In this dty at the meeting of the
Cameron Chamber of Commerce that
the state highway commission at Aus-
tin on that afternoon had passed
finally upon the Sap highway proposi-
tion that had been placed before this
body on the Tuesday before by some
500 representatives from towns af-
fected by Ihla road. The decision
of this body was to designate the
road and the appropriation for fame
was $125,000.
This was heralded a* gladsome news
by everyliody. The building of this
road means much to Cameron and
Milam county as well as every town
located on same. The road as out-
lined will run south parellel with the
Hu.ii Antonio and Aransas Paw rail-
way from Waco to Glddings and will
touch the towns of Chilton, I*>tt,
Travis, I'.ossbud, Burlington. Ben Ar-
nold, Cameron, Minerva,, Rockdale.

It Is related that the strongest del-
egation that, ever went after a high-
way was this Hap organization. It was
headed by Hon. T. S. Henderson of
Cameron as president and a director
from every town affected.
It Is planned to build a permanent
road, not one that will last only a
few years. Bummed up In Milam coun-
ty (here Is now available, in the va-
rious districts which this road will
traverse, the sum of $240,000 for bonds

Woman's Missionary Conference.
(Temple Telegram Special.)
Corsicana, Tex., April 27.—The
ninth annual meeting of the Woman's
Missionary society of the Central
Texas conference of the Methodist
church South, which was In session
here this week was one of the most
Interesting meetings ever held by this
body It Is said.
There were 200 delegates present
and a number of distinguished vis-
itors, among whom were Bishop W. H.
A Ins worth of Austin; Mm. J. W. Downs,
secretary of social service and edu-
cational institutions of the mission-
ary council, Nashville, Tenn.; Miss
Agnes Graham of" Korea and Miss
Nell Bennett of Japan, two mission-
aries at home on furlough; and Dr.
Belle H. Bennett. Nashville. Tenn.,
president of the Women's Missionary

ference at Its annual session and the
honor was conferred at this -time for
the reason that Dr. Bennett is visiting

next?" Ktta V. Lelghton, civic sec-
retary of the National Security league,
declares that "To Make America,
American is Woman's Next Job."
Concluding her argument, which has
been sent to the press for publication
she says:
Here Is a task for the women of
America, the making of educational
equality of opportunity come tree,
bridging the chasm between grammar
and high school, and between high
school and college, so that those able
to profit by higher education shall
not be denied their chance for eco-
nomic reasons, but may be inspired
and helped to take the placept those
who gave their lives for freedom and
equality.
Think not the new burden Is light-
er than the old. There Is a great urge
and an Increase qf strength that
comes with the call for physical suf-
fering and sacrifice, but there is a
tremendous and soul stirring tug that
oomes with the call for continued
mental and physical striving for so-
cial betterment. This is a new cam-
paign in an old war between ignor-
ance and wisdom, between bolshe-
ifsm and Americanism. The women
must take up, not only the immediate
menace, and ignorance that allows
these foolishly wicked anti-American
doctrines to spread; they will not only
conquer this menace by diffusing
broadcast the light of knowledge of
our institutions and the orderlly free-
dom they protect, but they will look
at the same time, as women always
do, to the future, and, through con-
certed effort, will open wider than
ever tlio doors of opportunity to the
halls of education, that the new day
may dawn when wiser leaders and
wiser people may guide a still great-
er America.

Austin, Tex., April 27.—Upshur Vin-

ation of the home buying problem in
Texas, has Issued the following state-
ment :
"The tenant farmer and the home-
less man are the problems of the old
world countries and they are speedily
becoming the problems of America.
"Texas has had so much land that,
had it been properly used, this state
would have had no land problem for
another century. But the land has
been wastefully given away and to-
day the poor man with a family who
wants a home is faced with a difficult
task.
"Practically every homeless man
has at some time made the effort to
secure a home for his family. He
has worked hard, saved money, and
finally accumulated enough to make
tho first payment on a place he could
call his. The first year all went well,
perhaps the second year was a pros
perous one; but in nearly every case

by sickness or other cause beyond

Health Exhibits.
(Temple Telegram Special.)
Washington, D. C„ April 27.—The
United States Public Health service
of the treasury department will have
an official health exhibit at every ag-
ricultural fair to be held this year,
according to the statement of the
weekly press sheet just Issuer as fol-
lows:
Reports from clinics for the week
indicate that farmers are taking a
Ireen Interest in the fight for the
United States public health service
for the eradication of venereal dis-
eases. The Columbia, 8. C., clinic re-
ported that farm laborers had driven
twenty miles through the country to
get th„ benefit of free treatment. Sim-
ilar reports were received from other
stations.
Everywhere the farmer has been
anxious to co-operate with the gov-
ernment and state boards of health
in combating one of the greatest men-
aces to public health, but until quite
recently it was impossible to ade-
quately reach the ru*al districts with
educational literature on the subject.
However, a plan has been arranged
whereby the public health service will
have an official exhibit at every one
of the agricultural fairs to be held
this year.
» "* from posters and charts
,ig the ravages of veneral dis-
eases on American manhood and wo-
manhood, pamphlets will be distrib-
uted to the farmer giving a more in-
timate insight of the menace.
Through the co-operation of state
and county boards of health special
arrangement* may be made for the
free treatment of farm laborers dur-
ing the weeks the fair is being held.
Coryell County Crips.
(Gatesville Messenger,)
There was never a time in the Ii's-
tory of Coryell county when crop pros-
pects were brighter.
The acreage of grain in this sec-
tion is perhaps three or four times
what It was a few years ago.
Beginning early in the fall rains
have fallen continuously until old tim-
ers tell us that Coryell county has the
best bottom season in ten years. Once
again the creeks and branches are
running and the springs have all come
back.
For several weeks now we have
been having sunshine—just what the
wheat crop had to have—and today
the promise Is abundant for the
greatest acreage for many years.

