RICE ASSOCIATION MEETING.
Monday, January 4th, City Hall, HOus-
ton, Texas.

The Texas Rice Farmers Associa-
ton will hold their meeting in Hous-
ton on the first Monday in January,
which is the 18th day Of the month.
The rice farmers Of both Louisiana
and Texas, must now take action on
the future of the industry and fOrmu-
late some plans to work on, and for
this reason, if nothing else. they must
not sit back and let the other fellow
90, and expect relief and benefits. 1t
is up to each individual to put forth
every effort in behalf Of this meeting,
to get the farmers out. There are so
many things to come before this meet
ing that every farmer must support
the action, and a few farmers can not
accomplish anything to speak Of
A rate of one and one-third fare for
the round trip from all points in
Texas and Louisiana to Houston,
good on the 3rd and 4th, to return on
the 4th and 9Th.
Farmers who intend to come, please
work on other farmers to induce them
to come. Now is the time for action
and if this chance is lost 10 marketing
the remainder of our crop at its true
value, the farmer can not get relief,
and will sacrifice, especially on Japan.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The following questions will put the
rice farmers to thinking, and if you
will study and think of some plan be-
fore the January meeting, a successful
work may be carried on to solve a
serious problem:
l. Does the rice farmer own or con-
troll any market for his produce?
2. Is the rice farmer an independ-
ent or dependent producer?
3. Has he rice farmer any chance
to dictate prices. only through hold
ing campaign inaugurated by the
Association?
4. Don't YOU think this holding of
rice to advance price, from year to
wear, will get to be a tile ome propo-
sition?
5. Who owns the market for the
entire rice crop?
E. Don't you believy he rice farm
er would be independent if he owned a
market for his product?
7. Think OF some plan by which the
rice farmer will be able to own a
market, and be able to dictate prices,
that will not make us all fear an oyer
production each year.
s. If the farmers Of both Louisiana
and Texas would unite on some adj
yertising and selling campaign, don't
you think it would solve the problem?
The above questions are for the
consideration of all interested in the
production OF rice, and it is for the
rice farmer to work out. No one is
going to fight his battles, he must do
it himself.
Come to the meeting on January 4th,
and show the industry that you are
willing to lend your assistance in the
good work.
Yours very truly,
Texas Rice Farmers Association,
A. e. Groves, Sec.

REDUCE RICE ACREAGE
Rice Farmers Say They Intend to Hold
Their Product While Longer
For Higher Prices.

Lake Charles, La. ;. Dec. T.-A farm
er from Welsh, here today said; "The
rice farmers in this vicinity are going
to hold their rice until after January
with hone of securing higher prices
as the size of the crop is ascertained
more fully There seems to be consid-
cradle doubt in the minds of some of
the farmer as to whether the crop is as
large as it has been reported, and
for that reason all who are in a posi-
ton to do so are going to hold on for
awhile longer. 1t is said here that a
great many Louisiana farmers will
move to Texas this season. A num-
Der of larger farmers near Crowley
are also preparing to go west, some
of them to California. A greatly re-
duced acreage this season is freely
predicted -

TRADING WAS BRISK
ON 'CHAN6E MONDAY
Columbus Con. Remains Favor
ite, and Colorado Shows
Some Strength.

Trading in Columbus Con. took up a
major portion of the time of Monday S
calls on the local stock exchange, and
in spite of the pressure of heavy sales,
the security held comparatively firm.
Sales at Sl.75 marked the high point
in price for the day, and the closing
quotation WINS $l.62la bid. Inside inter
csts, it is said, are buying the stock,
and among the traders Monday were
several who are but seldom heard from.
The prices prevailing at the afternoon
call were somewhat lower. on the whole,
than those of the morning session, but
though il looked at times as though
the stock would lose the footing 1t has
gained during the past few days, 1t
rallied each time. and closed firm.
Colorado also strengthened up some
during the afternoon call, and closed
high at 81 cents. Sioux Con. was slug
gish and small demands for tho stock
were filled at Al cents.
The general tone of the market was
better than for some time past, and
il Columbus Con. can maintain its ad'
vance, further Improvement all along
the line is looked for. Total sales
Monday amounted TO l06,960 shares,
for which was paid $66,353,37.

H0DS0N MAY INVEST

John Hodson, the discoverer OF the
Nevada Hills. the big mine OF the Fair
view district. arrived In town last night,
intent on inspecting the various proper
ties OF the district and with the possible
view OF securing some interests here be-
fore his departure. Mr.. Hodson made his
discovery in the boom days OF Goldheld.
In 1906 and the result was one OF the
conda.
The Nevada Hills proved a great SEN
sation In silvergold mines. and was re-
sponsiblc for the subsequent rush to
Wonder. Mr., Hodson was fortunate
enough To get associated with enterpris-
Ing men. who, Ike himself, knew some
thing about mining; and he also had the
good sense To reserve n goodly interest
in the property. The mine paid its own
way after the first payment and soon
became a dividend payer. People actual
ly begged for stock in the company

The Golden Lion has recently been in

ing the claims in a systematic manner,
and after certain air connections nave
been made in the mine. n road built
and certain other preliminary work at
tended TO. mining will be started
Mr.. Hilpert states that in the tunnel
on the property a good sized body OF
ore has already been uncovered. the
product running from so to $l3O in
gold, ~ per cent copper and from j
TO 10 ounces in silver. This ore was
found at the lOOO-foot point in the
tunnel, at vertical depth of $50 feet
there being, however, about 400 feet OF
stopping ground available along the dip
of the vein. All preparations will be
made this winter for getting out 2
shipment in tho spring. and If the
ground opens up as anticipated it viii
be possible TO maintain production
The vein, Mr.. Hilpert says, bears every
appearance of being permanent, making
as it does in the contact between q
cyanide and dyarite formation. II is
the intention of the operators to sink
on the ore and prove the deposit uT
as far as possible before commencing
