CHEESE FACTORY AT
HAMILTON COMPLETED
Hamilton, May 9.—Charles Eck,
proprietor of the Hamilton Ice and
Cold Storage Company, announces the
completion of his $20,000 cheese fac-
tory here. The factory has a capacity
of 30,000 gallons of sweet milk per
day, with abundant cold storage to
take care of all products manufac-
tured.
A public meeting of farmeres and
their wives is called for Saturday af-
ternoon when Eck will give instruc-
tions about caring for the milk and
marketing it for the purpose of
cheese-making.
Quite a number of Clifton people
were in Valley Mills Monday to at-
tend the Mg trades day and enjoy the
program.
That
Sunday
rain of Saturday night and
amounting to one inch,
seemed to he just about what our
fanner friends were wanting on their
growing crop*.
Our carpenters, painters, plumbers
and others who care to work do not
need to leave home now, and it is
hoped that these conditions will con-
tinue to prevail in Clifton.
We hardly believe there is enother
town In Texas the size of Clifton, at
this time enjoying as much building
repair work as our town it. It
that almost the entire town has
led to undergo some kind of re-
or Improvement, which is fine.

In a communication to several Clif-

a long-time Clifton citizen, who now
lives at Jacksonville, Flordia, says he
and Mrs. Davidson are both enjoying
better health now than they have for
some time, which is good news to
their many friends here as the condi-
tion of his health was the main cause
of their leaving Clifton.
In keeping with the movement of
the Farmers State Bank to improve
the livestock in Bosque county by
helping the farmers get pure bred
sires, A. C. Brandes was in Tom Green
and Irion counties last week where he
selected a tru<?k load of registered
Rambouillet rams which were distrib-
uted among the sheep raisers in Clif-
ton trade territory at a cost of $40
per head. The people that got these
rams are very highly pleased at the
exceptionally high quality rams re-
ceived. This is a move in the right
direction as people can not be too
careful in the selection of a sire, and
by no means should they use any-
thing except a pure bred. Those that
may be interested in getting one or
more of these rams may do well to
a nice rum Sunday, due m Mr. Brandes as he is now taking

PRESIDENTS SOON TO
PAY INCOME TAX
Washington.—Presidents of the
United States elected hereafter will
be required to pay income taxes un-
der an-amendment to the tax reduc-
tion bill approved recently by the sen-
ate. The amendment was sponsored
without a record vote.
Under the provision the term “gross
income” would apply to gains, profits
and income derived from salaries,
wages or compensation, “including the
case of any President of the United
States taking office after the enact-
ment of this act, the compensation
received as such.”
President Coolidge has not been re-
quired to pay and refunds were made
to both President Wilson and Presi-
dent Harding on the basis of a Su-
preme Court decision in a esse apply-
ing to income taxes of Federal judges.
The court in a decision handed down
in 1920 held that collection of taxes -u.
from a federal judge would be a vio- f. ..
lation of the constitutional provision w g * or ,
that their compensation “shall not be running a service
diminished during their continuance in
office.” The internal revenue commis-
sioner applied the same ruling to the
President.
RECENT COLD WEATHER
AND BOLL WEEVILS
Here is a little data on boll weevils
that may not be out of place just at
this time. The Unied States Depart
ment of Agriculture has been receiv-
ing a number of inquiries relative to
the effect of the recent cold snap on
the hibernation of boll weevils. As ex-
plained in a recent statement by the
Department, an examination to deter-
mine the number of weevils entering
hibernation in the past fall was com-
pleted just before the cold weather
occurred and showed that in most
•ections an unusually large number
of weevils had entered hibernation.
Despite the recent cold enap, the de-
partment says, there is reason to as-
sume that there will be sufficient
weevils in the spring to make strong
weevil fight quite necessary in more
heavily infested districts.
Undoubtedly many weevils have
been killed by the cold. Experiences
have shown that as soon as the tem-
perature goes below 30 degrees,
those weevils having the least protec-
tion are the first to die, and more
and more die as the temperature goes
lower. However, experiments at least
10 degrees colder than those experi-
enced recently have still permitted
enough survival to cause a serious
weevil fight the following year. Rec-
ords kept over a long period of years
show that the weather this winter has
been cold enough to reduce materially
the weevils in hibernation but it
should be remembered that the nor-
mal survival during the winter
amounts to only 3 to 5 per cent on
the average and that an unusual num-
ber enterd hibernation last fall.

PROGRESS PREDICTED BY
PRES. TYLER YEARS
A letter written by John Tyler, 10th
president of the United States, in
which he ventured to forecast the
growth in population of the United
States, has recently been found in
New York. The letter is addressed to
Col. Samuel Gardiner of Shelter
Island, whose son had married the
president’s daughter. The letter is
dated at Tyler’s county seat, Sher-
wood Forest, Va., Nov. 6,1850. At the
time the ex-president was living a
quiet life; he had withdrawn tempo-
rarily from active politics, not to en-
ter that field again until the eve of
the Civil War.
“In a little more than half a cen-
tury, a people who were regarded as
little better than a host of murderers
or sojourners among savage tribes
have attained position among the first
of civilize! powers,” he wrote. In the
arts of l|fe he found that the young
nation rivaled the people of the Old
World, while their prowess in arms
had excited wonder.
“With a spirit of adventure,” the
letter continues, “heretofore unequal-
ed by anything which has occurred
on the map of the world, there is
united a deep plodding sagacity which
crowns the most daring enterprises
with success. Such a people, even had
they attained that which is denomi-
nated a stationary condition in regard
to population, would not fail to at-
tract great and absorbing attention.
But, when the reverse is the fact,
when our population is known to dou-
ble in every period of 25 years, when
having now a population of 25,000,000,
that number before the child now in
the nurse’s arms attains maturity is
destined to reach nearly 40,000,000,
and before that same child shall have
passed the boundaries of middle age
to 100,000,000."
Though TVler’a forecast was too op-
timistic, it is clear enough to show
that he had a clear vision of the po-
tentialities of the country. At the
time the letter was written the pop-
ulation of the counry was 23,260,638.
Twenty-five years later Mr. Tyler be-
leivad it would have doubled. There
•re no figures for 1875, but in 1870 the
number of inhabitants was 38,655,016,
within the next decade it had grown
to 50,262,882 and by 1900 it was
76,129,408.—Ex,
