After all the attention that has been

which migratory ‘.birds unerringly

It Is. said that- one of the ques-

for immigrants is how many teeth a

answerable questions are propound-
ed in the course of the average ex-

but if we should ever go to a foreign
country and upon returning be mis-
taken tor an alien there’d be no
doubt about our not being admitted.

More than 100,000 tourists pass-
ed through Clarksville last year. At
first thought this may not seem rea-
‘ sonabU, but if a record had been
compiled of the tourist movement in
and ,out of Clarksville during 1927
the total would have easily exceed-
ed 109,000. Estimating an average
t of twelve tourist cars an hour—
4 which is very low—and an average
of twelve hours a day for driving,
144 cars a day passed through
Clarksville. Counting two people to
the car made a total of 288 people
a day. This number of people mul-
tiply by 265 days gives a total ot
105,130.- The number of tourists
passing through was probably near-
sr 1|0,000 than 106,000, but wheth-
er 150,900 or 100,000 the number
U . is.^significant-and affords tha best

'had
nothing to do with the publicans
and sinners in the olden days. The
publicans were tax gatherers and
therefore sinners in the light of
public appraisal. Today we have
our tax gatherers, but we don’t call
them sinners ^because they are tax
gatherers. Since this is tax paying
time there may be a few—possibly
.more than a,few—who feel like call-
ing some person or persons names
because of what appears on the tax
rolls, but in the functioning of
democracy most of these complaints
will never be heard of officially.
Taxation is necessary in every form
qi government, and . the greatest
problem is not in assessing and col-
lecting, but in an equitable distribu-
tion of the burden of maintenance.

The flour milling industry once
flourished in Red River county. At
one time several mills were in op-
eration in the vicinity of Clarksville.
One of the early plants was the old
Oines mill on Boggy creek, about
two miles southwest of Clarksville.
It was erected in 1859. In 1865 J.
W. Gaines took over the property.
For several y&ars it was the only
mill in the county. Others were
built later. When cotton came to
be the chief crop farmers no longer
had need of flour mills and some
weTe converted into cotton gins.
The Gines mill was converted into a
gin. The Gaines gin was the first in
tie county to be run with steam.

Eric Hausler, locai farmer and
poultryman, established a state rec-
ord last year with one pen of his
White Plymouth Rock flock in an
egg laying contest and was awarded
Lunches
t Hy ' F. W. Kazmcier,
Bryan, Texas.)
A fertile egg is one which con-
tains a live embryo. It' the embryo
is strong it may develop so that the
egg will hatch; but if weak, it may
die any time during the period of
incubation. If‘it dies, it is refered
to as a dead germ or dead chick in
U'.e shell. Back yard flocks very
closely confined, cause more trouble
from poor fertility and lratchability
Hian flocks on free range or in good
sized yards. This is partly because
cofifined flock;* do not get enough
direct sunshine. The term hateba-
hiliiy refers to the ability of an egg
to batch. There are no ways of pre-
dicting the fertility of eggs before
placing in the incubator. There are
no reliable ways of predicting the
sex of the chick in an egg before in-
cubation/ The systems or methods
advertised, claiming to predict fer-
tility and sex, lack scientific back-
ing and cannot,, be considered re-
liable.
Hens or Pullets
The latest available information
is to the effect that well matured
pallets will produce just as strong
baby chicks as hens. There does not
seem t\> be any foundation to the
old belief that hens produce strong-
er chicks than pullets. We do noi
know, just how or why this informa-
tion was developed, but we do know
that there is nothing to the old be-
lief and that undoubtedly pullets
produce just as strong baby chicks
as liens. When pullets are. ipaturea
and lay good sized eggs they pro-
duce just as strong and healthy
baby chicks as hens.
Experiments have proven that
flocks fed too scantily will produce
eggs low in fertility and hatchabil-
ity. Feed liberally.
Rations deficient in animal foods
like meat scraps or milk produce
eggs poor in fertility and hatchabil-
ity. Milk is a wonderful 'feed to
give breeding stock, in fact we do
not believe there is anything better.
If sour milk, buttermilk or ski. a
milk is not available, feed commor-
...* milk p^odu such as*, dried
buttermilk or semi-solid buttermil-
It is better to food the mash mix-
ture dry than moisj..
Bresh green food; such as sprout-
ed oats, fine cut collards, green
cabbage, lettuce, etc., when fed to
breeding stock will produce eggs
high in fertility and hatchability.
It is possible to feed too much green
food, especially early in the Spring
when there is an * abundance of it
and the hens have access to it all
ciay. Where you have to carry it to
them there is not much likelihood
ot feeding too much.

Mr. Hausler has one hen that earn-
ed a net profit of ten dollars in
19 27, which was probably a record
for the whole country. Mr. Hausler
is an independent farmer. He makes
his living at home and has demon-
strated the fact that he can make
money in the poultry business. He
held ten bales of his 1927 cotton
nop. He didn’t have to sell at any
particular time because of financial
demands. His is a splendid example
01 the kind of thrift and progress
which inevitably culminate in pros-
perity.

.1. E. Jenkins celebrated his ei^it-
ielli birthday Tuesday. Tuesday
evening Mrs. J. T. Tucker, his
daughter, gave a dinner to Mr. Jen-
kins and the members of the John C.
Burks Camp, U. C. V., who were
able to attend. Only about a half
dozen members of this camp are
now active. Mr. Jenkins came to Red
River county in 1861 from Arkan-
sas. He enlisted in the Confederate
ai my while here. . After the war he
sett lea in his native state a few
years, later returning to Red River
eoynty. Mr. and Mrs, Jenkins have
been married nearly fifty-four
years.

".School days in the little log
cabin across the creek were very
different from today,” says W. J.
ninwiddie. “Conveniences in those
days were few. We had stick and
dirt chimneys,’ split log benches,
desks made fast to the walls under
windows apd only three months'
school iu summer. We little fellows
certainly enjoyed one incident con-
nected with our early school days.
A polecat and four little <; ki’ttpng
made a home iuk a fisStpre in tjii
back of the fireplace, caused'by th
bursting of the clay under hfeat:
The kittens came, out to play on the
hearth ..regularly and we liked to
watcli them, but were careful not to
disturb them iu any way.”
A material change in handling
traffic over Highway No. 5 through i|
the business section of Clarksville
was made this week when two new
stop signs were installed, one at the
southwest corner and one at the
southeast corner of the public
square, replacing old signals re-
moved from Main street. East-
bound traffic will no longer halt
at the new First National Bank cor-
ner. South-bound traffic will be
stopped at the Atlantic & Pacific
corner, instead. West-bound traf-
fic will go through the Miesch &
Bailey corner, while south-bound
traffic is stopped at the old First
National Bank corner. No change
is made for north-bound cars at the
First National Bank and Bowers
Hardware company coiner, and no
change is made in handling traffic
at the Boston Store and Miesch &
Bailey corner.
The new plan enables tourists
passing through Clarksville to make
better time, as no stops will be
necessary in compliance with local
ordinances. The new signs will also
serve to keep south-bound traffic
directed to the proper side of the
street at the two new locations.
The change wjll also eliminate
many delays heretofore occasioned
when tourists disregarded the old
stop signs. Parking laws differ
widely over the state but a “stop’
sign is a “stop” sign, no matter
where it may be located. These sig-
nals have heretofore been obeyed
by many tourigts, but certain classed
persisted in disregarding .their pres-f
ence with the hope and expectation
of “getting by” because of the fact
that they were tourists.
