THE LIAR.
P'
R
0 Notice is hereby served upon the anti-prohibition cam-
paign committees of Dallas county, McLennan, Williamson
and other counties in which prohibition campaigns are now
on that there are practically no vacant business houses in
[Temple—fewer, in fact, than there have been in many,
many years.
Were it not serious, it would be amusing to observe the
lengths to which campaign committees will go in an effort
to win votes in a prohibition election. While much decep-
tion is invariably practiced in all political campaigns, the
palm for championship liars goes easily to the anti-prohibi-
tion campaign committees.
A few years hence, after this troublesome question has
been finally settled, once for all, the people will look back
upon the period when prohibition campaigns were numer-
ous and bitter, with a shudder and a sense of shame.
When a prohibition campaign gets in a weaving way, all
thoughts of justice are tossed to the winds; truth is totally
disregarded, and every method, regardless of how disrepu-
table ,is called into play to win votes. Of all human vul-
tures, deliver us from the liar. Of him W. C. Brann once
said: "A liar wHI steal, and a thief will disgrace his parents
and dishonor his country, if sired by satan and spawned in
hell."

"Let lis once get in the habit of
cultivating fruit trees and Texas will
soon became as liberally dotted with
orchards as are some of the older
states," declares the Ban Antonio
Express, That seems a reasonable
opinion, but there Is some doubt of
its expediency unless the nurserymen
of Texas do their duy as ahey have
never done before. For instance,
the peach tree is short lived in this
section of Texas because the nursery-
man will not go to the trouble to get
new stock from wild trees. They
should get a hardy stock in some way,
even though they must go to the
Siberian wilds lor something that
will stand the conditions in Central
Texas. The people at the earliest
time tried to grow peaches in this
section. Where are the orchards
now? Must we depend upon Hoover
to fire us the right kind of nursery
stock for peach trees?

A sign over a recruiting station in an eastern city read:

Webster's dictionary says a goat is a "ruminating horned

All Temple should turn out this evening and help give the

The best example of German efficiency is that made famous
through the starting of the war. By a mistake the German
army was mobilized, and having been mobilized, it had to go
to war. Any less efficient syntem would have made provision
for avoiding war, even though the army had been mobilized.
George M. Bailey, particular para-
grapher for the Houston Po*t, lets
loose hl» sentiment regarding he
reoent prohibition election campaign:
"Owe, what a relief to be rid of fcll
the drivel, bunk, piffle, Junk, tom-
myrot, tomfoolery, drool and balder-
dash that both Bides emitted. Honest,
tat tlnves they reeled oft stuff as If
they believed they were addressing a
community of idiots." Those who
were engaged in this terrible experi-
ence should reform, remembering in
future campaigns that the majority
of the people will remain in the com-
munity after the election and they
»honld be treated in such manner
that they may still be friends.
Thirty-four citiiens of Nacogdoches
have signed their names to the fol-
lowing declaration of Independence
and had It printed in the Sentinel.
"We, the undersigned residents of
North street, hereby serve notice
to all racers and speeders of auto-
mobiles that we are tired of North
street, being used as a speedway and
ra.ee course. We take this method
of saying to you ahnt we have bound
ouaeives to indifit each and every one
hereafter seen speeding and racing on
said street." The speedincs will have
to move over.
"The housewives of Santa Anna
have been busy this week canning
peaches from the Heath orchard,"
according to Santa Anna News.
Canning and drying fruits and vege-
tables as a thrift practice receiving
greater encouragement at this time
than ever before. Just our luck,
however, there are fewer things to
can and dry than ever before. If
we ever do have another good crop
of things to dry and can we will
dry and can them to a fare you well,
will we not?

QUESTION BOX
By Charles \V. Ingram.
Q. Wh© wa« railed "the watchdog of
the treasury V—hiterMted.
A. The name va? applied to William 8
HoSman, formerly representative in congress
from Indiana. He was called "the great
o!.j*ctur" because of his utrnistence iu ob-
jecting to item* in appropriation bills.
Q. Wasn't Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, author
of 'The Battle Hyinu of the Republic," a
lawyer and u pieacher ?—Historian.
A. She sometimes occupied pulpits and
preached, but she never read law. After her
coJehratsd poem becuma popular, however,
Tirown university, where her grandfather
And her husband had graduated, conferred
on her the degree of doctor of laws.
Q. Are the little fishes cailad minnows
good to eat ?—Alii Kinketch.
A. We do not know of any reason why
they should not be edible. They are of
cleanly habits, free from Impurities, and
though small, quite meaty. GUI Ixaak Wal-
ton in his Angler describes the minuows and
says: "Jn the spring they make of them
excellent minnow tansies, lor being washed
well In salt, and their heads and tails cut
off, and their guts taken out, and not
washed after, they prove excellent for that
use, that is being fried with yolks of
eggs. The flowers of cowslips and of prim-
roses and & little tansy thus used, they
make a dainty bit of meat," The popular
English dish of whitebait is much like
mlnuows, but Its edibility all depends on its
preparation and manner of cooking. The
minnow should not be despised as an article
of food merely because it is so small. What
Isaak Walton called a tansy was au old-
fashioned name of u little stew, or meat
pie.

