tions, as a hive hums with bees.
It means, further, that the chief
stress of effort should be laid on
Texas problems. But it is equal
ly important that this should not
be done in too narrow and mate-
rialistic a spirit. Investigators
can, to an extent, choose their
own problems, and should be en-
couraged to choose those that are
vital. But it is sheer folly to at-
tempt to choose their problems
for them. A man skilled in the
search for new truth must prose-
cute his search as his talent di-
rects. He can be encouraged to
seek it in practical directions
rather than in others. But, if
force is applied, the hne that lays
these golden eggs will become
sterile. Nor is it possible to know
beforehand which products of the
library and laboratory will be ser-
viceable, and which will not.
Once more, new-born truth is like
a new-born child. Its possibili-
ties are so many, so varied, and
so rich that none can foretell its
future. Any child bom today
may, for all we know, become a
Shakespeare, a Goethe, a Luther,
a Washington, or a Lincoln. It is
for this reason that childhood is
sacred. And the same is true of
new-born truths. Anyone of them
may aid and make possible prac-
tical advances like those usherec
into the world by the invention
of the steam engine, the electric
light, the trolley car and the new
methods in agriculutre, in the
affairs of government and social
service.
Nation-Wide Interest In Better
Babies Movement.
“Now that the Better Babies
Movement has become nation-wid<
in scope and interest,” says Jes-
sie P. Rich, of the Home Welfare
Dpartement of the University of
Texas, “the task of educating
the mothers of the country as to
the true significance of the move-
ment becomes necessary.
To many who have not under-
stood this significance, the Better
Babies Conventions have held no
appeal. The significance of the
movement is that the nation has
become awakened to the necessi-
ty of applying scientific methods
to the rearing of its children. It
means that thousands of mothers
who have not had the advantage
of a technical education in the
care of infants will be given in-
struction in the essential phases
of child care, and taught how to
correct deficiencies or abnormal-
ities in their children. It means
that children need no longer be
subordinated to animals in impor-
tance ; that in the future as much
time will be devoted to the devel-
oping of perfect children as to
the raising of prize stock. Last-
ly it means that through the ed
ucation of mothers children will
be protected from malevolent con
ditions arising and tolerated by
ignorant of their detrimental ef-
fect on the children.”
Describing the origin of the
movement, Miss Rich continued:
“Mrs. Mary Watts of Audubon
Iowa, is the originator of the Bet-
Germany, more than any other ter Babies Movement. While vis-
JUDGE FRY, REPRESENTA-
TIVE OF JACK AND YOUNG
Introduces Bill in House Provid-
ing That Each County Pay Its
Own Court Costs.
E. W. Fry, representative of
Jack and Young Counties, has in-
troduced a bill in the House
which provides that each County
in the State shall pay its own
court costs. As the law now
stands, all of the criminal court
costs in felony cases, including
sheriffs’ fees, etc., is paid out of
the State Treasury. This means
that a citizen of Jack County pay:
as much of the criminal costs of

apply its results to practical uses.
As a consequence, in a brief half
century, it rose from the position
off a second-rate industrial pow-
er, or even lower to a Chief place
among the nations in industry,
commerce, manufacture, social
organization, and the general dif-
fusion of order and well-being. If
the public men of Texas have the
vision and will support and devel-
op their Universitty into first-
class efficiency for the discovery
and diffusion of knowledge, there
is no reason why the progress hen
should be less rapid—itt way even
be more rapid—than the progress
of the last few decades in Ger-
many.”

