NORTH TEXAS BURIED
UNDER FOOT OF ICE
AND SNOW AND SLEET
WICHITA FALLS, Tex., Jan. 18.—
Buried under more than a foot of
snow, sleet and ice, Northwest Texas
was Sunday night in the grip of the
worst storm in the recollection of the
oldest residents.
Starting in late Saturday night, the
storm persisted throughout Sunday
and at 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon the
flake fall continued unabated with of-
ficial depths ranging from 11 to 13
inches. There was no indication that
a lull was in sight.
Old timers here declared Sunday
that not within their memory had a
fall of such depth visited this terri-
tory- Until two years ago no official
figures were kept.
Street car traffic was badly inter-
rupted and operation of railway trains
in and out of the city was greatly
handicapped with passenger trains
hours behind schedule. Telephone
and telegraph companies, however,
seemed to have suffered but little.
There was no wind to speak of. and
the temperature, hovering around 30
degrees, did not bring large accumu-
lation of ice.
Reports from surrounding territory
indicated that the snowfall was gen-
eral over this section. Electra and
Burk Burnett reported 13 inches, Ver-
non 10, Beyers 6 and points in South-
ern Oklahoma from six to 12.
- While of untold value to wheat
crops and to lands where cotton is to
be planted as well as to the oil indus-
try, both of which have been sorelj7 in
need of rain, the blanket of snow that
covers the ranges will result in heavy
losses to cattlemen unless the tem-
perature rises quickly.
MERGER OF PRISONS
IS URGED BY NEFF
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 19.—Removal
of headquarters and concentration of
the entire prison system on one loca-
tion on 53,000 acres in Brazoria and
Fort Bend Counties were recommend-
ed by Gov. Neff in one of his messages
to the Legislature Monday afternoon.
Would Concentrate Units
The present financial status of the
State prison system as reported to the
chief executive by the chairman of
the Prison Commission is as follows:
Cash on hand Jan. 1 1925, $394,427.32;
land notes and interest due, $81,000;
net cash balance on hand $289,642.27.
Gov. Neff said that when he became
Governor the prison system was “in a
rundown condition,” with no operat-
ing money in the treasury. As a re -
sult, he continued, he had to borrow
$750,000 to meet the obligations of the
system and to carry on the work.
Permanent improvements to the
value of $256,381.83 have been made
during his administration, the Gover-
nor pointed out, including new build-
ings erected on the farms.
Concentration of the entire system
on the 53,000 acres of prison farm
land in Brazoria and Fort Bend Coun-
ties is recommended by the Governor.
His recommendation calls for remov-
al of the headquarters of the system
now at Huntsville to a central point
for the 53,000 acres in question. Un-
cjer present arrangement the farms
of the system are to be scattered for
the best interests of economy, the
chief executive said.
Tho system has work stock valued
at $117,369.47.
VETERANS WARNED
NOT TO TRY TO SELL
BONUS CERTIFICATES
Washington, Jan. 20.—Warning to
war Veterans that bonus insurance
policies cannot be sold and at pres-
ent have no loan value, was issued
today by Director Hines of the veter-
ans’ bureau. He said reports of at-
tempts to sell certificates had reached
him.
The director pointed out that the
certificates are payable to the veteran
or his beneficiary at the expiration of
20 years and that designation of a
beneficiary for a financial considera-
tion is illegal. After two years the
certificates may-be used as security
for a loan.
Persons who buy the insurance cer-
tificates also were warned that a vet-
eran, if paid to designated beneficiary,
might later designate another under
the law.
FOR SALE
One hundred bushels good corn, two
tons headed maize. See C. B. Adams,
seven miles southeast of Lampasas.

HOLLEY-LANGFORD MOTOR CO.
STATE LOSES IN
AUTO TAX LITIGATION
GROESBECK, Limestone Co., Tex-
as, Jan. 20.—District Judge A. M.
Blackmon, Judge of the Seventy-Sev-
enth Judicial District of Texas, Tues-
day granted an injunction restrain-
ing the Tax Collector, W. A. Robbins
of Limestone County, Texas, from
turning over to the State Highway
Commission the automobile taxes for
the year 1925 and also restraining the
State Highway Commission from tak-
ing charge and control of the State
highways from the Commissioners’
Court in Limestone County.
This suit was brought by ’the Com-
missioners’ Court at the instance of
County Judge H. F. Kirby. The suit
follows the course of action adopted
by the Commissioners’ Court hereto-
fore, and is identical in its terms and
application with a former suit filed
and injunction granted last year, up-
on which the Supreme Court has not
yet rendered a final decision.
The Rainbow Girls got around to
where they “had to have some money”
and Lee Walker, of the picture show
houses, has generously donated the
proceeds of the picture show to be
given Friday night. The Rainbow
Girls will sell tickets and they hope
to get all the money they need for
the organization.

ing as his reasons failing health and
a desire to rest from his arduous of-
ficial duties.

several mornings and it continues
to be cold, but the bright sunshine
makes the mid-day comfortable an]
pleasant—regular sunny South weati
er.
