THE CHICKEN DEMONSTRATION
Judging from reports given in by
those who went on the chicken dem-
onstration and exhibit Wednesday, it
was one of the most successful ever
gotten up. Those accompanying
County Agent J. C. Griffin were: W.
H. Moses, Eugene Key, R. A. Mar-
tin, Chas. Barkley, D. T. Briggs. They
went to Mt. Pleasant, Kempner,
Countyline and Clayrock and Mr. Grif-
fin gave a talk and demonstration at
each one of the schools and at each
place there was a good attendance,
considering the fact that it had not
been advertised thoroughly. Mr. Grif-
fin varied his talks at each place and
made it interesting and applicable to
each community. A great deal of en-
thusiasm was manifested and those
who went on the trip can vouch for
good results. On account of the rain
arid bad roads a part of the itinerary
that was mapped out by the committee
from the Chamber of Commerce, all
the territory has not been covered at
this time.

Work was begun again on prepar-
ing the flower beds on Grand Avenue,
in front of the Baptist and Methodist
churches, Thursday morning. The
work was started some time ago, but
on account of so much rain had to be
discontinued. The civic committee of
the City Federation of Clubs expects
to finish up the clean-up work which
was also interferred with by the
rains. A great many have planted
trees and the planting of shrubbery
* has had a good start. Keep the good
work going and Lampasas will soon
blossom as the rose.
COW-SOW-HEN SPECIAL TRAIN
- The special train bearing a cow-
sow-hen demonstration exhibit will be
at the Santa Fe depot Thursday
morning at 8:30 o’clock on the Santa
Fe track. There will be men accom-.
panying the train who are familiar
with the cow, sow and hen, and the
people generally are invited^o see
the demonstration. If you are rais-
ing stock or poultry it will pay you to
take time to go through this train
and see and hear what is offered. If
the weather is good it is expected a
large crowd will be present. It will
be rather early in the morning for
people to get in from the country,
but in this day of automobiles dis-
tance or time is not such a problem.
Put forth a little extra effort and
get here by 8:30 Thursday morning,
March 15th.
Prof. W. B. Toone left on the noon
train Thursday for Austin to join Dr.
J. V. Brown and consult with the
State Superintendent of Education,
S. M. N. Marrs, in regard to furnish-
ing the necessary laboratory equip-
ment for Camp Marlamont so as
to meet the requirements of affiliated
schools.
E. Stribling, of Johnson City, was
the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Moore Wednesday ni^ht while en
route to Belton to visit his daughter
who is a student of Baylor College.
NEGROES TO BE SENT
TO THE RUHR MINES
New York, March 7.—Harry V.
Daugherty, arriving on the steamship
Majestic Wednesday, announced that
he had perfected plans to transport
between 2,500 and 5,000 American
negro miners to the Ruhr to work
coal mines seized by the French gov-
ernment.
“At least 500 non-union miners from
the West Virginia coal fields will be
sent out on the Orduna, which sails
March 15,” said Mr. Daugherty. “They
will be followed by other shipments
as fast as the men can be collected.”
Mr. Daugherty said Ambassador
jusserand of France, already had tak-
en the matter up with Secretary of
State Hughes and had received assur-
ances that no international complica-
tions would ensue.
The negroes will receive $7 a day
in addition to board and lodging, he
said, and will receive compensation in
event of injury.
Arab labor was given a tryout by
the French but failed to prove hardy
enough to withstand the gas and hard
work, Mr. Daugherty said.
Mr. Daugherty, with his brother,
George Daugherty, a former deputy
police commissioner, operate a detec-
tive agency herer which also special-
izes in providing emergency labor.
FAITHFUL NEGROES IN
SLAVERY GET PENSION
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Columbia, S. C., March 7.—Faithful
negroes who stood by their masters
during the Civil War today were voted
pensions by the South Carolina legis-
lature. The house this afternoon
passed the Johnstone bill providing
such pensions which already had pass-
ed the senate by a vote of 67 to 34.
The bill provides that slaves who
served the state and their masters in
the Confederate army during the war
shall be granted pensions under vir-
tually the same conditions as those
now paid to Confederate veterans.
