The bonds, as {minted out by Silas
Hare of this City, at Saturday's meet-
ing. are one of the best m. investments
jmssMde to make. They bear interest
at the'rate of &% i>er cent tier annum,
are fffe from every kind of taxation,
are reliable, useful and stable, because
money ran Ik* borrowed on them at any

sued at a higher rnto of interest, tin*
first Issue will automatically bear the
same rate of Merest as the last issue.
The l**ids are issued In denominations
as hiw aa $50.
Mr. Hare pointed out that while a
bond Issue of $7,000,000 seemed a huge
amount, that ft was only a fraction
of the wealth of the United States,
which is estimated at 220 billion* of
dollars with the present bonded indebt-
edness at $1,200,0004)00 und would
call into use millions of dollars n<nv

Judge Gordon Russell Speaks.
The meeting of the Grayson Coun-
ty Formers' Institute set for the same
time as the Liberty Loan meeting, gave
way to the latter. Judge Gordon Rus-
sell of the United States District
Court, Eastern District of Texas, who
was to Rpenk tit the farmers’ meeting,
consented to deliver his address at the
union meeting aiul spoke on the seri-
ous war situation, amt the imjwHJUiee
of every American citizen standing lie-
hind the president.
Wit limit a doubt. Judge Russel's talk
was otaeof the most momentous ever
delivered hi Grayson county. It was
literally a eitil to arms, an exhorta-
tion for the American {>eople to wake
Up to the seriousness of the-situation
which confronts them and to make
ready to sacrifice both their money
and their blood for the preservation
of democracy. For this purpose. Judge

REGENTS OF UNIVERSITY
OF TEXAS CALLED BY
GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
Austin, Texas, May 2S.—It was
learned Saturday that Governor Fer-
guson had called a meeting of the
board of regents of the University of
Texas, to Ik* held lit his private office
today. Telegrams were sent to mem-
bers of the board suiting that the mat-
ter demanding their attention was
“one of utmost ami grave im|mrtnnee."
It is understood that the inMiug will
lie executive, ami that President Vin-
cent of the University lias not l>een
been invited to attend.
‘ The calling of tin* meeting of the
board of ri-gents was not given to the
press and those Interested In the mat-
ter were reluctant in giving out in-
formation. Members of the hoard pro-
fess Ignorance of the ‘‘important” mat-
ter to be placed liefore them, but it
was learned on good authority ttmt
several members, of the faculty of tin*
University will Ik* discussed and their
dismissal demanded by the governor.
It. Is said that the mcndiers of the
faculty disapproved by the governor
are Dr. Robere K. Vinson, president of
the university; Prof. R. K. Cofer, lnw
department; .1. A. Lomax, secretary of
the faculty; Prof. W. H. Mayes, de-
partment of journalism, and Dr. A. O,
Ellis, professor of philosophy of educa-
tion.
startling picture as drawn by Judge
Russell, and built upon numerous facts
which the si**aker made allusions to.
For the German-Ameriean citizen
who stood liehlnd the president and the
flag that had given him freedom.
Judge Bussell had nothing hut the
highest respect. It was treason for a
citizen of the United States of German
descent to retain a loyalty and an al-
legiance to a foreign emperor.
Judge Russell said that Jhere were
three paramount duties confronting
Russell traced the well known history every American citizen. They were.
of the world war, ns it has been termed
showing liowr the ambition of the Ger-
man Kaiser and his millions of sub-
jects had set the whole civilized world
at war. had broken treaties and had
violated tlie rights of neutrals, had
murdered non eonbntants and had
planked the conquest of the new as
well as the old world. It wa» a
first, to stand behind the president,
and second, to stand behind the presi-
dent, and third to stand behind the
president American mothers and
fathers must make ready to repay with
the blood of their sons the debt we owe
to France and to uphold the principals
of democracy and freedom tieqncatlied

