PRODUCTS, and not on the profit.
This must tie the only rule for many
reasons not given here for want of
room. A very practical reason, how-
ever is, that profits may easily be
shown by figures and the figures may
be erroneous or falsified. The judges
have no time to try cases by hearing
testimony and summing up the evi-
dence. To award prises on a basis of
profit showing would be to open the
doors to all manner of error if not of
fraud. But when the awards are made
on a quality basis, the animals are
there to be seen, felt, examined anil
judged critcally by the judging com-
mittee. and as exports are always se-
lected when available, the awards upon
this basis may be accepted as fair and
as near per*«ct as human skill and
human frailty will permit.
The Vanguard, however, will review
the entire club now on a basis of prof-
it. because, first, it has the written
record made by the lioys, second, it

jumped on the stand for remarks, hut : an» reasonably certain to get it; but
saiil nothing remarkable. The pastor jf W(. rely on our advantages of short

More |ieople of Comanche county
will he served by this part of the Nat-
ional highway if it is conaummated,
I -we might al-
most say, than ALL the other roads
in the county without it.
It is therefore to lie earnestly hoped
11hat the people may lie induced to see
the- great benefit to be derived from a

But there is another element which
has not been considered, and that is
TIME. If we assume that all the boys
took about the same length of time in
production, without considering any
element of quality, the prizes were
awarded almost in the order of quality.
And it may have lieen a matter of such
close discrimination between second
and third as to make it doubtful
whether Jim Pettit or W. D. Lane
would come out ahead..
There is ample room for more com-
parative study of the records than wo
can now spare time or space for. It
is sufficient for the present to say
that Troy Pettit, who won first prize,
spent more for food and care than anv
of his competitors; that Jim Pottit
was second on this point, and that,
with one exception, (f'arness Poyner)
W. D. Lane was third.

Sidney people, Comanche will have to
do some side-stepping if it escapes the
danger of being run over and swat-
ted. The occasion, as had lieen an
nounced in the \ anguard, was the ded-
ication of the new Baptist church
which has arisen Phoenix-like from
the ashes of the olil one burned to the
ground a few months ago. It is a
model little meeting house, up to date
in style, neat, commodious, amply
large for the average congregation,
although a little overflowed on this
special im'i . — . . -
and best of all it is fully paid for and
insured from fire in this world,
while the numbers have all taken out
a policy of absolute safety against
fire in the next.
The troth is. Sidney is a mighty fine
community of people. Its buildings
consist principally of churches, of
which there arc several; but when it
comes to community co-operation, they
are all traveling the same road, in the
same direction and tsuinil for the
same place. It is simply a difference
of the cars 1
not being big enough for them all.

ed than we have ever seen him. Ac-
cording to his own account, which has
been unvarying ever since he has
lived in this county, 40 years more or
less, hr must have been born about
February, 1824. This would make him
93 years of age next February. He
says he actually voted for James K.
Polk, although hr lacked about three
months of being 21. We used to think
he was joking about it, hut a circum-
stance which we are not at liberty to
mention has convinced us that hr has
always hern serious in the statement.
He says he served in General Taylor’s
army in the *ar with Mexico in 1845
and 1846, and this is also corrotmrateii
by other facts not necessary to men-
tion here. That Unele Adam has al-
ways tieen so much of a joker is the
only reason why anybody ever doubt-
ed the statement, for nobody ever
doubted his word when given serious-
ly. Up to the last year or two hr
has been one of the most active, ener-
getic farmers in the county and was
‘ i an ablebodied man's work.
