Hereford, the meeting will adjourn.

the hands of the invaders and the
French, so jubilant over their vic-
tories in Alcase-Loraine, have re-
treated to their own lines and fortifi-
ed positions along the French bor-
ders.
The French Ministry has resigned
and new cabinet has been formed
with Premier Viviana at the head.
In Belgium, where the heavy
fighting ia being done, the dispatches
state that the road between Malines
and Vilvoorden is littered with the
bodies of dead men, and the cattle
in the fields are being killed by the
shells.
Youag Texan Takes High Degrees.
Ellsworth E. Faris, son of Or.
and Mrs. Faris, has just finished a
rigid examination for the degree of
Doctor of Philosphy at Chicago
University receiving the highest
mark—"magna cum laude." Id a
few days the degree of Ph. D. will
be conferred upon the young Texan
and right well will he carry the
honors. When but fourteen years
of age, Ellsworth Faris graduated
from the high school at Weather-
ford, Texas; at the age of sixteen
he graduated from the Abilene high
school, where a higher course had
been added. At the age of twenty,
he graduated with honors from
Texas Christian University, then
located at Thorp Springs, Texas,
and later received his A. M. from
that institution when at Waco, Tex.
Each time he was graduated, he was
the honor pupil and represented bis
class in the public exercises as such.
And now he takes the highest degree
from the greatest school in America
with honors. It was this bright
young Texan who spent seven years
of his life on the Congo in Central
Africa as a missionary for the Chris-
tian church. He was located but a
few steps from the equator at that
point where the Congo crosses the
line. While there he reduced to a
in attendance forty-eight messen-
gers and visitors all of whom have
taken an active interest in the work
of the Association and much good
will be the result.
Brother John Rowan, of Canyon
was re-elected moderator of the As-
sociation and presided at all of the
sessions. Rev. R. E. L. Farmer, of
Hereford, was elected church clerk.
The Executive Board will meet
this morning and re-elect Rev. J. T.
Burnett, general missionary for the
Associotion, and two assistants will
likely be elected.
Hereford was chosen for the meet-
ing place of the Association next
year.—Tulia Enterprise.
One too Many.
A street car in charge of a newly-
appointed Irish conductor hid just
left the car barn for the downtown
run. Before it had proceeded man-
y blocks it was boarded by an in-
spector, says Harper's Weekly.
This official, after a glance at the
register and the occupants of the
car, asked, in surprise : ' 'Why, 0'-
Flaherty, how's this? You have sev-
en passengers, and the register
shows but six fares rung up !"
"Begorra, is that so? puzzled the
green conductor. Then instantly a
happy solution of the difficulty
struck him. "Git out o' here, wan j
o* yes!" he shouted. "There's!
wan too many o' yez on this car!" !
Boy Crushed Under Wagon Wheel.
The eight year old son of W. G j
Wyer of Big Square was seriously
hurt yesterday afternoon when a
heavily loaded wagon passed over
bis body, the wheel striking him
across the shoulder*. It seems that
in falling from the wagon, the lad
struck the ground face downwards*
and before he could turn himself out
of the way of the wheel, he was
! caught. He was brought back to
written language the then spoken i Hereford as quickly as possible and ,

THE CAVK MAR'S HOUR
The nations have been armed for war for lo these many years;
Been armed to fill the world with gnef. drench it with widow's
tears;
Armed to leave children helpless and to leave farms unfilled .
Armed to strike down earth's bravest, best, and leave them
maimed and killed;
And he who kills the most, and leads the most men down te die
Will be exalted o'er by his kind . and the world bye-and-bye —
Will do him homage, sing his praise, and build him monuments —
The world is so stark staring mad and has so little sense
Ask any man. of all the men. who bare the willing breast.
If war or peace is best, ami they will a swer "Peac e is best "
Seek out each monarch on his throne, and ask of him to say,
And he will say that peace is best, that men were not meant
to slay .
The children playing by the step, the mother in the door.
The father coming from his toil when the long day is o'er,
The happiness about the fire, these arc worth more than all
The medals won by those who hark to the war trumpet's
calls.
One man says he will call a strike against the thing called war '
Pray God that he may win the goal that he is striving for !
Pray God all men in every land waken in surprise.
With the war glare which blinded them quite faded from their
eyes.
And turn deaf ears to trumpet calls and to the rousing drum .
And ]ust the reaper's busy whir and just the spindle's hum.
Will call to them all, and wives and children will be glad ;
And all earth's splendid men will laugh that thsy had been so
mad.
The cave man, murder in his eyes, shall creep back to his den
With his small brain and fang-ed ;aks. and peace shall come
again ,
And peace snail roil the stone whit h shall close up that foul len's
mouth.
And peace shall be from East to West and be from North to
South.
And men shall lift their cnildren up and cheer their frightened
wives.
And heed no call that calls them out to take their fellows lives
God give us such a world-wide strike that peace shall reign between
All men. Fur that God gave His Son, the Gentle Na^arene.
Shall but one man speak up for peace? Shall all be for the reek
Of war and men ground in the dust, then let the women speak !
Then let the women have a say ' The women of tho earth !
The women—mothers—who gave men that make these armies
birth •
And let the little children speak, the curls, the babes of many
lands '
Needs the old world more orphans ; More hearts upor. the|ra< k ?
Good speed a world-wide sanity to drive the cave man back '

Bouse Boras.
Last Saturday the house m West
Hereford occupied by Mr. Skidmore
and family was destroyed by fire.
It seems that the oil stove upon
which some boiliog was being done
"flared" up and set fire to the house,
tho the exsct cause is not knowo.
Mrs. Skidmore was in the yard and
knew nothing of the fire until her
neighbors called her. She ran into
the burning house and rescued her
baby while the neighbors attempted
to save some of the furniture. Little
was saved. The department re-
sponded quickly, but t he house was
practically all burned.
