TWO new CROOKS
FAIL IN SCHE ME

Notwithstanding the fate OF the
three forged check passers in Indiana
Harbor a few days ago, two crooks of
the short change variety visited this
city yesterday, only to meet with the
same fate befell Little jeff" and
his pals After trying their art in a
number of saloons with varying re-
suits. the police were tipped off that
there were a couple of new crooks In
town and Sergeant Frank Barker and
Officer Charlie Rachjenez arrested the
pair near the South Bay hotel They
gave the names of James Scott and
Frank Lana.
The men tried the old gag of chang
ing a twenty-dollar bill, changing and
sub changing it in such a manner as
to confuse the man who was making
the change, with the result that after
the men whom the saloonkeeper had
accommodated have taken their de-
parture the saloonkeeper finds himself
out five or ten as the case may be. or
in some instances of the original
twenty
Two of the plaves visited by Scott
and Lana were the establishments OF
George Danciu and George Onde in
Pennsylvania Avenue.

citizen of Dawson. who SAID tndt
his information was obtained through
an authoritative source, has stated
that since July list, the beginning OF
the governments new fiscal year, not
less than $50 revenue licenses have
been issued for the sale OF whiskey
in Terrell county. The licenses held
in Dawson will in all probability in
crease the number to approximately
200. and makes a black record IN
this respect for Terrell county
Nearly all of the $50 licenses held
outside of Dawson is by parties VINO

of them being negroes. 1t explains TO
a considerable extent the reason
there is SO much complaint by the
farmers of bad labor conditions, ana
when labor is secured why it cannot
be controlled.

town, three passing through here
and four having terminals here, so
we get good line of business from
some distance away, and Alexandria,
therefore, is not fair criterion of
what would happen to strictly ag-
ricultural community
AS to the fifth question, 1 will
state that none of our planters have
made any money since 1906, and
many of them have not held their
own. Our planters have been COM
PEELED to go into other lines, such as
planting potatoes, planting larger
quantities of corn, raising hogs and
some stock. We have a first-class
agricultural county here, and l be-
lieve that in the course of time our
country will be richer than it has
ever been. We have a better cotton
crop this year than we have had
since 1907, but the acreage is small.
| believe the day of the large plan
tation is past, and that it will be
necessary for these large plantations
to be subdivided and cultivated
largely by the people who own them
with but little hired help. When that
time comes our country will be a
very prosperous one.
Not knowing what the agricultural
conditions are in your community,

BILE to give you any information, but
| say to you frankly that it would
be worth your while to make trip
into the boil weevil country and
make an investigation for yourself.
I did this in 1906 in Texas, and l
came to the conclusion that the boil
we9vil was with us to stay and would
be a serious menace always. In dry
years with proper cultivation you
will lie able to raise some cotton, bat

know there are some people who
are inclined to scott at the ravages
of the boil weevil, and one OF them
was the president of the First Ma
tional Bank here, Mr.. Paul Lisso.
He told a gentleman here last fall
who came over from Mississippi to
investigate the boil weevil that ne
and his brother had lost in the mer-
camille business at Coushatta, about
100 miles north of here on Red river,
something like 100000 trying to
advance to farmers like they had pre-
viously done.
NV advice to you is that you write
to DIR. w. D. Hunter, at Dallas, Tex,

YOU will get valuable information
from him. Very truly yours,

CROWN AND BRIDGE WORK
Some Thoughts and Suggestions on
the Subject by Local Dentist
That Should Be of Value.
(By DR.. Walter H. HoylO

(By DR.. Walter H. HoylO
Are you wearing gold crown or
dental bridge? If so this subject
will ne of interest to you.
Some twenty-odd years ago when
crown and bridge work was intro
duced it materially increased the IL
nancial income of the dentists, and
was a godsend to many people who
had unwisely had teeth extracted or
had neglected their teeth until it was
necessary to use gold crowns.
In those days it was requisite of
each practitioner of dentistry to con-
struct his own crowns and bridges.
The remuneration was good. it being
from $40 to SIS per tooth, depend
ing on the locality. Only few pos
sessed the mechanical ingenuity to
practice this class of dentistry, and
those who did found their Mecca.
OF course every dentist, whether ne
was qualified or not, desired to make
a specially Ct crown and bridge work.
Now for the result. Within the past
ten years there has sprung up in eV-
cry city of any size a 'pu6,i3
dental laboratory for the profession
only" where they make for dentists
only gold crowns and bridges for
$3.50 to $500 per tooth. This ena-
bles every dentist to practice crown
and bridge work in a certain fash
ion. The dentist makes an impress
sion of your tooth and forwards IL
to the public dental laboratory Tor
the profession" who constructs for
him at the above nominal cost, the
dentist charging you 81 to SO for it.
II is impossible to obtain hygiene
crown by this method. The labora-
tory sends the dentist stock crown
to approximately fit his impression,
the dentist in turn grinds your tooth
to approximately fit the crown IN
Mace of making the crown to fit your
tooth. A crown or bridge that ap-
proximately fits is cess pool OF
flth and incubator of bacteria. we
often find the breath of a crown or
bridge wearer most offensive. Most
positively this repulsive odor is due
to the slipshod method practiced by
the dentist. Does your dentist re-
ouire you to wait from three to five
DAYS before placing a crown or
bridge? If so, most likely you are
wearing stock crowns, so per cent OF
which can hardly be called an APP
proximate fit
Artificial teeth on plates are in
greater demand than they were five
years ago. and crown and bridge
work. which justly revolutionized
dentistry twenty years ago, is rap
idly falling into disuse. 1t is time
for the public to demand of the dem
fist hygienic crown and bridge work,
and patronizez only those who quail
ifv themselves to practice this spe-
cial branch of dentistry.

a a.,1 mart of September. In 1907 Rap

raised $500 bales; in 1893 some
tbiro over 1000 bales. l do not
rnmember the report for 1910 and
tq11 but it was but little if any
natter than in 1909. This, | think,
answers your first question.
In reply to your second question,
will state the price of cotton is eff
foctod only in case of a very material
decrease in production over the en-
tire territory.
In reply to your third question, l
will state that the deposits in the
hanks of Alexandria are considerably
lower than they were in the early
mart of 1907, and they have been
iower ever since the boil weevil came.
Of course the panic had something
to do with this, but l attribute a
large part of it to the boil weeyil.
II is my opinion that there has been
Int very little money made in the
mercantile business in this country
since 1907. You can understand, OF
course. that this being largely an ag-
ricultural parish it's business is mate
