There is plenty of room for the he

Now for
Europe.
a clean-up campaign In
chance and fate often turn the tide
of affairs in a way to bring results
that cannot be foretold by any system
of calculation. If the outcome of a
war could ba foretold there would be
no need tor fighting.
We suggest to r our friends, the
public, that they refrain from taking
sides In th« European conflict The
United States Is not wholly free from
peril, and we need to know which of
the nations will J e friends to us fn
the event of entangling developments.
We trust that each great nation will
allow moving pictures to be made of
their armies, to the end that we may
have some war scenes at the theatres
that will have some men in them. This
thing of stalling off war scenes with
a squad o* hired hands for an army
does not appeal to one who likes to
view soldiers in the mass.
There Is ground for congratulations
In the evident fact that all Americans
in the trouble zone of Europa have so
far succeeded in k< eping themselves
abovv. suspicion. It would require
small provocation to Involve them in
charges of spying. Perhaps there are
no boneheads among the bunch that
went on the European tour.

say, "thinks he can bump us, his fig-

they go weavln', to grind their scalp-

all the bores are ever watching for
him, throughout the land, around his
pathway wrestling, Gotching, to shake

Ruin and trains wait for no man.
So, if you want to keep dry and if
you want to travel on time—
You've got to step.
Suppose you do stub your toe now
and then. Make up the time lost by
picking yourself up quickly. Then get
a quick catch of vision on your objec-
tive point. For if you get there—
You've got to step.
Is the fellow behind you crowding
up and are you getting nervous be-
cause you feel he will get your place?
Well, he will if you don't keep alert,
plug and peg away, remembering—
You've got to step.
Progress moves ahead—It never lags
to the rear. You never hear of the
loafers and the hesitators holding the
reins and driving the band wagon. So,
if you want to be among those leading
the procession and commanding the
crowd—
Vou've got to step.
The postofflce department has barred
hell from the mails; that Is, when It Is
visible. The decision was rendered In reply
to an Inquiry by a Florida postmaster, who
discovered the word on a aumber ef post-
cards, and wrote to the department for a
ruling. The question was referred to the
law department (Uid a reply came from the
assistant attorney general that cards con-
taining the objectionable word are unmall-
able. Such synonyms as war, sheol and
gehenna may still be used.—Waco News.
Hell Is the name of the place where
evil spirits dwell. There is a popular
superstition that the use of the word
constitutes profanity, but why it
should be so viewed is more or less
of a mystery. The sugar-coated Greek
and Hebrew words pass freely, though
carrying the same meaning. The gov-
ernment may bar the word from post
cards if it wants to but it should not
be classed among words that are evil
or immoral.
A couple of young men were arrested
last Friday evening as they were traveling
through town, on a warrant from Alto,
charging them with stealing corn from a
farmer's field near that town. The young
men were traveling in a hack, returning to
their home In La Rue, and on the evening
before their arrest camped near a field aui
helped themselves to the corn in the field.
They were placed In Jail here.—Cherokee
Sun.
The young men should not have
taken the corn In the way that it is
claimed that they took It, but let all
of those who have never fed from
another man's corn field be the first
to condemn them.
On paper It looks as If the Triple
"Entente, consisting of England, France an1
Russia, with JnpRn ready to help, would
hopelessly overshadow the Triple Alliance,
consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary and
Italy, but the armies and the resources of
Germany alone are so vast anU her pre-
paredness for war so excellent that even
with the whole world against her the father-
land would make a formidable antagonist.
On the sea the Triple Entente has an over-
powering advantage, but on the land the
Triple Alliance can hold Its own without
great disadvantage.—Beaumont Enterprise.
That Is a very good review of the
situation and the kind that we like to
reproduce for the benefit of our read-

a source of information to all of those
who desire to keep posted upon the
situation without hating to read a

your eye on this column if you have
little time to read and you will find
that you can discuss the situation
fairly well with the average reader.