Fully two hundred friends of Col.
Oscar E. Roberts gathered at the I.

him as lie arrived on the Sunshine
special from St. Louis, after three
years absence from this city, during
which time he saw service on the
Mexican border, st Camp Bowie, Ft.
Worth, and on the bloody battle-
fields of France. The reception was
indeed an honor to our fellow towns-
man, who had served his country
during the hardest days of the strug-
gle across the water.
As he alighted from the coach the
large crowd closely gathered around
him and the handshaking began.
Colonel Roberta told the friends that
he greatly appreciated the reception
and was more than delighted to be
back among his friends In Taylor.
For his gallantry In action under
heavy fire and able leadership or his
regiment in the Meuse-Argonne fight-
ing, General Petain cited the colonel
and decorated him with the much

Need Rain at Burnet.
i Burnet Bulletin.)
There is considerable complaint of
rust in the wheat in this section, but
it seems to be the opinion if we could
have a good rain that it would be
washed off the blnd> and make a
good yield. The wri er has not had
enough experience in wheat culture
to offer an intelligent opinion upon
the matter, but he knows tlie wheat
on his farm'has rust ail the way up to
the top blades and it needs something
to get it off We thought at first
that dry weather was what it needed
but it now looks like It cannot recov-
er without a rain. About nil we
know about it is that farming is an
uncertain proposition. Every thing
can look as lovely as a June bride and
in perhaps two weeks a failure will
be staring a man in the face. When
we think of how the farmer worksxand
the meagre reward he usually re-
ceives for his labor, It makes us mad
to read of men in the labor centers
who are going on strikes when they
are getting from six to eight dollars
a day, and complaining sit the high
price of commodities the farmers
raise.

Hope for Pro-War Schedule.
(Hamilton Record).
"It is my opinion after talking
with va ious members of the railroad
commission at Austin Tuesday, that
Hamilton wilt soon be given motor
car service from Waco to Hamilton
cn the pre-war schedule," said F. C.
Williams, a member of the body of
representatives who appeared before
the commission In behalf of the re-
sumption of pre-war service on the
Cotton Belt from Waco to Hamilton.
Mr. Williams said further. "We
found the Cotton Belt people very
fi-.\ o-able toward th<« resumption of
the former service in this section of
the state, but of course, these men
curtailed in their activities be-

before we started that if 1 became
dizzy and wanted to cotne down to
point to the earth and he'd take me
back, but he hadn't counted on my
wanting to go up, I presume.
But we headed right straight for
a big white one—one of the fleecy
kind, that looks like ripples of
whipped cream. But,alas, like some
of our fondest dreams, we find they're
nothing to illusions when we get to
them. This cloud was the biggest fake
I'd ever seen, for It melted into al-
most nothing when we passed through
it—Just like a foggy day down on
Houston street, no more thrill than
that! After we got above It, though.
It .began to take on beauty again,
floating down there between us and
the earth.
About this time ihe aviator began
turning the machine sideways, and
droppin' down suddenly, but he didn't
do any big stunts. It was like going
down in an elevator—gave you a queer
little sinking sensation for a minute
or two, and the world looked like it
was all turning topsy turvey, but we

Plant Cow Pens In Corn.
(Gatesville Messenger.)
Now is the time to plant the cow
peas in corn. The planting of peas in
corn should not be delayed many
days now or there is a big chance of
failure. Tbe way to plant peas in
corn in this section Is to plant them
cn the rows between the hills of corn
If planted that way and while corn
ia smalt, they seldom fail to make
good. Several made very good peas
here even last year by planting this
way. Many men drop these peas in
front of the plow while cultivating,
or have a child on the cultivator to
do the dropping. Peas planted this
way do not cut down the yield of
the corn, but frequently cause the
corn to make more. What is made
in the way of peas and vines for fail
grazing is pure "velvet," as tho en-
riching of the ground by having
grown peas is much greater thsn the
cost of tbe seed and work done.
Mr. M. W. Murray still has some of
the Durso seed on hand to sell. In
making the order for these seed a
few more bushels were ordered than
had been subscribed for in order to
accoBDuisdate those who had not sub-
scribed. These seed may be planted
at any time until within ninety "days
of fait front. Every farmer should
have at least a small patch to observe
tbe ttftrtk and excellence of this fine
food. When these seed are disposed

Mother Wolf aiid Thirteen Pnpe.

