WHEAT HARVEST ON.
In Grain Sections of Collin and Gray-
son Counties.
W. R. Hinton of Princeton was in
McKinney Thursday evening en route
home from a trip to several points
in Forth and northwest Collin and
through the southern portion of
Grayson county. He reports seeing
several crops of wheat in the shock
and that the grain crop is good. For
a number of years Mr. Hinton mer-
chandised at Weston, and it is not
unlikely that he may again soon
embark in business. However, he
has not yet definitely settled upon a
location.

The Old Joke About “Something
Just as Good,” Doesn't Apply
to This Drug Store.
You have probably heard dozens
of times the old story that a drug
store fas the place to “get some-
thing Just as good.’’ There is at
least one druggist in the world that
you can’t say this about.
It is certain that an inferior ar-
ticle will never be substituted for a
guaranteed one by Smith Drug Com-
pany. Take for instance a safe, re-
liable remedy for constipation and
liver trouble like Dodson’s Liver
Tone. This harmless vegetable li-
quid has proved so satisfactory a
liver stimulant and reliever of bil-
iousness, and to entirely take the
place of calomel without any danger
or restriction of habits or diet, that
there are dozens of preparations
springing up with Imitations of Its
claims.
But Dodson’s Liver Tone is guar-
anteed to do all that Is claimed for
it, and if you are not satisfied with
it, Smith Drug oCmpany will hand
your money back with a smile. Any
person going to this store for a bot-
tle of Dodson's Liver Ton© will be
sure cf getting a large bottle of this
genuine remedy in exchange for his
half dollar.

HOW TO DESTROY
In view of the fact that grasshop-
pers have shown up and are doing
considerable damage to crors in
various sections of the state. »♦ might
not be amiss for the farmers of this
section to learn of some of tlui meth-
ods of destroying these pests There-
fore, we are here reproducing a bul-
letin Issued by Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, Ed. R. Kone, as follows
It is cugg^sted that one way to do
is to put straw along the fence row
and in the evening wrhen the hoppers
go there to roost or travel form
field to field fire these traps and de-
stroy the pests by burning.
Another method of destruction is
to bait them with poison mixed as
fellows:
BAIT NO. I.
Wheat bran............40 lbs.
Arsenic or Paris green .. 3 to 5 lbs.
Sorghum molasses........2 gal.
Water.............About 2 gal.
Mix well and apply in rows along
the line of advance, preferably aloug
the fence close to weeds where they
are hiding. The mixture can be
stiewn in a continuous row or in
balls every ten feet.
BAIT NUMBER 2.
Paris green or arsenic......1 lb.
Freeh horse manure.. 30 to 4C lbs.
Salt..................2 lbs.
Water to moisten.
Mix well and apply as Balt No. 1.
It is best to place these baits out
late in the afternoon so as to pre-
vent drying out, and at the same
time have it ready when the Insects
are hungry.
It must be remembered that the
above poisons should not be used
where chickens or stock have access
to fields.
Bait No. 2 (Griddle Mixture) is by
far better than No. 1 on account of
its cheapness and less danger of
poisoning birds and other animals.
Very often valuable fruit is de-
stroyed by the insects climbing to
the top of the trees and feeding up-
on the fruit. This can be easily pre-
vented by surrounding the trunk of
the tree by a tix-inch bund of
smooth tin, or by wrapping the
trunk with cotton batting or a strip
of paper containing coal tar or
tangle foot.
The department urges the co-
eration of all farmers In the destruc-
tion of these injurious insects.

In a recent Issue of the Dallas
News, the following open letter ap-
peared.
Referring to your editorial In Sun-
day’s News quoting part of a circu-
lar letter issued by the executive
committee of the Alumni Associa-
tion, calling attention to the fact
that we had not taken any stand
v/ith reference to S. J.* R. 18, beg to
advise you that on May 6 a meeting
of the Alumni Association was held
at College Station and passed a reso-
lution opposing the amendment,
and the president of the association
was instructed to appoint a commu-
te of five to manage this campaign.

aud employed a well-known legisla-
tor to fight this amendment. I wish
to state that we have not raised any
moneys whatever, nor have we em-
ployed any one to conduct this cam-
paign for us. It is to be hoped,
however, that at the election every
loyal A. & M. man will not only vote
agalDst tho amendment, but work
for its defeat. It is a pity that our
ex-students are not well organized
and do net take mere interest in po-
litical matters. We have always been
on the defensive. Last winter when
the consolidation was the chief topic
in educational matters, you would
have your readers believe, by our in-
activity, that we were not opposed
to the consolidation. However, at
the crucial time we defeated the best
oiganized and best arranged plan to
pass a measure through the Legisla-
ture that >vas ever attempted in Tex-
as.
The ex-students of the A. & M.
are not the only ones who will op-
pose this measure. When the tax-
payer studies it he will vote against
It. as no measure so radical has ever
been put up to the people since the
days of the Carpet Bag rule In Tex-
as
On the ballot S. J. R. 18 will be
known as Pecs. 49 and 52 of Art. 3.
and It authorizes several proposi-
tions as follows:
1. It authorizes the State official*
to create debts against the State to
supply deficiencies from $200,000 to

dies for the favored few.
2. The Legislature Is given pow-
er to authorize the issuance of bonds
for the erection of an A. & M. Col-
lege, moaira! department and in-
dustrial school in connection with
the university at Austin.
3. The Legislature may issue
bonds for the construction of nec-
ersary buildings at other State insti-
tutions.
4. The Legislature may issue

SUFFERED TWENTY-ONE
YEARS-FINALLY FOUND
RELIEF
Having suffered for twonty-one
years with a pain in my side, I final-
ly have found relief in Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root. The. physicians called
it “Mother’s Pain” and injections of
morphine were my only relief for
short periods of time. I became
so sick that I had to undergo a sur-
gical operation in New Orleans,
which teneflted me for two years.
When the same pain came back one
day I was so sick that I gave up
hopes of living. A friend advised me
to try Swamp-Root and I at once
commenced using it. The first bottle
old me so much good that I pur-
chased two more bottles. I am now
on my second bottle and am feeling
like a new woman. I passed a grav-
el stone as large as a big red bean
and several small ones. I have not
had the least feeling of pain since
taking your Swamp-Root and I feel
it my duty to recommend this great
medicine to all suffering humanity.
Gratefully yours,
