TEXAS CATTLEMEN ASK FIFTY
MILLION FROM GOVERNMENT
Two Million Cattle in Drouth Strick-
en- District Need Relief.

AUSTIN, Texas.-An appeal for
an emergency appropriation of $780,
100000 was wired to President Will
son tonight to relieve the cattle in
dustry in the drouth stricken portion
of Texas. This action resulted from
a conference held this afternoon and
industrial interests of Texas and
state officials, called by Governor w.
P. Hobby.
1t is pointed out that this money
is needed as a war measure " to save
the situation, to help the farmers re-
main on the land, to provide food,
feed, seed, labor and credit"
Two million head of cattle are
said to be in the stricken district,
which is shown to embrace $50 to
$50 counties. 1t is estimated that
farmers in this district already have
been extended credit of 5000, O0O,-
600 by various sources.

EPISCOPALIANS HAVE
PROHIBITION DEBATE
BY ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE
REFUSE TO ABSTAIN DUR
ING PERIOD OF THE WAR.

NEW YORK.-A spirited debate
on the question Of national prohibi-
ton for the duration of the war was
the feature of today's session of the
diocesan convention of the Protest
ant Episcopal church. A motion by
Bishop Courtney that the convention
recommend to congress the passage
Of prohibitory law was amended so
that the proposal was referred to the
social service commission " to act
upon in the manner they deem wisest
to obtain the end in view"
Speaking on the original motion,
Dr.. Leighton Parks, rector of St.
Bartholomew church, declared that
while he was in favor Of temperance,
he believed such a law as was sug-
gested could not be enforced.
eve must now put a law on our
books" he said, " which would deny
stimulant to our boys when they lie
wounded and parched in the blister
ing sun or wet and cold in the
drenching rain"
DR.. Parks then expressed the be-
lief that the Russian upheaval was
caused largely by the enactment of
an enforceable prohibition law.
Bishop Courtney offered a resolu-
ton providing that the members of
the convention promise to abstain en-
tirely from the use of all alcoholic
beverages for the duration of the
war, and that the clerical members
of the convention urge the same act
ion upon their congregations.
Francis Lynde Stetson, law dele
gate, declared he did not believe any
convention " has the right to ask it's
members or those whom it represents
to make such a promise"
The resolution was defeated al
most unanimously.

FIGHT WEEVILS NOW.

A Washington dispatch says:
Next years boil weevils can
be fought very effectively now.
The bureau of entomology Of
the United States department
of agriculture urges that all
weeds and rubbish be cleared
out of cotton fields throughout
the South at this time. All stalks
still standing in the fields should
be destroyed by the time of
frost, or as soon thereafter as
possible. This cleaning up will
decrease the possible destruc-
ton by boil weevils next year
The species is greatly reduced
in numbers this year, but al
though the boil weevil's strength
is weakened at present, he will
try to regain some ground next
year. To destroy weeds, rub
Dish and stalks now is to de-
stroy to a large extent his pros
pective army for that drive next
season. A concerted campaign
through the South, if taken up
Immediately and pressed vigor-
ously, will save considerable
amount of cotton next summer"

.SPURNS HER SONS;
DISCOVER MISTAKES
WHITE WOMAN WILL HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH PART
NEGRO CHILDREN.

Mrs. Grace Holiday, a comely
young woman, of Chicago, has re-
nounced all claims to and interest in
her two dark-skinned boys, whom
she has thrust out of her heart. be-
cause she made the discovery that
their father was negro. He was a
city policeman and posed as a Span
lard when the young woman met
him. They enjoyed brief courtship
and were married. After several
years of home life, during which the
two children were born, Mrs. Holli-
day discovered that her husband had
negro blood in his veins. She left
him Immediately, later giving up the
children also.
The story of how Mrs. Holiday de-
clded to put away her boys came to
light following an investigation by
the juvenile detention board. A So
cial worker had picked up one of
the boys, Herbert, aged nine years,
who had returned from a stay with
his colored grandmother in Atlanta,
Ga. The grandmother said the boy
was unruly and they couldn't get
along with him.
Il always used to play with white
boys in Chicago and they said I was
Spaniard," Herbert said. II do not
like colored boys, but in Atlanta the
white boys would have nothing to
do with me and said was colored
boy. Ny grandmother said l was
bad boy and so she put me on
train and sent me back. She wrote
letter that I was coming" Herbert
then told where his real mother re-
sided.
Mother Refused to Take Him.
Herbert was taken to the juvenile
home and when Mrs. Holiday was
found she refused to take charge of
the boy.
81 want him to be adopted into
some good home far away, where
they will be kind to him, but where
l never will see him again" Mrs.
Holiday said. "My whole future de-
ponds on the separation. Little by lit
tie | have put the boys out of my
heart and have put their pIaythings
away one by one. | have taken their
pictures from the wall, and I want
the children to forget they ever had
a mother.
my mother and sisters have IN
sisted that l give them up. They do
not want the constant reminder that
arouses prejudice. Four years ago
my husbands captain came and told
me that a woman who said she was
Mrs. Holiday had telephoned that
he was ILL., | investigated and found
him with woman of his own race.
He ran away and went to his moth
er's home in Atlanta.
Mrs, Holiday, who lives with her
mother, declares that, while the re-
turn of Herbert reopens distressing
chapter in her life, she will have
nothing to do with him and that his
care must depend upon his father.

