ate aa much beat aa does corn
or other feeds of a like nature.
The day is not far off when the
Seed crops that are raised in this
country will come into their own
and have the same commercial
standing as all other feeds. The
people of the east will soon be con-
vinced that it is muck better to
buy the feed that is raised here
in preference to corn and oats,
especially when there is so much
difference in the price.
lunao cotton over
Quite a Sew of the farmers of
this county are having to replant
their cotton this week on aecount
of the heavy rains and hails that
we had last week. Some of the
farmers say their entire cotton
crop was destroyed. The corn was
damaged but little so far as we
can hear. It seems to have stood
the weather all right and is com-
ing out again. It is likely that
none of that crop will have to be
ro-planted.
In some parts of the county re-
ports are to the effect that the
wheat and oat crop is damaged
considerable. Some of the farm-
ers arc of the. opinion that they
will not get to cut their wheat
crop this year. Others say the
crop is damaged to some extent,
lmt not enough to keep them from
gathering a good yield.
There were not many places that
were visited by the hail storms.
It is only those places where they
had hail that the wheat and oat
crop ia damaged. In all other
communities a big crop willbe
raised.
WIND STORM AT CHILDRESS
ute and the executioner said that
it was 1,850 volts and ten amperes
in strength. It came while Becker
was still commending his soul to
his maker.
The two prison physicians step-
ped forward to examine the col-
lapsed figure that sat supported in
the death chair by the thick leath-
er strap. The sethoscope was ap-
plied to the heart and Dr. Charles
b arr, the prison physician, pressed
nis finger against the artery in the
neck. There was still a feeble
fluttering in the heart.
Immediately the physician step-

not yet decided thoroughly on the
matter, but it is expected that
this work will be done before the
fall months come round.
There is nothing that is more
badly needed. At this time there
is not a vacant business house in
the city, and if the crops are as
good this fall as the indications
are at this time a building eould
not be secured for any price.
CITY CUTTING WEED8
The eity has had a delegation
of men and boys out for the past
week cutting weeds along the
streets and alleyways. They have
been making a good showing in
some parts of the city, whieh helps
the looks of things wonderfully.
If caeh property owner will fol-
low this example up by cutting
the weeds on his lot and around
his home, it will not be but a
short time until we will have one
of the cleanest little cities to be
found anywhere.
LOCAL SHOWERS
Cottle county has been receiv-
ing her part of the local showers
of late. There is scarcely a day
but what showers fall in some part
of the connty, and sometimes it
is a regular downpour. There has
been entirely too much rain of
late for the benefit of the farmers,
as many of them are behind with
their wark and are unable to catch
up. Some of them have been only
averaging about two days’ work
in the fields each week, for the past
two months.
But plenty of rain at this time
of year means bumper crops for
the county, so we ought not kick
at the amount we are receiving.
Without the rain we eould expect
nothing but light crops.
If the present conditions keep
up there will be more cotton and
feed stuff raised here than can he
gathered. Last year will not be
a comparison. It will take all the
negroes in East Texas to do jus-
tice to the situation at gathering
time.

down and continued until late in
the night. There were a few pla-
ces in the eounty that were need-
ing a little rain, but for the most
part this extra amount of moist-
ure was unwelcomed by the farm-
ers.
We understand that in some pla-
ees there was hail and a good deal
of wind, doing considerable dam-
age to the cotton crop and the
young feed. This was only in
spots, however, and did not cover
the entire eonnty.
The worst of the hail storm was

It being reported that the crops
were badly damaged and lots of
window lights to dwellings, barns
and oehoolhpuses being broken.

LOBE WAGON IN RIVER
The Logan boys, who started
to move to' Crowell last Saturday,
suffered the loss of their wagon
and household goods while try-
ing to croslf the Little Wichita
in the south part of the county.
They drove into the river and
when about half way1 across a
big headrise came down, cover-
ing the wagon and sending it down
1 the stream. They were unable to
save any of the household goods
in the wagon, the team being the
only thing that was rescued.

gerous stream when up, and to be

Receives Letter From Belgium
Queen
Prof. Jack Smart, teacher of
the Green Valley school, has re-
cently been honored with a letter
from the Queen of Belgium. It
came as a response to a line of
verse that Jack had sent th<i
queen, expressing his sympathy
for the Belgium people and for
that little kingdon.
Jack thinks a great deal of the
letter, but there is one thing that
bothers him more than any other
just now—he is very anxious to
know what the letter contains.
GOOD ROADS
Under the able supervision of
Postmaster General Burleson the
postal department of the general
government has made great pro-
gress during the past two years,
for the first time in over a quar-
ter of a century that branch of the
government has not only been
made self sustaining, but it being
conducted at a nice profit to the
government. The Postmaster Gen-
eral, however, is still not satisfied
but has plans which he hopes to
put into effect by July 1st of this
year, by which facilities for sup-
plying 1,000,000 people with quick
mail service not now enjoying that
convenience. Under the new plan
contemplated motor vehicles will
be placed into service where the
highways will permit. This will
encourage the building of good
roads, and the counties that have
voted good road improvement
bonds will most likely be the first
to have motor car mail service on
their rural routes—Wichita
Times.

The attention of offitteadily to the
ington is now anxiousl.. Jm*. few can
to the probable contents of the -
German reply. It is realized that
this government’s, action in now
irrevocable and has committed the
United States before the world.
There are well assured indications
that Germany will by no means
fully meet the wishes of the
proposal expected from Germany
is a renewal of the one that the
United States bring about an ab-
andonment of the German sub-
marine program by inducing
Great Britain to give up her
attempt to keep food out of Ger-
many. But unless the spirit of
the administration changes, it will
not entertain the expected Ger-
mans to do this unless England
to give up her contraband policy
respecting Germany.
On the other hand, Germany
may attempt to separate the Pyre
and other cases from the Lusitania
incident and suggest international
arbitration. Opinion is growing
stronger here in Washing,, ,1.^
this government fa" opposed to tlu
settlement by the Hague Tribun-
al of the grave issues presented bjr
the President’s note. Documen-
tary evidence seems tc indicate
that a proposition for arbitration—
would be objected to, although
there is also the opinion that, to
be copgjptent, Secretary Bryan
would have to urge adoption of
the principles of the so-called Biy-
an treaties, which looks to general
arbitration. It is known that Ger-
many favors arbitration front

government.
Rural residence in the United
States who desire to use the post-
office as their bank may now do
so. The Postoffiee Department haa
just issued a statement which ex-
plains a method whereby farmers
and other people residing in com-
munities which have no postal sav-
ings system may bank their money
in perfect safety. All that is re-
quired under this latest plan is
that the individual go to his near-
est postoffiee, tell the postmaster
that he desires to place his money
with the postal bank, secure iden-
tification cards, and then send his
savings, either by money order
