The landing of the State Prasbyterian
Orphanage for Weatherford would be
a mighty good way for the Chamber of
Commerce to start the year 1922. This
home will bring to the city an insti-
tution which will be permanent and
one that would grow from year to year,
and in the course of a few years would
be an institution which the entire
state could point to with pride. While
it is true it would cost the citizenship
a few thousand dollars for the site,
that much money and more would be
spent in the city during the first few
months after the building of the home
was started,
i It has been authoritatively stated
that the initial buildings and equipment
would cost around $150,000, and the
several firms of the city, as well as
the mechanics and laborers, would
have opportunity to participate in the
contracts necessary for the construc-
tion and equipping the plant.
It is not the “here today and some-
where else tomorrow” Institutions that

there was no branch of the fed era*
government especially charged with
the consideration of fishery affairs.
Several of the states had established
fish commissions and these state au-
thorities, supported by private inter-
ests, began to agitate for a national
bureau devoted to fishery Interests.
So It came about that by 1871 con-
gress was ready to yield and begin to
make appropriations. The first one
was for $0,000 and provided for a
commissioner of fish and fisheries to
prosecute Investigations and inquiries

Austin, Texas, Jan. 9.—In advis
ing the diversification of crops, Geo
B Terrell, state commissioner of
agriculture today said that the farm
er should raise all necessary sup.
plies on the farm and not increase
his acreage in cotton this year, as
an 8,000,000 bale crop will bring
more money than a 16,000,000 bale
crop.
"The president of the United
States, governors of various states,
bankers and other public officials
have given out New Year statements
commenting on business conditions
giving reasons for the present busi-
ness depression and predicting a re
turn of prosperity in the near fu-
ture,” said Commissioner Terrell
“Their comments are interesting, but
not all instructive.
"Secretary of agriculture, H. C
Wallace, makes the most sensible
suggestions as to the real cause of
depression He says in part:
"Lack of buying power by the
American farmer, is perhaps, the
greatest single factor behind ihe
present stagnant industrial and busi-
ness situation. The farmer is today

any and what protective, prohibitory
or precautionary measures should be
adopted in the premises; and shall re-
port upon the same to congress.”
The commissioner was to draw no
pay, for it was provided by congress
in the same joint resolution that he
should be a civil officer of the govern-
ment, of proved scientific and prac-
tical acquaintance with the fishes of
the coast, who should serve without
additional compensation. The then as-
sistant secretary of the Smithsonian in-
stitution, by name Spencer Fullerton
Baird, was chosen as the best man for
the Job, and so he proved to he. He
made the little acorn grow. He was
industrious and competent and knew
how to get along with congress. He
was diligent and he stood before kings.
See what happened. *
Remember, he started out with
$5,000 to discover whether there had
been any diminution of the supply of
food fishes along the coasts or in the
lakes. He was at the head of an In-
dependent investigation and reported
directly to congress. The thing was
kept alive by annual appropriations
as an independent institution until
1903, when it was incorporated into
the newly formed Department of Com-
merce and Labor as the bureau of
fisheries.
By 1906 tlie annual appropriation had
grown to $803,920, and the bureau had
a permanent personnel of 825. At
that time the land owned and occupied
by the bureau at ltq fish culturui and
biological stations had an aggregate
area of over 12,000 acres, with a value
of $240,000. The Improvements and
equipment at these stations repre-
sented an Investment of more than
$1,000,000. Other property of tlie bu-
reau at that time included four sea-
going steam and sail vessels, 20 steam
launches and 150 small sail, power and
rowboats, which with equipment had
a value of $300,000. Its six fish-trans-
portation cars were valued at $45,000.
Indeed, the tolul investment of the
government in fishery-service property
ran to about $1,585,000. That was
hack in 1909.
Well, it hasn't stopped growing;
bigger and busier than ever, as tlie ad-
vertisements say. The appropriation by
congress for the fiscal year 1919 was
*1.183,140, and for 1921, $1,207,110.
Besides what congress gave, the Pres-
ident allotted in 1918 and 1919, out of
his privnte fund “fgr the national se-
curity and defense," $160,OtX). With the
yeark of Its growth and increasing
funds the bureau had taken on many
new functions and activities.
Until recently the bureau was ad-
ministering to the best of its ability
the lsws relating to the terrestrial and
arboreal fur bearers of Alaska, but
the doty was incongruous to its legiti-
mate functions. Congress finally con-
ceded that the pursuit of foxes does
not constitute a fishery. The cultiva-
tion of minks cannot be successfully
conducted In a fish hatchery.
Apparently, as so many other estab-
lishments under the executive branch
have, the fisheries service had become
all cluttered np with duties and jobs
It Is not fitted or equipped to handle.
All of which is a long, long way
from an Investigation of the possible
diminution of food fish along the coast.
I don’t pretend to say of the fisheries
bureau that it has performed ineffi-
ciently either its proper work or the
added activities that have been im-
posed upon it. For all I know it
may be'and is a great national bless-
ing, and managed with maximum skill,
intelligence and rea! economy. I hope
It is.
I I cite it here only as an example of

