els per acre; 6,396 acres of cotton

pasture land, 10,953 gardens, in
the preparation of 62,200 tons of
of fertilizer, and the pruning and
spraying of 4.115 acres of orch
ards. They have encouraged the
stumping of 50,920 acres of land,
the terracing 2,360 acres, and the
drainage of 900 more. They are
also largely responsible for the
purchase of SSOOOOO worth of im
proved machinery.

Heard a fellow kicking on the
baseball sport. Have looked in
al! the law books that we could
find and hailed to find where a
man had to attend a game if he
did not want to. A man don’t
have to go to a picture show,
fishing, hunting, autoing or do
anything that he does not get any
pleasure out of. Found where a
man that wanted to could enjoy
these different sports if he saw
fit, and still be considered a re
spectable citizen. A great many
of them overdo il, and a great
many eat too much also. It is not
a good principle to decry ail
recreation because forsooth some
overdo and abuse them. All
work and no piav makes Jack a
dull citizen, undisputed right to
do as he pleases in the premises.

Aim Was True
“Dad” Miller, the old one-legged
shoemaker of Columbus, likes to
talk about what the soldiers did.
w rites Gregory Mason in the Out
look. He tells how they came in
from the eastern end of the town,
each man dropping on his knee
and covering an enemy with a
cool, unhurried decision, quite
different from tile blind, quick
shooting of the Already weaken
Mexicans. Gradually the invad
ers were swept across the plaza
and out to the rising ground
southwest of the town by the
handful of disciplined American
regulars.
“One o’ the three Lopez broth
ers,” says the venerable leather
worker, “stood on that leetle rise
to the west o’ the station wavin’ a
big sword an’ ti yin’ to rally his
cowardly companions. Major
Tompkins an’ Sergeant Foley
were right in front o' my store
watchin’ ’em.
“ ‘Can you git that feller, ser
geant?’ asked the major.
“ ‘l’ve never missed, sir,’ says
the sergeant, an’ he gits off his
horse, draws a slow bead an’
drops the big feller with the
sword. That took the heart out
o’ them.”
