IN CELL FOR FAILING
TO PAY FOR BANQUET
Promoter Finds He Has No
Cash After He and Friends
Dine at St. Regis.

NEW YORK, March 29-After having
been held in the st. Regis Hotel fol-
many hours a young man who said he
was Walter c. Lamb, a mining promoter
was taken to the East 51st street police
station in a taxicab last night and locked
up. charged with failing to pay a bill fol
$3.50 which he had incurred in giving
a banquet Monday night.
Lamb showed up at the hotel Monday
morning and announced he wanted q
banquet arranged for forty guests. He
was not known to Gustave r. Schmidt
manager of the hotel. but he talked vel
and the banquet was arranged. In the
late afternoon he telephoned to Schmid,
and said:
Just cut that number down from forty
to twenty-seven. I'll have only twenty
seven guests at the banquet
Lamb and nine Of his guests arrived
shortly before Monday night and Lamb
casually remarked
''My other guests probably will not
come.''
Until after midnight Lamb and his
friends dined and wined. Then Lamb got
uneasy, went to the Office and said to
Manager Schmidt:
I'm a little short Of change tonight.
Wish you'd hold this bill till tomorrow"
Held in Pawn.
well have to hold you along with
the BILL" said Schmidt. We'll give you
a room in the hotel and tomorrow you
can communicate with your parents,
guardians or friends"
Lamb bade his friends goodnight at 1
o'clock. He did not confide to them he
was in pawn for the bill. They all
agreed that Lamb was a perfect host and
liberal entertainer.
Lamb called up friends yesterday morn
ing until his telephone bill was 81. Among
them was Mr.. Huddy Of East Orange,
but Mr.. Hubby happened to be in New
York, and Lamb could not reach him.
About o'clock last night Manager
Schmidt decided it was about time to
turn Lamb over to the police. Hotel De-
tective Carroll took the mining promoter
to the station house.
II am a travelling man and have no
permanent address," Lamb told the po-
lice. However, I was born in East
Orange and am we'll connected"

men have already begun to agitate the
conservation idea and to adopt measures
to educate the people to see the advan-
tages OF making the most OF what they
have and wasting as little as possible. A
conference of leading men from various
sections Of the state was called two years
ago to consider means for promoting a
diversion Of crops and more intensive Gull
tivation Of the soil in order that the far
mers may derive greater revenue from
their land and their labor. Realizing the
agriculture for it's prosperity, an organi-
cation called the Industrial Congress-
was formed to direct an educational CAM
paign among the farmers under the
motto, LESS land and better cultivation
Method of the Campaign.
r. ]. Kleberg Of Kingsville, manager OF
the famous King cattle ranch of 1,1S0,OOO
acres, which I believe is the largest in
the world, was the first president, and
under his direction vast quantities Of lit
erature were sent out for the farmers to
read. Agricultural experts We're sent from
village to village delivering lectures and
organizing farmers associations: county
fairs were promoted to furnish object les
sons as to what might be accomplished;
the rudiments OF the agricultural sciences
were introduced into the puDlc SchOolS
and various other means were adopted to
enlighten the ordinary farmers as to the
best seeds and implements, the most eff
fective methods of cultivation, the best
breeds OF cattle, sheep, swine and poultry.
and to disseminate other information
which the ordinary farmers ought to
know. The campaign was slow at first
but gathered impetus, and its effects are
already beginning to be seen.
Henry Exall Of Dallas was elected presi-
dent Of the Industrial Congress for the
current year. and celebrated his inaugu-
ration by Offering $4,000 in cash prizes
for the best yields of corn and cotton
throughout the state.

BLOOD
DISEASES
Contagious Troubles

Contagious blood poison more
thoroughly permeates the system
than any other disease. Its infectious
virus contaminates every corpuscle
and tissue of the circulation, and for
this reason its symptoms are of
varied nature. When it enters the
blood it is but short time until the
mouth and throat begin to ulcerate,
the skin becomes spotted, rashes and
eruptions appear on the body, sores
and ulcers break out, the hair falls,
and frequently nails on hands and
feet thicken and come off. Mineral
medicines which simply shut the
poison up in the system should be
avoided, for when such treatment is
left off the old disease will break out
again, often worse than before. S. S. S.
cures Contagious Blood Poison
permanently, and it does so because
it thoroughly puriies the blood. S. S. S.

Will Be Annual Event.

This movement is naturally exciting a
tremendous interest, especially among the
young people, and Mr.. Exall tells me
that prizes will not only be offered an
nually from henceforth. but the Industrial
Congress is planning other lines of COM
petition. Next year it will offer awards
for the best managed farm. for the most
productive orchards and will encourage
the live stock industry in similar way.
Col. EXall is resident of Dallas and
has the largest horse farm in the state
in the neighborhood of this city. He was
commissioner Of live stock at the Worlds
Columbian exposition at Chicago, and is
recognized as one of the highest authori-
ties on that subject in the country. He
is public spirited and progressive citizen
and whatever he undertakes is usually
successful. He has entered the present
movement with heart and soul and it
promises great good for Texas.

Announcement by the Congress.

The official announcement is as follows:
1.-The Texas Industrial Congress believes
that this question is SO vital to all the
interests Of the state that every pos
sible effort should be made to induce the
scientific cultivation of small tract of
land in every agricultural neighborhood,
showing by ocular demonstration that it
is more profitable to cultivate twenty
acres of land scientifically with careful
seed selection than to cultivate eighty
acres by our wasteful present methods.
ITO induce immediate action that will
to some extent demonstrate the truth Of
this belief, the congress will give first
prize of $500 in gold. a second of 81. 500,
a third of $3.50. a fourth prize of $500.
q fifth prize of $3.50 and ten prizes Of 500
each for the ten next best results, for
the largest yield of merchantable corn
on ten acres of land, and the largest
yield of middlng cotton on ten acres of
land, the twenty acres to be on one farm
and under one management. to be located
in Texas, and the crop raised in 1911,
without irrigation, boys and girls as
we'll as adults being eligible to compete
for these prizes.
fourth prize Of $3.50 and ten prizes of 500
each for the largest yield Of merchant
able corn on two acres of land, and the
largest yield of middling cotton on two
acres Of land, the four acres to be on the
same farm and under the same manage
ment. the crop to be raised without irri-
cation, by boys and girls not over twenty
years of age on the list day Of January,
1911.
"AH prizes will be awarded and paid
latter a careful examination by the award
ing committee, which will be appointed
by the executive committee Of the Texas
Industrial Congress"

present and announced that
Colorado special exhibition train
would be run through Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and other Mis-
slSSlppi river states this fall. Each
railroad entering Colorado has
agreed to contribute a disman-
tied coach. The state will be
divided into districts and each
district will be assigned IA coach
which they can fit up in IA manner
best canculated to display the
products Of that district. The
San Luis Valley will have car,
the Arkansas valley will have Il
car, the dry farms. the western
slope, etc.
a managep will be placed in
charge of each car and the
State Board of Immigration will
pay him a salary. Besides the
exhibition ears, two tourist sleep
