Elevator, is located at Wichita Falls
The buying for the entire system is
handled from the local office and a
100000 bushel elevator is used for stor
ing wheat There are other elevators
located in the city which bring the stor-
age capacity to 100000 bushels. This
is the grain center for the couR,y, which
in 1914 produced 2OO0oO0 bushels, or
one-tenth of the entire wheat crop OF
the state OF Texas
Railroads have PLAYED a very mate
rial part in the development of the city
and the shops and yards here give en-
ployment TO a large number OF men, in
addition to those engaged in the actual
operation of the freight and passenger
service The Northwestern shops are
located in North Wichita, section Of
the city which is a town in itself like

GUS Northern Texas City,
(By p. MEARS.)

It's a far cry from the little Indian
and cowboy trading post at the tails
OF the Wichita river, from which the
city Of Wichita Falls took its name, TO
the bustling factory and industrial cen
ter OF 1900 inhabitants, with a huSi-
ness district covering IS blocks, with
miles of paved streets. and numerous
factory and railroad additions.
But this transformation is due solely
TO the development OF the natural re-
sources Of the town and country. When
Wichita Falls is mentioned one thing is
thought of first, the oil field. But there
are five separate fields, all having large
numbers OF producing wells and Wich-
ita Falls is the natural center OF each
one. with the supply houses and offices
located here This city is made the dis
tributing point for the crude and refined
products,
Many Oil Wells.
There are 1850 producing wells in the
county, averaging 25 barrels each The
average is thus low because Of many
shallow producers making only five or
ten barrels a day. This oil brings in
an annual revenue of 81 100000 and in
the industry there are about 1900 men
employed. Scarcely less important are
the gas fields Forty wells produce more
than 6O0000lO0 cuhic feet daily Two
gas companies distribute thi, gas as
fuel for domestic and manufacturing use
as far south as Dallas and 10 all inter-
mediate parts, in addition TO supplying
Wichita Falls factories with fuel.
There are two rcilucries here. the
Wichita Valley and the Panhandle re-
fincry, each with a capacity of approx
ma,ely 600O0 barrels monthly
The cheap fuel, oil and gas and coal
supplied from the Newcastle mines in
the Wichita Falls trade territory has
attracted manufacturers and there arc
now IS different factories located here,
REFRESHING an investment OF 5000
0O0 with an annual output valued at
SO00000 and monthly payroll OF
$4,000 for iS0N employees,
Automobiles Made.
One Of these factories is the Wichita
Motor factory. the home of the Wichita
truck. which is now doing duty on the
Russian war front, and in France and
Great Britain Foreign orders are fully
as great as domestic and the factory has
had several large war orders in the past
year Just at present about 100 trucks
are being turned out monthy.
Another Wichita Falls product is the
Rail Brothers jar. This factory en-
ploys more than 200 workmcn and

plants that add their share to the ao
tivi,y and life of the city, employing
anywhere from five to seventy-iive men
Those include foundry. marble works
mattress factory, ice factories, whole
sale hardware, planning mills, sash and
door factory broom factory brick yards
cotton congresses, creamcrics, ice
cream plant, candy factories and manu-
featuring opticians.
Not the least of the Wichita Falls in
stitutlons, and one that has made many
OF the others a possibility, is the cham
ber OF commerce, an organization with
900 members, 1t has a yearly budget OF

MY FIRST PARTY is ARRANGED
(Conciuded)

"Wot you tink, Missis Graham" she
said excitedly, I'VE all forgot every
thing today Noting for tomorrow din
ner. Plenty for breakfast. Ham here,
eggs, grapefruit, everything, and l
make cream pie for dessert tomorrow,
but no meat, no salad, no vegetable.
/ take me basket, go queeck before
market closes. Vot you Want?"
why, Katiet aren't you afraid Of
the man with the black beard who
frightened you the other night?" ask
ed slyly. / knew thai she had invent
ed the man so that would allow her
to sleep in the apartment instead of
going to the miserable tenement on
the East side where her cousins lived,
but she was SO transparent, l really
could not resist asking the question
solely to see how she would answer
it
81 tink he no dere now" Katie de-
clared unblushingly "He no see me
last night, he tink / move away, he
no come tonight"
Every well, Katie, if you are not
afraid you may go. Please post this
letter on the way"
'All right" Katie put ii carefully
tell me vot you want for dinner"
Can you open oysters, katie?"
"Me? / can do everything"
"Then stop at the fish market and
get a dozen oysters, M Graham is
very fond Of them On the half shell.
Then get small leg of lamb, the
smallest nice ore you can find; can
of peas, bunch of fresh mint, or a
package of the dried mint and all the
things for a combination salad, head
of lettuce, two tomatoes, c, cucumber,
two green peppers, two punches Of
radishes-we will have dish of those
separate from the radishes- and a
bunch of those little scallions which
look SO green and fresh. Are you sure
you can remember all those things"
'Me? l neVaire forget noting" de-
clared Katie proudly, if ungrammati-
cally, as she started for the door.
The telephone rang before she had
opened the door wait until answer
this. KATIE l said as | took down the
receiver.
Lillian Gales voice sounded in my
ears.
81 don't suppose you ever want to
hear of US again. she began gayly,
and | reflected grimly that as far as
my own feelings went she was speak
ing the truth But of course ordinary
courtesy made me interrupt her.
"You ought to know better than
that" assured her, and hated myself
for the evasion.
Il am SO glad she said. "You GER
tainly had good reasons for a crouch,
and it's awfully sweet of you not to
cultivate one. But l called you up to
see if you would forgive us and come
to play with US tomorrow night. Well
promise to behave, Just go out to a
little shack somewhere. and get &C
quainted."
I did some rapid thinking as list
ened to her words and came to a sud-
den decision. l knew l would have to
spend an evening with these people
soon. | resolved to have the meeting
in my own home where, to a certain
extent, could control the situation.
Il have better plan than that" I
said, and put as much enthusiasm in
my voice as l possibly could muster.
Suppose you and Mr.. Underwood
come over here tomorrow night D1cky
isn't here just now, but when he
comes in I'll ask him if there aren't
two or three more of his friends who
would add to the gayety of nations,

it later. He said he would be satisfied

SPANS NOTE CALLED MILD.
So-Called Threat is More or Less in the
Nature of an Appeal.

Amsterdam, April 26.--Spain's pro-
test to Germany against sinking OF her
vessels, the text of which was received
from Berlin yesterday, was milder in
tone than had been expected.
Despite previous negative replies"
the note asserted, Spain trusts that
Germany win earnestly appreciate the
significance of the note and in the flu
ture will be guided by regard for our
sesmen's lives and the safety OF our
ships, and, fully approaching SPANS
difficult economic situation, will enter
into discussion regarding the measures
which might be taken within the limits
of military necessities for mitigation of
those difficulties"
Concerning this hint at discussion, it
was semi officially stated from Berlin
that Germany was prepared SO to nego.
tate.
The only phrases approximsting the
terms OF sharpness in the note were
those detailing SPANS grievances and
the dangers of the submarine warfare,
and concludes.
"If the imperial German government
persists in adherence to its determine.
tion tof submarine warfare, it must
not be astonished if Spain emphasizes
the right to defend her own life"
