Plea for Memphis


 that city next year and made a strong plea for his city.
 Plea for Memphis ''We are the most centrally located city in our territory and are perhaps the most accessible" said MT. Sherron in extend ing the invitation. "A delegate can reach Memphis from the most remote point in the southern association within nights ride" MT. Sherron went on to tell of the wonderful advantages of his city and some member interrupted to inquire II the city had regional bank. MT. Sherron replied that it had not yet secured one, but that such a bank would be- in opera ton by this time next year. A waggish member then made a motion that the con- vention meet in Memphis when that city secured the regional bank.
 Upon motion the matter of selecting the convention city for next year was passed until this morning, when it will be taken up and decided.
 Allen H. Meadors brought up the mat ter of changing the date of holding the convention and this was also set for ac- ton this morning.
 plished during the afternoon session it was decided that the association would continue to issue it's souvenir, and that the executive committee of the organiza- ton was to have the matter directly in charge.
 Sol Sarling was on the programme for an address, and spoke on Fake Adver- Using" He was well received and on motion his remarks were placed in the minutes of the meeting Morning Speakers Those speaking in the morning were AL len H. Meadors, who spoke on Com plaints and How to Handle Them" and J. K. Orr. MT. Meadors' talk dealt prin- cipally with how best to meet complaints of poorly made shoes or shoes that be- come worn before the consumer thought they should have done. His talk was very practical and was received with ap- plause
 Thomas 1T. Stone, editor of The Shoe Retailer, who was on the afternoon pro- gramme, requested that he be allowed to make his speech at the banqeut, saying that he had made no preparations, and what he said would take not more than \ l minutes, and would be entirely extempo- | raneous. His request was granted, and Commissioner Weatherly, who acted as toastmaster of last nights event, called upon him.
 | Besides MT. Stone. J. K. Orr and other, | were heard. MT. Weatherly was in fint | form as toastmaster and kept the ban. l queters in a continual state of laughter. The banquet was very enjoyable. There were present nearly 200 members of the associa tion and their guests. l The sessions today will close the con vention, and the programme is as fol 1 lows with any necessary amendments

FORMATION OF
CORPORATIONS
ON INCREASE
(By Associated Press

Austin, Texas, Nov. 1l.-According to
Judge ID. A. Gregg, chief clerk and acting
secretary of state, the temporary slump in
the formation Of new corporations in Tex
as has passed. Since the outbreak Of the
European war the number of new charters
filed have steadily decreased until the last
week or two when. business having read
iu,ted itself 10 a certain extent, Judge
Gregg says the usual number Of charters
are being filed. These new corporations,
however, do not include n single state
hank. Judge Gregg attributes this is not
altogether due 10 the war, but 10 the new
federal banking system which excludes
from that system banks with less than
$4,000 capital.

Gravity Canal Association for Oistrihu-
ton Throughout All Parts Of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.

Mission, Texas, Nov. 1l.-Considerablc
interest was manifested last night al the
meeting of the officers and members of
Lower Rio Grande Valley in the conclud-
ing paragraphs of a report submitted 10
the United States commission for the
equitable distribution of the waters of the
Rio Grande by w. W. Follett, consulting
engineer for the commission. This report
was made by Engineer Follett about three
years ago, and portions referring par
ticularly To the Lower Valleys irrigation
problem were sent to Secretary :. A.
Pipes Of the irrigation association. by
John W. Gaines. head Of the commission,
without solicitation.
This report, in conclusion, says:
"While this report covers the whole Of
the Lower Rio Grandc below Fort Quit
man, the important part j. the lower river,
below Rio Grande City. Here the develop
ment has just begun. in fact can hardly
be said to be- well started ON the Mexican
side. There i more land on each side than
can ever be served without the conserva-
ton Of the flood w%atcrs.) This report
has been directed principally to the peren-
NAL irrigation. as only that exists now.
There NAV come a time when the flood
waters will BE- diverted and stored in the
soil, following the methods Of dry farm
ing and. in this way, the productive area
may be greatly increased. This Is, now

Secretary Pipes read a letter from Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard in which the latter
advised him of documents appearing IN

to the waters of the Rio Grande, and stat
Ing that # Secretary Pipes will furnish
him a lit Of names Of Lower Rio Grandc

will operate the Donna sugar mill. stated

indication point- To- higher prices in sugar
next spring. and predicted that ~ next
fall sugar would command better prices
than ever before. Iic J. confident also
that good prices will hold Tor al least three
years.
Mr.. Hart j. highly optimistic concern
ing the sugar situation, Notwithstanding
that he some months ago was of the opln-
ion that the tariff changes would hurt the
price Ia . large extent. and which opinion
he ~till holds would have been justified
had il not been for the European war. He
bases his predictions concerning the sugar
business on the war conditions. the end
Of which he can not see within the next
three or four years.
The Donna mill. which j. the only one
in the Valley that will operate this year,
expects To begin grinding soon, and during
the season Of about sixty days will prob
ably grind $4,000 tons of cane. Beginning
of operation has been delayed somewhat
by delayed arrival of equipment, caused by
washouts.
