teachers must be secured, or the
whole system fails. Many schools
throughout the country do not
hire as efficient teachers as they
should. There are local boys
and girls just out of school
themselves who are given charge
of the schools just to provide
them with a position. As long
as this practice is continued in-
discriminately the school system
will be barren of results. No
President D. J. Neill- of the
Farmers’ Union says: “The
farmer in the northeast is a
painstaking business man, pur-
suing the business of farming for
the money there is in it. His
first and chief concern is to raise
what he consumes at home, and
then his surplus is for sale. They
try to raise the finest horses, the
finest cows, the best hogs, sheep,
goats and chickens. They real-
ize that it costs no more to raise
a first-class animal than it does
the third class. The northeast-
ern farmer regards his barn yard
fertilizer as a part of his capital,
and takes as much care of it as
he would his bank account. He
studies to improve his farm as
the years go by. Land that once
raised eight and ten bushels of
wheat per acre will now produce
thirty-five, and land that would
make fifteen bushels of corn per
acre will now produce 100 to 125.
The orchards and berry patches
are carefully looked after. The
orchards are kept neatly trimmed
and cultivated, yielding the
farmers a handsome return.”

4jj()| teacher should be employed un-
less he has prepared himself for
the profession and intends to fol-
low it. Those who are merely
following teaching for temporary
calling will not give their duties
the same careful consideration as
the ones who are teaching for a
profession. It is wise and proper
to raise the standard of teachers
as high as possible and a good
way to do this is to pay better
salaries for good educators.—
Wills Point Chronicle.
The state should have longer
school terms, better school houses,
improved school equipment and
more efficient teachers. The peo-
ple of Texas desire their children
to have all the educational ad-
vantages possible. There are
thousands of boys and girls
whose parents are unable to send
them to the large universities
and colleges, and who have to
depend upon the public schools
for their education. In justice
to them and in order to give
them an education a nine-months
term should be provided. In
order to build up schools, a
longer term than we are now
No Excuse For Profanity.
There is possibly a show for
profit to the indulgent in every
violation of the divine law, ex-
cept that of the user of profane
language, but he is said to be as
the “fish which bites at a naked
hook.” There is no possible ex-
cuse for profaning the holy name
of the Great Creator, and yet it
is the most common of all sins.
Ladies often indulge in profanity
all unconsciously possibly but all
true just the same, and the habit
grows upon them as it does on
the male population and all with-
out excuse. Such terms as
“Mercy,” “Jehovah” “Gracious
Goodness,” etc. are only polite
words instead of the more ve-
hement expressions used by the
men, all of them are irreverent
and profane. The Leader be-
lieves in respect for the Deity,
and in giving that name the
reverence due to it. The Jews
so sacredly regarded jfche name of
Deity in the olden days that they
never spoke it lightly, and if they
found it written on parchment,
they carefully buried it, that the
holy name might not be defiled.
On this subject the Dallas
News remarks:
“The main excuse for swearing
is that it enables a man with a
limited vocabulary to carry on a
conversation and impress his
as he believes—with
having must be taught, and good
buildings and proper equipment j hearers
must be provided. Efficient the idea that the speaker has de-
lpriee3s)
cided convictions upon the sub-
ject in hand. To interlard one’s
conversation with oaths is as
lacking in good taste as would be
the setting of a newspaper all in
big and ugly type in order to try
to emphasize the editor’s views.”
It might be well to remember
that the use of profanity rather
tends to lower your emphatic de-
clarations than to convince the
hearer of their truth. There is
no excuse for profanity.
Profit in Cow Peas.
Just how many farmers of
Lampasas county use cow peas
in the care of their stock, for hay,
for raising hogs, or for fertilizing
purposes, The Leader has no
way of knowing, but the follow-
ing article is worthy of consider-
ation by any farmer who has, or
is prepared, to fence his land hog
proof. At any rate it will lead
to good throught to study what
others have done with peas sown
broadcast. Read:
“Do cow peas in corn pay? Do
gold mines pay? Well they pay
some people; so do cow peas
sown in the corn at the last work-
ing. Here are the figures given
by J. W. Fox, of the Mississippi
Delta Experiment Station, as the
result of sowing cow peas in corn
and allowing hogs to graze them :
After the corn was gathered,
51 spring pigs were turned into
a pea field of 17 acres. They
had no additional feed, but
gained 2,893 pounds; or each
acre produced 170 pounds of
gain. At 6 cents a pound,
which is the price the pigs were
sold for, each acre of cow peas
was worth for pork making
$10.20. But this is not all, for two
years test of the fertilizer value
of cow peas for cotton growing
have shown that the yield of cot-
ton is increased 110 pounds of
lint per acre by a crop of cow
peas.
In grazing the cow peas prac-
tically all of their fertilizer value
is left on the land. The hogs do
not retain in their bodies more
than 10 per cent of the fertilizer
constituents of the peas. At 9c
per pound the ^increase of 110
pounds of lint is worth $9:90. In
other words, we have $10.70
worth of pork and $9.90 worth of
fertilizer from an acre of cow
peas sowE; in corn when grazed
by hogs after the corn was gath-
ered, or a total value of $20.60
an acre from the cow peas.
Would a gold mine pay? It
would pay^some people, so would
cow peas.—The Starkville (Miss.)

PLANS TO COUNT STARS.
J. Franklin Adams, F. E. A. S.,
has undertaken the gigantic task of
counting the stars and of assigning
to each its proper magnitude. The
counting will be done from photo-
graphs, and plates covering the
whole of the southern hemisphere
have been secured. These number
some 200 and each is 15 inches
square, and records the image of
from 20,000 to 200,000 stars. To
facilitate the counting the plates
will be moved across a graduated
grating in the field of a microscope,
so that the stars may be counted in
strips. _
HOW IT READ.
Charles Buxton Going, poet, ed-
itor, scientific expert and business
man, possible successor of the be-
loved Edmund Clarence Steelman,
en route for Europe, sent a wire-
less message from Nantucket to his
friends in New York. He dictated
it thus:
“'Everything comfortable. Going.”
The New York office delivered it
thus:
'Everything comfortable going.
