DRY FARMING THE
 HOPE OF DESERT

San Antonio, Tex August 26-(Special. :, of those sections of the country where rainfall is light and that this art is highly beneficial to other parts of the country was very clearly brought out at the dry farming congress at Uvalde. It was declared by the men who know how to turn the trick that the part of the country once known as the Great Amer ican Desert" will be made to bloom with all kinds of crops in the near future In fact men were present at the con gress who have been making a most prof itable success of dry farming Men who had grown 60 bushels of corn to. the acre with less than one inch of rainfall since the first of April told how they had done this and others told of satis- factory results in growing fruit of the very best varites where the rainfall Is very light. These things are accomplished by knowing how to work the soil and conserve the moisture. In fact it was made plain that conservation of natural moisture is the secret of success. Flowing l5 inches deep was never hsard of until some genius discovered that by doing so and properly working the surface great crops could be grown. It was declared at this congress that many of the worn out farms in the older sections of the country could be redeemed and made profitable by using some of the processes known to the dry farmers of the Aoun- try.

Victor Records for September

To that gifted composer, Victor Herbert. belongs the honor of compos- ing the first great American opera, "Natoma" and it Is with great deal of pleasure that one listens to the rendition of the famous Dagger Dance from this work when 1t is played by Victor Herbert's orchestra under his own personal direction. This odd Dag ger Dance, like other characteristtc numbers in the opera, is based on In- dian melodies which Victor Herbert has been collecting for years. Its mel- ody is most entrancing and It's per- formance by Victor Herberts orchestra can be depended upon to be a perfect interpretation of the work. This is one of the numbers by this organization in the September list of new Victor Records. The other record contains two exquisite Mcdowell pieces, .'Woodland sketches" which are favor delightfully."- rendered.
 The first piano record ever made with orchestra accompaniment Is contributed by Frank LaForge, who gives a mas terly rendition of movement from the favorite Grieg Concerto with most sympathetic accompaniment by the Victor orchestra. There is also an other piano solo by Charles Gilbert Spross, who plays the dainty little 'Marche Mignonne." A splendid harp solo Is another feature, the Braga num- Der. Angels Serenade.' being most att tractively given by Charles Schuetze.
 Other contributors this month are Vessella's Italian Band. the Lyric Quar- tet. Montgomery and stone, and Eddie Morton.
 Among the red deal contributors are Tetrazzini, Martin, Mccormack, Alma Gluck,- Janet Spencer, Sammarco and Evan Williams.

SPEAK ON WORK . 0F P|SGAH HOME
BranscOmb, Oxnam and Others Talk - Home
 Needs Provisions

A large number of friends greeted the Pisgah evangelists at the mass meeting held at the Best theatre yesterday after noon.
 Dr. Oxnam gave an account of the beginning of Pisgah home, and then had several young men come on the stage and tell the story of their reformation. All of these boys are in good positions and the audience was able to see the actual results of Fisgah home
 The Rev l.. c. Branscomb, D. D., fol- lowed with an indorsement of the work. and said that while he did not hold the same views as Dr. Oxnam on some things, he was most heartily in favor of work that gave men another chance after they had fallen to the ground.
 Dr. Branscomb spoke of the parable of the prodigal son, and his brief address held the entire attention of the congrega- tion Colonel White made a fine talk. telling of how he had watched the home from the beginning, as well as the lead CTS, and that he was now prepared to fully indorse Pisgah home.
 The Rev. c. O. Oxnam, w J. Squire and several ladies, including Mrs. Capt John White. made little talks, and the meeting closed with everyone ready to work and help Pisgah home.
 While the Pisgah evangelists were in California the home was not kept well provisioned, and Dr. Oxnam finds it nec- essary to make another appeal through the papers. He said:
 'Pisgah home needs provisions of all kinds and clothing is particularly need ed-shoes, shirts. underwear and outer garments. Won't you make up a bundle right now and send it to 1N Cotton ave nue, or telephone West End 962 and let a man call for it?
 The home needs flour, sugar, coffee, lard and meat. Telephone your grocer to send some potatoes out to Pisgah home. Those who wish to send small checks may address same to the Rev. c. 70. oxnam, Pisgah home, 1O4 Cotton ave nue."

