 If # is so that an agreement has Naen reached concerning the tax revis- ion programme 1t is just what the country expects Called into special ~=syion in order to put through tax re- vision congress has done a great many otehr things, in most instances neccs- sary and important things, but there st.ll hangs fire that legislation for which fae country is looking. It needs to he met in a firm, fair and sensible man. ner.
 Credit belongs to the president for the large volume of business that has been disposed of, the insistence upon put ting through the tax revision bill and
 the placing of it before other business that can wait, and when he now main tains that this Is time to think about another recess he Is sure to have the ap- -roval of the country in the stand that he takes

KRAMER ORDERS
 LIQUOR CENSUS Result Will Determine Length of Ban Against Withdrawal
 of Intoxicants
By Associated Press

Washington, February 3.--A census Of
 all liquor in the possession of wholesale
 druggists in various parts of the coun- try has been ordered by Prohibition Com
 missioner Kramer to determine how long
 the present ban against withdrawal of
 intoxicants from bonded warehouses shall
 remain in force.
 Orders have gone out to all federal
 prohibition directors, internal revenue of
 ficials said tonight, to submit to prohi-
 bition headquarters here an estimate of
 the amount of liquor in their districts
 free from bond Returns from the di-
 rectors are expected within the next
 week.
 When the result is known, officials ex- plained, they will be able to determine
 how long the stoppage of withdrawals can continue without interfering with stimulants prescribed for sickness. Exception to the general refusal to issue withdrawal permits allowing retail druggists to obtain five eases of liquor. prohibition officials said, applies only to the sale by wholesale druggists from their stocks '.on the floor in their es- tablishments.
 When this supply is exhausted. officials declared, provision will have to be made to enable the wholesalers to replenish their stocks for the benefit of the re- tailers and the length of time within which the stocks on the floor will last can be estimated when the various dl- rectors estimates are received. Another step to tighten the screws on the illegal distribution is under con sideration by the chiefs of the prohibit tion enforcement department officials said, through the application of the terms of the national prohibition act which permits action to be brought in the name of the commissioner of inter- nal revenue or his deputies to restrain the manufacture or sale of intoxlcants 1 Under present procedure, they added such actions are brought by the various district attorneys. but through the crowded condition of the dockets oi the courts and the many demands on the services of these attorneys, action { Is frequently delayed.
 The commissioner or his deputies under the act. officials said. can pro. ceed in equity against legal sales and manufacturers without the necessity oi waiting upon the convenience of dis l trict attorneys. Adoption of this meth | cd would require the employment oi lawyers and deputies, however. they added, and consumn.~kion of the plan may have to be deferred until tho amount of the prtiibiticS appropria. tion is known.
 l Complaint against Attorney Genera 1 Palmer's ruling forbidding issuance ol withdrawal permits to wholesale liquoI
 dealers was received at the department of justice today from Pennsylvania. lr that state. 1t was explained. the law re- | ouires a wholesale druggist to take oul Ia license as . wholesale liquor dealer and as such, under the Attorney Gen.
 erals opinion. he cannot withdraw ol
 sell liquors.

MADE FLAG OF FROCKS

told of girlhood days similar to those painted by novelists who recorded the romance of the old south.
 MADE FLAG OF FROCKS
 When war was declared and the Nashville boys were preparing for their entry into battle the brilliant belle took several of her silken frocks and fashioned company flag with her own hands and presented 1t to the com pany, as they marched by the old Nor gan mansion. Old letters, yellowed with years, tell the story of valiant fight for this flag, one standard bearer after another being slain. but the ban ner always rescued. And now the once gay bits of silk, faded and aged hang in the capital al Nashville. to gether with the other treasures of the days when Tennessee was making his- tory.
 Her marriage to Col. William z. Sherrod took place in 1866, after the gallant young officer had performed signal service to the Confederacy, and for 26y years the family lived in Ala bama on cotton planation near Flor ence. Colonel Sherrod was a member of the famous Charleston convention. and also the Baltimore convention. his support of the union Sersis sting until ONcAy iHcdHS IdIleu ana secession was upon the south. Then he immediately went into the army and took part in the southern campaigns until the wars close. He was a member of the Forty first Congress and is responsi- b'e for the passage of the Southern Pacific railway bill
 Twenty-eight years ago the family moved tc Wichita Fa,,s.
 COLONEL SHERROD DECEASED
 Three years ago Colonel sherrod passed on.
 Though of the type that is usually found to live in the memories and glories of the past, Mrs. Sherrod took keen interest in the vital issues of the day and was entirely modern and progressive in every way. Politics. local. state and national. found her in terested, as well as did the realm of books and her opinions and views on literature, old and new. were highly valued ss
 There are many people in Wichita Falls, the young people, as we'll as those nearer her own day and genera tion, who treasured her friendship highly and prized the visits that they had with her and who feel real, pe- sonal loss in her death.
