Denlson, Texas, Nor. 12—Nature
mailed its approval yesterday morning
on the unveiling of the cippus erected
by the Civic League in memory of the
heroes from Denison who gave their
lives in the world war. The unveiling
was a part of Iienlson's celebration of
Armistice Day and was its chief event.
As the shaft of marble with its list of
our boys was unbared to the eyes of
many hundreds who witnessed the
scene, a hush fell upon all. Head* un-
bared instinctively. Hearts were heavy
and tears fell from eyes of many. It
was little enough that Denisonlans
could do to memorialise their lives.
The ceremony followed immediately
after the parade and carg goiug di
rectly to Fairview cemetery at 10 a.
m. Arriving at the cemetery, liev. J. B.
Morris acted ns master of ceremonies.
Rev. C. W. Ilea rod, pastor of Waple#
Memorial Church, was introduced and
made the unveiling address. He re-
ferred feelingly to the great Sacrifice
made, by the boys and indicated that
unselfishness was not dead from the
earth. "This shaft is only a small be-
ginning of what we should do to me-
morialize their life. Our duty will not
end here, it only logins. They have'
spoken eloquently. These annual ob-
servances of Armistice Day should
keep alive the tfpirit of Americanism."
■eHowijpi the address, Burr Weaver,
acting tor the A#nerio|n legion, lifted
the covering und unbared the
shaft dedicated lovingly to the mem-
ory of Denison'* twenty-seven heroes.

tliat. it was <a holiday <1I<1 not prevent
the Denlsou' High School squad from
working at top speed in the Armistice
Day game with Van Aistyne, the lo-
cals whining 3X-B. The re<* rd crowd of
the season, some thousand persons,
packed the Forest Park field and
watched the Denison juKKcrnout ride
over the visitors, overwhelming and
completely outclassing them.

ing estimate of the condition of Texaa

bushel of email grains harvested this
year are as follows: Winter wheat 50.B
pounds per bushel, oats 30 pounds per

tatoes per acre is estimated to have
been 52 bushels. The quality Is 80
per cent where 100 per cent represents
u high medium grade. Unsatisfactory
spring weather conditions aud the

sponsible for the decreased production,
25 per cent of which is grown for

bushels, or an average yield of 105

els; an average of 32 bushels produc-
tion from 1,00*000 acres. The aver-
age yield of forage Is 2.4 tons per
acre. This is the large*' crop produc-
ed in Texas In year* ana exceeds even
that of into. Almost ideal •fcundltlons
have prevailed throughout the ^renter
part of the plains sections which grows
the major part of this crOp and the
quality Is excellent.
Sorghum Cane i-The average yield
of sirup from sorghum cane la 04 gal-
lons which gives a total production for
tin- state of 705,000 gallons from the
7^00 acres on which the crop is
grown.
Peanuts —The average yield for
peanuts is established at 27 bushels
IH>r aero which is approximately 87 per
cent of a normal yield aud indicates
a total production of 4,HON,000 "bush-
els for the State. Though generally
the stands have been poor the growth
has Iks'ii very satisfactory and the
quality of the nuts is estimated to t*
!>1 per cent where 100 per cent repros
Bents a high medium grade.
Other Crops —Apple production Is
estimated at fiO jht cent of a normal;
the quality at 63 per cent and the nuin-
lier of Itcaring trees. as compared to
the census of 1010 04 per cent.