HOUSE PASSES
HOTEL LIABILITY BILL
Austin, Texas, March 7.—The House
Wednesday morning passed finally the
Senate bill limiting the liability of
hotels and boarding houses for losses
of guests’ property to cases in which
the guest has tendered the property
for deposit. The exemption applies
only in cases where a metal vault or
safe is available for such deposit, and
where the rooms have suitable locks
and bolts and the windows and tran-
soms proper fastenings. The hotel is
liable for losses due to the negligence
or wrongdoing of employes. To es-
cape the liability the hotel or board-
ing house must have a copy of the
bill posted in each room.
Mrs. J. F. Skinner arrived at home
a few days ago from New York and
since" her arrival has been confined
to her room with a cold most of the
time. She is able to be out now, and
says she is enjoying this weather. It
has snowed twenty-four times where
she has been this winter and she is
ready for the warm summer days.
She spent seven and a half months
with her daughter, ' Mrs. Kenneth
Clark, and she reports the family
well.
The flower bed at the H. & T. C.
depot has been molested also, M. L.
Love, the agent, reporting that a nice
thornless rosebush had been pulled up
by the roots and taken away. If any-
one can suggest a remedy to relieve
the city of Lampasas of such charac-
ters as are stealing rose bushes, the
entire community would be grateful
to such a person. We do not like to
think that such persons live here, but
someone seems to be taking special
delight in trying to destroy some of
the flower beds which have been
planted and tended for the purpose of
beautifying the city.
Miss Sallie Brown has a rose bed
in her yard which she has taken great
care of the past two or three years
and she had one particularly nice
Marechal Niel bush which she was
expecting to derive much pleasure
from this spring and summer. But
when she arose early Wednesday
morning and discovered that some-
one had dug. up every vestige of this
particular rose bush and taken it
away, she was the victim of disap-
pointment. It is impossible for the
writer to associate a thief with roses,
and it is difficult to determine the
motive for stealing a rose bush.
W. H. Corbin, of the Grundyville
community, marketed seventeen bales
of cotton in Lampasas Thursday. The
cotton market here has been slow as
practically all the cotton has been
marketed, but Mr. Corbin’s seventeen
bales on the square at one time gave
the appearance of business picking
up. Cotton sold here Thursday at 31
cents, which is considered a very good
price.
Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Bowmer, of
Burnet, took the train here Thursday
morning for Temple, where Mrs. Bow-
mer will receive treatment in a hos-
pital.
Mrs. M. F. Booth, who has been
here several months visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Elza Smith, left Thurs-
day morning for Quanah to visit in
the home of another daughter, Mrs.
Edward Wykes. Mrs. Booth enjoyed
her visit in Lampasas and of course
she will be coming back .
Rev. J. Grady Timmons received a
message during the prayermeeting
service at the Methodist church Wed-
nesday night, calling him to Waco on
account of the death of his sister, Mrs.;
Ruth Huggins, 23 years of age. He
left on the night train for Waco to
attend the funeral. The deceased had
been sick for about eighteen months,
and her death was not altogether a
shock to Bro. Timmons, but in case
of long sickness death is even a sur-
prise then. She was a Christian wom-
an and was prepared to meet her
Maker, and there is not that sadness
which might be attached to her death'
otherwise. Mrs. Timmons was al-
ready in Waco visiting the home of
another sister, and both will return
home in time for Bro. Timmons to
fill his pulpit Sunday.

A Nation's Tribute to 'Buick
There is an inspiring tribute to an industry in the universal recog-
nition annually accorded the National Automobile Shows.
Thousands come to these exhibitions from every section of the
continent and from foreign lands as well, and their advent is widely
heralded the world over.
In the twenty-third National Automobile Show in New York and in
Chicago, the nation was provided with a display of its chief means
of personal transportation. This display was so complete and so
magnificently set forth that all who came easily carried away a per-
fect picture of the latest accomplishments in motor car building.
Year after year the national shows receive the homage of the en-
tire country. Year after year they mark by their own increased
magnitude and splendor, the increased growth of the automobile
industry.
They are, in fact, national institutions, reflecting the nation’s pride
and esteem in one of its foremost enterprises.
In occupying first place at both national shows for the fifth con-
secutive year, Buick continues the position in the industry awarded
it by universal public opinion.
When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them.
