SECOND MARRIAGE
RE-UNITES C0UPIE
w. F. Jones and Wife, Torn
Apart During Seventies By
War Prejudices Re-marry

DALLAS, Texas, Sept. 17.-Ton
apart by bitter family prejudices
the aftermath of civil war passions,
a romance CT more than fifty years
ago has just been renewed with the
second marriage here of w. J. Jones,
of Pennington, Tenn, and Mrs. l..
F. McCarson, of Ferris, Texas.
Fifty three years ago in Tesnes-
see the couple were married. Jones
was an ardent sympathizer of the
north in the civil war, while the
parents Of his bride were southern
ers.
Harsh feelings developed a breach
between the son-in7law and the
brides parents, who shortly after
ward emigrated to Texas, taking the
bride of few weeks with them.
Jones was unable to locate his
bride and subsequently each believ-
ed the other dead. A son, c. i.
Jones of Dallas, was born after the
separation. Both were REMARKED
but lost their second mates during
the last decade.
During the illness Of Mrs. McCar-
son last winter Edith Jones, grand
daughter, believing her grandfather
alive sent letter to his old home at
Wheel, Tenn. The letter was IN
claimed and sent to the dead letter
office at Washington where it was
opened by an operative who knew
Jones whereabouts and forwarded
it to Pennington. The long separ.
ated couple exchanged letters, resul
ting in the second marriage.

HOLLANDERS RESENT
ERRONEOUS IDEAS

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 17.-Anti-
quated ideas about Holland that
prevail abroad, and often move the
present generation Of Dutch people
to mild resentment, have at Lass

A learned society which has made
thorough investigation into She
current geographical text books and
manuals used in elementary and seq
ondary schools in all civilized coun-
tries of the world, has published
a report which discloses chat most
of them are about 100 years behind
the times.
Horse drawn canal barges, for in
stance, are still given as the popa-
lar mode Of locomotion in Holland
and while references to cows and
windmills are plentiful, the books
are silent on the development Of
modern Dutch dairy farming and
other industries Of the country. In

HEAVY LOANS MADE
BY NEW FARM BANKS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.--Ac-
cording to Robert A. Cooper, com
missioner of the federal farm loan
bureau, since the date Of organiza-
ton to July 81, 1924, loans closed
by federal land banks and joint
stock land banks reached the huge
total of $1,450,512,O65.
This money, lent at low rate Of
interest, was scattered throughout
the United States The condition Of
the banks is reported by Mr.. Coop
er to be excellent. There is no
longer a fear on the part of any
body connected with official life in
Washington that the general scheme
win ultimately prove unfeasible.
Texas borrowed more money
an any other state, $140,0O0,0o0
in round numbers, although Iowa
followed closely behind with $780,,

COOPERATIVE Effort to Be Invok-

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. IA
measure to effect a national reduc-
ton in public accident fatalities by
the cooperative effort Of all national
associations whose interests touch
upon the street and highway traf-
fic problem, will be proposed at the
saftey congress to be held here
Sept. 29-Oct. 3, the National Safety
Council announces.
Among the associations to parti,
cipate are the United States

can Automobile ASSOCIATION, the
United States Automobile Chamber
of Commerce, the American Rail
way Association, THE International

Surety Underwriters, the American
Electric Railway Association and The
Mutual Alliance.
Fifteen thousand lives are lost
in automobile accidents each year
and fully rs per cent of these ac-

nouncement. Since 1910, the
death toll has been increasing at
the rate of 1000 each year and.
with the increasing registration If
automobiles resulting in street and
highway traffic problems which can
not easily be solved, it is probable
that the annual death rate may be in
the neighborhood of 10000 in 1880.
"The collection Of public accident
statistics and their analysis is prob
ably the most important phase Of ac-
cident prevention work at the pres
