Encampment Boys Hear Talks On
Variety of Interesting Topics
Some of Them Relate to Judging and Caring for Livestock,
and Some to Judging and Caring for Boys—Told That
Nation's Most Successful Men Come from Farms.
"Many of the nation's most suc-
cessful men are raised on the farm,"
said Secretary C. D. Wolfe of the Tem-
pi* Young Men's Christian associa-
tion, In an address to the Agricultural
club boys who are encamped at Bel-
ton for three days this week. Henry
Ford, William Jennings Bryan and
Mr. Studebaker were enumerated as
being country boys, who had made
good in the world. Mr. Wolfe said
that the world was looking for good
men whether from the country or the
city. He especially encouraged the
boy of limited means. The remaind-
er of his talk was on the dangers of
the cigarette habit. He said in part:
"Luther Burbnnk says that a cig-
arette smoker can not do the delicate
work of budding in connection with
plant development. He says that a
boy who smokes is like a watch in
which some" one has put some sand.
Henry Ford says that the cigarette
smoker is hopelessly handicapped. Ef-
ficiency tests in the Ford factory
•how that the cigarette smoker Is the
first to go down. Edison says that
he will not employ a cigarette smok-
er in his big plant, the biggest of Its
kind in the world. He says that cig-
arette smoking is one of the most of-
fensive and harmful habits acquired
by man.
The extra strain on the blood ves-
sels of the brain due to causes which
scientists say can never he fully built
up again, Prof. A. D. Bush, one of
the world's greatest psychologists,
says that cigarette smokers are 10.5
per cent less efficient irt r mental
way than non-smokers, considering
the general average of all smokers
and non-smokers. A test was recent-
ly completed in the State agricultural
college in Kansas, where fifty smok-
ers and a like unmber of non-smok-
ers were compared in their work In
their studies. The examination av-
erage of the smokers was 62 1-2 per
cent, while that of the non-smokers
was 80 per cent. Eighty-one per cent
of the smokers had to drop out while
only 19 per cent of the non-smokers
were dropped.
Discussing the effcet of cigarettes
on the body we will take the heart
as a basis. The heart is a wonderful
mechanism. It beats seventy-two
times a minute. After smoking the
heart beats increase to 89 beats a
minute—taking the average of all ex-
periments. Each beat of the heart
amounts to the work required to lift
two pounds. The. heart lifts thirty-
four pounds a minute more than It
ought to after smoking cigarettes, The
heart is worn out and the body is
torn down.
"One drop of nicotine on the shaven
skin of a rabbit will cause death to
ensue in a few minutes. A drop
placed on the tongue will kill the cat
in seventy-eight seconds. One drop
is enough to kill forty bull frogs.
Nicotine is one of the most poisonous
drugs known except prussic acid.
Mr. Wolfe closed his talk with a

the story of the various stages through
which he passed and described his
death and his appeal to bis younger
brother to leave cigarettes alone. He
also told of another incident where
a man had a trained boa constrictor
which was under perfect control It
was under his power to such an ex-
tent that be would allow the thirty-
five foot snake to wrap Itself around
his body, but ono day the instinct
of the snake to crush its victim as-
serted Itself and the cracking bones,
bruised flesh and cries of the man
in his dying agonies told the itory of
another man who trusted hii power
too much and allowed the treacher-
ous snake to cause his death.
The boys listened with breathles.s
nttention to all of the talk, which was
illostrated with charts and pictures,
many of them taken from actual life.
After the lecture the boys crowded
around to have another look at the
pictures and to ask question*. Mr.
Wolfe performed an experiment with
a gold fish In water, showing the ef-
fects of nicotine on animals and the
fish was killed. People present said
that It was the best talk on the ef-
fects of the cigarette they had ever
heard. Mr. Wolfe has been collect-

is well qualified to discuss the sub-

STATE AC.KNT MKKTS BOYS.
lias \ Isitetl Five Encani|>tncms Finds
TWs the Best.
Yesterday morning the enllrc en-
campment marched down to met 11.
H. Williamson, the state agent for
the boys' agricultural clubs. Mr. Wil-
liamson expressed his appreciation of
the welcome extended by the 150 boys
when he got up to talk, lie said the
boys made a magnificent sight. He
stated that ho had visited five en-
campments so far and that the Bell
county one was the largest in tho
state. Te also stated that Bell coun-
ty was hte first in tho state to organ-
ize an encampment and that it had
set a magnificent example. The boys
were warned not to let other clubs
outstrip theirs next year. Reference
was made to the talk by Mr. Wolfe
and the great opportunities of Bell
county boys were stressed. Boys
should be contended. The dissatis-
fied boy can not do his best. Mr.
Williamson said in part:
"Boys are the Index of the commu-
nity. How many hoys have all the
money you want? Never be satisfied
with present degree of success. A
magazine writer reporting an inter-
view with Ogden Armour, the great,
packer, quoted Mr. Armour as saying
that the secret of the success of his
plant was In that Armour promoted
men who did the usual things in an
unusual way. Jerry Moore, who
raised 228 bushels of corn to an acrc
was doing a usual thing (raising
corn, in an unusual way. Show all
unwillingness to fall into a rut. Do
things in an unusual way.
"Bell county boys are in danger
because the soil here is so rich. The
county demonstration agent's pres-
ence does not insinuate that peoplo
do not knew how to farm any more
than the presence of good schools in-
sinuates that people are ignorant.
Scientific farming Is not book farm-
ing. According to Webster science
means an accumulation of knowledge.
The science of farming Is an accumu-
lation of the known tilings about
farming. The art of applying the
known things to the practice of farm-
ing is the great thing. The experi-
ence of successful farmers all over
the country is gathered and consti-
tutes a part of the known things
about farming. Experiment stations
furnish knowledge. They conduct ex-
periments to learn. These farmers
who farm by rule are Mowed up when
the drouth comes because the rule
does not cover the drouth. Princi-
ples should he followed and not rules.
These principles worked out and ap-

Mr. Williamson then paid a trib-
ute to the work of Mr. Persons and
Mr. Richardson, and stressed the
importance of co-operation, He asked
each boy to get another boy to Join.

