Did you ever stop to think

you, and how its value cad be
measured in dollars and
cents. If you have not, you
are throwing money away.
Advertising is a modern
business necessity, but must
be conducted on business
principles. If you are not
S' ‘isfied with your advertising
you should set aside a certain
amount of money to be spent
annually, and then carefully
note the effect it hat in in-
creasing your volume of busi-
ness; whether a io, ao or 30
per cent increase. If you
watch this g from year to

If you try this method we
believe you will not want to
let a single issue of this paper
go to press without something

shows that the average ad valorem

son that more than 3100,000,000 worth
of goods were Imported in 1910 under
the new law in excess of the total in
1909, under the Dingley law; that the
revenues in the last year exceeded
those of 1909 by about 330,000,000 and
the average ad valorem rate of duty
paid was only 41.19, as compared with
43.16 under the old law.

turning Rei ladder.
Austin, Tex.—Tie. tegular session
and the four cullcu uCealons of the
thirty-first legislature cost the state
of Texas $274,945. Tue regular ses-
sion of sixty days co*( a total of $122-
809, of whH h $92,8 It was mileage

sion cost $43,505, Of which $36,986

gent expense. The second called ses-
sion cost $15,819; $J6,807 was mile-

session cost $21,194; *17,0!5 was per
diem and $4,179 contingent expense.
The above tkgures were Ibis week
handed Governor Ca mpbell by the
state treasurer. Numerous conflicting
stories have been circulated as to the
cost of the thirty first legislature, the
special sessions, etc., and the statis-
tics were prepared to show exactly
what was spent.
The thirty first leg.slature was I11
session approximate!) 175 days and
its average expenditure on thia basis
was $1,571, a day fi r salaries, con-
tingent expense and the mileage in-
cluded.
It is to be noted that during the
regular session the contingent ex-
penses were higher than at any other
time. It is to be observed that the
contingent expenses of the last two
called sessions were very low.
The third called session was the
most expensive, but this is accounted
for in the fact that m.leage had to be
again allowed the members for that
session, running up expenses. Other-
wise it would have been less expen-
sive than either the first or second
which did not run tb» full time, was
the least expensive.

by the Frisco Railroad Company,
whose road was built over the graves
of his wife and children. The road
was built through the edge of the old

Chavez Draws $10,000.
Milan.—The aviation committee
which has supervision over the aerial
flight across the Alps has awarded
$10,000, half of the amount of tho
prize, to George Chavez, the Peruvian
aviator, who was injured after cover-
ing the most dangerous part of the
journey. The condition of Chavez Is
reported satisfactory.
Crossed tha Snow-Ca,.ped Peaks in a

