Are you planning- your spring
improvements ?
Easter Sunday falls on the
eleventh day of April this year.
We have a fine little citv, but
is there nothing we can do to im-
prove it ?
According to their declaration
there are no two'dollar-a-day
workmen in the present legisla-
ture. Sizing up the body bv a
few who persist in coming be-
fore our mind’s eye we are forc-
ed to agree with the contention.
Some of them could not earn two
dollars a week if left to their own
resource^.
The earthquake shock that
stirred all California occurred
April 19, 1906
In the state of California every
Saturday afternoon is a legal holi-
day in all the public offices.
Texas was admitted as a state
in the year 1845. It might be
well to remember this date.
- The man who has the greatest
freedom is he who willingly and
joyfully submits to the laws of
his country. He has no fears of
police nor courts nor jury. They
are his friends and guarantee
him justice, protection and liber-
ty to engage in any honorable and
‘legitimate business. — The
Teachers Journal.
The earth is in fine condition
now for tree planting. Do it
now, as the time is getting short.
The business men of San An-
tonio propose to spend the mod-
est sum of $10,000 in advertising
that citv.
It has been discovered that the
state of Missouri is not getting
its share of immigration and the
governor of that state asked the
railroads what could be done
about it and they replied, “ad-
vertise. w Gov. Hadley will there-
fore recommend in his message
to the legislature that an appro-
priation be made for that pur-
pose.
Before another issue of the
Herald, Wm. H. Taft will have
been inaugurated as President
of the United States, next Thurs-
day being the date for the event.
There mavbe something in
the bylaws and constitution of
the W. O. W. order that will for-
bid the public reprimand of their
state soverign, F. A. Frasier, but
if the order approves of his say-
ing and conduct at the mass-
meeting in the chamber of com-
merce at Dallas last Saturday
night, the order does not stand
for all that we have been led to
believe that it does, ahd we ven-
ture the guess that if this high
and mighty sovereign does not
hear from this in any other way.
he will at least get the disapprov-
al of the brotherhood through
the secret channels of the order.

The Billy ’Possum is the new
toy on sale. They reached
southern markets only last week,
and as yet the country is not
flooded with them.
The velocity of the wind of
Texas when compared with other
points will show something of its
force. At Galveston the average
hourly velocity during 1908 was
10 miles and the highest ever re-
ported was 84 miles per hour,
while at Lynchburg, Va., the
average hourly velocity was 4
miles and the highest reported
was 50 miles per hour.
The March number of Hol-
tand’s Magazine has reached our

it is filled with interesting arti-
cles for the early spring season.
If the bill introduceAat Albany

