To do the right thing in the right way—to do

car and withstood the impact
with hut little damage, while the
local car. which was frame, was
almost completely demolished
The cause of the accident has not
been learned.
The two bodies wore taken to
Sherman and the injured taken to
Sherman and Denison.
Of the injured who were taken
to Denison, Ramsey R. Chapman
seems to have been the most so
riously hurt. He was cut about
the face and head and will prob
ably lose one eye.
Both cars were crowded with
passengers and when the relief
car returned to Denison witli the
injured several ambulances were
ready with physicians to carry
the injured to the city hospital
Several went direct to their
homes; where they received treat
ment.
Both of the men killed were on
the northbound local car. The
limited car, which was a steel car,
telescoped into the wooden car a
distance of eight feet. Every
seat in the local was torn up and
the passengers had to be literally
dug out. '
R. F. McGarr, motorman on
the limited, jumped and escaped
with slight injuries. Motormon
J. E. Collins stayed at his post
and had to be dug out of the de-
bris with picks. He received
many bruises and is painfully
hurt. Conductor Crane of the
limited was among the injured.
Conductor Nunn of the local es-
caped with only slight bruises.
Neither car left the track, only
the front wheels of the local go-
ing off.
Superintendent M. J. Loftus,
who was in Sherman, sent a spe-
cial to the scene of the wreck
with physicians and nurses, and
the wounded wei’e taken to Slier
man. It took several hours to
get the dead and wounded sepa-
rated from the debris. Dave Bo-
len of Denison died at Sherman
Saturday from injuries received
in the wreck, bringing the dead
list to three.
F. D. Hagan, who was instantly
killed, was a resident of McKin-
ney, where he had made his home
for the last two years. He was
a native of Kentucky and was un-
married. He owned a farm near
that place. R. F. McGarr, mo-
tor man, who jumped and escap-
ed with minor injuries, is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. M. T. McGarr
of McKinney, and was reared
there.
paign—Appointment of 50 Men in
Each Section is Proposed
Presidents of the local cotton
exchange, board of trade, asso-
ciation of commerce and several
bankers and cotton dealers of
New Orleans, at a conference
held Friday, formulated a plan of
action which they hope will give
impetus to the campaign for re-
duced cotton acreage next year
and aiding the cotton planters
now. The campaign was begun
by the Southern Cotton Conven-
tion there last week.
The idea, as expresaed in res-
olutions, is to first form a Ways
and Means committee of 50 well
known men from every section
of the country. This committee
will be instructed to organize an
executive committee to immedi-
ately begin an educational cam-
paign.
It is hoped*, according to the
resolution, in this manner to
bring into play all business and
financial forces of the country in
a systematic effort to restore the
purchasing power of the cotton-
growing states at the earliest
possible moment.

PLANO OFFICERS GET
MAN AT TORT WORTH
Prof. E. D. Shurter, state chair-
man of the University of Texas
Inter - Scholastic League, esti-
mates that the membership in
the League will in all probability
reach a thousand this year. Last
year there were 503 schools of
the state enroll'd in the league.
Among the new features that
have been added to the contests
of the League for the present
session are several that will ap-
peal especially to rural schools.
Among these are contests for
girls, both in declamation and in
athletic contests. Then, in addi-
tion to the debating, declamation
and athletic contests, will be ad-
ded a spelling contest, open to
boys and girls alike. The con-
test is expected to revive the old-
time interest in the spelling-bee
and to increase the number of
good spellers. Many people have
complained that the absence of
the old-fashioned blue-back Web-
ster speller in our school system
is the cause of defective spelling.
The decline of the spelling-bee is
probably an additional cause.
Contests in debate, declama-
tion, spelling and athletics will
be held first in local seoools, then
in counties, then in sixteen differ-
ent districts, and finally the win-
ners in the districts will meet in
a grand contest to be held next
May at the University of Texas.
Prof. Shurter has announced the
following as directors of tins dis-
trict, No. 0, composed of Collin,
Hunt, Delta, Hopkins, Franklin,
Titus. Rockwall, Raines, Wood,
Kaufman and Van Zandt:
Suserintendent, L. C. Gee,

perintendent, A. M. Blackman,
Plano, Director of Debate and
Declamation ; Principal, B. E.

by Kendrick Memorial Fund Has
Grown to $3650
The recent quarterly report of
the North Texas Epworth League
conference shows a wonderful
increase in every field of activity
but especially in the matter of
pledges and subscriptions.
For five years tin* leagues of
North Texas have contributed to
a fund to forward the missionary
movement in the foreign field.
This is the Ruby Kendrick Me
morial Fund, named in honor of
Miss Ruby Kendrick, who was
horn and raised in Plano. She
went as a missionary from the
Plano league, and took up Ihm*
work in Korea. A year later her
friends were shocked to learn of
her death there.
In 1909 this missionary fund
was started with $188 as the first
year’s contribution. The fund
has received remarkable support
and responses from the various
leagues have been so prompt that
each year has witnessed an in
crease in missionary subscrip-
tions. From the humble begin
ning of $183 the fund has grown,
until last June, just live years af-
ter its inception, the total pledge
of the leagues for one year
amounted to $3050. Subscrip-
tions for the period 1909 to 1914
amount to $7,500.
The leagues are profoundly
grateful to Miss Mary Ferguson
of McKinney, chairman of the
Ruby Kendrick Memorial Fund
To her, for the last five years,
has been duo the excellent show-
ing of collections. She reports
that the payment for the first
quarter for the year 191 1 ’15 was
$1,650, compared with $1,187 for
last year. The next quarterly
payment of $425 for work in Ko
rea is on hand and will be sent
b.y Miss Ferguson September 28,
to the treasurer of the board of
missions^ Nashville, Tenn. Not
only is Miss Ferguson able to
meet the payments to mission
work promptly, but she reports
that she has out at interest $600.
The Ruby Kendrick fund sup
ports at the present time throe
missionaries and one medical
student, all in Korea. All work
has been done in Korea; because
it was here that Miss Ruby Ken
drick laid down her life for the
work. As a special part of the
fund, the junior leagues are rais
ing money to erect a church in
Korea with a seating capacity of
150. More than half the sum
necessary to build such a struc-
ture has already been turned
over to Miss Ferguson.
The Turning Point
The turning-point in many a farm-
er’s or business man’s history is the
moment when he and his banker
come to a perfect understanding.
With character, capacity and some
capital, that other essential to suc-
cess, credit, is easily attained. The
officers of this hank desire to know
the business men and farmers of
this community in order that they
may become acquainted with their
character, capacity and resources,
and he in position to add to their
enterprise the co-operation which a
conservative hank is permitted to
