The high price of gasoline is to

As a last resort the kaiser might

We are willing for the farmer to
get a good price for everything he
raises but as an ultimate consumer

establish a direct line of communica-

charges too high for his services.

five years will be honored by the

lutions as a statesman a lawyer and

to San Antonio. The five years pre-
ceding his death had been a period .
of heroic struggle to regain his j
health.

judicial position above that of coun- \
ty judge some of his opinions were
accepted by lawyers throughout the

STATE SCHOOL IS
Win REICH
BELIEVED THAT WAXAHACHIK
OUGHT TO GET JUNIOR .1. &
M. INSTITUTION.
Belief Is Expressed Thu* Agricultur-
al School tn Agricultural Commun-
ity Would Bring Lasting Good.
With Joe Erwin as chairman at
the noon-day luncheon Tuesday the
Chamber of Commerce started
something in the way of lasting
good for Wsxahachle. It was an-
nounced by Judge J. Lea Gammon
that Arlington was about to fail
down on her privilege of procuring
a Junior A. i M. College and he
proposed that IVaxahachie take up
same and put it through. He pic-
tured the benefits to be derived
from an agricultural gollege in an
agricultural district and said the
town would not only bring lasting
benefit to Waxahachie and Ellis
|county by going in and landing the
proposed school but would estab-
lish an institution that would bene-
fit the whole sate.
After his talk various members
discussed the proposed undertaking
and finally decided to appoint a
committee to look thoroughly into
the matter and determine what if
anything could be done to procure
the school. The chairman named
D. D. Floyd. J. Lea Gammon and
Dr. W. C. Simpson on the committee
to have charge of this very impor
tanf matter.
The matter of completing the can-
vas* for the new year budget was
discu&esd at length and volunteers
were called to go out and make a
last appeal to those institutions
which have not as yet made contri-
bution to the Chamber of Commerce
work. No definite action was taken
although several volunteered to do
somo work during the afternoon.
The matter of taking the boys out
of school and putting them in the
fields to gid the farmers in planting
and cultivating their crops was in-
troduced in the way of a communica-
tion road by E. D. Parnell but it
was the opinion of the majority of
the members that the farmers were
not now in need of help and that i!
would be impractical to take the
boys out of school at this time on j
an uncertainty.
A communication from Clarence!
Ousiey regarding appropriations for |
the extension department of A. A
M. College called for a vote that th<
secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce to wire instructions to the
state senator and representatives
urging them to support a liberal ap-
propriation for extension and demon-
stration work.
V C>. McClain proposed that the
Chamber decide the matter of put-
ting a ball team in the field this
coming season and after several
talks decided that it would be im-
practical at this time to undertake
to finance a ball team and by vote of
the club the matter was finally dis-
posed of in refusal to make any ef-
fort to raise the needed funds.
Sam Carothers was named rhair-
mnn of the next meeting after which
adjournment was taken.

FARMERS BANKERS AND THE

TO CALL OF COUNTRY
Fowl Production Campaign In Be-

TOPEKA Kansas April 25.
Kansas—that block of tbe United
States which Easterners have de-
clared could not be aroused— :s an-
swering today Governor Capper's
“Call for Crops” with which to feel
the United States and her allies. \
A commission has been appointed
to help with the work and a thor
ough and vigorous campaign will be
made at once to cultivate every
waste place in the state.
The campuses of three big state
schools at Manhattan Emporia and
Lawrence will be turned into potato
fields. Tbe Kansas Agricultural col-
lege and Department of Agriculture
have "enlisted" in the work which
promises “more crops grown in Kan-
sas than any previous year.”
The banker who refuses to finance
the seeding and cultivating of Kan-
sas fields ‘‘as liberal as prudence
will allow” will be branded by the
governor as a “slacker” according to
a letter to the bankers of the state
urging their co-operation.
“The time is short and the need is
urgent” the appeal to the bankers
stated. "Encourage the utilization
of vacant land in town and country
and the farmers to increase their
j crop acreage as much as possible
without sacrificing the grass lands
[required for stock ”
In a message to the people of the
state Governor Capper declared. “It
is the biggest part Kansas can play-
war the state must not
fall down on the job. Kansas must
iurnish its proportion of men at the
front and there must not be a sin-
gle shirker in the state for the work
at home. The fellow who goes to
the front must not be the only one
10 fight for his country.”
