The Federal Reserve bank at Dallas
gives out a reoprt of business conditions
IN Texas which shows Enthusiastically that
his state ~ prosperous and that war and
threats OF war have had on appreciable ef-
feet upon business here.
There was a time when Texas was prac-
ucalIy dead In the month of April. All the
cotton had gone to market-and there was
nothing else 10 sell. The farmers had paid
all their money to the credit merchant. The
credit merchant in turn had paid all his
money to the wholesaler who was to ear
ry him through another year. The only
business transactions Of note were those
which took place III the bankruptcy courts
and there were many of them.
The Dallas bank reports that for this
month Of April there were in Texas only

MILITARY .MAN OF THE HOUR"
Fort Worth Record.)


Major General John J. Pershing will
command the first division of regulars TO
be sent to France ut the earliest practical
date. This is the answer of America TO
Frances plea that the Stars and Stripes
be carried to the fighting front without
delay to hearten the soldiers battling there
with concrete evidence that q powerful al
Ily has come TO their support against
Prussian autocracy.
General Parshing is a West Pointer. n
MiSsourian by birth. a fighting soldier Of
the line, an idol of the regulars. lie l.
every inch a man. an officer and a gentle
man. He was given his first high promo
Iiion by Theodore Roosevelt when the noted
Rough Rider was president of the United
States; he was jumped. over the heads Of
his senior officers, and biting criticisms
were made that Pershing was a parlor sol
der. that he had married the daughter of
the chairman of the senate committee on
of the president of the United States. II l.
the irony of fate that Theodore Roosevelt
was the president who was 80 roundlv
censured at the time for his advancement
of the dasbing soldier who had married
the daughter of Senator Warren of Wyom-
ing.
Critics were mistaken: editors who crit
ici>ed Roosevelt were mistaken. PerShing
made good wherever he was sent and
wherever decisive action was necessary.
His brother officers admired him. his
soldiers loved him. War correspondents
become his friends on account of his splen-
did qualities of heart and mind and from
the hour that Theodore Roosevelt started
him on his way Pershing's star has been
in the ascendant and now 10 him falls the
coveted honor of commanding an Ameri-
can division of soldiers of the republic of
French skies, they will pay the debt that
all Americans owe the France of Lafay-
cite and Du ~Rochambeau.
Pershing and Funston were comrades in
arms. Persh;ng and Funston brought or
der out of chaos in Mexico. Funston
closed his eyes in death when his sword
was needed the most and Pershing. anoth-
err westerner, filled the gap, and now he
has the glory of leading an cxpeditionary
force across the seas TO strike a blow for
the rights of man and the democracy of
the world.
American soldiers are needed i'm France:
American supplies are needed there.
France is fighting the most heroic fight of
history TO preserve liz national life and to
keep unsullied its national honor and TO
keep undimmed the glories of old.

SAVING TOMATO SEED on THE
FARM

College Park. Aug. S0.--It is the Gus
tom with tomato growers to buy their
seed from the market This has been
done, but often times with consider
able loss to the grower. The seed. OF
course. can be secured in this way at
little cost, which no doubt, has appeg-
ed 10 the growers more than anything
else: however, there is another con-
sideration in this connection. The
seed bought upon open market may
have come, and often does come from
plants that are more or less diseased.
The plapts may not only be diseased.
but they are in many cases weak and
unprolific This is especially true Of
seed that is saved from the general
run OF tomatoes at the canning hoases
and hundreds OF pounds Of seed are
saved every year by this method.
A muchlbetter way to secure good
tomato seed is to save 1t from the best
plants in the field. This can be done
by marking the plants with a stake
about the time they begin to ripen
fruit and by gathering the fruit from
the marked hills separately. This seed
ds squeezed out into a barrel or the
whole fruit Of the tomatoes them
selves placed in the barrel and crush
ed. after which water is added to the
contents, and allowed to stand for two
or three days, or until fermentation
takes place, at which time the pulp
will rise and the seed will sink to the
bottom. The water is then poured off,
together with whatever pulp may be
removed with the water, and a fresh
supply of water added. After stirring
the contents, allow It to settle and
pour on again This pay be repeated
until the seed is fairly clean, after
which II is removed and spread out to
dry in a place where birds and mice
cannot feed upon it.
Some Of the Gamers OF the State are
cooperating In this good work by pay
Ing either the usual price Or W Thin a
few cents of the usual y. i 'Ss the
seed tomatoes, and ~ allow the
grower to take home pilb n the
seed. This can be done very well
where the Gamer puts up a pulp or a
catsup.
Seed saved as suggested here will
yield very good income on the extra
expense Of saving 1t.
This is not q new theory. but a
demonstrated fact, as many Of the
growers are now practlcing 1t. This
method of improving the crop has al
ready been applied to other crops such
as potatoes, in which case the seed is
saved by the hill method. and seed
corn saved in the tield, and wheat in
which the plant berry is selected from
the most prolific strains, thus produc
ing higher yielding strains and
varieties.

All beekeeping operations previous

object the securing Of the greatest pos.

work when the flow starts. A colony
cannot be too strong in field bees at
this time. However. the condition of
the colonies previous to and during

automobile accident, accompanied per-
haps by fatalities, but for the protec-
ting care. of Divine Providence, &C.
Cured on Wednesday night, near the
compress, at st. Joseph, when Ford
car, driven by Master Albert Guthrie,
and containing four young ladies-his
two sisters, Miss Bessie and Miss Sadie
Guthrie, and their guest, Miss Daisy
Turner of Claiborne county, Miss, and
Miss Alice Durbin of Bombay, struck
a COW that was crossing the road and
completely turned turtle, pinning all
five under the car so effectually that
none could be extricated until the car
was'lifted. Luckily when the crash
occurred the cries of the distressed
were heard at the depot by number
who were awaiting the train, and as
sistance was promptly rendered and
the unfortunates were gotten out from
under the wreck, none very seriously
injured, but four at least more or less
bruised. Just how it happened that
none were killed is indeed marvellous.
The car Is a total wreck, scarcely
piece being unbroken. Albert was
caught under the steering wheel and
was held almost immovable, while the
punctured gasoline tank saturated his
clothing and he would probably have
been cremated had the car caught fire.
All of the girls were similarly helpless
beneath the car and all but Miss Turner
were found to have sustained bruises,
while Miss Durbin received several ug-
ly scratches about her limbs and body
and suffered considerably. The in
jured were taken by Mr.. E. A. Buelow
in his car to the residence OF Mrs.
Johnston where physician was called
but examination showed no bones
broken. The clothing of all except
Miss Turner was badly torn, while hers
was scarcely soiled. 1t Is unexplain-
able how the occupants escaped more
serious injury and all should be thank
ful that none were killed.
