HOO RAISING AND THE
SAN BENITO IDEA
Secretary Geo A Toolan of
the San Benito Commercial Club
has advised tho Texas Industrial
Congress that a new approach to
the prodosition of growing hogs
on the farm as a "casd crop"
has been made under the lead-
ership of Mr R 0 Barron, u pro-
gressive farmer of San Benito.
Without waiting for the banks
tc furnish the credit, Mr Barron
purchased a car load of thor-
oughbred Duroc Jersey sows
Irom the Stockyards at Fort
Worth and had them shipped
to San Benito. Then he care-
fully selected a number of wor-
thy farmers and leased them one
or more sows each, as the cir-
cumstances appeared to justify.
By the terms of the lease the
lessee agreed to care properly
for the sows, which had all been
bred before shipment, and at
the end of three montl)9 to re-
turn the sows and one-half of
the for himself. San Benito can
grow a plentiful feed crop and
has mild winters, and Mr Too
]an states that there aro thous-
and? of hogs on the San Benito
tract now where a year ago there
were but hundreds. He also says
that bogs can he and have beofi
raised ther« at a production
cost of 24 cents per pound.

SHORT CORN CROP PRE-
DICTED FOR TEX.
Washington, D. C. The Tex-
as corn crop of 1914 will be less
than the one of 1913, but will
exceed the average years yield
of the past five year period by
ths United States Department of
Agriculture- Based on condi-
tions prevalent early in October,
ti e 1914 yield will he around
125,400,009 bushels, accoiding
to the government experts.
This is 2,000,000 bushels more
than the estimates of September
1st snowed. In 1918 Texas pro-
duced 163,200,000 bushels of
corn, the largest vield eince 1908
when the output was around
202,000,000 bushels. The Aver-
age annual crop of the past five
year poriod has been 120,296,000
bushels'

pleasant hours with him and
his splendid wife. We found
him well fortified against the
present financial crisis. Ho
took a delight in showing us
about the place. The smoke-
house was packed and jamed
with cannod fruits, vegetables,
tomatoes, etc.; behind the smoke
house was a large potato bank
containing enough potatoes to
supply the farm; the barn was
orcening under the burden of
500 bushels of corn, with 25
more acres to gather; nine wag-
on loads of pumpkins were piled
hlgti in the loft together with a
lot of fine fodder; the output of
his ribbon cane patch was some-
thing over 200 gallons of the
best, syrup in the world; in the
the cow lot wore five young
calves including twinp; six big
hogs were being fattened for his
yearn supply of meat; a lot of
geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens
and pigeons gave assurance of
plenty poultry produce. We
wonder how many farmers in
Cass County are as well fixed as
Mr. Gamill.

ULON'T REACH IT.
This should be good news for
our energetic yojjng men and
young womeif *jio are desirous
of earning a good salary. The
U. J,S. Civil Service Department
has put out a most urgent ap-
peal for as mauy as can to at
obee' prepare for and take the
Civil Service examination for
stenographers and typists, at
salaries ranging from $840 to
$1200 per annum. There has
been five special elaminations
held in Tyler this year and an-
other is to be held this month.
This is one class of work that the
war didn't reach. Our American
Government is needing more help
than ever before for our present
administration has been an ex-
ceptionally active one. All lines
of business are looking brighter,
yet at all times the demand has
been greater than the supply for
telegraphy operators. The north
ern railroads are literally block-
ed in moving grain and handling
merchandise. One of the north-
ern roads within the last thirty
days, ordered ten young men
from the Tyler Commercial Col-
lege, Tyler Texas, at one time.
In less than two weeks they or-
dered five more and they have
now requested thisinstitution to
furnish them with all the men
they can properly qualify. This
together with the fact that the
United States Government has
addressed the Tyler Commercial
College six personal communica-
tions during the year, insisting
that their graduates take the
Civil Service examination, shows
there is. even in the hardest of
times, a demand for the gradu-
ates of the Tyler Commercial
College. The high class training
given by this institution fits its
graduates to go into the govern-
ment work at spleudid salaries
or into the best rnilrmtd offices,
direct„frorr the school room.
There is no use of our young
people sitting down and saying
they can't get work when it is a
positive fact ^hat they can enter
the Tyler Commercial College at
Tyler Texas and in three to five
months prepare themselves for a
splendid position at a beginning
salary of from $840 to $1200 per
year. Before I would stay idle
another week, I would write or
phone this institution for cata-
logue and full particulars and
make my arrangements to enter
at once that they might place me
in n good salaried positiou.
NOT PAINT
With linseed oil at 50c to $1.
what sort of oil do you think
they use in "paint" at $1 50 and
$1 25?
That stuff is counterfeit paint.
You can cheat yourself; you
can't cheat Time or Weather.
Paint is a rubbery coat over
wood aud iron to keep out wa-
ter.
Counterfeit paint may look
like it; counterfeit money looks
like money.
What are all countefeits for?
They are all alike.
