Branding Irons Tell Story of
Romantic Period.
Alpine, Texas.—Branding Irons that
burned claiming marks in the hides of
yearlings during the last century lie In
historical Importance at Sul Boss
Teachers' college here.
Oattle rustling, drives over long
trails to northern grazing lands and
markets and all the color of pioneer
ing in the Big Bend country of west
Texas are connoted in these curiously
twisted pieces of Iron.
They were collected from over the
Pecos river country by Henry T.
Fletcher, Brewster connty banker and
ranchman, and presented to the West
Texas Historical and Scientific so
ciety, of which he Is president.
Oita Ueed Nlnaty-tta Years.- -
Among the 00 Irons Is the ''O'' from
the H. L. Kokornot ranch, one of the
•Ideit brands In Texas. It was reg
istered In 1838 and the mark has been
vsed contlnwmsly for the last 90
years. The brand was bought by the
Kokornots from a man named Jones,
and four generations of the family
have seen their herds go out to the
spring grazing country with the 0’s
burned on their hides.
The Kokernot ranch covers 600
acres In the four counties of Pecos,
Jeff Davies, Reeves and Brewster.
The original small “S,” brand of
the Anti-Horse Thief association of
Texas, is one of the prize possessions
In the collection. It was made at
Boeing Gets Medal
Marlin In 1804 and an affidavit at
tests Its authenticity. The handle of
the Iron Is gone, broken off when a
horse thief was hit on the head In a
raid on a rustler’s hangout
“Spectacle Q" Hat History
An old soldier of fortune’s “Spec
tacle O’’ brand is one of the most
curious In the exhibition.
When George McGuire, Portuguese-
Irlsh soldier, stacked his guns and
came to the Big Bend country In 1887,
he had a brand fashioned which he
thought would be thief-proof for his
fling as a frontier cattleman. It was
a circle, five inches In diameter, with
a letter “Q” In the center. Thieves
stole his cattle, burned the “G” into
a circle and called It a new brand—
■ the Double Circle.
McGuire burned two of the brands
on the side of each of his animats
and connected the brands with a
straight bar burn, originating the
“Spectacle O."
All brands were registered In a
“brand book”—as legal to-eaUle toeo
as a government copyright The book
bore the marks of the west Texas
ranchmen and Infractions were
checked against Inscriptions on the
thumbed pages.
Business Upturn Shown '
by Leipzig Trade Fair
Leipzig.—The official report of the
700-year-old Leipzig Trade fair Just
concluded shows a marked Increase In
size and attendance. The fair which
has long been considered an accurate
barometer of business conditions has
been watched with special attention
this year. The spring fair comprised
7,502 exhibits, representing every In
dustrial activity, an Increase of 18 per
cent over last year. Exhibits were
sent by 24 countries Including the
United States, and buyers were regis
tered from 71 countries, maintaining
the International character of the ex
change. More than 150,000 business
men of which 16,000 were foreigners
attended the fair, an Increase of 35
per cent compared with last year. The
general sample_falr reports an ad
vance of 35 per cent In the volume of
business transacted and the technical
fair sold 30 per cent to 50 per cent
more goods than In 1033.

Hen Assists Cat in
Caring for Kittens
Columbus, Ind.—A Rhode Island
Red hen and a mother cat with
five kittens take turns In caring for
the kittens in a chicken house at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Heltz,
of East Columbus. The cat select
ed one of the hem nests as a place
for her kittens and when she leaves
the nest the hen hovers over them,
and roosts near the nest at night.
Occasionally, when the kittens
are asleep, the cat and the hen can
be seen strolling about together.

