SPEEDING.
For the first time in months,
maybe years, a complaint
against speeding has resulted in
the driver paying a fine; The
marshal of Brenham collected a
fine a few dayB ago, after a
reckless driver had been twice
apprehended.
Fines, moderate at first, heav-
ier for the second offense, and
still heavier for the third infrac-
tion of the laws, will break up
the speeding in the city limits.
Let 'em go out in the country
and open the throttle all the
way. Nobody has any objec-
tion to these fool-killers destroy-
ing themselves. It is the dan-
ger to the innocent that prompts
the enactment of speed laws.

operate an aeroplane and famous a*
the holder of many long distance
record* in aviation, was a recent vis-
itor to the plant of the Chalmers Mo-
tor company.
Mile, Dutrieu arrived on the
•tesvier Eapacne, which narrowly es-
caped being torpedoed off the coast
of France. For the past year she
has the French sales rights for Chal-
mers cars and haa enjoyed an ex-
cellent business despite war condi-
tions.
"Since the war I have been forced
to give up ray active work In avia-
tion," said Mile. Dutrieu In Detroit.
"The French authorities do not per-
mit the use of planes save for mili-
tary purposes and I have, not used
my plane since the first time Paris
was threatened by the German army.
At that time 1 reported for scout
duty and was on active service for
several weeks.
"At present the French govern-
ment charges 70 per cent duty on
American cars and freight charges
nre so high that by the time the cars
are set down In Paris, they cost 100
per cent more than factory prices.
In spite of tills fact I can sell nil
the Chalmers cars that 1 can get."

PLANT A GARDEN,

The women of Dallas, the
club women, especially, are mak-
ing a campaign in Dallas coun-
ty, trying to teach the rich and
the poor, more especially the
poor, to raise little gardens, to
help feed the family, and foil the
H. C. of L. of which we are
hearing so much now.
These women made a lot of
research work, inquiries into
food prices, and finally decided
the garden patch was the best
way to get at the bottom of the
whole unfortunate business.
A little garden sass goes a
"long ways" on the family lable,
and say—it is just about time
to plant that garden NOW.

FINDING HOMES

Today-
Tho growth of our population
In recent years is astonishing
The population of this country
has doubled every quarter of a
century recently. This rate
may not continue. But it is
reasonable to believe that after
the war many people of Euro-
pean countries will seek homes
among us.
Where are homes to be found?
The humid regions have fur-
nished homes for the thousands
who have sought an opportuni-
ty to live "in the land of the
free". But most of the land
suitable for farming has been
brought in cultivation.
Wo must increase our yield of
crops on farms already in cultt
vation, or we must have more
land to open for farmR. Per-
haps both will be done.
Tn finding homes the possibll
itfes of the agricultural Went
will be apparent to man^. Civ-
llteed man has always been able
to overcome difficulties. Mois
ture will bo the problem. Al-
ready great progress has been
made in irrigation and dry
farming. Streams have been
confined, water impounded and
tillage methods adapted to con
serve moisture. This has made
homes for many. Yet there is
room for more. We have mere
ly begun in reclaiming arid
lands, terracing hillsides, drain
Ing swamps, irrigating and cul
tivation to. save moisture.
Doubtless there can be more
produced on old, worn farms in
the humid region. As the de-

Ht. Paul, Feb. 28, National head
quarters for the Farmer* Non-Parti
sail league were opened in 8t. Paul
today.
This is the organisation that re-
cently swspt North Dakota's old-time
politicians from control and took
over tbo legislature to enact legisla-
tion favorable to farmers.
Bettering of marketing conditions,
and entire elimination of speculative
marketing of foodstuffs, and of ma-
nipulation In food, through state-
owned terminal elevators and ware-
houses, was the only platform of the
farmer organisation.
Removal of tho league headquar-
ter* from Kargo to St. Paul today Is
the signal for the nationalisation of
the movement, A. C. Townley, pres-
ident of the league said. Similar
organisations In Mlnne*ota. South
Dakota and Montana are now being
formed.
In the three charier member
states of the league, marketing of
wheat by means other than through
the Minneapolis chamber of com-
merce and Chicago board of trade,
are planned.
That the corn marketing condi-
tions of Illinois, Iowa and Indiana,
and the fruit marketing conditions
of the far west, along with the cot-
ton marketing conditions of the
South, would he helped by the polit-
ical sweep of the league, Is the claim
of Its promoters.
Cicero, 111., Feb. 26.—With brick-
bats and heuip ropes, one for each
member of the city council to back
up their protest, a hundred citizens
of Cicero threaten to attend the
meeting of the municipal fathers
tonight, to voice their disapproval of
a contemplutod sale of the municipal
light plant to the Public Service com-
pany of Northern Illinois.
Several weeks ago tho citizens
committee met at the Hawthorne au-
ditorium to devise ways anil means
of bringing the recalcitrant council
to their way of thinking. An Invi-
tation to the members was accepted
by but one alderman. Joseph Laska.
Mis* Margaret Haley, president of
the Chicago Teacher* Federation,
spoke at the gathering and recom-
mended the rope as a convincing and
persuasive argument.
"A few years ago there was a fight
In Toledo, Ohio, similar to this one,"
she said. "The citizens met In a
body and went, to the council cham-
ber balcony. They dangled ropes in
tho faces of tho council members nnd
the traction company was not sold
as planned."
"You citizens take ropes and do
the *am« thing. I.et them know
that you nre In earnest."
Frank R. Kllmes. a prominent cit-
izen urged that all voters and prop-
erty owners attend -armed with a
plentiful supply of brick bats.
The plan was unanimously ap-
proved and leading citizens say they
Intend to carry out their coup to
night.