broader basis. All phases

the work. In the meet-
the agents have told of
success they have met
their efforts to tinterest
women in conveniences

life on the farm more at-
i for the women. Among
prominent men who have ad-
this school is Dr. Brad-
in charge of the
ition feature of the U.
Department of Agriculture. Mr
B. Flohr, scientific market-
also . addressed the
and discussed the effect
parcels post marketing on farm
ice . The home demonstra-
te** work is being done in thir-
assessed valuation. This is not
fair and right. Counties which
incur no criminal costs and have
very little court should not be
made to pay the costs of counties
which have a great deal of court
and court costs.
It also provides that in districts
composed of more than one coun-
ty, that the pay of the district
judge, district attorney, and oth-
er officers shall be proportioned
to each county in these districts
in proportion to the amount of
court held there.
This law is fair and just and
would work a hardship on no one.
As it now stands, it is working a
hardship on a number of coun-
ties in western Texas.
FIVE DAYS’ CAMPAIGN.
Superintendent of Anti-Saloon
League Announces Dates for
List of Speakers.
Dallas, Jan. 21.—J. H. Gam-
brell, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, has announc-
ed the names of five men who
will make a fviee day campaign ir
Texas in the interest of National
prohibition. The campaign will
begin Feb. 1. The campaigners
are Hon. Malcolm Patterson of
Tennessee, Dr. Howard H. Rus-
sell of Ohio, assistant general su
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League of America; Dr. Louis Al-
bert Banks of Ohio, widely
known minister:
Sam Small
of Georgia, evangelist and co-
worker of the late Sam Jones,
and Dr. George W. Morrow of
Michigan.
iting a stock show at Denver
three years ago, she was impress-
ed with the care and attention
given to the raising of fat stock,
but nowhere could she find space
devoted to the growing of better
children. Imbued with the idea
that children were as important
an asset to the state as thorough-
bred stoek, she hurried home anc
confronted the Iowa legislature
with an appeal for an appropria-
tion of $75,000 to be used for the
erection of a new building on the
Iowa state fair grounds which
should be devoted entirely to the
interests of Better Babies. The
appropriation was granted anc
the following year the first Bet-
ter Babies convention was held.
“Among the mothers who the peanut
brought their babies to he firstt
convention at the Iowa state fair
was a mother who brought a two-
year-old boy. She was confident
that he would eclipse all others;
for were not his eyes of a pret-
tier blue than those of the other
babies, his cheeks a little rosier,
his hair just a shade brighter
gold? But when the physicians
looked into the. child’s mouth, felt
his muscles, thumped his chest,
they shook their heads. That ba-
by had enlarged tonsils, adenoids,
flabby muscles, and a trace of tu-
ebreulosis.
“The physicians explained to
the disappointed mother that the
contest was for health, not beau-
ty, and that the legislature of
Iowa had given the building to
demonstrate to the world that its
citizens could as surely raise bet-
ter babies as they could raise bet-
ter corn, better cattle, better
chickens. These doctors suggest-
ed books for hr to reead, gave
her free leaflets and bulletins.

REMEMBER IE PUCE
ble peanuts on one acre of ground
Of course I understand that this
included both the vines and the
nuts, but my calculations show
that the acre produced 4,256
pounds of peanut hay and 232
bushel of nuts.
This acre of peanuts was plant-
ed by Miss Emma D. Stokes in
club contest of the
Texas Industrial Congress, and
won for her a $300 cash prize, the
capital prize offered by the Con-
gress for this class. The accura-
cy of the statements is as near
beyond question as is possible, for
Yancey Milner, a graduate of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege of Texas, and son of the for
mer president of the college is
demonstration agent for Rusk
County, and he furnished the in-
formation concerning the grow
ing of the crop and the yield,
from which these figures are
made.
“Miss Stokes’ case is notable
for several reasons. In the first
place the yield exceeded the rec-
ord yield heretofore verified by
a man occupying a position simi-
lar to that of Mr. Milner by thir-
ty-two bushels. Then both Miss
Stokes and Mr. Milner state the
stand was perfect, that there were
no blank rows without plants.
This is the place where most peo-
ple who fail to make a success of
raising peanuts have trouble; they
are not careful to plant fertile
seed and see that there are no
breaks, no blank spaces in the
field.
“Another thing of particular in-
terest to Texas farmers at this
time is the fact that this one acre
of peanuts was one-third more
profitable than prize acre of corn
and nearly forty per cent more
profitable than the prize acre of
cotton. It certainly shows a girl
can grow peanuts. Let the men
of the state follow her exam-
ple.”
