PANHANDLE PEOPLE DISPLAY PRODUCTS
Revelation Made Regarding the Things Il Will
Produce in the Greatest
Profusion

The Panhandle exhibit of agri-
cultural products in what is
known as the Panhandle tent,
south of the main agricultural
exhibit hall in the State Fair
Grounds, has attracted much at
tention from the visitors to the
Fair during the last two weeks,
and it is the boast of those ex-
hibiting in this tent that the
farm and garden products there
shown have taken as many pre-
miumS, if not more, than any
other section of Texas. This is
considered the more important
in view of the fact that it was
only a few years ago that the
plains and Panhandle country of
Texas was considered little less
than a barren prairie, fruitless
of anything less than the grasses
upon which the roaming herds
of cattle are fed.
Randall County of which Can
yon City is the county seat, has
an attractive exhibit, one of the
interesting features of which is
a large Photographic view of the
principal business and resident
ial sections of the city. 1t shows
off well. Among the agriculture
products displayed there may be
named Indian corn, milo maize,
katfir corn, wheat, oats, millet,
alfalfa, hay and many varieties
of garden vegetables.
The exhibit of Swisher County
of which Tulia is the county seat
took eight blue ribbons or first
premiums, two red ribbons or
second premiums, and was third
in the sweepstakes for county
exhibits. The first prizes were
taken on baby squashes, turnips
sweet peppers, cabbage, canta-
lOupes, sweet potatoes, string
beans and oats. Second prizes
were taken on onions and nat
i've hay.
The Amarillo country, of which
the city of Amarillo is the center
is showing some excellent speci-
mems Of the stuff which the
plains country produces. In the
display are to be found many
varieties of wheat and oats, kattir
corn, ilomaize, millet, peanuts,
kershaw, pumpkins, cantalopes,
corn, potatoes, celery, cabbage
and beets. Considerable litera-
ture and picture postal cards
giving an idea of what the Pan
handle country is like and what
can be raised there 'lrave been
distributed from this exhibit
during the Fair.

VISITS DALLAS FAIR
Secretary Of Commercial Club States that Pan
handle Exhibits were Best Of All.

r. A, Terrill, Secretary of the
Commercial Club of this city, re-
turned home Monday after an ex-
tended trip through the northern
and central portions of the state.
When seen by a representative
of the News and questioned as to
conditions, Mr.. Terrill stated
that he found business conditions
were not so good as is found
in the Panhandle country. This
condition." said he, is on ac-
count of the short crops during
this year. About the only crop
that was raised generally was
cotton and upon inquiry from
large cotton buyers, | learned
that the cotton crop was about
fifty per cent of the average
The price of cotton has been
much better than in former years
and this has been of great bene-
tit to the farmers generally.
But the farmers, now that cot
ton is selling at or near fifteen
cents per pound, have not any
great amount Of cotton on hand
the crops having been gathered
and sold. | was also told that
many farmers are even now bor-
rowing money upon which to live
until the neXtcrOp can be raised.
Bankers, too, complain that Ii
nanceS are very much depressed
in their various localities but
these bankers do not fear any
serious results from the short
crops. "
While away Mr.. Terrill visited
the State Fair at Dallas and
comes home better pleased than
ever with the Panhandle country.
DO you know that there were
exhibits from nearly every coun.
ty on the Plains and in every one
of these exhibits were shown
/ products that are a credit to the
whole Plains country: People
who have seen the exhibits this
year are simply astounded at the
sight for they had the impress
sion that the Panhandle had Simp-
| ly burned up and blowed away
during the past year. Randall
County 5 exhibit, though smaller
than some of the others, attract
ed a great deal of attention and
will result in much good. We
ought never to consider another
/ proposition to send any exhibit
to the state fair in connection
with any other organization for
we did not get prominence in 10.
cation and space that the county
and exhibits deserved. For my
part | shall never be willing to
send out another exhibit again
without we send some one with
/ the exhibit who shall have charge
of the location and displaying OF
the products. Our exhibit this
year has done lots of good for Us
/ but if we had had a personal re.
preventative. it would have
done us much more good in the
way of publicity. These are
! Mr.. Terrill's remarks.

zones within constitutional limi'

