It appears that England is the last- of
the allied nations to promulgate a
blacklist, directed against neutral firms
which have been, doing business with
the allies’ f jes. England's blacklist has
received more attention and caused
more consternation merely because the
vast bulk of our foreign trade is done
either with England or England’s col-
onies. The United States cannot, with
very good grace, protest against the
British blacklist unless it protests with
equal vigor against the French, Rus-
sian, Italian. German and Austrian
blacklists. JapaH' alone, of all the bel-

Oscar T. Button went to Little Elm
Tuesday to the bedside of his brother.
John Button, who is very ill from the
effects of a b ite by a water moccasin
received while wining Monday after-
noon. He grabbed the snake with
bis hand and threw It on the bank, ex.
peeling to kill it there, but the snake
unexpectedly darted back into the w a-
ter and immediately after disappear-
ed below the surface of the water, Mr.
Button felt it strike him on top of the
foot. The leg was tied Uglitly above
the bite and Mr. Button taken to Lit-
tle Elm, and given medical attention,
but by the time the physician arrived
the blood had clogged in the foot from
slopping the circulation and blood-poi-
soning is now feared.
Report Wednesday morning from Lit-
tle Elm was that Mr. Button was still
very sick, but that the physician be-
lieved he would recover without per-
manent hurt unless complications de-
veloped.

“Stic is th* worst han<l 1 ever saw at

stenographer lady.
“What makes you say so?” said the

as far as I can find out, and we were
talking about the past six months."
“That’s nothing to what a man can
do when he tries," said Molly, withar-
Ingly, “but it’s bad enough. What I
want to know is why big sister doesn’t
think so."

NEW YORK, Atigust 9— More than 5,-
000,000 prisoners of war .double the num-
ber engaged
tory of tnej„_. ...
war prisons of the belligerent nations,
according to Dr. John R. Mott, Internat-
ional secretary of the Young Men’s
Christian association, on hie arrival here
today on the Oscar II from Copenhagen.
With approximately 1,750,000 prison-
ers of war, Germany has the greatest
number, but Russia is second with 1,-
500,000. Then comes Austria with 1,-
000,000 and then in order France, Italy,
Great Britain and Turkey.
Russia has gained many more prison-
ers recently, he said. 400,000 having been
taken since the beginning of the present
Russian drive. „ _ ___
“I found,” Dr. Mott said, “that re- of products or stock
ports as to the treatment of prisoners
of war were greatly exaggerated. In all
the countries the prisoners are receiv-
ing practically the same fare and cloth-
ing as are the men of the armies of
the respective countries. Everything
possible is being done for the comfort
and health of the prisoners.
“We have forty-five secretaries at
work in the various camps and expect
to have this number increased shortly.
Tire work in general of the army Y. M.
C. A. is looking after the thental, moral
and physical wrell-being of the priso-
ners. We have been accorded co-oper-
ation by all the nations at war except
Turkey, where we have not been per-
mitted to enter."
C. A. Davis, formerly of Washington,
is in charge of the Y. M. C. A> work on
the west front, Dr. Mott said, and A. C.
Hardy is in charge oh the east front.
Dr. Mott has returned to the United
States for a several weeks' vacation.

Ham-Ramsey revival tent Tuesday
night, when a number of men, act-
ing on the suggestion of Rev. Norris,
attempted to stop traffic on the street.
The street was closed during the reviv-
al until Mr. Jamieson became police
commissioner Tuesday and ordered the
street opened. A squad of police was
sent to the scene and forced the men
from the revival crowd to allow the
traffic to pass.

“That Margaret has been over here
twice since that time?"
“That’s more than she had

“Exactly. In other words she tried to
Justify herself w-hen you criticised her.
just as everybody does when they’re
criticised, but she took your criticism
to heart enough to try to do better."
“You really think so?"
‘•I’ve noticed it again and again about
her and other people, too."
"Do you think that’s better than ad-
mitting you are wrong and not trying
to improve?"
Why Shouldn’t People Admit Wrosp
and Try to Improve.
"Ym. but when people are wrong,.
w1iy shouldn't they admit it, too?"
“Because they are human beings in-
stead of angels, I guess," mu<! the Lady.
The Lady is pretty near right, Isn’t
she?
To defend one’s self when criticism
is just as instinctive as to shield one's
self when a blow Is aimed at one’s body.
The instinct of self-preservation and
the instinct of self-jusUficaUon are first
cousins.