THINKS Mr.. SUNDAY is
ONE OF WORLDS WONDERS
Defends Him For Using the ideas"
OF Nations Notables.

Editor Dawson News: The article
head Charge That Sunday Swipes
His Stuff" in your issue of Novem-
Der goth does Mr.. Sunday an injus-
tice. Of course he does not need me
to come to his defense, and it does
not matter one iota with him what
The Dawson News may say. How
ever, knowing as l do that you al
ways wish to present to your read
ers matter in its true light I am
taking the liberty of informing you
that | have heard Mr. Sunday be-
fore an audience of twelve thousand
people in Atlanta at the beginning
of his campaign state that he reads
everything good he can get his hands
on and that one could hardly men
ton an author or poet in standard
literature whose works he (Mr. Sun
day. is not reasonably familiar with,
and he made it very plain that the
ideas he expressed were in many in
stances not his own originally.
To hear Mr.. Sunday one would
not doubt that he has read nearly
everything, and in his sermons he
quite often gives the author the cred
it. He has quoted George Stuart and
Sam Jones and many others and has
given them credit at the time. You,
of course, realize that in quoting so
many different people it would alb
sured for him to attempt to stop
each time and mention to whom the
credit belongs.
Of the many people l have talked
to regarding Mr.. Sunday without
exception those who have heard him
like him. Some of these people were
violently prejudiced before hearing
him, but after going to q few SER
vices they always "cOme across" and
admire him. If you have not heard
Mr.. Sunday would suggest that
you hear him and see for yourself
that he is undoubtedly the greatest
preacher of today If you miss him
you miss one of the wonders of the
world. Truly yours, J. T. Raglan.

MONEY CAN'T PAY
FOR BELGIAN LOSS
DESTRUCTION is MORE THAN
$500, zoo, 900, AND PRIVATION
GREATEST IN HISTORY.

LO4NDON, EnSidnO.- Inc WOTO
Belgium always will be the SYNONYM
of sorrow and sacrifice" is the dec
laration of E. Emile Vandervelde,
famous Belgian writer and statesman
The total suffering, the sacrifices the
people have made, he declared never
will be known to the country.
/ picture if you can what Belgium s
condition is today after three years
of war in which she has been we'll
nigh bled to DEATH" he continued.
''Her town and villages have been
burned and devastated. Her people
have been tortured and butchered.
She is desolate and drenched with
blood.
There are some things in connec-
ton with which the words, 'repara-
Jion, restitution must seem a mock
cry. Here is one, the story of which
| know to be true. A man had lived
happily with his wife ard six chill
dren. Ere long the terror Of the Ger
man occupation proved too much for
the woman. She died. On the same
day the husband was torn from the
house in which his wife lay dead and
in which his children called for the
mother who was not Straightway
the sOldiery sped him off to slavery
in Germany.
Eleven of Twenty Men Die.
Here is another. From one viii
lage 200 people were deported to
Germany. This is what happened to
one gang of twenty men. Arriving in
Germany, they were ordered to work,
and every one refused. Thereupon
they were herded and driven into
swamp and left there without either
food or attendance. Within a very
short time eleven of them died. Not
withstanding the horror of the condi-
lions to which they had been sub
jected, the other nine still refused
to work for the enemy, and in due
time they were sent back to Belgium.
Chose are but two Incidents, and
by no means the worst, in CHASTITY
program of barbarity and infamy
which can never have been equaled.
Reparation for such things is, of
course, impossible, but PREPARATION for
material wantoness is possible and
must be made.
Let us try to carry at a rough
estimate of Belgium's bill for mate
rial damage and loss. In levies alone
from the towns, provinces and the
country generally she has been fore
ed to pay annually sum far in ex-
cess of her ordinary peace budget,
total, l suppose, of about $780,
100000.
Stripped of Machinery.
"She has been stripped by the in
vader of raw material and machinery.
Horses and cattle have been driven
from her fields to those of Germany.
She has been ravished and pillaged
until practically nothing remains, and
under the heading raw material, ma
chinery, ETC., we can make an entry
in her ledger of war of certainly an
other hundred millions.
Her buildings have been shatter-
ed, her towns and villages laid low,
her roads wrecked, her lands made
unproductive for years. 1t is almost
impossible to estimate what sum will
be required for the liquidation of
that part of the debt, but let us be
moderate and say that it is anything
between another one hundred and
two hundred millions, thus bringing
the total to within reach of four hun
dred millions"

they came from.