Will Have Big Show.
At the meeting held Monday after-
noon it was decided to have the Collin
Oounty Poultry Show on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, December 9,
10 and 11. All indications now point
w!tl»out variation to the fact that the
show this year will far exceed any
previously held here. There will not
be less than four hundred birds in the
show. Some of the fine chicken
breeders from all over Texas will send
birds to the show. The Collin county
p ultry raisers should begin right now
to get their birds in trim for the show,
and thereby endeavor to keep all
premiums at home. Every citizen in
Collin county who believes in improv-
ing the poultry industry, and is not
already a member of the institute, is
requested to become a member im-
mediately. — McKinney Courier-Ga-
zette.
Let's make Intelligence tlie test of a man's
right to vote.—John McLendon in Longview
Leader.
What kind of intelligence? The
kind that enables a man to parse
Latin verbs or the kind that enables
him to raise hogs? When we hear
a man talking about making intelli-
gence the test of a man's right to vote
we suspicion that he has reference
to his own particular kind of intel-
ligence, which may be no better than
that of some other fellow who would
be barred when the idea is written
into the law.
England's board of agriculture has re
ported sufficient wheat on hand to furnish
bread for the entire population for four
months, Irrespective of Importations. Four
months! Suppose the war should last four
years! The posslbllty Is staggering, and
shows beyond question the United States
has a job before It.—Bryan Eagle.
The most of the war will go out
with the dy!*ig vear, no doubt. It
can hardly be expected that It will
last for a long time. As to the job
that the United States has on Its hand
you have not made yourself plain or
easy to be understood.

Can quite a fast stand;
And through these odd capers gets

All over the land.
The forty-day faster, at his trade a
master,
He plays a queer game.
A queer game he's playing; to use an
old saying,
He hungers for fame.
As usual, armies and navies will decide
every issue, and aerial craft. In their practi-
cal application, will probably prove no less
disappointing than submarines, which were
hailed as certain exterminators of battle-
ships as they existed at the time of the sub-
marine's Invention.—Corpus Chrlstl Caller.
Nevertheless the flying machines
will have a word to say that must be
reckoned with. If one nation had
flying machines and the other had
none the machines might prove to
be the balance of power in the fight-
ing.
Just So.

Rain today came an a blesslnr to the
San Marroa country. The floods of winter
and spring were no heavy and Incessant
here that many were led to believe that
there would be no suffering for rain in
1914, but the limit has been reached and the
rain today is providential.—San Marcos
Times-Herald. *
We have also had a fine rain in the
Temple territory. It came Juat at
the right time to spoil Temple's an-
nual dollar day bargain sales, but that

