will find people in (Granger, strorji
and roru-t, in food health, complain
in^r about this and that.
Governor Miriaffi Ferguson gives
out the information that she wouht
like to unite some worthy young-
couple in marriage before turning
over th" reins of government to hoi-
successor, Dan Moody. Kow, this
is the chance for some couple to
start out in life anaw with a mark
distinct ion..
That firl bandit, altho an amateur
at the fame, proved to be a winner,
but a loser in the end, because she
pot caught with the goods. If Jesse
James could come back to earth, he
could, get some great lessons in
banditry, the modern method or net-
ting the coin without shooting up the
town.
This section of Texas, William-
son County, is the best in the land
and go where you will, you will not
find a better agricultural section.
Due to cotton, and that alone, condi-
tions are rot so good and som«
farmers are moving away to try
their luck in other sections of the
state. Why movp away from the
garden spot of Texas? Diversifica-
tion will, ir. time, change things a-
bout to such an extent that our pen-
pie will be blessed with prosperity.
All-cotton farming will never get re-
sults, but a rotation of crops, atten-
tion to poultry, a few good hog*,
garden and cows, will surely result
in success for the man who has the
ambition and determination to put
things over. Williamson County can
bo made the most, prosperous agri-
cultural County ir the world thru di-
versification. King Cotton no long-
er occupies that high position once
held and the farmer, no matter
where located, who continues to
plant all cotton, will eventually go
the bankrupt route. To diversify
is the only solution to a most intri-
cate problem ard when that, day
comes, our people will be the most
prosperous'.on the face of the globe.
_Tho crow of a rooster, the grunt of
a and a good .Jersey cow will
mean more to the people than all
the cotton that car be baled.
UK IT EVKIt SO HIM HI. E
It matters not that you live in a
mansion, or a tent; .whether you re-
side on ;v battleship, or a row-boat;
in a chateau or in a ravage; Broth-
er, there is no place like home. At
homo you put behind you the caro.fi
and worries of the outer world, and
recline in the restful arms of cuiirt
and peace. Forgot, are the petty
jealousies and the bargains of busi-
ness; all about is love and respect
and confidence for you. At home
you feel secure, and it should be this
way. Even birds and beasts foe!
secure in their homes, and will fight
to protect them. You should al-
ways fool a reveranco for a man's
home, for it is a sacred place. If a
man walks in your homo and does
not remove his bat, you should
knock it off. He should have more
respect for a place so sacred. If we
were going to pick a quarrel with a
man, we would never go to his home
to do so. We hope that Anvr.cir
homes will always bo hold in proper
respect and reveranco. And, may
we always keep them sacred.

MUSIC IN COLLEGES GAINS
100 PER CENT IN TEN YEARS

. Music Center Survey Shows.
By J. F
Music has become an indispensable
part of college life. It Is of Inestima-
ble value to the college proper, and
of great material and spiritual benefit
to the student who takes an active
part In it.
This Is the composite sentiment of
close to 200 presidents of American
colleges and universities and heads of
music1 departments in Institutions of
higher learning who contributed to a
survey of college music .)list completed
•by the r'onn Milste Center, Elkhart,
Ind. The survey shows that musical
training in colleges lias doubled in
popularity in ten years.
Music not only adds color to college
athletic events,.' supplements and
rounds out the varied activities of ho
caiupus. and assembly hail, but Is of
distinct .advantage to the member of
the ..lee cl'ib, the -sextette, the college
orchestra, band or whatever other or-

Students as Leaders.
Forty-six per cent of the colleges
reported hand and orchestra work as
part of their school curriculum. Five
per cent of the total enrollment of the
colleges are members of college bands
and orchestras, of which IS per cent
are women students', with the girls
playing almost exclusively In orches-
tras. Leaders for these college bands
are drawn f .r the most part from the
faculty ranks, th'onth some oolietres
use students 'as leaders and another
small group goes outside, for leader
talent.

will meet the healthiest club girls
from all parts of the country for na
tlonal honors, each state being rep
resented by Its champion health girl.
A similar contest for club boys will
also be conducted at the same time..,
Josephine Arnquist, state leader of
girls' club work In Iowa, says: "Al-
berta, who Is a farm girl from Linn
county, is a splendid example of a
club girl living up to the standards
of all-around development of head,
heart, hand and health for which 4-11
club work stands.
"Alberta Is a girl who lives up to
the rules of the health game. She
has been a 4-11 club girl for four
years where health Is emphasized
In some way at all regular club meet-
ings.
"Swimming Is her favorite sport, al-
though she Is fond of all gymnastic
work„ including folk dancing, volley
ball and Indoor baseball. She likes
outdoor ll<n..
"Alberta is n sophomore Id high
school. • In her freshman year she
averaged about 0(5 and ranked second
In her class. This shows how n good
body Is the basis on which to build
n good mind and a good disposition.
She Is an example of a rather re-
cently established fact that school
children showing the best physical
development make the best progress
In school.
Austrian Trains Field
Birds to Talk and Sing
ltayersdorf, Austria.—-In Austria the
starlings and nutcrackers talk and
sing, that Is, all those who go to
school to Mltssl llofer.
Frauleln llofer lias been touching
these two varieties of birds to talk
and sing for the last twenty years.
And, so successful has she been, that
customers Hook from all parts of Eu
rope to visit her cottage, and to buy
her birds.
She believes that fhe ability to sing
and talk Is strengthened through In-
heritance. Consequently she breeds
her birds with the greatest care and
has developed strains of nutcrackers
and starlings which are not equaled
as singers and talkers In nil Europe.
The starlings and nutcrackers g«
to school each morning, not Just hit or
miss, but In classes. The birds sit on
her head, on her shoulders, In her lap
and as she trills and talks to them. It
spurs them on to 'Imitative effort.

