i&.'U., the
Special Term of the
Commissioner’s Court.
The formal opening of the
Odem State Bank’s new build-
ing was celebrated at Odem last
Saturday, and was attended by
a large^umber of Sinton people.
It was a great day for Odem and
vicinity—it being the first brick
building to be completed in the
town, and the timely speeches
made by agricultural experts.
The new bank building is one
of the finest small buildings we
have ever had the privilege of
seeing. It is well built, roomy
and furnished up to the minute,
With the latest, improved vault,
safe, adding machine, and every-
thing made convenient for carry-
ing on a banking business after
the latest, methods. The upper
floor is made into office rooms,
and &re large, comfortable, well
finished rooms, and we under-
stand all are rented. Odem and
vicinity is to be congratulated
upon having such permanent im-
provements made in the town as
it gives the impression to stran-
gers that Odem folks has confi-
dence in Odem. A News repre-
sentative was shown through the
new bank building by D. Odem
and Grant Fredrick, president
and cashier qf the bank.
W. W. Wright has. begun the
erection of another new brick
building south, across the street
The Commissioner’* Gmrt met
d roam* Wednesday,
estimated number of bales raised
in 1915, and the probable - con-
sumption, as a basis for his con-
clusions, which were approxi-
mately the same figures given bv
the speaker ^ho spoke here last
fall, but who advocated the total
elimination of the 1915 crop,
The gist of Mr. Bergman’s
speech was “live at home,” that
is, produce the living on the
farm. He says, “Plant a small
patch of cotton, buy 100 hens, 5
good milch cows, 3 brood sows,
and plant feed stuff to support
this live stock—com, kaffir,
Sudan grass, cowpeas, corn,
peanuts, or whatever your soil
is best fitted for. ” He also ad-
vocates one acre in a home gar-
den, upon which raise and can
enough vegetables to supply the
family larder uqtil another crop
is raised. Small canning outfits
can be had for from $10.00 to
$25,00, and full instructions as
to canning of all vegetables can
be had for the asking from the
U. S. Agricultural Department.
Mr. Bergman aptly put the
proposition when he said, “I
don’t mind seeing the back yard
filled with tin cads, but I do
object to seeing Baltimore and
Boston printed on. the cans—can
and consume your own products”
The good influence of the
speeches will no doubt result in
much good in the vicinity of
Odem, and we congratulate Mr.
Fredrick in his good judgment
in the selection of the speakers,

HMtodist church, several
very interesting and instructive
speeches were /made on agri-
cultural lines. The speakers were
indroduced by Mr. Fredrick, wJ*9
assured the business men and
citizens of Odem and the farmers
of the surrounding country that
the bank stood ready at all times
to help and co-operate in any
way for a better town, better
business and better crops, and,
suggested that an organization
of farmers and business men be
formed to work for that end and
offered the offices of the bank for
the headquarters of such organ-
ization.
Prof. Alvord of Portland,
manager of the Coleman-Fulton
Pastures Co’s, farms, was the
first speaker introduced, and
spoke in a very forcable way,
carrying his points with facts
and figures. He is of the opinion
that Texas farmers should con-
tinue to raise cotton, but cut the
acreage down, and intensify
farming methods so as to pro-
duce more cotton per acre, thus
giving more room for other
crops. He is convince that Sudan
is the coming crop for forage,
and advises every farmer to try
a small patch of alfalfa—just
endugh to experiment with.
B. F. Jones of Beeville was
the next speaker, and told what
the Young Men’s BusinessLeague
of Beeville was doing, and
showed plainly what benefits can
be derived by a real live organ-
ization of business men and
fanners, both to the town and
farming communities through
co-operation.

Karl Jansen in his lecture ’’The
Land of the Midnight Sun,”
given at the Methodist Taber-
nacle Tuesday night was a most
pleasing Success. His descript-
ive-powers are most vivid, fluent-
ly given, and while his* English
is somewhat broken, he has a
wonderful command of language.
Taken as a whole, we believe
the lecture was entirely satis-
factory to those attending, as
their appreciation was frequent
ly shown throughout the entire
evening. His talk was practical,
touching on a number of subj'ects
of interest to our community, es-
pecially that of physicial culture
in the schools, which was pre-
sented in a very interesting waj/.
His humor, while bright and
mirth-provoking, carried a vein
of sound sense with it, with al-
ways a, moral point bafek of it.
