NEWS IN BRIEF.
Baltimore, Denver, Chicago,
St. Louis, Boston and Buffalo are
all in the field for the Democratic
National Convention of 1912.
The goverment has begun its
probe of the lumber trust. The
investigations at present will only
affect the organizations of the
midlde W est, South and West.
The socialistic insurrectors in
Mexico are planning the estab-
lishment of the Republic of Lower
California. They hope to be well
established by the time the Mex-
ican government is able to set d
an army against them.
General Reyes is back in Mex-
ico from Europe. He is consider-
ed by many the leading presiden-
tial candidate against Madero.
He said on his arrival that his
first thought was to aid in re-
storing peace in his country.
Japan has decided to add fif-
teen new battleships to their
navy. We do not think the mas-
ses of the people of Japan wan t
war; but rather activety in this
line is due to the pull the ship-
builders have on the government
—just after the big contracts.
Edison, the great electrician,
says the trolly car is going to be
put out of business. This is to
result from a successful storage
battery. When this is accomp-
lished it will also change the
methods of automobile propulsion
and areoplanes as well. A sin-
gle discovery is sometimes far-
reaching in its effect.
Gen. Tom Thumb's ooaoh, giv-
en him by Queen Victoria in 1834,
is to be sold at publio sale in
New York. It is likely to bring
a good price as the relic of the
greatest little dwarf who ever liv-
ed. Tom Thumb's real name
was Charles S. Stratton and he
was only two feet high. He was
born in Bridgeport, Conn., in
1838
Caddo Parish, La., in which
the oity of Shreveport is located,
went dry in the prohibition elec-
tion held June the 1, by a ma-
jority of 49. Prohibition had
been in force there for a year or
perhaps longer. The antis made
a strong fi^htto bring the saloon
back, and reports state that $75.

The Sun Never Sets On

The Commercial Secretaries
Association has been conducting
an investigation into the number
of copies of Texas weekly papers
that circulate outside the state.
There were 428 papers reporting,

The same degree of heat in the

reedeming feature.
The most pressing need in
Mexico now is declared by the
leading papers in the City of
Mtxioo to be the establishment
of a strong recognized govern-
ment at the earliest possible
moment. Many of thenoncom-
batants in the recent successful
revolution seems to believe that
the present situation authorizes
undue license, the end of actual
hostilities being followed by rest-
lessness and disorder in the smal-
ler towns and cities.
On May 17,3000 short measure
bushel baskets were publicly
burned in Brookln, New York.
The baskets were mostly the
property of farmers who wend
their way daily to that market,
and was gathered up by the in-
spectors. The farmers are not
alone in this cheating in weights
and measures, for it exists in all
classes of trades to some, and
perhaps an amazing, extent. It
is strange that many men must
be made to do by a strictly en-
forced law what they should do
besause it is right.
Both branches of the Arkansas
legislature passed the income tax
amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution, but the governor voted
the resolution. Now arises the
perplexing question of the right
of the governor to do so. If he
has the right it places the power
of obstructing a national law in
the hands of an individual; on
the other hand the governor
claims that the Constitution of
Arkansas requires him to sign
or disapprove all bills and reso-
lutions. Five more state9 must
ratify the amendment to make it
a part of the constitution.
"I read the ads," was the
statement of a Denton lady. "I
get as much general news from
them nearly as I do the reading
columns. They are both inter-
esting: from a news point, and
from an economical point alone
they are well worth reading care-
fully, for many times I find ex-
actly what I want offered at a re-
duction in price. Besides the
actual saving in money there is
a great saving in time. If I see
the artiole I want advertised I
know where to go for it and do
not have to hunt all over town.—

Sure! There is both profit and
pleasure in reading ads. Just

spent.

bors in other States to give the

With a quarter of a million of
copies of the Texas press singing
the praises of Ttxas in every
clime and country, we are able
to account for the marvelous in-
flux of men and women and mon-
ey moving into our State. There
in no more effective way of ad-
vertising Texas than for our cit-
izens to subscribe for the local
paper and have it mailed to
friends outside the State and no
better services can be rendered
non-residents than by giving
them an opportunity of learning
about Texas through the columns
of our newspapers.
Shallow and Frequent
Cultivation.
Dallas, Texas, June, 3.—Cor-
respondents of the Texas Indus-
trial Congress who are following
its instructions in contesting for
the $10,000 cash prizes, for the
best yields of corn and cotton,
report excellent results from
shallow cultivation of their crops
and the maintenance of a dust
mulch to prevent evaporation of
the moisture in the ground. Shal-
low cultivation every four or
fixe days, keep down the weeds,
and saves the fertilizing elements
of the soil for the growing crop
and at the same time keep the
ground from crusting. Many
farmers who are practicing these
simple but effective methods say
their corn and cotton are fresh
and green while their neighbors'
crops are burning up, which em-
phasizes the fact that the dryer
the weather conditions the great-
er is the necessity for continous
shallow cultivation.

Beaty of Denton has been elect-
ed teacher of mathematics in the

Getting Something for
Nothing.
An inordinate desire to
eomething for nothirg leads
greed in business and unless
1 strained sometimes results
j crime, but every property owner
can get something for nothing in
! a perfectly legitimate way by
| joining in the crusade for im-
proving Hnd extending our
transportation facilities.
Improving public highways
adds three times their cost to con-
tiguous lands; building new
railroads adds $64,000 per mile
; to adjoining property and im-
proving waterways increases
property values. Improving
public highways and building
railraods is the only honest way
of getting something for nothing,
and the property owners of Texas
can get rich by improving and
increasing their transportation
facilities.
To Christian Ministers
In less than sixty days tha
people of Texas will determine
by popular vote whether or not
intoxicating liquors shall be sold
in this state. Advices from
nearly all sections are encour-
aging, and the only menace to
our success in driving out the
saloons from Texas is the possi-
bility of prohibitionists in the
various counties and precincts
failing to realize that every vote
oounts. If all do their duty the
the result can only be in our fa-
vor.
While many prominent and
able speakers are doing, and
will do, splendid service in the
field, in the nature of things in a
great state like Texas, some
parts of the vineyard will be
neglected unless they receive
attention by local workers. I
urge upon you the necessity of
getting in touch with the local
organization in every county and
looal prohibitionists where no
organization has been perfected
giving all the time you possibly
can until election day to speak-
ing and working yourself for the
Kreat cause of statewide prohi-
bition and inducing the citizens
locally in your community to al-
80 speak and zealously work for
the cause. Everywhere there
are good men who can intelli-
gently and effectively present
the issue and if the ministers and
local speakers will see that ev-
ery precinct is properly aroused
to action victory will crown our
efforts upon the 22nd of July.

ferent states.—Farm and Ranch
