Tjbere are five negroes nowjn
jail at Dallas under sentence of
death. While capital punishment
may be considered a severe
means of getting rid of bad char-
acters, it appears that Dallas will
have to adopt strenuous methods
to decrease her criminal popula-
tion. ____
The present scientific methods
of farming are as far in advance
of those employed twenty years
ago as a steam engine is ahead
of a stage coach, and the farmer
who fails to learn something of
value every year is taking
chances on being relegated to
the rear.
A commendable feature with
respect to the administration of
President Wilson is that, person-
ally, he is both modest and firm.
Although courteous, genial and
obliging to callers, the new chief
executive knows exactly when
and how to say “no” to those
who go beyond the bounds of rea-
son in seeking appointments.

According to dispatches, Porfi-
ro Diaz, ex-president of Mexico,
is on the way from Egypt to cht
land of his nativity to help sup
press the rebels. Considering
the treachery that exists in th
War-stricken republic, it is the
opinion of the Rustler that Diaz
will not find the clin\ate beyond
the Rio Grand conducive to his
health.
An effort is berfig^made
eliminate the illiterate and
purchasable vote form state elec-
tions, Representative Boehmer
having introduced a bill provid-
ing, besides a poll tax receipt, an
educational test for all voters.
The time is not far distant when
the indolent and illiterate will
not be permitted to take part in
governmental affairs
A suave young man in Wash-
ington City recently palmed off
a ten dollar Confederate bill on an
unsophisticated boarding house
keeper. He pretended that, un-
der the present administration,
all old Confederate money is again
worth its face value. The police
are now looking for the man,
fearing that he might contract
3
he habit of pepularizing Confed-r
erate money in lieu of legal ten-
der.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to create a bureau of
marketing in the Department of
Agriculture. The purpose of the
bill is to bring the farmer and the
truck grower in closer touch with
the markets and to supply infor-
mation as to current prices. The
Floors Like New
Marred and worn floors are hard to clean and hard to
keep clean. Half an hour’s work with the paint brush
changes your old shabby floors into new floors that are easy
to keep clean and fiard to wear out.
ACME QUALITY
FLOOR PAINT (GRANITE)
is the best floor paint to use. It is made especially to be
walked upon, is ready for use, easy to put on—you can do it
yourself—and dries quickly/* A quart will cover about 75
square feet, two coats.
Ask for a copy of cur “Home Decorating” booklet.
It tells you all about the use of paints, enamels, stains and
finishes in the home.

A letter, intended for L. A.
Stafford, a grain dealer at Alex-
andria, La., has teen returned
from Alexandria, Egypt, after
having traveled a distance of ap-
proximately twenty-five thou-
sand miles. The envelope bore
numerous foreign post marks,
but the letter was in good condi-
tion, which is proof positive that
it did not pass through the hands
of the militant suffragettes of the
British Isles.
FARMER PARCEL Post
Parcel
A consignment of whiskey and
beer, valued at one thousand dol-
lars, was recently confiscated by
officers at Lawton, Ok. It was a
collection of orders from whole-
sale houses in Kansas City, Fort
Worth and other points, assigned
to bootleggers, which i eached
Lawton in violation of the new!
federal law prohibiting the ship-
ment of liquor into “dry” states.
This is perhaps the first instance
in which the authority of the new
law was invoked to -suppress
bootlegging in Oklahoma.
Less than thirty days remain
, in which the farmers of the state
may enter the $10,000 crop con-
test of the Texas ^Industrial Con-
gress. Boys and girls between |
the ages of ten and twenty years

Cotton clubs, by cultivating one
acre of corn or one acre of cotton,
While those who are twenty years

the prizes offered for four-acr a
model demonstration farms and
for forage crops both irrigated
and unirrigated. By writing at
once to the Texas Industrial Con-
gress at Dallas full particulars
and blanks for entering the con-

OTICE—I will stand the following described horse this
season at my barn in Cumby:
THEOBALD, No. 4993. He is a German Goach, an
imported horse; a beautiful bay; very stylish and fine ac-
tion; about 16 hands high; weighs about 1250 pounds, with
fine flat bone and a very fine trotter, pedigree as follows:
Sire: —Wrisistokrat, No. 1294, by Maximilian, 1242, or
Remus, No. 1168, or Mateor, No. 1090.
Dam:—Thedra, No. 11769, by Coco, No. 1274, by Emo,
No. 1135, Eggi, No. 1010 and son.
Second Dam;^Theodora, No. S780, by Isilator and son.
Imported by Olmans Bros., Wastka, 111.
This horse is 7 years old, and I will stand him this
season at the low price of $15.00. The only horse of this
breeding that I know of in the state standing at less than
$20.00. He was sold at Mineola two years ago for $2000,
and you may know he is a good one.
Yours for breeding,
JOHN W. MARTIN,
Cumby, Texas.
