The Fairfield Recorder Secretary of Navy
v Urges Largest
Navy for U S.
Friday, Jan. 10, 1919.
Entered at second-class matter at
the postoffice at Fairtield, Texas, un-
der act of March 3, 1879.
Your Liberty Bonds
--v. Are Valuable
Your Government asks you
very earnestly not to sell
those unless you have to.
To part with your Liberty
Bonds means giving up your
pledge of patriotism and citi-
zenship, and handing your re-
sponsibilities and privileges
over to someone else.
Liberty Bonds will be worth
much more money presently
and it is good business to hold
them.
If you must sell get the full
market price. Go to a respon-
sible banker and let him give
‘you information and advice.
Do not sell to just anyone
who may not treat you fairly.
—Groesbeck Journal. „

Ills parents a short while be-
fore he made his final flight
. tier the German lines, in
lich he indicated that he
a premonition of his corn-
death. In the-clesing par-
raph of his letter he said:
' have striven to do my duty
inj this war, aud I hope I have
not done it all in vain. Do not
hesitate or falter until the
world is once more safe for
women and children, and ‘car-
ty on’ is my last wish.”

ges the Government to retain
control of the railroads for a
period of five years in order to
thoroughly test the feasibili-
sibly time might, enable the

manage the railroads, but, as
it is now freight rates are ex-
orbitant and the service rot-
ten.

The price will be $81.00 a ton]land Sound, a plot which he

or port. Farmers are to pay
in addition freight to their
shipping points. % ,,
Applications for a 'part of
the nitrate bought by the
Government will be received
only from actual farmers or
owners or holders of farms
for use on th^irland, and may
be made through County
Agent Furney Richardson, or
through any member of a lo-
cal committee consisting of
Roy Simmons, Wortham;
Clyde Ross, Streetmao; W.
W.-F. Storey, Teague.
No money will be required
with the application, but, up-
on notice from from the au-
thorized representative of the
Department .Of Agriculture
farmers who have signed ap-
plications must deposit with a
local bank, association, or in-
dividual, designated by the
Secretary of Agriculture to
act as the farmers’ agent for
that purpose, money to cover
the cost of the fertilizer ex-
cept the freight charge. In
practically every case the
money will be paid to a Coun-
ty Nitrate Distributor desig-
nated by the department of
Agriculture. Nitrate will be
shipped to distributors on
sight draft with bill of lading
attached. Distributors will
pay drafts, take up the bills
of lading, collect money from
farmers and distribute nitrate
to farmers. Arrangements
have been made to secure a
large quantity of nitrate and
it is believed that ftall reason-
able requirements can be met.

CORRECTION OF REPORT
v —
icle of Jan. 3, 1918, that an
error was made m reporting
our shipment of knitted gar-
ments for December. We got
credit for 13 sweaters and 3
pair of socks. Instead the re-
port should have beetl: 14
sweaters, 35 pair of socks, 1
helmet, and 1 pair wrister^,
making all-told 51 garments
for two months, November and
December. The November
lot reached Teague too late to
get in the shipment for that
month, but I was told they
would go with the December
soon after he left the White
House. 1
It was at 4:15 o’clock this
morning that the former Pres*
ident died in his sleep pain-
lessly. His death was due di-
rectly to a blood clot Inone
lung, the result of inflamma-
tory rheumatism.
The death of Col. Roosevelt
is believed by the physicians
who attended him to have
been hastened by grief over
Quentin’s death, coupled with
anxiety over the serious
wounds suffered by Captain
Archie Roosevelt, while fight-
ing in France.