discovered that the crack came at
about the time the furnace needed a
fresh supply of fuel. While thla Inci
dent would have passed unnoticed by
the majority of night watchmen. It
started Mr. Spencer to thinking. Upon
closer observation he discovered that
the sharp noise came from the center
of the furnace door when It was hotter
than the outer rim, and'also snapped
again when the cooling process set In.
He worked at this Idea, with the final
reward, after years of hard toll, of
having made the first thermostat
Some claim that the power of obser
vation Is a special glff with which
only a f^w people are endowed. On
the contrary It Is something which cau
easily be cultivated. Not only are the
3 things we look for nearest to us, but
the opportunities for personal ad
vancement and happiness are also all
around us, but it takes gn observing
eye to see them. The same law holds
good In the world of emotional and
spiritual values. The blessings of
friendship and love are frequently
very near us, but we fall to see them
because wel have not developed the
art of observation.
„ “Seek and ye shall find," Is a law
which hasjproven Its value many tlmea.
There are “sermons In stones—and
good In everything” to the person with
an observing eye and a patient mind.

T HE homemaker who has not Inher
ited money has two ways df Ae-
qulring it One Is to make money and
the other is to save. It Each way has
Its advantages and 'also Its disadvan
tages. There Is something stimulating
about being paid for one’s labor, but
It Is not always possible to have time,
energy for extra work, or money-mak
ing ability. On the other hand there
Is satisfaction in
realizing that by
careful manage-
m e n t and thrift
without stinting,
small sums of
money are accumu
lating to buy want-
ed articles. There
is in this none of
the flair of busi
ness, but also there
are not the per
plexing problems to
beeoped with which
commercial enter
prises, however
small, always have.
Also there is no
lurking apprehen
sion that home du
ties may have been
neglected, or at
least slighted, by
busying oneself
with work entirely
outside home re
quirements.
There certainly
are points In favor
of, and against
etch of the meth
ods for the homemaker. It Is for her
to decide which she wishes most to do,
make money or save Hi and which
she can be most successful in. It is
probable that at far as the wish is con
cerned, the pendulum would swing far
in., favor of earning with most women.
It Is more than probable, however,
that managing and running a home,
even with the aid of delicatessen foods
and cramped living quarters, plus ap
plication to business will be too tax
ing to strength. Men, who are recog
nized as having stronger physiques, do
not attempt such duplex drain upon
their energies.
When Well Fitted.
. The woman who has business
acumen! who excels in making or
creating s demand for wares; or who
has pronounced ability In management
of affairs plus business smoothness
with co-workers, competitors and pur
chasers, is generally able to lead a
business life and run a home by hir
ing a working housekeeper. She must
expect to give up many of the social
pleasures of entertaining and being en
tertained and little home activities
which lend so much charm to home
life. She becomes director of a house
hold, giving orders as would a director
of an Institution. She relinquishes
many of tbq Joys of homelife and
homemaking. She Is a wage earner. In
a large or small way. She. can buy
and pay for service and needed things.
Such a life may be one of choice or
necessity. .
The woman who must save to ac
quire money puts home above things.
It is only when she reaps the reward
of success In her devotion to It, that
she wins out It is payment but not
in dollars and cents. It Is these she
must thriftily accumulate without be
coming niggardly. Some women are
best fitted to acquire money by sav
ing rather than by earning It.
Regarding Homemakers.
To be competent and at the same
time good-natured is an unusual com
bination. It Is Important for the ex
pert homemaker to appreciate this and
to be on her guard against allowing
her annoyance to show when she sees
those who should know how to do a
thing well, being careless about It
This Is really one of the most diffi
cult things a fine homemaker has to
contend with. She has worked hard
to find the best ways to do the work,
and has found what seems the most
expert. To be competent means Just
that—that the person knows the best
way of performing tasks which fall to
her lot to do, and that she does them
thus expertly. The competent home
maker (s the successful one as far as
her management and work are con
cerned. -To add good-humor to this Is
To be careless and good-natured Is
a common combination. Such a per
son lets work slide off her shoulders
with a laugh, not heeding Its quality.
The home Is run In a hap-hazard way,
sometimes well, but more often shift
lessly. To get the work out of the
way somehow, anyhow, seems satisfy
ing to her. and since it does not bother
her, she falls to appreciate It may be
disturbing to those of her household.
Her saving grace Is her even dis
position. This shofffd not be belittled,
however much one could wish her
work was as fine as her disposition.
