TER CENT DECREASE
IN NUMBER OF HOGS IN
TEXAS DURING 7 YEARS
Austin, Texas, Nov. 21—During
the past seven years there has been
a decrease of nearly fifty per cent in
the number of hogs raised in Texas,
accltrgmg to figures obtained by Geo.
M. Lewis, live stock specialist in the
Bureau of Business Research of the
University of Texas. Mr. Lewis
states that there are now only 1,250,-
000 hogs on Texas farms as compar-
ed with 2,400,000 in 1920.

Butter Beat by Test
Scoring the relative merits of but-
ter by the standard tests, which are
applied by experienced dairymen, was
an un-heard-of thing in Smith county
till the 10-year Better Farming Pro-
gram began to promote the commer-
cial dairy business in the county. So,
at this point in the afternoon club
program, the members were ushered
into the dining room by the hostess
where they were given score cards
and pencils and instructed in a but-
ter-judging' contest directed by Miss
Huffhines. Each member had been
asked to bring one-fourth pound of
butter for this purpose. But the
“real test” came when piping hot
rolls were brought by the hostess—
and then how “the butter did fly!” It
may be added here that the beloved
Miss Huffhines proved in this fea-
ture to be the star performer, just
as she is in all those other activities
which are so interesting to the con-
scientious W. H. D. Club woman. The
“best by test” method of butter scor-
ing was followed by a service of de-
licious punch and cake by the host-
ess.
All then repaired to the poultry
yard where a demonstration was giv-
en in poultry culling. This provided
a very helpful service to the club
members who are really into the the
poultry business. :
TYLER. TEXAS. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 25. 1927
INVESTIGATING COTTON MILL
POSSIBILITIES FOR TYLER
HENRY EDWARDS & CO. Pub.
A committee of nine business men
of Tyler headed by C. A. Cox, Chair-
man of the Industrial Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, went to
Shreveport Monday to investigate the
possibilities and the feasibility 'of a
cotton mill for Tyler. Our Editor
was in the party—but, owing to the
heavy demands made upon his time
by various committee assignments
and by the fact that this publication
is going to press much earlier this
week than the accustomed press hour,
on aocount of Thanksgiving, we are
not reporting the result of the inves-
tigations in this issue. The event has
been covered, too, by the daily press
of Tyler and Dallas. It will be this
paper’s purpose to publish some con-
crete facts having a bearing on this
industrial proposition.

Commissioner Smith recited the
necessity for the existence of a chap-

who is eligible for membership. He
was eloquent in his tributes to the val-
or of the Southern soldiers and to the
heroism of Southern womanhood dur-

Whitehouse, Nov. 23—Interest is

of purebred bulls exclusively in cat-
tle-breeding operations is a goal which
many counties have sought but only
one other besides Craig County has
attained. That county was Union
county, Ky., which eradicated its
scrub and grade bulls in 1926. Craig
county thus is the second in the United
States and the first in Virginia to
achieve its distincton as a 100 per
cent pure-bred bull area.
The campagn for eradicating infer-
ior sires was conducted by W. O.
Martin, county agent, and progressive
livestock owners of the county, with
the assistance of L. I. Case, animal
husbandman of the State Extension
Division. In recognizing the county’s
achievement the United States De-
partment of Agriculture states that
the result is. especially noteworthy
since Craig County hail no purebred
bulls whatever 11 years ago. The
beef breeds of cattle predominate in
the region and a marked improvement
in the quality of young stock raised
has been evident during the last few
years in which purebred sires have re-
placed the scrubs and grades formerly
used. :

