Never do a thing gratis today
that someone is likely to pay you
to do tomorrow.
Marriage is a lottery in which
a blank is a man whose wife has to
take in washing to support him.
At least the mayor of Terre
Haunte. who has been sent to pris
on. will be satisfied with one term.
When the human race succeeds
in killing itself off the gorillas
and chimpanzees will again inherit
the earth.
No matter how insignificant a
man may be, he is finally convinced
that his superiority will some day
be recognized.
Swatting the flies is less sensa
tional than some other forms of
warfare, but it does not disgrace
civilaztion.
Being deprived of arms and am
munition South America is without
a revolution for the time being and
may learn to like the sensation.
About the only favorable thing
that is now being said of the liquor
traffic is that it has been the direct
cause of some exceedingly fine
temperance oratory.
Love is that indescribable some
thing that gets into a fellows sys
tem about the time his mustache
begins to come out, and it general
ly stays with him until he is mar
ried. It makes him sick in a way
he likes, and instead of doctoring
for the germ, he does all he can to
give it a nice, fat living. Having
never been a girl, we don’t know
how they feel when they are in
love, but we imagine they feel just
like big chunks of candy, wanting
someone to come and eat them up.

THE PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE.
A gigantic shipping combination,
the greatest ever conceived in the
history of the world, with a capital
of hundreds of millions of dollars,
and with all the governments of
South and Central America, as well
as that of th'e United States, as
owners of the controlling interests,
may be thfj outcome of the Pan
American financial conference now
in session at Washington.
If the United States possessed
an adequate Merchant Marine this
country would be enjoying the
most stupendous and far reaching
business boom that was ever
known. "We could sell abroad at
least $100,000,000 per month
more than we are selling which is
$250,000,000, if we had the ships
to carry the good s.
It is believed that a tremendous
merchant marine will be the result
of this conference. South and
Central America want more of
our goods and we have not the
ships bo carry them and neither
have they. Brazil and Argentine
have just established a merchant
marin.e between those countries
and this, but it is still inadequate.

What Are We Waiting For?
Why should we postpone our lov
ing and the being happy that goes
with It? The wife we are going to
show more affection for as soon as we
have made a little more of a pile, the
husband we are going to be more -
companionable and sunshiny with as .
soon as we get a little more service
in the house, the children whose lives
we will enter more fully as soon as we
feel the pressure of circumstances a
little less, the people we are going to
show how genial we really are as soou
as we have time—none of these ways
of loving depend on the things we are
waiting for. Indeed, our opportunity
comes more now than it will come
when we have these things. The very
pressure of our day brings us in con
tact with people who must need a
show of kindliness, and who will
warmly respond to it. The wife most
needs and will value most love in her
days when she is most being a help
meet. The husband most needs and
most prizes love in his years of strug
gle. What are we waiting for? The
kingdom of heaven is within an<J will
not come of circumstances.
Hlg Fancy Dress Suit.
A recruiting officer In a Lancashire
district tells the following veracious
story:
He served In the Royal Horse ai^
tlllery In the South African war, and
when the war was over a lot of offi
cers got up a fancy dress ball in Cape
Town.
Several of them were discussing
what “characters" to assume, when
one of them ofTered to wager he
would go In a “get-up" that would In
sure that no lady at the ball would
dance with him.
The wager was taken up by sever- I
al; the ball came off, and the officer
won.
He went as a barbed-w’ire entangle
ment!—London Tit-Bits.
For Defective Thermometer.
When the mercury thread In a ther
mometer tube separates into two por
tions, with a gap between, the simplest
remedy and one that usually proves
satisfactory on the first trial, Is ps fol
lows: Place the thermometer In the
end of a long stocking, the bulb being
towards the toe, and whirl at arms
length as rapidly as possible. Centrifu
gal force is thus produced, the effect
of which is to force the detached por
tion of mercury back until it joins the
thread nearer the bulb. If not success
ful at the first attempt, immerse in hot
water for a moment and try again.
Dally Thought.
Nothing will ever be attempted if all
possible objections must be first over
come.—Dr. Johnson.
Canada’s Capital.
The old seat of government In
French Canada w as the city of Que
bec. Under British rule the capital
was Montreal, but as a result of a
riot in 1S49 the government was re
moved and alternated between Toron
to and Quebec until 1858, in which
year Queen Victoria selected Ottawa
as the capital of Canada. Ottawa was
founded under the name of Bytown in
1829 and was incorporated in 1854
when the name was changed.
Spanish Province of Almerla.
The province of Almerla lies in the
southernmost part of Spain border
ing on the Mediterranean sea. It com
prises 3,360 square miles, and in 1909
had a population of 359,013. Almerla,
with a population of over 50,000, is its
capital and principal seaport.
Comer on Calendars.
Among the Greeks and Romans al
manacs or calendars were not written
for the general public, but were pre
served as part of the esoteric learning
of the priests, whom the people had
to consult, not only for the dates of
the festivals but for the proper times
when various legal proceedings might
be instituted. History does not relate
how the society women of ancient
times managed to get through a sea
son without an engagement calendar.
There’s the Rub.
The one phase of inequality as be
tween the sexes that the average worn
an resents most deeply is the fact that
her husband never considers it in
cumbent upon him to wash out the
bathtub when through with it for the
time being.—Ohio State Journal.

Mr. farmer and Live Stock Grower, the
Lubbock Sudan Grass Seed Association
Is calling to you to quit buying feed and buy Sudan Grass Seed.
The Lubbock Sudan Grass Seed Association was organized last
year and is composed of Lubbock county farmers who are pro
ducers of pure Sudan Grass Seed. Every crop handled by this
association, was inspected in the field before the crops were har
vested, by a committee of five men. Mr. V. L. Cory, superin
tendent of Lubbock sub-station No. 8, a state experiment sta
tion, is chairman of said committee. All crops found to be
poisoned by obnoxious pests and weeds were condemed and not
handled by this association. Mr. farmer, do not be misled by the
“inspection certificate.” You have no way in the world to con
nect the seed with the certificate offered. $udan grass is a big
hay producer as a follow-crop after harvesting the wheat and
oats. It can be planted, with good results, up to July first. Pure
recleaned, well matured, officially inspected Sudan grass Seed,
forty cents per pound delievered. Seed that will please you and
produce satisfactory results. Free booklet on request—“The
Story of Sudan Grass."
