LET TEXAS FEED HERSELF.

This new movement that has been
started, which has for It's object a
change In the farming methods o. the
State, so that the State will feed It's
people and its livestock, means a
great deal more than many people
imagine. Few people are aware Of the
vast sums sent out Of Texas every
year for articles Of food, either for the
home or the farm. II is to check this
drain by producing these things IN
Texas that the new movemen. has
been started.
1t positively will surprise many well
informed Texans to learn that the last
United States census shows that On
$4,000 farms in Texas there is not a
single dairy COW; $4,000 farms are
without a hog; 10000 are without a
chicken; 100000 raise no forage: $685..
600 raise no sweet potatoes. and that
% out of every 100 Texas farms raise
neither hay nor forage.
Texas buys over S3O0,OOO,OOO worth
of food products every year from
farmers outside Of Texas. OF this
amount s5i,OOO,OOO goes for pork and
$j2OO0,0OO for corn, wheat, oats and
hay.
1t is to correc; this drain that ways
and means are to be discussed by
representative business men with the
bankers, business men and land own.
ers of the State with a view to in.
ducing Texas to feed herself as nearly
as II may.

The action Of the British govern

NEW STEEL BARREL
MAKES BID. FOR POPULARITY

HThe world wide fame of the old
STANDARD Oil fve-gallon kerosene can,
which has long been a familiar sight
in practically every section of the
globe, seems in a fair way to be du-
plieated by a l5.gallon steel barrel
which the Standard Oil company (Cal-
ifornia) recently adopted for the con
venience of its Zerolene customers,
said Col. E. II. Merrill manager of the
lubricating oil department for the oil
company, yesterday. Statements re-
ports indicate that these barrels are
going like the proverbial hot cakes.
OF course they will not be put to the
various uses that fall to the lot of the
coal oil can, because this barrel is
made to be refilled but from present
indications these barrels viii soon
have made their way to even the most
remote points where Zerolene is used.
The barrel in question is fitted with
patent faucet and, mounted on 2
stand, it makes an excellent garage
storage tank for oil. This fact, ane
because motorists are fast acquiring
the habit of buying automobile sup
plies in quantity, accounts for the re
markable popularity of this new Zero
lene eontainer.

The fire department was called ont
about 6 O'Clock this morning by a
blaze in the Hoskins residence, corner
Lay and West Fifth streets. The house
is occupied by the family of Engineer
r F. Rhodes, of the Western Pacific.
The fire originated in a small building
on the Fifth street side, and the rear
of the residence was badly scorched
before the flames were extinguishe1.
The furniture was all removed by vol
unteers, but was considerably damag
ed by water.
This blaze forcibly reminds citizens
OF the need of chemical engine. Had
an apparatus of this sort been avail
able, the damage to the premises would
have amounted to practically nothing.

tions made by the state tax commits
sion after the roll was supposed TO be

for collection. The action, which is en-
titled Bliss, ct al, vs.. Hoenstine, ct al,