field across the river from Petrolia is
said by experts to be a very promising
field, but it is improbable that any one
new field will be sufficient ever to fur-
nish adequate supply permanently for

the history of the gas fields of Indiana

While the people of Denton do ap-
preciate and are proud of our schools,
we believe that our state institutions
are not appreciated fully either for their
pecuniary benefits to Denton and Den-
ton county, or for the intelligent su-
periority which citizens of Denton coun-
ty hold over the average citizen of
Texas, for which our schools are re-
sponsible. The students attending the
two state schools in Dpnton the past
term spent approximately' one million
dollars in Denton. This was all new
money put into circulation in Denton
County, unlike our agriculturist who
spends 955.00 to produce 960.00 worth
2 man leavings
small net increase. We doubt, in fact
we ven- much disbelieve that any other
sources of our county produce as much
net clear money and put it into circu-
lation as our schools. In addition to
this approximate million dollars annual-
ly comes the appopriation for main-
tainance and Improvements and should
and will continue to come with such
regularity and in such proportions as
we are willing to make the effort for.
Either of our schools is without an
equal in the state. This supremacy may
easily be held, if we fcill make the ef-
fort. Denton will never have and few
cities in the southwest have as big a
factory, one that employes such a high
per cent of high priced labor as our
schools. Then aside from the- dollar
value, such a factory as odr schools
provide a class of labor of the very
highest rank of intellectuality, moral-
ity and desirable citizenship. These
great factories' are producing other
skilled workmen, a considerable per
cent of whom maintain their homes in
Denton but who go out over the state
and adjoining states to work. We re-
peat, -in our opinion, Denton county,
cannot possibly- secure any institutions
which w-ould be so far reaching and so
valuable as our state schools. The most
Denton has done for these Institutions
so far is to assist in their original es-
UH tablishment, and since then- has
the usual large amount of routine bus- avoided being a stumbling block, but

to stand selTdiy for our school inter-

unfortunately that all of our state
schools to a degree are in the first an-
alysis dominated by"political influences,
and it behooves citizens of Denton
county, whose greatest single asset is
two great institutions of learning, to
incline their political ideas toward is-
sues pertaining to state institutions of - -

g personal use. Bringing it closer home,
the Record-Chronicle's print paper bill,
with only a normal increase in circu-
lation, has increased more than 100 *P‘te thelr racial faces.-Galve»ton Tri-
per cent on account of the precipi-
tous advance in prices, and while we
have arranged in advance for almost a
full year’s supply, if prices next time
are proportionately increased, we con-
fess our inability to say what we shall
be forced to do in the way of re-
Imichment. As a starter, we have
discontinued all free papers—and we
hope we shall not ba embarrased in
putting this order into effect—we have
discontinued all dead-head .'subscrip-
tions except out-of-town advertisers;
and even with that our paper bill is
mounting every week. The government
is conducting an investigation into the
advances, for which the war, we think,
is not a reasonable explanation, but it
is apparently having no effect. Trav-
eling men decline absolutely now to
give any sort of quotation on news
paper, and every day’s market is a
separate entity with prices, when they
can be secured, subject to immediate
a mighty influence in transforming wet
counties into dry (vide Bell and Nue-
ces), and Dallas has been a pro county
for a good many years except that for the defeat of Oscar Callaway?—Wa- .
probably for business reasons it would
’ not like to vote dry until Tarrant does.
Dallas eounty gave a pro majority in :
the state-wide election in 1911, but there
has been a strong reversal in Tarrant
county, which overwhelmingly went
against prohibition in 1911 and which
has, up to this year, consistently voted
against submission. Both these two
big North Texas counties might rea- of James Whitcomb**Ril*ey’*that"he was

recent submission vote and other indi-
cations of the straw's direction.

The jury lists for hte August term of
District Court convening August 21 have
been In the hands of Sheriff Gallagher
and his office force for several days
for summoning for the term. As usual
regular panels were drawn or the first
seven weeks of the term. Thirty-two
jurors were drawn for each of the first
five weeks of the term and for the
sixlh and seventh weeks, the regular
time for disposing of - the Criminal
Pocket, forty-eight jurors have been
drawn.
TOe Civil Docket for the term is ex-
pected to be comparatively light 'this
year. The filings since the last term of
Court have been about on the average
with former vacation periods but the
cases filed have mostly been minor
suits that do not take the time for dis-,
posal that big suits do. The last day
of service for the term will be Thurs-
day of this week.
Following are the jurors, summoned
for the term:

Ttie young men drift away from
