month which was the 18th, the sub

and also that | was going to appoint
4 q committee whose duty it would
L be to learn all Of the details rela-
i tive to establishing a Federal Farm
Loan association.

/ proposition and | venture the asser-
ton that all who attended will ver-
+ fly the remark that it was profita-
BILE. We had from the A. e M, Col
lege an expert on the subject. His
|; talk was along real practical lines.
| Judge Groce gave us the personal
/ experience of one closely related to
him which was foIceful. The Rev.
|, l.. R. Campbell of Italy told us how
they were managing hogs on his
farm and he is enthusea over the
fine hog proposition. His talk was
also along practical lines. F. S.
+ Chapman yentured few Of his char
acteristieally practical remarks on
the subject. G.. r. Schuster made
some strong points on the subject
as usual. D. d. Floyd told us how
I they we're making money in North
1 Texas raising hogs and his informa-
ton certainly was feasible. John
+ keyworth, our famous corn raiser,
! had some practical questions to ask
and advanced some good thoughts

4 Our organization has sustained a
4 sad loss in the death of Frank Haw-
/ Rins. This loss is not confined to
our organization. but to all who
knew him and far passed the con-
| fines OF Ellis county. This good
! man possessed the most admired
traits of which we mortals are heir,
We we're shocked at the sad news
as we have rarely ever been shocked
before because of his really unusual
worth. Nobility sits on the throne