Domodossiola. Italy. The great feat
of crossing the snow capped Alpine
barrier between Switzerland and Italy
in a heavier-lhan air machine w as
accomplished Friday by George Cha-
vez, the young Peruvian aviator.
The plucky hero of the exploit, how.
ever, lies now in a local hospital
badly injured ns the ’*sult of an acci-
dent that occurred Just as he had
completed the most arduous and
nerve racking portion of the task he
had set out to accomplish—a flight
from Hrig, Switzerland, across the
Alps to Milan, in Italy, in all a dis-
tance of about seventy-five miles.
Roth of his legs are broken, his left
thigh Is fractured and his body is bad.
ly contused.
The accident occurred as Chavez
was endeavoring to make a landing
hero. The Alps had been crossed suc-
cessfully, and the aviator was de
scending with the power of his ma-
chine cut off when, about thirty feet
above the ground, a sudden gust or
wind seemed to catch the mono-
plane, which turned over and fell.
When the crowds that had been
watching the descent ran up, they
found Chavez lying bleeding and un-
conscious beneath the twisted wire
cage. Willing hands lifted the avia-
tor from the ground and bore him to
the hospital.
Forty miles away, and over count-
try that has none of the hazards of
the Alps, lay Milan, the goal Chavez
was seeking In an endeavor to win a
prize of $20,000 offered by the Italian
Aviation Society. Chavez had lost
tho race.
Henry Weyman, the Amerlran avia-
tor, who made I wo unsuccessful at-
tempts In the llrlg-MIlan contest, sent
a telegram of Bympatny Io Chavez.
Rice Crop at Angleton.
Angleton, Tex.—The rice crop Is be-
ing harvested and the most of It lias at
ready been put In tho shock and the
rice men all claim Hint the yield will
ho extra good and the grain Is exceed-
ingly fine, which is very encouraging,
as they have made many failures In
the past, few years on account of tho
bayous becoming very sally.
Washington.—It Is unlikely that
there will be any shortage of money
this fall anywhere In the United
States. ThlH is not to be construed
as a promise to any particular indivi-
dual, but is the large, personal view
of the treasury department, whose
hand Is on the pulse of the nation’s
financial and business life and repre-
sents the opinion of officials who con-
stantly watch for symptoms of any
Btriugeucy. In their opinion the dan-
ger mark, If there actually has been
one during several months past, has
been left astern. They give these rea
sons for their prediction of plentiful
money:
Primarily tho banks saw whal look-
ed like a money shortage coming sev-
eral months ago. They knew they
could expect no help from the United
States treasury such as they got In
1908 and prepared themselves. They
have piled up gold, built up reserveH
and cut down risky loaus, and bonds
and other securities which might not
be easy to sell have been tur^d into
money. New loans have been closely
scrutinized.
By doing all that the banks have for-
tified themselves against an emer-
gency. How well they did It was seen
lust week, whon $10,000,000 was moved
out of New York to other hanks and
done very easily. Panics foreseen
never come financiers say. Money la
plentiful in England and 011 the conti-
nent of Europe. That Is always said
to be a good sigu In making a predic-
tion for this country.
Nearly every crop in this country
this year is reported to he a bumper
one.
Corn will set a new record. Four-
fifths of the crop has been gathered,
so the chance of loss from frost is
small. The oat crop is the grealeHt in
years.
The cotton crop will he 1,660.660
bales greater than It was last year.
Nearly all other crops are reported
very large.
Next month, it is estimated, inves-
tors all over the country will receive
nearly $170,000,000 In dividend checks
from industrial railroads amt other cor-
porations. That will add, of course, to
the money generally In circulation.
The record crops are one argument
against a money shortage because they
mean that the United States will have
a great amount of food and manufac-
turing materials to sell to Europe.
Europe In the meantime will he sell-
ing material to America, hut undoubt-
edly not to the extent It did las) year,
and therefore will owe Americans
money. This will be paid In gold
which will come across the ocean In
bars. The hanks will take 11 to the
United States mints or subtreasurles
and gold certificates will be issued Io
represent II. Thus several more mil-
lions of dollaVs will come Into circu-
lation for business.
Ellinger Pecan Crop Short.
Ellinger, Tex.—The pecan dealers of

