Interest of the territory served by th.i
Santa Fe Railway company has this
to nuy of Scurry coutny:
Scurry County Make Progress.
The area of Scurry county is 576000
acres of which 150 000 acres were
under cultivation in 1!20. 'otton.
grain and feed crops produced heavi-
ly. Snyder Is the county sent one of
the iroitresslve towns in the state.
There are four high schools and thir-
ty rural school in the county.
The Kcho this week received a 1ft-
ter from a largo foreisn advertiser
n mail who hits urown iniliUMisely
wealthy through tin? " f printer's
ink (ellitiK f the wonderful cures
his remedy has brought about. Jle
paid the advertfsliii; hill In h- past
and taxed on nn extra $1.10 per doz-
en on his remedy to care for the ex-
pense. In Inviting him to ngain do
more weekly paper advertising ho
saya in part. "Wh- n the publishers
of the country papers of Texas find
out the war Is over and paper is down
and the cost of (loins business has
been greatly decreased; when they
get their rates back where they were
we will thon consider fioing back."
This shows what ideas exist In the
minds of some advertisers as to why
the country papers had to raise their
advertising rates it Is ut to the pub
lishers to show thH3 peoplp that
their advertising rates cannot be low-
ered in the average cas". If a man
covers his field with :t circulation
of 500. his space Is worth 20 ct'nt
an inch in that field as a minimum.
We believe that if the publishers put
the facts squarely up to tln adver-
tisers if they showed them wh're the
publishing of an x .p.ig-. six column
paper with fifty per cent advertising
brought only $96 weekly at a 20c
rate; If they showed them where it
cost the publisher not less than $60
to produce this paper and that ouly
$36 whs left for the publishers' sal-
ary dividends interest and up-keep
on n $5000 Investment the adver-
tiser as a whole would have a dlf-
ierer.i leeimn limine ueiui; un mill-

In discussing the cuuho of the f.i-
tra hot summer that is now being
felt all over the world Prof T. J.
See Government astronomer at Mare
Island announced a few davs ago that
his researches had led to the conclu-
sion that the distrubnnce Is due to
an unusual down pour of meteors up
on the sun. by which the radiation
and effective surface temperature of
the sun Is temporarily Increased.
"We have had hot summers be-
fore and they seem to come at inter-
vals of ten to eleven vars corres-
ponding to the sun spot cycle" said
Prof. See.
"In the year lOOfi-10 I was led to
Investigate the average amount of
meteoric matter falling Into the sun.

It proved to be larger than had been
generally supposed making a solid
layer about two meters deep all over
the surface of the sun in a century
when the matter is of the average
density of the eurth which Is 5.5 or
twice the density of the earth's crust
In h century this down pour accum-
ulates and exceeds the total iiiilss of
our moon.
The chief effect of this down pour
is a slight Increase of the sun's mass
and an acceleration of the secular
motion of the -earth In Its orbit. Rut
the change In the earth's motion does
not exceed one second of arc in n
century; yet this acceleration of the
sun's motion is actually indicated by
investigation of the eclipse observers
of the (Jreeks and Romans. Kx.

'o the good peopcl of Snyder and
Scurry county:
Hello there. Mow I would like to
be with you on the 2Uth nnd 30th
Inst and meet the old friends of long
ego. I moved to Scurry county forty-
one years ago today and lived there
about twenty years. I built the third
frame house in Scurry county and
helped to dig the first grave In the
old burying ground nnd also In the
present cemetery.
Oh! so many of my friends hare
passed away. While I was visiting In
Snyder five years ago. I had publish-
ed a list of over one hundred old
timers who hud died. I cull to mind
a number of pioneers who have gone
the way of all the world since. Among
them are Rro. W. W. Werner. Rro.
C. II. Kelly mil Jones. O. HlR-
gins. John Vaughn. T. I. McMillan.
Hide Frank Wllks. and the big-
hearted Pete Scoggins.
After chasing buffalo playing the
part of a cowboy and sharing the
hardships and pleasures ifter living
through years of drouth and years of
plenty nnd having realized the dan-
gers as well as the happy experience?
of frontier life I have watched with
much interest the splendid develop-
ment and progress of West Texas and
am glad to know that It Is now in a
prosperous condition.

