HOUSTON AND THE
HOUSTON CHRONICLE

Celebrating Its thirteenth anniver-
sary, The Houston Chronicle issued
souvenir edition on October 18th.
In this edition the Houston OF thir-
teen years ago is contrasted with the
Houston OF today. In text and illus
tration the anniversary edition re-
fleets by comparison the growth OF
the paper and Its city. The edition
stresses the fact that every modern
building In Houston, Of which there
are now hundreds, has been erected
during the life OF the Chronicle.
Thirteen years ago there was one
six story building in Houston. It was
and Is a brick structure Within the
era measured by the life Of the Chron
lcle. concrete and steel construction
has gone forward at a pace which
has given Houston scores OF build
ings ranging In height from six to
eighteen stories. Among these Is the
ten story Chronicle building OF re-
lnforced concrete.
Contrasting the growth OF the
Chronicle since the beginning, the
anniversary edition recltes some In
teresting comparisons The Chronicle
when 1t began publication had a sin
gle eight page press It now has
three presses with a combined capa-
city Of iii pages. The press battery
now include 32-page Hoe, 49,
page Scott and a 6i-page Goss The
last named press has just been In
stalled and is declared by the build
ers to be the largest newspaper press
between Kansas City and the Pacific
Coast with the present press capa-
city. The Chronicle should occasion
require, can turn out complete news
papers at the rate Of 100000 an
hour. Rapid circulation gains have
made necessary these additional
press facilities.

ASKS THE sLATON sLAToNITE.

VIM. NJ Moore called at the Sla-
tonite office Saturday to ask for. q
little information in natural history.
Mr. Moore said that the earthen tank
on Walter Robertson's farm. south
west OF Slaton, was full Of frogs this
summer; there we're so many that
they seemed to number In the thou
sands-a million as the common ex-
preston II. When the rain came up
Tuesday Of last week, the frogs all
left the tank, going out under the
south bank and started In q drove to
travel to the south The Robertson
family watched the truly amazing
spectacle Of the frogs leaving the
tank by common impulse. aud the
ground was literally alive with the
moving frogs. This migration occur
red just before the rain fell. In q
short time the frogs disappeared, and
a careful search since has failed To
locate any Of them. There are no
frogs remaining In the pond.

MONEY MART GETS

Clearing House Banks Be

Practically all the Clearing House
banks Of New York have marked down
their interest rates on standing call loans
j per cent, those made at per cent
( being reduced to per cent and the
loans at per cent, have been marked
down to per cent
There are other indications Of increased
business in the monetary situation.
Agents of western banks offer various
sums of money on time for 90 days to
four months at per cent and there is
a fairly free supply Of call money at
per cent, with one-year money obtain
able at per cent.
Although no official Information can be
obtained from banking officials. it is
stated by Stock ENchange members In
close touch with the banking situation
that practically all the Clearing House
certificates have been paid of. This IN
itself Is a reason for the banks volun-
tarily reducing the interest rate, as an
interest charge of 6 per cent. was made
on all Clearing House certificates issued
While sterling exchange was firm. there
was increased weakness in Continental

one-year notes at l0O94.
The various New York Stock Exchange
committees are in continuous session con.
sidering the subject OF reductions in min.
