jiointcd or endowed with any "divine
rights;” that all forms of government
and all authority vested in any rulers
are of man's own creation and assump-
tion. This truth the world at large is
about to learn, and they will learn it
as a sequel to the great war now rag-
ing in Europe. This alone if well
learned may in time compensate for
the awful loss of life and destruction of
property that the old world is now
witnessing. Government and society
will never right themselves until man
quits worshiping man. Even in this
supposedly enlightened and Christian
country we are more or less man wor-
shipers, with the difference that we
change our gods every few years.
In concluding her address Miss
Engle gave opportunity for any who
might wish to ask questions concerning
matters which had not been included
in her address, and a number were pro-
pounded, and to each she was ready
with a pointed, brilliant and convincing
reply. This eloquent lady is making a
tour of the state, delivering addresses
and organizing local associations, pre-
paratory to a demand to be made of
the next legislature to submit to a vote
of the people of the state a constitu-
tional amendment conferring the
electoral franchise on the women of
Texas. We believe if the rest of the
state will vote as Palacios would now

Texas Epworth League
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trade to confer with the lo-
cating committee of the State Epworth
League which met at Austin Tuesday
to consider propositions from localities
offering sites for a permanent encamp-
ment ground, performed the duties as-
signed them in a most thorough man-
ner, and returned Wednesday bringing
reports that the committee were much
interested in what Palacios had to offer,

