Thfc statement that our local
opitico laws are in any way invol-
ved is not true. If the state-wide
amendment fails oi adoption, our
preseit liquor laws will not be
in anj manner disturbed. If on
the other hand the amendment
is adapted the legislature will
be called in extraordinary
session in January. 1912. for the
purpose of enacting prohibition
laws in pursuance of the amend-
ment adulated. The laws which
the legislature will adopt, that is
the n^w laws, will not be differ-
ent from those we now have,
knows as our local option laws
but will be of the same kind, in-
tended to accomplish the sin)
thing, made applicable to the
state at large instead of to the
countjj as at present. Any con-
tention therefore that there will
be an^ material difference or
that there will be any uncertain-
Ngard to these new laws, is

It is worse than foolishness for
anyone to contend that we throw

upon untried and dangerous seas

Ruskin end the Champion Bore.
One of the principal clubs in Pail
Mall has the misfortune to be fre-
quented by a gentleman who is by
common consent the greatest bore and
buttouholer in London. Some years
ago this good man, on his return from
his autumn holiday, was telling a 14
his acquaintances at the club that he
bad been occupying a house at the
lakes not far from Mr. Ruskin. who,
be added, tvas in a very melancholy
state.
“I am truly sorry for that,” said one
of his hearers. “What is the matter
with him?”
“Well,” replied the buttonholer, “I
was walking one day in the lane which
separated Ruskin’s house from mine,
and I saw him coming down the lan^
toward me. The moment he caught j
sight of me he darted info a wood
which was close by and hid behind a
tree till I had passed. Oh. very sad
vival to begin at the new Ciirist-
1 ian church in Cumby tomorrow.
Most of our readers know the
Baptists have sold their church
a id are preparing to build one
, up to date. In the meantime
J they were offered and have ae-
1 cepted the u^e of the Christian
ckuieh until the new one is
ready.
A SPLIT LOG DRAG CLUB
A Split Log Drag Club is one
of the latest orgmized move-
ments for road building in Tex-
as.
The territory covered by a
Club usually embraces abiut six
miles of road and the farmers
along the route join the club and
they pay fifty cents membership
dues per month. All the money
received by the club is used iu
defraying the expenses of run-
ning a split log drag over the
road when needed.
The County Commissioners of
Cooke county furnish free of
charge to each club, a split log
drag of steel construction, which
cost $25.00 to build and the club
stands the expense of operation.
Cooke county now has eleven of
these clubs in operation and the
results are so satisfactory that
the movement is rapidly spread-
ing throughout the entire coun-
ty-
The business men of Gaines-
ville assist in the organizations.
It is quite a common occurence
for fifteen or twenty merchants
and baukers to ride ten or fifteen
miles in the country to attend a
split log drag meeting and they
usually join the club, lending
their moral and financial support
to the movement.
The Honey Bee
The honey bee is nature’s factory,
and this family of insects is the only
one which completely manufacture*
and stores a product ready for the
market without the aid of man and the
Ingenuity of the human race has never
been able to imitate its products. S<*>-
completely does it monopolize the man-
ufacture of honey that in all probabil-
ity it operates in direct violation of our
anti-trust laws.
Like the human race, there are many
drones in the colony, but as a whol*
the bee is the highest type of energy^,
thrift, and enterprise in the animal!
kingdom and it leads In intelligence,
foresight and business persistency.

Manhattan Scallop.
A delicious breakfast or luncheon
dish is Manhattan scallop. Shred suf-
ficient cold cooked fish to measure a
good half pint. It must be free froia
skin and bone. Add to it oue cupful
of tine stale breadcrumbs, a good sea-
soning of salt and pepper, two well
beaten eggs mixed with a half cupful
of stowed tomatoes. Turn all into a
buttered dish, sprinkle the top with
buttered breadcrumbs, dot with bits of
butter aud brown in a hot oven.—Sub-
urbanite. .
Sizes of the Planets.
An ingenious way of comparing the
sizes of planets with the sun Is sug-
gested by a French scientific writer.
Let the earth, he says, be represented
by a twenty franc piece; then Venus is
15 francs; lUars. 2; Mercury. 7; Uranus.
280; Neptune, 320; Saturn. 1,840; Ju-
piter, 0,800, and the sun 0,780^000.
They are the most orderly and besffc
governed of any class of animals, no%
excepting the human race. Their meth-
ods of government form the basis ot
the constitution of every civilized na-
tion on the globe, and so perfect is thi*
primitive system of government that
no changes in or additions to their laws
have been necessary since the begin-
ning of creation and they have Fewer
and Better Laws than any other organ-
ized form of animal society. The “spirit
of the hive” is oftentimes more condu-
cive to ’peace and industrial activity
than public sentiment of civic commu-
nities
The Texas Almanac of 1910 estimate*
that we have 600,000 swarms valued at
$9.17 each, making a total value ot
$5,500,000, and last year the output of
honey and wax sold for $3,500,000. This
Is a return of 58 per cent on the In-
vestment. No banker or broker will un-
dertake to compete with them’in divi-
dends and money invested in an apiary
is as safe as in a bank vault. No domes-
tic animal or insect has been able to
approach the honey, bee as a revenua
producer and none can compare with it
in popularity of product.
The climate of Texas permits the Reo
to work 365 days in the year and the
soil produces blossoms, buds and flow-
ers for these little harvesters to reap
the entire year. The natural vegetable
grow th of Texas is rich in honey prod-
ucts and no country on "the globe is
better adapted t>y nature to apicultur*
than Texas. ’ ►_^
