To the Signal:
We left Ennis nearly two weeks
ago. We stopped over for a day at
Bowie to study conditions in the up

| Is the leading town In Montague
county though not the county seat.
There are about 1000 people there.
II has two railroads. the Denver and
the Rock Island. Bowie has had the
name of being the biggest cotton
market west of Fort Worth but this
year, because OF drouth and weevils.
Montague County, expects not more
than 1900 bales.
We visited the famous Johnson
poultry farm and saw more white
Leghorns than ever before. even at
Alien Warren's ranch. The day we
were there Mr.. Johnson was filling
an order for 500 pullets at three
dollars each. This farm is a source
of local pride. The people in town
are sure to tell you about IL and
about their potato curing plant and
their big crop OF peanuts. Those
people realize the importance of di-
versification The cream trade there
is a big item.
At Vernon we found a pretty and
prosperous town. The oil boom
brought on early in the year by the
supposed comig in of the Sigler we'll,
burst in about three months leaving
its impress on the fortunes OF many
people. A great number of new
houses were built and are now being
held by the grace of big investment
notes. Town lots we're sold te $500
and $1,000 and now wouldn't bring
more than three hundred dollars.
The people are still looking for oil
signs.
They have good crops there and
bankers and merchants say business
ia improving and most of tht peo-
pie are hopeful and contented.
We attended the county fair at
Vernon. saw good collection OF
farm products but the showig OF live
stock and poultry was a disappoint-
ment
Coming TO Quanah on Tuesday
we found the Hardeman county fair
Just ready to open its gates, and have
been seeing the sights there.
The Quanah folks have a good
showing OF products, considering
that the crops have been badly cut
by drouth Their cattle and hogs
show up we'll and the poultry depart"
ment embraces fine specimens OF
practically all popular strains. The
orpington, the Leghorn. the Minorca.
the Langshang. the Plymouth Rock.
and the Rhode Island Reds, are the
leading features.
Quanah claims 1000 people has
two state banks with combined de-
posts around a million and half.
We go from here tomorrow to WIS.,
it Mr.. and Mrs. Fred V. Clark and
from there to Amarillo, at 1901 Van

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
| est application of its untiring research
| is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal santa
| ton OF the drainage system of the hui
| man body as it is to the drains of the
| house.
Those OF us who ar accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
| foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
| ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as
| daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
| tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole or the internal poisonous stag
| nant matter
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well. should, each morning before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
| phosphate in 1t to wash from the stom-
ach. liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in.
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
| lamentations, gases, waste and 'acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting a large vol
une Of water from the blood ana get
ting ready for a thorough flushing Of
| all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells.
| stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
| stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is SUM
cient to make anyone q pronounced
crank on the subject Of internal San,
kation.

HOOVERIzINC
INDUSTRY SEEN
ASCUREFOR ILLS
Engineers And Labor
Committee Behind Sta
billing Movement
BY E. M. THIERRY.

AH" AORhy MARIN "a plan -
on foot to "Hooverize" industry.
1t is called by its sponsors the only
cure for industrial depression and
unemployment.
1t is the goal aimed at by the
committee of 10 of the Federated
American Engineering Societies, ap-
pointed by Herbert Hoover, its presi.
dent, now secretary of comerce in
the Harding cabinet, to make q sur
vey of industry, and find a plan to
Cnrninate waste and inefficiency.
It's the same goal ahead cf a
parallel committee Of 10 representa-
tiyes of labor unions which took a
first step at the unemployment con
ference in New York, held March 5.
Engineers are logical mediators
between capital and labor" said j.
Park Claiming, chairman of the
Hoover committee. 80 the engi-
neers' committee wants to work with
the labor men,
Industrial leaders and labor chiefs
agree that Hoover's identification
with the unemployment survey and
the attempt to find cure for indus
trial ills will have an added value
as the result of his Appointment as
secretary Of commerce.
IF we can 'Hooverize' industry the
same as we did food we can stabilize
industry and cure and prevent I'M
employment" said Charming.
Chairman Claiming is vice-presi-
dent of the Federated Engineering
Societies, of which Hoover is presi.
dent, and also a member of the Am
erican Institute of Mining and Metal
lurgical Engineers.
The engineers are driving at the

same thing labor is" said Jack Bra
don, chairman of the preliminary la
Dor conference that formed the La
Dor Committee of 16 to call the I'M
employment conference.
Bradon is also secretary of District
Nc. l, Amalgamted Metal Workers
of America. ......
Every man out of work is a waste
in industry" said Claiming. We
must eliminate that waste-stabiliZe
industry by preventing the peaks and
valleys Of booms and depressiOns just
as the Federated Reserve Bank sys
TEN has stabilized banking.
Capital is as much to blame as
labor for waste in industry. Our
survey will show where the waste
is-hcw capital it so blame for mis-
Management and inefficiency and
how labor is to blame by reason OF
working restrictions"
Charming cited a specific waste due
to labor restriction. And later in a
talk with Bradon, the labor leader
emphasized the same point.
Said Claiming: 'lf union rules
say bricklayer can only lay so many
bricks day when he actually is cap
able of laying twice as many-lt IS
waste that ought to be eliminated for
the benefit of employer and en-
ploye."
Said Bradon: "Unfair distribution
Of wages and profits is waste The
man who does the most work should
get the most money. That can be
done by a bonus system. 1t will pre-
vent waste that hurts both labor and
capital"
Charming says the Engineers
Committee Of IS hopes to give the
facts to the public-and let the pub
lie judge wherein each side is to
blame, and how the problem can be
solved.
Unemployment and industrial de-
preston will never be ended until
there is cooperation between capital
and labor" said Claiming.
Don't get the idea, from my re-
marks about a bonus system, that we
favor taking over the factories"
said Bradcn, "What we want is CO.
operation"
Unstahilized Conditions.
Charming said the engineers sur
vey would show the unstabilized
condition Of many industries. He
pointed to iron mining as most stable
of all, and the garment industry as