considered this the best argument for
.music In their college or university.
Others mentioned the social and cul-
tural advantages accruing to the mu-
sic student, the effect of music In re-
fining the student's taste for art, mu-
sic as an aid toward developing clear
thinking, improving the discipline and
enhancing the student's power of con-
centration, as well as making for bet-
ter team work and co-operation In col-
lege matters. Music on the campus
as an outlet for surplus energy and
as«a, help In getting. many youths
through school, was brought in by
mill others.
All but three of the' colleges repre-
sented' In the. survey find their mu-
sically trained students more efficient
in their studies than those not so
trained. "They usually make grades
above the average," is the experience
at Bethel college, In Tennessee, and
Del'iiul university at Chicago finds
"musically-trained pupils at the top
In their studies." At Wellesley col-
lege our best musical students are In-
"Horn Their Way Through."
"Iturning-one's way through college"
compares very favorably with other
methods of self support through the
College years, according to the college
exei-llthes contributing to the.survey.
Despite the comparatively limited op-
portunities offered in the average col-
lege town, fully one-fciurth of all the
students playing In the college hands
and orchestras are paying for their
education with their instruments.
Students' earnings range all the way
from board' and room, two-dollar-nn-
hour tuition fee, and up to two thou-
sand dollars a year. Twelve per cent
of the college executives in the sur-
vey tire of the opinion that playing
one's way through school pays better
than other means; another 12 per
cent thought It- offered an easier way
to make one's way through, while a
goodly number of others said that it
Interfered least with the students'
school work.
Saxophone Rate* High.
Among those playing their way
through college, the violin comes first
In the preference of instruments.
The saxophone is second choice of
college players, but seventh with girl
musicians. Piano Is the second fa-
vorite instrument with the girls, and
third with the boys. Cornet comes
fourth In the preference of both the
young men and women. Organ is the
next favorite with the boys, and flute
with the girls. Other instruments In
the order of favor with the young
men are the trumpet, the trombone,
the horn, drum, banjo and mandolin.
With the girls, It Is the drum, clarinet,
trombone, harp, -banjo, trumpet, organ
and mandolin.
A striking fact-brought out In the
survey was the close relation be-
tween music and student leadership.
Fully 40 per cent of all the outstand-
ing college students, class presidents,
student leaders, etc., are reported to
be playing some kind of an instru-
ment.
Music Fights Crime.
That music Is the greatest deterrent
to crime; is The opinion Voiced by the
dean of the college of music of New
York university, who wrote: "If we
were to organize a blind or orchestra
fti every -public school, "high school,
College, university, boys' or girls' club,
or place an .'Instrument- Into fhe hatfds
of every hoy or girl at an age when [
understanding and,, appreciation be-
come evident so that the child's mind
is aroused sufficiently to "make him
want to excel In the instrument
which he likes best, I believe that we
would have, In from ten to fifteen
years, from ,r>0 to 75 per cent less dope
fiends, criminals and gamblers In th*
United States."

lie continued by attributing the
I slump in his business all on account
of the abbreviated garments worn by
I the women nowadays.

j Then he put in ja little side remar-t
! which gave the impression that he
was doubtful if even the abbreviated
. ones were being used very extensive-
ly.
However, it goes to show that ev-
1 ory thing has its effect on someone
somewhere. For instance he pointed
out that not only has the supply of
old rags been considerably cut, but
there is also row a shortage of old
bottles. The green and black vn-
riety were especially saleable in the
old days, but they have all disap-
reared, and one is not able to find
any of them any more. Mr. Vol-

do with this, and or. this account.

After discussing the matter a lit-
tle with him a lot. of information
was gathered as to this junk busi-
! ness, anyway. The old woolen rags
go back to the mills and are used
with good wool in the manufacture
of the lower, grades of cloth. The
i cotton rags are used in the manufae-
| ture of paper. The feed bags, of
j which there is a steadily decreasing
i number on account of the numer-
ous automobiles are sold to manu-
facturers of tar paper, roofing ant?

The old paper which Is gathered
is used in the (manufacture of card-
hoard, and there are some of these
junk -commodities which are used in
the manufacture of imitation leath-
or.
Every automobile wreck provides
something worth while to the junk-
man. Injured tires, and parts front
wrecked machines are' sold at fair

pectancy which causes him to con-
