county seat of Dickinson county, one of
the finest agricultural counties of the
state.
The Abilene National bank is one of
the strong coterie of banks organized
throughout the west and southwest by
that able financier, w. p Rice, of Kan
Sas City, he being one of its directors
and vice-president. OF late the bust
ness of the bank, always good, has very
materially increased and under the able
management Of q. II. Barker its presi-
dent, and E. D. Humphrey its cashier;
it is now in the first place in the amount
of its deposits:
Another solid institution is the Citi-
zens' bank, which was established
October 20, 1885, by Hon. T. II. Maiott

Messrs. A. ". Rice, d. Il, Gordon, W.

management Of the business by his son !

More Grass Needed.

Southern farmers are slow to discover
their advantage over those of the Northern
States for raising grass, horses, meat cattle,
including dairy cows, sheep and wool,
says Daniel Lee, in the Southern Cultipator.
Who can tell what the GOO, 100000 acres
OF farming land south of Mason and Dix.
on's line are for, ii not for purposes of
grass culture and stock husbandry, as well
as Tor raising corn, cotton and other cult
waited crops Diversity your farm industry,
your large solid capital in land, and have
hive acres thick set in grass to one aero
under the plow. Why not? In an adj
dress before the cotton planters of Burke
County, Ga, in 1917 my humble effort
was to convince them that the grass grow
ing on tue large commons in and near
Augusta was valuable, and might be ex-
tended over 100000 acres in the State,
and be worth, for raising stock, 81 an acre,
or SlO,000,000 in the aggregate. Rome
conquered the world by being in advance
OF all other people in making two blades
OF grass grow where one grew before.
Perennial grass gives man power that is
not limited TO the lifetime of one man or
one generation, but happily lasts as long
as water runs and grass grows. All flesh
is grass, except the flesh Of the man who
tights grass instead of sowing grass seed.

THE EFFECT OF THE HURRICANE.
It VIII Probably Settle the Samoan
Dispute Amioably.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The inability OF
the American vessels to get out of Apia
harbor and thus avoid being forced on shore
by the hurricane was theme Of speculation
by naval officers today.
Admiral Porter said this evening. Fewer
lives were lost by the ongulang of the
United States and German vessels at Samoa
than II o battle had been fought for the
ownership of the island. Besides regard il
as practically settling the question which
has caused so much dispute regarding this
coral reef and both Governments may have
been taught a salutary lesson. The hurri-
cane, or whatever 1t was came upon the
ships so suddenly, as is frequently the case
in that part of the world, that neither oili-
GERS nor men were able to take any prccau-
tons for safety or escape
reference has been made TO the effect
that the English man-of-war had steam, and
was thereby enabled TO get out of the way of
the disturbing element. My experience has
been that neither steam nor sail would avail
much in such n storm, and the probabilities
are that the Calliopc was some distance from
