Sheriff Mace is in receipt of
the following:
Zephyr, Tex., May 31, 1909.—
Received of A. R. Mace one hun-
dred and two dollars and sixty-
five cents $102.65 for relief fund
from Lampasas.
O. D. Couch,
By E. M. Couch.
Mr. Mace has some funds on
hand and others who desire to
contribute may leave their dona-
tions with him and same will be
forwarded. The need is greater
than at first supposed.
LOST—An open faced, gold
watch. If found return to me at
Rural telephone office and re-
ceive reward. G. B. Walderon.
Post card greetings from Paris,
France, have come to friends
here, stating that Mr. and Mrs.
R. Lee Blaffer are enjoying life
on the continent.
The Lampasas 42 club will
meet with Miss Emma Price Sat-
urday afternoon, and she re-
quests all members who will at-
tend to telephone her to that ef-
fect.
Miss Maud Simmons is home
from Baird, where she has been
teaching for the past term. She
will spend the summer here and
we are all glad to see her.
Two and a half inches of rain
fell here Monday, and creeks
were all overflowing, while tanks
were, filled, crops refreshed and
grass given a new lease of life.
Texas will redeem herself this
year.
Rev. F. T. Cox, recently of San
Antonio, is here and may remain
for some time.' He is a friend of
the Jones brothers who live on
the Rogers ranch some six miles
south of Lampasas, and may go
out and assist them in being
lonesome, thus adding one more
bachelor to that den.
Jas. J. Read, prescriptionist at
the Lion Drug Store, is taking
his annual vacation and will
leave in a day or two to rusticate
for some days on the Colorado
river. Gordon Mackey, who re-
cently graduated at the state
school of pharmacy, is filling the
place during the absence of Mr.
Read.
Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Tombeaugh
and their daughter, Miss Clara,
are home from a pleasant visit to
the home of Mrs. Tombeaugh’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Dillingham, near Austin. The
77th birthday of the father was
celebrated and a number of the
children, grand children and
great grand children were pres-
ent, thus making four genera-
tions in the assembly. A good
dinner was served and the day
was spent in recounting the
scenes of early days in Texas,
Mr. Dillingham having been
among the early settlers of Travis
county. His children are scat-
tered in different counties over
the state and some of them could
not be present, but those who
were there enjoyed the . cele-
bration.
The farmer’s Creed.
I believe in the trinity of deep
preparation, liberal fertilization
and rapid cultivation of the soil.
I believe in the making and
saving of barnyard manure as
the standard of all fertilizing
material, and as the surest means
of enriching our soils so as to
make paying crops.
I believe in the imperative
necessity of adding humus to the
soil.
I believe in the great value of
rotation of crops and the plant-
ing of the legumes to add fertility
to our soil and increase our yields.
I believe in raising cattle upon
our farms, that it is necessary for
the proper development of the
highest type of farmers, as well
as a necessary part of any bal-
anced system in farming.
I believe in growing home sup-
plies, that we may use our land
and our time to the best advan-
tage, and for the surest profit
and least strain.
1 befieve in keeping out of
debt, so that we may be able to
market our cotton and produce
only when the market will give
us a living profit for our labor.
I believe, first, in individual
effort and merit, then co-opera-
tion for the development of our
farming interests and home in-
dustries, that our people may be
more prosperous.
I believe in home raised meat,
home grown corn, oats and hay;
then ten cent cotton.
I believe in chickens, eggs,
butter, potatoes, melons, cab-
bage, and onions being raised
and grown both for home and for
sale, to increase the income of
the farm.
I believe in the use of all ma-
chinery that will aid us in the
doing’of more and better work
with less strain' and physical
effort,
I believe in our farmers read-
ing and improving their minds,
relying more on the brain and
less on the muscle, less upon the
drudge and more upon the hustle
in modern ways of efficiency and
skill.—Southern Cultivator.

CHILDREN TAUGHT TO SAVE.
School children of Liege, Bel-
gium, had on deposit in the school
children’s savings banks last July
the sum of $71,778. The.system was
first established in 18,69, but re-
ceived practically no encouragement
until 1876, when philanthropic citi-
zens made contributions of prizes to
stimulate interest. ' Last year the
children had $55,158 on deposit at
the beginning of the school year and
added thereto $36,980 during the
year. The withdrawals of deposits
amount to $21,486 and the govern-
ment paid $1,361 interest on the de-
posits.
MYSTERY.
Hi
Cook—You didn’t happen to notice
where I put down that pudding?
Robert—I can’t see it anywhere.
RESET ALL LOWER TEETH.
A peculiar surgical operation was
performed upon the nine-year-old
son of Butcher Kipp of Rittersville,
Pa. The boy was kicked in the jaw
by a horse. The teeth were all
knocked out pf the lower jaw, and
five of the other teeth were loosened,
and the lower jaw was split trans-
versely.
The jaw was reset and the teeth
were replaced in their sockets, and
from present indications the opera-
tion may be very successful.
LIVERYMAN’S HARVEST.
1
Knicker—What are you looking so
sour about, Bocker?
Bocker—Why, because that fool over
there in the livery charges a dollar a
night to hoard a horse, he wants to
soak me $40 to keep my 40-horsepower
machine over night.
MATERNAL CARE.
T
Mrs. Ostrich—You had better re-
move the nails from that horse shoe
before you eat it, Willie. Nails are so
indigestible.”