COMING OF CHRIST PREDICTED Unique Document Sent to Houston Court For
 Filing

Houston, Texas. August 27.--tSpeciall- Perhaps the most unusual instrument ever appearing at the courthouse in Houston for filing Is a declaration presented the county clerk from Chicago of the second coming of Christ in 1912 The declara- ton originated in Zion City, III. The county clerk ruled that the paper could not be filed in that it was not such an instrument as was contemplated by law. nor was it properly acknowledged. It was returned to Chicago with the filing fee, which was attached.
 The declaration contains a statement to the effect that Christ vii come forth from the enternal throne once again to teach and preach the gospel of heal ing, holy living and soul salvation to every creature, and to heal the sick of every disease and every affliction.
 The instrument also states that Christ will appear In bodily form first to eight men. one a high priest whom God will ordain for the occasion. and seven men, to whom he will have committed the important preliminary work in the restor- ation of Judah and Israel.
 The two names signed to the affidavit. made a part of the declaration, are those

 Having been honored of God at this time with a true knowledge of His plan for Zion City and for the second com ing of Christ. and having been called of God to witness to these things which are shortly to come to pass therefore we command that you. to whom this let ter Is Individually addressed, as being of those who pledged you all to God through Elijah, the restorer, for the prep araton for this coming of our Lord, shall now use every means in your power. finan- cial and otherwise, to aid us In declaring unto Israel everywhere the time and the place and the manner of His coming, as God has revealed if unto us, His two witnesses and we offer to you every knowledge that He has given to us through word in confirmation of our declaration. that you may not need to defend yourself before Christ for failin g to learn those things nor for neglect in IT aking these things known before they shall come to pass

bANKHEAD TALkSON DEMOCRAT T'SFUTURE FayOrs Harmon Next to
 Oscar Underwood MUCH UNCERTAINTY Reciprocity Can Kick Both Ways and It May Result In Injury
 to Democrats-Tariff Report
 Is Probably Colored
MUCH UNCERTAINTY

Senator J. IT. Bankhead, senior senator at the Morris, having come up from his home at Jasper. Senator Banl<head, when asked about the prospects for democratic success in the next presidential election, said that while 1t is yet too early to speculate on what the exact situation will be when the time to nominate the candi- date for President comes, 1t looks as if the democrats should have a good chance for victory.
 "It is too early to foretell who the democratic nominee will be" said Senator Bankhead. "Alabamians would naturally like to see Underwood the choice of the party. He has made an excellent recoro as leader of the democrats in the House, and would make a great leader If he would accept the nomination. If Underwood cannot be named, l am in favor of Har- mon.
 No one can say what the chances Tor success are. The past session of Con gross was the first in many years that the democrats have been united on the tariff or any other question. If they can be kept together until the election and preserve unity of purpose their candi- date will be elected. But many develop ments may take place. The condition of business affairs will be large factor in the election, and 1t is not certain VI hat the attitude of the country on reciprocity will be.
 'The farmers are not satisfied with the measure. claiming that it takes the duty off of that which they have to sell and leaves it on articles that they nave to buy It remains to be seen on whom those who are dispeased will blame the measure, passed, as it necessarily Was, with the help of democratic votes. They crats. On the other hand, those who fla vor the bill may reason that 1t wts origi- mated and passed by republican admln- istration and place the credit for 1t With the republican party
 MT. Bankhead stated that the veto of the tariff bills by President Taft was done with excellent reasons, from the Presi- dents standpoint. "The commission which is to report on the tariff at the next session of Congress, appointed by the President, will likely submit a report colored to some extent by protectionist views, so that there is no certainty what the next Congress will do In the matter Of the revision of tariff rates.'
