PRISON SYSTEM
REPORTS LOSS
Annual Penitentiary Report
Puts Operating Liabilities
at $1,293,580.
Austin, Tex.—The Texas peniten-
tiary system lost $1,293,580 in operat-
ing during 1921, according to the an-
nual report of the auditor, C. H. Ar-
nold, filed with Governor Neff Mon-
day. The system lost in operation of
all the farms and made profits from
operation in only the cabinet shop,
the drug store, the store and the shoe
shop. All of the rest of the prison con-
cerns, including the cotton oil mill and
the sugar mill, operated at a loss.
The total loss included $236,933 loss
on the 1920 cotton crop and $23,891 by
fire.
The resources and liabilities of the
system amount to $6,927,238 and the
debits and credits to $8,417,749.
The total indebtedness on land, prop-
erty and equipment is given at $575,-
793 and does not include the $700,000
borrowed early this year from a Kan-
sas bond house.
The system owns 81,120 acres of
land valued at $3,448,073, with prop-
erty on it valued at $1,973,668. It also
leases 6020 acres. Of all this land but
45,668 acres are in cultivation. The
property valuation includes the Hunts-
ville penitentiary and the state rail-
road, which is listed at $527,383. Pris-
on operations show a loss of $64,101.

are based on operations, inventory
amounts being calculated in each in-
stance.
The system owns 1960 head of mules
and 396 head of horses, valued at
$263,412.
The average cost per prison for
transportation last year was $18.43.
The total for this transportation in-
creased by $10,500 because of increas-
ed railroad fares and transfer of pris-
oners from farm to farm under the
segregation system installed. The
average cost per year per convict for
maintenance and guarding was $226;
$19.47 per month and 64.8 cents per
day.
The monthly report for March, also
received Monday, shows a net gain in
population of 53 convicts. There was
a total of 3333 convicts on hand at the
close of the month.

INSPECTION NOT REQUIRED
FOR INTRASTATE SHIPMENTS
Austin, Tex.—It was held Friday
that acts providing for standard con-
tainers for fruits and vegetables and
establishing grades and packs and pro-
viding for inspections at the point at
which the produce is shipped can not
be invoked on shipments moving to
points beyond the state of Texas; that
when so shipped the produce becomes
interstate commerce and it can not
be regulated by the laws or regula-
tions of any state, such regulation be-
ing prohibited by the constitution of
the United States.
This construction of the law was
made by First Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral E. F. Smith, in an opinion to Geo.
B. Terrell, commissioner of agricul-
ture.

