In connection with tho enforcement
of the provision of tho low requir-
ing all chauffers to havo license and
forbidding license to any person under
eighteen years of ngc, Mr. Hunton
carts attention to the fact that in
191,7, County Attorney Lewis It. Jones
, unfcmlttcd to tho attorney general a
case which involved n legal ruling as
to whether a person under eighteen
years of ago In tho employ of a mer-
cantile establishment is, .under the
law considered a chauffer if one of
the, duties of his position is to drive
the, automobile delivery for the cs-
1 tabliahmcnt.
The substance of the, attomoy gen-
eral's ruling is summerlzcd by the
state highway department as follows
ways for a tap lino to Rosebud, con
necting there with tho Snn Antonio
and Aransas, Tass. Surveyors will
soon itake tho field from both ends
and the engineers' report is expected
to be In hnnd within 30 days there
after. ,

curcd at Robstown last week.
Mr. Harvill and family resided at
Jarrcll and tho immediate vicinity for

In discussing tho work which' he
has undertaken Air. Hunton mqdc the
following significant remark yester-
day afternoon: "I havo Just been In

many ships Ifi tho world for" hauling
freight now as thero was before the
war- by mtlllons of tons. We Can
clearly sec thnt It is a physical im
possibility to Sell and ship. the. com-
ing crop as fast a gathered. We
must remember cotton exportor,s buy
very .little cotton unless ttjey "can sell
it, and they cannot sell unless they
can ship. If they do buy and hold a
small amount they cannot pny as
much for it as they would if they
could ship readily. It docs not re-
quire a cotton expert, banker. or po-
litician to sco that the South can
not follow tho practice of selling her
cotton as fast as gathered, unless
she docs so to speculators at pre-
war prices of 10 to 12 cents. The
most Illiterate can sco thnt it is an
impossibility to maintain, prices near
the cost of production and attempt
to sell the next several crops ns fast
as gathered. All agree prices must
be maintained, to prevent bankrupt
cy as the crop has been very expen
sive to make.
Many farmers arc in debt to
hanks and mcrchnnts who ced their
money. They would like to collect
their debts ns fast as cotton is gnth
jred and the farmers would like to
pay. But wo have a condition con
fronting us which is no theory or
dreams. It is the result of n world
war, and we must not feel that be
cause hostilities havo ceased normal
conditions hnvc rcturncdf Thoy have
not and will not for several years
and we all hope that so' far as prices
of cotton arc concerned they never
will. . '
The Inst Legislature of Texas en
acted some wise lnws which will en-
able those in debt to meet their obli
gations without selling their cotton
and without throwing the banks in a
strain or danger. In. tho past there
..was no law fn. Texas whereby warc-

person to another becnuse of the
guarantee of tno State behind it.
Thq Weights and Measure law
provides that every person weighing
for th'u public must give bond to the
State for correct weighing. Tho Uni-
form Wnrchousp receipts act provide?
that if a farmer takes his cotton to
a cotton yard or warehouse and calls
for a ncgotinblo receipt, tho man-
ager of such yard or house must is-
suo him such receipt which must,
state tho weight and grnde of the
bale of cotton. Bond is nlso required
to bo given tho State, and the balo
has been correctly graded and will
bo protected from damage or loss.
This law places a bonded weigher
and grader In every mnrket place In
tho State
Thus a smnll bank cqn mnko loans
to farmers on cotton and if it gets
ovcrlondod,. the receipts can be pass-
ed on to tho Resorve Bank or other
large banks, trust companies, or In
dividuals who Tinve money to loan on
tho safest of collateral. This should
bo of special advantage to the coun-
try bank, sine tho Copiptrollcr has
ruled that Section 5260 of the Na-
tional BnnMng will bo-atiictly en-
forced, which prohibits a bank from
loaning moro than 10 per cent of
Its capital and surplus to one person
or firm. Tho bnnk's deposits can bo
loaned to tho farmer in place of to
tho speculator, which is much safer
to tho banks. ,It will aid materially.
in preventing moro cotton from go-
ing on tho mnrket that can be ship-

and All Tire Worry.
Cut your tire bills in two mimimlze your outlay fori re-
pairsincrease the comfort and security of your motor-
ing, and improve the aHpcarance of your car.
All this is accomplished with a tire that has the advan-
tage of, 20 per cent oversize, yet costs only 1-2 Vs
much as ordinary tires..
Charles C. Gates has made it possible with the inven-
tion of an improved principle of tire construction.
Because of this principle, 500,000 motorists, including
the largest business houses in the country are now
getting 5,000 to 15,000 puncture proof tire mileage,
and at the same time are rutting . their tire bills In
