APPRECIATED LETTER

The following splendid letter from
that valued old friend of The Times,
W. P. Sebastian, is published in full,
and is self-evplanatory:
Breckenridge, Texas, Nov. 20, 1919.
Mr. A. w. Bradshaw, Pennington, Mo.
Dear Sir:-The issue Of The Times
of the 14th inst reached me yester-
day, and in glancing over the first
page, my eyes fell upon an article
headed Matter of Great Importance.
l am always glad to read about things
from the land of my nativity, and
more especially matters of great i'm
portance. | read on down through the
article and when came to that part
where you say, "each subscriber can
find out how their subscription ac-
count stands by looking at the date
on the wrapper, l dropped the paper
and commenced looking for the wrap
per, and "by Hally" found had con-
signed it to the fire. However, I
soon rallied from the dilema and con-
soled myself in the thought that l
would IMMEDIATELY send check
for renewal of my subscription, which
/ herewith hand you, feeling assured
that if am delinquent, you will for
give me this time. When The Times
reaches me l read it from "kiver to
kiver" for, as old Jim Roper used to
say, everything in it is mighty Gin
trustin" to me. | enjoy, with much
more than ordinary interest, the cor
respondence from Libertyville, Avon,
Cross Roads and Knob Lick, having
been born and reared within mile of
old Libertyville. God bless old St.
Francois and her good people. Ev-
cry subscriber to The Times ought TO
read, and read again, your article, and
then get busy.
By the way, noticed in an issue
or two back, of the Times, that you
made mention of the fact that Madi-
son county (I think) had voted good
roads bond issue of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. That SOUNDS
good for old Madison, but will you be
surprised when | tell you that this
little county of Stephens, way out in
Northwest Texas, on the 18th of this
month, voted a good roads bond issue
of three million five hundred thou
sand dollars. We are going to have
GOOD roads out here.
Let The Times keep "comin".
W. P. SEBASTIAN.
Mr.. Sebastian also sends us a copy
of the Breckenridge Democrat, Civ
ing the vote on the remarkable good
roads bond election held in that coun-
ty, showing the success of that pro-
position by 441 votes for, to SO against.
The Times fears that is one trouble
with good roads bond elections in
this country-that the amounts gen.
orally voted on is too small for the
improvements that are desired to be
made in the public highways.

ing was held, at which the arrest OF

Import Embargo On.

Washington.-In clamping an inn
port embargo on more than 800 COM
modities, the British have declared
open commercial warfare on this
country, many government officials
and Congress members held. The
new embargo has forced the fight,
which has been smoldering for days
to point where definite govern
mental trade policies must be out
lined, it was believed by many men,
bers of Congress. They assert that
the latest British action should be
met with drastic reciprocal measures
Shipping men regarded the new ban
as British lever to pry loose all
British-bound cargo for Transports
ton in British-owned ships. 1t has
been known for days that British
buyers have been coming to the
United States in flocks..
They have been buying commodi-
lies in which England already had
an import embargo. as well as arti-
cles contained in the list made pub
lie. American manufacturers who
sought to sell direct to English
wholesalers without dealing through
agents on this side have been very
affectually stopped bysnumerous sub
terfuges, reports received here show.
The British buyers have contracted
heavily and every ton of goods
bought has been taken on the express
condition that it be shipped in Brit
lsh-owned vessels.