OIL PRODUCTION FOR
MARCH SHOWS GAIN
AH Texas Fields Show Decid-
ed Increases—New Rec-
ords Set.
Washington.—New high records in
the daily average production of oil in
March and in the quantity of stocks
are reported by the United States geo-
logical survey. The daily averages for
the month, stated in barrels, were:
Production, 1,513,419; imports, 451,743;
exports, 25,732, and estimated con-
sumption, 1,575,484.
The total production for the month
amounted to 46,916,000 barrels, about
900.000 barrels greater than the Feb-
ruary production and nearly 1,Q00,000
barrels greater than a year ago. The
midcontinent field led all others with
a production of 28,000,000 barrels for
the month, the next being California
with 10,500,000 barrels. Oklahoma led
all states with nearly 12,000,000 bar-
rels, with Texas second, producing 10,-
925.000 barrels, which was an increase
of about 500,000 barrels compared with
February. Of the March production
8.222.000 barrels is accredited to Cen-
tral and Northern Texas, and the coast-
al country 2,703,000 barrels. All Tex-
as fields recorded increases.
Louisiana nearly doubled its Febru-
ary production in March, the latter be-
ing 4,166,000 barrels, the Northern Lou-
isiana fields producing 4,036,000 bar-
rels which was a heavy increase over
February and the coastal country do-
ing 130,000 barrels compared with 117,-
000 barrels the month before.
Arkansas brought in 1,035,000 bar-
rels, an increase of 50,000 barrels.
The total estimated consumption
during March was 48,840,000 barrels.
The disparity between supply and de-
mand, as reported by the geological
survey, resulted in an increase during
the month of pipe line and tank farm
stocks of domestic oil and Mexican im-
portations, bringing the' total storage
on the last day of March up to 220,-
133.000 barrels, equal to 140 days at
the present rate of consumption. Pro-
duction for the first quarter of 1922,
amounting to 16,640,000 barrels, was
greater than the first quarter of 1921
and was at an annual rate of more
than 520,000,000 barrels. .
The estimated consumption in the
midcontinent field was nearly 21,000,-
000 barrels during the month, which
caused the stocks in that field to swell
to 120,578,000 barrels. The total
Mexican importations for the month
were about 14,000,000 barrels, of which
5.500.000 were brought in at the gulf
coast ports.
PROCEEDINGS OF
GENOA CONFERENCE
France Insists on Full Pay-
ment By Russia With Resto-
ration of Property.
Genoa. — Two historic documents
dealing with the reconstruction of Rus-
sia were submitted by France and
Great Britain to the economic coo-
ference Friday and are in the hands
of a special drafting committee ap-
pointed by the subcommittee on Rus-
sian affairs, which will endeavor to
harmonize the differences in them.
The French document sketches at
length means for restoring Russia's
agricultural and industrial activities,
while that of Great Britain devotes
more attention to credit for Russia.
France insists. on the full payment
of Russia’s war debts and the restora-
tion of private property to foreigners;
Great Britain favors a reduction in
Russia’s war debt and is willing to be
satisfied if Russia grants former for-
eign owners the use of their property,
instead of a return of actual owner-
ship.
The adoption of the 12 articles in
the agreement with Russia which reg-
ulate the disposal of the Russian debt
is favored by France. She demands
that the soviet conclude before De-
cember 31 an agreement with repre-
sentatives of owners of Russian state
bonds in order to provide for the pay-
ment of interest.
If an agreement is impossible, ac-
cording to the FYench contention, the
soviet must promise to accept the de-
cision of a mixed arbitration commis-
sion, the president of which will be
appointed by the chief justice of the
supreme court of the United States or
by the league of nations or by the
president of the court of international
justice.
The French draft demands in case
private property can not be restored
that Russia shall pay indemnities.
These indemnities would be provided
for by an issue of new Russian 5 per
cent bonds. The mixed arbitration tri-
bunal of three members—one member
for Russia, one for an interested gov-
ernment and the third, who would be
president, to be designated by the
chief justice of the supreme court of
the United States—would decide dis-
puted points.
The' discussion of the two drafts
brought forth a duel of words between
Premier Lloyd Gtorge of Great Britain
and Louis Barthou, chief of the French
delegation, which the • auditors de-
scribed as both witty and satirical.
.Signor Schanzer, Italy, as usual, took
a leading role in the discussion, urging
conciliation between the French and
British attitudes. In this stand he
was supported by Dr. Mott, Switzer-
land, and M. Shirmuk, Poland.
Mr. Lloyd George characterized the
FTench project as elegant in form, but
defective in important features. He
objected to France’s picture of Rus-
sian disorganization, saying it would
displease the Russian delegation.
Moreover, he added, France's draft
spoke over much of agriculture and
commerce, while it was superficial on
the momentous question of credits.
Every country, Mr. Lloyd George in-
sisted, should say frankly what it was
disposed to do for Russia. He urged
the formation of a consortium with
precise offers from each nation, spe-
cifically saying what it was ready to
do not necessarily in actual money but
in general guarantees and regarding a
resumption of commerce with Russia.
M. Barthou did not share the British
premier’s viewpoint and described the
British draft as “too religiously moral.’
Mexican Quail Imported
To Restock Texas Lands
Pelicans Swarm Into Abilene.
Abilene, Tex.—Seagulls and peli-
cans, hundreds of miles from their
natural habitat, swarmed throughout
this section Wednesday. One white
pelican shot here measured over ten
feet from tip to tip.
Dipping Starts at Flatonia.
Flatonia, Tex.—The dipping vat for
this neighborhood is open for busi-
ness. A federal supervisor is present.
No local supervisor has been appoint-
ed yet.
Crop Conditions Improve.
Bryan, Tex.—The good weather of
the past week has been a great help
to farming interests and crop condi-
tions are very greatly improved. Near-
ly all the hill farmers are through
planting cotton and much of it is up tc
a good stand.
Berry Crop Heavy.
Dayton, Tex.—The dewberry and
blackberry crop in this section bids
fair to be a heavy one. Dewberries are
ripening fast.
Austin Tex.—Six hundred pairs of
Bob White quail have just been pro-
cured from Mexico by the state game,
fish and oyster department and are
now being distributed over the state
to replenish depleted districts.
The distribution is being made in
the counties radiating from the Pan-
handle, Decatur, Kerrville, Laredo, San
Saba, Austin, Houston, Dallas, and
El Paso.
The Mexican Bob White is more
hardy than the native Texas quail, and
it is the opinion of Prof. George Finlay
Simmons, naturalist of the State Uni-
versity, that a hybred produced by the
Texas and Mexican quail would solve
the problem of stockng West Texas
desert regions.
Game Commissioner Boyd now has
some of these Mexican birds at the
Dallas fish hatchery, where it is to be
determined whether the mixture can
be produced. A similar effort to cross
the ring-neck pheasant with the Cha-
chalaca (Mexican pheasant) failed,
Mr. Boyd said.
New District Attorney.
Austin, Tex.—J. Ben Robertson of
Austin has resigned as district attor-
ney of the twenty-sixth district and
the governor appointed Daniel J.
Moody of Georgetown to fill the va-
cancy. The district consists of Travis
and Williamson counties.
Four Wells Completed.
Eastland, Tex.—In addition to the
2500-barrel gusher at the city limits,
four new completions are reported
from the Pioneer pool, adding 2030
barrels to the daily production.
EVEN CAREFUL
CALOMELUSERS
ARE SALIVATED
Next Dose of Treacherous Drug
May Start Misery
for You.
Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and exces-
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don’t trust calomel. It is mercury;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod-
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is per-
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

