The Hayes fire scared us up
enough to cause us to recharge
the chemical engine.
That splendid paper,. The
Rusk County News, is now a
welcome visitor to our office.
Thanks, Bro. Harris.
Saturday was a genuine fall
day in Deport. A large crowd
was in town and our merchants
report a splendid business.
Politics are going to be warm
in Texas in 1918. Joe Bailey
will oppose Morris Sheppard as
a candidate for the U. S. Senate.

A Light rrorther blew in Wed-
tional defense The Times be-
lieves a large part of this money
should be spent on constructing
national highways. The battle
In Europe is a war on wheels,
and many are crediting Ger-
many’s successes to her good

At gl Paso Monday Miss Mar-
garet Corn was married to Mr.
Stanley Cobb. This perhaps is
the first Corn Cobb wedding on
record and many paragraphers
will attempt to grow witty over
it. It is well, we believe, for
Corn and Cobb to be united, and
we shall wish for the new couple
well. May there be a full har
vest, with no nubbins and no
faulty grains. — Honey Grove

An East Texas preacher re-
cently moved out west for the
benefit of his wife’s health. The
other day she gave birth to trip-
lets. This will stop the tide of
immigration in that section until
some definite steps are taken to
reduce the cost of living. To be
well is a great thing, but gee-
whizz, think of having to buy
three baby rattlers and six shoes
all at the same time.—Temple
Mirror.
The State Department of Ag-
riculture reports that Lamar
County on a slightly reduced
acreage, will make a cotton crop
about 55 per cent of what it was
nesday morning. Many of our I year- About three-fourths
people are wishing for a freeze
that will kill flies and mosqui-
toes, and put a stop to so much
chills and fever.
We sympathize with our friend
Port of the Blossom Bee in the
loss of his plant. We under-
stand that he has ordered a new
plant, and will issue a paper
next week frbm the office of the
Detroit Hearld.
Deport never will be able to
combat fires very successfully
until a volunteer fire department
is organized and some light sub-
stantial ladders built and placed
on the chemical engine.
County Judge Beauchamp
and Commissioner Wharton were
in Deport Tuesday evening, feel-
ing the people’s pulse in regard
to good roads. Our people ap-
pear to be growing enthusiastic
about permanent highways.
There has been many millions
of dollars of public money spent
on 2x4 streams—not to make
them navigable, but to reduce
freight rates. Had this money
been used to construct national
highways, we would now have a
net work of good roads all over
this country.
Sheriff Martin of Clarksville,
and J. W. Phillips of Pari , were
on our streets Saturday.—Bo-
gata News.
Bro. Wharton why was the
sheriff escorting our friend
Phillips around? Wo have al-
ways thought of him as a peace-
able, law-abiding citizen.
Within the next few years the
Government proposes to spend
a large amount of money for na-
has been gathered. Nearly all
the corn of a fairly good yield
has been gathered. A great
part of a fine sorghum hay crop
is yet to be saved, with a recent
heavy rain interfering somewhat.
Sweet potatoes are fine, the
yield heavy, and price good.
The prevailing price of cotton
ranges from 12l/i to 13H cents;
corn fifty cents a bushel.
Odd Bits of News
Roxton, Texas.—At a birthday
party given by Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Watson in honor of their
son, Rufus, a fruit cake graced
the table which was cooked
twenty years ago by Mrs. C.
H. Shilling, of Paris, the
young man’s aiint. She gave it
to his father and told him not to
cut it until the boy was twenty-
one years of age. The flavor
was said to be fine.
San Francisco, Cal.—“My,
how cute!” was the expression
of a society girl who motored
down to see the “oldest tree,”
which celebrated its three thous-
and, one hundred and fiftieth
birthday recently. A family of
five could have picknicked under
the tree when the Greeks were
building their wooden horse un-
der the walls of Troy, and Pha-
roah was being engulfed in the
Red Sea.
San Francisco, Cal.—While
San Francisco acknowledges At-
lanta, Georgia’s, claim that its
women have the smallest and
prettiest feet in the world, it as
serts that the legs of San Fran
cisco girls are the shapliest.
Physical directors of the public
schools say the graceful carri-
age and shapely forms of the
San Francisco girls are due to
the hilly streets of the coast
city.

and Mr*. Will Hancock. They
had tried to keep the affair a se-
cret, but ii became well enough
known for their departure to
make a lively scene. Wheu they
started to board the train, rice,
old shoes and labels announced
to the passengers they had re-
cently married. Several of
their friends accompanied them
to Paris, irom which place they
went to San Angelo.
These young people are mem-
bers of two of the most promi
nent families in Red River Coun-
f ty, and The Times joins their
host of friends in wishing for
them happiness, long life and
prosperity. They are expected
home next week.
Noel Terrell has sold his res-
idence to E. K. Gunn for 16Mt
acres of lend North of Deport.
He has also traded 20 acres of
land near Hereford to Geo. Ward
for 140 acres of land two miles
south of Bogata. Mr. Terrell
expects to move to the Bogata
farm about the first of the year
and improve it.

