BRITISH SCIENTIST HELPS
BAN LOIN CATTLE DISEASE
College Station, Texas, Nov. 13.—
A preventive has been found for
“down in the back” or “loin” disease
which has threatened the cattle in-
dustry of South Texas, it was an-
nounced at Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical College Tuesday. The
preventive is simple, merely the mat-
ter of supplying phosphorus to the
diet of the cattle—three ounces of
bonemeal to each animal a day, it was
said. The method of prevention was
announced following an investigation
by scientists at A. & M., and by Sir
Arnold Theiler, noted British scien-
tist, who came here by request. It
was said the disease was found to be
similar to a malady discovered among
cattle in South Africa and for which
Sir Arnold discovered the remedy that
now will be applied to South Texas
cattle.
OPPORTUNITY IS
KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
Opportunity is knocking at the door
of Lampasas and it is time to fling
open the door and bid her stay. The
proposition will be discussed at a
luncheon given Thursday night to
committees from Temple, Goldthwaite
and Lometa, relatives to securing a
state highway, and from information
given out at the meeting Wednesday
of the Chamber of Commerce, now
is the time to get what Lampasas has
been needing for many years, that is
a state highway. It is believed that
with the co-operation of Temple, Lam-
pasas, Lometa and Goldthwaite we can
secure a state highway without any
difficulty. The State Highway Depart-
ment will have something like one
million dollars to spend on roads in
Texas this year and by meeting the
requirements laid down by the State
Highway Commission, Lampasas
pounty already having been designat-
ed as a state highway, it will be pos-
sible to secure this long desired pub-
lic highway it is hoped.
REPORT ON SALVATION
ARMY CONTRIBUTION
W. G. Gamel, president of the Ad-
visory Board of the Salvation Army
reports that a total of $370.60 has
been collected in Lampasas for the
Salvation Army work, and thei’e is a
possibility of $200.00 more being re-
ceived from those who have not said
what they would give. It is expected
that Lometa will send in a nice col-
lection, and if there are those who
have not been solicited by either the
gentlemen’s committee or the ladies,
they are asked to take a contribution
to either Tom Richey at the Stokes
bank, or to ,W. G. Gamel.
The president of the board desires
to extend thanks for the liberal con-
tributions and to those who assisted
in putting the work over in Lainpasas.
It is hoped that the contribution to
this cause will exceed that of last
year.
DEATH OF GRANDMA HOWARD
Mrs. J. B. Howard, well known as

munity, died at the home of one of
her children in Paint Rock Wednes-
day night, and the body will arrive

out for burial in the Bethel cemetery.
She lived in this section of the coun-
try many years, and her husband died
here several years ago and her re-
mains will be laid beside his grave.
Grandma was eighty years of age
and had been feeble for some time.

KLAN SLAYER TO
PLEAD INSANITY
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 13.—“Delusional
insanity” is expected to be the plea
of Philip E. Fox, klan publicity man,
when he goes on trial next month for
the murder of Captain Wr S. Coburn,
klan attorney.
Counsel for Fox and his physician
Tuesday declared they had no doubt
Fox was insane when he shot Cobum
a week ago and the physician, Dr.
Linton Smith, expressed his belief
that the prisoner still is mentally un-
balanced. It was learned also that the
solicitor general is preparing the
State’s case with the expectancy of
an insanity plea being made by Fox.
With these developments in the Fox
case, there occurred Tuesday another
chapter in the Klan factional differ-
ences when a peace warrant sworn
out several days ago aginst Imperial
Wizard H. W. Evans was dismissed
after Dr. Fred B. Johnston, chief of
staff to Emperor Simmons, asked the
court to dismiss it in the interest of
all concerned. When he obtained the
warrants for Evans and three of his
aides, Johnston asserted that he had
reason for fear for his life and the
lives of other Klan officials.
Wizard Evans, in a statement later
in the day, said he was not in posses-
sion of the facts in the Coburn killing,
and opposed the recent statement of
Emperor Simmons that the Klan was
headed toward ^destruction, i. Evans
declared the organization rests upon
a strong spiritual and financial found-
ation.
Deputy Collector C. D. Paine re-
ports that taxes are coming in slowly
at this time, as it seems everybody
wants to hold on to the “cold cash” as
long as they can. However, since the
turkey business has opened up so brisk
and the pecan crop is also being gath-
ered rapidly^ the folks will have more
cash to spend and no doubt some of it
will go to pay the taxes. By all
means pay your taxes before the last
day of January, unless you just want
to pay an additional interest on your
tax money.
Why not brighten up the home a
bit before the Thanksgiving guests
arrive? Colorful new draperies,
fresh curtains, an extra cushion or
so, or a beautiful new lamp will work
wonders. New things arriving daily
at Stokes Bros. & Co. Dry Goods De-
partment. (dw)
BOMB KILLS FATHER AND SON
Corpus Christi, Texas, Nov. 14.—
Impenetrable mystery apparently sur-
rounds the tragedy which overtook
this city shortly after noon Wednes-
day in which the lives of J. A. Barnes
and his 12-year-old son, Jesse, were
snuffed out~by the explosion of a
bomb, sent to Mr. Barnes by express.
Beyond the fact that the bomb was
sent from San Antonio very little is
definitely known. Police officers, who
are using every means at their com-
mand to ferret out the identity of the
sender of the bomb, have little to work
on, since the force of the explosion
left only the most fragmentary sort
of clue which might establish the ans-
wer to the puzzle.
The bomb was contained in a wood-
en box marked “J. A. Barnes, Cor-
pus Christi, Texas,” and “Magazines.”
It was marked “Personal.”
The package arrived in Corpus
Christi Tuesday night over the S. A.,
U. & G. Railroad and was delivered
at about 10:30 o’clock Wednesday
morning, Jesse, the son asked his
mother for permission to open the
package but Mrs. Barnes refused.
Mr. Barnes, who had been serving on
a jury, returned to his home at about
12 o’clock and took the box out to a
back porch to open it. It is believed
that the explosion occurred as he lift-
ed the lid, which was tightly fastened
with heavy" nails.
Dates, figs, raisins, currants, all
sorts of nuts—everything needed to
make a perfect fruit cake can be or-
dered from Stokes Bros. & Co. Gro-
cery Department. (w)
