E. W. Kirkpatrick of McKinney is
quoted as having said that Texas can
produce foodstuffs enough to feed
the world. There are thousands of
acres In Texas not in cultivation, and
other thousands of acres that are not
well cultivated. With the land filled
with farmers, and the adoption of In-
tensive and scientific measures, the
amount of farm products could be
greatly Increased.

The villages of Galicia are especial-
ly interesting on Sundays and holi-
days, when ths national costumes are
donned.
Tbe cottages are generally made of
stone or board plastered over and are
then covered with a coat of whitewash
The straw roof Is frequently crowned
with green growing moss, which adds
to its picturesque appearance if not to
its healthfulness. Water is drawn
from the wells by a long pole balanced
near the center. These wells have a
decided old world appearance.
The interior of the cottages la usual-
ly divided into two rooms. In one
room the entire family lives, eats and
sleeps; In the other. In more or less
harmonious contentment, dwell tbe
cows, pigs, chickens and geese. -No
household would be complete without
a number of geese.
Around the cottages a number of chil-
dren are sure to be seen playing. A
dozen or twenty or thirty of such cot-
tages, each separated only by a small
yard, make up a village. If there Is a
marriageable daughter in tbe house
tbe lintel of tbe door and tbe window
surroundings are ornamented with lit-
tle irregmar bands, which Is a notice
to the marriageable young men.—Chris

Mr. Rowan Mills, I’res.
Red River Valley Fair,
Sherman, Texas,
My Dear Mr. Mills:
Your bullet hi of the 21st to hand. I
am Indeed very glad to note that your
Chamber of Commerce Is right down
to the minute In Its Ideas of work.
The one thing of all others that
would make nie sit right down and
answer your questions “RIGHT
NOW" Is that you seem to have caught
fore. This was in 1910 when ‘ the
writer came to Macon and got busy.
They asked me to tell them what was
the matter, and I did It very quickly.
We got busy and they gave mo a
free hand anil I began to boost it to
the sky with printers Ink. We Re-
runs! some real attractions nnd they
• jeost big money. That year they
fol-; closed the fair with every debt paid
tin full and $10,300.00 to place in the
| hank.
From that time until the time I left
Macon as Secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, they made bigger and
hlgger money each year, until last
year they had $25,000.00 la hank.
They give $(5,500.00 in premiums and
dont get a cent of State Aid.
If then* an* any military camps
near your city, try and get at least
one company or more located on the
fair grounds during the dates of your
fair as the guests of the fair inanage-
England's First Paper Monty Was la*
sued by tha Goldsmitha.
With the almost entire use of papet
currency at the present time the his-
tory of its origin may not l>e unlnter-
1 esting. In the days of the Stuarts mer-
chants used to lodge their3reservei of
gold In the Tower, and when one day
Charles I., in a thoughtless moment,
annexed a large sum lodged In that
way and forgot to put it back tbe
merchants decided that henceforth
they would put no more trust In ,
princes, hut would look to the gold- j
smiths.
! The goldsmitha thereby became the -
' first hankers, and the first goldsmith
who hit upon the novel idea of giving
a note, hot only to the person who
deposited gold, but also to the person j
| who came to borrow, founded modem
hanking with an original deposit of
£5,900,
The banker gave promise to pay up
to, say, £25,000, and as long as there
was no Immediate demand on the part
of the persons holding these promises
to pay to have that promise converted
Into cash business proceeded merrily,
but necessarily there was a limit be-
yond which it was not safe to do this
kind of business, and It was always
possible that something unforeseen
might happen that would bring au un-
usual number of notes for presentation.
As a matter of fact, this did happen
frequently In the early days, and final-
ly the government stepped In and grant-
ed the almost entire monopoly of Issu-
ing notes to the Bank of England.—

Your Battery
a Cool Drink
Mr
Your battery gets as thirsty as you do this hot weather—and it
doesn’t take long to make a thirsty battery a dead one.
Fill it with distilled water once a week—as often as you take a
hydrometer test.
If you haven’t pure water, or don’t want the trouble of filling your
battery yourself—we’ll do it for you.
Willard Service is good for any battery—whether it gives it a
thorough overhauling, or merely fills and tests it. And if your battery
needs repairs it provides a rental battery for your use whatever the
make or model of your car.
Drop in next time you’re down this way—and if you haven’t one
already—get a Willard Service Card that entitles you to free semi-
monthly testing. ^
