2,000,000 CATTLE STARVINC
TO 0EATH IN TEXAS.
There are enough cattle starv-
ing to death in a strip of land
the size of Germany in Texas to
feed all the United States soldiers
in France for two years.
That is theway the livestock prob
lem in Texas was characterized
by Chalks McCarthy, special re-
presentative of Herbert Hoover,
who returned recently from an
investigation of the cattle condi-
tions in Texas. There are 2,000, -
000 head of cattle starving to
death in Texas, and our cattle
raisers are asking help from our
Government. What if these
same catiieuieu had planted one
hundred acres of peanuts to every
section of grass land in Texas,
the story would have read like
this: There are 2,000,000 head
of sleek fat cattle in Texas ready
for market, which will net the
Texas cattle raisers many millions
of dollars. Some may argue
that it has been too dry to raise
peanuts, or anything else where
these cattle are starving. Well,
let's see, is Mineral Wells, Dublin
Comanche, DeLeon, Cisco, Ris-
ing Star, Celburne, Brownwood
and Stephenville in the drought
belt? Yes. Well, they are mak-
ing from ten to twenty-five
bushels of peanuts, and from one-
half to a ton of hay to the acre,
and taking the minimum oi' this
yield, which is ten bushels of nuts,
and one thousand pounds of hay
per acre, and on a hundred acres
this would be thirty thousand
pounds of nuts and one hundred
tnouand pounds of hay. That
amount would have kept two
hundred head of cattle from
starving, and two hundred head
of cattle is about all a section of
grass land will carry.
The Texas Peanut Works is be-
ing organized to build one hund-
red warehouses scattered over
the State at different concentrat-
ing places where railroad facili
ties are ample for tde purpose of
lofcating seed nuts to the sur-
rounding country, in order to
make Texas a peanut growing
State, and a central located
factory to manufacture all the
by-products of the peanuts, and
one of these by-products well be
peanut meal and cake; also
ground peanut hay, and will be
kept in these one hundred ware-
houses for distribution for the
convenience of the' stockmen of
Texas.
We invite your closest inves-
tigation.

The good people of Palacios
are making every effort to give
the old-time editors of Texas a
hog-killing time in that town be-
ginning on December 3 and to
continue until the last one of
them is fagged out. To belong
it is necessary to prove that one
has been perched on an editorial
nail-keg for thirty years or more.
And the newspaper experience
these old timers could tell of
wculd be varied—some comical
and some sad—sad enough in
fact to bring tears to the eyes of
an Indian cigar stand. The
writer during his more than-40
years in the business has had
enough ups and d^wns in the
conduct of his business which if
told of in print would fill more
newspaper space than Pydia E.
Lynkum uses in placing her Veg-
etable Pills and Hair Restorer
before the reading public. And
he is only one uv a bull-pen full
uv 'em that are invited to eat and
be sassy at Palacios on Decem-
ber 3, the same day of the month
the writer was married several
years ago.—Schulenburg Stick-
ers.
Marvin Wickham came home
Saturday to visit with his mother,
Mrs. E. A. Wickham, for a few
days before going "somewhere
in France." Marvin expected to
be with the ambulance drivers
but was transferred to the hos-
pital corps as first aid. He is
stationed at Fort Clark and the
company has been pronounced
ready for the front b? the in-
spector. In a class of one hund-
red fifty, only ten of whom aver-
aged nintv or better in the ex-
aminations, Marvin's average
was ninty-two. Marvin is an
excellent boy in every sense of
the word and every man is his
well wisher.
Rev. White went to Angieton
Friday where he has the pasto-
rate of the Baptist Church.
