thousands. according to figures com
piled by state officials.
Trucks are used for hauling feed
from railroad stations to the cattle
ranches. and in many cases trucks
take the place OF railroads in hauling
long distances. In periods OF long
drouth. water is hauled to the thirst
ing cattle and many ranchmen have
been known to transport their cattle
by truck from the dry areas to green
pastures.
There is hardly a cattle ranch or
farm in Texas that does not have
four or FIVE trucks. The small truck,
from one to two tons capacity, has
proved itself of greatest utility

Arthur Ryan, erstwhile assistant
cameraman for Robert G. Vignola, at
the Famous Players studio, believes
firmly that there are some things bet
ter than gold. One of these is kiss
bestowed upon him on the eve of his
departure for Yaphank, as member
of the national army, by Pauline Fred
erick, Paramount star, who will be at
the Royal theatre tonight for the espe-
cial benefit of the ladies of St. Mar
garet's Guild.
1t happened thus wise: Whenever
one of the boys at the studio leaves
for service under his country's flag,
the various members of the staff ac-
tors and others make up purse to
buy parting gift. In this instance it
was decided that money itself would
be most acceptable and Nae Fred

..'but I've forgotten 1.-THE best I can
think of is this"-she took him by the
coat lapels and while he blushed fu-
riously, kissed him squarely.
Ryan, the color of a sunset over the
Hudson, tried to stammer reply but
his tongue refused its office. Then
he made a wild dash through the
crowd and vanished. But, as he aver
red afterward, the memory of that
kiss will linger long after he has seen
the shores of old New York fading in
the distance. Its worth more than
the coin," he remarked, and the others
were inclined to agree with him.

The Ministerial association met on
Tuesday to perfect the organization
of the great tabernacle meeting. The
following committees have been ap-
pointed: Nursery, music, fraternal,
publicity, business, finance, leaving
two yet to be appointed-the usher
and personal workers committees.
The name of each committee sug-
gests the work to do. The nursery

infants and small children so that an
over-worked mother can come to the
meeting and put her baby into the
care of this committee while the moth
er can enjoy the meeting for the hour.
The baptist church building will be
used for this purpose.
Elaborate preparations will be made
for the comfort of the people and the