Anti-liquor legislation is re-
sponsible tor 200 saloons ceasing
to do business in Wyoming. The
new law is for absolutely prohib-
iting the sale of liquor in the
state.
A good product pushed by
good advertising always brings
success, and failure is always
paramount when either element
is lacking. This is a safe rule to
follow.
The bankers of the state* have
been in annual session the past
week in Ft. Worth. They de-
clare that tjie panic is over and
forgotten aad that business con-
ditions are excellent.
The divorce evil of this coun-
try is a question that is indeed
startling. Forty years ago there
were but ten thousand matrimo-
nial break-ups while to-day there
are recorded seventy thousand.
A Georgia judge differs with
Col. Ousley’s “Geawguh fig-
gii’ s” in regard to prohibition
in the goober state. The judge
fiays, “already the most astound-
ing benefits have been experi-
enced by the people at large bv
the prohibition law.”—Ferris
Wheel.
The Dallas Dispatch of Mon-
day told it all, every word of that
disgraceful scene in the chamber
of Commerce at Dallas Saturday.
The other papers gave the sub-
stance but left out the spice.
Well of course it is well not to
tell home troubles abroad, but
such things will leak out, and ex-
pressions used by some of these
men will stand against them
through all time.
Prof. Lester F. Brown esti-
mates the total age of the earth
to be 72,000,000 years, while the
age of written language is 6,000
and the human race is supposed
to have existed between 200,000
and 300,000 years, and has been
conscious of its existence about
10,000 years. In a word man has
only begun to exist. The past
200 years have been important in
the great work of his existence.
The Lancaster Herald was
twenty-two years old on the fifth
of this month. There are few
towns where the merchants ap-
preciate a paper as they do at
Lancaster. Make your volume
XXIII Bro. Hulbert.—Blossom
Bee.
We trust Bro. Green will find
just as appreciative merchants at
Blossom as he left at Lancaster.
He made a success of the Her-
ald during his many years as
proprietor and editor.
Richardson can never be at
the top until she votes special
tax for school purposes. The
railroad and Interurban would
pay enough into the treasury for
one extra month of school. A
majority vote will give us a
school tax just the same as other
democratic measures are car-
ried.—Richardson Echo.
You have the correct idea. No
town is a thoroughly good town
that has not good schools,, and
every enterprise, and every en-
terprising citizen is willing to
bear their proportion in main-
taining these schools.
The moon has no atmosphere
and no water. The atmosphere
of the earth is supposed to ex-
tend about 40 miles in height.
There is a great deal to learn
about the planitarv system that
the mind of man has not been
able to grasp.
The question of the bond elec-
tion is now before the people.
It is an order of the federal gov-
ernment that the bridges over
the Trinity be raised and to meet
this expense an election has been
ordered held March 30tb, to au-
thorize the commissioners to is-
sue bonds for $175,000, payable
in 40 years after said date with
option of redeeming same at any
time after five years from date,
bearing interest at four per cent
per annum. Only qualified vot-
ers who are property owners can
vote in this election. Do your
discussing now and be ready for
the question March 30th.
The “Grand Prairie Texan”
speaks a truth in the following
concerning our roads : Dallas
county has a greater mileage of
macadamized roads than either
of the several counties in the
state, and they have contributed
more to increase property values
than anything else. A person
cannot fully appreciate the real
worth of a good road until com-
ing to a point where it is neces-
sary to turn off and take a bad
one, and then conscientious
scruples will elicit thoughts and
expressions extremely unfavor-
able to a continuation of it.
Money invested in good roads
alwavsoavs good returns.

And Palmer is falling into the
progressive line. Waking up to
her duty. We congratulate her :
“The erecting of a $10,000 brick
school building will be the open-
ing of a new era for Palmer. We
can see the rippling of the waves
.of a prosperous move upon the
sea of time, and soon we shall
expect to see new life injected
•
into every^walk of life. New
business houses will go up, new
residences will dot the residence
portion of the citv, and the peo-
ple will step with a more spright-
ly movement, and the men who
have been holding their money
with such a firm grip will gradu-
ally begin to release their hold,
and we will see things move as
thev never did before. New
energy will course through the
veins of everybody, and business
will 'take on a more substantial
growth. Don’t stand back and
watch your neighbor go forward
and accomplish something, and
then you attempt to step in and
try to tell the people of the things
that you have helped to accom-
plish.^’ •
When one reflects on the hun-
dreds of thousands of immigrants
who are pouring into the United
States from the various countries
whose language, institutions,
and in some cases racial charac-
teristics, are different to our
own, one wonders by what magic
process they are so assimilated
into the social and political body
that each vear, despite the ever
increasing tide, it is no less
American in spirit and no more
alien in sympathy than before.
In enumerating the benefit's of
our public school system, and ad-
vocating compulsory education,
we do not sufficiently take into
account the fact that our educa-
tional ischeme is in reality the
Magic Hopper that has received
this enormous and “Unpromising
foreign grist, and bv its inner
processes has so transformed it
and mingled it with the native
staple that no ill results are visi-
ble. This is a task that no other
of our public institutions could
perform, but because it is under-
taken as part of the day's work,
and accomplished without any
tooting of horns, this great bene-
ficence of our public schools is,
for the most part, overlooked.
Yet none of its functions is more
important to the stability and
prestige of the Nation than the
creating of patriotic citizenship.

CATARRH
A Religious Author's Statement
For several years I was afflicted
with kidney trouble and last win-
ter I was suddenly stricken with
a severe pain in my kidneys and
was confined to bed eight davs
unable to get up without assist-
ance. My urine contained a thick
white sediment and I passed
same frequently day and night.
I commenced taking Foley’s Kid-
ney Remedy, and the pain grad-
ually abated and finally ceased
and my urine became normal. I
cheerfully recommend Foley’s
Kidney Remedy.

A Household Necessity
I would almost as soon think
of running my farm without im-
plements as without Hunt’s
Lightning Oil. Of all the lini-
ments I have ever used, both for
man and beast, it is the quickest
in action and richest in results.
For burns and fresh cuts it is
absolutely wonderful. I regard
it as a household necessity.