“Secretary Wallace covers the sit
uation in a nutshell. When it is
remembered that nearly 40 per cenl
of 40,000,000 of the people of the
United Stales are dependent fo'
" livelihood upon farms, ranches and
allied occupations and that these 40..
000,000 of people are consumers oi
o'her. products it can readily be seen
what disastrous effects It will have
neon all business industries when
l hoi:- purchasing power is reduced
from 100 per cent to 38 per cent.
“The price of cotton and wheat,
no two great money crops of the
nation, declined enough to cause a
loss of $50,000,000 to the American
farmers They will not always stand
for this robbery. Production win
not keep pace with consumption un-
der Buch conditions.
“If tbe captains of industry would
revive business and Increase produc-
tion In all lines, they must pay the
American farmer a profitable price
for his products. The farmers desire
no political or educational advisors
to make them produce sufficient
crops to feed and clothe the nation
if those who control prices win only
pay them a reasonable profit on
their labor and investment.
"Necessity will compel the farmer
to curtail production, until his pur-
chasing power is increased by bet
ter prices.”

the value of the machine as a weevil
destroyer, but permits the manufac-
ture of and the retail selling at a
price almost half of the price that
would have had to be charged for
the machine originally constructed
The machine which ib now being as

to exceed $100, and has a number
of Improvements over the one dem-
onstrated in and near Weatherford
several weeks ago. A representative
of the Continental Gin Compay of
Dallas, has conferred with Mr. Owens
and examined the plans of the new
machine, and is very favorably im-
pressed with the outline. This com
pany is vitally Interested in every
thing that might be of benefit in
producing a cotton crop, as their
industrial activities In the manufac-
ture of cotton gins, depends altogeth-

Owens intimated that the Continental
people will manufacture the machine
in quantities, as soon as the model
is completed and perfected, which
will be in the immediate future.

CUSTER’S CROW SCOUTS—
There were six of them, these war- j
riors of the Crow or Absaroke nation, '
who rode with Custer on his last [
march down the Little Big Horn river i
in Montana that day In June, 1876. j
When the leader of the Seventh caval- [
ry asked General Terry for his best |
Crow scouts In the camp on the Little J
Rosebud creek, Terry told him he !
could have Curley, "White Man Runs |
Him," Hairy Moccusin, “Goes Abend,” ) •
Vellow Face and White Swan. The I
Crows were glad to serve with tbe 11
famous Indian fighter and they guided
him until they located the hostile camp I ’
on the Little Big Horn. i “
When Custer divided his command
to atruck the village, Yellow Face and
White Swan were sent with Major
Reno and Custer kept “White Man
Runs Him,” Curly, ‘'Goes Ahead” and
Hairy Moccasin with him. Yellow
Face was killed while fighting with
Reno, and White Swan was badly
wounded, blit finally recovered and
lived until 1905.
Today Curley Is the only survivor
of the Custer Crow scouts and, ac-
cording to Ills story, he ’Is tlie last
man who saw his commander alive.
After crossing Bie ridge, Custer
turned to “White Man Runs Him,”
Hairy Moccasin and “Goes Ahead,’’
and said to them: "You have done
your duty. You have led me to the
enemy. My soldiers will do the fight-
ing. You are to go now and save
your lives.’’ The scouts left him and
made their way to the pack train un-
der Capt. Tom McDougall.
When Curley returned from Reno's
position, lie was given the same or-
der. He sturted anti soon found him-
self in tli» midst of a hot tight Find-
ing a dead Sioux warrior, he took his
horse, gun and blanket. Wrapping
the blanket about his head to conceal
his Crow scnlplock from the Sioux,
Curley sucecded In reaching g high
butte. Looking back be saw that
Custer had charged down upon the
Indians and was surrounded. Curley
says that lie watched tbe battle until
lie saw Custer, who was the last man
standing, full and then he rode uwuy.
The next morning the Crow scout
appeared in General Terry's enmp.
He could not siieak English and there
was no interpret tv. Curley took
biades of grass, piled them all In a
heap- and then, exclaiming "Pouf!
Pouf!” In Imitation of the sound of
a gun, scattered them wide apart. By
means of tlil^ he made tbe officer un-
