Belton, Aug. 1.—A plan for a big-
far, better Helton wan endorsed and
adopted by the Young Men'* Cham-
ber of Commerce at the meeting held
«t the city hall last night This plan,
which was originally suggested by T.
E. Sanderford, the Belton represen-
tative of the Telezram, provides a
ifrsat amount of publicity for the city
and Its business Interests and will do
much toward the development of
Belton and its surrounding territory,
If properly supported by the mer-
chants.
, Several days ago the proposition
was laid before the executive commit-
tee of the Young Men's Chamber of
Commerce and It was thought of so
favorably by them that they retjue.it-
•d that the matter be^ brought up be-
fore the body at their regular meet-
ing last night. E. L. Cohen and L. P.
McKay, also of the Telegram staff,
met with the Chamber of Comment
last night at the invitation of the ex-
ecutive committee. The proposed
plan was laid before the body, which
In brief was this:
i The Telegram proposes to publish
4 four page Belton seotion of the
Telegram once each week until the
1st of January, 1#20, provided the
business men give sufficient support
to Justify the edition. This edition
Will include an editorial page, which
will bie devoted exclusively to Bel-
ton, Helton's business interests <»nd
the various advantages this city offer*
over other places. In fact the en
tire section will be strictly a boost for
Belton and Bclton's business houres
one each week and will bring to ligit
the many and varied advantages and
Opportunities that arS found here.
■ The; plan submitted by the Tele-
rram Is considered very liberal In that
they only asked for a light guarantee.
/ All the editorial and reportor'.al work
will be gotten up by the Telegram
staff without charge. The Te'egram'a
business in Belton heretofore has
amounted to more than half of the
amount of the guarantee asked by the
paper and with the great increase ofc
business this fall it Is likely that
the regular advertising would reach,
the amount asked by them In the
propose^ plan, regardless of whether
or not Belton had this section. It
was explained that the plan was not
Intend to hurt the other papers and
would not in any way interfere with
their prosperity, but would really
help them by creating more Interest
in advertising, thus causing them to
get more business.
A number of the merchants were
present who spoke In favor of
proposed plan, all commending It
very highly and saying that it would
be a good thing for the city as well
as for themselves. None of the mer-
chants spoke against It. ' -
The question was. put before the
house and It was unanimously adopt-
ed. A committee consisting of Mayor
Neal Bassel, Gene U pah aw and J. R.
Donnell was appointed to call on all
the business men of the city and se-
cure the amount of advertising re-
quested.
The bountiful crops and the great
Interest now being manifested in oil
development around Belton and in
Bell oounty, Belton's natural beau'y,
its natatorlum, Its wonderful water
supply, its yarn mills, its excellent
schools, and Its many other advan-
tages too numerous to mention, and
the good to be derived by Its mur-
chants from Mich a plan of publicity
as the Telegram will give, are all fac-
tors which necessitates such a plan of
publicity for the city as the Young
Men's Chamber of Commerce en-
dorsed last night.
lifted Is Improved.
Belton, Aug. I.—The hill road In
the westeifi part of the city limits
of Helton has recently been put in
excellent shape by tbe city and is
now one of the beit roads In the
outskirts of the town. It has been
excellently graded up and a good
coat of gravel put on It.

as fast as workmen can get to them.
Preparations are going forward dally
for the paving of more strets In