nite proposition for our people to
Votes For Women.
A large, appreciative, attentive and
much edified and we believe very gen-
erally convinced audience assembled at
the high school auditorium Tuesday
evening to hear the cause of woman
suffrage advocated by one of its brill-
iant and able champions, Miss Lavina
Engle, of Washington, D. C., field sec-
retary of the National Suffragea Associa-
tion. She was accompanied by Mrs.
Helen Moore, of Texas %City, district
chairman of Texas Woman Suffrage
Aisociation for this senatorial district,
who was here chiefly in the interest of
organising a local association, and which
was accomplished at the close of the
Mrs. Moore was first introduced
and made a short address, and was fol-
lowed by Miss Engle who for more
than an hour held the undivided atten-
tion of her hearers. There was not a
particle of sentimentalism in all that
the speaker said, nor any plea for jus-
tice, but an open and unqualified de-
mand for tha rights for her sex which
have been denied them from the dawn
of creation up to the present time.
TFe speaker presents a splendid ap-
pearance on the platform, and her style
and manner of speech attracts and
(raids the attention of the hearer such
as hat no other speaker that haa ever
bean heard in our city, if we may ex-
cept a few and a very few of the great
orators that visit us during the B. Y. P-
U. encampments. There was nothing
speculative or theoretical in what this
young woman offered, and her descrip-
tionand account of the origin of the home
byjwoman and of government by men,
waa something new to at least most of
the audience, and gave to many a new
and broader viewpoint as to what wo-
man has dona for humanity, and how
•little her work hat been recognized or
One point which ihould not be lost
or forgotten by any who heard Miss
Engle was that tha history of mankind
frotn all agar givai no ground for the
baUatoommon at Ieait among mon-
archiaal govarnmants, that king! and
•inanta an either divinely ap-
a
consider.
The committee appointed by the
Board of Trade was composed of Presi-
dent Wolf of the Academy, Rev. B.
A. Myers, pastor of the Palacios Metho-
dist church, and cashier J. F. Barnett
of the State Bank. In addition to this
committee Messrs. P. F. Campbell, F.
C. Hensel and H. B. Farwell also went
to Austin by auto Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Wolf went to Victoria Saturday
where he preached Sunday, and Rev.
Myers went by train Monday. The
auto party picked up Rev. Wolf at Vic-
toria and took him on to Austin with
them. Four of the party returned to
Palacios by auto Wednesday evening,
while Rev. Wolf and Mr. Barnett went
to Dallas on important business con-
nected with the Academy. Mr. Bar-
nett returned yesterday evening.
At Austin the Palacios committee
found a dozen or more other points in
the contest to secure the Epworth en
campment, among them being Austin,
Rockport, Port Lavaca, Port O'Connor,
Glen Flora and other points. The
committee gave to each place but fif-
teen minutes for a hearing, Palacios
being last on the list. The committee
from here had succeeded in getting
panoramic photo views of the city and
Baptist grounds displayed in the room
where the committee met, and with
president Wolf as spokesman and the
viewa to attract their attention, the site
locating committee were speedily con-
vinced that Palacios had aomething
most desirable to offer, and they ex-
pressed their desire and anxiety to see
the place. The offer of the use of the
Baptist grounds for this years' maeting
of the League also appealed to the
members of the committee as a most
generous and inviting offer.
Reports covering this and much
more were made by the members of
the local committee who returned
Wednesday to a hastily called meeting
of citizens at the LaBelle theatre build-
ing yesterday morning, and the tense of
this meeting was that Palacios would
meet any reasonable demand that
might be made to secure the location
of the encampment here. The com
mittee which had worked so. admirably
for the good of Palacios was at this
meeting continued and authorized to
make all needed arrangements for the
reception and entertainment of the
visiting committeemen—appointing re*
ception committee and arranging for
the banquet and showing the visitor!
over the city and grounds offered them
as well as the Baptist grounds.
Arrange man (severe made to enter-
tain the expected visitors at a banquet
at the Palacios hotel yesterday evening,
a report having been received that they
would arrive here by boat from Port
Lavaca, and later the report came that
they would be here on the evening
train. A delegation of citizens met at
the station to greet the committee, but
when the train arrived they were not
on board. There was the possibility
that they might have missed connection
from the Brownsville train at Blessing
but this was soon learned to not be
true. Later a message was received
that the committee had disbanded at
Port Lavaca and left for their homes,
but no word of explanation was to be
had. This was a very strange and un-
usual proceeding, but our people with
hold judgement until the members of
the committee can be heard from, as
there must have been some very great
reason why the gentlemen so suddenly
changed their plans.
Later.—Rev. Myers received a wire
from Rev. Sessions, of Beeville, -stating
that the itinerancy of the committee
had been cut short, and that explana-
tion will follow by letter; which we take
it signifies that the committee will .visit
Palacios at a later date.
Dairying
Dariying will pay a good profit to
any diversified farmers who goes into
it in a small way and gradually builds
up a business to the size that his farm
will accommodate without putting him-
self andfamily td too much work to care
for the herd.
You should choose the breed that is
best adapted to your locality and your
need. If you are selling whole milk
you should choose a breed of cattle
that produces large quantities of milk
that will test from 3 to 4 per cent but-
ter fat. If you are going to sell cream
you should chose a breed that will pro-
duce a good quantity of milk that will
test high in butter fat, not less than 5
per cent. You should buy registered
cows if possble; if not, get as good grade
cows as possible and breed to a register-
ed; sire you will soon have a herd of
high grade cows. The heifer calves
from the best cows only should be re-
tained in the herd. Some of these
heifers will prove to be inferior individ-
uals and should be disposed of, but if
the system is constantly carried out it
produces gradual improvement in the
herd regardless of what grade of cattle
you use to begin with. Every dairy-
man should have a Babcock tester so
he can weed out the cows that do not
pay. Often the cow you think is your
best cow is not paying for the feed she
eats.
I--------MLEDINC
In order that cattle may produce the
most milk and do it moat economically
they must have suitable feed, not all of
which can be obtained by buying it on
the market Green feed is very essen-
tial and when it is not available direct
from the field it should be supplied in
the from of silage. In many cases the
cows are fed nothing but cotton-seed
meal and hulls in the south. This is
not only an expensive feed but is en-
tirely insufficient to give best results.
When used in combination with silage
and good hay cotton seed meal can be
used to good advantage. Another very
bad practice in connection with feeding
is that cows are often not fed enough.
Many a good cow is producing far less
than her maximum because of an in
sufficient amount of feed. The inclina-
tion of the dairyman to rely almost en
tirely upon the market for his supply
of dairy feed is a great drawback to the
dairy industry of the south. With the
great varieties of forage crops that -are
available under conditions here the pro-
duction of feed is neither difficult nor
expensive. The dairyman can never
fully succeed until he produces more
of his feed. Every dairy farmer should
have a silo so he can have plenty of
silage during the winter and during the
dry weather in the lete summer and
earlV fall, and he should have plenty
of pasture. It is well to sow a winter
pasture such as oats, wheat or rye or
something of that nature.
A dairy cow should be fed a grain
ration in addition to silage and pasture.
find a ration of 2 parts wheat
bran and one part milo maize chops to
be a good and a cheap feed. A cow
that is giving 3 gallons per day should
receive 8 lbs. or more per day. Cot-
ton seed meal is an excellent feed high
in protein but is very expensive at
present. Shorts is also an excellent
feed, and cattle should have a good sup-
ply of pure water. Dairy cows should
have protection in winter from the
cold and rain. In our country where
most of the winter weather is mild the
dairyman is apt to overlook the fact
that even a brief chill to the dairy
cow damages the cow and reduces the
milk flow which it very expensive
The full flow of milk may not be re-
gained for some time. In our climate
an open shed is good protection, but
good dairy barn should be provided for
the cows while you are feeding end
milking. It should be equipped with
good stancheons and cement floors, and
be properly lighted and ventilated.
It should be arranged as convenient
as possible to as-to reduce the labor of
feeding and caring for ihe cow to the
minimum. We mutt consider the im-
portance of liberal and right feeding and
the regularity of the work carefully look-
ing after detail* if we expect to suc-
ceed. The cilves should not be allowed
to auck the cow more than 3 or 4 time*
a day at most and many prefer to take
them away from the cows as soon as pos-
sible after they are born. The calf should
receive its mother's milk for at least 2
weeks; skimmed milk can gradually be
added until they are 4 weeks old when
they can be fed on all slummed milk
There should be some grain ration fed
to take the place of ihe butterfat in the
whole milk. Maize chops and bran,
or rice polish make a good grain ration,,
but do not feed cotton seed meal to
calves. Calves should have all the
good hay and silage they can eat; also
have a pasture to run in. It is well to
sow some winter pasture for them
They should have protection during
stormy weather, and a good supply of
pure water at all times and one of the
most important things is cleanliness.
The pails they drink out of should be
scalded every time used.
PROFIT
An average cow in this country
should produce one' dollar's worth
butter fat per week for about 8 months
in a year, also furnish milk for one
hog at least, and raise a good calf,
herd of 10 cows will support an ave-
rage family and they will have the
hogs and calves for their profits.
There is no branch of agriculture
that is more needed in the south than
dairying. It is not pnly a profitable
industry in itself but it may be made
the means of increasing the productiv-
ness of the soil and promoting a better
type of agriculture.
Dairying in this country needs im
provement all along the line and our
motto should be: Better cows; More
home-grown feed; More and better
products.

