The Itching and Sting
of Blazing. Fiery Eczema

Seems Like the Skin Is on Fire.
There is harrassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost be-
comes a torture. The itching is al
most unbearable, and the skin seems
on fire with the burning irritation.
A cure from local applications of
salves and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only al
lay the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by going deep
down to its source.

RANGER, Texas, Feb.13.-The
little one-room frame house Of wor-
ship of the Merriman Baptist church
here, a building furnished with home
made benches and pulpit, Imprinted
and unweatherboarded, and used by
the pioneers of the Baptist faith for
the past thirty years, is no more. 1t
has been demolished by the unani-
nous consent Of it's twenty-nine
members and temporary tabernacle
erected instead.
Where the little church which so
long weathered the droughts and dis
asters of the West once stood, oil
derricks have been erected and soon
oil will be gushing where for years
the word of God was heard. In
stead of bein a struggling institution
whose pastor was either pounded
monthly or boarded with the MEM
bers, while he drew a salary quite in
significant, the Merriman church to-
day is the richest Baptist church IN
America. It is a millionaire over
and over, but as yet is unable to de-
termine the exact extent OF Its
wealth.
Some old pioneer left few acres
of land for the little church and a
graveyard fifty years ago. A few
months ago the church found itself
in the center of the greatest oil field
in the West. That tells the tale Of
its sudden wealth.
Strike Oil on Church Land.
When oil was struck at Ranger the
members of the Merriman church de-
cided to lease few feet of its land
in order to obtain money to repair
The building. The deacons were bus
mess men and inserted royalty"
clause in the license. Oil was struck
and the church's royalty to date has
been more than a half million dol
lars.
This week the church refused a
cool million dollars in cash for a
lease on it's graveyard. The men,
bers declared there is not enough
money in the United States Treas
ury to cause them to disturb the rest
ing place of their departed members.
Tall derricks now surround the lit
tie group of tombstones and streams
Of oil are pouring forth on four sides
of it. No plea will make the deacons
Of the church lease the graveyard.
The Merriman Baptist church is
not boarding its money. 1t is not in
vesting it in other oil leases for the
purpose of becoming richer. The
deacons, the pastor and members are
satisfied with the income and are dis
tributing it among the Baptist insti-
buttons of the South.

Monday, April 21st, is the day that
has been set for the big Victory loan
drive in Crawford county, when the
residents of this county will be called
upon to buy their share of the countys
quota. NJ. 10. Jones, chairman OF the
Liberty Loan committee OF Crawford
county, received notice last week from
John A. Cavanagh, of Des Moines,
chairman of the quota committee of
Iowa, that Crawford's quota is ST.
223,O25. The quota on this drive is
somewhat less than that of the fourth
loan and leaders are of the opinion
that Crawford will go over the top on
the first day. The quotas of the other
counties in the fifth district, of which
Crawford is one, appear at the head of
this column

BLOCKS PAVING
City Council Will Take Preliminary
Steps Toward Paving Many
Blocks Next Spring.
MAY LET CONTRACT THIS FALL
Sewer and Water Connections to be
Made, Street Grades to be Estab-
q, iished-Engineer Starts Plans.

Activities at the city hall the past
few days would indicate willingness
on the part of the council to lift Den
ison from the mire and place her along
side other cities of the state that have
dissolved partnership with King Mud.
That Denison's streets and alleys need
paving, has been thoroughly dem
onstrated this spring, and II present
plans of the city council nateriallze,
more than eighty blocks will be paved
next year. 1t would be impossible to
pave this amount this year, inasmuch
as none of the preliminary work mas
been done. -; .:.-. -.
We understand the council has TAX
en- the matter up with competent en-
gineers, and plans and specifications
will be drawn, and the necessary pre-
liminar,e steps taken SO that the con-
tract for paving may be let during the
late summer or early fall, and the act
ual work of paving start early in the
spring Of 1920. Many of the streets
where paving is contemplated, will
have to be graded and filled, water
and sewer connections made, and in
number of instances, water pipe and
sewer pipes laid. This in itself will
take up the greater part of this year.
After the plans are drawn, the pre-
liminary notices must be published,
and sufficient time granted those
property owners who might see fit to
object, in which to file complaint. Then
comes the advertisement for bids, and
this takes time. 1t may be possible. to
let the contract late during the sum
mer in order that the contractor build
the curbings this year. With the curb
ing out of the way, all the paving
could be completed in 1920. Eighty
blocks of paving is considered suffi-
cient job to get the best contractors
bidding and il the contract was let this
fall, more bidders would compete, as
an assurance of a contract for the fol
lowing year lis worth something to any
contractor.
The streets now being considered
for paving are as follows, ,s,:. e.3
East broadway from the Shaw Van
residence east to the Chris Olson cor
ner, Chestnut street from the Judge
Conner residence east to the VIZ. Lor-
enzen corner; Washington avenue

