Wheat Grower Count
Chickens That Do Not
Hatch and Sell Them
College Station June 8. It's
not a matter of counting chick-
ens before they hatch but at
least 143 Wheat growers in Tex-
as this year have harvest;!
wheat before harvest.
Even more odd is the fact that
these growers all had crop fail-
ures. Reasons for this novel state
of affairs is federal wheat crop
insurance wihich has been on
the proving ground only since
last summer and which already
has proved itself worth the mon-
ey in 22 counties
Charles L. Thomas of Pampa
whdat grower and member of
the Texas Agricultural Conser-
vation Committee which dmin-
isters crop insurance along with
other phases of the AAA pro-
gram disclosed" here last week
that 82629 bushels of wheat
worth $14817.57 when convert-
ed! to cash has been certified
for payment in Texas to settle
claims on insured wheat crops
planted for harvest this sum-
mer but already damaged beyond
recovery.

Little History
Georgetown June 8. In
1876 when Round Rock was' a
tent city and the I&GN tromius
was being built Captain J. S.
C. iMorrow son-in-law of General
Sam Houston moved his mer
cantile store from the north side
of the square in Georgetown to
Round Rock.
But let J. E. Cooper veteran
newspaper man banker and
churchman who perhaps has
more historical data stored in his
mind thtn any of the old. pio
neers tell the story in his own
words :
"I was clerkinc for Captain
Morrow at the time and was
sent with the first wagon load
of goods. Captain Morrow gve
me an old cap and ball six shoot-
er like this one" and Mr. Coop
er displayed an old cap and ball
Remington six-shooter 45 cal-
iber and eight-inoh barrel
which had been picked up on the
Texas Plains supposedly lost by
a Ranger and sent to Mr. Coop
er's son Edgar L. Cooper writer
of western fiction.
Mr.. Cooper continued: "I
was afraid to sleep much that
night and along in the early
morning hours two rough look-
ing fellows circled around and
kept coming closer. I sat up
and laid the six shooter across
my knees and when they got
close enough to see it they
dunk away.
"When we had all the goods
moved Sam W. Henderson late
merchant of Georgetown who
was clerking for Captain Mor
row too joined! me and we slept
on pallets on the floor of the
store. There was a crew of Ir
ish section hands sent in to
work on the railroad terminus
and they fought for three weeks.
"At night Sam and I would
nile uo sacks of salt around our
pallets to stop any stray bul
lets That might whizz past.
Those section hands were the
only men I ever saw that would
knock a man down pick him wj
and knock him down again.
"Later while a residence was
being erected in which the iMor-
row family Temple Houston
son of General Sam Houston
Sam Henderson and I were to
live Sam and I occupied a tent
near the store. One night a bad
man from Austin rode out rode
his horse into a tent saloon un-
der a liveoak tree about where
the old broom factory now
stands an'df shot out the lights
and shot holes in the whiskoy
barrels. With all of this law

tent flap with a heavy club and
told him to mow down the in
truder whom I would go in and
flush. I went inside and found
the visitor to be a big yearling
calf which made a quick dash
for the door. I began yelling
to Sam:
" 'Don't hit him don't hit
him.' The reason was the yearl-

J BIRTHDAY
ON JUNE 8 the Bartlett Municipal Light Plant cele-
brated its fifth birthday and marked the close of five
years of efficient service twenty-four hours each day.
During this five years of successful operation Bartlett
citizens have been unusually loyal to the plant. It has
never failed to show an increase in gross receipts over the
same month of the preceding year.
Due to the splendid cooperation and support of Bart-
lett citizens payments on the Light Plant have been made
on all due dates. These have amounted to $48000. All
expenses have been met and a surplus remains in cash in
oil and other materials on hand.
Many thousands of dollars have been paid out in sal-
aries since the Municipal Light Plant began operation. Is
it not better that this money was paid to Bartlett citizens
and spent with people of this community instead of going
'out of town to other sections of the country?
Let us keep constantly before u&.the goal of a tax-free
town which may be achieved by patronizing the home
plant.
