here in Texas many families and

by the State Health Depart-

a few days ago that they had not

they screened their house, where-

year to from $50 to $200. In a

Col. F. B. Baillio, one of the
best known pioneer newspaper
men of Texas died at his home in
Cleburne the 25th of August, af-
ter an illness of several months.
Col .Baillio was one of the “old
guard” of Texas journalism, and
will be missed by all the news-

well known to all.

perity ruled throughout the land.
At that time every railroad in
the South was crowded to the ut-
most limit of it’s carrying capac-
ity. Every industrial enterprise
was busy. Every man who wanted
work could find it. A spirit of
broad constructive upbuilding
was in evidence. Hundreds of
millions of dollars were being ex-
pended in the extension of rail-
road facilities. The music of prog-
ress was being sung from one end
of the South to the other, and
every wheel that turned on rail or
in factory was singing a note of
optimism and of active develop-
ment of commercial and indus-
trial interests. The change from
that situation to the present came
long before the present war. It
came in 1907 and has existed
ever since.

Dallas News: That the country
bankers of Texas not Only are
willing to co-operate with the far-
mers for the profitable marketing
of the cotton crop, but they are
and have been doing so is the em-
phatic assertion made by John A.
Thompson, president of the Corsi-
cana National Bank, who was in
Dallas yesterday.
“There is a great deal of spec-
ulation as to what the country
banker will do about loaning mon
ey at low rates of interest to far-
mers for the purpose of carrying
cotton,” said Mr. Thompson.
“Much is being done to raise the
‘expectations of the farmers that
they will get money at 6 per cent
and much is being said that has a
tendency to create the impression
that country bankers do not want
to help in the realization of an
adequate price for cotton.
“Seemingly some of those who
are thus talking either do not
know what the country bankers
have already done, or else they
have forgotten.

a few days later. That price may
have been a little too high at the
start, bnt it gave something t6* tie

dorsements, it enoouraged the
farmers to withhold their cotton