can be attended to on some other day
while it Insures better crop conditions
and prospects for the fall season and
preparation for the crops of next year.
Q. Tell samethtag about the shipment of
ladybuga to Oh leaser—Hank Dewberry,
A. We do not know what you have
reference to unless It ts the several millions
of ladykva* packed ta Ice-bound crates,
which earns Into Chicago by eipresa In the
summer mi lilt to attend the International
Refrigeration exposition. It might be well
enough to state ken. however, that the
buss knew nothing about it. for they ware
(rosea beyond feeling. They were shipped
to show how refrigeration preserves life.
0. What ta tha speed record far a tor-
pedo boat?—Gunner.
A. For the United States navy the speed
record waa broken on June ttth. 1(12, by
the torpedo boat destroyer, Pauline, when
that boat made ta a full speed test an
average of tl.T knots for two hours.
Q. What country spends the most money
each year for the upkeep of its army, and
how much Is it T Does all the money spent
by the War Department of the United Btatea
go directly for the upkeep of the army
and navy?—Tax payer.
A. Great Britain spends more money
than any other country for the upkeep of
a military system, managing to get away
with $841,839,000 annually. Russia la sec
ond, spending abeat 1120,000,000 each year.
The War Department of the United States
does not spend for actual preparation for
war the amount that Is charged to that
department annually. The sum glvea that
department Includes expenditures for river
and harber works, which are %ferled on by
the War Department, and for things not
at all military In their nature, though under
the jurisdiction of that department. Not-
withstanding all this, however, we manage
to spend upwards of 1200,000,00 every year
on our fighting machinery.
Q. A bet Is made on a certain team In
th» M. T. L. that they don't win, They are
on the bottom now and thO guy says he
don' I pay because the season is shortened.
Which wins?—Z. X. Y.
A. It Is not within the province of thle
department to settle bets. However, we
can answer your question in a specific way
by stating that the team which Is at the
bottom of the percentage column when
the season closes, certainly does not win the
pennant, and it would seem that the fellow
who said they would win has lost.
Q. What Is a "moratorium?" Hava seen
It mentioned In several articles In youf
paper recently.—Subscriber, Miles. Texas.
A. It Is simply an emergency act of
legislation authorizing, a bank er debtor te
suspend payment for a given period.
Q. Is there any difference between a
white lie and a pure old falsehood?—Per-
fect.
A. Yes; a white lie Is simply a little fib,
aa untruth told without evil Intent. Better
not get in the habit of telling them, though;
for It la liable to grow on yon. .
Q. Tell me what has become of Harry
K. Thaw? Will he ever go back to the
Tombs ?—M. N.
A. Harry and hla guards are doabtless
still enjoying their vacation on some of
the pleasant atreama In New Hampshlre>
though Mr. Tliaw has not figured in our
A. P. reports for some time. He will never
go back to the Tombs. However, he may
eventually be returned to the asylum from
which he made his escape.
Q. Do you think It best for one to have
a good education before entering a school
for nursing?—Agnes O.
A. Yes, Agnes, the better educated the
woman and the higher her character, the
better nurse she will make.
Q. Give me two or three examples of
psychological moments. What Is meant
by the hypothetical question you sometimes
see mentioned In novels or hear folks
talking about?—R. R.
A. Three balls, two strikes, two out, bases
full, tie score, last half of ninth Inning;
Nurse to Jones: "Twins, sir—-and wait; I'll
see." The hypothetical question Is, "Will
you marry me?"
Q. How many cases of leprosy are there
In Texas? Who Is president of American
Medical association?—Dr., San Antonio,
Texas.
A. About fifty. Dr. W. I,. Rodman, a
prominent surgeon of Philadelphia. He Is
a former resident of Abilene, Texas, and
Is now professor of surgery in one of the
leading medical colleges of the United
States.
Q. What Is "dumboy?"—Reader.
A. It Is the national dish of Liberia, and
one of the gastronomic wonders of the
world. If allowed to stand after being
prepared for the table It becomes very hard,
broken pieces of It being a favorite kind of
shot for use In the long muszle-loadlng
gans of the natives. A casing of dumboy Is
also used to stiffen the leather sheaths of
the native's swords and knives.
Q. What are the leading poultry pro-
ducing states?—Turkey raiser, Lampasas,
Texas.
A. Iowa raises about 20,000,000 chickens
a year. Illinois raises very nearly aa many
and so does Missouri. Ohio la fourth In
the list. In the number of ducks, geese
and turkeys, Texas is first with a total of
nearly a million and a half; Missouri second,
Illinois third and Iowa fourth.

