends will never
feel sorry about voting for him, if
he can help it; he wants their votes,
as it takes votes to get the office.
How Me Loved Him—W.
■he—Joat tliInk. Henry, we're rarer
ked a cram word. He—No. Miaw.
Ain't 1 the patient ~nae T Ifirhanso
The dsmoastration of msthods of
the lands of the Plains,
aow being carried out on ten sec-
tions north of Bovina, Texas, is of
.more than passing interest. Col. A.
J. Bestor of South Africa, is there
to stay-
He is no novice. He has studied
agriculture carefully under similar
climatic conditions in Africa, and
for more than two years he has ob-
served closely on the Plains. He is
therefore no theorist.
Col. Bestor believes in plowing
well and deep. His plow operated
by a 75 horse power caterpillar en-
gine breaks land fourteen inches
deep and pulverises the soil thor-
oughly. Land is being turned at
the rate of 200 acres a day, some
two thousand acres to be cultivated
this season.
Interesting as are his farming
methods, the introduction of the Eu-
calyptus trees is more so. This
tree is of many species, though most
people thinh it tropical exclusively.
But varieties are well suited to
Plains conditions. Col. Bestor is
trying the Eucalyptus in earnest and
has planted many thousand seeds
that are now sprouting, enough to
make a real forest.
The Eucalyptus is a rapid grow-
ing evergreen, well suited for many
purposes, including telegraph poles
and railroad ties. The demonstra-
tion is ot great value to the Plains
of West Texas and Eastern New
Mexico.
It is not an experiment station
that Col. Bestor conducts at Bovina
by any means. He is there for bus-
iness and farming according to the
best approved methods for Plains
conditions. His farming operations
are therefore worth watching by ev-
ery progressive farmer on the
Plains. A. M. Hove.

Veraea Adopts Commission
Oeverameat
Vernon, the couoty seat of Wil-
barger county, has adopted the com-
mission form of government by a
large majority. This method of
governing cities is becoming very
popular in Texas and the best proof
of its success is the fact that none
of them go back to the old method
after trying the commission method.

Mayor Knight made a timely sug-
gestion in urging the property own-
ers to plant trees. Hereford is our
home town. We should do our best
to improve the town in which we
live. Just now we cannot build rail-
roads and factories, but we can do
something that will bring these io-
dustries in due time. We can plant
trees and improve our homes and
even vacant property would grow
both in value and beauty if a few
trees were planted on these lots we
are holding. Let us seize the op-,
portuoities at hand. Let tne citi-.
zens of Hereford plant trees and |
otherwise beautify their homes and j
town, and the homeseeker movingj
this way will be attracted by the j
beautiful town with her enterprising
people, and other homes will be
built. A beautiful town attracts j
you, it will also attract others.
Such a town and such a people will,
in due time, attract men with mon-
ey and larger enterprises will be
launched. Trees must be planted
now. That sidewalk and shed can
j war until this summer ; those trees
j must be planted now. The season ,
is here. Be a booster. Let's sack!
our public spirited commissioners,
and all pull for a larger and more
beautiful Hereford.
Que Who Is Planting More Trees, j
Jitney Deliveries
Hereford is progressing —toe gro-
cery stores are now using the jitney
deliveries and you can get a can ot ,
soup or a sack of flaur delivered
while you wait, if something don't j
go wrong oith the spark plug Thts:
innovation will give a rest to the
tired horses and wil. save some onip j
leather, but groceries are likely to ,
get higher in price, snould the price!
of gasoline keep oo soaring. i
It is to be hoped that nothing else
will happen to the bifb coot of try-
ing to live.

Where Will It Stop?
To Our Customers : —
Enclosed is supplementary price
list showing advances from the pa-
per manufacturer.
We are using every means at our
command to held prices at their
present level and hope it will not
be necessary to raise them again,
although the market seems to be in
a more than ever chaotic condition
owing to the almost impossible task
of securing raw siock.
Our own mills advise us that with
their material on hand, they hope
to carry present prices to June 1st,
and will do their best to this end,
but at the same time warning us
that they may not be able to do so.
You may rely on us to take care
of your every order in the best pes
sible manner.
Very truly yours.

the Time Is Oat*'
As announced the Brand is follow-
this rote to the letter. The circula-
tion manager has been instructed to
drop all names from the list, "When
The Time la Out." A few oaasss
were dropped the first ot the month,
but most of the names have been
placed back on the list by the only
route—the payment of Si.50 for a
fear's subscription. We believe
the patrons of the Brand will like
tbie method better than the old "pay
as-you-please" style; we like it
better. Notices will always be giv-
en during the month. Please give
attention to these polite "duns" and
respond accordingly. 72
Small Pox at Clevis
The smallpos epidemic at Clovie,
which was thought to be undsr con-
trol, haa broken out afresh and is
spreading rapidly. It is feared
that it is even now beyond the con-
trol of the autbories. The Clevis
Journal says there is grave possibil-
ity of the postal authorities restrain-
ing out-going mail should oew cases
continue to develop. No blame at-
taches to the city authorities or to
the physicians but to families who
have failed to give information,
thus escaping quarantine.
Moves sad Repairs House
J A. Foa has moved the old
house from the Mrs. McCracken
lot on Twenty-Five Mile Avenue, to
his property across the street. He
will have the house repaired and
made habitable. He has just re-
cently repaired one of his houses
near the same location.

Bogs tio per Hundred
For the first time since 1910, fat
hogs passed the $10 per heed mark
in St Louis last week. It is to be
regretted that more of the maise
that has been marketed in Deaf
Smith and Castro counties was net
fed to hogs. With the ideal climate
snjoyed by the Panhandle and the
abundance of cheap feed, hog rais-
ing shouln be carried on to a larger
extent
Gets Fine Ralls
Mr. Rat Jowell received this weeh
seven pure bred bulls from the herd
of Gudgell fit Simpson of Indepen-
dence, Mo. Theee bulls ars some
of the best bred antmala ever
brought here and are great individ-
uals as well.
Jowell brothers are doinc much
for the stock industry in this section
by bringing in such foundation
stock. They have now one of the
best herds in Texas.
