brands, but the spades are those of
agricultural designs.
The tendency Is toward smaller
brands. Branding causes cattle to
lose in weight, and the larger the brand
the greater the suffering of the cattle
and the greater the loss of weight, so
the old-time custom of great brands,
covering the whole side of a COW, Is
passing away. Hides are more valu-
able today, also. and the big brands
injure the leather.
The easiest brands to read are those
made with the stamp iron, that is, an
iron forged into the figure or charac-
ter desired. Sometimes the cowboys
encounter maverick far from head
quarters, and in the eXigency of the
occasion an iron rod is heated and q
running" brand is executed.

TELEGRAP HAS
RAPID GROWTH

The increase in the number of mes
sages was much greater-45.7 per cent
during the last five-year period and
o3.1 per cent during the ten years
from 1907 to 1917. The number of en-
ployees increased by 800 per cent be-
tween 1912 and 1917, and by $40 per
cent during the period 19O7-17 and the
corresponding percentages of increase
In their salaries and wages were 59.2
and 1912.
Inc number of telegraph offices in
1917 was 2S,S65, decrease of 60 per
cent as compared with 1912 and of
seven-tenths of l per cent as COM
pared with 1907. The total income
from telegraph traffic was sol BIZ, 567,
an increase of 74.5 per cent over 1912;
and Of 1908 per cent as compared with
1907; the income from all other
sources was $1,641 SOB; the total ex-
penses, including charges for deprecia-
ton and sinking funds, were $50 $685.
$40, an increase of 500 per cent over
1912 and of 111.4 per cent over 1907,
and the net income was $12,125, 400, an
increase of 1884 per cent as COM
pared with 1912 and of 1877 per cent
over 1907.
The par value of the outstanding
capital stock of the companies was
S1O6,360,237, a decrease of IT per
cent as compared with 1912, but an in
crease of 4 per cent over 1907.
Printing Telegraph Comes In.
The foregoing figures relate only to
commercial telegraph companies, and
thus exclude the wire and pole line
wholly owned and operated by rail-
roads, and also exclude the equipment
and telegraph business of the various
press associations which lease and op-
crate wires for dispensing news.
During the ffve-year period 1912-1917
the printing telegraph came into ex-
tended use by telegraph companies,
press associations and railroads. The
printing telegraph consists essentially
Of sending instrument equipped with
keyboard similar to that of type
writer, electrically connected with a
receiving instrument in such manner
that the latter automatically repro
duces what is typewriter on the send
Ing instrument. Without the printing
telegraph it would have been difficult
or impossible to handle the increased
telegraph business during the great
war.

NEW C TOWN..

Portsmouth. Va, May 25.-Uncle
SAM. through the United State Hous-
ing Corporation of the Department Of
Labor, yesterday opened the first
town constructed by the government
exclusively for Negroes. This model
city. built and operated by the United
States Housing Corporation, is located
at Truxton. Va, near the great naval
station at Portsmouth and is COM
prised of some 224 buildings. The
town covers approximately ninety
acres.
Officials of the United States Hous-
ing Corporation, officers from the
Portsmouth navy yard and officials of
the State of Virginia, attended the
opening ceremonies and the principal
address was delivered by L. X. Sher.
man. president of the Housing Cor
poraton. who represented Secretary of
Labor William B. Wilson.
Truxton is in every sense a mod.
ern town. 1t will accommodate 25O
families either in single or semi-de-
tached homes. Rents range from SIG
to S19 per month. There are six store
buildings within the limits of the town
which it is proposed to operate under
a stock company formed by the ten
ants. A doctor and a dentist will be
invited TO locate in the community.
Although the formal opening of the
Housing Corporations town did not
take place until yesterday, niety-siX
families have already located in the
houses now finished and applications
for homes already received insure the
occupancy of the buildings as rapidly
as they are completed. The town will
be completely finished and occupied
within the next two months.
Members of the Negro race have
taken a great interest in this novel and
model town, a very active Negro advis-
DRY committee under T. c. Irwin, super
visor of Negro Economics for Virginia,
having carried on an active campaign
among prospective tenants with a view
to establishing TruXton as a model
workers community. A high standard
has been set for the community and
plans are under way for the establish
ment of a library and other educational
features.

Notice to Agents and Customers Of

Notice to Agents and Customers Of
the Madam c. J.. Walker Manu-
featuring Company.
Madam c. j. Walkers one desire
was to perpetuate the goods and pro
ducts of the Nine. c. j. Walker Manu-
featuring Company and to that end
early in 1911 incorporated her bust
ness under the name of the Nine. 1.
j. Walker Manufacturing Company
with the main office in Indianapolis
Indiana. As such the Company has
been doing business ever since.
Two years ago, realizing that her
health was rapidly failing, Madam
Walker gathered about her experience
ed and competent employees, reor'
gained her Board of Directors and
turned over the management of her
vast business to the same. Under
this new management which is the
present management, the Company
has measured up to its reputation and
kept its products up to the high stand
ard that made the Madam c. j.. Walk
err hair preparations famous the world
over.
Because OF her wise fo%rethought,
her unfortunate passing away at this
time will in no wise affect the man
agement of the Nine. C. ]. Walker
Manufacturing Company.
Madam Walkers highly trained and
amiable daughter, Mrs. Leila w. Rob
inson. will succeed her as President
of the Company. There will be no
other changes.
