Tax Collections for
Jan. Above $50,090
1 ax Assessor-Collector H. C White
reports tax collections for January
ran above $50,000, but had not fig-
ured the amount yet uncollected.
The amount collected prior to
January, together with the January
collections probably will run to ap-
proximateiy the same as last year,
which was reported at $88,000 col-
jected up to Feb. 1st., with something
nke 20 percent uncollected.
Tax collections for the city are
said to be coming in pretty good, but
<:f course we have a little more time
to pay city taxes.
RED CROSS kEWS
'business houses, were robbed Sat-
urday night. There are no leads as to
who the guilty parties are, although
hey are believed to be professionals.
The Crystal Drug Company build-
ing, was entered through a rear win-
dow after the lock had been punfaed
off by entering some thin instrument
between the window sashes. The
robbers then knocked the knob off
the safe door and punched out the
combination. They found in the safe
approximately $450 in money and
checks but left the checks, taking
around $350 cash. They also took
from the safe considerable personal
jewelry belonging to Mrs. T. H.
Thomason and her daughter. An un-
determined amount of merchandise
was taken, including cosmetics and
cigarettes. The safe and contents
were insured for enough to partially
cover the loss.
The Wallis Lqmber Company was
entered through a rear door by cut-
ting a hole in one of the door panels
large enough to get a hand through
to turn the key in the lock. The rob-
bers got very little money from this
store and it is believed they took
only a small amount of ammunition
but they almost completely ruined
two safes by blowing the door off
one and breaking the knob and com-
bination of another. The loss is said
to be approximately $500.
The robbers used gloves in all op-
erations and finger print experts
who came out from Austin Monday
were not able to find a single finger
print clue.
The sheriffs department has some
suspicions but nothing very definite
so far.

Planting time is near, and with it
comes the question of seed and early
crops. Protect your seed and insure
your stands by treating it before
planting.
Seed is treated with Chemicals be-
fore it is planted to kill disease
spores that may be carried on the
seed, and to protect from decay
caused by organisms naturally pres-
ent in soils. The benefits come from
the control of seed borne diseases
and the better stands of plants re-
sulting from the higher germination
of treated seed. These benefits are
particularly noticeable when seed is
planted in cool soils, and must lay
exposed to adverse temperatures a
long time before germination takes
place.
Every care should be exercised in
treating seed to prevent damage to
stock from eating treated grain for
the chemicals used are poisonous.
Place the prescribed amount of the
chemicals in a tight container with
the seed and rotate until the seed
and chemical are thoroughly mixed.
The object in seed treatment is to
cover the seed with a thin coating of
the chemical.
