Kincaid, and several good talks were
shade on the subject, and it seemed that
while all were in favor of a concerted
movement along lines of eliminating
the blow-fly, yet there was no dis-
position on the part of anyone pre-
sent to offer a resolution asking the
state and National governments for
assistance toward the extermination
of this dreaded destroyer of livestock.
* This may have just been an over-
sight on the part of these gentlemen
yet it seems to us that this important
move should not have been overlook-
ed, but made one of the outstanding
subjects for action on the calendar
of business.
It seems to us that some effort
should be made by the representatives
from west and southwest Texas to get
a bill before the legislature, and make
argument for its passage, that will
cause the state of Texas to take hold
of this matter, and make appropria-
tion of $10,000, and match the Fed-
eral government, in an effort to com-
bat the blow-fly, and we would re-
spectfully call Representative Steven-
son’s attention to this important mat-
ter, trusting that he will get busy and
introduce a bill along this line.
It has been suggested by some that
in x>nder to gfet this assistance for a
county, the county desiring such as-
sistance should appropriate an amount
that would materially assist in the
work. Others advance the idea that
this should be handled through some
organization in a county desiring such
assistance, and by this method those
most interesting in the elimination of
the fly would be given the chance of
assisting in the proper handling of the
financial end of the matter, in that
sections seriously affected would be
given the relief prayed for.
In either case, the matter should be
given immediate consideration, and
our representatives, both national and
state, would assist materially in the
eradication of the fly if' they will
make an effort toward getting suitable
appropriations to combat this menace
to the livestock industry.
of $58.65. So large a growth in taxa-
tion in four years is something to
think about. And that increase is not
taking place at Washington. Feder-
al taxes are standing still or decreas-
ing. It is the state, city and school
district taxes that are going up .
“The estimate that 12 per cent of
the total income of the Nation now
goes for .taxes is only an estimate. It
may be off a little. But it is substan-
tially correct. In 1913, according to
an estimate on a similar basis, total
taxation amounted to 6.4 per cent of
the national income. These calculations
are on the authority of the Public
Service Magazine, February issue, in
which is published a summary of the
report of the tax division of the Nat-
ional Industrial Conference Board.”

“ The Mask of the Devil,”'John
Gilbert’s new starring picture, which
will be at the Owens & Smart Thea-
ter Monday and Tuesday nights, con-
tains in one of its opening scenes the
realization of the drama of every fe-
minine motion picture fan.
Incidentally, it also marks the great-
est thrill in the life of Eva von Berne,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s newest screen
find, who plays the leading feminine
role.
When Miss von Berne arived in
New York City from Vienna one of
the questions asked her was: “What
is the greatest thrill that Hollywood
could give you.”
“To play love scenes with John
Gilbert,” replied the little Viennese,
and thereupon gave an answer iden-
tical with that which several million
American girls would probabh' make.

you ear for a minute: What would
you think if our citizens would bank
their money in other cities; buy their
supplies in other cities; have their
bread baked in other cities; have their
candles made in other cities? In the

would have no need for a town it-
