When Dr. A. B. Carter left Bryan
last Friday to attend the meeting of
the Central Texas Dental Association
at Marlin he took with him an invita-
tion to the association from the mayor
of Bryan and from the Commercial
Club to come to Bryan for the next
meeting, which will be the first week
in March.
The invitations were backed by an
earnest appeal by DR.. Carter, who as
sured the association that the accom-.
modations would be ample and good
meeting hall was available. The de.
sire on the part of the membership to
visit Bryan was the clinching argu.
ment, and it was voted to accept the
invitation.

Are Lower.

New York, Sept 11.-While thou
sands are starving in China and
France is rent with riots against high
food prices, there is renewed atten-
ton in the United States because
sugar has reached its highest price in
twelve years, coffee prices are at a
new high record and potatoes are sell
ing up to $1l0 in the field. 1t is
learned that with the exception of
these three stples, September in Unit
ed States began with food prices more
favorable to the consumer than in
September last year. Mess pork, for
example, was $500 per barrel against
$24.00 at the same time last year.

TEXTILE MILLS RisUM|MG
Eighty-fve Thousand Operators Put
to Work in Past Eight Days.
[By Associated Press.l

Boston, Mass, Sept. 11.-Nearly
$4,000 persons engaged in the New
England textile industry resumed work
today after various periods of idleness.
Within the past eight days $4,000 tex
tile operatives have been called back
to their machines.
The outlook, however, is not exceed
ingly bright, as curtailment OF produc-
ton will continue at some cotton and
wooden centers. At Fall River last
week over 325,O00 pieces of print cloth
were kept off the market. This was
over half the normal production of
the mills of that city.
