That Text Book Middle.
The Houston Chronicle came
forth Sunday morning with its
promised sensation concerning
the state text book board, Frank
Putnam, staff correspondent of
the Chronicle and writer of the
article, attempts to convict Gov.
Campbell of deliberately rob-
bing the multitude of Texas
children in behalf of his political
"machine." The governor would
cripple the efficiency of the A. &
*(. college in the building of this
political "machine," in fact that
Campbell has sacrificed the edu-
cational interests os our children
and youths for the sake of po-
litical power. Putnam is an
adept at drawing conclusions
from circumstances. These
things are hard to credit, yet,
there is no question but that
there is something wroW in jthe
manipulation of these book con
tracts. The main idea of this
text book board is to secure for
the children of Texas the best
books for the least money, yet it
is an undisputed fact that every
book used in our public schools
is sold at an exorbitant price. It
is also an undisputed fact that
the retail booksellers are forced
to sell the school books at almost
cost. Then it stands to reason
that there is robbery some-
where along the line. Anybody
can tell when a horse is sick, but
the rub comes in finding the
cause and administering the
proper remedy. The q uestion in
this matter is, what are we go-
ing to do about it?
Out Look For The Fair.
Monday afternoon a very
enthusiastic meeting of the
promoters of the fair met at the
court house and considered
many important matters concern-
ing it. Itwas decided that the
entertaimmeut should be post-
poned sill October 6th, as the
time was so short that it could
not be made a sucess. The
finance committee reported that
they were meeting with sucess,
and that there was no question
but the necessary money could
be raised. This was the best
meeting yet held by the pro-
moters, there being more en-
thusiasm displayed than at any
jprevious meeting. Things are
"beginning to assume the right
^hape and in a short time some-
thing definite may be given the
tpublice, as the committees are
mow at work on details. The
premium committee reported
that they had the list all ready
for publication as soon as the as-
sociation wished it. Col. J. Z.
Miller was in attendance and an-
nounced that in the event it was
necessary he would double his
.•subscription. There are others
, who have signified the same
■spirit, and the Democrat wish-
es to tender its compliments.
Lets all pull for a big sucess.
About the brightest idea of
street work that the Democrat
has come in contract with in the
past few summers is that now
being done on Main street, the
gutters are being cleaned out and
the surplus dirt, mud and grass
is thrown on a paved street that
cost many hundred dollars to
build. The Democrat is a little
slow of understanding and there-
fore can't see Just how this is go-
ing to benefit Main street, but
gmif it will or it wouldn't be

The First Dollar From Belton.
The article and lines below
clipped from the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal will be read with
much .nterest by the people of
this county from the fact that it
gives the city of Belton a dis
Unction. Miss Thomas is a
teacher in Baylo* college, and
incidentally a poet of considera-
ble note.

Dear Sir—Please accept the

The editor of the Democrat
spent a day in Waco last week
and took note of the optimistic
feeling of the business men of
that city. They are expecting
an extra large business the com
ing season. The town is soon to
be within the throes of a munici-
palelection. The present mayor,
Col. Jas. B. Baker, will soon re-
sign on account of failing health
and there are a number of pros
pective candidates. Among
those who are prominently spoken
of as "aspirants to fill the unex-
pired term is Hon. T. M. Hami.-
ton, the present city recorder.
Mr. Hamilton is a man of splen-
did ability, with no "moss" on
his back, and in the event the
people of our sister city selects
him as their chief executive, he
will infuse new life in this fine
old town and make things hum.
Hon. Geo. W. Tyler Returns.
Hon. George W. Tyler and
Mrs. Tyler, who with Miss Belle
have been summering on the
Michigan lakes retuned home
Friday, and reported a most
pleasant vacation. Miss Belle
stopped off at Waco, where she
will spend a few days before re-
turning home. Mr. Tyler says
that there was quite a number
of Belton people at the same ho-
tel with himself and family a-
mong whom were Prof. Hub-
bard, and the Misses Osterhout.
Prof. Hubbard expects to return
to Belton about the first of the
month. ^
T. S. Elliott of Route No. 2,
Belton, left Monday for Van-
court where he will reside in the
future.
Making Big Preparations.
San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 5.—
Everything is being placed in
readiness for the great Interna-
tional Fair which will open in
San Antonio this year on Sep-
tember 25th, and will close on
on October 11th, and all indica-
tions promise that one of the
greatest crowds that ever at-
tended any fair in Texas will
visit San Antonio during the ex-
position.
A large force of men have been
engaged for some time in put-
ting the big exposition buildings,
and the spacious grounds in or-
der, and this work is almost com-
pleted.
The race track, which is the
Mecca of tens of thousands dur-
ing the fair meeting has been
thoroughly, renovated, and ex-
perts have pronounced it to be
one of the best in the state in its
present condition. Two hun-
dred thoroughbreds and about
half as many quarter horses are
already in training on the track
for the race meeting, and it is ex
pec ted that at least 600 thorough-
breds and trom 200 to 300 quart-
er horses will take piace in the
racing program.
Live stock owners from all
over the United States have en-
tered their oattle, horses, goats,
sheep, poultry, males, bees, etc ,
for toe premiums offered by the
San Antonio International Fair
association, and included in the
number are several free attrac-
tions, to which the patrons of
the Fair will be welcome, gratis.
Convention rates of one and
one-fifth fares for the round trip
will be in force during the en-
tire period.of the fair: and in ad-
dition to this low rate, a very
much lower special rate, of a
one way fare for the round trip,
will be in effect on a half dozen or
more special days during the ex-
position. One of these days will
be September 30, which is "San
Antonio and Mexico Day" and on
which the largest crowd of the
fair will be in attendance.

