FAIR EXHIBITS GOOD
Big
Train Carrying Fair Exhibits
Drew Hnge Crowd
A Big Fair on Wheels would be
a really good title for the special
demonstration train which visit-
ed Rusk Wednesday and spent
from 2.30 until 4 o'clock on the
T. & N. 0. tracks. While it was
here it was visited by hundreds
of people but owing to inability
to-get enough of them together
at one time for lecture purposes
no public lecture was given; the
attractions were too great inside
the cars for the people to spend
their time outside listening, it
seemed.
The train was composed of an
engine and ten cars ind was in
c arge of Southern Pacific officials
in so far as operation was con-
cerned. That company donated
the train an I their services to the
A. & M. College and the College
was in charge of and was respon-
sible the demonstration. Mr.
F. L. Stieeks of Beaumont, Divis-
ion Freight and Passenger A.-ent;
Mr. L. 'V. Ri woof Hou- 'on. Road
Foreman of Engines; Mr. Scott
and others represented the rail-
road company and saw that the
running conditions were right
and that a good schedule was
maintained. Officials from the
A. & M. College had charge in
the various cars and gave infor-
mation regarding the displays
contained therein. A diner and
Pullman are included and the
people on the train are sup "lied
with all the nice fresh milk they
can possibly use by the cows on
board the train. We presume the
chickens are as thoughtful of the
people who are caring for them
and supply the eggs.
This train carries a varied dis-
play beginning with household
person who has to do the buying
for a large family.
Several varieties of sheep and
hogs were shown in one c a r.
Some of the monster hogs were
very young, which showed that
breeding tells in hogs and that
profitable weight comes with im-
proved breeding. Poland China,
Tamworth, Hampshire, and Du-
roc Jerseys were shown.
One section showed the various
stages of cotton manufacture,
raw cotton and then its various
stages of spinning and weaving,
then the finished cloth.
The cattle -ars cam1 in for
much attention. There one saw
prize winning animals of Jersey
and Holstein progeny. There
were animals with records of 10-
gallon of milk per day; 21 pounds
of butterfat per week; and some
with higher butter records.
One could have spent all of the
time allotted to this place in any
one of the cars with very great
profit. What has been done by
man, man can do again, and see-
ing these exhibits of accomplish-
ments of others should inspire
those who view them to labor for
like achievement. It is by this
system of improvement that peo-
ples, cou ttries and nations de-
velop and prosper. We here in
East Texas have wonderful chan-
ces for development and improve-
ment and it is by the study of
such demonstrations as this brot
here on Wednesday that ideas
and inspiration are born and se?d
planted for future harvests of de-
velopment.
Prof. R. 1. Garner of the Pub-
lic Schools took advantage of thii?
educational train to take the
school in its entirety to view
the "Fair" and get ideas. The
time spent there should be among
the most valuable they have spent
in their seh >ol year. It was a
highly commendable move on the
part o the profe.ssor.
This train started out on Mon-
economics at the point where you
enter the train for inspection and I day, Nov. 20th and will be on the

They are so well equipped on the
train that they are caring for the
newborn calves that are arriving
while they are entour; one was
born Tuesday to a handsome Hol-
stein cow on board. This calf
was a heifer and was valued at
$250, (which value is illustrative

Was a Great Success.
The picnic and barbecue held
by the Farm Labor Union on last
Saturday was a very decided suc-
cess. The weather in the early
morning indicated rain but soon
the sun came out and the people
began to gather. There were sev-
eral thousahd people here and the
event was enjoyed hugely by all.
There was a fine barbecued
dinner served and they used 14
beeves, 300 loaves of bread, and a
great number of pies and cakes,
and there was but little of any-
thing left after the throng was fed.
The Hon. T. N. Jones and Mr.
C. C. Wilks of Tyler each made
an address in the court house dur-
ing the day. The local Union
now has a membership of over 75
and in the county over 1500 are
enrolled.
Subscription Contest Moving Again.
Activity in the Cherokeean Sub-
scription Contest has developed
again after a check coming in the
dengue fever ravages. This week
some work has been done and the
contestants say they will have
some reports to make for next
week. Some few little reports
have been made this week and
the vote stood as follows:
Miss Ozella Pryor 34' ^
Miss Katherine Burks bv\j
Miss Thelma Finley 400
Miss Otis Jones
Miss Rosa Lee Spivey
From now on to the end we
look for activity and a greatly in-
creased vote each week.

Mr. Newton Long is making
cane syrup at present. When Dr.
T. H. Cobble was out there Tues-
day they were busily engaged and
in speaking of probable returns
from his cane crop Mr. Long stat-
ed that from his one acre he ex-
pected te b? able to mak 800 gal-
lons of syrup, even after putting
aside the seed cane for the com-
ing year. A big crop for an acre
is said to be 500 gallons md so
'.his acre Mr. Long has is one ex-
ceptional acre and one worth m ;a-
tioning.

should go down in the Rio Grande

money that will buy ten here.
What can they hope to produce
that will yield larger returns than
can be produced on thesj Chero-
kee county acres? It is true that
the grass in the pasture across
the fence always looks greener
and longer than hat in the pas-
ture in which we are grazing
but are the cattle in the other
pasture any fatter or sleeker than
the ones in our pasture? It is
well to ponder some of these
things when contemplating mak-
ing changes, or even when con-
soling ourselves for not making
the headway we feel we should
make. It is not always the fault
of the country or the soil—it may
be application or inability t o
adapt ourselves to conditions.
