We are having some fine weather
this week after a lot of rain. Some
parts of this community had five
inches of rain Sept. 6, and it put the
creeks out of bank. It will be fine
on the fall gardens and small grain.
Some of the farmers are picking
cotton and some gathering corn.

An American on a visit to Devon
stopped to talk to a farmer.
“Do you get much rain here ?
asked.
The farmer shook his head.
“A little, but not much,” he said.
“My neighbor over there gets more
than me.”
The American seemed puzzled.
“But I sure don’t see that, sir,” he
remarked. “Why, your neighbor is
only about a hundred yards away.”
“Still, he gets more rain than me,”
said the farmer. “He has more land
than I have.”

BOATS USED TO GATHER
COTTON AND CORN FROM
FLOODED FIELDS
PALESTINE, Texas, Sept. 13.—
Reaping the season’s harvest in flat-
bottomed boats is a new custom in
the Trinity River bottoms, west of
here. Some of the more extensive
farmers in the lowland area are re-
sorting to use of boats and many
bales of cotton are being picked from
them.
Two men are assigned to each
boat, one rowing over the shallow-
flooded fields, while the other gath-
ers corn or cotton. When the boat
is filled, the workmen row to the
shore and unload.
Farmers using the method say it is
the first time they can remember
when naval tactics were resorted to
to gather the crops. The Trinity re-
cently overflowed, inundating thou-
sands of acres of corn and cotton in
Anderson and Houston counties.
CHILD IS KILLED WHEN HE
TOUCHES BASE LIGHT PLUG
(Houston Chronicle.)
The year-old son of Mr. andd Mrs.
Samuel R. J. Cannata of 701 Olive
was electrocuted Tuesday afternoon
when he stuck his finger in a base
plug at his home. He was rushed to
the Memorial Hospital, but efforts
to revive him failed.
The little boy was playing about
his home. His mother had gone
shopping and left the boy with his
father. Mr. Cannata was lying on
a divan and the boy found the open
base plug and put his finger in it.
Physicians said the shock probably
killed him.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Sept. 13.—
Customs inspectors Monday night
rescued four persons marooned on
Padre Island, 100 miles from Corpus
Christi. The party had been without
food or water for two ays and one
night.
Those rescued were L. V. Stewart,
his 10-year-old daughter, Patricia
Lee; her nurse, Miss Nora O’Connell,
and Dan Pugh. Their automobile
had stalled on the island and high
.ides had prevented their reaching
ihe mainland.
A customs service airplane from
San Antonio was sent to drop them
food and when the tide went out
Dewey Tom and other inspectors
brought the refugees to the main-
land.

An editor wanted a vacation, so he
got one of the ministers of the vil-
lage to run the office for him dur-
ing his absence. The second week of
the minister’s duties was going along
nicely until he opened the mail. One
Claud 1 letter said: “I got a dun from you
for $1.50—now I paid for my paper
and you know it, and if you say I
didn’t. I will come in and knock hell
out of you.”
The minister wrote the man and

jects to the loss of some $4,000 an-
nually to Dallas County because im-
patient couples hie themselves to
Oklahoma, a sort of gargantuan
Gretna Green. Mr. Fisher thinks
that no state should pass such a law
until all other states pass it.
In the days of local option, there
were no dry spots. The community
that voted liquor out of its borders
was served by adjoining wet locali-
ties. Dry states imported liquor
from surrounding wet ones. In those
days, much the same complaint was
heard about liquor laws that Mr.
Fisher makes about the gin mar-
riage law and in time there was a
very inclusive Eighteenth Amend-
ment. It is to be hoped that the
moral is plain.
The comparatively new Texas mar-
riage law is common-sense legisla-
tion. It could be improved, especially
in requiring the health certificate
from both parties to the ceremony
instead of from one. The sense of
legislative delicacy enacting so one-
sided a provision outweighed judg-
ment of proportions in an era of
equal rights. But the law itself
should stand. In time, other States
will adopt it. Texas counties in the
meantime are losing much in fees,
and county officials suffer propor-
tionately, but the final results will
be worth enough to make it worth
our while to absoi*b the losses.