IN PRAISE OF APPLE TREE
Henry Ward Scecher'a Panegyric ef
, Humble Fruit.
, " : "?
mm'
One day Henry Ward Beccher
strolled through an orchard and fell
in love with a blossoming apple tree.
It was just about this time of ymr.
In the pulpit the following morn-
ing he said:
"An apple tree in full bloom ia
like a message sent from earth to
heaven of purity and beauty. We
walk around it reverently and ad-
miringly. Homely as it ordinarily
is, yet now it speaks of the munifi-
cence of God better than any other
tree. The oak proclaims strength
and rugged simplicity.- The pine
is a solitary, stately fellow. Even
in forests each tree seems alone, and
has a sad, Castilian-like pride. The
elm is a prince; grace and glory
are on its head. But none of these
speaks such thoughts of abundance,
such prodigal and munificent rich-
ness, such lavish, unsparing gener-
osity, as this same plain and home-
ly apple tree. The very glory of
God seems resting npon it! It is a
little inverted hemisphere, like that
above it; and it daily mimics with
bud and bloom the stars that nightly
blossom out in the darkness above
it Though its hour of glory is
short, into it is concentrated a mag-
nificence which puts all the more
stately trees into the background!
If men will not admire, insect* and
birds will!"
TO REMOVE MARBLE 8TAJNSL
Mix in a pan half a pound of
soft soap, one pound of whiting and
a half pound of soda; boil to the
consistency of a thick paste, stirring
often.
Before it is quite cool, apply to
the marble by spreading it evenly
over the surface; leave it for 24
hours; wash off with soft water; rub
well with soft cloths.
Spirits of turpentine is the best
cleaning agent for black marble
Another method is to sift through a
fine sieve, two parts soap, one of
finely powdered chalk and one of
pumice atone; add enough water to
make a thick paste.
Bub this on the marble and the
stains will be removed; then wash
with soap and water in order to pro-
duce a fine polish.
Marble can be also scoured with
whiting and baking soda and a damp
sloth. To clean marble busts first
free them from all dust, than wash
them with very weak hydrochloric

_ NEW MOUNE
In light-running qualities, The New Moline has distanced all comp«tlton.
So remarkable is its superiority in this respect, that we have adopted the
swift greyhound as a part of our trade mark.
We take just as much pride in the light draft of The New Moline, as we
— do in its durability and strength.
You can get the most work out of your team if
they are hitched to a NEW MOLINE.
New Moline wheels are specially solid and lasting.
The Hubs are of Oak and thoroughly seasoned
and mortised afterwards. The ins'.de cupping fits
the high collar of our skeins, so as to shutout every
particle of dirt and dust..
The cross section of hub and spokes shows how
perfectly they are joined. The picture of dust-proof
# skeins tells its own story.
The sectional *view of skein, skein box and hub
with spokes inserted, discloses the real secret of the
light-running feature of The New Moline.
We use the finest air-seasoned hardwood, and
reinforce our wagons throughout witb heavy ironing.
The first Moline Wagon was built in 1854. It
was not quite as handsome as the wagons we are
turning out in 1906, but it was built by a wagon
maker who knew his business, and put honest
material and high-class workmanship into it.
The same strict attention to every detail of
construction that built the foundation of our present
enormous business, is given to every wagon we turn
out today.
~^vi The reputation of The New Moline as a leader,
■da * *7H«k wl«k has been gained by continual improvement.
If you want the most np-to-date
and satisfactory wagon, get The
New Moline.
The leading dealer in yourtown
is our agent. Call and see him,
or drop us a postal at once for our
