Texas is confronted with a
great feed shortage this year,
and it looks as if corn will be
hard to buy at any price.
The Government estimates the
total corn crop thia year at
2.459.000. 000 bushels, as against
3.060.000. 000 last year, or 600,-
000,000 bushels less.
The shortest crop sinc$ 1913
but not only is the crop distress*
Newspapers and Crime
Some recent statics show that
big metropolitan newspapers are
devoting as high as 31.6 percent
of their news space to crime.
Important industrial and world
news about progress and devel-
opment is crowded out with sen*
sational matter that tends to de-
velop more crime.
In a southern Illinois town the
other day the merchants met
and asked the local paper to
print less about crime and give
more to constructive news.
This criticism is not applicable
to the country weeklies and
small city dailies that reach about
60 percent of the people.
To gain circulation and make
a little more money by "degrada-
tion of the reading matter that
goes into the home is a crime in
itself aginst the purity of the
thought in the household circle.
-o-----
Running a newspaper is just
like runaing a hotel, only differ
ent. When a man goes into a
hotel and finds something on the
table that doesn’t suit him, he
doesn’t raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop
his hotel. He sets that dish a-
side and wades into the many
dishes that suit him. It is dif-
ferent with some newspaper
readers. They find an article
occasionally that does not suit
them exactly, and without stop-
ping to think it may please hun-
derds of other readers, make j
grandstand play and tell the edi
tor how tbe paper should be run
and what should he put into it.
But such people are becoming
fewer every day.—Ex.

of Charlottehburg ' School were

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES
The teachers and pupils of St.
Ludmila’s High School extend
their deepest sympathy to Mr.
and Mrs. Emil Uilmann upon the
loss of their beloved daughter,
little Helen, who was befriended
by all her schoolmates and all
who knew her.
She was intelligent and amiable
without regard to many other
good qualities which eould have
made her life a success. Never*
the less, God deigned otherwise

there being 250,000,000 bushels
less merchantable corn than in
1913.
It is estimated that the
north central corn producing
states, from which the larger
share of corn must be bought,
will produce this .Year 1,712,*
000,000 bushels, of which 1,165,-
000.000 bushels will be merchan-
table, as compared with 2,181,-
000,000 bushels last year; in
other words, these states will be
short of merchantable corn
nearly 1,000,000,000 bushels.
A MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM
Tbe above analysis of corn
production reflects the most
acute situation in corn in twen-
ty-five years.
THE REMEDY
We are fortunate in Texas to
have a fair crop of cotton, with a
good supply of cotton seed meal
and hulls,.
Your horses and mules can
safely eat six to eight pounds of
hulls daily, and one to one and
one-half pounds of meal. This
permits a greatly reduced grain
ration. Feed the grain ration
with plenty of hay of any kind
along with the meal and hulls
and no injurious effects will re-
sult. but to the contrary, your
stock will thrive on it. When
not working, even a less grain
ration will be sufficient,
You already know that meal
and hulls is the cheapest possible,
cow feed and the best milk pro-
ducer.
You can feed cotton seed meal
mixed and soured, as a mash to
your hogs, at great profit, and
your poultry will likewise thrive
on it.
Why not keep the money at
home and feed your own pro-
ducts, for when freight is added
to $1.10 corn on the farms in the
north, it will cost Texas $1.50 or
more per bushel.
MEAL $2 15. PER SACK
HULLS $9.00 PER TON.

Electricity and
the “Man Hour’
It used to take two men or • a man
and a boy to operate a fanning mill,
one to turn the crank and one to feed
the grain into the mill. The fanning
mill is merely one example of an old-
fashioned two man job. Others that
might be mentioned are the corn shel-
ler, the grindstone, and the horse clip-
per.
Today nearly all of these two man
jobs can be performed by one man.
This has been accomplished by substi-
tuting a small electric motor for the
man who formerly turned the crank.
These motors are made either to be
attached permanently to the machine
in question, or to be moved about
from one machine to another where
the machine is used only occasionally.
For the latter kind of use the motor
is mounted on a small three-legged
stand and is equipped with a pully
having several grooves of different
diameter.