Easy to Remain Submerged Two Min-
utes U You Know How.
Occasionally we see depicted In the
photo play a picture of death, in
which, watch as closely aa possible, we
can detect no breathing motion of the
"dead" man. Of course the period of
exposure to the camera may be only
a few seconds, and most people can
easily hold the breath for 30 or 40
seconds.
But a. certain film, soon to be re-
leased, shows a scene in which a man
lies exposed for 160 seconds, or two
and two-thirds minutes, during which
time he takes no breath. How does
he do it—or rather, how does he not
do it?
As a matter of fact anybody can,
with a bit ot preliminary practice,
hold the breath for two minutes by
the watch, even though 40 seconds
seems the breaking point when a man
is first tested.
The reason we breathe on an aver-
age of 20,000 times a day is that car-
bondioxide gas accumulates in the
blood at a certain rate, and thla gas
stimulates the breathing center, caus-
ing inspiration of fresh air. Now If
the— were a way to reduce the pro-
portion of carbon-dioxide in the blood,
even for a brief interval, one could
get along nicely without any air for
a while. And this is just what the
'movie" actor did In his 1(0 seconds
of apparent breathlessness. Here Is
the trick. R Is perfectly harmless.
Any one may try it.
You sit comfortably in a chair and
take It deep breaths of air through
the open mouth each minute for two
or three minutes. Don't breathe too
deeply, and don't force the air out,
but let it rush out naturall., except
that the mouth is to be kept open.
Then hold your breath and count the
seconds on your watch. Tou can
stick it out to the two-minute point
easily; with a few trials your confi-
dence Increases, and you can go al-
most, if not quite, to the three-minute
mark without taking another breath.
In drowning, experts declare,
asphyxiation commences after about
two minutes of submersion. By the
preparation described it is a Simple
trick for anybody to remain submerg-
ed for two minutes or more without
even getting short-winded, provided
no physical exertion la attempted.
To persons who are not initiated'
into the art of holding the breath, It
seer , almost uncanny when one
shows a two-minute record, especially
If the preliminary forced breathing Is
kept secret. A man, who had tested
this thing thoroughly and satisfied
himself of the truth of the statements
made. Inveigled some friends into a
brsath-holdtng contest and won out
easily on his two-minute stunt—Tech-
nical World Magazine.
MIDSUMMER.
Hot midsummer's petted crone,
Sweet to mi thy drowsy tone
Tells of countless sunny hours.
Long davs and solid banks of flowers!
Of gulfs of sweetness without bound
In Indian wilderness found;
Of Syrian peace. Immortal leisure.
Firmest cheer and bird-like pleasure.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
A Gainesville auto driver was tell-
ing that he could stop his car going
40 miles an hour, in twelve feet.
"Chuck," another auto expert, was
asked where the man would go If he
stopped his oar going forty miles an
hour in twelve feet and replied: "That
would depend on how ha had been
living."—Gainesville Register.
"The church should not maintain Its
hold on mankind through fear. That
is a relic of barbaric age. Fear of
anything is destructive. The emotion
of fear brews deadly toxins in the
human body. Mind and body are
slowly undermined and destroyed by
fear. Love should rule the world
through religion as well as In other
ways."—Dr. Henry Munro.
If Governor Ferguson wants to do
the right thing fer Texas he will
appoint Dr. M. M. Carrick to the im-
portant position of State Health Of-
ficer. Dr. Carrick is the man who
has already delivered the goods and
everyone knows what he can and will
do. The Favorite knows what he has
accomplished in Bonham and many
other Texas cities,. and we would be
very glad indeed to see him appoint-
ed as State Health Officer.—Bonham

ll,tNIMat:
at
Oh, the dear days! Oh, the sweet
days! How the summer loves the
land,
How the summer loves the land.
How she lavishes her riches, giving
them with eager hand;
Green of grass and rainbow glory
where the bright flowers blossom
free.
Gold of Grain and feathery foliage
where bare hillsides used to be.
Calm, clear water with wonder of the
skies imprisoned fast.
Vagrant south winds bearing fra-
grance on their pinions wander
past,
Oh, the warm days! Oh, the long
days! Each a sequence of delight
From the early morn till noontime,
from the noontime till the night.
We may find nepenthe's waters, drink
and set our spirits free
From the shadow of past sorrows,
from the fear of griefs to be;
For the golden cup of summer over-
flows each happy day;
In your heart enshrine its gladness,
for It soon will pass away!

titude of 1«,200 feet, a height that
made his aeroplane appear like
speck ta the 1I.0M persons whe look-
ed oa from the ground. Once dur-
ing the flight Thompson and his ma-
chine entirely disappeared from view,
being hid behl.id a cloud.
When Thompgon alighted he was
glvea much applause. He complained
of roaring la hla ear drums, and he
vea bleeding at the mouth. He said,
however, that he needed enly a few
minutes to recover, and soon walked
from the field.
"The world'g altitude record will be
a cinch to beat," said Thompson later.
The world'g record la about JM00
feet, which waa made by a Frenchman
at Paris. The American record la
about 11,610 feet, made at Chicago by
Lincoln BeaeT ey.
Thompson was to have tried to low-
er the world'g record yesterday. A
specially constructed machine, how-
ever, failed to arrlvi and the attempt
waa postponed.

