There is no home so humble

There is nothing more benefi-

Nations have their heroes who
in times of need have offered
their lives in patriotic sacrifice
for the good of the noble people.
This usually occurs in times of
war and during great calamities
when the acts of these heroes
are heralded, and praised
throughout the land and monu-
ments are erected to their mem-
ories. This is as it should be.
But we have heroes who have
sacrificed their lives for the good
of humanity, whose names are
unsung, unknown and forgotten.
These sacrifices have occurred in
times of peace. In medical
science men have offered their
lives as sacrifices and lost them
to establish a principal to save
and prolong human lives, with-
out the hope of reward, or even
having their names known by
those who are benefitted. How
many of the common race of
people could tell you or ever
heard of Dr. Lagear of the
Ameeican Commission, or Dr.
Myers of the Liverpool Commis-
sion who lost their lives as mar-
tyrs to the cause of science in
the investigation of yellow fever.
This sacrice of these noble lives
and others have made the island
of Cuba free from yellow fever,
and also the Isthmus of Panama
with which there would have
been no Panama Canal—sanita-
tion under government control
has resulted in only fifty deaths
in Havanna in 190fy forty-five in
1909, and thirty-eight to Novem-
ber 1910, from typhoid fever in
city of over 300,000 inhabi-
tants. How will this compare
with the death rate of some of
our cities? How would this com-
pare with our own city, Crockett,
should an epidemic break out
here. There are some cases oc-
curring now in the city. The
cause of typhoid fever is abso-
lutely and positively known and
the evidence so plain that the
problem of prevention should be
easily solved when the people
are brought to understand its
simplicity. Since it originates
in filth and is spread by filth
transformed and soli pollution
caused by unclean methods of
disposing of the excretions of
our bodies we should get busy
right now and organize a clean-
up campaign in Crockett to avoid
an epidemic of this kind

Bear in mind that a portion of

If you have children to edu-

GALVESTON
COTTON CARNIVAL
Galveston, Texas, June 5.—
The eyes of the world are turn-
ing toward the Panama Canal,
as, more than ever before, peo-
ple are realizing the enormity of
this wonder of modern engin-
eering. The eyes of Texas are
turning toward Galveston,
where, at the Fifth Annual Cot-
ton Carnival, July 24th to Au-
gust 3rd, will be shown a com-
plete working model of this
greatest engineering venture of
Uncle Sam. In all six models
will be shown, two of which will
be working models, three sec-
tional and one topographical and
naturalistic model of the Panama
Canal Zone, embracing the en-
tire Zone and giving a graphic
picture of the route of the canal,
its construction, and the prob-
lems confronting the engineers.
The sectional models will show
the entire Canal in three sec-
tions, while- the actual working
of the locks, etc., will be shown
in the working models.
These working models are of
the Pedro Miguel locks, and are
constructed to show the actual
operation of the locks. Vessels
of different sizes will be actually
raised and lowered through the
locks, as under aetual conditions.
Miter gates, chain fenders and
emergency dams will be shown
in position and operation. Not
only the construction of the twin
Lock Chambers will be shown,
but also the method of operating
the lock-gates and various other
machines. An expert will be
present at all hours to lecture on
the models, and every detail will
be thoroughly explained to the
thousands of Texans who will
visit the exhibit daily. The
genuineness of the models is at-
tested by the following reply to
an inquiry sent Colonel George
W. Goethals, by the Committee :
Mr. Thos. Grant, Washington
Chamber of Commerce, Wash-
ington, D, C.
Dear Sir: I have seen the
models of the Panama Canal Ex-
hibition Company, which will be
shown at the Fifth Annual Cot-
ton Carnival at Galveston,
Texas, and they are correct rep-
resentations «f the work.

Chairman and Chief Engineer

Surprised
A mission worker in New Or-
leans was visiting a reformatory
near that city not long ago when
she observed among the inmates
an old acpuaintance, a negro lad
long thought to be a model of in-
tegrity.
"Jim!" exclaimed the mission
worker. "Is it possible I find
you here?"
"Yassum," responded the
backslider blithely. Ts charged
with stealin' a barrel o'sweet
pertaters."
The visitor sighed.
"You, Jim!" she repeated. "I
am surprised!"
"Yassum," said Jim. "So was
I, or I wouldn't be here."

Lee Variety Store Coming
WATCH FOR OPENING DATE
Lee Variety Stores will soon open a stock of goods in
Crockett. The location is on the East side of the Court
House Square, in the W. B. Page building, next to H. J.
Phillips Grocery Store. When completed the store and
stock will be the biggest and best of any in this size
town in all Texas.
A store of this character is essentially a bargain center.
The largest selling lines are all bought direct from fac-
tories, and bought in two store quantities for Crockett
and Nacogdoches, insuring lowest and closest buying.
In many instances the price we ask will be the'same or
less than local stores are now paying when buying to
sell you.
We urge upon you a thorough comparison of goods and
prices—either compare with what you are now buying
at home or what you pay when buying of retail
mail order houses.
We shall be open for business about the middle of
month. WATCH FOR OPENING DATE.