Am :it Grady in Fisher county. Rro.
Hardy the P. F. of Sweetwater Is
doing the Kvangelizing here and it
ij being well don1. W are having
fine interest. Our third Quarterly
conferenie was held the 2"rd and
this is the 2."th. so we are just get-
ting up steam so to speak but pros-
pects look good. Rro. Grady Walton
of Dunn has sung for me In three
meeting. The first week in July we
were nt Turne-r. ten miles west of
Snyder. The second week we were at
Arab 13 miles west of Snyder and
the third week we were nt Camp
Springs. Rro. Finikin of Lubbock
district did the preaching and it wns
well done. Have had at least 7f con-
versions in the three meetings.
Rro. Grady Walton Is a power In
song and prayer. He also preached
one good sermon at Turner. His
Lrother. Allen Walton pt Snyder
prejeehed once at Turner and twice at
Arab. He is a brave ns a lion in
facing sin.
Rro. Hardy's sermon on Heaven
Sunday night was a fine exposition
(Mi that interesting subject and one
young man. and on5 young lady ex-
pressed a strong d"sire for freedom
from sin. so they mislit go to that
land of rest. We have a refined con-
gregation here. T think I can gay no
community has develop:! more rnp-
Mly than Arah ha- this year. And
the citizenship is hi hearted just
like West Texas.
We werp treated to a crnnt dinner
the Third Sundav and it was great.
Had enough for surper. A preacher .
would be an ingrnte who would not
appreciate working among such be-
nevolent people. We am to begin a
meeting at Dunn on Monday night
after the Fifth Sunday In this month
which will be the lt day of August.
We are cbsiring the en!vrsal coop-
eration of tho tott-e nr.d rsmmiinity.
The 'Methodist Pris'nr has done fine
work on Snyder mission with his sa-
cred sor.gs nnd strong prayers so we
are anxious to l i:el of God at
Dunn. God seems 'o near this year
in our revivals. He is ;!sht where He
can put his hallewd hand on us at
any moment. "He is doing grpat
things for us whro' we are glad."

Masonic Grand Chapter lu its Bum-

issued in the council and seven in the
chapter work. There were fortyclght
companions representing forty one
chapters und councils in attendance.
Mr. J. S. JIardy relieved Mr.
Week ley us editor of the News In a
most acceptable manner.
This brings to mind what changes
a short time brings forth. Two years
ago Mr. Weekley went to Snyder on
a similar mission and had the pleas-
ure of being entertained in the hos-
pitable home of Mr. end Mrs. Hardy.
Little did cither of ua dream that two
years later the one would relieve the

The announcement made by the
management of the Cozy Theatre
that on Wednesday it will present to
its patrons the famous young opera
singer. Marguerito Xamara in "Stol
en Moments" has caused iuite- a stir
ill local movie circles.
Miss Xamara. or Madanoe Xamara
as she- is known on the o ratic star
ranks among the finest of America
sopranos and is in the same class
with Geraldine Farrar.
Miss Xamara who in real life is
exquisitely beautiful loses none of
her charm iu being translated to the
sc reen. while her rare gifts as an act-
ress is given n far greater scope for
expression before the camera than it
had upon the operatic stage.
The success of "Stolen Moments"
I as been so great that Miss Xamara
is contemplating the desertion of the
opera for the motion picture studio
belie ving that she has found in pic-
i tures a greater field ot possiumus.

"For years we have used Black-Draught in our family
and I have never found any medicine that could take its
place" writes Mr. H. A. Stacy of Bradyville.Tenn. Mr. Sta-
cy who is a Rutherford County farmer recommends Black-
Draught as a medicine that should be kept in every house-
hold for use in the prompt treatment of many little ills to pre-
vent them from developing into serious troubles.

BLACK-DRAUGHT
"It touches the liver and does the work" Mr. Stacy
declared. "It Is one of the best medicines I ever saw for a
cold and headache. 1 don't know what we would do in our
family if it wasn't for Black-Draught. It has saved us many
dollars . . . I don't see how any family can hardly go with-
out It I know it is a reliable and splendid medicine to keep
in the house. I recommend Black-Draught highly and am
never without it"
