HOC. KILLING TIME.
Oil. .lack Sportsman ami Neighbors
Cooperate With thrli Other.
Many fat porkers yielded up the
ghost since the present wintry blast
has been prevailing. Fifteen were
slaughtered by Col. Jack Sportsman
Tuesday on ' the Stiff ranch four
miles northwest of town which he
runs. However only a part of that
number wer his own hogs. On ac-
count of his excellent equipment for
the business, several of the neighbors
took advantage of his proffered clev-
erness to lend them his accommoda-
tions and took their fat hogs over to
kill and clean at his home. Jack
Sportsman Is a generous hearted
clover fellow who always finds Joy In
accommodating the other fellow
whenever he can do so and In
spreading good cheer and optimism.
More of us would lie happier and
more thought of by our acquaintances
If we would emulate his example in
these respects and give a little more
thought to our uplfthhor's'welfnre.

congregation which he had served for
two years as pastor a few year* ago.
The Kev. Mr. Young was recently
assigned by the North Texua Confer-
ence to the task of founding the Meth-
odist Home for the aged, an enterprise
that is designed to care for the aged
of both sexes. The home is solely for
the purpose of benevolence in help-
ing those who cannot help themselves.
The lirat building will be used for
aged homeless women of good char-
acter. The directorate and manage-
ment of the home will be restricted
o membership in the Methodist Kpia-
sopal Church, South, though the home
shall be non-sectarian among Protes-
tants.
Plans and specifications have been
prepared for an institution with a
capacity of caring for eighty inmates
to commence with. A site of fifteen
or twenty acres will be required for
the institution which will give room
for the erection of additional unit*.
It will be modern fireproof construc-
tion and in accord with the approved
arrangement and management of such
institution, as the Rev. Mr. Young and
his architect have visited and Inspect-
ed the most successful institutions of
the kind operated In various states
of the union.
The purpose of the home Is to af-
ford home comforts and tender care
free of cost to the aged of good char-
acter and who have been deprived of
loved ones and relatives financially
able to care for them. This frill be
the first Institution of the kind of the
Southern Methodist church
The first building is expected to cost
about $160,POO. The task of Rev. Mr.
Young is to raise funds neceaaary to
erect it and to provide and endowment
fund to support It.
♦ ♦ ♦
May 8clect MoKlnney.
Thla home for the aged will be
located in some North Texas city and
McKinney may be chosen as the place
of Its location when the time comes.
The Itev. Mr. Young Is one of the
moil successful Methodist pastors In
the North Texas Conference. For sev-
erals years he has seen need of a home
of this character by his church and his
brother ministers as well as laymen
have with one mind turned to him
as a leader In the movement to found
and build it. While he has been de
voting his energies to this new task
for less than a month only, yet he has
raised perhaps llftcen or twenty thou-
sand dollars of the needed initial
amount. He will work constantly and
assiduously until the task is accom-
plished after which he hopes to re
turn to the itinerant of the ministry
There are already many good old
agt-d mothers waiting to enter this
home and Rev. Young is being en-
couraged by cordial words, lotters
and prayers of Christian people among
all churches in his treat work of love
and benevolence for a helpless old
womanhood that have already too
long been neglected by the churches
and Christian people. As stated above,
while the management of the institu-
tion will be restricted to the Southern
Methodist church, yet its benevolenco
will be equally open to the care of
he aged and dependent of all churches.
A number of McKinney people have
made subscriptions and paid In cash
to Itev. Young who is working under
the direction of a board of trustees
who have the management of the en-
terprise in charge.

night follo\ ing a masterful address
by Dr. George W. Truett, pastor of
the First Baptist church of Dallas.
Although the rain was pouring
down large numbers of Baptists
turned out and many welcome guests
were present from other denomina-
tions. The main auditorium of the
church was comfortuhly filled and a
few were seated in the Sunday school
room. Dr. Truett spoke for
about an hour and a halt', but so In-
tensely gripping and interesting wus
his address that tho time passed be-
fore his auditors hardly realised it
lie brought some wonderful stories of
sacrificial giving, some Incidents of
li.s work across the seas with the sol

lias enjoyed as a minister. His dls

Washington. Dec. 3.—Slate depart-
ment officials were marking time to*
duy awaiting word from Mexloo City
of the delivery of the lateet American
note to the Mexican government an4i
the subsequent uotlon Inspired by It.
The message was garbled In tranamla-
ston and this delayed Ita presentation
to President Carranaa.
In some quarters it waa believed
that Currunaa would order the relea**
of Jenkins aoon after receiving th*
message and prevent a complete break
)>etween hla government and the Unit-
mI State*. Private advices from Mex-
ico indicated that some of the Mexican
otllcials were not taking the negotia-
tions seriously and felt that It In-
volved only an Interchange of diplo-
matic notes and would reault amloa-
bly.
A different attitude waa evident at
the state department, however, '"llWfl i
the situation was being considered
gravely and should Carranaa contlnu*
to hold out agalnat the American gov-
ernment's request to releuse American
Consular Agent Jenkins without de-
lay pressure was expected to b*
brought about whloh would force M*X-
ico to accede to th* demands.
Mrs. J. F. Spartln of this city
