HOT TOO LATE TO START
YARD BEAUTIFICATION
College Station. -March is
not too late to start making a
beautiful lawn, according to
the records of 1932 home
demonstration club women
snd girls who made this im-
provement in their farm yards
last year. Plowing, manuring,
levelling and watering are the
necessary steps before trans-
planting bermuda or other
grass roots, say Extension
Service authorities at Texaa A.
and 11. College. They point
out, however, that drawing a
complete landscaping plan
should be the first step in any
yard improvement in order
that a harmonious effect may
>be produced, and nothing done
that will later have to be done
over. Often it is neceasary to
remove some of the trees and
shrubs and flower beds which
'sometimes dot a yard because
the beauty of a lawn depends
on an unbroken expanse
grass.
Yards were beautified by
6850 women and girts in
home demonstration clubs in
Texas in 1982, according to
reports of county home dem-
onstration agents. Chief among
the improvements were lawns,
doorsteps and foundation
plantings, screen and border
plantings, and the making of
rose gardens. Improvements
cost an average of 31.13 per
yard.
Montague.—Killing, cutting
and curing meat the “A. t M.
way” 140 fanners in Montague
county had slaughtered 330
hogs by January 1st and no
reports of spoilage had been
made by County Agent E. C.
Jameson who directed them in
this work. Heretofore, Mr.
Jameson states, it was com-
monly thought in the county
that a tanner could expect to
lose from a third to a half of
his meat each season. Forty
farmers have slaughtered 86
beeves under the direction of
the county agent, most of the
meat was canned but some was
put on cold storage where that
was available and economical.
ASSASSINATION . of Rulers
Three Presidents of the
United States have died at the
hands of assassins. One ex-
President, Theodore Roosevelt,
was shot but not seriously in-
jured, when he was a candi-
date for a third term. It was
only accidental that the assas-
sin who fired at President-elect
' Franklin Roosevelt missed him
j and hit Mayor '"'".rmak of Chi-
cago and four others instead.
Assassination is a risk which
[every head of a nation con-
i stantly faces. The President
of France was killed less than
a year ago. President Obre-
gon of Mexico was assassinated
0f in 1928. King George of
Greece, Prince Ito of Japan,
President Madera of Mexico,
King Humbert of Italy, are
only a few of the national
rulers who have died at the
hands of assassins in recent
years.
There is no effective way to
protect rulers from the irre
sponsible attacks of lunatics.
A president or a king must
show himself to his people. In
this country a guard of secret
service men always travels
with the President and with
the President-elect, but even
their precautions sometimes
fail. The President of the
United States literally takes
his life in his hands when he
a figure which I recognized as
that of President Garfield, and
bending over him was the
familiar figure of James G.
Blaine, Secretary of State.
Geneial Garfield died two
months later. Medical and
surgical science was still crude
fifty years ago. There is little
doubt that if doctors had
known then what they know
cow he would have recovered.
accepts that high office.
EYEWITNESS ......of Two
I happened to be president
at the shooting of two Presi-
dents, Garfield and McKinley.
I doubt if there is another per-
son living of whom that is true.
As a small boy in Washington
I was passing the old Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad
station on July 2, 1881, and
went into the station to get a
drink of water. As I entered
the waiting- room men and
women were screaming and
rushing in every direction. I
wormed my way through the
crowd, boylike, and saw one
of the station guards strag-
gling with a bearded man.

LUNATICS.....with Guns
There is no doubt that
Guiteau. who shot Garfield,
like Wilkes Booth, who killed
Lincoln, and Leon Czolgoscz,
the assassin o'f McKinley, was
insane.
As a newspaper reporter
"covering” the Pan-American
Exposition in Buffalo, I was in
the Temple iff Music when Mc-
Kinley was shot on September
6, 1961. The murderer had
wrapped a handkerchief
around his right hand to make
it look os if it had been in-
jured, but the bandage con-
cealed p. revolver. Only those
closest to the President heard
the shots or realized for a few
minutea what had happened. I
was present when the Buffalo
police i lestioned him. If ever
there w is a lunatic Czolgoscz
was on . And apparently,
Zangara, who shot at Franklin
Roosevelt, is likewise not quite
sane.
As a result of the shooting
of President McKinley
stringent laws were’ passed
providing the death penalty
lor even threatening the life
of the President.

FLORIDA......Canal Plan
Among all the projects for
public improvements to he fi-
nanced by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation I cannot
think of any that would do so
much good as the plan to
excavate a sea-level ship canal
across the neck of the Florida
Peninsula, connecting the Gulf
of Mexico directly with the
Atlantic Ocean. R would give
immediate employment to tens
of thousands. It would benefit
everybody in the United States,
from Texas east, by shortening
the time and reducing the cost
of transportation of commodi-
ties between the Gulf states
and the wealthy North At-
lantic seaboard. It would pay
for itself through-tolls charged
for the use of the canal by
ships.
I hear from Florida friends
that the railroads of Florida
are opposing this project. That
seems to me like pretty small
business, but it is quite char-
acteristic. The widespread
and growing demand for a
complete reorganization of the
railroad systems of the United
States arises largely from just
an arrogant and selfish atti-
tude on the part of railroad
managements in almost every
part of the country.

RADIO . . World wide Report
We hate got so accustomed
to radio broadcasting that to
most of us it hardly seems like
a miracle. But I cannot es-
cape the feeling that the
world entered a new era on
February 17th when the
League of Nations broadcasted
to the world its report refusing
to recognize Japan’s rights in
Manchuria.
Two powerful short wave
stations at Geneva sent this
fifteen thousand word message
in Morse Code around the
world for anybody and every-
body to pick up. It took ten
hours to transmit the entire re-
port, but every word of it was
picked up by the New York
Times and it was published in
full on the following morning.
Within less than twenty-four
hours every newspaper in the
world was able to inform its
readers that the combined na-
tions of the world would op-
pose Japanese aggression in
China.
It was the most impressive
gesture the League of Nations
has ever made. And my guess
is that it will accomplish its
purpose.
Let me dram your crank-
case and refill your car with

Following beef butchering
demonstrations in Fisher coun-