I to be under the Impression that this

I any foundation, as there will not be

Houston Rice Market.
Houston, Tex.—The market condi-
tions I his week for clean rice are ma
terlally unehanged, exeept somewhat
better demand for second lu-ads and
screenings. According to Dr. 8. A.
Knapp, the 1969 crop of the United
Slates was about 868,967,660 pounds of
clean rice. The imports of rice of all
kinds into the United Slates were 183,-
490,914 pounds, or about 28 per rent
as much as was produced In the Unlt-
I rd SI ales.
Austin, Tex.—The following is a tab-
ulation of remarks noted on the gin-
nera' report a by counties for the month
of August received by Commissioner
None. Only about 20 per cent of the
g tuners made such notations, but they
give a fair indication of the condition
and prospects wf the cotton crop
throughout the state during August;
Baylor County—Owing to the ex-
treme dry weather the cotton crop will
be short; will take about ten acres to
make a bale.
Brown County—Owing to the con-
tinued drouth the crops will be cut
very short.
Howie Couuty—The cotton crop will
ruu about six acres to the bale; Just
about one-third of a crop.
Cass County—The cotton crop la es-
timated to be shorter this year than
was 1909.
Cherokee Couuty—Cotton crop very
short.
Coke County—Crops are very short;
won’t be more thau an average of one
bale to every seventy-five acres that
were planted.
Colemau County—In some places
crops are a complete failure; all crops
short owing to continued drouth.
Comanche Couuty—Cotton crop will
be very short and will soon be picked
out, as It Is opening fast.
Concho County—On account of the
dry weather the cotton crop will be cut
short.
Fisher County—Crops are very short,
will take forty acres to make one bale
of cotton, and no feed stuff only in
spots.
Grayson County—Cotton crop very
Bhort; cut short by the dry weather In
early part of season; when rain began
the hollworm set In.
Grimes County—Boll weevil began
its destructive work early; will make
uhout two thirds of a crop.
Guadalupe County—Cotton short and
uhout all picked out.
Haskell County—Crops very short;
will produce about half as much aa
did last year.
.Hill County—The crop will be light
this season; It has been dry and hot;
the plant hus shed badly.
Jones County—Hot winds and dry
weather have caused a very short crop.
Knox County—Cotton Is one-fourth
shorter than 1909.
Lynn County—Cotton crop extremely
light.
Maverick County- Practically no cot-
ion; dry weatherv great damage to ev-
erything.
Montgomery County—But little cot-
ton planted; will make something like
half a bale to the acre.
Morris County—Cotton very short
this year; not as good as last.
Nacogdoches County—Cotton season
very late.
Newton County—Cotton crop consid-
ered short for this year.
Palo Pinto County—The long drouth
has cut cotton very short.
Robertson County—Cotton crop la
short.
Runnels County—Many gins will not
run on account of scarcity of cotton.
Schleicher County—Crops will be
very short. The April planting will
make about a bale to every twenty
acres
Tarrant. County—Cotton crop very
short.
Taylor County—Owing to the ex-
treme hot weather cotton opened early
and will he very light.
Cars Met On a Curve, Screend By
Dense Wooda, One Empty—The
Other Filled With Passengers.
Bluffton, Ind.—Forty-two persona
wer* killed In an Interurban trolley
wreck between llluffton and Fort
Wayne about noon Thursday. What
caused the wreck no one seemed to
know. At least no one yet has offer-
ed a clear explanation. At 11:36, It
the train left on schedule, a regular
train consisting of one car left Bluff-
ton for Fort Wayne. At practically
the same hour a single motor car left
Fort Wayne for Bluffton empty to pick
up a load of passengers to bring back
to Fort Wayne for tbe county fair at
Fort Wayne.
Some one made a mistake. At Kings-
laud, eighteen miles south of Fort
Wayne, the cars met.
Those who were In the accident caa
tell little of what actually occurred.
Iu the extra car were no passengers.
In the regular local were probably fif-
ty-five or sixty passengers. Of tbes*
few escaped death or Injury.

One heroic act which will stand out
In the annals of the wreck Is that per-
formed by Conductor Spiller of the
northbound car. Though severely In-
jured, he staggered down the track and
flagged a limited train only a short
distance away.
Squirrels Damage Pecan Crop.
Hempstead, Tex.—Sportsmen are
having lots of fun now. Squirrel hunt-
ing Is fine, the Clarke bottom being
a favorable place on account of th*
numerous pecan trees which are scat-
tered over the entire tract, of
land. One party showed 27. another
18 and another 5 squirrels, all killed
the same day and within a short dis-
tance of each other. Squirrels are lit-
erally ruining the pecan crop. Th*
ground under Home of the fine trees
Is covered with pecans which hav#
been cut by squirrels.
Found Dead in Bed.
Ballinger, Tex.—H. Vandervanter,
one of the pioneer stockmen of the
county, and who owns a large ranch
six miles from Ballinger, was found
dead In his room at the Central Hotel
Tuesday. Dccasrfd lived at bis ranch
was en route home from a business
trip lu Fort Worth and was spending
(he night in town.
Corn for Mexico,
San Antonio. Tex.—Railroads report
an exceptionally heavy movement of
corn to Mexico, from twenty to thir-
ty curs passing through San Antonio
dally. The duty on corn, which has
been suspended by ttie* Mexican gov
ernment for several months, will he
put back on Oct. 1. This is causing
dealers and others In Mexico to lay In
as large a stock as possible.
Rice Is Moving.
Louise, Tex.—Rice Is moving more
freely this week than heretofore. More
than 6,000 sacks have been sold from
tno Louise warehouse this week.
Prices paid ranged from $3.10 per bar
