$200,000 HOTEL FOR
ODESSA.
In October the Elliott Hotel,
at Odessa, was opened to the
public. Only three stories of
the structure had been com-
pleted at that time, but more
stories are to be added. The
total cost of the building will
be in excess of $200,000. The
hotel was built for and will
be owned by Mr. and Mrs.
George Elliott. Mr. Elliott is
an ex-cow puncher, but is now
a well-known oil man and cap-
italist.
THIRTY MILES OF ROAD
FOR FREESTONE.
Work is now in progress on
about thirty miles of hard-
surfaced roads in Freestone
county. A concrete road will
be constructed on State high-
way No. 7 from Geppert Hill
east through Fairfield to the
new all-we»ther bridge across
the Trinity. Asphalt will be
laid through Teague, which
will give a continuous pave-
ment from Teague to the
Trinity river.
ELLIS HAD 28 COMMUNITY
FAIRS.
Ellis county doubtless leads
the State in the number of
community fairs held this
year. There were twenty-
eight such community events
in this county. All the fairs
were well attended and had
fine exhibits.

First colored boy: “Whut youse all
limpin’ fer, niggah?"
Second colored boy: “Ise got failin’
arches frum bein’ hit on de head wid a
sledge hammer.”
He is a Busy Man.
A colored man being interviewed by
authorities in regard to a shooting af-
fray gave to the world this bit of phi-
losophy :
“Ah didn’t see nothin’ so ah don’t
know nothin’!” “You alls know, boss, ah
spends six months of every year ’tendin’
mah own business and ah spends de
odder six months of the year tryin’ to
keep frum 'tendin’ other people’s busi-
ness,”
Wise Boy.
“Why was Solomon the wisest man in
the world?” asked the lady teacher.
"Because he had so many wives to
advise him,” answered the bright boy.
“Well, that is not the answer in the
book, but you may go up to the head of
the class,” replied the teacher.
Wake Up the Preacher!
Many years ago a country preacher
wrote to Henry Ward Beecher and asked
what ought to be done by the pastor
when members of his congregation went
to sleep'during the sermon. Beecher
wrote somewhat to the following effect:
“Dear Brother—when any member of
my congregation goes to sleep my dea-
cons are instructed to come and wake
me up.”
Surplus Disposal.
“How was your peach corp this sea-
son ?”
“Why, a heavy storm blew down 50
per cent of it. And we’d hardly gather-
ed that when another wind came along
and took down the remaining 50 per
cent.” .
“Hard luck! Could you do anything
with them?”
“Oh, my wife ate one and I ate the
other,”
A Good Cne.
When Mark Twain was editor of a
paper in Virginia City, a subscriber who
found a spider in his paper wrote asking
whether this was good or had luck.
Twain answered through his paper:
“The finding of a spider in your copy
of the ‘Enterprise’ was neither good luck
nor bad. The spider was merely look-
ing over our pages to find out what mer-
chant was not advertising, so that it
could spin its web across his door and
lead a free and undisturbed existence
ever after.”
Little Mary.
Mother was teaching little Mary, age
three, the prayer, “Our Father,” by hav-
ing her x’epeat each short sentence, as
mother said it. Mary was learning nice-
ly the first week of her lesson.
The second week, when mother came
to the sentence, “Give us this day our
daily bread.” Mary hesitated slightly,
looked up at mother and said “Mother,
I want some peanut butter on my bread.”
Do You Blame Him?
O’Shaughnessy came to Ellis Island
in the steerage, and made his pile with-
in ten years. He decided to make a
splurge, and started by strutting into
the swellcst Broadway restaurant he
could find, and ordering the waiter to
bring him everything on the bill of fare.
Luckily, it was a table d’hote.
O’Shaughnessy consumed the soup,
the lobster, the lettuce garnished with
parsley; and then was served with fried
eels.
“Waiter!” he roared. “I've drunk yer
dishwater. I’ve et yer insecks, I’ve swal-
lered yer grass; but I’ll be damned if I’ll
eat yer wurrums!”
Another Washington.
Casey hurried down to where poor Ri-
ley’s body lay, after Riley had fallen five
stories from the building on which they
were both working. “Are ye dead,
Pat?”
“That Oi am.”
“Faith, an’ ye’re such a liar Oi don’t
know whether to belave yez or not.”
Riley did his best to lift up his head.
“That proves Oi’m dead, ye dirthy
doubter; if Oi wuz alive, ye wouldn’t
dare to call me a liar!”
BEAUMONT SCHOOLS ADD
PRINTING PLANT.
The art of printing is now
being taught in the schools of
Beaumont. Students who so
desire are taught linotype
composition, press work and
other branches of printing.
The Board of Education re-
cently set aside an appropria-
tion for materia! and equip-
ment. A newspaper contain-
ing news of all Beaumont
schools will be printed in the
plant, as well as the annual
year book.
He Found Out.
A shortsighted man who was also
very inquisitive was walking in the
country one day when he saw a notice
board nailed on a tree that stood in a
field. As he could not read the notice
at that distance, curiosity prompted
him to climb over the fence and walk
across the field toward the tree.
A few moments later he managed to
scramble back over the fence just in
time to escape the horns of a charging
bull.
“Well.” he gasped breathlessly, “I
had the satisfaction of finding out what
the notice was.”
It said: “Beware of the bull.”
Surprising Her.
A farmer brought some produce to
the city and sold it. Thought he, “1
will surprise my wife,” So he bought a
suit of clothes, a hat and a pair of shoes
and put them under the back seat of
his wagon. On his way home he stop-
ped at the river and. taking off his old
clothes, threw them in the water. Then
he looked under the seat for his new out-
fit. It was gone. Finally, he got into
the wagon and said, “Giddap, Maude,
we’ll surprise her anyhow.”
His Cross.
Judge D. P. Dyer tells the following:
At a recent examination of 151 men
who wished to become citizens of the
United States, he had asked one appli-
cant the usual questions and had receiv-
ed satisfactory replies, although it was
evident that the man had a hard time
fathoming some of the questions. At
last he asked:
“And now, do you belong to any so-
ciety or organization inimical to the Gov-
ernment of the United States?”
This was too much for the man, and
he was silent. Judge Dyer explained the
meaning, and again asked the question.
A gleam of understanding overspread
the face of the man, and he replied:
“Yes, judge. I’m a Democrat.”
POULTRY HINTS
By F. W. KAZMEIER
Poultry Breeder, Bryan, Texas.
FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS.
Eggs are again worth real money. Those
people that fed their flock well the entire sum-
mer and fall are now beginning to reap rich
rewards; those on the other hand, that stop-
ped feeding a balanced ration, explaining that
they wanted their flock to go on a vacation,
because of low-priced eggs, will now realize
their mistake and by the time their flock will
be back in laying condition, the price of eggs
will again look downward.
Bred-to-Lay Stock.
Feeding is an important factor to get fall
and winter eggs. Breeding is equally as im-
portant. Unless you have bred-to-lay stock,
it will be more or less discouraging to get
good egg-production at this time of the year.
Egg-production is bred into hens by careful
breeding, selection, culling and trap-nesting.
Hens do not inherit it by accident.
Time of Hatching.
Early hatched pullets, especially among such
breeds as Rocks, Reds, Wyandottes, etc., are
necessary to get heavy egg production at this
season. Among these breeds and other so-
called medium weight breeds, we recommend
hatching in January, February and March. In
the case of White Leghorns and other small
breeds, we recommend hatching in March,
April and May. In case of these small breeds,
when hatched too early, you will find them
going into a so-called ‘‘Neck Moult” at this
time, instead of laying eggs. April and May
hatched Leghorn pullets are not as apt to go
into this neck moult. Pullets in this neck
moult will not be laying much for several
weeks.
Yearling hens, or older, cannot be expected
to give much of a fall or early winter egg pro-
duction because they must go thru the annual
moult. It is part of nature’s provision for
hens to moult ench year. While they are moult-
ing they do not lay very much. The better

