dence is unknown is Defendant

alleged as follows: Plaintiff al-
leges that on Feb. 3rd, 1890, A.

conveyed to said J. R. Woolsey
the N W l-4th of the N. E. l-4th
of section No. 94 block D, H. &
T. C. Ry. Co. lands in Stonewall
countv, Texas, Certificate No.
30-2529, containing 40 acres, and
that as part of the consideration
therefor the said Defendant
Woolsey executed 3 purchase
monev notes, payable to said A.
L. Rhomberg for $40 each, on
Feb. 3rd, 1891, 1892 and 1893,
with interest thereon from date
until paid at the rate of 10 per
cent per annum, said deed re-
corded in Vol. A, page 302 Stone-
wall county, Texas deed records.
That the defendant J. R. Wool-
sey soon after the execution of
said notes, left the County of
Stonewall, and his whereabouts
is unknown to this plaintiff, and
is also unknown to the holder of
said notes, A. L. Rhomberg.
That the said notes have not
been paid either in whole or in
part, and are long past due, both
principal and interest. That on
Feb. 3rd, 1897 A. L. Rhomberg
rescinded the contract between
himself and said defendant, and
re-entered the premises and took

all taxes assessed against said
premises. And that on March

ber 1911.

The Foreign Dollar.
The foreign dollar is the biggest
dollar on the financial horizon. It is
the meet powerful factor in the
world's progress and it moves the
star of civilization at will. It fol-
lows the line of least resistance and
prosperity waits in attendance upon
it. It is the most voluminous and
congenial of our currency. The
foreign dollar is a cautious, leisure-
ly investor, loves good company, is
seldom found alone and is quickly
woven into the industrial fibre of
the State. It soon learns to speak
our language, play our games and
drink our drinks, and when its pres-
ence is no longer desired, it quickly
departs. Only gigantic enterprises
appeal to it and wherever it goes, it
builds empires. It is the develop-
ment dollar.
The essential element to our pro-
gress is the volume of money avail-
able for investment. To develop our
agricultural, industrial and mineral
resources will require an investment
of ten billion dollars. Our produc-
tion will not exceed consumption
more than fifty million dollars per
annum, which is hardly sufficient to
run our errands and to no percep-
tible extent can it take part in the
development of the State's resources.
This is a work that must be done by
the foreign dollar. We do not in-
crease our wealth when we borrow
from each other but when we nego-
tiate a loan on the outside of the
State, we bring money into Texas,
or when foreign capital moves to
Texas, we have increased our wealth.
It is the foreign dollar that must de-
velop Texas.
Production and Consumption.
The Federal Census reports en*
afoles us to estimate with reasonable
accuracy our annual production
which approximates as follows:
Agriculture $561,231,000
Manufacturing 150,000,000
Mining 20,000,000
Total $731,2él,000
The item of consumption is far
more difficult to estimate, although
reliable data on the cost of living per
capita is of record. The following
table represents property consumed
and destroyed by the natural and ar-
tificial processes of civilization.
Three classifications are used, The
People" which includes cost of living
and burial expenses, "The Animals"
which includes the keep of live stock
and loss by natural and accidental
deaths, "The Property" which in-
abldes destruction by fire, decay,
wear, etc., as well as destruction of
seed by processes of germination.
The table follows:
$330,000,000
.... 200,000,000
120,000,000
The People .
The An imals
l%e Property
Total .$650,000,000
By deducting consumption from
production, we have $81,131,000 per
annum left, which is equal to 11 per
cent of gross production and is ap-
proximately correct. This volume
of money is entirely too ssiall to
make much headway in development.
We need Ten Billion dollars to open
up new farms, build cities, construct
railroads and public highways and
we must get money from ontside the
\state for our large development en-
terprises.
Good Roads.
The farmers everywhere em gfer-
ing their earnest support to the
good roads movement for they real-
ise that good roads will cheapen
transportation, promote social inter-
course and moke farm life move at-
tractive.
