THE RASTROP ADVERTISER. RASTROP, TEXAS
N
$30,000,000 IS READY TO
FINANCE COTTON CROP
WOOLLEY, MONEY-MAKER
]
Heine a Kentuckian, born in the
blue grass. ami later a resident of Vir-
ginia. more money-making never In-
terested Robert Wlekllffe Woolley
overmuch. Hut now, iu his mature
lite he ha become one of the fore-
most money-makers of the world.
Ho is director of the mint of the
United Stales, In charge of making
the rnetal money of the country, and.
also, the metal money of vurlous oth-
er countries. So, while he counts his
makings in terms of millions, they are
not for him. He is no money grubber.
Literature and horses really are
the things to which he always has
been most devoted, and they are dl-
roctly responsible for his becoming
a money-maker of first Importance
in Ihe world. Here Is the chain of
connecting circumstances that brought
him to his present occupation: lie
so loved horses that ho could not re-
frain from writing about them; so
well did ho write about them the.t
writing became a profession; from writing about horses ho turned to writing
about other things, politics for choice, he being, as stated In the foregoing,
a Kentuckian; and writing about politics led him to writing und studying
about economics; and hence the step to that branch of economics which con-
cerns money.
TAMER OF STRIKERS
:i
Eugene P. Klnkead, sheriff of
Hudson county, New Jersey, has
loomed large In the public esteem re-
cently. He Is the man who showed
Hayonne how ho could tamo strikers
until they clamored to eat out .of his
hand, and could then send them back
to their Jobs with assurances of high-
er pay and belter hours.
Seldom in time of peace has an
American community faced a more
menacing situation than that In Bay-
onne. Still more seldom has a situa-
tion so fraught with peril been so suc-
cessfully met by tho courage, skill
and diplomacy of a civic peace officer.
without the aid of stato troops That
is why Eugene F. Klnkead Is the
man of the hour in New Jersey and
why many of his admirers are boom-
ing him for the n«*t governor.
Klnkead has been a man by no
means unknown even before he pulled
the teeth of the most dangerous strike
of the year. During six years of an
active career as a member of congress his light was not always hidden under
n bushel nor were his talents perpetually burled 'neath the column rules of
the Congressional Record. Ho 1b now in the advertising business and makes
his homo in Jersey City. He was born in Ireland in 1876 and came to Amer-
ica when four years old.
"Cene'' has always been nn ardent lover of baseball. While In congress
he was the captain of the Democratic congressional team. The Republican
nine was captained by ' Jack" Tener, afterward governor of Pennsylvania
and head of tho National league. Mr Klnkead was a good pitcher, but he
could play any position on the diamond reasonably well, and when tho rival
political teams played for charity and the society of the capital turned out
to witness the sc •nmages between the national lawmakers "Gene" Klnkead
could be depended upon not only to do his work in tho game, but to afford
also a lot of amusement with his good matured badinage and his dramatic
performances.

Secretary McAdoo Announced Order
Affecting Reserve Institution* to
Meet Contraband Situation.
Washin."ton, — Treasury officials
Tuesday made public an announce-
ment *y Secretary McAdoo that in
vie* ol the action of the allies In put-
ting cotton on the contraband Hat he
would, If it became necessary, deposit
$30,000,000 or more in gold In the fed-
eral reserve banks at Atlanta, Dallas
und Richmond for the purpose of en-
abling; the reserve banks to rediscount
loans on cotton seemed by warehouse
receipts made by national banks and
statu banks bclJhging to the fedefai
reserve system.
The gold would Be deposited, tem-
porarily at least, without interest
:-hnrgc. It was explained that If It
Appeared that the object would be ac-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
lirectly with national bunks agreeing
to 'end the money on cotton at a rats
not to exceed ti per cent.
Secretary McAdoo authorized thf
innounccmeiu at tho close of a day ol
speculation In official circles as tc
the nature of sttr>s which the entente
powers have indicated they will tak*
to uphold the cotton market in the
face of their contraband order.

