RURAL EXPERTS.
The Groesbeck Journal calls attention to the opportunities
$n the farm, as follows: .
Some young people may think there is not much to do in
the country districts except to run a farm, go into the store or
garage business, teach school, etc. On the contrary, the rural
sections will develop a field for the work of experts in various
cervices.
For instance, take the matter of farm machinery. In the
days when most farm work was done by hand, it was a fairly
simple matter to furnish the farmers with the tools they need-
ed. But as time goes on, machinery more and more takes the
place of hand labor .That machinery has to be bought and sold,
and there have to be expert workers who can put it in repair
when it gets out of order or partly worn out. That makes work
for expert business men and mechanics.
Take the matter of expert advice on agriculture. The farm-
er of the future will get more and more of expert advice, just
as the business man calls in some engineer or specialist when
he has a difficult technical problem. There will be agricultural
engineers who will go about the country towns giving advice on
some specialty in which they are particularly competent.
The old time farmer might laugh at such people as theor-
ists. And yet they will be able to demonstrate that the farmers
who act on their advice will produce enough better results so
they can afford to pay for such advice, which may come through
some agricultural bureau, or it may be offered by men who shall
make a business of giving expert advice on certain lines where
.they are highly efficient.
There will be women experts too, who will teach the house-
wives how to operate the household plant more efficiently. The
rural industries are going to see a wonderful development in
the next 25 years, and it will create oppoi'tunities for ambitious
young people.
THIS GOOSE SHOWS"SIGNS OF
INTELLIGENCE.
When you call a man a goose because he acts like a sim-
pleton, you may be insulting all members of the famous family
of fowls that is intermediate between swans and ducks. From
Missouri comes a story which indicates that at least one goose =
is endowed with good horse sense. Says the Hannibal Courier- E
Post and Journal: j =
"Ten years ago S. D. Osterhout of Hannibal had a number , E
of wild geese on his place. One day a dog chasing a rabbit =
frightened them very much and one flew away. Its clipped j g
wings had grown sufficiently to enable it to join a flock of wild
geese flying over that night. About three years ago as a flock
flew over the place one was noticed to leave its mates and cir-
cle over a pond on the Osterhout place and call to the geese be-
low. It did not join the geese in the lake, but continued with
the wild flock. Recently as a flock of wild geese passed over
one was noticed to leave the flock, circle around the pond, com-
ing lower and lower, and later it was discovered in the lot. It
did not attempt to fly away when approached and in the even-
ing was fed by Mr. Osterhout and appears to be at home. The
goose, which disappeared about ten years ago, had been on the
farm for about five years."
IN KOSSE GAMEI
I Star Player Js Badly
Injured, Football
Ends for Season
KOSSE, Nov. 21—Robert Bryant,
star quarterback for the Kosse Grey-
bounds, sustained a badly broken leg
in the third quarter of a game with
Thornton Friday, ending the game
and the football season for Kosse. "•
Bryant had completed a pass and
made a sensational run for 15 yards,
was tackled but got loose and made
an additional five yards when he was
thrown. His leg was broken at the
ankle pierc'ng the skin. Physicians
have dressed the maimed leg and
hope for a complete recovery from
the accident.
Carpenter, for Kosse made a touch-
down in the second quarter but Bry-
ant failed in an attempt to kick goal.
The score was 6 to 0 and Thornton
agreed to end the game when the
player was injured.
A game scheduled with Mart for
next Wednesday was called off
and Kosse will play no more football
this season.
Bryant had married a short time
ago. His wife was on the field to
watch him play and fainted when
she learned of the accident.

Tire Dealer Returns f
from Convention of 1
/ National Body 1
J. W. Prickett, of the Mexia Tire
and Battery Company, one of the
three Texas representatives at the
three day convention of the National
Tire Dealers Association at St. Louis
last week, has returned to Mexia. j ij
Mr. Prickett reports a very sue- i E
eessful meeting, when many impor- j -
tent subjects were discussed. It was I -
. th« general opinion, he says, that S
tires will advance in price before E
January 1, rather than decline. The =
shortage of rubber rather than Bri-1 s
tish restriction is the real cause of
high tire prices, Mr. Prickett says.
Balloon tires have caused a great-
er use of rubber, but the balloons
have meant a saving to the driver
for they last much longer than
tlM high pressure tires, Mr. Prick-
ett Bays.
