ENGINEER RECOVERING AFTER
REMARKABLE OPERATION
By Associated Press
Dallas, Texas, March 27.—Charles
Reed, aged 35, locomotive engineer,
who since June 6, 1915, has been lan-
guishing in a hospital bed here suf-
fernig from severe burns he received
by being scalded with steam when
his locomotive was wrecked near
here, physicians say, will recover as
a result of a series of skin-grafting
operations—one of the most remark-
able cases on record.
Nearly fifty persons have gone
under the surgeon’s knife to give
patches of skin grafted on Reed’s
back. It is said that possibly a score
or more persons will undergo the
grafting operation before the scalded
skin will be replaced with live cuti-
cle. On the first grafting operation,
thirty-six strips of skin, each six-
teen inches long and one inch wide,
were placed on Reed’s back.
Reed’s case has attracted the at-
tention of physicians and surgeons
over the country and the statement
of attending doctors that he will pos-
sibly recover within a few months
promises to add new interest to the
case.
Will Address A. ft M. Students.
By Associated Press
College Station, Texas, March 27.—
Dr. Raymond A. Pearson, president
of the Iowa State College of Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Arts, at Ames,
Iowa, will deliver the address to the
graduating class of the Texas Agri-
cultural & Mechanical College here,
according to an announcement today
by President Bizxell.
The commencement sermon will
be preached by Dr. George S. Sexton,
pastor of the First Methodist church
of Shreveport, La., widely known in
the South in Methodist circles.

ingly and have been well rewarded,
as the little cotton planted, made very
small returns, while the peanuts made
good yields.
At Rising Star I learned that the
farmers tributary to that town have
received nearly $400,000 for peanuts,
hogs, chickens, eggs, cream, butter,
oats, mules and horses. The horses
and mules are a small tiem as not
many are raised for the market there.
The peanut crop was the big thing.
The above amount is exclusive of
cotton as the weevil got the cotton
and mules are a small time as not
bales, which shows what a small fig-
ure cotton cut in the receipts. In
driving down from Cisco to Rising
Star I counted twenty-one wagon
loads of hogs that were on the way
to Cisco to be shipped to Fort Worth
to market.
DeLeon has shipped about 100 cars
of hogs and 500 cars of peanuts this
season. The towns of. Cross Plains,
Carbon, Gorman, DeLeon, Rising
Star, Dublin and Stephenville shipped
a little over 1,000 cars of peanuts;
you will see that DeLeon contributed
half of the amount.
There are miles of hogproof fence
in those counties, where a few yeais
ago none could be seen. The farm-
ers around Cross Plains have hog
clubs who bring what hogs they have
read for market, and in this way
make up car shipments among them-
selves. In some of those towns there
are regular hog buyers who purchase
the hogs and save the farmer the
work of shipping.
I talked with a good many farmers
met in DeLeon, Cross Plains and
Rising Star, and asked them if they
were going back to cotton as soon
as the weevUs left the country. Ev
ery man said he was done with cot-
ton as the main crop as they were do
ing well; were getting money every
week in tbe year out of their pro-
ducts. They said they were living at
home, have more ready money, less
grocery bills to pay and are more in-
dependent. The merchants have less
on their books against the farmers
and say they are in better shape
than for several years. The farm
are planted in April and May, good
crops were harvested last fall that
were planted in June. They say they
do not have to keep the children out
of school as they do in chopping and
picking cotton. Peanuts are easy 'o
harvest, and the hay helps, too.
I asked a farmer in DeLeon about
peanut hay; he said his hay paid him
$5.00 an acre.
Eastland and Comanche counties
have produced most of the peanuts
up to this time, however, Erath conn
ty is going in strong for peanuts his
year and will plant a large acreage.
The peanut farmers in Eastland and
Comanche counties were badly handi-
capped in 1913 for lack of threshers.
There were at least sixty threshers
operating in those two counties the
past season. To show you something
about the growth of that industry,
there will be over fifty threshers sold
the coming season in Erath, Eastland
and Comanche counties.
The Comanche and Gorman oil
mills have equipped their cotton od
mills with machinery to grin! pea
nuts and are putting out peanut oil,
cake and meal. They will increase
the output this year and are well
pleased with their experience so far.
There is no finer land in Texas for
producing peanuts than the sandy
land of Parker county, and what
Eastland and Comanche county farm
ers can do, can be done as well by
our farmers in Parker county. There
is no better weevil eradicator than a
crop of peanuts.

LAST OF STONE AGE INDIANS
DEAD IN CALIFORNIA,

San Francisco, March 27.—Ishl,

Indians which once flourished in Cal*
ifornia east of Sacramento, vrhoae

Cal., resulted in his adoption by MT-
ants of tbe University of California
as a valuable autbropologist acqulal*

terruption of his wild, outdoor life.
Since shortly after his appearanoe,

Ishi was maintained as a living ex-
hibit in the Affiliated Colleges Mu-
seum in San Francisco, where he kin-
dled fires by rubbing two sticks to-

exhibited prowess in other primitive
exploits for the entertainment and
instruction of thousands of visitors,
Ishi died nameless, for “Ishl” in the
language of his vanished tribe, meaaa

ars. He was about 60 yearB old.
By Associated Press
Petrograd, March 27.—The sudden
development of a Russian offensive
on the Dvinsk front, which has taken
the Germans by surprise, has, during
the past week, resulted in a consid-
erable advance by the Russians over
two of the most important sectors—
at Jacobstadt, which protects the
northern flank, and in the Narocz
lake regjjon, which defends the south-
ern position. At neither point, al-
though they brought all available re-
serves into action, and contested the
onslaughts step by step, were the
Germans able to stay the Russian ad-
vance.
Although from the official state-
ment it might be inferred that fight-
ing of equal importance is extending
over the whole area known as the
northern front, stretching from Riga
to the lake district south of Dvinsk,
the main Russian effort being made
on the southern portion of this line,
where the Russians are proceeding
toward Sventsiany. If pushed to a
successsful conclusion, this move-
ment would result in the capture of
the important Vilna-Dvinsk railway,
which now serves the Germans oper-
ating at Dvinsk.

Austin, Texas, March 27.—Gold
coin has practically disappeared from
circulation in Texas, according to in-
formation from the state treasury
department. Conditions in Europe
isr the reason assigned for the elimi-
nation of gold coin as current legal
tender.
Of the $3,500 in cash in the state
treasury less than $1,000 is in gold
coin, and it is now a rare occurrence
for a tax collector to remit gold in
the payment of tax collections.
Before the war in Europe there
was upwards of $1,000,000 in gold in
the state treasury—now this has been
replaced with federal reserve notes.