spent Tuesday on Terry lake
fishing. About 100 pounds were
caught. They reported the wat-

grew tired and ached.
Some time ago C. W. Milam
placed a dollar bill in an envelope
and mailed it to the The Dallas
News for a year’s subscription
to the Semi-Weekly. The News
did not receive it. Mr. Milam
acted wisely this time by placing
his order with The Times. We
guarantee its delivery and can
get it for you, if you are a read-
er of The Times, for 75 cents.
Polk Warner of Clardy, lost
part of a bale of cotton by fire last
Thursday. It caught fire in the
gin and was not detected in the
press. After 'hauling it home
and retiring, he was aroused by
the smell of burning cotton. He
investigated and found the bale
had caught fire in the center and
burned to the outside. Hoops
were knocked from the bale, and
he had quite a job in extinguish-
ing the fire.
The service we are giving to
people having eye troubles and
badly impaired vision requiring
the use of glasses is best appre-
ciated by those we have made
glasses for. Our glasses are all
made according to the findings
brought out by the tests of the
eyes, and satisfactory results
are guaranteed in every case.
We give you the best service to
be had when fitting your eyes
with glasses. R. D. Sanders,

Karl Ladd of Milton, who was
in town Monday, reports that
the chain gang will move next
week to near the Martin school
house, where they will put the
road leading into Deport in good
shape. Through donation of
work and money, and the assis-
tance of the chain gang, the
road has been graded from the
Minter-Pattonville road about
three miles east. Commission-
er Wharton is quoted as saying
that he intends to put that road
in good shape before he leaves
it. A petition has been circu-
lated in Deport to secure money
to assist in the work.

On Efficiency of Warehouse Law.
The reason there was no more warehousing, and that
no better results came from warehousing th : 1914 cotton
crop, was due largely to the lack of a system that pro-
tected the farmers from the selfish greed of owners and
managers of warehouses, and which failed to give to
warehouse receipts that unquestionable verity so essen-
tial to commercial availability as security for loans.
At thla time there Is no lack of such a warehouse
system, for the permanent warehouse and marketing
law throws every safeguard around the Interest of the
farmers that Is essential to protect them from excessive
warehouse charges, from underclasslflcatlon and under-
weighing of hia cotton, and from all other classes of
common Injustice and wrong, and at the same time It Issues a warehouse
receipt that carries with it everywhere It goes absolute verity, a verity that
makes It -negot'able anywhere offered, for It carries on Its face the class and
weight of the cotton It represents and the evidence of ownership of the bale
of cotton for which It was given; a receipt without duplication and guaran-
teed as to weight and grade by a good and sufficient bond that protects any
Injured person and indemnifies him for any loan he may suffer by the care-
lessness or dishonesty of the warehouse Issuing It. Warehouse receipts Is-
sued by a warehouse organized under this warehouse and marketing law is on
a par with cashier's checks. There Is no risk taken In taking such leceipts.
Hence their primeness as commercial and bankable paper. Receipts Issued
by such warehouses need no underwriting by anyone. They are lntrli slcally
good wherever they go.
Warehouses organized under the permanent warehouse and marketing
act are subject to the strictest kind of State inspection, supervision and con-
trol. as much so as are 8tate banks. This precludes dishonest, careless. In-
competent and extravagant management. The board of managers has tne
power to regulate and fix warehouse charges, and this eliminates the ultra
selfish consideration that predominates where warehouses are established
and operated tor purely private ga'n. Of course, the board will allow all nec-
essary and reasonable compensation. But It cuts out, and It should cpt out,
those unnecessary Itsms of expense which defeat the purposes of this law
and which have made warehousing heretofore an expansive burden rather
than a helpful means of escape from a ruinous and Intolerable commercial
and agricultural condition.
With this power properly exercised by the State Board of Warehouse
and Marketing to reduce and regulate charges the other necessary element
of succeas in Inducing warehousing remains with the banks and bankers of
Texas.
It is a great opportunity. The permanent warehouse and marketing law
enables us to meet it. Let us do so, and in qolng so bring better prices to
the farmers and resultant and certain prosparlty to all other Interests In
Texas. V

Fire Creates Excitement.
About eight o’clock Wednes-
day morning the whistle of the
Westbrook gin drew our people
to that section of town, where
an oil stove in the home of Hom-
er Hayes had set fire to the wall
paper. A lad/ with a broom
beat the fire out before it did
much damage. Practically all
the furniture had been removed
from the house before the crowd
from town arrived.