bred-to-lay hens will start back to laying soon
after they complete the moult. Hens as an
average will not do much laying until January
or latter part of December. Pullets hatched at
the right time can be handled to give their
best production during these months.
Feeding.
Going on the assumption that you have a
flock with egg-production bred into them,
proper feeding will surely mean a good produc-
tion. The hen is a machine, and when fed
proper material will give good production. Like
any other machine, however, she cannot create
something out of nothing. For best results
and for most efficient production, it is neces-
sary to feed a balanced ration. Feeding for
eggs, primarily, is a care of feeding a mash
mixture and scratch grains. As’ a matter of
fact, the scratch grain feed is of only minor
importance. The kind of dry mash or egg
mash that is fed, however, is of very great
importance. The egg mash may be likened
unto a throttle on the steam engine. The egg
mash is what makes the eggs. As a general
rule it is best to feed a good commercial egg
mash and if you grow your own grains, to
feed a home grain mixture. If you cannot se-
cure a good commercial egg mash, then it is
necessary to ma'ke your own egg mash mix-
ture. In that case you will have to work up
some kind of a mixture from whatever mill
feeds you can buy locally. Of this mixture
we recommend that you use at least 20% of
some high-grade meat scraps, or if you can
get dried buttermilk locally, then we recom-
mend 16% high-grade meat scraps and 10%
dried buttermilk. These two ingredients are
important and necessary for best results. Sup-
plementing this, we recommend:
Late in the afternoon sparing feeding of
some scratch grains.
Milk in any form as a drink.
All the succulent greed food they will eat.
Oyster shell before them all the time.
Water to drink.
OWNS MUSKET USED IN
MEXICAN WAR.
Rev. C. A. Tower, pastor of
the First Methodist church of
Jefferson, owns two ancient
muskets, one of which it is
said was used by a Texan in
the Mexican war; with the
other Capt. Bob Smith is said
to have killed Chief Bowles in
a battle fought by Texans and
Cherokee Indians in Van
Zandt county in 1839. The
rifle last mentioned is ornate
with carved silver and gold,
and its stock is of bird’s-eye
maple. It was originally a
flintlock, but Capt. Smith
changed it into a percussion
cap model.
Chief Bowles, who, it is
said, was killed with this old
gun, led the semi-civilized
Cherokees from along Smack-
over creek. in Arkansas, to the
three forks along the Trinity,
near Dallas, said Mr. Tower,
who is a close student of early
Texas history.
GAS TAX $1,700,000,
Collections from the 3-cents
per gallon tax on gas lines in
August amounted to $1,700,-
000, which was an increase of
$100,000 over the previous
month. Three-fourths of this
tax goes to the State Highway
Department and one-fourth to
the available school fund.

VALUE OF TEXAS CROPS.
The total value of Texas
crops this year will probably
be $100,000,000 or more above
the value of the crops of 1926,
according to preliminary pro-
duction estimates of the Unit-
I ed States Department of Ag-
riculture. Last year the value
of Texas crops was given at
$631,000,000. The greater
part of this year’s increase
I over last year’s crop value
will be due to the better price
of cotton. While the produc-
tion of cotton this year will be
under the production of 1926,
yet due to the higher price
the total gross income to the
farmer will be far above that
of last year.
