We are in a position at present
to especially appreciate any as-
sistance in securing news items.
We call attention to the name
of R. B. Kirk in our announce-
ment column as a candidate 5for
re-election to the position of
public weigher.

The Times Herald takes time
in this campaign hustle and
bustle to tell a truth of great
value to the State of Texas and
the South. It says:
The great State Fair of Texas
will be grander than ever this
year. Put a peg down here.

Our serial story ended in last
week’s issue. Already we are
being asked when we will begin
a new one. In a few weeks we
will give the first chapters of
“The Chalice of Courage” by
Cvrus Townsend Brady, a story
of the mountains of Colorado.

The Columbus Memorial Foun-
tain will be unveiled in Washing-
ton tomorrow. It stands on the
union station plaza. A stone
shaft surmounted by a large
globe forms the back ground for
a statue cf Columbus who is
standing on the prow of a vessel.
The Old World is represented
by a figure of a patriarch^and
the New World by an American
Indian. A medalion of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella, of Spain, are
among the sculptured sugges-
tions of the age, the purpose and
the factors in the event which
the fountain memoralizes.
The Colorado Record has the
proposition sized up just right
and yet there are merchants
even in the live town of Lancas-
ter who have not yet seen the
light:
aWhile talking about the fideli-
ty due the home merchants by
the people of the home communi-
ty, let us not overlook the fact
that the home merchant owes it
to bis town to patronize the home
papers, just as much as the
home people owe it to the town
to patronize the home merchants.
In competing with the! mail order
houses, do it on the same ground
the mail order houses seek the
local trade—the columns of the
local papers,.
At a dinner party given lately in
Paris one lady was remarked above
all others for the elegance of her fig-
ure and the perfection of her toilet.
During the mauvais quart d’heure be-
fore dinner she was surrounded by a
host of admirers, and one less bashful;
than the rest ventured to offer her the
flower from his buttonhole. It was,
accepted, but as the “princess robe”
worn by the graceful creature was
laced behind, it was necessary to
fasten the flower to the front of her
dress with a pin. The operation was
successfully performed, and the fair
lady was led in to dinner, by the
donor of the flower. They were hard-
ly seated when he heard a curious
sound like the gentle sighing of the
wind, and on turning toward his part-
ner he saw with horror that the lovely
figure was getting “small by degrees
and beautifully less.” The rounded
form had disappeared before the soup
was over, and long before the first en-
tree the once creaseless garment hung

ANNOUNCEMENTS
HOW EXPERTS FORM OPINIONS
The work of the small boy-
possibly not'so very small either,
is very evident on the handsome
memorial windows at the Baptist
church, three of these windows
have been shot through and sec-
tions broken, in one the inscrip-
tion being broken. Possibly the
boy who did the work had no in-
tention of bitting the windows,
but if be bad been taught the
Distinguishing Marks May Be Forged,
but the Man Who Knows Can-
not Be Deceived.

ways proposition: “Oar com-
munity is doing its part.” If
they'will come to DaUks county
we will show them what good
roads, bridges and viaducts
mean. Let the good work go on.
The price of prunes in Chicago
hotels have soared to five cents
each. We are glad of it, for the
American ta^te is so ravinously
running to prunes that within a
decade we will lose our taste for
strawberries which in the not
long ago were considered quite a
delicacy.—Oik Cliff Eagle.

Cut out the baths by all means,
intess it can be made to reijhove
of the germs for graft.
Charging that it costs $6 to
bathe a senator in the luxurious
bathrooms of the senate office
bmildtng. Senator John Sharp
Williaims, of Mississippi, Monday
renewed the agitation for the re-
moval of the baths to make place
for pnblic documents. He said:
“Let ns move ont the baths.
There is no use to have the gov-
ernment bathe us. The estab-
lishment arouses public criti-
cism and is of little use. It is
fike going through a bull pasture
with a red flag, which makes a
bad impression on the boil. It
gives the muck raker a chance to
rake, and the graft isn’t worth
while. There is no tense in it.”
would not have risked so much.
It is very probable that windows
in other buildings have been
broken. It would be well for
parents to properly educate their
children, and in the meantime
the officers might use a little
vigilance in catching these cul-
prits, and at least giving them a
lesson in the observance of tbe
city ordinances.

