1925 has been kind to Van Zandt County. Over 17,000
more bales of cotton were ginned here in 1925 than in
1924. Those who raised trucks of various kinds have
done well with it. Despite the slump in cotton, which
came along toward the latter part of the season, the
.County as a whole is in excellent financial condition.
Grand Saline herself has seen some improvements.
New business houses have been erected, and several
have been remodeled. An unprecedented interest is be-
ing taken in better methods of farming by the men liv-
ing in Grand Saline’s trade territory.

Insolvencies in the United States for the month of
November, as compiled from the records of R. G. Dun &
Co., numbered 1,672 with liabilities of $35,922,421, these
figures contrasting with 1,581 similar defaults in Oc-
tober with an indebtedness of $29,543,870 and 1,653 for
November, 1924, owing $31,123,910. With the exception
of November, 1924, insolvencies last month were fewer
in number than for any corresponding month since
November, 1920, and the increase this year over Novem-
ber 1924, is trifling—only about 1 per cent. The increase
last month over the preceding month was 5.8 per cent,
but such a gain in November is usual as the end of the
year approaches. The indebtedness involved continues
heavy, due mainly to some large defaults. The liabili-
ties for November this year are larger than they were
a year ago, but with that exception are less than for
November in any preceding year back to 1920. _
For the eleven months of this year there have beenj Mr- Gil,Kilby a,n'1 fami,y "cre the
19,436 commercial failures with liabilities of $407,216,-l^ndlV ' H Houtls ,n<1 fam,ly
112, against 18,575 for eleven months of 1924, owing'
$497,946,168. An increase this year over last year ap-
pears in each month excepting May August and October
while the increase for November as noted above was
very small. For the year 1925, however, the indications
point to the largest number of commercial failures for
any year excepting only 1922 and 1915.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 2.-Drawn by
the first of the new Texas and Pacific
900-class locomotives, the Sunshine
Special passed througn Dallas, Wed-
nesday afternoon with nineteen steel
cars, said to be the longest passenger
train ever operated in Texas.
The train was operated out of Ft.
Worth with engine No. 901. l'oUI
sleepers from San Antonio and
Houston were to be added at Long-
view. The longer train is made pos-
sible .because of the added power <>f
the new locomotives. These engines
are equipped with boosters, making
starting easy and attaining high speed
possible shortly after starting. T he>
are to be used on the Sunshine Special
between F. Worth and Shrevesport.
A large party of Local T. & P- of-
ficials were at the Union Terminal to
see the train pull out.

Miami, Ok., Dec. 31.—A contract
employing George W. Fields of Okla-
homa City and John F. McMurray of
McAlester to represent Oklahoma
heirs of the Texas Cherokee Indians
in a suit against the State of Texas,
in which lands valued at $50,000,000
are involved, has been ratified here
at a meeting of 300 heirs.
The contract was approved late
Wednesday after a sniiited debate in
which a group of “insurgents” op-
posoed the cause providing that the
attorneys shall receive 50 per cent of
the lands or money they are able to
recover.
The Cherokees allege they acquir-
ed title to large tracts in Cherokee,
Van Zandt, Smith and Gregg coun-
ties, Texas, in 1819, when they were
removed from Eastern States, but
that it was taken from them later. It
is this property they seek to re-
posses.
Fields has spent three years col-
lecting data for the suit, which will
be filed in Federal District Court at
Ft. Worth it was said.—Dallas News.

THE FARMER STANDS HIS GROUND
•Vs.
In the unceasing struggle between the individual and
the corporation for industrial supremacy the farmer is
-one of the few of the former class who are successfully
standing their ground. Organized enterprize, the cor-
poration, the modern economic giant, has swallowed up
many individual manufacturers and other producers,
but the farmer has demonstrated that he is more than
its equal.
The idea that the farmer is a slipshod business man
is a delusion, W. I. Myers, Professor of Farm Finance of
Cornell University, told a group of America’s leading
business men attending the annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
“The American Farmer,” he said, “is the most effi-
cient food producer that the world has ever known. The
decrease in the proportion of workers engaged in agri-
culture from 87 per cent in 1820 to 26 per cent in 1920 is
a concrete expression of this efficiency. In spite of this
decrease in tne proportion of workers engaged in agri-
culture, American farmers produce enough food and
clothing for the nation and a large surplus for export.”
This is one reason why the corporation which has
made individual enterprise a practical impossibility in
many industrial fields, has never been able to overcome
the farmer who is more efficient than the large-scale
ir.—T. & M. Magazine. v
