upon us thoughts of good
things to eat naturally
arise. Among them our
hot cross buns are not
the least by any means.
They are not ordinary
buns with a cross on
them. They are specially
made of special dough and
are a treat indeed. Do not
fail to order plenty for
you’ll want plenty.

Having drunk long and deep of
the wine that is red, ex-Governor
Patterson of Tennessee, ended
his public career with an arrest
and a conviction, this last due to
the splendid courage and won-
derful love of God’s grandest
handiwork—a good woman and
noble wife.
The writer knew Mr. Patter-
son when he was the best loved
man in Tennessee. By stages
which he did not recognize as
harbingers of evil, he went from
one moral lapse to another, tinal
ly ending his political career in a
humiliation that must have sear-
ed and stung with an intensity
not approached by the white heat
of the eternal lire. Supported by
his wife, the native good in the
man took the helm, and today ex-
Governor Patterson is putting
the energy of a soul heavily bur-
dened but wonderfully, strange-
ly strong, into an effort to shield
others from the fate that overtook
him. Brilliant at all times, Mr.
Patterson is passionately and
dramatically in earnest, many of
his utterances closely bordering
on the classic.
Recently he delivered a lecture
at the Coliseum in Dallas. Here
is a part of what he said:
“Personal liberty is not thought
to be invaded when it prohibits
the sale of poisonous food or
drugs, when it forbids arson or
theft. But the evils of alcohol
are greater than all those com-
bined. It is a fouler nuisance
and more deadly than an open
sewer. It has claimed more vic-
tims than all the poisonous and
death-producing drugs of this
world since Socrates drank the
cup of hemlock. It has destroy-
ed more lives since Cleopatra put
the asp in her bosom than all the
insects that fly, all the reptiles
that crawl, and all the savage
beasts that roam the jungles and
the wild woods. It has stolen
more men and women from the
house of God than all the booty
robbers have stolen since the
penitent thief died upon the
cross, and it lias burned more
homes than all the torches of in-
cendiaries since Nero fired the
Eternal City.
“I favor prohibition in any form
that will either reduce or destroy
the liquor traffic.
“I favor it personal-wide,town-
wide, State-wide, Nation-wide
and world-wide.
“Liquor! Liquor!! How I hate
it!
“I hate it for what it has done
for me and those 1 love!
“I hate it for what it has done
to others; to the State, and to my
country!
“I hate it with every fibre of
my being—with every passion of
my soul!
“I hate it for the tears it has
caused to flow, for the blood it
has shed, for the homes and hap-
niness it has wrecked, for the
men and women it has ruined.
1 atn not here to tell you what
liquor will do to you. I am here
to tell you what you can do to
liquor. Liquor is a physical,
mental and moral waste. It is a
consumer of public taxes, a crea-
tor of public debt. It filches $7
for $1 it pays into the treasury.
And it filches seven times seven
in morals, character, health,
peace and honor. When I think
of the tears it has caused, of the
blood it has shed, of the homes it
lias wrecked, of the unanointed
souls it has sent to the bar of
judgment, I know that the time
has come to put out the fires of
every brewery in the land., , ,
There can he no snob thing as a
resj>ec table saloon. Did you
ever see a square circle, a virtu-
ous prostitute, an honest thief?
If you ever did, perhaps you will
see a respectable saloon.”—Dal-
las Democrat.
Since becoming a reader of
your valuable paper 1 have read
all the discussions with interest:
Duty of tenant, duty of landlord,
and their relations. Having had
some experience along these
lines, I feel inclined to join the
discussion.
I own 110 acres of land, with
50 acres in cultivation. I work
all this myself in corn; oats, cow-
peas and cotton. I have no ten-
ants. My neighbors on each
side have tenants, and while 1
“saw wood and say nothing,” 1
hear both complaints. Anti my
impartial decision is that it is the
same old story that generally
exists with all farmers lack of
co-operatian. We are all so
afraid of doing something that
will benefit our neighbor that we
actually fail in our own behalf.
This winter while breaking my
land with a ten-inch plow as deep
as three horses could pull, a ten-
ant neighbor came in the field
and strongly emphasized the
work as being “the thing.”