EEARX1NG TO Jl'DGE CATT1JK.
Mr. 1 'ou Finds l.'iO Youtisrsters an In-
terested Audience.
Two fine looking cows were brought
brought to the encampment grounds
during the day and R. L. l'ou. dairy
specialist of the extension department
of A. it M. college, talked to the boys
about how to judge dairy cattle .The
boys formed a circle around the cows
and listened with interest.. Mr. Pou's
address was substantially as follows:
"There are two types of rattle, beef
and dairy animals. Th" beef type is
constituted to convert feed into beef
and to do if economically. The dairy
cow on the other hand converts feed
into milk and butter fat and is not
expected to serve as a beef animal.
The two types are separate.
"In judging a dairy cow there are
four points to lie taken Into consid-
eration, constitution, capacity, highly
developed nervous system, and tt well
developed blood system. When judg-
ing a cow's constitution you should
look for large nostrils, which wi'l per-
mit lota of air t'i
The chest should be deep. The. fore
legs should be wide apart. The skin
should be soft, thin and pliable. The
hair should be smooth. Rough hair
shows that Romeiino , is t,
with the digestion of the food, l.-.i v.
capacity means blood is purified and
that the milk, which is connected
with the blood supply, will have a
better opportunity to develop.
"In judging capacity you should
look for a long, wide and deep bar-
rel. Capacity means that the cow can
consume largo quantities of feed and
turn it into milk and butter fat. The
Udder should Ivive capacity. It should
be large ami free from surplus flesh.
It should go far up in front and far
hack behind. The distance from hip
to pin bone is usually tin1 distance
from the front of the udder to the
bark anil this distance should be as
far as possible. Width is denoted
by dist,'lure from pin bone to pin
bone. Width of udder is also import-
ant.
The cow whose nervous system is
right will usually have a large prom-
iiiint e\e, sometimes called popeye.
The ribs should lie far apart, the
back bone joints far apart and the
backbone itself should be large.
"!.ni:;e v.iua Judicata capacity. The
wells through which they enter the
barrel of the <ow should be large.
The Veins should be branching, large
and long. The milk wells are at. tho
front end of the veins.
Dairy cows are being sold for beef
all over the state on account of the
high price of feed. There is a place
on every Texas farm for a gotxl dairy
cow, one at least and maybe more.
Next year we hope to have a dairy
cow club in connection with the boys
agricultural clubs. It pays to have
a good dairy cow, but a poor cow
will lose you money. The same thing
1s true of hogs and chickens.
"The feeding system in Texas Is
going to be changed. A permanent
pasture should be on every farm.
Grass is the cheapest and best feed
for beef and dairy. A good perma-
nent pasture is a necessity if we in-
tend to cheapen production."

Irish Villagers Give
American Sailors a
Cordial Reception
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLAS
IN BRITISH QUARTERS, June 26.—
"And sure they're after coming back
home," remarked a good natured
Irish mother today as she beamed with
pride on a procession of American
bluejackets coming through the main
street of this seacoast town. She ex-
pressed the feeling of the townspeople
who all take a justified pride in the
"return of our boys" and, by way of
proving it, they point to the high per-
centage of Irish ancestry and birth in
the American navy.
It woul dbe hard to Imagine a for-
eign port where American sailors
could be made more genuinely wel-
come. It is true there has been noth-
ing in the way of a formal welcome
for Americans but that is not the fault
of the hospitable people. It has been
discouraged because this grim busi-
ness of war gives men little time for
celebration ashore. Therefore the
American jack tars set foot ashore in
the same quiet confident business-like
manner as that of their destroyers in
entering the port.
Almost instantly.they captivated the
hearts of the townspeople, many of
whom have been seen to doff their
hats to them when passing along the
narrow, winding streets.
Vice-Admiral Sims is particularly
revered and finds himself a special ob-
ject of display of good feelings at the
hands of the villagers.
One of the favorite ways of being
hospitable to the Americans is to in-
vite them home for tea. Or, should
the American bluejacket be relieved
for a few hours from his arduous ship
life, draw up on the sidewalk to ad-
mire a chubby son of Old Erin, he will
almost invariably be coaxed into the
home for just one cup of tea by tho
proud mother. The sailor often finds
it was only a pretext to talk to him
about America. And this eagerness
for gossip about the United States i»
easily explained when it becomes
known there is hardly one of the vil-
lagers who has not a close relative liv-
ing in the Western republic.
Here is a typical instance of two
sailors from Philadelphia who were
caught in a downpour of rain and took
refuge under some trees. Instantly a
smiling old Irish woman appeared in
her doorway and offered the shelter of
her home until the shower had pass-
ed. Then she brought out tea and
with it tho inevitable family album
with pictures of her two sons who live
in Jersey.
