Regarding the report of blue bugs
ravaging the chickens in the vicinity,
Thomas A. McGalliard of fiar^a, one
of the lecturers for the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture, writes the Record-
Chronicle that the bug will go all over
the county unless it is checked, but
that the people can kill them out easily
by using the Texas Wonder spray, the
recipe for which will be; furnished free
by the entomologist, E. E. Scholl, of the
State Department of Agriculture, who
will also tell how the spray is to be
used. The spray, writes Mr. McGal-
liard, is cheap, consisting of whale oil
soak, red precipitate arid water.

to it.

A
merce of Salt Lake City to the Chamber
of Commerce here says they desire to
secure the extension of the expositions
being held in California for another
year on account of the large number
of people who have been prevented at-
tending by the European war and the
resultant financial conditions. They
state in their letter that they are tak-
ing the matter up with every state west
of the Mississippi in an attempt to
crystalize public sentiment and secure
the extension they are asking for in
taking the matter up with the manage-
ments of the expositions. The letter
requests the Denton Chamber of Com-
merce to bring the matter before as
many of the commercial bodies of the
state as they possibly can.

ter that there are large numbers of

The new canner at the College of In-
dustrial Arts has already canned 3,500
gallons of fruit, C. A. Tripp said Mon-
day, at a cost of 12 cents a gallon, and
the savings effected by the canning are
sufficient already, he believes, to pay
for the entire cost of the canner and its
operation this stimmer. The output so
far has been:
Plums 187 gallons
Tomatoes ... 148 gallons
Pears 750 gaildhs
Peaches 2,415 gallons
The pie peaches have been costing
from 35 to 37% cents a gallon. Put up
in the canner with the fruit from the
college orchard they cost now about
10c. The Elbertas, which have been
costing around 75c a gallon, cost now
about 12c, the saving exceeding the cost
of the plant.

COLLEGES WIL NOT BE
FAR SHORT OF 1,600
» ---------------
The total enrollment at the two State
colleges here this fall will fall little if
any short of 1,600, If the attendance in-
dicated by the correspondence is secur-
ed. The Normal, which last year had
a total of 636, is expected to reach the
total of the big year before that of
1913-14, which means around 783 and
possibly 800. The C. I. A., which last
year for the first time passed the 600-
mark at the regular session, is expect-
ed this year to reach 800.
Both colleges and especially the Nor-
mal are getting letters from students
desiring to find some kind of work to
aid in paying their way through school,
Dr. Bruce saying Tuesday that the let-
ters of this sort at the Normal being
much larger than ever before.WATER PROBLEM IS SOLVED
EXPERIMENT ASS’N.The executive Commitee of the Denton
County Experiment Association will
met Saturday to discuss plans for the
coming year’s work and will consider
means of making the work of the asso-
ciation not only more practical but of
wider usefulness to the members. Plans
and programs were discussed tentatively
at the session of the association Monday
but it was deemed best to defer the de-
tails to the executive commitee meeting.
The session Monday adopted a reso-
endorsing the invitation to Nathan
Adams of Dallas to come here to make
his address on the cotton situation with
special reference to warehouse matters,
and elected officers as follows: N. E.
Fairman, president; W. M. Tate, vice-
president; T. W. Buell, secretary-treas-
urer; executive committee, Will F. Parks

BLIGHT IN PLAGESSeveral Denton county farmers are
reporting a curious blight that has ap-
peared in patches in their cotton fields
since the rains of a week ago, the plants
presenting a withered and shriveled ap-
pearance, as if damaged by frost or
given a hot water bath. This condition
exists only in spots, however, and is
not uniform. The stalks are not killed
and the withered foliage is shedding,
being replaced by new growlh. Many
attempt to account for the scorched ap-
pearance by the fact that no rain had
(|llen in two months previous, the soil
was dry as an oven and the moisture
was converted by the heat into steam,
which, raising in clouds through the
foliage, produced injurious effects.
much interested in the fate of the
Florea family of Richmond, Miss Smith
having taught in the public schools
there last year. Miss Minnie Forfta,
newspaper accounts indicate, was the
one survivor of the family, but the re-
port was not very clear if all the family
was in the Velasco lighthouse or not
when the storm tore it away. Minnie,
who graduated at the Richmond High
school last spring, was carried sixty
miles through the storm, being finally
picked up on Galveston Island, but Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Florea, her parents, a
sister, who graduated at the G. I. A.
here two years ago, and her brother
were reported killed. Another (parried
sister, also a C. I. A. graduate, fives at
Richmond, and there were two boys.
Miss Smith said Monday, o ne small and
the other about fifteen years did.
Mrs. Peter Storrie Honored
by Old Friends in Dallas
Denton friends of Mrs. Peter Storrie
will be interested in the following ar-
ticle published in the Dallas News:
A number of the old-time Scotch citi-
zens of Dallas assembled yesterday af-
ternoon at the home of Mrs. D. H. Lind-
say to honor the silver wedding anni-
versary of Mrs. Peter Storrie of Denton,
who is visiting in the city.
Mrs. Storrie was for a number of
years a resident of Dallas and was one
of the founders of the Scottish Club,
Daughters of Clarendonia. In behalf of
her friends, James Kirkland presented
Mrs. Storrie with a chest of silver. In
making the presentation, Mr. Kirkland
referred to the pleasant times enjoy-
ed in the past by the Dallas Scots, and
of the occasions upon which Mrs.
Storrie sang for the Scotch gatherings.
Refreshments were served, and Mrs.
Storrie favored the guests with the old
song, “Scotland Yet.”

