Oaubing Material 90 Cents Per Gallon Higher

siderably in price.
Along with the other advances
in the cost of living goes paint,
which is certainly a household
necessity. This includes varnish
as well as the humb house
paint. The advance is something
like 40 cents per gallon, which
makes painting ones suburban
home this spring luxury to be
thought of.
The Standard Oil Company,
which controls all the oil used in
making paint, including turpen-
tine and linseed oil, together with
all crude oils, is to blame for the
increase in this particular branch
of the cost of living.
The reason as given by the Ft
Worth paint dealers for the de
dided raise in the price of raw
materials is the scarcity of flax
seed. The winding up of the old
crop of seed finds insult fficient
supplies to fill contracts. There

Wheat Samples Shown are Good.

On Tuesday Ed Gibson exhited
at the News office some samples
of wheat grown in his neigh bor-
hood, some four miles southwest
from Canyon City. These sam
pies measure some thirty inches
high, good heads and will easily
produce sixteen bushels to the
acre. In making the calculation
on this field of ninety acres of
wheat, the sample heads really
figure out about twenty bushels,
but the stand is not of uniform
thickness all over the field which
cuts down the general average.
However it is fine looking field
of wheat and will be ready tc
harvest in about another week.

FINE NEW WEST POINT CHAPEL.
Costing $4,000. - Dedicated Sunday, June
I3th.- Gothic Style Of Architecture.

New York-A party of army
officers of high rank stationed at
the posts near this city went to
West Point last Sunday morning
to be present at the dedication
of the new chapel just erected
by the government at cost of
$4,000.
The new chapel is situated on
a summit overlooking West
Point and is now one of the most
striking features of the skyline
along the Hudson river. 1t is
reached by a winding roadway
from the parade grounds, and
the chaplain s quarters adjoin
the building at the southeast.
The military Gothic style Of
architecture has been carried
out by the designers. The bull
ding is fire proof throughout and
seats about 1000 persons. A
Sunday school hall is situated in
the basement.
The inside length of the chapel
is approximately 200 feet and
the total width SO feet. The
height from door to vault is So
feet, and to the top of the tower
above the first story 1870 feet. 1t
is built of local granite, trimmed
with Indiana limestone. and the
interior is lined with buff bricks
and vaulted with Guastavina tile.
Inside, over the principal arches
are inches which will some day
be filed with statues of famous
soldiers.
The somewhat remarkable, if
not significant, part of this item
that impresses the many readers
of the News, is the idea that one
of the largest military schools of
this country if not of the world
in which it is supposed that
nothing but war and all of the
horrors of war are taught,
should advocate and secure from
the government such vast APP
preparation to secure a suitable
edifice in which to hold divine
worship for an army graduate
1t only is a more convincing fact
that the world is growing better.

CONDITIONS OF TEXAS CROPS
Comparison with I909.-Crop Conditions En-
couraging. Production Of Wheat and
Oats Largest in Several Years.

AS it's first general report on
the crops of Texas for the cur
rent season, the News presents
the individual reports of 700
correspondents written on June
8th, which reports, as a rule.
show very encouraging condition
and prospects in respect to the
various crops now growing or in
process of harvesting
While the crop is spotted in
every district of Texas, reports
by districts present an unusual
uniformity of condition. Much
of the crop appears to be late,
although in every district there
are areas where the growth is
normal or earlier than usual.
Recently the weather has as
rule, favored growth of plant,
and it is reported to be improv-
ing rapidly. In nearly every
part of the State the ground is
better conditioned and contains
more moisture than it did last
ysar. There are some localities,
however, which report too much
rain or the reverse The crop,
upon the whole, appears to be
unusually free from insect pests
although, as is common at this
season, lice are reported in
some sections and boil weevils
have appeared in some of the
southern counties, without as yet
inflicting material damage. The
stand, as a rule, is good.
Conditions in the western dis
tricts are somewhat better than
in the east. Labor is in plenti-
full supply, except in a few local
tiles, and the crop is well culti
vated.
Texas has almost completed
the harvest of the greatest
wheat and oat crops of record
for several years and is anticipa-
ting the largest corn crop in the
history of the state. More than
95 per cent of the 700 reports on
these crops speak of an increased
acreage, of bumper yields of
wheat and oats and more than
average condition and stand for
corn. The almost total failure
of these crops in many sections
of the state last year offers an
unsatisfactory basis for compar-
ison, and in many instances the
correspondent answered the
question as to acreage and per-
centage by stating that the acre
age was largely increased, the
stand perfect and the prospects
for the bestyield for many years,
depending only upon average
conditions the balance of the sea-
son. Wheat and oats are out of
danger. Most fields have been
cut and the grain is ready for
the thraSher. Corn is safe in the
extreme southern part of the
state, but from ten days to two
weeks backward throughout the
northern and northwestern sec
tions. Rains are needed in Cen
tral and eastern Texas, as we'll
] as in North and Northwest Tex
as to continue present prospects
but many report that one more
, good wetting is necessary to in
sure an average yield, or crop,
compared with last season, fully
, 100 per cent better. Dallas