quota, Personal solicitation will mo- t
be resortNd to in this drive only III
such cases as the local committee sc e
fit to eXerc Use.
Each individual will be expected to
subscribe for bonds in the proportI on
to their wealth so that it will not be
a hardship for anyone.
AS in the last drive, the ladies of
the county will! take a promine mt
part. Their organization covers ev-
cry township and town in the county
and they are pla ming on a most in
tensive campaign.
Victory Bonds Very Attractive
AS announced M onday by Secretary
of the Treasury Glass, the Victory
loan will be for 81, 5OO,0OO,OOO, which
is lust three-fourths of the six bill ion
quota of the fourth issue. The an
nouncement Of the amount OF this loan
came as surprise to most everyone
for it had been generally expected the
amount would be considerably larger.
This loan takes the form OF 81
per cent convertible notes maturing
in four years with the treasury reserv-
ing the right of redeeming them in
three years. The notes, which will be
EXEMPT from state and local taxes,
except estate and inheritance, and
from normal federal taxes, will be con-
vertible into ga per cent notes ex-
empt from all federal, state and local.
taxation except estate and inheritance
taxes. Over subscriptions will be re-
jected and allotments made on gratl-
uated scale similar to that used in tn e
first loan.
The interest rate of Sd per cent
is the highest borne by any OF the war
loans, but is lower by a per cent than
the rate said to have beeen urged by
financial interests.
This will be the last Liberty loan,
although there may be other issues OF
government securities to finance be-
lated war expenses. These, however.
will not be floated by popular cam
paigns.
None of the past issues of Liberty
bonds are convertible into Victory
loan notes, and there are no specific
provisions in the terms of the Victory
issue serving to maintain the market
prices on the past issues.
Now Up to Crawford -
It is now up to the citizens of Craw-
ford county whether or not our excel
lent war record is to be maintained.
Crawford did not fall down on a single
war measure and while the demands
were great at times they were met
cheerfully and willingly by the ma,
jority Of our people.
The war is now over, but the gov
eminent has some obligations to meet
and it is necessary to float this loan.
Many okour Crawford county boys are
still in the service and many, OF them
still in Europe 1t; is up to us to see
that.these boys. are provided with their

PURE BREEDERS
HOLD MEETING
Directors Of Crawford County Breed
ers' f.ssociation Held Meeting
Last Saturday Afternoon
IN FAVOR OF A SALE PAVILION
Idea Of Combination Sales Suggested
ard Hope Expressed That Deni-
son Might Provide Pavilion

A meeting Of the directors of the
fCrawford County Breeders Association
was held at the Office of County Agent
John Quist in the court house Satur-
\ day afternoon. The meeting was we'll
attended and considerable important
\ business came up for discussion.
Plans were suggested for the en-
l larging of this new association by Sc
curing the membership Of every pure
| bred breeder in the county, 1t was
4 decided to divide the county into dis
tricts and each director to personally
solicit every breeder in his district
and in this manner explain the bene-
! fits to be derived from the association.
There are already seventeen members
of the association who have paid their
dues for the enusins year.
A general discussion developed in
regard to the pure bred industry in
the county and how it could best be
improved and developed. 1t was
brought out that many breeders are
selling inferior stock both in auctions
and at private sale which hurts the
industry as a whole. Breeders present
at the meeting were of the opinion
ChaC lii1Ci 1oI StlOulu US lildl-
keted rather than to sell them ITO
brother breeders, and by so doing i'm
prove the quality of the breeding
stock. ~
The merits Of the auction sale as
compared with private sales of dis
posing of pure bred stock was discuss
ed pro and con, those present being
about equally divided on the subject
1t was suggested that combination
sales be held from time to time which
would help breeders who do not have
large herd to dispose of their surplus
stock.
Breeders present expressed them
selves as in favor of a sale pavilion
centrally located for the holding of
pure bred stock sales and hoped that
the citizens of Denison would provide
such building @
The directors discussed as how best
to advertise the live stock industry of
Crawford county in order to interest
buyers from distance. It was sug-
gested that the association advertise $
in some of the big farm publications.
Several present were in favor Of pub
fishing a ca.talog for general distribu.t
ton which would contain the adver:
tisements of the breeders who desired
to use its pages. % '.'" - H"1a 1875
