twenty or twenty-four inches In length
and about ten In width. Two straight
pieces OF silk by the yard or Of very
wide ribbon form the bottom Of the
case. the two sections being cut exact
ly alike. one to go ON the top and one

neatly over and over. then finished
with q gilt or fancy cord or with .

meet in the center, and II they are
supplied with silk cord loops and gilt

The original idea has been enlarged
upon by one woman. who made set
of satin-covered partitions q little

them separate. Instead of having to

Fewer failures in 1907 than in the

as in r. G. Dunn's report. There
were seventeen failures in this part
of Texas in 1907 against 81 in 1906.
Furthermore the assets in the fail
ures of 1907 showed an excess over
the liabilities of $176,940, whereas
in 1906 the assets were only $500
over the liabilities This fine show
ing made in spite of great finan-
cial disturbance and on the heels OF
the hottest and dryest summer in %

prosperity of Southwest Texas. Cop
ious rains during the past two

fidence makes the business outlook

WINTER BASKETBALL IN TEXAS
Season Inaugurated at San Antonio

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. IL
Winter baseball inaugurated here

to be quite a success, owing to the

to become one of the features of the
tourist season of San Antonio. Sc
far only local team made up partly
of Texas league ball players who are
wintering here and a sprinkling OF
amateurs have played. News, how
ever, is received from Chicago OF
the coming of the White Sox little
later to go into training here. AS
San Antonio has some ten thousand
winter tourists here continuously
every winter as well as a large pleas
ure loving population, there is a
fine chance to make the winter base
ball a paying feature as well as a
good training for the northern base
ball season.

Davenport, is in my opinion super

use in Texas. 1t preserves the essen

which is virtually eliminated in the
Houston city charter; and it preserv-

the power TO hasten or retard an ad-

should desire. 1t has another feature

MORE DIARIES NEEDED

A great part of Texas is very
much asleep on the subject of food,
where 1t comes from, who pays for
it, and who gets the money.
Take, for instance, dairying.
Dallas is paying for $4,000
pounds of butter every week shipped
in from outside the state, mostly
from Kansas Fort Worth has some
progressive creameries and is taking
care of the local situation better,
says the Fort Worth Telegram. The
Alta Vista creamery alone has five
receiving stations in Texas for milk
and cream. The Panther City cream
cry is advertising for all the cream
it can get. At a maximum all the
Fort Worth Creameries are making
less than 400 pounds of butter a
day They could sell 1000 pounds
locally.
In an address before the farmers
congress at Amarillo, c. O. Moser,
government dairy expert at Denison,
showed in simple figures how much
money there is in dairying by farm
ers, even for those who keep only
ten or twelve dairy cows. A very low
estimate is SIS net profit from a
cow every year.
1t isn't necessary to ship the milk
and run the risk of its spelling in
shipment The cream can be shipped
and two days on the road will not
spoil it for butter making purposes.
In fact cream has to be "ripened"
before it can be used for butter. The
skim milk kept at home on the farm
can be fed to hogs and poultry.
Fort Worth has a market for sew
| eral thousand pounds of cream a
day The packing houses are scour-
! ing the country all the time for more
milk and cream to use in connection
with their butterine products, but
the local creameries are the princi-
pal market.
The farmer 200 miles from Fort
Worth has almost the same advan-
tage as the one ten miles away. The
express on shipments is little more
but on the other hand the land de-
voted to dairying is cheaper. He is
at less expense.
A popular illustration used by a
Texas insurance company pictures a
COW which is feeding in Texas and
being MIXED in New York. The il
Illustration applies to Texas money
going out of the state for life insur-
ance premiums.
The illustration can be applied as
aptly to dairying Dallas is paying
out at the rate of over 100000 a
year for butter produced outside the
state. A local creamery man said
this week:
IF it were not for Kansas and
Missouri Texas would starve for
! butter, or else eat oleomargerine. y
| Why should Kansas farmers get the
money that is waiting for the farm
! ers of Texas?
The state needs more diaries and
needs them right away.