Fine Prairie Hay $10.00 per ton delivered any-
where in the city, bright as a silver dollar, not
a weed in it. Small quantities delivered at
40 cents per bale.With a reserve supply 6f 700,000 gal-
lons of water in the city reservoirs and
standpipe and one well sufficient to af-
ford an adequate supply of water at
all times of the day, Mayor Foreman
now believes he has secured a solution
of the city water problem for a num-
ber of years to come. The water has
been turned into the old municipal tank
since it was cleaned and there is now
nineteen feet of water in it, with seven
feet in the new reservoir, and the
standpipe standing about level both day
and night. The cleaning of the filter-
ing tanks was completed Monday after-
noon and the two reservoirs and the
filtering tank are now directly connect-
ed and the water* is kept standing on
a level with the ground the entire time.
The water that is now being used is
coming from the big well and the
smaller well is being given a rest until
it can be relined.
The poles for lifting the old casing
and the lowering of the new have al-
ready been placed and as soon as the
new casing can be got on the ground
it will be placed in the well. The well
has not been cased for twenty-three
years and Mayor Foreman said Tues-
day that he thought the placing of new
casing would further enable the remov-
al of sand from the water. Four-inch
casing will be used in place of the
six-inch now in the well, enabling a
saving in the amount of air used.
Since the new- reservoir was first
brought to a seven-foot level it has not
been necessary to use the big air com-
pressor except in case of fire to fur-
nish an adequate supply of water at all
times and keep the reserve supply up
to the requirements. This alone enables
a saving in the fuel bill of the city of
from 175 pounds to 200 pounds of coal
per hour for every hour the compress-
or is not used during the time that it
was required before the new reservoir
was put in operation. Because of a
lighter load for the engines and the
cooler weather with more rain than
during the earlier part of the summer
it has been impossible for the city em-
ployes to furnish an exact estimate of
the saving in fuel brought about by the
new reservoir. During the early part
of the summer it was necessary to
keep the air compressor running every
hour of the day that was possible,
which meant from fourteen to eighteen
hours of the twenty-four. Since the
new reservoir was connected with the
mains and filled for the first time there
has been a steady saving in the coal bill
for each of the fourteen to eighteen
hours.
In addition to the saving in the fuel
required for supplying the city with
water the improved condition of the
water coming from the mains has at-
tracted many favorable comments on
the clearness of the water. The milky
appearance that previously was due to
artesian sand in the water has disap-
peared as it is not now necessary to
pull the wells to their full capacity.
Formerly when the old tank had such
a quantity of collected sand in it and
before the new reservoir was built th?
only reserve supply • of water in the
system was about seven feet in the old
tank. At that time the pumps wduld
fill the tanks by 9 or 10 o’clock at night
and would then remain idle until morn-
ing when consumption became so heavy
that it required both wells running at
full capacity to supply the vity with
water. With a reserve supply of 700,-
000 gallons of water on hand now the
big well can be kept running at 500
gallons per minute and the reserve sup-
ply not be drawn on sufficiently during
the day but that ’the well can raise it
to the requi^d amount in a short time
after night when the consumption
lightens. // “HAMLET”

GARZA, Aug. 24—The first bale of
cotton this season was marketed here
yesterday afternoon by J. T. Thetford
of two miles south of this place. He
sold it in the seed to the Garza Gin
Co. for 3c per pound. The merchants
made up a premium of $4.65 which they
presented Mr. Thetford for bringing the
first bale to town.Public Weigher W. M. Brownlow dif-
fers with the figures given for the ar-
rival of the first bale of cotton and
says that in 1913 the first bale was
brought ip on August 21 instead of the
19th, making it the same date on which
the bale this year arrived. In 1914 he
says the first bale arrived on August
19th instead of the 28th. Mr. Brownlow
takes his figures from his book of pub-
lic weights and reports that while the
first bale did not arrive until August
21 in 1913 that seventy-two bales wefft
brought in during the month, as com-
pared with three bales in 1914, when
the first Hale arrived two days earlier.
His books show that by the last of
September the amount of cotton re-
ceived each of the two years was about
equal.