"Herbert 0. Hoover is the Ameri-
can who. of ail the Americans, has
played the most Important part in tho
great tragedy being enacted in Eu-
rope." said a cabinet member recent-
ly, and yet comparatively few persons
know who Herbert C. Hoover Is.
To put Is briefly, Hoover is the
man who, at the head of the Helgian
relief work, has directed the ex-
penditure of $50,000,000 in recent
montliB. Among the few men who
really run things in the civilized na-
tions—and a few of the uncivilized —
he is regarded as America's foremost
citizen of tho world. Princes and po-
tentates— financial and political —
knoto him on terms of intimacy.

What memories this reference to the
five-cent ginger cahe of commerce will
< arouse in the minds of men upproach-
i iug or past middle ure who passed
j their boyhood in Ihe country!
At all public gatherings where con-
I cessions were given for the serving of
refreshments it was the chief feature
in the order of the day down to u
period of much Inter than half a cen-
tury ago. And then It seems to have
disappeared, suddenly and mysterious
i ly. after the manner of the disappear-
! anee of the bootjack and the passen-
ger pigeon, and like them probably
never to return.
Who among us whose hair has grown
thin Stop or disappeared altogether
cannot recall the bill of fare of the
refreshment venders In those earlier
and simpler days at fairs, town meet-
ings and Fourth of July celebrations'
The assortment was not elaborate, I tit
it was filling and satisfying, and one
got a good ileal for his money, says
the Biddeford (Me.) Daily Journal.
Most conspicuously displayed were
those ginger cakes, everywhere lo-
cally known ns "baker's gingerbread."
to distinguish it from homemade gin-
gerbread, which lacked the delicate
color, the spicy fragrance, the work
manlike finish and pleasing regularity
of the imported article. Then there
were coffee served in bi>> mugs; crack-
ers and cheese, baked beans and
brown bread, not infrequently home-
made doughnuts, and always raw oy-
sters.
The gingerbread and the oysters
were the things that took with the
crowd; for only on such occasions
were these viands readily attainable.
What country boy has not watched
some older person order a saucer of
raw oysters, cover them with vinegar
and cayenne pepper and then absorb
them as to the manner born, with-
out admiring ihe grace and nonchal-
ance with which the trick was done
and wlshli\; for the time to come
when he might venture to give such
nil exhibition?
His consolation lav in a "sheet" of
that famous baker's gingerbread, and
if he was particularly well fixed finan-
cially. a piece of cheese to go with
it. Those were. Indeed, happy days,
when a piece oi gingerbread and n
hunk of cheese at a total expense of
six cents, would fill an ifhing void
which In these degenerate davs Is
hardly satisfied with a si -course din-
ner
It may be assumed that the men
who mado that famous gingerbread
are not all dead. Ileri- and ihere-
throughout the country there must be
several survivors who retired for well-
earned rest after long service in tho
best interests of hungry humanity.
This being tho case, 't Is barely pos-
sible that the recipe for those ginger
cakes is not irretrievably lost.

WOMAN AEROPLANE BUILDER
Mrs. Maurice Hewlett, wife of the
famous noveiist. has a large aero-
plane factory working day and night
ou the production of military air-
craft She Is the only woman in
Britain, and probably the sol* repre
sentative of tho fair sex the world
over, who occupies Ihe unusual role
of aeroplane builder. Few outside
those connected with aviation know
of the valuable work this lady has of
recent years carried out for the ad-
vancement of British aeronautics.
During the last three years she has
quietly studied aeroplane constru-
tion, aud has spent a small fortune
on equipment for her factory, so con-
fident was she In the aeroplane as a
military machine.
She was the first woman to take
a flying certificate in Britain, and she
learned the art of piloting in lie early
days of aviation when goin •iloft In
an aeroplane was about as hazardous
a task as one could hope to find.
In the aviatiou world Mrs. Hewlett enjoys unbounded popularity She li
regarded as a mascot where flying is concerned, for although she has made
scores of aeroplaue flights, both as a ya&ecugcr and pilot, she has never mot
