What's the matter with the city

furnish water to the residents at
reasonably low rates, in fact much
lower than could be hoped for from
private concerns. Many large cities
of the world, and some cities in Tex
as own the water system, and the
service is eminently satisfactory' in
ever' -way.' The increased cost for
operating the plant would amount
to very little, and the revenue
would be sufficient to pay this and
leave a nice balance to the city's
credit. If a private corporation can
make money by operating a water
works sjstem, why can't the city
do the same? The expense attached
would be less for operating, and
bonds could be voted to pay for the
plant. Of course the measure must
be submitted to the people for their
endorsement, but no one would op
pose a matter of such vital iniport-
ance, tue necessity or wmcn is ap
parent to the most casual observer.
One of the first questions asked by
visitors is "Where are the water
works?" You know the answer.
Shall it be thus for a year or two
more? The Herald hopes not. -
A Summer Tragedy.?
MDid you everin a 'hammock'sit,
And hold your fatly love, ' .
And think no one was looking
Save the little stars above?: -"Did
you ever ask this question,
'Tell me, darling-, can I hope?'
And before you get j'our answer
Have her brother cut the xope?
" 'Tis a feeling ne'er forgotten,
"Tis a moment full of pain,
And 3rou wonder who in blazes
Could have cut that rope in twain .
"And you do not care a hang
Whether darling lets you hope,
But the only thing you're after
Is the kid who cut that rope."

Make your boy a confident. Be
his friend, not his master. It is,
of course, a trifle to you, but the
loss or a tavorite agate is a
serious thing to him. If the does
wrong it is seiaoni necessary to
whip all the pantaloons off of him.
Don't humiliate him when he
makes a break. Perhaps you wasn't
an3- smarter at his age. As long
as he tells you his roubles he is
safe. When he doesn't do it he is
in danger. Tell him of these dan
gers before he blunders into them;
It is not necessary to flag an old
well after a man has fallen into it.
Always tell your boy the truth
for if he detects you lying he losses
confidence in you. Teach him
pure honesty and show him how
happy he can be when he does
right. Show him the beauties of
life, and how God has placed hap
piness 111 reach of evenr human be
ing. See that lie knows how to
earn a living at some -honest pro
fession, and I will guarantee your
boy will grow to be a solace to
our declining years, and an honor
to the community in which he lives-
Give the boy a chance and he will
hot disappoint you. K. Lamity's

successfully conducted one of the

Alex, de la Garza informed the
writer that he would commence
picking cotton this week, and that
he fully expected to have the "first
bale" in by the last of the month.
Mr. Garza's cotton field is located
on the Tordilla ranch, in the west
ern part of Hidalgo county, and as
he is only a few miles from
Sprague's cotton gin his chances
are most excellent for the first
bale. Hidalgo Advance.
Mr. Garza is too late. The first
bale has already been picked, gin

Fellow Feeling.
Daniel O'Day, gentleman farmer
of Deal, N: J., has a story of a lit
tle incident that occurred on one
of the back roads near his place.
A lady and her husband were
driving their auto down the road
when a big cart loaded with bar
rels put in an appearance. There
wa's no room -.to pass and the wo
man spoke sharply to the driver of
the wagon . "
"You must go back sir,,-, for' I
shall not. It was your place to see
11s before you drove into this narr
row lane.
"But my dear" remonstrated he
of the auto, "the driver could not
possibly have seen us coming
around that corner.'4 '
"I don't care, John; I'll sit here
till morning rather than give way
to that man, who ought to have
known we were coming up this
street," snapped the woman-
The auto driver started to apol
ogize for his wife's temper.
"Now, dbn't say a word." said'
the jolly cart driver. "I'll back out
of here. I've got another one just
like her up to my house. There's
only one thing to do, and 111 do it.
Back up there, ponies!" New

The total supply- of -cotton
brought into sight during the first
eight month's of the current season
amounted to 41,534,448 bales, as
compared with 9,494,825 bales for
similar mouths last year, according
to the Department of Commerce
and Labor. The receipts, for April
of the present year, which amount
ed to 902,212 Dales, were over
100,000 bales below the arrivals for
March, but nearly 300,000 bales
greater than those for February.
The greatest amount of cotton
brought into sight for any 'one
month of the present season oc
curred in October, when 2,399,238
bales were received. . Cotton re
ceipts at the various ports during
the season to April 30 amounted to
8,555,753 bales, a gain of nearly
1,700,000 bales if compared with
similar arrivals in 1904, and over
a million bales heavier than those
for 19Q3. For the past eight
months the net overland movement
amounted to 932, 643 bales, and
although this' was somewhat in
excess of a similar movement in
1903-04, it fell over 73,000 bales
below that for 1902-03.
During the current season the
Northern mills have taken 1,922,-
531 bales; while-those in the South
have received 1,669,68S bales, the
Northern mills' takings showing a
slight loss and those ' of Southern
mills a small gain, if ..compared
with similar receipts for previous
years. Of the total export move
ment for eight months, amounting
to 6,962,554 bales, 3,215,485 bales
were destined to Great Britain,
695, 6I2' bales to France, and 3,051,
457 bales to Europe and other
foreign countries. The total ex
port movement for a similar period
in 1904 aggregated 5,534,719 bales,
