The bond sale followed pretty much
the pame procedure that the first issue
of bonds under the new charter tracked.
Judge Woods of Chicago, who turned

attorneys had approved the issue, in-
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The assertion
that Western farmers have underesti-
mated their crops in their reports to
the Federal government, thereby fore?
Ing up prices of whedL potatoes, on-
ions and cabbage, is tw latest contri-
bution to the high cost of food investi-
gation here.
The charge was made today by Joseph
Hardigan. commissioner of Weights and
Measures, after a tour of twenty-nine
states in an effort to determine the rea-
son for the high cost of living.
Hardigan says the farmers “knowing-
ly concealed at least 25 par cent of their
wheat crop” in furnishing their state-
ments to the government. He said he
was not charging the farmers with be-
ing “out and out dishonest,” but that
“their action is unpatriotic.**
“—Should such a transaction be or-
dered by the voters of the county, many
property owners in Beaumont and Port
Arthur would lose their tenants, and
the money that is spent • * * by
visitors and residents in both towns
would find its way to Galveston, Hous-
ton and other places. THE GENERAL
EFFECT UPON BUSINESS WOULD BE
BAD.”—Beaumont Enterprise.
-We give three guesses as to what
tms concerns:—It’s the same thing that
was scheduled to visit a fearful blight
upon the Dallas State Pair this year;
the same thing that was going to cause
the bats and owls to find roosting places
on the roofs of deserted business hous-
es in Denton; the same thing that was
going to bring wreck and ruin to Seat-
tle. Washingtonji the same thing that
was going to drive fhe summer visitor
away from the unsurpassed beauties
of Colorado'Springs; the same thing
that Fren’ Stayton of the Corpus Christi
Caller was so uncompromisingly but
mistakenly certain the intelligence and
superior reasoning of county voters
would not sanction. It’s the same thing
that brought- Kansas out of the mire
and shame of miserable hovels and hun-
gry families and unprogressive citizen-
ship into, a state whose prospqpity Is
second to none in the United States.
And it might be added that it is the
same thing which, in different forms,
was put into effect in every nation in
Europe immediately after that nation’s
entry into the terrible struggle.

LONDON. Nov. 18.—Thirty thousand
Belgians already have been deported to
Germany, according to official Informa-
tion. and reports from tbe same sources
say the Germans plan to take 300,000
Belgians. Tournal was fined 200.000
marks for refusal to furnish a list of
male inhabitants and a further daily fin®
of 20,000 marks as long as it refused.
Lord Robert Cecil has made a vigor-
ous p’rotest arfunst the deportation of
Belgians and hoped that “American pub-
lic opinion wil show itself in steady
pressure upon the invaders of Belgium
to conduct the war against the soldiers
of the allies and not against the help-
less civilians whom they have in their
power.”
THE HAGUE, Nov. 18.—With 30.000 to
40,000 Belgians already deported they
are being sent to Germany now at the
rate of 2.000 daily. Antwerp has been
commanded to furnish 27,000 more, but
Lessines with a population of 7,000 has
already tost 2,000, representing practi-
cally every able-bodied male except of-
ficials. The men are strongly determin-
ed to refuse to work for their capton,
believing they will be employed to re-
lieve Germans who are to be used at
the front. The principal object of the
deportation seems to be to secure skill-
ed worken. , /
Of some interest in Denton is that
Ardmore, Ok., in an effort to secure the
meridian highway, has offered to biNld
a paved road from there to Red river if
Gainesville will agree to build to meet
it’on the Texas side. A toll bridge is
proposed ^s a part of the system knd
one-third of' the money necessary has
been raised at Ardmore already.
One of the meridian roads will come
south thru Oklahoma and North Texas,
and It is believed here that if the Ard-
more-Gainesville road Is built, Denton
might be able to secure its extension in
Ihis direction as an integral part of the

“The Forney Messenger came out last
week in an enlarged form. The Messen-
ger appears to thrive on opposition."—
Mesquite Mesquiter.
Everything worth while thrives on
oppositron. Opposition is one of the
chief ingredients in the formula of suc-
cess; the testing acid which eats out
unworthines^ and gives the world-a
clean-cut man—if the man was there
io begin on. If the quality of unworth-
iness filled the whole space originally
designed for strength and breadth and
honesty and the number of other things
which are contributing factors to Suc-
cess, the acid would eat its way unhin-
dered, and bye and bye only empty
space would reign where the forses of
Manhood should have been arrayed in
battle. We all possess a blighting de-
gree of indifference—a degree, that is,
w'hich would blight were, it not for the
other factors which spur us to armed
resistance. If there were no other fac-
tors. then, it follows that the indiffer-
ence would multiply and spread, and we
would become intellectually lazy and
phrsically incapable. And Opposition
—in its million different forms, is the
Prime Factor, as capable of being em-
ployed to break up any combination of
unresisting upworthinesses as it is of
performing tthe service of a Key to the
armory where the worthier weapons are
stored. ,

Two high school football game* of
interest in the race for the North Texas
championship were played Friday af-
ternoon and Sherman and Oreenvfli*
both showed up strong. Sherman de-
feated Central Fort Worth High on the
Sherman grounds by a csore of 41 to 0.
This game bears special interest in con-
nection with the Denton High chance*
for leading in. the race. Denton played
Central Fort Worth their third game
of the season and won 20 to 0, but at
that time Roberts, the Fort Worth
mainstay In the backfield, was In tbe
game and since thonhas been forced
out with a broken shoulder.

the Greenville field and won 84 to 7,
thus holding their place in the cham-
’plonship contest. Marshall has been
playing fast ball thia season, and altho
none of the games have been played

• General Funston is threatening to
sue Virginia Baptiste for libel because
of resolutions adopted by the Virginia
Baptist association. General Funston
put himself in an attitude to be criti-
cised when he acted as he did toward-
Dr. Gambrell, and in any contest or
controversy with the evangelical de-
nominations, all of which are turning
their guns on the General’s position, it
” won't be difficult to foresee who will
get th® worst of it.

Winston Spencer Churchill is one of
the most foresighted of British states-
men. While his lustre was somewhat
dimmed in the Gallipoli campaign and
*hls controversy with Lord Fisher of the
Admiralty, Great Britain will never for-
get the fact that it was Churchill, as
Naval Secretary, who had the British
fleet in fighting (rim and under guise
of a review, In home waters when (he
war broke. His prediction, therefore.
Is entitled to more credence than would
•be given to the ordinary man when
he says that before the war ends the
government not only will take over all
British shipping, but will order uni-
versal service, both for the army and
for the genera^ purposes of war. Brit-
ish conscription laws now afford few
exemptions and men of middle age are
being called on “to do their bit”, in
the munitions factories if too old to
go to the front. But universal service
Would mean an extension of the sup-
pression of all individual rights for the
good of the state that the world has
■ e not hitherto seen. Britain is deter-
mined to win.the war, if it requires Hie
£ last effort of every British citizen, and
the British temper has not been so
plainly indicated, we think, as by proof
that it can consider calmly the subor-
dination of every individual right at
the behest of the state.

lt> a district in which the vote in last
Wednesday's election showed seventy-
more than the required |wo-thirds
vole, the road bond issue will be tried
over again. With a lower tax rate than
was necessary in the country-wide pro-
poeal and with a mileage much more
comprehensive in the new district than
wm possible in the old. it stands to
reason that poetically all who voted
for the other will, vote for the new, and
