In the manufacture Of explosives,
chemically pure alcohol is used to

the tens of thousands or gallons Of
absinthe scattered over the country

COTTON IN BLACKLAND BELT or
TEXAS.

The cotton In the blackland re-
glons In Central Texas promises the
poorest crop known In many years.
Since the recent storm the foliage
looks like II had been killed by frost.
The leaves have dried up and the
stalk has shed what few forms there
were. For awhile II was thought the
plant would put on new growth
but that hope has vanished and now
It Is given up that the blackland crop
will be far below normal.
The storm damage In South TeSns
has all the time been considered lr-
reparable and weeyils are taking
what little top crop might have been.
The matter OF price this year is not
a question Of supply and demand. u
will depend on access to foreign con
sumers and manipulation Of the mas
ket.
Secretary McAdoo proposes 10
leave the bankr without excuse In
the matter Of available money to
handle the crop. His proposition s
to put the money In reserve banks
to be leaned to farmers at six per
cent on approved warehouse receipts.
Some bankers seem shy about han
ding this reserve money on sneh
terms. but other bankers are pro
posing to do H. Paris bankers will
advance three fourths Of value Of
cotton at six per cent,
Now. II the banks and the buyers
in one town do this and In another
town In contiguous territory they re-
fuse to do It. II is easy enough to
see which town will get the trade.
farmers will haul their cotton tc
the town that extends the best ae-
commodatlons and lnsures the best
market
The 1915 crop is short. the world =
demand Is greater than ever, and
cooperation Of banks, merchants
and farmers IL bound to result In
unusually high prices for the cot
ton.

SETTLERS FOR WEST TEXAS.

Short crops and high priced land
In central Texas are some Of the In
fiuences now turning attention OF
the homeless people there to West
Texas. Besides these the ending OF
the war In Europe will bring an IN
precedcntcd immigration to this
country.
The heavy drain on the finances
and resources Of England. France
and seryia and Germany has made II
sure that those people will be crush
cd for many years under the weight
of TAXATION and those who can get
away are apt to seek homes here.
This will naturally increase the de-
mand for land in West Texas
Now. 1t Is wcil for land merchants
to heed the advice Of Mr.. Addison
and not try to gel rich too quickly.
lie says this country Is sure for
seven years Of prosperity. but We
should not try to rush It. Instead Of
putting prohibitivc prices on land
We should keep It In mind that other
sections OF west Texas have land to
sell and they want settlers the same
ns we do. and II We hold our land
too high. the home seekers viii 20
to the other parts Of the west.
Now would be good time for the
Chamber Of Commerce to compile a
list Of lands and flood the east with
folders telling Of inducements to be
Offered to the right class OF home
seekers
why should We not secure the CO.
operation Of owners Of ranch lands
and pool these hcldings and offer
colonization propositions. The rail-
roads would gladly provide a sched-
uie OF Homeseekers' rates and the In
flow Of settlers would soon bring to
scurry county a population Of $4,000
and make Snyder a city OF 10000.

An invasion of Greece welcomed by
the Greek people with open arms can
scarcely challenge comparison with
the tragic and bloody drive through
Belgium against the solemn protest
and heroic resistance Of a united ma
ton, but unquestionably there was
technical violation of neutral ter
ritory when the army of the allies
landed at Salonica.-M Montpelier Ar
gus.
The situation at the start was the
same, Germany asked for leave to so
through Belgium. Belgium refused
and resisted and suffered the awful
consequences. Greece took warning
from Belgiums fate and will make
money selling goods to the British
and French troops as they pass
through. England promised to pro
tect Belgium if she would fight Ger
many but failed to keep her word.
Germany promised to protect Greece
if she would resist the allies, but
Greece didn't take the chance On
the whole Greek judgement appears
to be superior TO that of Belgium, or
rather it may be that hindgight has