was in good living order—considering
that she had survived ths dry years

(Jets Christmas Package Back.
(Bailinger Ledger).
The Trf'dgtr had not been off the
press thirty minutes Tuesday after-
noon wlien Jim Parnell called and
claimed the Christmas package which
was addresses to "John D. Parnett"
and which went to France and was re-
turned to Bailinger. The package wa!?
left at The Ledger office and a notice
in the paper caught Mr. Parnell's
eys, and he at once figured out how
the error which cheated his son out
of his Christmas i>ac.kage was made,
and It Was thus: Mr. Parnell sent the
package to his son John D. Parnell Ip
France. The address had been erased
or dimmed In handling, and some
employ in the mail service undertook
to restore the name and in doing so
made a double "I" out of the double
"1" and the name was made 'Parnett'
when it should have been Parnell.

Dallas, Tex., April 27.—In order to
get a new point of view on the im-
provements meded by Dallas, Frank
W. Wosencraft, the newly elected
mayor, has taken a bird's eye view of
the city by airplane. He spent sev- j
era! hours in the air with Major Al-
bert Sneed, commander of Love field.
"The first thing I saw was the need
of straightening thf. Trinity river,"
said the mayor. "I have lived here
all my life but 1 never before realized
the twUTts iintl turns that stream
make*. It 1h so crooked, it makes a
rattle snake look like a straight line.
"My observations would lead me to
believe that about one-third of the
tillable land in and around Dallas Is
plowed and in cultivation. Ihe re-
mainder seems to. be green in new
crops.
"The necessity of removing the
railroad tracks from Pacific avenue
also impressed me. The picture is
of a metropolitan city with one of its
main down town streets blocked con-
stantly with freight cars and freight
sheds.
"Dallas' paved road system looks
good from on high—much better in
fact than It. really is when you roll
over the roads in an automobile."

G. I/ewis, geologist from Wichita
Falls, und Mr. Buchanan, railroad
engineer, who have been looking over
the situation here with a view to
promoting tlie establishment, of a rail-
road to be projected from Austin to
some point in Colorado, presumably
by way of San Saba and Lampasas,
have had conferences with the busi-
ness and professional men of this
community but have not reached def-
iuate conclusions on the matter. The
local Business Mens' association is
ctMsidering the project and will ten-
der a proposition later which they
think will serve to advance the in-
terests of the community and help in
getting the movement started.
Speaking of the conditions now pre-
vailing in Lampasas county, taken in
connection with the earth marks of
this section, Dr. Lewis left the im-
[pression that if there is any truth
in apparent geological facts, there is
a large field of production awaiting
the coming of development in I*im-
pasas county.
Mollin Keltool Closes Friday.
(Mullin Enterprise.)
The Mullin sc hools will close next
Friday, May 2. two weeks earlier than
first anticipated. This is somewhat of
a surprise, for until recently it was
thought that there were sufficient
funds In the treasurer to run the
school two weeks longer, but on in-
vestigation, it was found that only
enough remained to have one more
week of school which closes soon.
commissioners court of Milam county
in session this week ordered a spe-
cial road bond election held in dis-
trict No. 25. which is the Yarrelton
community, for the sum of $50,000
to build good roads. This order
covers a good trade territory for
Cameron and everything points to
the success of the project.
Since the Cameron commercial
club started activities in load ' uild-
ing, soon after the war was ended,
ihere his been more than one half
million dollars In bonds voted In
Milam county and there is almost
that much more Involved In elec-
tions that have been ordered. There
are two or three districts getting
petitions ready for presentation to
order elections and when they are
through and the elections carry it is
planned that, more than »1.000.000
will be spent In the county for good
roads, and a large part of this sum
will be available very soon.
In addition to the county money,
there are two state highway, or con-
necting highways cross tbe county
upon which state and federal aid
luis been granted to the amount of
$45,000 aside from the appropriation
of the $125,000 for the Sap highway.
There will be no let up In Mllnm
county until every highway road,
lane and alley is a good thorough-
fare. The big advantage that Milam
has ever many other counties Is that
when a good gravel road is built it
will stand on It'A foundation, and
another is that gravel Is available
in every road district with only a
• hort haul.
Advise Going Ahead.
(Temple Tclosriim Special.)
Washington. April 27.- After an
extended studv of prices, it is the
opinion of the division of public
works and construction development
that a new price level has been es-
tablished by the economic conditions
attending the world war; and that
economic forces appear to have al-
ready acted to stabllze prices at a
level below which they are not likely
to fall by nnv appreciable amount
In the near future. It is believed
that the growing confidence In the
future of business In this country,
evidence of which is seen on all
sides, 1* well jus ifled bv the facts
that hr*' been learned through ths
study if 'he price situation, Evi-
dence • r the stability of buslnesn to-
day Is the fact that during a five
months' period of stagnation, the
number of business failures has been
unusually low.
At the present time there Is less
concern over high prices than there
in with regard to the stability of
prices. It appears that the wisest
business men are those who decide
now to go ahead with the construc-
tion of buildings and the production
of goods; the need for both form*
of activity are more imperative now
than ever before.
