Paint and Wall Paper
SALE
The Greatest Price-Reducing Sale
in the History of Teague in the
Paint and Paper Line.
. Forced to reduce my stock to cash in order to meet my urgent obligations
1 must throw on the retail market over 4,000 rolls *of high grade Wall Paper
and a large stock of the very best grades of Paints—all at less than manu-
facturer’s'cost. You may not need paint or wall paper now, but you certainly
will in the near future, so, being a wise purchaser, you should take advan-
tage of this opportunity to purchase at such a saving that which you will have
to have shortly..
Paints and Wall Papers have advanced about 65 per cent in
the last live months, and are still advancing, with no end in sight,
as all that goes in the making of Paint or Paper is being consumed
in the war at enormous prices and the import supply is cut off
from this country.

Dallas, Texas, June 14.-rRain-
fall \yas well distributed and
plentful during May in that'-sec-t
tion of- the State lying north of a
line east and west through* Gal-
veston and San Antonio; below
this line there were local show-
ers only. The growth of all
crops, owing to freezes, drouth,
and irregular rains, is very un-
even, their condition being near-
est normal in the Red River and
othfer northern counties, where
the wheat and oat harvest is
beginning. A number ot_coun-
ties in southeast central Texas
which escaped material damage
from the April freeze^ have
favorable crop prospects.. In the
central counties, cotton and corn
are -rery-backward The condi-
tion of these crops in the state
as a whole is such that with Suf-
ficient general rainfall during
the next six weeks an average
yield will mature. .
A great peanut crop, aggregat-
ing nearly a quarter of a million
acres, is indicated in reports to
the Texas Industrial Congress.
The crop is largely in “patches”,
a conditidn favorable to its util-
ization jis feed.
Much interest te being shown
in tick eradication in connection
with the introduction into the
state of fine beef and dairy cat-
tle, at Witchita Falls, Abilene,
Houston, and several East Texas
points.

Everybody iovej
There is considerable activity
in the shops of the Valley Road
this week. All departments
have been increased from nine
to ten hours per day. More
men have been employed in the
machine and car shops and a
few in other departments. No
reason has been assigned by
local officials for the action, al-
though several engines have, ac-
cording to orders received here,
been headed south and kept hot
ready to go for several days.
Several oil tank cars have been
cleaned for use for drinking
water and some local prophets
say the developments indicate
that the small engines being
placed in readiness .may be used
on jthe border- in case of invasion
with Mexico, which is expected
by the general public at any
time. Local officials, however,
[have nothing to give out.
