A SCANDAL!
A Famous Traveller From the
East Arrives Unexpectedly
in Washington and Ex-
poses Many of Our
Most Respected
Women.
Pointed to on the Streets as
Being Absolutely Disrepu-
table, Many of These
Ladies Suffer Affect
Humiliation.

This morning was too glori-
ouSly beautiful for such a scan
dial.
Imagine the confusion of the
two eminently reputable ladies
who were singled out from the
crowd on G. street by this un-
looked-for visitor.
All eyes were upon the unfor-
tunate women, who, hurrying
into the Palais ROYAL. sought
escape on one of the elevators,
fleeing to the third floor.
Here explanations were made.
Said one of the ladies':
II was walking along G. street
with Mrs. when I OBJ
served that | was attracting
unfavorable attention, pointed
out to every one by this un-
looked-for visitor. Look at
me and you'll understand. :.
Please fit me with a new cos
tune"
The reader will understand
that the unexpected visitor was
the long-lost sun, and that the
exposures were due to his
searching x-rays.
That the two ladies told of
were not the only ones ex-
posed was evident i'm the Palais
Royals Suit and Millinery Par
lors, crowded with those seek
ing new attire.
Quite logical that this G.
street establishment be visited.
because finally reduced prices
are being quoted for all Cloth
Suits and Dresses-$o.o8 for
those that sold at $1,000; SI6.5 50
for $500 garments; $24.oS for
$4,000. and S29.9S for 5000
garments.
: The Trimmed Hats are $4.oS
instead of $3.50; $7.oS instead
of $I2.Oo; So.o8 instead of
$I4.oo; $I3.98 instead of $1,000.

gents. This makes larger voting body
than was ever contemplated by the ma
tOnal society.
The report of the program committee
as accepted without discussion and
without a dissenting vote, exactly as it
was presented by Mrs. Samuel w. Jami-
son. chairman of the committee. In
times past the program has been the &C.
casiOn of the liveliest kind of debate
in the congress. Bitter attacks were
made upon the program as presented,
previous to the assembling Of the con-
gress. the Story party being DESTROYS of
having the voting for president general
tegin wednesday instead of Thursday,
as provided by the program committee.
1t had been announced that there would
be determined effort made to change
elections back to the earlier date, but this
did not materialize.
Reception a Brilliant Event.
The reception at Continental Hall last
night was a brilliant affair. Mrs. Mat
thew T. Scott, president general. stood
In the midst of almost tropical surround
ings to receive her guests.
Mrs. Scott wore a gown Of white duch-
esse lace. with touches of black velvet. dia-
monds and pearls. Mrs. John w. Foster

The chief products Of Texas in or
der of their value, as estimated by the
Federal agricultural department for
1910. are cotton, corn, wheat, oats, hay,
rice, potatoes, etc. Cotton as the lead
ing product is far ahead Of its rivals
Corn occupies second place without
challenge Wheat and oats have been
disputing for third place. but the sep
aration this year is so pronounced that
there can be no longer any contro-
versy over their respective positions.
An examination of our cereal prod
ucts dispels the idea that Texas is a
one-crop state. In 1910 we harvested
2ss, 900 900 bushels Of grain Although
a busheI Of oats weights less than a
bushel Of any other grain, yet there
is some significance IN the total guam
tfty OF all cereals produced. Our cereal
belt is following closely behind the
plow as it turns the virgin soil, and
we have so far found no geographical
limitation placed upon it by nature.
Our corn acreage in 1910 was $780,
900 and production 1S1,28o, 900 bushels
and It had q farm value of $114,206 600
This corn was raised in 12o days, max
ing an average production Of approx
mately 100000 per day. We raised
20.6 bushels per acre at q farm value
Of 1928 per acre. The corn crop of
1909 and 1910 VIII purchase the rail-
roads Of Texas using the railroad COM
missions valuation on railroad pro-
erty.
This giant industry has scarcely be-
gun its development IN Texas and the
possibilities Of extending the corn
area and increasing the yield per acre
present a wide field for entertaining
farmers and there are millions Of
acres Of idle land in the corn belt.
