Not Early Enough for Texas.
The icderal government -cut out a -tory
the other day advising the testing of s,.»>d
corn. At that time the new corn crop was
already on the way in tin* community. The
advice may have been issued in time to
benefit the corn growers of the north, hut
it surely emne too late for Texas. We
must criticise the department ol ugncul- ,
ture for being a ship at the switch. If
that department desires to send out infor
mation to farmers it should distinguish be
tween sections «,t the country.— Temple

youth of the town art? affected by their

Ten Words.
A man had recently met an elderly
maiden lady in a near’iy town. On hi* re
turn home he wrote, asking her to marry
him and requesting i.u *i*wcr by tele

rushed to the telegraph otliee. “How much
doe- it cost to send a telegram?” she de
manded. “Twenty-tive cents for ten

was the telegram her -tutor received: “Ye-,
Yes, \es, Ye-, Yes Ye-, Ye-, Yes, Yes,
Yes.”—Brooklyn Eagle.

Of the big street shooting frays.
