Cold Storage Inquiry.
A Washington dispatch says
that cold storage methods are to
be investigated by the Senate
committee on commerse with
special reference to the impound-
ing of butter, eggs and fish. The
committe will begin hearings
soon.
Walter Moore, the farmer who
doesn’t raise cotton, but nearly
everything else that grows in the
animal and vegetable kingdom,
was in town Friday and says he
is glad to see the sun.
W. H. Patton and his daugh-
ter, of Coryell county, came in
Thursday. His daughter Miss
Clio came to take the examina-
tion for a second grade teacher’s
certificate. Rev. T. A. Leach
went out with Mr. Patton and
will preach at Harmon Chapel
Sunday.
Mrs. Maria Wachendorfer left
Saturday afternoon for Austin,
where she will spend a day or
two with her son, Charles, who
is a student in the State Univer-
sity. It is very seldom Mrs.
Wachendorfer leaves home, and
Miss Mattie Labbaite’s assurance
that the hotel would be properly
cared for, enabled her to make
this trip in great pleasure.
Caught Twenty Lobos.
Killing three lobos last week,
John Corbet, a well known trap-
per of this section, brought the
total number of these wolves
killed by himself since last Au-
gust up to twenty. The ones he
killed last week had just killed
three calves and dragged them
to their den, he states.
Mr. Corbet, who was in the
city Monday after supplies, has
been confining his operations to
the ranges owned and controlled
by G. W. Tankersley and J. D.
Sugg, and for each lobo he killed
he received $30, making his earn-
ings since last August $600. He
says that while he is thinning the
predatory animals out, there are
plenty of them left, and he will
continue his work of extermina-
tion.
He boasts of holing in captivi-
ty the oldest and largest lobo in
the country. The animal was
captured last September. Mr.
Corbet says the big fellow is ful-
ly as large as a yearling steer
and is about seventy-five years
old. “He is a wise old guy and
fought shy of the trap a long
time before I caught him,” said
the trapper. “He was the leader
of a pack of lobos in this section,
and frequently some of his old
companions locate him in day-
time and come to see him at
night, but when they reach their
destination they land in a trap;
you see I move him about dark
and place a trap at the place I
keep him during the day. I have
caught several in this manner.
I am going to bring him to town
and have his picture taken
sometime.—San Angelo Stand-
ard.
Be a Town Protector.
1 Protect your own town and
thereby show that you are in fa-
vor of protection. If protection
is good for the nation it is good
! for the town. As town people,
we should favor our town above
’ every other as the growth and
I development of it is what will en-
hance the value of all property
both in and about it. Then buy
your dry goods, groceries, hard-
ware, furniture, etc., at home;
have your blacksmithing, your
shoemaking done at home; have
your printing done at home; pat-
-onize home in every instance
that you can. The success of our
merchants and mechanics means
new business houses and resi-
dences, additional demand for
labor of various kinds. To the
farmer a first-class town affords
a better market for his products,
a better trading point, and such
a town is bound to increase the
value of his land. Unquestiona-
ble “in union there is strength.”
Let us protect our town.—Ex.
Robert Louis Stevenson used
to relate the following amusing
story told him by a South Sea
trader: He had been in the habit
of carrying all sorts of tinned
meats, which the natives bought
with avidity. Each tin was
branded with a colored picture—
a cow for beef, a sheep for mut-
ton and a fish for sardines. It
happened that the .firm which
furnished the mutton thought it
a good plan to alter labels, that
its goods might be more easily
distinguished from the others.
The mark chosen was the figure
of a frock-coated Stiggins-like
individual in a chimney pot hat.
The natives at once came to the
conclusion that the tins contain-
ep potted missionary, and there
was a great run on the new line
of goods.—Ex.
Mr. and Mrs. Z. T. Rogers are
here to remain a week or two
with friends. This place was
their home for many years up to
a few years ago, when they
moved to Knox City, where they
still reside. They have been
spending some months with Mr.
and Mrs. Banner at Georgetown
and the two younger daughters
are still there in school. Mr.
Rogers owns some good property
here, and says the entire family
frequently gets “homesick” for
Lampasas. They would be glad-
ly welcomed, should they con-
clude to return here.
High priced land and high
priced feed call for high priced
stock of all kinds. It is as easy
and as cheap to raise a high
priced colt, mule or steer as to
raise a scrub and so on down the
line to chickens and turkeys. All
meat producing animals are sold
by the pound and good stock al-
ways controls a little higher
price. It then becomes a matter
of judgment to make quality sup-
ply quantity—fewer but better
animals.—San Saba Star.
The annual picnic of the
Grundyville community was held
at the gin Thursday. There was
a large crowd present and a gen-
eral good time. A game of base-
ball was played between the
Rock Church team and the Depot
School Sports. The score stood
3 to 1 in favor of Rock Church.
Prof. Harwell of Depot town
school and faculty and quite a
crowd of friends went out to at-
tend the picnic and witness the
game and are loud in their praises
of the hospitality of Grundyville
people. W. Y. Norred entertain-
ed the young people with a party
at night.
No farmer gets rich by the
quantity of the production. It is
the price he gets for his products
and economy and business judg-
ment displayed in management
that makes the farmer wealthy.
We cannot pass a law that will
increase the price of products
or reduce cost of plowing the
land and maketing the crop. We
must depend upon factories and
railroads for marketing our prod-
ucts and upon improved mechan-
ical appliances and the business
ability of the farmer to reduce
the cost of production and to
more intelligently market his
products.—Exchange.
The plows are running again,
after about two weeks of weather
which rendered the land too wet
for the plow. Farmers are plant-
ing cotton, plowing corn, and
smiling over -the prospects for
the finest small grain crop which
has come to this country for
several years. While the cotton
crop will be late, the best farm-
ers think the cotton planted now
will be better than that planted
before the recent wet spell, as it
will grow off at once, while that
planted a few weeks since is al-
ready stunted by the excessive
moisture.
The court of criminal appeals
has pronounced positively that
the masseurs may not practice
their system of curing disease in
Texas. The merit of the treat-
ment is not taken into consider-
ation, but the law is defined, and
that law provides for examina-
tion before a medical board which
does not recognize the several
schools of treatments not orthor-
dox.—Temple Telegram.

Two newspaper drummers who
have recently visited the Sun of-
fice made surprising statements
to the editor relative to the pro-
hibition question in Texas. One
—a German-American—said he
intended voting for prohibition.
“Why,” said the editor, “arn’t
you an anti, and always been an
anti?” “Yes,” replied he, “you
know I am of German parentage
and have always been a moder-
ate beer drinker—I was never
drunk in my life—but I travel all
over Texas, and I have seen so
much misery and wretchedness
in the wet towns and cities pro-
duced by the saloons that I have
resolved to help drive them out
of existence. I am first of all a
law and order man.” The other
drummer, who travels over South
Texas, said: “You would be
surprised at the extent of the
prohibition sentiment in my ter-
ritojy. I was told by an editor
that Washington county was
close, and that Brenham would
go for prohibition.” “That’s
German territory,” said the Sun
man, “how’s that?” “Yes,”
was the answer, “but the old
German and Bohemian fathers
are tired of seeing their sons go
to town sober and come back
home drunk. That’s the reason.”