Damage Reported in Collin County.
Nevada, Collin On.. Tex., May 28—
One of the most destructive rain and
windstorms that ever visited this lo-
cality passed one mile north of here at
6:30 o’clock Saturday evening, taking
nearly every burn and outhouse in it*
path.
A farmhouse on the J. E. Davis
farm, one and one-half mites north-
east of town, occupied by W. H. Lay
and family of ten, was wrecked. No
one was hurt, except a daughter, who
had a splinter driven through
lower lxirt of her arm.
A large: farmhouse tielonging to J.
M. Gay. on the farm known as the
Richard Evans place, wus destroyed.
No one was hurt. The home of W.' G.
Allen, two miles northwest of here,
was wrecked. Mrs. Allen sustained
painful wounds. Every house and barn
in the strip two miles in Width and
four miles long was liadly damaged.
Damage Near McKinney.
McKiney, Tex.. May 28—Four inch-
es of rain fell liere Saturday night,-ac-
companied hy a heavy hall and wind-
storm which did great damage to
ero{s in this country. J. it. Sports-
man. if ho lives a few miles west of
McKinney, states that his loss in grain
is more than $2,000, and .L A. Atkin-
son, who hud 280 acres of fine wheat
west of McKinney, stntes that it was
almost ruined. Corn, cotton und gar-
dens were badly damaged, and some
cottoh will have to lie replanted.
From reports received here the
heaviest damage was In a strip just
west of McKinney. The Methodist
church at Allen was wrecked and a
number of other buildings over the
county were destroyed or damaged.
Rain, Hind and Hail at Royse City.
Royse City, Tex.. May 28—This sec-
tion of the comity was visited Satur-
day night hy one of the hardest storms
in years. Tlie rain, wind and hall, ac-
companied by a severe electric storm,
lasted during the whole night. Sabine
Creek, about one mile east of thia
place, is running fully a mile wide,
which indicates a rain to the north
bordering on a water spout,
Reports from neighboring towns are
to the effect that they- have also ' suf-
fered more than at this immediate
point. Numerous barns and outhous-
es have been demolished, the worst so
far reported being that of Rufus
Smith, two miles west, who, in addi-
tion to the loss of his barn, had one
horse killed ami another crippled.
* Hail Damages Denton Crops.
Denton, Tex., May 28—Many tele-
phone lines are down and rejsirts are
incomplete, but information at hand
indicates that the heavy hailstorm of
Saturday afternoon extended only a
few miles each way from Denton. Cot-
ton. com and wheat were liadly dam-
aged and much cotton probably will
have to lie replanted. Thick gardens,
orchards and berry fields in and near
the city were almost ruined. There
was some minor damnge to hutldings
here. v j
Hailstones Kill Chickens.

ually sultry morning was followed Sat-
urday afternoon hy a terrific rain and
hallstojm. which extended from the
north city limits ns far as 'fhacker-
vilie, Ok., and about twenty miles
northesast of Gainesville, up the Red
River iiend. No rain fell in Gaines-
ville. Hailstones, which some farmers
claim weighed at least half a pound,
killed many chickens and pigs and
(wrought havoc to maturing fruit and
berries.

