hi 111 some practical experience. And
i' inspires confidence in the boys.
They get used to talking business
and.transacting business, which is a
great force in shaping their future
careers.
. The Brown County bankers should
be congratulated in their endeavor
to aid their boy friends, for they are
doing more than merely bringing
about the production of more meat.
They are giving the boys practical
training—training that one is really
not supposed to enoy until one
reaches the age of twenty-one or
over. The experiment will undoubt-
edly prove a success, and bankers
over the state will do well to keep
an eye on the movement.

TAX KM A\l) POPULATION.
Dr. Hi iman (!. James of the Uni-
versity of Texas is making a study of
the government of Texas cities. He
has received reports from sixty-one
titns and from the information thus
obtained he has issued the following
in regard to taxation:
Tax rates of Texas cities vary with
the population, according to the sec-
ond bulletin "Texas Municipalities"
prepared by Secretary James of the
League of Texas Municipalities. ' The
average tax rate in seventeen cities
of less than 2500 population who
made returns of their rate is 45.5.
In* the next larger class between
2500 and 5000 population, the aver-
age tax rate in seventeen cities giv-
ing their tax rate is 8ti 5. In the next
t lass those between 500(3 and 15,000
population, the average in eleven
cities is $1.35, and in the cities
between 15,000 and 30,000 those
who made returns of their tax rate,
the average is $152. The next
class between 30,000 and 100,000,
only one city, Austin, made returns
and in the largest class above 100,-
000 only one city also made returns,
but even in these cases the tax rate
continues to rise, being $1,83 in the
first case and $1.85 in the second.
The report then declares that it
seems warranted to say that roughly
speaking the tax rate varies with the
population, though, of course, not ex-
actly as many individual variations
from the rule can lie found.

down in Mexico hundreds of soldiers

that it is not lunny. So far as our

We don't know for certain how

ness. Jn speakiug to the student body
Kiiday he even went so far art to com-
mend tho erection of our shacks, and then
sought to >usttfy his position. He believes
that the management has "inaugurated a
good policy." So firmly does he believe
this that he Is on his way to Illinois now
to tell the folks at home about the pro-
gressive business policy he found in Texas.
"In the next six months," he said, "Illi-

It is a bag of shells. Let us for-
get It for the present and get up some
veal nice human Interest stories
about the university. And let us
get seine stories without the name of
some professor in it. The Telegram
has a notion that the public is not
intensely interested in the fact that
the man in charge of the ology de-
partment is Prof. Highbrow from K1
Pringsepay University now serving
his third consecutive term as an in-
structor in two or three studies that
nobody ever heard of before; the
public never expects to meet him and
therefore the acquisition of his name
ih useless information. But if he
really teaches something, the public
would like to know what it is and
how he teaches it. There is bound
to be a mine of information down

The mother of months in meadow

Kills the shadows and windy places
With lisp ot leaves and ripple of
rain;
And the brown bright nightingale
amorous
I Is half assuaged for Itylus,
j For the Titrating ships and the for-

i The tangueless vigil, and all the
pain.
Come with the bows bent and with
emptying of quivers,
Maiden most perfect, lady of light,
With a noise of winds and many riv-

With a clamor of waters, and with
might;
Bind on thy sandals, O thou most
fleet,
Over the splendor and speed of thy
feet!
For-the faint esist quickens, the wan
west shivers,
Bound the feet of the day and the
feet of the night.
Where shall we find her, how shall

Fold our hands round her knees

O that man's heart jvere as fire and

Fire, or the strength of the streams

For the stars and the winds are unto

As raiment, as songs of the harp-

The light that loses, the night that

And the time remembered its grief

The full streams feed on flower of

Ripe grasses trammel a traveling

The faint, fresh flame of the young

From leaf to flower and flower to

And the oat is heard above the lyre,
And the hoofed heel of a satyr

The chestnut-husk at the chestnut-

And Pan by noon and Bacchus by

Fleeter of foot than the fleet foot
kid,
Follows with dancing and fills with

The Mascnad and the Bassarid;
And soft as lips that laugh and hide.
The laughing leaves of the trees di-
vide,
And screen from seeing and leave in
sight
The god pursuing, the maiden hid.
The ivy falls with the Bacchanal's
hair
Over her eyebrows shading her
eyes;
The wind vine slipping down leaves
bare
Her bright breast shortening into
sighs,
The wild vine slips with the weight of
its leaves.
But the berried ivy catches and
cleaves
To the limbs that glitter, the feet that
sc»re
The wolf that follows, the fawn

