and declaring it a misdemeanor to
use the feed and seed for purposes

Austin, Texas, April 9.—Only
one county has formally applied
for aid under the drouth relief
bill enacted at the recent special
feeeeaon of the Legislature and its
application had to be temporarily
rejected because of irregularities
in the papers. This was Fisher
county, which asked for $90,000
out of the state appropriation of
$fijD00,000 to purchase seed and
feed for counties in the drouth
stricken areas. It is expected that
other counties will apply in the
near future, particularly since
this season's crops must be plant-
ed at once.
Because the acts of the last call-
ed session of the Legislature have
not been printed, the public gener-
ally is not folly advised ss to the
exact procedure necessary to ob-
tain funds for drouth sufferers.
In the first place, the new law spe-
cifically authorizes counties to use
their general funds for the pur-
chase of feed and seed where the
Commissioners’ Courts are of the
opinion that the same are needed.
It is entirely within the proviuce
of the Commissioners’ Court to ex-
tend relief through county funds
or to ask for state aid where the
couuty has uo funds for such pur-
poses or its surplus available for
drouth relief is insufficient. Unless
the County Commissioners’ Courts
act there cart be no relief to the in-
dividual who seeks help.
Under the relief act County Corn
niissioners formally adopt resolu-
tions asking for aid and file same
with the Governor, who is charg-
ed with making an investigation of
the conditions. If, in his opinion,
the county needs aid, he approves
the application and instructs the
Comptroller to draw warrant on
the State Treasurer for the am-
ount approved, the maximum be-
ing *10,000 for any single eounty.
The county executes an obligation
to the State for the amount bor-
rowed and same is payable in two
years, one half each year, and in-
curs 4 per cent interest in favor
of the State.
A great deal of interest lias been
manifested as to how the individu-
al shall proceed to get the benefit*
of the new law. A sufficient state-
ment of what is required in each
instance is herewith outlined. All
application for relief must be filed
with the eounty clerk of the coun-
ty of the residence of the prospec
tive beneficiary, and none can be
entertained after Sept. 1, 1918.
All applications must be presented
by that date, and must be made un-
der oath. Applications shall set
forth the following:
The number of acres applicant
intends to plant; how many bush-
els or pounds and the kind of seed
he will require to seed said ground
and the number aud kind of work
stock he intends to work on such
land. Applicant must aver that he
has not and can not procure the
necessary seed and feed for the

sioners must advertise such foot

It is the patriotic duty of every person, financially able
to purchase his winter supply of coal now so the scan-
ty supply on hand this winter can be sold to those
whose financial condition is such they cannot buy in
quantity. This is as much your patriotic duty as the
purchase of Liberty Bonds.
