fowls. It is time to be getting
the birds in fit condition for ex-
hibition. This event is one of
the features of the autumn sea-
son and attracts attention of
poultry raisers all over this part
of the state, and some fowls have
been shipped here from distant
parts of the state for exhibition
purposes. A commendable feat-
ure of the show is that the prizes
are strictly cash. This is a.pre-

have adopted the custom. This
is a part of the state that is pe-
culiarly adapted to the raising of
fine poultry, combi.ling size of.
range with good climate and a
| i rocky, lime-impregnated soil.
|> j The raising of poultry for market
f | has made Lampasas famous all
over the state. There is nothing
so conducive to the breeding of
the better grade of poultry than
the fall show. These shows
have done much in the past to
improve the grade of poultry
raised and will do much more in
the future. The people of the
country should be especially in-
terested in this coming poultry
show here, whether they have
birds to exhibt or not. If they
have fine fowls, they should by
all means come and enter them
for exhibition. If they have not,
but are interested in the breeding
of poultry, they should come and
learn what the leading poultry
raisers of west Texas are doing.

The supreme lodge, Knights
of Pythias in New Orleans has
put up the bar against the liquor
business. With the exception of
wholesale liquor dealers and hotel
proprietors who maintain a bar,
all professional gamblers, saloon
keepers, bar tenders or dealers

liquors were already ' excluded.
These two excepted classes were
also barred from membership in
the last meeting of the supreme
lodge.
The various racing events at
the Dallas fair have attracted
some of the fastest animals in
the South and all the races have
been worth seeing. The per-
centage of harness races to run-
ning races has shown about the
estimate that the general public
places on the two kinds of sport.
But the future of horse breeding
is not so much in the runner,
particularlyun the short distance
horse, but in the standard bred
trotter and pacer. The runner is
a high strung, nervous creature,
fit for little else but the track,
and only in the long-winded,
distance running thoroughbreds
are there the qualities which are
most sought after by breeders of
all purpose horses. But the har-
ly, more

poses than the runner, and

The attention of the voters is
again called to the proposed
amendment to the state constitu-
tion which provides for the ex-
emption from taxation of “the
endowment funds of such insti-
tutions of learning and religion
not used with a view to profit and
when the same are invested in
bonds or mortgages or in land
or other property which has been
and shall hereafter be bought in
by such institutions under fore-
closure sales made to satisfy or
protect such bonds or mortgages:
that such exemption of such
land and property shall continue
only for two years after the pur-
chase of the same at such sale
by such institutions and no long-
er.’’jjjThis amendment was passed
unanimously by both houses of
the state legislature at their last
session. There is no question
about its merit. The only danger
is that the people will not suffic-
iently appreciate its merits or
will be indifferent in regard to
its passage. All those who are
in any way interested in the va-
rious church schools of the state
should strongly support this
amendment. All church schools,
owing to the large number cf
beneficiaries, %nd the high grade
of instruction and the insufficient
endowment, are in a precarious
financial state the better part of
the time. Anything of the na-
ture of this amendment that will
tend to alleviate their burdens is
commendable and deserves the
support all public spirited people.