TO COMMEMORATE LEGEND.
Monument May Ba Erected to Avia-
tion's First Martyr.
Paris. Aug. t.—The proposal to
erect a monument ta avaiatioa'a first
martyr, the legendary Icerus, at Caa-
dia In the Island of Crete, haa been
revived. The Idea first originated with
Henry Deutscb, tha eminent pioneer
of aviation la France, after a visit to
Greece three years ago. The spot
chosen Is above the elty of Candle,
between the two promontories which
dominate Kuossos.
There, according to the legend,
stood the labyrinth where Daedalus
and Icarus were Imprisoned by Minos,
tyrant of Crete, and visitors are shown
the worship In which the two captives,
to escape, made the first flying ma-
chine of birds wings stuck together
with wax. Now that Crete has be-
come again Greek territory nothing
stands in the way of the realisation ef
this scheme, which would commemo-
rate at once one of the greatest vic-
tories of modern science and one of
the most graceful fables of ancient
mythology.
An air race from Paris to Candia is
being considered as a fitting compllt-
men of the inauguration ceremonies.
FRENCH DUELS.
Their Severity Depends on the Offense
Given.
Paris, Aug. (.—Many of the duels in
France end without bloodshed. When
the offense is not very serious it is
agreed beforehand that the words of
command shall be given so rapidly
that the duelists will not have time to
take good aim. Sometimes three shots
are exchanged without a hit, and then
the seconds step in and "honor is sat-
isfied." At the word "Fire!" the pistol
is raised instanly, and it must be dis-
charged not later than the word
"three" so the speed with which these
words are given regulates the time in
which it is possible to take aim.
Therefore the speed with which they
are spoken is agreed on beforehand,
this depending upon the seriousness of
the duel. The words are timed with a
metronome. If the encounter be very
serious this is set at the lowest speed,
eighty beats a minute, which gives
time for taking accurate aim. A
speed of 140 beats a minute allows no
time for aiming, and, therefore, Is
used when seconds think the duel
should be made aa little dangerous as
possible.

Native Had Been Proclaimed "God"
and Lived in Luxury.
A CUSTOMER SAID:
"Say, Mr. Downs, how
about this European
war; is it going to make
money tight?"
The answer to the man
and in general to others
is that while no one may
foretell what such a stu-
pendous war will bring
forth, all the indications
point to the United
States riding the wave
successfully, with the
government providing
against the Panic which
might have been expect-
ed with the interruption
of our foreign commerce
and financial relations.
There is no reason to ex-
pect a money panic;
there may be temporary
troubles in marketing
cotton, not for lack of
money but from disturb-
ance of transportation
and due to confusion in
European manufacturing
centers. The .money
situation is provided for.

Sydney, N. S. W., Aug. 8.—''Vakft-
curuluvenlvai," a middle-aged aborigi-
nal who was revered as a god and as
"the eldest son of the devil" among
the Fijians of Tallevu, has been sen-
tenced at Suva to six weeks' impris-
onment with hard labor. ,
The "devil deity" had for some time
exerted a powerful influence over the
credulous natives who, denying them-
selves the barest necessities, maintain-
ed him in luxury in a shrine specially
erected in his honor In the hilly dis-
trict of Tallevu, where he gave him-
self up to the wildest orgies at their
expense.
A crowd af the "god's" disciples
followed him on his arrrat to Levukka
and surrounded the offices of tha dis-
trict commissioner and howled, beat
their breasts and tore their hair as
sentence was passed.
