"The average date of the first kill-

of the cotton area to Decembar 1 in
extreme southern portion of the dis-
trict. "The frost date line of November

"By November 20 tlio average i;w-
hf frost advances South nearly as
far as Austin, Texas, Baton Rouge,
Iax., extreme southern Alabama and
southern Georgia and South Caro-
lina, while by the first of December
killing frost occurs well to the South-
ern limits of the cotto'i area in an
average season.
"Tho dates when frost occurs on
average one year in ten vary from
ton to fifteen days earlier, through-
out tho greater part of the district,
than the average killing frost dotes
referred to above which indicate kill-
ing frost one year in two. It must
bo recognized that the figures pcn
above are average of past records
and that they are in no way predic-
tions of what to expect during the
present season. Further, the dates
giviin are for large areas, while local
-topographic surroundings will vary
them somewhat.
"The reports from the Southern
States indicate that cotton is Inter
than usual this season particularly
in the northern part of the area
where it is estimated to be from two
to three ,veeks late".

FARMERS TO CO-OPERATE
IN THE BUYING OF FEED.
Ii
m ' '
Salado, Tex., Sept. lu.An en-
thusiastic meeting attended by 100
farmers, was held here this afternoon
in response to the call made by the
ofiicers of the Salado Corn Growers
ntwncMntion. as published in the Daily
Telegram this morning. The call for
the meeting was for all those inter-
ested in buying feed on the co-operative
plan. This proposition was dis-
cussed bv quite a number present
and an interesting talk was made by
R, W. Persons, clJunty demonstration
agent. .
Plans were inaugurated for buying
several carloads of corn, and all farm-
ers of Bell county will be invited to
co-operaate. To this end, a meeting
I has been called by the Salado Corn
'Growers' association to bo held at
the court house in Helton next Sat-
urday, to which all interested are in-
vited. A committee has been ap-
pointed from this association to con-
fer with any farmers who wish to
co-operate in buying feed in carload
lots, and it is believed that the feed
can bo purchased in this way at a
considerable saving to the farmers.
A pubicity committee was appoint-
ed at the meeting today consisting
of Carl Aiken, II. E. Cearly and T.
G. Harkcy.

Farm For Sale.
Georgetown, Tex., Sept. 7, 1017.
Hon. Jas. R. Hamilton, District Judge
of Williamson County, Texas.
We, the grnnd jury for the present
term, bog leave to submit the follow-
ing report:
1st. In regard to the violation of,
the laws in nil matters brought to
our attention, we have lilll,;ently
looked into and have returned in-
dictments in in nil instances where in
our judgement there is sufficient evi-
denece to convict.
2nd. We have made innuiry in all
matters of irregularities in tho hold-
ing of elections, the issuance and
delivery of poll tax receipts and ex-
emption receipts, and that the only
instance that we have found was
that the poll tax receipts in a few
cases have been mailed to different
banl s over the county and we recom-
mend that hereafter they be indi-
vidual. 3rd. We have visited the jail and
made inquiry as to the treatment of
prisoners and the conditions of the
jail and have found that the jail
has been kept in good condition and
that all prisoners were clean, healthy
and well fed, and that there was
no complaint whatever of their treat-
ment and we compliment the sheriff
on the general conditions of the jail.
4th. We find over the county that
.young men arc indulging in various
immoral practices, and we recom-
mend that the different local oilieers
be more dilligcut in the prosecutions
of violations of the law in their lo-
cal courts while the evidence is fresh
and the witnesses are available.
6th. As loyal citizens of the Unit-
ed States of America, we feel it our
duty to report to the court that
during our deliberations, rumors
have come to us that some persons
in this county are propogating, or
attempting to propoxate, a spirit of
disloyalty to our beloved president
and our federal government, by ut-
terances and the distribution of lit-
erature treasonable in their nature,
and while we are not empowered to
make official investigations, or to
take official action in federal mat-
ters, we deem it the patriotic duty
of every loyal American citizen to
protect as far as possible, the honor
and safety of the United States by
denouncing disloyal conduct and
giving definite notice of same to
federal authorities that spies and
traitors may be apprehended and
punished.
Respectfully submitted,
CLAUDE D. TEER,
Foreman.
Taylor, Texas, Sept. 11. p'-dimi-nary
arrangements hrvo about lutn
comploted by the Baptist churches of
Williamson county for the or; .inin-
tlon of. tho now Williamson lounty
Baptist Association, to 'a composed
of tho various Baptist "hun-hes of
this county.
Most of the churjn-'s (.f (he cani-
ty have herctoforo belonged to the
Austin Baptist Asso. n.Hoii and the
Salado Baptist Association, and were
scattered thus over a i.tid unwieldy
territory, for which vutison it wj de-
cided by the vnrious churches of the
county that n more lomiuet territory
could be arranged 1'or the best ad-
vantage of all eonccri'.cl by with-
drawing from the several other as-
sociations and froining the new as-
sociation of Williamson county.
To this end the various churches
have petitioned tlteir respective as
sociations ot which they wore here-
tofore members, for letters of dis-
missal, in order to enter into the new
association.
Messengers have been elected from
each of the county churches, num-
bering some thirty or more, and or-
ganization will be effected at a meet-
ing to bo held in Georgetown Wed-
nesday night and Thursday and
Thursday night of next week, Sept.
2G and 27. Other churches geo-
graphically located so as to find it of
udvntagc to do so wil be invited to
join. Therefore, the new association
will not be wholly confined to Wil-
liamson county, but will include
neighboring county churches who de-
sire, through location contiguous
to come into the new association
Each church is invited to send
three delegates to the Georgetown
meeting of organization next week
and each church is entitled to one
additional representative for every
twenty-five members over fifty.
The new association expects to em-
ploy a regular missionary for the
associational work of the county.
The Williamson County universal
accord in the movement and the com-
mittee in chare is Rev. W. E.
Foster, Rev. J. J. Burl- and G W
Springfield.

Ahks Suspension Stock Laws.
Temple, Tex., Sept. 12. Postmas-
ter A. Dienst, originator of a move-
ment having for' its object a partial
suspension of the law prohibiting
stock from running at large, address-
ed petition to the Bell County Com-
missioners' Court asking that the im-
pounding of stock running at large
upon public highways be suspended
until proper restrictions. He says
that such action is neccessury in view
of the scarcity of stock feed in this
section, and the prevailing hi.?h
prices and that Bell County roads
are lined heavily with nutritious
grasses and blood weed that is going
to waste.

A Money Saving Sale of New Fall
le-de-chine Blouses
that demonstrates most convincingly how our patrons
benefit from our co-operative merchandising methods
A great many months ago; in fact early last Spring, a manufacturer of good
Waists, bought tremendous quantities of fine silk.
He knew that prices would advance excessively as they since have.
m
. . ?e likewise knew that a certain number of good stores would take all
the Waists he could produce, figured on the basis of cost of material to him.
We together with other merchants in other cities, placed open orders
for these Blouses, to be delivered at periodic intervals during the Fall and
Winter, to be made up in the new and wanted styles.
The first allotment has just come in, and will go on sale tomorrow.
As was expected they are most unusual in value, for in addition to the
saving on the material, the arrangement effected many other savings: such as
eliminating selling expense and lower making cost.
Selling as we buy; giving our patrons the benefit of any advantage we
possess, instead of charging "all the traffic will bear" the blouses will be sold,
while they last,' (for no more of the styles can be obtained.) at:
