SABINAL. UVALDE COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1!)18
THE GREAT WORLD
WAR
On July 1st an army of over a
million men had embarked for
Europe to light the Huns. There
are now considerably over two
million men in the U. S. Army
and it is planned to increase the
number to four million by next
January.
The German drive lias not yet
materialized. The French, Am-
ericans and Italians report some
sharp fighting the past week in
which they gained several im-
portant positions and held them
and captured a lot of prisoners.
It now looks as though the U.
S. Government will take over the
management of all telegraph and
telephone lines in the country
shortly.
A strong effort is being made
in Congress to enact National
Prohibition for the duration of
the war. Thirteen states have
already ratified the National Pro-
hibition' Amendment, but this
method ox securing prohibition
is too slow to be of help for the
war. Statutory prohibition if
made effective at once, would be
a great help in winning the war.
We hope that Congress will get
busy.
The U. S. Senate paas;d ap-
propriation bills amounting to
twenty-two billion dollars in one
day last week. It is time the
Kaiser was beginning to look
down his nose.
A Hun submarine sank a large
Canadian Hospital Ship the first
of this week near the Irish
coast. Very few lives were sav-
ed. The Huns tried to leave no
trace, but a few escaped to tell
the story. Over 200 are missing.
The Huns are very successful in
fighting defenseless women and
children, hospitals and hospital
ships. They care nothing for
humanity except German human-
ity and not much for that.
President Wilson yesterday in
his address at the tomb of Wash-
ington said that there can be no
compromise with autocracy but
that it must be crushed.
U. S. Senator Tillman of S. C.
is dead.
TO THE LADY VOTERS OF
UVALDE COUNTY
The Legislature in its wisdom
passed a taw extending to you
the privilege to participate in the
coming Democratic Primaries,
July 27th, 1918. I do not believe
it is the proper thing to do, to
make a house to-house canvass,
so I am taking this method to
solicit your votes and influence
for the,office of District Clerk of
Uvalde County. I held this of-
fice four years without complaint
from any source so far as I know
and 1 voluntarily declined to run
for a third term, because I had
in announcing for the office stated
that I would only be a candidate
for two successive terms, now I
am a candidate again. I have
had experience in the office and
I am aa fully able to look after
the duties of the office in its ev-
ery detail now as I have been in
Respectfully,
Met Burney.
W. S. S. Meeting
There was a large attendance
at the meeting held last Friday
afternoon at the Central Chris-
tian Church in Sabina). Mr. J.
S. Wilson, President of the School
Board, presided. Mr. S. A. Hub-
bard iead the President’s procla-
mation and other documents.
Interesting speeches were made
’>> Mayor W. D. Heard, Judge
D. H. Jones, and Hon. H. P.
Hornby. The patriotic features
of these speeches received great
applause from the audience which
crowded the building to over-
flowing.
Something over $20,000 has
been pledged for War Savings
Stamps in this school district.
This is considerably less than our
apportionment, but considering
„he two year’s drouth which is
still in progress and all that our
people have done in meeting the
other patriotic calls, it is a fine
showing indeed.
Clark Withdraws
Will Vote for Hobby
Hon. Henry Clark of Siephens-
vilie has withdrawn from tne
race for Governor. 'He made an-
nouncement of withdrawal at a
Kreat Hobby meeting in Dallas
Tuesday night. Among other
things he said: “I take this ac-
tion in deference to what has
evidently grown to be such an
overwhelming sentiment among
the people for the re-election of
Governor Hobby that I cannot
hope to win against it.” He fur-
ther announces his “unqualified
support of Governor Hobby fot
re-election.”
Hon. M. M. McFarland
Speaks Here
Hon. M. M. McFarland of Al-
pine was in Sabinal Wednesday
in the interest of his candidacy
for the State Senate and spoke at
night at the Airdome. Mr. Mc-
Farland has been a member of
the Legislature for the past four
years from Alpine. He did some
mighty fine work in the House
and now wishes to go to the Sen-
ate on his record in the House.
The audience listened- closely to
his speech.
Mr. McFarland deserves the
thanks of the women outside the
cities for getting the Attorney
General to reverse his opinion
about the need of women regis-
tering in order to vote in the
Primary. He claims to have
been a strong supporter of Pres-
ident Wilson ever since he has
been President. For this reason
he has supported every measure
that the President has asked for
such as the Ten Mile Zone Law,
Woman’s Suffrage, etc. He says
he will vote for the submission
of a prohibition amendment at
the regular session of the Legis-
lature should he be elected.

week in Sabinal. The City wagon
will haul off trash (no rocks) if
citizens will have same piled up

begin cleaning up at once so that
you will be ready when wagon

Much typhoid and other sickness
may be avoided by cleaning up
and keeping clean. Use lime
freely in your closets. See that
everything about your premises
is in a strictly sanitary condition.

The Dam Project
Mr. W. C. Jameson arrived
Monday. He expects to begin
work surveying soon. He is
investgating this week the feas-
ibility of a plan to build dams on
the Sabinal and Blanco rivers and
combine the flood waters of these
rivers with the Frio waters and
so secure sufficient water to
irrigate a great acreage. We
hope that this new feature will
prove feasible for it will mean
that Uvalde County will have
one of the biggest irrigation
systems in Texas.

Partially
1918 Total Valuations
The total assessed valuations
of Sabinal for 1918 amount to
$749,121 as against $737,636 for
1917. This was quite a surprise
as it was expected that the tax
valuations would be a little lower
than last year. Mar«h*ll Lyell
says that the reason is because of
some renditions of personal pro-
perty that we did not have in
1917.

Miss Ura Hallmark were married
on June 26th at thV bride’s "home

wishing Mr. and Mrs. Crouch a
long and happy life.