“Will you accompany me on the

“Not without a chaperon,” answered

AUTO HITS TEAM
Laurel, April 18.—Unable to see a
team driven by Lester Briscoe, 1303
Myrtle avenue, yesterday in the heavy
mist, a large touring car driven by an
unknown man ran into the team and
seriously injured the driver and killed
one of the mules. The accident oc-
curred on Main street near Johnson’s
hardware store. A crowd quickly
gathered and one of the by-standers
was heard to remark that a person
should be punished for not protecting
himself against such an accident He
said that he knew of a preparation
called “SEE THRU” that could be
bought for a dollar from a concern in
Baltimore, Maryland, called the Balti-
more See-Thru Corporation that
would have prevented the accident as
no matter how hard it should be rain-
ing a wind shield treated with this
preparation would always remain as
clear as on a bright summer day and
that every person who drove a car
should not endanger life by going
without it. He said that he had driven
over from Govanstown several nights
before and could not understand how
the driver of the jitney could make
such speed on a rainy night until he
told him he always used “SEE
THRU After the driver explained
to him how simple it was to have a
clear wind-shield and guaranteed to
be so as long as it rained he said he
did not lose any time sending off his
dollar for a box and that he found
that it certainly did the trick. Adver-
tisement.
A Deficit.
“The money in circulation per cap-
ita is said to be $62.48.”
“Somebody has my $62.”

HARDIN PUT BACK
ON HIS FEET TWICE
Was Relieved of Both Rheumatism
and Stomach Trouble by Tanlac,
States Los Angeles Man.
“For the second time Tanlac has put
me on my feet, and you may know by
that what I think of it,” said William
T. Hardin, 1409 Garden St., Los An-
geles, Calif.
“Three years ago, I had rheumatism
in my shoulders and neck so bad I
could hardly work. I tried medicine
after medicine only to get worse, but
finally I got hold of Tanlac, and I
haven’t had a trace of rheumatism
since.
“Then last summer my stomach got
out of order, I lost my appetite and
what little I did eat made me feel
bloated, all stuffed up and miserable.
I always felt weak, tired and worn out,
and was so nervous I couldn’t sleep.
“Well, Tanlac did a good job for me
before, so I just got some more of it,
and now it has again fixed me up, and
I'm feeling strong and energetic like
I used to. I’ll tell the world Tanlac’*
the medicine for me."
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.
The trouble with some girls is that
they are only giddy when they think
they are gay.