As this tenant worked the
same land last year and laid his
crop by so that at gathering time
there appeared to be at least a
ton of crab grass to the acre, 1
told him I thought lie would at
least make the rent over and
above by turning under all this
grass during the winter. This
he said he could not afford, being
a renter; that he had rather burn
off and break in the spring and
save two breakings. To this
replied that it would only be ne
cessary to disk instead of break
twice (owner furnishes him a
disk.) This he also claimed lie
could not afford, as he would be
improving the land for the own-
er. This man, with numbers of
others, has not done a day’s
work this winter.
This is very much the policy
of all the tenants I have f
known. If they break a pane
from the window they call for
the owner to put in another; al-
low the ditch that drains the lot
to fill up and notify the owner
that they can hardly get in their
lot on account of the mud. Is it
any wonder such people are rent-
ers? This same lack of co-oper-
ation and same stupidity is char-
acteristic of a vast majority of
the land-owners, and is the most
damaging example and the great
est obstruction to progress in
our Dixie Land. Is it any won-
der the tenant is so trifling? In
the general summing up of the
the subject one is about the equal
of the other, and all affected with
the same old disease, growl,
growl, and do nothing.—Arkan-
san, in The Progressive Farmer.
FIX UP YOUR LIVER AND FEEL GOOD.
Why Risk Being “All Knocked Out” by
Calomel? Dodson’s Liver Tone Takes
Its Place and is Safe.
When you are constipated and
your liver is sluggish it is no
longer necessary to try to lix
yourself up with calomel, which
everyone now know’s to be a pois-
on that sometimes remains in the
system and causes evil after-
effects—and is often very danger-
ous to many people.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is guaran-
teed to take the place of calomel,
to be a pleasant-tasting, easy-
acting vegetable liquid, with no
bad effects and causing no pain
norgrijxjnor interference with
your regular duties, habits or
diet. If you are not entirely sat-
isfied with Dodson’s Liver Torn-,
go back to the store where you
bought it and get your money
back. It belongs to you and Dod-
son wants you to have it.

PIPE ORGAN BOUGHT.
The Plano Baptist church has
just placed a contract with the
Will A. Watkin Go. of Dallas for
a beautiful Hillgreon, I jane Or-
gan. The Organ Committee for
the church consisted of the Pas
tor, Rev. M. L. Fuller, Mrs. M.
1 j. Fuller, tin* Organist, Mrs. E.
O. Harrington, A. Weatherford,
and E. Vr. Mashburn, Chorister.
The Committee devoted much
time to t he investigation of vari
ous makes of organs. The fact
that this is the lirst pipe organ
coming to Plano,‘added to their
sense of duty to their church,
impelled them to use the most
usual care in their selection of
a pi|>e organ maker. A number
of organs were before them for
consideration. The Committee
wisely decided to make quality
and not quantity their standard
They feel that in the selection of
a Hillgreen, Lane Organ they are
securing for tin* Baptist church
an organ of the highest excel
lence. Some of the finest organs
oversold in the Southwest are
Hillgreen, Lane Organs. They
are of the highest grade and are
made under many special, exclu
sive improvements, and especi
ally noted are they for the tine
voicing of their pipes, which has
received special commendation
of leading organists -of England
and America.
This organ will be built to ai-
der. It will require about three
months for its completion and
installation in the church. The
case will be of polished oak, of a
color corresponding to the pews
and furnishings of the church
auditorium. The organ will con-
tain 33 stops, mechanical im-
provements, accessories, etc.,
with all the latest improved fa-
cilities for the organist. The
price of'the'organ figured a little
less than $3,(XX).00. The wind
will be supplied by an electric
Orgoblo, the most modern device
for this purpose. The organ
will weigh something over ten
thousand pounds. The height
will be 18 feet, the width 17 feet,
and the depth 8 feet.
This will probably be the finest
pipe organ in any Texas town of
the size of Plano. Its beautiful
music will be a most important
element and greatly nrh! to the
devotional exercises of the Bap-
tist church. Its coming to Plano
marks a distinctive epoch in the
history,'of the town.
