The credit for placing the window
is due to the efforts of A. V. Wink1< r

The idea of the defense of south-
ern homes is beautifully carried out
in the central figure of the window,
representing an infantry soldier,
musket in hand, standing guard,

about three feet in height, making

under the supervision of Dr. Victor
A. Norgaard, who was for more
than ten years connected with the
United States department of ag-
riculture as chief of the pathologi-
cal division of the bureau of animal
industry, and his name is familiar
with every stockman who has «ver

years to the problem of eradicating
tha Texas fever tick.
Over 400 head were dipped in the
forenoon in a moat satisfactory
manner, and the process of dipping
tha cattle^ which means the complete
immersion of each animal in a dip-
ping vat thirty feet long and nine
feet deep, was entirely satisfactory.
Daring the entire day not a sin-
gle accident occurred and all classes
of cattle were rushed through indis-
criminately, from aged cows and
bulla to calves only a few days old.
Dr. Norgaard stated that he would
continue to dip Mr. Jonek’ cattle un-

Aged Attorney Gone.
V. H. Hale, a noted citizen of
Pari*, died at his home in that city
after an illness of one week. Th.-
deceased was horn in Fleming coun-
ty, Kentucky, in 1833, and moved to
Paris with his parents when n small
bnv. At the age of 18 he went to
Missouri and located at Bloomfield.
He enlisted in the Confederate ser-
vice at tha beginning of thc Civil
war and was elected captain of his
company. At the close of the [war
he went to T^imar county, engaged
in farming for a short while, and
then entered upon the practice of
law-. He was the nestor of the Paris
bar at the time of his death, and
was a lawyer pf state-wide reputa-
tion., A bar meeting was held and
suitable resolutions to his memory
passed.
Say» They Ar* Good Workmen.
While at Brvan some time since,
Mr. Trice was aska.l about the mat-
ter of employing Agricultural and
Mechanical college boys in the In-
ternational and Great- Northern
shop at Paleatine, and said in reply:
“I am truly glad the governor has
ordered an investigation. The facts
Texas ahould be
passing notice. Mr. Reagan was one
of the few public men who cheer-
fully admitted his mistakes and
sbught to correct them. It will be
remembered that the anti-pooling
clause of the act to regulate com-
merce was incorporated therein be-
cause of his iusisteiA# He honest-
ly believed that pooling was a men-
ace to the welfare of the country
and he would not consent to any
measure that would in any way in-
dorse it. This position he maintain-
ed 6o long as he remained in con-
gress. On leaving that service he
became chairman of the Texas rail-
road commission, and as 6Uch had
opportunity to study the subject in
a clearer light. It did not take him
long to change his views, and he
was prompt to announce the fact.
As was the case w,ith Hon. Wil-
liam R. Morrison of thc interstate
commerce commission, Mr. Reagan
will carry with him in'his declining
vears the consciousness of a long
life honestly devoted to the welfare
of his country.

Feedstuff Question.
The question of foodstuffs was dis-
cussed during the late Dairyman’s
association meeting at College Sta-
tion. and extended over a wide range
including cottonseed hulls, sorghum,
prairie hay, millet, alfalfa, rice, rice-
brand, rice polish and many other
feedstuff*. Messrs. Vance, Parish,
Connell, Wilson, Sperrv, Youn£,
Tom and others engaged rn the dis-
cussions. The “dual purpose cow*
also came in for the attention of
the dairymen and the “dual” sides
of tis modern animal were thorough-
ly ventilated.
