Woodpeckers Running
Hogs to Death
, lnter. TW. Dec, 31. -Woodpeckers
on the farm of Allen
M rtin, ne.".r here, are running
th hogg tc death. Thrjy are not
actually chasing the animals, but
Martin's fears ar well based.
'fir- Several months&go the farmer
' r had a bad case of bronchitis and
jjjt' could, hardly talk above a Whis-
r per, It was m cessary for him to
.' call the hogs to feed and he
finally began to rap upon the
fence with a stick to attract
their attention.
The hogs got use to this and
responded with alacrity. Now,
however, the woodpeckers are
numerous and their continual
hammering attracts them pell
mell from one tree to another,
where, of course, they are
doomed to disappointment. Mar-
tin has kept his hogs in pens
part of the time but when run-
ning loose the birds keep them
going and losing weight.

nine per cent of the people of

ference Jtherefor, even if not

teer enumerators, representing

pared showing the religions pre
ferences of every family in the

tributed among the pastors of

meeting yesterday of the Retail
Merchants' Association of Taylor
it was declared by Secretary
Fred I. Fisher that the sum of

Politics in Milam

this County several years ago,
has announced for County
Treasurer. Indications are that
a number of candidates will be

Swrvey oi River Bottom
Cameron, Tex., Jan. 11.
Septal reorosentattvds of tho
state reclamation department
have been in Cameron about two
weeks making a topographical
survey of Little River and Elm
Creek in this county, for the
purpose of securing data for
prospective leveeing these
streams. Tho Hefley levee on
Little River, which was con-
structed in 1912, was greatly
damaged during the recent over-
flow, and it is the purpose of the
owners of this levee to have it
reconstructed as soon as possible.
In conversation with W. T. Hef-
ley, one of the persons interested
in this levee, he said that when
the levee was rebuilt it will be
constructed on more elaborate
plans, so as to make it a perma-
nent safeguard against any over-
flow that may visit these streams
in the future. ,
These levees withstood the first
overflow in Little River this fall
and saved for the owners of the
lands protected by the levees
more than the amount of the
original cost. The failure of the
levees to hold the laHt flood has
by no means discouraged those
interested in levee building, but,
instead, they are more e ithusi-
astic than they have ever been.
Important To Young' Ken.'
ii
There is one thing that young
men who have become 21 years
old during last year, or who
will reach that age before
the election next fall,
should know, "arid that is that
they are entitled to exemption
certificates that will enable them
to vote the same as if they had
poll taxes. These exemption
certificates cost them nothing
more than the time necessary to
come to the ofiice and apply for
them. If a man has become of
age during the last year or if his
twenty-first birthday comes be-
fore the close of 1914, he is en-
titled to an exemption certificate
free ot charge. Those whose
birthdays come before the pri-
maries will be entitled to vote
then if they have their certi-
ficates, and those who come later
but before the general election,
may vote then.

Murder Mystery Deepens.
Temple. Texas, Jan. 18 Fail-
ure of the grand jury to indict
Grady Mullins, the young Ala-
bamian being held by officers in
connection with tho murder at
Heidenheimer on December 26
last of H. L. Parker, proprietor
of a small storo there, resulted
in Mullins' being released from

far baffled the best efforts of the I
authorities to solve.
Central Christian Church,
A warm welcome always
awaits you; Thejno, for morn-
ing:' VThe delation of the Hu-
man and Divine"
Dhemo for evening; "Tho
Thred Dimensions of Manhood."
Good music and scriptural messages.
NUGGETS PROM THE MINES.
We need more rifle balls and
fewer shotgun sermons.
The deyil never did attack a
dead church, nor a dead man.
Christianity is concrete, 'it
proposes life rather than de-
finition. Nothing short of the divine
can make the human heart do its
best.
If there are any good traits
about an infidel he gets them
from Christianity.
Your opportunity, plus your
ability equals your responsibily.
The one distinguishing feature
of Christianity is that it is self-
propogating. The first impression that one
makes upon society is made by
the outward appearance.
Live your life for pthers and
not for1 self alone".
The most vital adjustment m
life concerns our relationship to
God.
The fellow who thinks he is so
holy that he can't do wrong,
needs watching. He is liable to
Ihink he is doing right when he
is doing wrong.
The heart is the source of all
good or evil impulses, the con-
dition of a man's heart deter-
mines his thoughts, and his
thoughts determine his actions.
The saddest loss of Eden was
the loss of self-hood; man locked
himself out of his own home
when he hid from God.
God created man In his own
image but in order to be up-to-date,
man has sought to improve
the image by artificial means
until some resemble the carved
idols of the heathen rather than
the image of the living God.
Life is too short and eternity
too long and rich for man to
spend his precious moments f um-
ning and fretting over the dark
places on the way.
Homer A. McCarty,
Minister.
Peter Radford, in discussing
the back-to-the-soil irovement,
said:
"We need social centers where
our young people can be enter
tained, amused and instructed
under the direction of cultured,
clean and competent leadership:
where aesthetic surroundings
stir the love for the beautiful;
where art charges the atmos-
phere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements in
struct and brighten their lives.
"To hold our young people on
the farm we must make farm
life more attractive, as well as
tne Dusiness or iarmmg more
remunerative. The school house
should be the social unit, proper-
ly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the
live3 of our people Jean properly
function around it and become
supplied with the necessary
elements of human thought and
activity."
