From moderately pleasant weather
last Sunday the thermometer rapidly
fell until the freezing point was
reached, when sleet set in about bed
time and continued all night and
greater part of next day, until the
ground was covered to q depth Of
nearly an inch. The cold spell lasted
all week and the sleet did not entirely
disappear until the following Satur-
day. The weather cleared on Monday
evening and moonlight nights pre-
vailed, presenting a beautiful scene,
rivaling the artists skill as the soft
rays of the moon shown on the crystal
sleet which formed carpet on lawns
and roofs.

strength, to the other shore; destined
TO win the admiration and gratitude
of the world.
Since l have learned what war
means, I have thought much OF their
splendid courage, and the stupendous
sacrifice our country demands; and
yet here in this atmosphere one
feels unutterably proud that we are
i'm the war, because we have such
men: and here too we feel more
than ever the pain of it all. Hereto
fore only a certain wistfulness has
been mingled with the pride of giving
so much for the cause, but now as the
purple pail of twilight shadows creep
DER the camp they are drawn into the
valley of dependency, for it is that
break with home and country that is
the hardest trial they have had to
bear. But no: one by one the stars
come out and CLEAN like tapers thro'
the long watches of the night, their
magic rays falling DER the camp like
a benediction, and with the first faint
plush of dawn, the spirit of resolution
rises anew in every loyal heart. Feel
ing as they never felt before the pride
of country and our flag, they dedicate
themselves to the great task before
guardians of our ma
tional honor!
Farewell is a word oft spoken and
soon forgotten, but when we say 1t

District Is Far Behind
In Subscriptions to the
Treasury Certificates

Dallas. Tex. March fs.-The total
subscriptions at the close OF business
Monday for this issue Of treasury GER
tificates was S4.59O.500. The number
OF banks participating in this sub
scriptiou was z35. The total nun Der
Of banks in this district Is 1900. The
total for the same number OF days Of
the last issue was $16.119.00O. Of
which s11.l19.000 was subscribed By
the bankers and business men The
total number OF subscriptions at the
same period was received from 500
different subscribers. These figures
are announced by Nathan Adams. di-
rector Of sales for the 18th federal
reserve district.
In an appeal 70 bankers OF the dis
trict. Mr. Adams says:
The importance Of subscribing for
treasury certificates cannot be over
estimated and the time for the sub
seription is now We cannot hope to
reach the quota OF $4,000, 600 unless
every bank IN the 18th federal reserve
district IS a subscriber. Those in the
more prosperous sections Of the state
must respond to more than the quota
asked By secretary McAdoo- The in
vestment in outside Commercial paper

should not be INDUCED in b. bankers
when they realize that the money
needed by the government OF the
United States is for the purpose OF
feeding and clothing the boys who
are in France and who are going 70
France.
This district at the present minute
is wOefully short OF the amount asked
for by the treasury department and
hope that the bankers who read this
article win increase their subscrip-
tons and induce the bankers in their
respective neighborhoods TO make a
subscription. Patriotic kilograms do
not mean anything and can be OF no
real value unless the name is on the
dotted line Banks in the drouth
stricken sections OF Texas can send
a subscription and have their name

from today on we viii receive sub

stop To raids by Mexican bandits

effective method Of pursuing them
while the trail was hot and killing All
who were not fleet Of foot
This method Of handling the Dor