We are in receipt of The
Texas Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
ciation’s Health Bulletio', which
contains much information and
many calls tor service in tbe ef-
fort to stamp ouf~ tbe White
Plague in Texas. Under the
head “Texas’ Needs” we find
such as: “A clean-up campaign
in every town, city and village,”
“Special and separate provisions
for tuberculosis children in"pub-
lic and private schools,” “A
public county hospital in every
county with special and separate
provision for tuberculosis pa-
tients, and for cases of other
contagious and infectious| dis-
eases, with provisions for the
admission of pay and indigent
patients” and “Energetic work
by county and city officials and'
consecrated efforts by public
spirited citizens to provide tor
all of the foregoing.” *
A dealer in antiques was talking
about art experts. “Take, for in-
stance,” he said, “an expert in old
pewter. You think, perhaps, he dis-
tinguishes old pewter by the mark|—
the Tudor roses, the maker’s name,
and so forth? Bless your heart, those
marks are continually forged. No, he
distinguishes old pewter by the feel.
“It is like the china expert. He,
with his eyes closed, will distinguish
hard and soft paste china. It's the
feel again—his fingers trained by
years and years of study till each
one has a brain in it.
“Oriental rug experts have a very
subtle sense of rug differences. Some-
times they distinguish a rug#by its
smell—the smell of the wool and the
dyes. This seems Incredible till you
think of the Harris tweed, that im-
ported cloth that you yourself can
distinguish by its smell—the smell,
which never leaves it, of the pteat
smoke of the cottage wherein it was
woven on a hand loom. ^ .
“Wool sorters, a less highly paid
class of experts, can take up & hand-
ful of wool, and by its color tell you
whether it came from Texas, from the
territories, from England or from
Canada. The soil, you see, gives its
own color to the wool.”

Companies are now being or-
ganized wbicb make contracts
with counties and towns to fur-
nish so many ipcbes of rain dur-
ing the year at or about specific
times. One such enterprising
company has made tbe proposi-
tion to the San Antonio chamber
of commerce to produce ten
inches of rain in the territory
around that town for 20 to 40
miles in July and August. The
company aiks $3,000, the money
to be paid after the rain has
fallen. Three thousand dollars
for ten inches of rain just at the
time it is needed looks to us like
finding a fortune in the road.—
Colorado Record.
Some times just circulating a
petition to raise the money to
buy the dynamite to bring tbe
rain bas the. desired effect, as
evidence of which we cite tbe pe-
tition which was circulated on
our streets last Saturday just
before the rain came. When the
rain began to fall the circulators
left the petition at tbe bank and
did not collect the money, and so
the rain was only a shower. We
advise carrying the scheme
through next time.
About a Pair of “Pants."
A Detroit man, who had contributed
a bundle of his cast-off clothing for
the relief of the victims of a fire, re-
ceived from one of the sufferers the
following note: “The committy man
giv me amungst other things wat he
called a pare of pants, and 'twould
make me pant some to ware 'em. I
found your name and where you live
on one of the pokits. My wife laffed
so when I shode ’em to her that I thot
she wood have a conipshun fit. She
wants to no if there lives and brethes
man who has legs no bigger than
:hat. She sed if there was he orter
be taken up for vagrancy for havin^
no visible means df support. I could-
ent get ’em on my oldest boy, so I
used ’em for gun cases. If you hav
another pare to spare, my wife would
like to get ’em to hang up by the side
of the fireplace to keep the tongs In.”

My Rest Cure.
Commit it to memory or paste it up
where your eye will often rest upon It.
Apply it daily as often as practicable;
make it a part of your daily thought,
and, my word for it, that tired feeling
will vanish and you will know It no
more forever. Your heart, your home,
your life will be full of sunBhine.
Relax mind and body. ► *
Ease up on every nerve and muscle.
Shut out all unpleasantness.
Throw care to the winds.
If you become tired when reading,
writing or in the pursuance of any-
thing requiring mental effort; if tbe
mind seems to lose its activity for a
time, its quickness of perception,-its
power of concentration, it, too, needs
a rest or change of activity. The brain
not being a muscular organ, must rely
upon bodily activity to draw away the
blood that has been used and make
room for new.—Los Angeles Times.
Inexhaustible Supply of Iron.
One of the most wonderful sources
of iron In the world is at Lac a la
Tortue, Quebec, near to where iron
has been smelted since 1733. Organic
acids dissolve the iron rust in the
sandy bottom of the rivers running
into the lake, where the exposure of
its surface to the air turns the com-
position into a persalt, forming in a
film upon the surface. This sinks in
the lake forming “cake ore," which
Is smelted at the Radnor forges into
the finest charcqfl iron. The supply
is always being replenished, and the
lake furnishes one of the few “iron
mines” in the world which will prob-
ably never be exhausted.