cally resolves itself into this:
Shall the peace, prosperity and
integrity of millions of deposi-
tors be secured by levying tax
on bankers, which shall protect
depositors against loss, as now
the security of our institution is
protected against ignorance by a
tax for educational purposes;
against the crimes of unfed pow
erty by imposing tax for the
relief of the poor; against revOl-
ution and decadence by encour-
agement of patriotism with a tax
for the support of aged and de-
pendent patriots.
Since all chartered banks are
necessarily quasi public institu'
tiOns and their regulation and
control a legitimate function now
exercised by the governments
authorizing the respective sy-
stems of banking in behalf of the
whole people tits obligatory that
such banks be required to act in
the utmost good faith and with
entire responsibility.
The above, with direct refer
ence to the Omaha case, as spec
ifcally applied to the Nebraska
law, and having to do with the
Texas law only in a general way,
for it is entirely apparent that
neither of the two grounds on
which the Court finds against the
Nebraska law is incorporated in
the Texas law, that is to say:
compulsory acceptance provision
as to the existing State banks,
also as to private banking institu
tions, while the Texas law eX-
pressly provides that the State
banks choose between the asses
ment plan of guaranty and the
bond plan.
Clearly the bond plan can not
be construed to impose upon the
banks acting under it the pay
ment of the obligations of anOth-
er bank, for the bond requires
of the bank giving same nothing
but protection of certain obliga-
tions of its own. This cOnStruc-
ton is so evident that it is not
debatable and no one questions
the power of the state to require
the giving of a bond as enacted.
The Texas law makes no ac-
]
ceptance requirements of private
institutions doing a banking bus
mess. but extends to private
banks and to banks operating
under special charters the OPP
ton of accepting the bond plan
only.
Beyond question the Texas
law is immune to attack on eth
er of the grounds indicated in
the Nebraska decision.
1t is indeed to be regretted
that we are again confronted
with the historic tendency of the
Federal Courts to interfere with
those affairs properly within the
| jurisdiction of the States. How
ever, the recent decisions of the
United States Supreme Court in
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
case, appealed from Texas, and
| in North Carolina rate case,
would seem almost certain to in
dicate a final adjudiction favor
able to the guaranty of deposits
law as enacted in the several
States of the Union.
The determination of the valid
Iity of the guaranty law of Ne.
braska was properly within the
domain of It's State courts,
where it should have been
assailed, and from which it could
have been taken on appeal to the
court of last resort. which under
the issues as made would be the
Supreme Court of the United
States.

GRAND CENTRAL
HITS 1T AGAIN,


Salt Lake. August S.-The ore body
recently opened on the 2,000-foot level
of the Grand Central company's mines
at Tintic was tapped on the 2,l00-foot
level Friday night The market yes
terday gave unmistakable evidence
that something out of the ordinary has
happened and when General Manae-
er c. Z. Loose was called up at his
hime and questioned on the matter yes
terday afternoon he said
I'm informed that the ore was cut
on the 2.100-foOt level last night. but
no particulars have been received up
10 the present time other than that 1t
was looking good
Manager Loose explained that there
had not been time enough in which
TO learn much about the strike. and
particularly as TO the size OF the ledge
on that level That is likely TO re-
quire two or three days and possibly
more, q conclusion that is drawn not
from anything that Manager Loose
said. but from the fact that the same
ore body, on the 2,000-foot level. has
shown an average width of better than
fifteen feet for the distance that 1t
has been opened up, and from the fact
that the opinion has prevailed that
the strongest portion OF the shoot was
counted as being below, rather than
above. the 1000 level.
Outside information which reached
the city during the day was To the
effect that the strike had been made
as stated and that the ore, in addition
TO carrying fine values Ia copper, went
away up in gold. Within a day or
two. without doubt, there Will be moro
detailed information concerning the
strike. but those who know conditions
are already declaring that the disclos-
ure is going to be Of tremendous I'M
portance to the mine. Some of them
go so far as to say that the chances
are all in favor of the making of an
other Centennlal-Eureka bonanza
Manager Loose was asked If the
ledge had been cut on the 1.S0O level
as reported. and he said that he know
nothing about conditions on that level

RoeRER FolLeo BY MISS FROST.

Salt Lake. Aug. S.-Mlss Grace f.
Frost, principal of the Bryant school.
saved her purse by brayely standing
her ground and fighting off thief who
attended her near her home In the
Konsington apartments shortly after
s o'clock last night.
Accompanied by her aunt, Miss
Frost had left her apartments for n
short walk in the neighborhood. They
were strolling along leisurely, engag-
ed in conversation, with no idea that
n purse-snatcher was following a few
PAGES behind. Miss Frost carried her
purse. containing Sll5. hanging from
white linen cord in her right hand.
\ short distance above First North
street she wac startled by the sud
den appearance of the stranger. who
had stolen silently up TO her side. Be
fore she fully realized his intentions
the man made n desperate grab for
the purse and tried TO wrench 1t from
her hand.
The task was more difficult appar-
entity than he had expected, for Miss
Frost retained her hold and fought
back at every attack For n brief in
terval a fierce encounter was kept
up between the thief and his intend
ed victim
BY this time, thoroughly frightened
by the cries of Miss Frost. who kept
calling for help, the stranger gave a
last desperate tug at the purse, and,
failing to get It, threw Miss Frost
away from him, letting go his hold and
fleeing from the spot
In being Knocked backward. Miss
Frost collided with her aunt, the i'm
pact throwing the aged woman TO the
street and causing her TO wrench her
ankle. which was still weak from a
sprain sustained a few weeks ago
This second injury and the attendant
shock of the fall brought on an at
tack Of extreme nervousness which
required medical attention later
Miss Frost caught but a f1eeting
glimpse of the thief in the darkness.
She described him as a young man,
perhaps % years old, neatly dressed.
and says she believes she Will be able
to Identify him If he is caught by the
police.