Workday Affairs.
Tes, truly, there are other things
than captains, catapults and kings, of
which we should be thinking; we
all have errands to pursue, and divers
things we ought to do, with energy
unshrinking. It's well to talk about
the war, ot all the carnage 1 abhor,
at Quitting time or later, but if 1
use the boss's time to talk of Kaiser
Willielm's crime, I am a selling
plater. X go on duty every day, and
wrap up packages of hay, attending
to our patrons; my thoughts are all
on how iu please such useful custom-
ers as these, the monied men and
matrons. "This clerk is worth of
his hire;" so says the boss, and 1 de-
sire to have him think so always; so
on his customers 1 wait, and try to
keep my smile on straight, above my
sorrel galways. But when the even-
ing whistle blows, 1 talk of swords
and things like those, and toast the
bloody kaiser; til] 9 o'clock I paint
things red, and then it's time to go
to bed, for I'm an early riser. All
day my mind's on rice and prunes,
on taking in the picayunes, to help
my good employer; I do not think I
have a right to slosh around in blood
till night, when I'm a grim destroy-
Koott.
In a recent speech before the Union
League club in New York, former
Senator Elihu Boot used these strong
words;
There are men walking the streets
of this city tonight who ought to be
taken out at sunrise and shot. They
are doing work for Germany under
false pretenses and are lying ubout it.
If we are competent for our liberty
we will find them out and get them.
Every one of us can help by telling
to the authorities all we know and
hear.
It is only a matter of time when
we will iret these spies and traitors.
We can't be fooled or played with
too long.
Mr. Boot Is no hothead spouting Ir-
responsible (-tuff, but one of the clear-
est thinkers of the country. He was
speaking of conditions that are not
confined to New York and several
centers of population, but to general
conditions.
There are men in almost every
town and city of the United' States
who could not be*of greater assistance
to Germany if they were transported
bodily to the German empire to serve
the kaise*.
They preach pacifism. Industrial
slacking, military shirking and prate
of the war regulations which hare
been invoked to secure the liberty of
the country.
They are pandering to every senti-
ment or interest that is hostile to
the purposes of the United States.
When the casualty lists begin to be
flashed from France the men and wo-
men of this country who are sacri-
ficing their sons upon the country's
altar are riot going to tolerate such
enemies in their midst. And that
time Is almost here.—Houston Post.

J
A Cream Che<'k Evory Wwk.
I should like to tell readers of the
Farmers Mail and Breeze what a few
cows have done for roe in the last
few years. I bought an upland farm
seven years ago. It is 160 acres, with
about SO acres In pasture. I find
that the pasture paj-s me as well as
the farm land does, altho in 1915 my
corn made an average of 75 bushels.
The eight to 10 milk cows I keep
always supply the houce, and also
provide money for other things. 1
keep grade Shorthorn and Polled
Durham cows. The best heifers I
raise for milk cows, and those that do
not prove to be good milkers are sold.
Last year I milked seven cows, and
sold $57.60 worth of cream from
every cow. Besides this the cows sup-
plied the table with 1 pounds of but-
ter a week, and 2 quarts of milk and
a pint of cream a day. Also I gold
five calves for $155, and kept my
best ones. You notice I have not
oounted anything for the skimmilk
for the pigs.
I am writing this in the hope that
someone who Is now growing grain
exclusively will try milking a few
cows. If we get the moisture I can
produce double the crops I could
seven years ago when I moved to this
place. The cows make the difference
iu the fertility of the soil. My cows
are not fed grain. They have a good
warm barn and plenty of alfalfa hay,
corn stalks, and some corn fodder and
kafir hay.
If It had not been for my cows I
know that I never could have paid
my Interest and taxes in the last
seven years. I live northeast of
Clifton, and I have seen things pretty
dry here, but I always had a cream
check every week. If a man Is not
too lazy to milk, both he and his
