Prohibition was lost in Wichita
County by over 500 majority. The
statement was frequently made
before the election that the liquor
trafic made Wichita Falls and
prohibition would ruin the town.
Texas Farm and Ranch asks
' the question why not get togeth-

Wahington, Augs. 2.—Resourc-
es of the Federal Reserve banks
will be relied upon this year to
facilitate the movement of farm
products, which has heretofore
been met through deposits of
large amounts of currency in na-
tional banks throughout the coun-
try by the Secretary of the reas-
ury. In a letter to Federal Re-
serve Board calls attention to
Section 13 of the act, giving spe-
cific permission for the redis-
counting for member banks of
notes, drafts and bills of ex-
change secured by staple agri-
cultural products, which is in-
tended to enable producers to
market theri crops in a normal
and effective manner.
In view of the large surplus re-
serves held by the Federal Re-
serve banks the board believes
there should be no difficulty in
affording to the producers the
assistance necessary to enable
them to market their products in
volume corresponding to the pow-
er of trade to absorb them. It is
suggested that the Federal Re-
serve banks adopt a definite pol
icy with reference to rediscount-

London, July 30.—The war has

Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 1.
—The official records show that
Texas has sent to Colorado
Springs and the Pikes Peak re-
gion this season more represent-
atives than any two states in the
union. This region always has
been a favorite spot with folks of
the Lone Star State and this year
is no exception. Texas pennants
flutter from scores of automo-
biles, little Texas signs flap from
coat lapel and shirtwaist. But the
Texas girl is the one infallible
sign. Texas sends more pretty
girls, the newspapers say, to Col-
orado Springs and the surround-
ing region than any other state.
News brought here by Texas
motorists indicate that the Colo-
rado to the Gulf highway is in
prime condition for almost its en-
tire length. The best indication
of good! roads, however, is the
travel thereon and that travel
has been growing daily, until
there is a daily caravan of motors
of all sizes and all sorts. The
lowly “Flivver” car, speeding
along with its big, beautiful
neighboring expensive machine
is an indication that there is pros-
perity in Texas and everybody
is able to come for a vacation in
the cool mountains.
Early in August Texans are to
invade and • capture Manitou, the
captured city being especially
willing. This will be on Texas
Day when the Texans will gath-
er by the hundreds to whoop up
the fact that the Lone Star State
is the state for them. Efforts are
now being made to get some
prominent speakers to make the
addresses. A decorated automo-
bile parade* is planned, there will
be competitive sports for Repre-
sentatives of the various cities, a
special lunch and a band concert,
one half of which will be South-
ern melodies.
Colorado Springs and the Pikes
Peak region are greatly interest-
ed in the work of the Puget Soun
to Gulf Highway Association and
is planning to have some repre-
sentatives present at the annual
meeting to be held in Brady Au-
gust 13. The fact that the stated
have so much in common in good
road matters is expected to
bring about co-operation in the
matter of highways. There are
many inquiries here about that
road and the Chamber of Com-
merce is interested in knowing
that it. is progressing in true