Talk is the cheapest thing In the
world. Arid some times it is the most
expensivo thii.g to some people.
The only time to tulk is when you
have something important to say.
The best time to keep quiet is 'when
you have something important in
your brain that no one but yourself
should know.
Recently, two men met in a prom-
inent New York hotel. One bccaiae
very talkative and told his mission
here in this country and what he was
going to do. The other man kept still.
It developed that both these men rep-
resented great houses in competition
on a big job involving thousands of
dollars. The silent man, having had
revealed the moves of his competitor,
went and closed the order.
Never talk to a stranger—excepting
perhaps in a friendly manner to take
sides with him as to the condition of
the weather. That's always a safe
topic.
Talk to benefit or to amuse or to
convince. But learn to keep your
own counsel and your own ideas. Oct

MISSISSIPPI lil'MBER LAW.
High Court Refused to Condemn
Largo Lumber Holding.
Jackson, Miss, March 30.—Conten-
tions of the Edward Hines Lumber
company, in a suit involving }15,000,-
000 worth of timber lands In this
state, were upheld in a decision of the
Mississippi supreme court today. The
state attorney general brought suit
against the company to enforce a law
providing that corporations could not
hold more than $12,000,000 worth of
land in Mississippi. The supreme
court held the law constitutional, but
decided it affected only domestic cor-
porations.
Answers to Dairying Questions.
Prof. J, W. Itidgway, of the Dairy
j Husbandry Department at the A. &
\ M. College of Texas, in answer to
j questions asked by farmers and
! stockmen, made the following re-
plit s:
"Cottonseed meal (raw) makes a
very satisfactory feed for dairy cows,
: provided they are not fed in too large
quantities. 1 would never advise
feeding over six or eight pounds
daily. A good grain or concentrated
ration for dairy cows consists of equal
parts by weight of cold pressed cot-
tonseed cake and wheat bran. For
every 2 1-2 pounds ol milk, feed one
pound ol this mixture. As an illus-
tration, if your cow is giving three
gallons of milk daily, then she should
have ten pounds of the above mixture,
5 pounds at a feed. In connection
with this grain or concentrated feed,
she should have as much Johnson
grass hay as she will eat up clean.
Cottonseed meal can be if preferred,
fed instead of the cake, 3 pounds of
meal being substituted for 5 pounds
of cake, which will get practically the
same results with only a slight if any
increase in cost.
The age at which it is advisable to
breed dairy heifers depends greatly on
tlieir development Unless a heifer Is
exceedingly developed 1 do not advise
breeding to calve earlier than 22 to 24
months of age. Usually about the
fourteenth month is the best time at
which to breed. I think the practice
of breeding at eight months should be
discouraged beeause it will result In
small cows, and small cows cannot
and do not produce as much milk as
larger cows.

How many men in Yoakum will
volunteer to donate a day'o work on

that the people of Yoakum are city

The men of Yoakum are city build-
ers of the most progressive type.
There is, however, one thing we need
and that is a civic club. Wo agree
that city building is a man's game
but they can work to a much greater
advantage with a good live ladies'

An editor in a Oeorgia town re-
cently arrayed many of his town
women against him because he criti-
cised tliein for the extravagance of
dress, *he waste of time in trivial so-
cial affairs and the distress and hu1
miliation which they brought upon
their husbands who were unable to
supply enough money to gratify their
whima.—Beaumont Enterprise.
Thai Oeorgia editor was a martyr
to a noble cause and probably licver
would have succeeded as a hen-peck-
ed husband or a mollycoddle. If the
women could have proved that his
utterances were untrue that would
have ended the discussion and proved
their vindication, but since they could
not disprove the assertions they re-
sorted to angry retaliations on him
for daring to expose their folly. We
do not suggest that the allegations of
the Georgia editor apply with equal
force throughout the country, but if
they do so apply then it is a shame
and a disgrace to humanity. And you
can take either wing of that dilemma
that you prefer.—Temple Telegram.

THE LADY'S MAN |
(By Watt Mason.)
Young Jinkson loves the tribes of
girls, and after them keeps running;
and all the Beryls, Maes and Pearls
Just think he is loo cunning. He
warbles love songs by their bowers,
and he's a peach, they reason; he
hands them costly wreathes of flow-
ers, and oysters in their season. Tho
maidens say, "He's sweet, ods fish!.'*
And he, cheered by their kidding, an-
ticipates their slightest wish, and
hastes to do their bidding. Bright
smiles are always on his face when
he's among the ladieB, but when he's
at tho old home place he looks aa
sour as hades. His sister's an en-
chanting maid-—few smtles he over
gave her; and when he's round she is
afraid to ask the smallest favor. And
with this girl he's aye at war—he
never loved or kissed her; he saves
his sweet expressions for some other
fellow's sister. His mother's old and
worn and sad, and if she murmurs,
"Charlie, 1 wish you'd help me here,
my lad," he looks up, cross and snar-
ly. "I^et sister help you," he replies,
her sad voice little heedipg; "these
interruptions I despise—you see I'm
busy reading!" Some day he'll wed
a dimpled dear, when he has saved
the boodle, and when they're married
half a year she'd swap him for a poo-
dle.
