NEW BUILDING ERA
The old custom of building up o
section and then adding the protective
measures has been upset in Houston j
with the advent of the Democratic
National Convention, set for June 26.
Instead of building the Coliseum for
I the convention and then building a
I fire station next to it, Houston build-
ed the fire station and then placed
the Coliseum next to it. When the
ite for the Coliseum was chosen, it
just happened to be adjoining a fire
station.

TElAS HOW PIE-
THROWING COMEDY
STUNT WAS ORIGI-
NATED BY COWBOYS
—o—•
Do you know where the
throwing pies as a comedy
originated ?
In Texas, of course.
Did you know that one of the three
men responsible for this laughgetting
act lived in Amarillo?
Felix S. Franklin was one of the
men who back in the "eighties" un-
consciously originated the idea of
throwing pies as a comedy feature.
According to Mr. Franklin, he and
two other young cowboys left Colo-
rado City on a vacation trip to East
Texas. While on the train, they stop-
ped at Sweetwater and bought tie.-
entire stock of a chic ken-anil-bread
and pie boy.
Generous hearted as they were,
thoy shared their supply with every-
one in the smoker. They were having
a real party when two elderly gent
men, aristocracy personified, who
were traveling in the heighth of lux
ury—the "sleeper," appeared in the
door of the smoking ear.
Now, Mr. Franklin, says that these
tenderfeet would perhaps have gone
unnoticed had it not been that one
of them wore a high bee-gum hat anil
that both of them wore long linen
dusters, which were real class in
those days.
The tenderfeet apparently surpr
ed at the class of people in the smok-
ing car, took a rear seat and buttoned
their linen dusters up close around
their necks in order that they might
not be contaminated -by the other in-
habitants.
Prinkle Moore, as good a cowhand
as ever forked a horse and as his
name indicates a lover of fun, offered
to bet his pals that he could hit the
bee-gum hat with a mince pie. The j
bet was accepted and the pie thrown, j
Now Prinkle would not have won
honors on the baseball field for h(
threw a "low" pie and it encountered
the effete gentleman from the "sleep-
er" square in the face.
The astonished eastener, so felon-
iously assaulted by the wild anil wooly
cowboy, and his companion immediate-
fled, Prinkle hurled another pie which ' stunt originated in Texasi in th
hit the door just right to splash more ies and that Felix S. Franklin
pie over thern. i Amarillo was one of the origin
Of course, the occupants of the
smoker thought it was a great joke; The above was copied from a copy
Amarillo
of the
anil it was. The conductor heard u-
bout it and came to the smoker to sen
the ruffians but when he saw who
they were and heard of the highfalu
ting actions of the tenderfeet, he join
ed in the laughter.
That is the story of the pie as a
comedy feature, so the next time you
sent to
papers
Most everyone knows Prinkle Moore
at least everybody who has been in
this part .of West Texas. He is one
of the first settlers of this county ar.il
was elected sheriff of Stonewall Coun-
ty in 189G.

Canned Foods to Have

strained or with the pulp. The house-
wife wishes to know in exactly what
form the apples she is buying are
packed, and perhaps what kind .of
apples have been used. It is these
things which canners are now putting
on their labels.
High standard of quality is being
developed by discarding all varieties
of fruits, vegetables, etc., which are
not of outstanding merit. In this
way, canners say, the quality of our
future canned foods will be greatly
improved.
