DISTRESSING NEWS
A message was received here
Monday by Mrs. J. H. Bolin
from Mrs. W. L. Newsom at
Daingerfield, stating that the
latter's son, Bradfield Newsom,
was desperately ill in Buenos 1
Aires, South America, and not!
expected to I've. He is suffer- j
ing from kidney disease.
Mr. Newsom was reared in!
Jacksonville, and was employ-1 tion
ed for a number of years in a ! equal to 90 per

New York, where he was
trained in the National City j

expected that the sum involved
for this y ear's marketing opera-
tions will run somewhere be-
tween 85,000,000 and $10,000,-
000.
"The effect of the secondary
loan by the Federal Farm
Board," the announcement con-
tinued, "yill be to permit the
co-operative association to
make final settlement with the

to the market at a time when
buyers may already be over-
supplied.

in an orderly fashion as the

Carl Williams of Oklahoma,
representing cotton interests
on the board, in commenting
on the announcement, said
"this is just exactly what the
cotton growers want."
The board, he said, was
ready and willing to go as far
a.s the cotton growers might
want on such a basis.
FOREST SERVICE BEGINS
FALL FIRE WORK
Austin, Aug. 17.—The auto-
matic tax board agreed to levy
30 cents on the $100 for ad va-
lorem purposes today and fixed
the Confederate pension allow-
ance at 7 cents, the constitu-l
tional limit, but failed to agree
on a figure for -chool purposes,
in an attempt to fix the state
tax rate.
The ad valorem rate for the I
• >;, t year was 22 cents and the
constitutional limit is 35 cents.
T1 " levy for school purposes
wi:s 35 cents, the constitutional
limit, making the rate 64 cents
for the past year. Should the
levy for school purposes be
left at 35 cents the rate for the
year would be 72 cents.
It was not stated when the
board would meet again to try
to reach an agreement on the
levy for school purposes.
It was reported that Gov-
ernor Moody had contended
for lowering the 35 cents levy
for the schools, arguing that
the $3,500,000 balance now in
the treasury to the credit of the
school fund would be more
than enough with the 35 cents-
levy to provide an apportion-
ment of $17.50. The board
heretofore has always set the
school rate at the constitutVin-
al limit.
