Graves Still in Penitentiary.
It has been the rumor all over
the country for some time past
that Bopg Graves, who was con-
victed in District court here a
year, ago for the murder of Joe
Wrotan on the East''-Plains and
sentenced to 25 years in the pen-
itentiary, was at " liberty under a
parole or.pardon. In order t® get
the facts R. D. Shaw, merchant
of our city, recently wrote State
Treasurer John W. Baker at
Austin; to know if this rumor
was a fact, and un der > date of
May 28 th Mr. Baker answers% as
follows:
of your letter I
took the matter you mention up
with the board of pardons, and
they assure me that no such par'
don has .been granted Boog
Graves, but on the contrary that
he is at present behind the bars
in the state penitentiary."
A Farmers Cooperative
The Farmers' Mutual Elevator

organized as a co-operative grain
company in 1904, to do a grain
and coal business. In 1915 their
elevator was. -destroyed by fire;

they operated for about" a year.
It was then decided to construct
an elevator that was fireprpof.
A meeting of the stockolders was
called anci many of them wanted
a mill in connection with the
elevator so that it would be pos-
sible jfor them4e exchange their
wheat for flour and save the
freight on the wheat to the ter-
minals and back on the flour.
feAfter considerable disecfssion
it was decided to install a 50-bbl.

C. C. Dana, General Freight

sent out a circular le««r asking
the farmers to make prepara-
tion to hold a part of the coming
grain crop and put it on the
market gradually on account of
the car shortage. Following is
the letter:

The bulk of it goes to the farmers
wKoare exchanging their wheat,
and many vpf them drive 35
miles to make the exchange.
They also sell flour to nearby
towns, both in local shipments
and carload lots.
Mr. .Olson reports that they1
give the farmer 44 lbs, of flour
and 15 Ids. of bran and short
?(mixed) for one bushel of No. 1
northern spring wheat and
charge 35c per . bushel for the
grinding. This will net the far-

Killing at Roaring Springs.

community,
The Mill, Company is selling all

factory, the outfit can be return-
ed to the company and every cen t
paid on it will be refunded.
We submit that: no company
could do business on these terms
unless their experience proved
to them that they could do so
with perfect safety.
We all know how mush we
need a good mill in Crosbyton.
We have been paying tribute to
distant mills, in freihgt, elevator
charges and various other middle
mens profits, to the detrimeht.of
the whole community and the
lessening of the business os this
town entirely too long. Let's not