Some of the Details,
associated Pm* Dispute*]
Memphis, Tenn., May 28.—With the
dead already counted In scores and the
injured at more than n hundred, re-
(nirts were awaited today from innum-
erable hamlets and remote settlements
in the {iath of the storm to reveal the
extent, of the toll in lives and projierty
taken by tornadoes which tore their
way through half a dozen counties in
northwestern Tennessee, southwestern
Kentucky, eastern Arkansas and min-
ing towns in the vicinity of Birming-
ham. Ala., yesterday and last night.
Reports early today estimated the
number of dend in the vicinity of Hick-
man, Ky., at approximately 40; in
Mississippi county Arkansas fifteen
were killed ; twelve were reported dead
at Sayre, Ala.; six were killed in the
vicinity of Dyershurg, Tenn.; Six at
Cates Landing, near TiptonvlUe, Teyn.;
two at the village of Baker, near An-
tioch, Tenn., and two at Sharon, Tenn.
Within n radius of twelve miles of
Hickman, where the storm apparently
wrought its greatest havoc more than
two scores of injured have been re-
covered from the’wrecked farm dwell-
ings and the more substantial buildings
in the towns of Bondurant, Bardwell,
Clinton, and Ledford. Near Cates
Landing the number injured was re-
ported as between 25 and 30; in the
central part of Dyer county near Dy-
ersburg about 30 were injured and
Sharon 32 injured. Latest reports
from Sayre estimate the number in-
jured at fifty or more.
No estimate, of the damage to prop-
erty or to crops could be made with
accuracy early today. Hundreds of
buildings were demolished, however,
or liadly wrecked and large areas of
growing cotton and food crops leveled
by the wind, and heavy fall of hail
which accompanied the storm.
RejKirts indicate that, the storm first
made its ap{iearance on the Arkansas
side of the Mississippi river in Mississ-
ippi county near the town of Mnnila,
tho'/'where eight persons lost their lives.
Crossing the river Cates Lauding, Dy-
ersburg and the territory about Hick-
man felt the full force of the storm
late yesterday and last night the min-
ing town of Suyre, several Hundred
miles to tlie south was swept by a
tornado.
lu Hickman a number of residences
were damaged and’ in West Hickman
the iwwer plant which supplies the
city with light was wrecked putting
that city lu- darkness last night and j
adding to the eonfuslon beslres mak-|
were being held, were demolished. In
South Dyershurg the storm cut a path
a half mile in width and a mile long
and in the urea swept not a house was
Intact.
Available ambulances in Dyershurg
were in adequate to romevoe the in-
jured to hospitals and business trucks
were impressed into service. Among the
buildings wrecked near Dyershurg was
an historic ante-bellum residence
known as the Parker home.
At Sharon thirty-five buildings were
torn from the foundations and badly
damaged.
Ftre started in the negro section of
the town in the wake of the storm but
was extinguished before it gained
headway. Of the Injured at Sharon
three are believed to be fatally hurt.
AH of those killed at Cates. Landing
were negroes while virtually all of
the known injured in that section were
white persons. Several of the injur-
ed were reported In a crltcial condi-
tion today.
Other towns in Tennessee which
suffered minor damage included Troy
and Newbern. #
Rescue parties began a systematic
search of the storm swept areas at
ilaybrenk today and it was believed
that before nightfall virtually all of
the more remote sections will have
been visited. Wire communication,
to a number of points still was In-
terrupted early today but with large
forces of linemen and railroad em-
ployes at work repairing tlie broken
wires, communication gradually was
lieing restored.

The 11 o’clock hour at East, Sherman
Baptist church was profitably spent in
Studying the 15tli chapter of St. John's
gospel. Our pastor, Rev. E. A. How-
ard. preached one of the best sermons
from! the text, “I am the vine, ye are
the branches.” Some great, truths
were spoken and if rightly heeded
(much good will some from the sermon.
“You can tPtl if a mail is abiding in
Christ by the life Ira lives.” Not the
life in the church atone, but the life
lived in the business circles and every
day affairs.
Christ is the vine and we are the
branches. If we are rightly joined to
him by our repentance, faith and ac-
ceptan eeof Him as our Saviour. No
true braueh can live apart, from the
vine, and no true Christian can live
apart from Christian. The duty-of
the vine's branches is to bear fruit,

injured reported from Dye county were
residents of the village.
In Dyershurg proper four residents
and a negro church, in which services
The night services were well attend-
ed and the pastor preached to a pack-
ed house. The text was Eph. 6 and a
good sermon was‘brought to us upon
tlie growth in the church and God’s
kingdom. Life was magnified and the
great giver of life was glorified. Eight
Iiersons were received into the church,
one through baptism. God surely is