MOPAC MAKES A RECORD
HAUL OF TEXAS CATTLE
Houston, Nov. 21—Moving a train-
load of livestock from San Antonio
to St. Ijouis in 59 hours has helped
the Missouri Pacific Lines establish
what is said to be a record in hand-
ling Texas cattle to middle-western
markets. A thorough check on the
operating time of this train has just
been mad? by J. C. Weaver, livestock
agent of the Missouri Pacific Lines.
Twelve cars of this movement were
loaded at Uvalde at 3:00 p. m., Nov.
11. At 10:15 a. m. on the same date
five other cars were loaded at sepa-
rate pens at the same point. At 10
o’clock the same morning eight addi-
tional cars were sent from Laredo, all
to be consolidated into a special train
at San Antonio.
At noon on the following day the
train passed Longview Junction and
continued on to Texarkana, where
they arrived at 1 p. nt the same day,
there being unloaded and fed, as well
as given a rest in the pens. At 12:21
a. m. Nov. 13 they were again on
their way and arrived at St. Louis at
1:45 a. m. November 14, making a to-
tal running tiixxe of a few minutes

TO SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS
SITE FOR NEW COURTHOUSE
IS SELECTED AT HENDERSON
Monday the Commissioners Court
accepted the property of the E. J.
Teller estate, J. O. Ward, E. P. Baker,
W. M. Young and J. S. Lasseter. This
block of property fronts on North
Main street 220 feet by 360 feet run-
ning West. Considering the location
and the amount of improvements up-
on this property, the cbnsideration of
$16,500, is most reasonable.
It has been the intention of the
court td issue deficiency warrants to
secure funds with which to build the
new court house, but upon thorough
investigation find they can save for
the county something like $15,000 by
issuing bonds, therefore they have de-
cided upon a bond election and will
call same at their regular meeting,
Friday, the tentative date agreed up-
on will be Thursday, December 22.
The only issue that will be involv-
ed in the election is whether or not
the citizenship of Rusk county will
save the amount, approximated at
$15,000. The court is a unit upon
the proposition of a new court house,
ps is indicated by the purchase of the
fsite.—Rusk County News. :
COMMITTEE NAMED TO
PREPARE PLANS FOR
CANNERY AT TROUP
At a meeting in Troup Saturday
afternoon at which the proposition of
a canning factory at Troup was dis-
cussed, a committee was appointed to
draw up plans for the proposed plant
to be submitted at a later meeting.
The committee appointed for that pur-
pose consists of L. T. Norman, I. E.
Tackett, S. L.' Smith, R. W. Cook, M.
M. Tomrne, W. A. Suber and Osburn
McKay.
The plans for establishment of a
cannery here is that the plant should
be operated upon a co-operative basis,
following out a plan used by
co-operative gins. Under this 'sug-
gested plan, the plant would be owned
by local stockholders. _ :
“Notwithstanding the fact that the
state department of health has month
after month called the attention of
the people to the fact that their chil-
dren should be given protection
against diphtheria,” Dr. Anderson
Texas State health officer, stated, “and
that the responsibility of a child hav-
ing this disease rests squarely upon
the shoulders of the parents, the rav-
age from this destroyer of child health
and lifd is still going on. In fact, it
is much on the increase at the present
time, which goes to show that thous-
ands of parents in Texas are in a leth-
argic state, and need awakening to
the fact that the welfare of their
children is at stake. —- ■-
Increase Shown
“Late reports received by the state
department of health show an alarm-
ing increase in the number of cases
of diphtheria. In September, 150
cases were reported; October, 296;
and the first week in November, 100.
This increase is large enough to make
it necessary that concerted action be
taken by health authorities and others
interested in public welfare in insti-
tuting campaigns in each community
for diphtheria immunization.
“This immunization can be given
a child by the family physician, and
its administration is practically pain-
less and entirely harmless. Parents
who refuse or neglect to give their
children this simple protection, are
doing so at their own risk.’ :

