Under date of June 19th laat year
At Ardaore Statesman, of Ardmore,
Oklahoma, pnMiahed the following ed-
"The Redpatb-Horner Chautauqua.
Which appeared In thia city laat week,
!■ worthy, the Stateanun thinks, of ed-
Hartal i-ommendation. The writer waa
■at able to attend all of the numbers
ll the couree, but eome member of (be
etaff of thia paper did, and we gire it
aa an unequivocal verdict, 'there waa;
not a dull feature in tbe entire week's'
program.' To diacuaa tbe featurea in
detail would requite more apace than
can be given to thia comment, but to!
oar readera who may reside in terri-1
tory yet to be vlaited on the Company's1
circuit, we beg to give assurance that
they bare a treat in store. It differ*
from many aimllar Institutions in that
It doea not 'put it'a best foot foremost*:
or, in other words, the attractlona in-
creased In merit aa the program of the
week programed, and those of the laat
two days were easily the liest present -
ed. We recognise that editorial com-
ment of thia character is unusual, hut;
we have no apology to make for It.
The Chautauqua was of such high or-
der of merit that we deem It due to our
readers In distant states (of whom we
have a goodly number) to advise them
that if thia particular Chautauqua,
agregation contemplates visiting them,
they will make a regretahle mistake if
they mias a single number in the week's
entertainment."
Tbe Hertford Chautauqua of 1011)
fully measured up to tbe v of:
praise from Ardmore. Cb'<;t. ¥. . N.juar
writes that the 1{U0 Chautauqua is
even better—the best In his fourteen J
years of experience.
The Hereford Chautauqua Itegins!
next Monday and lasts all week. |<o-!

EATING ONE'S CAKE
1«oug ago the observation was tuadc
that ■ me cannot ent his cake and have
It too. Neither time nor circumstance*
has diminished in one whit the truth-
fulness and significance of its import.
If one spends more than lie makes,
there is nothing left. H|ieiiding, un-
cnrlKsl and undirected, will eat away
the cake of savings, and raiatciously
devour the contents of the |iay envelope.
Most dollars spent now pay for sixty
cents value or. stated in another way.
articles that cost a dollar three or four
years ago now cost $1.40. Tilings move
In cycles. Within three, four or Ave
years from now. the purchasing power,
of the dollar will have again risen.'
The question everyone should decide
for himself when It comes to spending,
is whether the article which will cost j
him 91.44) now or only a dollar live
years from now. is worth it. Spent to-
day that dollar has only a sixty cent
purchasing power; saved and spent
live years from now it will have a hun-
dred cent purchasing power, and the
owner will have the interest it has
made for him if lie hns wisely invested
It in War Savings Stamp* for instance.
Tbe wheat grower need hare no ap-
urabainrton aa ta tbe aapplg of Mfcder
twine thia aeaaen. Beporta wing to
the Bureau of i'lant Induatry, of tbe
United Stntee Department of Agricul-
ture, Indicate thai here wtti be a plent-
fill supply of thia comnmditr available
fbr tbe American termer. Not only wH
It lie plentiful, but it ia likely to be
cheaper thia year than for some years
past.
YucatanAtbe chief and cheapest
source of benequen, from which tbe
twine ia made—produced a large crop
tbis year; which, coupled with the
termination of control of prices by the
Commiaaion Reguladora, waa reepona-
ihle for a drop in the price of fiber from
1.1 to 10 cents a Round in March. The
price is now reported to be 8 cents a
pound. This reduction should lie re-
flected in tbe price of twine this season.
Thus far tin* recent revolution In
Mexico has affected the henequia
Industry of Yncafan and Campeche. the
two Important liber-growing States of
that country. It is too late uow for auy
disruption of this industry to affect
seriously the supplies of twipe for this
year's harvest, as practically all the
fiber necessary for the present needs
has already beeu imported to the Unit-
ed States.
Although there Is no danger for this
year's twine supply, officials of tbe De-
imrtiuent of Agriculture are somewhat
apprehensive over the effect that the
low pricee for fiber prevailing now will
have upon tbe production of benequen
during the next few years. Ls>w prices,
according to reports to the Department,
are leading the growers in Yucatan to
reduce their planting, with the result
that a real shortage of the fiber five or
six years hence is a very likely possi-
bility.

Clean Cora •
The cleaning and disinfection of rail
road stis*k cars is an important means
of preventing the spread of infections
diseases of live stock. In conuectioa
{with Federal control over tbe inter-
state transportation of live stock, ad-
ministered by the Bureau of Animal
Induatry, it is required that all such
car* or other vehicles which have con-
tallied animals affected with a commun-
icable disease, such as tick fever, scab-
ies of sheep and cuttle, hoc cholera,
etc., he cleaned and disinfected under
bureau suiiervUiou before oeutg ukiuu

requiring that cars must he cleaned and

An idea of the magnitude of this
work may he gathered from the fact
that during the fiscal year ended June
.'10, 1010, bureau employees personally
supervised tbe disinfection of 44,843
cars. In addition, a large number of
motor trucks were handled in the same
manner.
