The following excerpts from a letter
written County Judge Leslie by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas,
through its governor, R. L. Van Zandt,
will explain themselves. It is earnest-
ly desired by the bank that the people
over the county get this information,
and The Favorite herewith transmits
it to them.':
Dallas, Tex., May 19, 1917.
County Judge Fannin County,
Bonham, Texas. ■
Dear Sir:
By authority of the secretary of
the treasury, you have been appointed
chairman of the “Liberty Loan Com-
mittee” to be organized in your cotm*
ty to enlist the support and co-opera-
tion of your people in the fllotation of
the liberty loan bonds.
It is the desire of the secretary that
you call a mass meeting of the citi-
zens of your county not later than
Saturday> ’May 26th, and at that meet-
ing effect an efficient organization for
the purpose of conducting, a whirlwind
campaign, having as its object the
arousing of your people to a realiza-
tion of the necessity of their subscrib-
ing for the, liberty loan war bonds.
In selecting your assistants you are
requested to draw from the rhpFeSen-
tative business meh, farmers and pro-
fessional men of your county, and to
Invoke the asistance of your newspa-
pers in a campaign of publicity. At
your organization and other riieetittfs
you should request the aid of the best
speakers obtainable, in order that they
may Impress each individual with his
or her responsibility in this hour of
our country’s need. The committee
created at that meeting will proceed
along such lines as they may deem
best, appointing such sub-committtees
and local organizations as may be ex-
pedient, but the burden of carrying
your campaign to a successful conclu-
sion must devolve upon your organi-
zation.
We hope you will appreciate the
great importance of the work that has
been entrusted to ‘you, and that you
will give the matter your earnest and
patriotic attention. The greatest prob-
lem that confronts the American peo-
ple, for the moment, is the successful

flotation of the $2,000,000,000 liberty
loan bonds. The eyes of the world are
on us. A failure to successfully and
quickly float these bonds might vitally
affect the result of the war.
All of your local banks have been
officially authorized to receive sub-
scriptions for these bonds and are pro-
vided with subscription blanks and de-
tailed information in reference there-
to. Your citizens should beu rged to
go immedately to these institutions
and arrange for participation in this
war loan.
The liberty loan department of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas will
gladly furnish, upon request, such
further information as you or your
committee may desire. The subscrip-
tion lists will be closed on June 16th,
and it is therefore imperative that
your work be accomplished without de-
lay.
Yours very earnestly,
R. L. VAN ZANDT,
Governor.
HOSE-ANNA.
The new spring hose that Ann has got
Provb her to be a patriot.
Upon each one there is a flag,
Red, white and blue—the lasiest gag
Of fickle style
And lor a mile
The slackers gaze at Anna’s shin.
Recruiting service she is in.
The flag upon the court house tower
May float unnoticed by the hour;
file solemn solons may be wise,
But Ann knows how to advertise.

‘‘GOOD CLOTHES
THAT FIT”
The fire company answered an alarm
of fire this morning coming from
South Bonham. The fire proved to
be the residence occupied by J. T. Mc-
Collum, a cotton mill employe, the
property being owned by the Bonham
Cotton Mills. Mr. McCollum lost all
of his household goods nearly, with no
insurance. The house was insured for
something like its value.
The fire company could do nothing
with the burning property, inasmuch
as it was beyond redemption by the
time the long run to it was made, the
company certainly not getting the
alarm until the fire had gained con-
siderable headway.
The point where the fire company
came in was in saving the adjacent
property. It is more than likely, that
the house on the West side of the
burned structure would have gone up
in smoke had the company not put in
some good work. It looked rather
doubtful for the house on the east
side at first, so much so that Chief
Stevenson ordered another line of hose
to play on it, but the east wall of the
burning house Collapsed, thus lessen-
ing the heat.
Our fire boys are always ready }d
hattib Willi the flames. They do their
work well, and their labors along this
line, while gratuitous, are one of the
few things free in this work that are
worth' while,

WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
What is the cause of most
cases of dyspepsia? Im-
proper mastication of food?
Why is food improperly
masticated? Because the
teeth are not in perfect or-
der, and the. most of the
food is “bolted” instead of
being chewed, and sent into
the stomach in a semi-liquid
form. You see it gets right
down to a question of teeth,
good teeth, and all the teeth.
I supply good teeth. I eith-
er fill your bad teeth and
make them good or put on
serviceable and comfortable
gold crowns. Do not hesi-
tate through fear of pain—
there will be no pain if I do
your work, and I positively
guarantee it to give you
satisfaction.

RIPE MAY PEACHES
SliOWNJAVORITE
The Favorite man has heard of May
apples all of his life, but never a May
peach before. Such, however, seems to
be in existence, Jim Covington said
this morning that he had some ripe
peaches at his house. While The Fa-
vorite man did not doubt this state-
ment, he was from Missouri on the
proposition, and Jim sighted him. The
peaches are little fellows, but they are
ripe. Considering the Klondike breed
of weather we have been having this
spring the peaches had their nerve to
get ripe until the Fourth of July.