In order that each county may take
its part in the general upbuilding of
the South and a greater Nation, the
Sons of Confederacy are undertaking
the building of a Southwide organiza-
tion, composed of local units or camps
in each Southern State. Every South-
ern county should have a strong camp ;J
in order that each county may have a
common ground on which to plan for
the propagation of Southern ideals. V
Tyler and Smith county should have a
strong camp in order that there may
be mutual knowledge of local affairs, a-
and, that intelligently take part in
civic work and social pleasures.
Captain Royal G. Phillips, who is
one of Tyler’s most active young busi-

MT. SYLVAN CLUB GIRLS
FINISHING 1ST YEAR WORK
The Journal, has a few dozen inter-
esting little books entitled “Wild
Game Life in Texas.” The book is
very interesting. The print is big
and easily read—and most of the
pages are taken up with pictures. You
will enjoy this book for it tells about
wild birds, waterfowl, fish, wild ani-
mals, such as deer, bob cats, fur-bear-
ing animals, and all kinds of wild
life in the woods and prairies of Tex-
as. It even tells about the snakes
and alligators—and other “monsters”
that h boy would like to hunt. It
tells about the feathered songsters
and the birds that are man’s friend—
and girls would like to read about
these too.
The Journal will give each school
boy or girl (one to a family) these
books as long as they last. All the
boy or girl has to do is to come to
The Tyler Journal office, 306 Citizens
National Bank, Tyler, and ask for
the book. We are glad to give it to
you—-you do not have to pay a thing
for it. Come soon, the supply of
books is rather limited.
To Teachers: Teachers desiring a
_c°py of “Wild Game Life of Texa_§“
can have a copy for their school’s li
brary by calling for same. If every
boy and girl in this country, ten and
twenty years ago had read this .book,
there would be no violation of the
game laws of our state today—and
boys who read it today will know bet-
ter than to kill the harmless birds
which are man’s best friends.

Plans are maturing, it is under-
stood, whereby certain of the most
eminent educators of the University
of Texas will deliver lectures in the
city after the holidays. Dr. Battle
will probably be the first lecturer and
will appear the latter part of January,
according to Rabbi M. Faber, former
Regent of the University who was in
Austin on Nov. 6 for the purpose of
speaking before some of the Univer-
sity clubs and fraternities.
These lectures will be under the
auspices of the Junior College and will
be absolutely free to the general pub-
lic. They will not be abstractions, or
have an appeal only to the few. They
will be upon topics of live popular in-
terests. Plans that are maturing by
Junior College authorities provide
that there will be at least one such
lecture of the first four months of the
year. /

welded together to insure the South’s
economic position and the Nation’s
greatness to protect against enemies
without and discontent within, and to
guarantee the preservation of Ameri-
can civilization. While adhering to a
complete belief in the rights of our
fathers, and justice of their cause,
the organization does not seek to stir
up sectional feeling, and grants to
others the same righ to their beliefs
as that claimed by it.
You who are Sons of the South
should show the world that you hdp-
or your ancestors and the cause for
which they so valiantly fought by
joining the Sons of Confederacy. Al-
so that you may help hold above
calumny the history and memory of
your father, that you may meet on
equal terms the men who have this
common heritage, of which you and
they should be justly proud, and that
together you may help solve your ev-
ery day problems. That you may give
of your worldly gains a little or much,
as circumstances may dictate toward
the complete memorialization of the
men and women of the Confederacy,
and that you may help endow the sev-
eral chairs in the South’s Universi-
ties whose duty will be to make exact
historical research in order that truth
about the South’s history may be
known and told—these and other rea-
sons would be just cause for all eligi-
ble men to join the S. C. V.
No true Southern man should hesi-
tate to back the Sons’ movement in
their efforts to build the largest and
strongest organisation in the South.
An organization such as this, will be
built in Tyler and Smith county, com-
posed of the sturdy and determined
Sons of the “Heart of East Texas”,
and it should accomplish more than
the upholding of the ideals and tradi-
tions of the South. They can and
should take their rightful place among
other wire-awake business and social
organizations in our community.
Headquarters are located at 406 Citi-
zens Bank Building, Tyler, Texas. :
