The argument of Representative J
J. Mansfield of Columbus in support
of his proposed amendment to the
rivers and harbors bill, which would
provide for the appropriation of $3,-
500.000 to finance improvements at
Texas ports, is the stronger because
of the comparison he made between
the depths of water in Texas harbors
in harbors on the Atlantic and
“The Pacific coasts, and in Hawaii,
—and al o in his comparisons of the
volume of business done by Texas
ports with others referred to.
None of the Texas harbors has a
depth of more than thirty-two feet,
the congressman reminded his col-
leagues on the floor of the House
Thur day, while all the major ports
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
have from thirty-five to forty feet
depth, and every port in Hawaii has
thirty-five feet.
It was not the intention of the
Texans, who is chairman of the
House rivers and harbors commit-
tee, to begrudge any of the other
ports, either in continental United
States or in the possessions, the im-
provements they have acquired, and
in that attitude the people of Texas
join him.

, around 6 cents an ounce.
Before leaving Bowling Green he
| bought enough seed to sow one acre.
He turned these seed over to Mr.
J. R. Page at the Rice Hotel. Mr.
I Page turned the seeds over to Mr.
F. P. Vaughn who will sow them
on his farm.
The farmers here are invited to
watch these seed grow and Mr An-
derson hopes it will prove as profit-
able to this country as it has in
the northern and western states where
it grows on any kind of land.

Dr. B. L. Livengood, Harty Build-
ing. Bay City, has received notice
of the twenty-first annual conven-
tion of the American Osteopathis
Society of Ophthalmology and Oto-
laryngology to be held in New York
City July 16-18. This is on of sev-
eral societies affiliated with the
American Osteopathic association
which hold their meetings just be-
fore or at the same time as that of
the parent organization and in the
same city.
The American Osteopathic Society
of Ophthalmology and C ^laryngology
(eye, ear, nose and th at doctors)
includes not only ostec athic physi-
cians who are special zing in dis-
eases of those organs, i ut also many
general practitioners. The patients
of all these doctors are liable to eye,
ear, nose and throat disorders, of
course, and the doctors bring their
problems, and often their patients
to be examined in the clinics. Clin-
ics will run for three days.
A thorough diagnosis will be the
chief thing emphasized throughout the i
programs, and a thorough examina-
tion will be given each patient among |
the throngs who will visit the clin- j
| ies. These clinic patients will come 1
I mostly from New York and adjoin-

taxes to pay the amount appropriat-1 much greater distances,

The Legi la-
ture later passed an appropriation
bill of $25,000,000, but did not make
provision by passing tax laws to
raise the money to pay it with and
sent it to the Governor and he ap-
proved it ... thus stands the situa-
tion at this writing. The practical
effect of such maneuvering up to
date is those who expected govern-
mental assistance gets, in effect, an
empty gesture, and the Townsend
Old Age Pension Plan gets new re-
cruits.
In our opinion, things "have rock-
ed along” in the Old Age Pension
scheme until it is beyond the re-
trieving stage, and a reconvention of
the Legislature could not immediate-

Tax Collector R. A. Kleska and

The American Osteopathic Society
of Ophthamology and Otolaryngology
was organized in Kansas City in 1916,
and year by year it has grown larger
and more important, meeting each 1
time the week previous to the con-
vention of the American Osteopathis
association. The group continues its
sessions during the week of the par-
ent conclave as the eye, ear, nose and
throat section of the American Osteo-

IT IS THE IDEAL METHOD OF
APPLIED THRIFT
We think of an estate as a collection of pro-
perty that is left when a rich man dies. In
reality it is the carefully planned fund that
is to carry on when ever fate decides it is
time. a
