LOCUST TREKS IN
i (M KT HOUSE YARD
VICTIMS OK KOKEKS
M.ire than half the Locust trees
'n the court house lawn have been
ki 11e<i by Locust borers, a pest
svhi' h is threatening all trees of
"his variety in the city. According
to information available yesterday
.here practically nothing which
vi 11 prevent the ravages of the in-
ject. Locust tree^s are the only
,'ictitivs of this particular pest.
Trees in several parts of the cit\
nave been killed, and the spread
zo other parts has been rapid.
Many citizens, anticipating the
ravages of the insect, are prepar-
ing to to plant trees of another
'variety, in order to provide shade
trees when the Locusts are dead,
n case this result comes.
The Locusts in the court house
/ard are apparently in their prime,
and have done much to provide
aeauty and shade there. These
Tr-?es were placed there about 15
years ago, and had been carefully
c red for until they provided suf-
ficient shade to make the court
house yard one of the most beauti-
f : 1 spots in Amarillo. The trees
were peeled in order for the sun
Jind heat to kill the roots, so that
scoots will not spring up in all
parts of the yard. Amarilloans
deeply regret the loss of these
t' jes, pride in which had become

I CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Canted This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-
Draught Relieved.
Meadorsvllle, Ky.—Mm. Pearl Pat-
rick, of this (>!ace, writes: "I was
rvry constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
tripe me and afterwards It seemed
I was more constipated than before.
[ heard of Black-Draught and de-
cided to try It. I found It Just what I
seeded. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
Improved. I got well of the sour stom-
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was In good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black
Draught for It is the finest laxative
one can use."

That J'ellow who purchased the
Goodnight ranch must think that
i: is one wide open out of doors
playground, or oerhaps he missed
his boyhood days and he is now
: living them since he has made
money enough in the oil business
| so he can afford to play, even if it
1 does cost thousands of dollars a
! day. Witness his last effort as
evidenced by the Dallas News:
"According to a statement made
yesterday by Colonel E. D. Steger
he and1 W. J. McAlister, the new-
owner of the famous Goodnight
ranch, on the evening of August
31st, will*witness the embarkation
at Wichita Falls of five trains of
sleepers of 1,000 friends of Mr.
McAlister, whereupon they—
Steger and McAlister—will fly tc
Goodnight, spend the night there
and arrange to receive these
friends the following morning.
Colonel Steger said that he had in-
vited former United States Sena-
tor, Joe. W. Bailey to make the
trip by plane, but Mr Bailey very
emphatically declined.
Mr. McAlister is to give a very
unusual Labor Day picnic on the
very unique Goodnight ranch, the
home of a very great herd of buf-
falo. Colonel Steger says that
there will be a round-up of the
buffalo herd pulled off by "sure-
enough" Indians and that the
Indians will kill a couple of the
buffalo for the crowd. In addition
there will be roping and riding
contests and numerous other
thrillers. Arrangements have been
made to film all of the spectacles
and in addition to film some oil
gushers on the way from Wichita
Falls to Goodnight. Colonel Steg-
er says that Mr. Bailey will de-
liver the Labor Day address at
Goodnight.
TO INVESTIGATE
POTASH POSSIBILITIES
That the potash business is at-
tracting more than local attention
is confirmed by a dispatch from
Washington to the effect that our
congressman, Hon. Marvin Jones,
has just had an interview with
Director Smith of the geological
survey, and as a result of that in-
terview Mr. Smith promised to
send Mr. R. M. Wheeler, an expert
to Texas at once. He will visit
this and adjoining counties and
make an extensive survey.
One of our local citizens who
has just returned from Cisco and
that part of the oil fields says that
the people are talking the potash
possibilities there even more than
we, or more than we ever talked
oil here. He further stated that
the geologist down there say that
Armour & Company control the
potash beds in Germany and that
Ai'iiinuj' is doing all he can to sup-
press the fact that these rich beds
have been found, as it will to a
great extent ruin his little play-
house in ex-Kaiser land.
Anyway, we wish something
definite would turn up, and so
much talk would stop.—Brown-
field Herald.

8 LIFE'S LOVELINESS %
Sometimes the abundant beauty of the
world
Makes my heart tremble and ache.
Sometimes, when summer's banners are
unfurled.
Or autumn's glory on the winds is tossed
and whirled,
I think my heart will break.
For loveliness is often too threat to bear.
Trees laced at twilight, how they lift
me up
To the far heights of heaven! And winds
that stir
At evening bid my soul with God confer.
I drink the beauty of the world as from
a cup.
Why should I almost weep when I be-
hold
The quiet moon, a ship blown down the
night?
Over and over I watch the shadows fold,
Over and over I see the stars' clear gold,
But never yet have I lost the new de-
light.
I weep for gladness, as women weep when
T^ove
Enters the heart, singing its age-old
song.
And I weep that the cloud which sails
that sea above
Will drift from my dreams and all the
hopes thereof ...
And I weep that life is short, when X
thought it long.
—Charles Hanson Towne In Harper's Mag-
azine.
