MOVEMENT TO BUILD
COLISEUM IN SAX ANGELO.
(T»mpl« Telegram Special.)
San Angelo, Tex., Dee. 20.— The
movement to build a coliseum in San
i Angelo probably embracing the fea-
tures of a T. M. C. A. and serving as
a memorial to Tom Oreen county
boys who served In the war was of-
ficially approved Friday by the board
of city development. Ranchman par-
ticularly favor the plan owing to the
fact that San Angelo hopes each year
to entertain the sheep & goat raisers
lssoclstlon of Texas. In 1920 the Tex-
as Kiks' state association will also
hold Its convention In this city.
It was estimated Friday that a brick
fireproof coliseum with a concrete
floor and an area of 125 by 200 feet
would cost between $60,000 and $700,-
000.

Laclede Preparing
For Gen. Pershing
< Associated Pri •* Diapntrh.)
lAtiede, Mo., Dec. 20.—1 .aclede 1*
getting ready for the homecoming of
Its most famous son, Gen. John Joseph
Pershing, who is to be here'Dec. 23.
Laclede has been awaiting the general
a long time—ever since he came back
from France. For It was In this little
town that General Pershing was l>orn.
Ixiclede was a town of 300 then—
that was Sept. 13, 1860. Laclede Is
a town of 700 now—a rambling Mis-
souri town of two banks, one weekly
paper, a few general stores, a big park
where in warm weather, residents
were wont to gather and discuss the
war, and Pershlng'e part in It, and
whnt he had and hadn't done when he
was a boy in Laclede.
Ijielede generally agrees that John
Pershing—that Is Laclede's designa-
tion for the commander In chief of the
A. E. F.—was "no ways remarkable"
as a boy. He grew up, went to school
and church and Sunday school, fished,
hunted, and was Interested in getting
an education.
He graduated from the Kirksville
normal school at 20, and then, an op-
portunity presenting Itself to enter a
competitive examination for West
Point, Pershing availed himself of it,
won by one point and went to the
military academy. Since that time
I-aelede has seen little of Its famous
son.
He made a visit twelve or fourteen
years ago, and called on "Aunt" Susan
Hewett, pioneer, who snys, "I^iw*, yes,
I remember John when he wasn't
more than 3 years old. We used to
run the hotel, and When Jdhn was big
enough to put on trousers, he used to
eat more pie In our kitchen than any
boy in town."
Laclede Is planning the biggest sort
of a day Dec. 23. There won't be
much formality, but plenty of hand-
shaking, music, oratory, friend chick-
en and home made preserves.
Hogs and More Hogs
The first installment of shipments for The First National's hog club reached Temple
yesterday. A five months old boar pig, a long, stretchy fellow, and a big 18 months old
boar that took the third prize at the recent great National Swine Show at Des Moines,
Iowa, and that sold as a pig for $1,100.00, and known as Buster King, comprised the first
shipment.
Giant Buster Boar, the half brother of Buster King, took grand champion prize at
the last Dallas Fair, and sold fo>r $6,000.00.
These are some fine Big Boned Poland China hogs! Aren't they? The remaining
shipments will follow along gradually.
By lending some of this community's surplus money to the thrifty and enterprising
members of The First National's hog club, this institution hopes to be largely instrumen-
tal in producing a considerable new contribution to the community's food supply, and
at the same time help to establish a permanent and substantial breeding ground in Bell
County for the highest type of purebred registered livestock.
If the members of the First National's hog club will give their business the intelligent
and industrious attention it deserves and must have, the movement will not only redound
to their financial benefit; but to the great advantage of this community.
Did you read our last regular statement, showing a deposit account of $2,348,000.00?
Wasn't that some deposit? If we can serve others advantageously, why can't we serve
you advantageously?

last legislature at the disposal of the
; governor to meet deficiencies arising
in the funds of the various state de-
1 partments and Institutions during the
■ two fiscal years beginning Sept. 1,

The governor recently approved a
512,000 deficiency for A. ft M. college, I
ja $10,000 deficiency for the Junior A.
j ft M. college n t Stephenville, and $1,-,
a defici. ncy for the Orubbs voca-
' tional school at Arlington. This
J !>.■<• lii'ltt total deficiencies approved
I during the first four months of this
fiscal year up to $157,325. Deficlen-
cii s approved previous to these were
for the University of Texas, the state .
Insane asylum, the College of Indus-
trial arts and the state orphan's home.
The A. ft M. deficiency, according
to President W. !!„ Bizzell, is to pay
salaries of additional instructors made
necessary by the increased attendance.
Thei Junior A. ft M. deficiency Is to
repair two buildings, while that for
the CiruldiS vocational school also is
for repairs.
When the $200,000 fund si t asiije bv
the legislature is exhausted the gover-
nor can approve no more deficiencies.

their stomachs droop like the baggy-
knees of an impressed pair of trou-
sers but to put In on the shelf where
It belongs and leave It there. By

Austin, Tex., Dec. I0.|—Preliminary

according to a statement from the
state health department
This department ta receiving nu-
merous inquiries which complain of
the number of rats and mice Infesting
various sections of the state and ask-
ing how to exterminate them. The
department advises starving the ver-
min by shutting them out of houses
containing food, trapping, poisoning
and hunting them with cnts and dogs.
While there has been no report of
bubonic plague or other rat-carried
diseases In Texas the department stat-
ed these diseases are In neighboring
states, and the numerous rodents con-
stitute a menace.
