Dimmitt High School Cloeet.
Dimmiit, May 25.—'The Dimmitt
High School closed its commence-
meet exercises last night, Friday, at
the Union Church which was filled
to overflowing to hear the gradua-
tion program and to see the class of
1912 receive their diplomas. A
splendid program by local talent
was given, the program consistiag of
vocal and instrumental music. The
address was made by A. C. Elliott,
editor of the Hereford Brand, who
was allied upon at the last hour to
fill the place of Pres. R. B. Cousins,
president of the Canyon Normal,
who could not meet the engagement.
Mr. Elliott arrived just' in time
from Hereford by auto to take part
in the exercises. He was introduced
by the lady superintendent, Miss
Millicent Griffith, in well chosen
word, and he began at once with his
remarks, speaking without notes or
manuscript. He complimented Dim-
mitt upon this successful school and
gave to the class of five young peo-
ple some encouraging suggestions.
At the close of the program, Mr.
Harvey Cash, for the trustees, in a
very pleasing manner delivered the
diplomas to the members of the
class, which consisted of two young
men and three young ladies : Ulric
Clifton, Louis Boyd, Willie Boyd,
Nellie Turner and Luna Turner.
After the benediction, many came up
to congratulate the class and the
superintendent and teachers for their
splendid work in the school. They
expressed their confidence in the
teachers and otherwise showed that
they appreciated their efforts for
the pupils.
The commencement sermon was
preached at the church on last Sun-
day by Rev. O. W. Dean of Tulia,
who formerly held a pastorate at
Hereford. This closes the third
year of the Dimmitt school under
the management of Mi*.*, O'ffith,
and it is the general opinion that the
school has never been better organiz-
ed nor the work more proficiently
done than under her careful super-
vision. As a compliment, the entire
faculty were offered their places
again for another year.

Simmons' Liter Purifier is the
most valuable remedy I ever tried
for constipation and disordered liver.
It does its work thoroughly, but does
not gripe like most —nedies of its
character. I certaiuy recommend
it whenever the opportunity occurs.

Green Valley Ranch.
One of the largest of the big cat
tie ranches yet remaining intact in
this section of the Panhandle is the
Green Valley Ranch owned by Chas.
E. Harding of Chicago. The ranch
is located beginning about 7 miles
east of Hereford and extends along
the Tierra Blanca river for a dis-
tance of 9 miles, taking in 32 sec
tions of land, that is 20,480 acres.
On this ranch may be found at most
any time 2,000 or more head of fine
Hereford cattle. In the spring and
summer, the number is augmented
by the presence of 1,500 or more
fine, young calves. Last season this
ranch sold on the market something
like $12,000 00 worth of calves.
Besides cattle raising, the ranch
raises mules and horses and recently
shipped 2 cars of horses an.t ooe car
of mules at good prices. But grazing
is not all the source of revenue trom
the ranch. A feed farm of 1,030
acres is regularly cultivated, the
feed stuff being given the stock as
occasion of the winter weather de-
mands, but often no feeding is done
and the stack* remain untouched.

XXXIII. PATRIOTISM.
V| URING a famine the Roman government commissioned
fH Pompey to procure food from foreign countries and when
the expedition was confronted by an angry sea and he
was urged to delay in order to avoid danger, he replied, "It ia not
necessary that I live, but it is necessary that I go," and he went.
The human race moves forward only when it has great men to
meet the emergencies of civilization and a citizenship that ap-
plauds ttlf-sacrifice in leadership.
T52F PATRIOTISM OF POMPET.
— - * \
Let those who would make their names ring across continents
and reverberate through the corridors of time, brave the perils
of civilization and sacrifice their lives to succor humanity and
preserve the resources of their country.
It is better to wear a diadem of good deeds than to don the
purple of authority, and more noble to contribute a life toward the
prosperity of one's country than to spill blood on the field of
battle. Texas Needs Great Men.
of irrigation has been so common,
the owner of this ranch has decided
to test out the matter in his own
way. A small well of some 250
gallons capacity will be put in and a
small patch of alfalfa tried. If this
proves satisfactory, several hundred
acres of the fine valley land will be
put under alfalfa, the needed water
to be supplied from big pumps. The
contract for the first well has been
let to Luther Hough of the Here-
ford Hardware Company. Work
will begin at once.
With the open range for cattle,
horses and mules, the feed farm of a
1,000 acres, and as many more
acres in alfalfa under irrigation, the
Green Valley Ranch will be the ideal
of the Panhandle. Mr. Harding is
to be congratulated in being the
owner of such a fine opportunity that
this ranch affords.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a vege-
table substitute for calomel that
starts the liver to*work just as suc-
cessfully as calomel does, and hun-
dreds of persons have stopped using
the powerful drug calomel to ute
Dodson's Liver Tone, mild vegetable
liquid, instead. Calomel often
shakes up the liver too much, and
brings on bad after-effects and some-
times salivation—a terrible condi-
tion.
Betts-Clark drug store sells Dod-
son's Liver Tone at fifty cents per
large bottle, and guaranteec it to be
harmless to both children and grown-
ups. Remember this guarantee and
try a bottle, next time your llvei*
gets lazy.
