Last Wednesday was arbor
day. If you failed to plant a tree
make good your neglect by plant-
ing several now. It is not too
kite.
Beginning with the first issue
in March we will run to its con-
clusion the serial story “The
—«s •• A
Island of Regeneration,” written
by Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady.
March 11th has been set as
clean-up day for the state. If we
commence a day or two sooner
we will not be enioined from
completing the work nor made to
pay a fine.
Our public school is advancing
and we take great pride in keep-
ing the matter before the patrons.
We noticed last week that J. L.
Henderson, of the state board,
visited our schools and we were
anxious to learn bis recommenda
tions to the powers that be. The
*
following is taken from a carbon
copy of his report: “Lancaster
High School visited by J. L. Hen-
derson Feb. 9, 1911—This schoo
is gaining strength each year
Classes taught by the different
teachers were visited. A physical
laboratory has been installed and
gcod work is being done in this
subject. American History and
Civic papers will be submitted
later. The visitor will recom-
mend that this school be affiliat-
ed in Physics one unit.” This in
addition to twelve points given
last year. In conversation we
learned that the school was en-
titled to one point, and a little
better than an additional half
point extra, and work will be
done to bring up the full point.
Next year the school can gain
tall affiliation if another teacher
is added, and this will be neces-
sary, because of the increase of
the enrollment,!tBy actual count
there are three hundred ninety-
nine pupils enrolled, and with the
increase in enrollment that comes
each year, assures the necessity
of an addition to the torce next
year. There are one hundred
pupils in the colored schools,
making a total of four hundred
ninety-nine pupils enrolled in the
public school^ of the Lancaster
Independent school district.
Austin Letter
The bill proposing to levy
special tax of four cents on the
one hundred dollars valuation to
create a permanent fund for the
University of Texas and the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege provoked the most extended
and warmest debate that has tak-
en place since this Legislature
convened. Several days were
consumed in the argument on
this measure and a number o
the ablest men in this House
spoke for and against the bill,
may be wrong, but I voted against
it. not because I am oooosed to
higher education, but because I
do not believe that it is right to
levy this tax, except it be sub-
mitted to and approved by the
people in the form of a constitu
tional amendment authorizing the
Legislature to make the lew.
Although I often differ with
my colleague, Mr. Williams, of
Dallas, we get along splendidly,
because each of us accords to
the other the right to follow the
dictates of his own conscience
and to exercise his own judg-
ment, hence this comment on his
congressional redistrictiog bill
must not be construed as a criii
cism.j But as a newspaper man,

of Lancaster and vicinity tomor-
row at 3 o’clock. Never* mind
the weather, a comfortable room
will be found for the meeting.

If you ask the farmers if any-
thing of interest has occurred in
their community yon are answer-
ed with a happy laugh, and “Oh
yes! it has rained. Oats are
looking fine, the ground is in
good condition, and everything
is promising for a good crop.
And we join in the laugh, and
feel that all is welL When the
farmers are happy, all earth is
happy, for we know there will be
daily bread.
I can not overlook so remarkable
a bill., If it should pass in the
form introduced, three of our
present congressmen would have
to stay at home, as it places
Messrs. Henry aud Hardy in one
district, Young and Gregg in an-
other, and also places Slayden
and Calloway in the same dis-
trict. This latter district, as
'rj >
proposed, is the most remarkable
one in the bill. Not only does it
include two of our present con-
gressmen, but it is strung out in
such a manner that a candidate
for Congress who lived at San
Antonio, in the/lower part of the
district, would have , to go
through Fort Worth to reach the
northern* end of his district.
The one which includes Young
and Gregg is also a peculiarly
shaped district as it begins at the
east line of Dallas county and ex-
tends to Louisiana, being in most
places one county wide. It was
not so hard to put Mr. Hardy
and Mr. Henry together. In
fact, Messrs. Young, Beall, Hen
ry and Hardy could all be indud
ed in one district that Would be
compact as compared ' to the
other districts referred fo above,
as Kaufman, Ellis, Navarro and
McLennan, where th&se gentle-
men, respectively, reside, are all
close together- Some of the
counties on the cast ard lapped
off of Mr. Randall’s district and
Cooke and Benton included, for
the purpose, some of Kis friends
say, to make it hard for him to
be re-elected, as be is a Strong

The Philosophers ao0> the Frog.
By Special Correspondent.
Dr, Safford, for many years
professor of chemistry in the
Medical College of the Universi-
ty of Nashville, used to tell bis
students a fable—the moral of
which was “prove it.” Certain
wise men were gathered togeth-
er to ascertain the explanation of
a statement that when two glass-
es of water of equal weight are
balanced on the beam of a bziT-
ance scale and a frog is then out
in one of the vessels the balance
remains the same, thus attempt-
ing to prove the assertion that a
frog has no weight when immers-
ed in water. Each wise man had
his owu explanation, and there
was much heated argument and
discussion. At length one of the
wise men said: “But is your
statement true ? Let’s prove it.”
Of course when it came to prov-
ing it, they couldn’t.
So when you hear people sav
that Coca-Cola is injurious, just
ask them to prove it. They can’t.
Nubody can, because it is not in-
jurious by chemical analysis
Or if you are not a chemist your-
self, why not accept the verdict
of every competent chemist who
ever analyzed it? Eminent col
lege and university chemists?
commercial chemists, govern
ment, state and city chemists—
all have analyzed Coca-Cola an$
not one has ever been.*able to find
anytMhg injurious . in it. The
very next time you hear anyone
say that Coca-Cola contains delet-
erious ingredients tell him to
write the Coca-Cola Co., Atlanta,
Ga., for a free copy of their book-
let, ‘The Truth About Coca-
# - a - . :■» a.,-
Cola.” In the meantime write
fer a copy for yourself—yon,will
find it eery interesting. Adv 2
