Eastland merchants have apparent-
ly and to al! intents and purposes solv-
ed the "hot check” question, and at
that in a very novel and unusual man-
ner. That the cause will justify the
means, cannot be questioned, and the
method used in all probability will
have more effect upo lithe artists than
any number of laws and prosecutions.
We quote below from a report in the
Oil Belt News, with the thought that
perhaps Weatherford merchants may
desire to try the remedy:
The “hot check” artiat in Eastland
has been hit a deadly blow. Eastland
merchants who have taken checks of
individuals and have had them re-
turned from the bank marked “insf."
or “acet closed” are starting a cam-
paign of retaliation.
In accordance with a plan worked
out by the secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants Association, bad checks are
being displayed in the windows of the

Camp Stanley, Texas, July 6.
Dear Herald:—I am sure that the
people of Weatherford, especially rel-
atives of the personnel of Battery C
132 Field Artillery, will be glad to
have a report of the activities of our
•battery. When we arrived in Fort
Worth, we met several other batteries!
and were son* out on a special troop
train. We made good time and arriv-
ed in San Antonio about 7 a. m., Thurs-
day, and came on out to Camp Stanley
which is about twenty miles from San
Antonio. We were met at the sta-
tion by *he staff and field officers of
the hist Field Artillery Brigade, of
which Battery C is a part. The men
were marched a short distance to the
barracks where they were comfortab-
ly located.
The first day consisted chiefly in
I drawing equipment and getting locat-
ed in our quarters. Today the men
have pMol practice, and no other du-
ty to speak of.

By Associated Press
Des Moines, July 9.—Governor Al
Smith was called the “Goliath of the
Wets” In the address of R. A. Walker
of Chicago, at the International Chris-
tian Endeavor Convention here today.
“The Wets are the Philistines of
the present day,” said Mr. Walker.
“They have won a temporary victory
and they have selected as their big
blustering champion, the Governor of
New York who is heralded as their
great leader, just as was Goliath, the
defiant champion of the Philistines.
He is challenging the Drys to battle.
The modern Philistines apparently
have things going their way and many
of the Drys are relatively in the same
position as K*ng Saul’s forces, fearful
of results.
“Have we Drys so soon forgotten
that the ‘battle is the Lord’s?’ Are we
standing in fear of the results when
we have God and truth on our side?
Who is there among the wets that can
stand against truth?
“Let ’Goliath’ Smith beware. Some-
where in the ranks of the Drys there
is a David with mighty faith and a
trusty sling. In the sling will be plac-
ed the stony votes that will hit the
Goliath between the eyes—wheher
that Goliath at the next election be
Al Smith or some other champion of
the Wets. Whoever the Goliath of
the modern Philistines may be, he will
be politically dead after election—
possibly after the presidential prima-
ries.
“The Wets are like frogs, they make
a lot of noise but their noise means
nothing.
“Let the mighty Christian Endeavor
host continue In their prayers and
on eloction day use the sling and
stone of their votes to kill the ambi-
tion of the wets to control the nation.
merchants Thursday morning and the
plan is already getting results.
N0 man or woman likes to see his
or her name on a bad check displayed
before the public The public always
pays attention to such a sensation,
and as a result, Mr. Check Writer
gets a lot of publicity.
It is stated that since the checks

For those who are in doubt, it is

APPLICATIONS FOR NEW
BANKS ARE EXPECTED
Austin, Teras, July 9.—Reflecting
Improved financial conditions of Tex-
as, nearly a score of applications for
new hanking institutions are expected
to be received by state officials dur-
ing August, according to State Bank
Commissioner J. L. Chapman.
Applications for new banks will de-
pend to a large extent. It is said, upon
crop yield and prospects. However,
under present conditions it is expect-
ed that the applications will come in
large numlbers. It is known that the
state hanking board has delayed ac-
tion on a number of applications until
August when outcome of the major
crops will bo known.

Austin, Texas, June 30.—Evidence
that the intangible assets system of
taxation is advisable to other sys-
tems including the gross receipt tax
plan, is shown b ythe summary of
valuations of intangible properties for
1923 on rairoads just completed, ac-
cording to tSate Tax Commissioner
John G. Willacy. The report showed
an Increase in imtagible values for
this class during the present year over
1922 of $513,000.
Commissioner Willacy pointed out
that although the receipts of the vari-
ous' railroads for the year decreased
several millions of dollars the intan-
gible values increased. The state will
receive from taxes on intangibles ap-
proximately $600,000 during the com-
ing year, Willacy estimated, while
couties of the state will receive about
increase of about $15,000. The in-
tangible values are arrived at by con-
sidering revenues for a period of five
years.
Two reailroads have been added to
the list of those included in the valu-
ations this year that were not includ-
er last year, It was stated. They are:
at $80,000 and the Wichita Valley
Southern roalroad, valued at $75,000.
One bride company at Laredo is not
inclueded because the bridge was de-
stroyed by fire.
Poor Richard Said
—“A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED.” In his
day, pennies were as large as our quarters. Yet all the
pennies in the world wouldn’t have taken Poor Richard to
a movie, bought him a flivver, or paid his street car fare.
The pennies of a hundred years ago were not as big in buy-
ing power as those of today.
—BUT POOR RICHARD ’S ADVICE IS STILL GOOD. And
it is no less vauable when applied to dollars instead of
cents.
—EVERY YEAR you spend a large proportion of the money
you earn. So much for clothing. So much for shoes. So
much for things to eat, house furnishings, garden seeds,
tools and what not.
—THERE’S JUST ONE WAY to save money in making
your purchases. Know what you want before you buy.
READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS.
—THEY TELL YOU what is new and good. They tell you
where and when to buy to best advantage. They help
keep you posted on what the stores and manufacturers
are offering.
