Reports Indicate
Business Cond-
tons Improved

Reports from sources which are
considered reliable indicate that
there is a general revival of business
throughout the state. They show a
feeling Of confidence on the part Of
the people from the farms to the fac
tories. They show crop conditions TO
be good, live. stock to be in excellent
shape, and harvests satisfactory. In
dustrial plants are increasing their
forces, closed mills are reopening.
and trade is picking up. West Texas
has generally had a good crop season
and plans are being made by the
farmers in this section for intensive
efforts the coming season. East Tex
is is more confident and the farming
and lumber industries in that region
are looking forward to resumption of
good business in short time, the con-
ditions having shown improvement
for several weeks.
Summer sales by the merchants
have stimulated activities in retail
sales. Numbers OF merchants are
now in the markets purchasing their
fall stock Of goods.
High priced merchandise that was
III l0t StpftS has Dttil Ituuttu 70 a
minimum, and merchants anticipst- !
ing heavy fall business are buying
stocks Of goods, believing that this
falls business will reach normal
base
The prospects of the cotton crop
is about 80 per cent normal, the poor
being due mainly TO a cut .
in acreage and the presence of the
boil weevil in unusual numbers in
sections Of the state.
A large yield of truck crops has
been beneficial TO business IN many
places. The largest acreage Of corn
ever planted in the history of the
state promises a heavy production.
Climatic conditions generally have
been favorable TO growing crops.
Wheat harvest in the South Plains
is rapidly drawing to a close. Prac-
tically all of the shocked wheat has
been threshed and the separators are
now working on the stacked wheat
in some parts Of the territory.
The average yield throughout this
section is about twelve bushels.

right longer to withhold these regula-

Deciding MOTTO await longer the
passage of the pending anti-beer bill
by congress, Mr.. Mellon issued rigid
regulations for the manufacture of beer
by Authorized breweries and it's sale by
druggists upon an authorized, physi-
cianS prescription. Not more than
two and one-half gallons of beer may

Ths revised regulations limit the pre-

"The Issuance of the beer regula-

probable that legislation would be en-.

age to those interested; and this view
appeared to be acquiesced in by them,
