One of the master strokes of our
town wiljl have been the securing
of natural gas for general and
private use for our citizenship.
The signing up of the franchise
Friday afternoon by the city coun-
cil, if the company to whom the
franchise has been given, is in po-
sUiou to function, means that
within the year our housewives
wffl be blessed witli one of the
greatest' conveniences they have
ever known and many of our in-
dustries will materially benefit in
more ways than one. To our way
of thinking the securing of natur-
al gas for Cuero is far better and
means much more to our people,
though it requires far less invest-
ment for us, than wouId the secur-
ing of the additional cotton mill
thoro has been so much said and
written about the past couple of

vflid reason why both should not

Travelling over eleven hundred

and J. C. Carrington returned Sat-
urday morning front Eastland coun-
ty where they were sent as delegates I
lega
by the Farmers’ Luncheon CUib to
study the methods used in tha't sec-
tion in the poultry industry. The
towns of Brady. Cisco. Gorman, Car-
bon, Ranger. Eastland and Abilene. |
where a specialty is made of .poultry'
raising, were visited and the meth-|
ods of production .were observed. A I
number of interesting facts wen
noted.
In Eastland county the leaders of
the industry are using the same
methods of production and marketing
as are used in Pataluma, Calif., a fa-
mous poultry center of that state.
The Brady Chamber cf Commerce
is conducting an experimental poul-
try farm which is creating a great
amount of interest in that territory.
While investigating the industry
at Cisco, considerable interest was
shown ip the dairy program as car-
ried oat in DeWitt county, and opr
delegates were invited to remain in
Cisco at the expense of the Cham-
ber of Commerte ta give further de-
tails of the industry as developed in

TAX BILL WOULD
REDUCE INCOME
Pending Legislation on Univ.
Lands Would Lessen
Endowment.
s
AUSTIN*. Feb. 7.—It-is the express-
ed belief of President W. M- W.
Splawn of the University of,Texas
that the adoption by the people of
Texas of the proposed amendment to
the constitntion. now pending in the
legislature, to enable counties- to tax
land owned by the University in the
counties in which such land is situat-
ed, would have the effect of greatly
lessening the endowment of that in-
stitution. He suggests that the de-
sired relief might be obtained by
these counties by the adoption of an-
other and more satisfactory method.
The proposal to amend the Con-
stitution so as to enable the seven-
teen counties in whfch University
lands are located to tax these lands
would have the efTect. if the proposed
amendment should carry, of greatly
lessening the income from the Uni-
versity endowment,” Dr. Splawn
said. “Such result would be particu-
larly serious to thg University, be-
cause this income from the endow-
ment is the only source of revenue
available for the . construction of
baildings on the campus. Moreover,
under the Constitution as it is now
construed, the Legislature would be
powerless to restore to the Univer-
sity any of the money that would be
lost to the institution through this
taxation.
“If the Legislature is persuaded
that counties in which public-school
land is located should have relief
from whatever burdens state owner-
ship may impose, a fair and quitable
method should be to exempt such
counties from state taxes up To the
amount of the county taxes upon this
land.”
L08 ANGELE8, Calif., Feb. 7.
—Jack Dempsey, who is bedfast
suffering from blcod poisoning js
reported considerably improved.
A slight scratch on his hand be-
came infected.
Southern Young, DeWitt cdunty
colored farmer of the Concrete com-
munity. whose start in life consisted
of good health and a desire to own
property of his own, and who now
pays taxes on 320 acres of very good
fanning land .has shown that he has
the right idea of getting along in the
face of low priced cotton. even
though he still owes some money on
his farm, and the interest works
while he sleeps.
Hla first step was to make arrange-
ments to buy eight or ten good Jer-
sey cows and to line up with the
route man for the Crescent Valley
Creamery of Cuero. * .
Like most ottfier farmers of this
present age. Southern Young was1
largely attached to his family car. and
felt like, he could hardly do without
it. and it was in good shape for a
used car. but he brought it down to
Cuero to trade it in. not on a new car
at a higher price, but on a buggy by
which trade lie could draw a little dif-
ference in cash instead of giving it.
Gas power is faster than mule
power, but every time he went to the
Ailing station it Ux>k some of his
ready cash the colored farmer said
and if necessary he can take a mule
or horse ofT his grass which is free.
He won’t be seen in town as often as
heretofore, and when he comes it
will be on business, but his first
thought is to work out of the hole, and
his idea is to use the ere*,tin checks
and cash from egg sales to stay on a
cash basis, pare expenses down to a
minimum and keep off the mortgage
books until he can get out of the hole,
as he expresses it.
If all the farmers would try his plan
a while, he says, the country would
be in better shape, credit would not
be so tight and even if thep rice of
cotton doesn’t get back to 20 cents-a
pound it can still be raised profitably
if careful attention is paid to keeping
down expenses and working the farm
side lines.