LIVESTOCK AND POI'I/TRY !»K-
PARTMRNTS WILL ADMIT
ALL COM KRS.
Tho Livestock and Toultry depart-
ments ef the 1D19 Bell County Fair
will be open to all comers under the
policy of the present management
of the fair, according to the presi-
dent, L. S. Williamson. Those who
Compete in these departments are
aware at the fact that the stronger
thji competition the more valuable
the winnings, he said.
The management desires to state
that Sam Cater of the Cater farm
near Midway where the grounds are
located, will be In charge of the
livestock department In Its several di-
visions, the heads of those divisions to
be made public later when the list is
made public later when the lint is
filled. Mr. Cater is experienced in
the line art work which has been as-
signed to him, having attended to
much of the detail of former fairs.
His labors this time will be lighten-
ed to some extent, it is thought, by
the divisional workers who get out
and got uncV'r the load and depend
upon him for guidance and informa-
tion. His Boperintendenoy of the en-
lire department insures that every
department will come up according
to plans, but the heads of depart-
ments are given latitude which en-
ables a man to outdistance the show-
ing of another department if such n
thing is possible.
Mrs. Susie T>enison Elliott of Bel-
ton has been assigned to the similar
authority in the Womans depar:*
ment. "she has charge over all,' the
president says. Mr. Williamson de-
clares that he expects that all the
burden, that might otherwise fall
upon the management of the fHlr,
will be transferred to the organiza-
tion of which Mrs. Klllott is the
manager, thus permitting each de-
partment to be promoted according
,to the ideas of those who have
charge. Mrs. Elliott Is making selec-
tion of her heads of departments
and they In turn will be expected to
choose workers, the plan being de-
signed to put a great deal of re-
sponsibility on the heads of depart-
ments but to lighten the work as
much as possible by having the or-
ganization arranged after the busi-
ness model used in the commercial
world. Mrs. Elliott brings the ex-
perience' of last year and the knowl-
edge of her many friends to bear
upon this department, together with
an executive ability which assures
the nru-tical operation of her or-
ganization.
The opening day of the fair, Tues-
day, Sept. 23, is one month and
twenty days off. The workers have
plenty of time to get their organiza-
tions Into Just the right state and the
Interest In the fair, as shown by In-
quiries received, Indicate that for the
1919 Bell County Fair "nothing
comes too early nor too late." Suc-
cess Is sticking out of the future for
the fair like ears of corn In a farm-
er's field, If the fair managers are
to be believed when thev tell of the
manner In which exhibit* are being
entered by tentative competitors.

ficient for him and In the future all

NEW FIRM TO HANDLE FARM
AND RANCH LOANS IN TEXAS
AND OKLAHOMA.
(Ttmpl* Telegram Special.)
Dalas, Tex., Aug. 2.—A federal
charter has been granted to the Hal-
las Joint Stock Land bank of Dallas
by the federal farm loan board at
Washington.
. This organization is the twenty-sec-
ond of Its kind In the United States.
The directors are Royal A. Ferris, A.
V; I-Ane, H. W. Ferguson, F. W. Hull,
J. B. Adoue Jr.. and L. H. Hopkins of
Dallas, T. A. Ferris of Waxahachle ami
Guy Houston of Chicago, who is pres-
ident of the First Joint Stock I .and
bank of that city.
Loan* for 3.1 Years.
The corporation was organized un-
der the federal farm loan act, ap-
proved July 17, 1916, by act of con-
gress. Tne purpose of the corporation
being to make loans on farms through-
out Texas and Oklahoma. The policy
of the company will be to make loans
to farmers on their lands at 6 per
cent rate. The loans will he made for
a period of thirty-three years, pay-
ments to be made in semi-annual In-
stallments at a fixed amount to reduce
principal and interest at each time of
payment.
"The procedure is practically the
same as on any other farm loans.
Other than the fact that the loan must
be made on the amortization plan.
The loan is Just a simple contract be-
tween the" land owner and the bank
There is no more red tape, troub'o
or expense In making such loans than
is required by any careful Investor.
"By the term 'amortization' is meant
the plan whereby, by the small pay-
ment of $10 per thousand In addition
to the interest, the whole of the loan
is paid in thirty-three years. On a
loan of $10,000, the payment of $700
annually will pay the Interest and en-
tire principal in a little less than thir-
ty-three years. The loan never falls
due all at one time.
"The borrower pays at the rate of
$70 per annum on each $1,000 bor-
rowed, but he never has any renewals
with Incidental expense. No one can
disturb him in the possession of his
land or demand further payments than
that. The loan, In fact, never falls
due, but Is gradually amortized or paid
off by the regular serfff-annual pay-
menst.
"The farm may bo sold subject to
this mortgage. In fact, a farm with
such a mortgage as this, being financed
for a generation, will sell for a better
price than If tbe purchaser had to pay
th» whole sale price In cash or ob-
tain a loan for himself."

Moline Universal Tractor and Power Lift Disc Plow
No other power lift on the market has the possibility of raising or lowering the plow
a notch or two at a time by a slight pressure on a foot lever in addition to being able
to raise bottoms full height out of the ground or lower full depth into the ground. This
makes for steady and continuous plowing without having to stop the engine and get off
and make bothersome hand adjustments. It is the only disc plow which has quick de-
tachable disc bearings—removable steel lining can be replaced without buying a whole
new bearing. Bearings are oil tight and dust proof to a greater degree than the or-
dinary discs. Also has an adjustment for giving more or less suck to the discs.