girla. Another curious -fact ia, that
more girla than boya are.being graduat-

surely means that in a few yeara the
women will be the educated portion of

Cows or Commercial Ferti-
lizer.
The practice of taking from the soil
and making no return has gone to
the extreme. That a different method
must be followed is recognized not only
by many thinking farmers, but by the
merchants and bankers whose prosper-
ity depends directly on the prosperity
of the farmers.
Many sections of our State find the
yield of crops much below what they
were ten years ago, and it is time to
commence to realize that if we keep
our land up to where we can find
profitable results from farming, we
must build soil fertility. Dairying
the one branch oi agriculture recogniz-
ed as sufficient to bring back and sus-
tain soil fertility, and give the farmer a
product that will bring cash at all times
of the year, and, as a consequence, cre-
ates a better all-round bueinee* condi-
tion.
Legume crops may be grown and
commercial fertiliser used in improv-
ing the land, but it has been demon-
strated that those sections of the coun-
try where the farmers follow dairying
and the feeding of those crops they
produce beck lo livestock, have the
surest and best way to sustain and build
up the eoil.

War’s Wanton Waste
Washington, March 20.—The Euro-
pean war has taken from the aeas more
then two thousand merchant vessels of
nearly four million tons, according to
figures published today by the depart-
ment of commerce. Germany, with
800 vessels sunk, captured or interned,
hezds the list of losers.
Two hundred and twenty-five of the
five hundred British vessels lost were
sunk by submarines. Great Britain's
a lies lost 167 ships.
Austria lost 80 and Turkey 124.
The total neutral losses is put at 736,
but most of these were released, after
being reported captured.
Ninety-two neutral vessels have
been submarined and ninety-four sunk
by mines. Twent-three have been
damaged by submarines and mines.
