The allotment at the present is 150
head of cattle per day for the last
. three days of each week and it is
eaid that .this will not take care of
the situation.
In some localities over the county
it is stated that they have not had a
rain’ since May 12th and they are
absolutely without water or grass.
A well for oil is to be drilled in the
near future by Hubert Holt, Etal, and
will be known as the Mildred O’Brien
No 1.
The derrick is being built at the
present and the machinery will be
moved in immediately after comple-
tion of derrick.
The location is on the Mildred
O’Brien land in the southeast portion
of ths Mosses Evans Survey, one-half
mile northeast of the Piedmont Sta.
tion, and is on same tract of land
where the Piedmont Sulphur Springs
are located.

. Comritteemen from over all parts
of the county were selected at the
meeting and this committee will go
to College Station Wednesday after-
noon to try and get this matter
covered near a small creek in the vi-
cinity of her home at 7:80 Tuesday
morning, two days after she had left
Sunday morning to hunt for a flock
of turkeys that had strayed away.
Immediately after the body was dis-
covered in a badly decomposed con-
dition. Justice of the Peace H. A.
Becker was summoned and held an
inquest, the verdict being “Death
from unknown causes." The body was
then taken to the Leon Simank Fun-
eral Home, where it was prepared for
burial, and a very careful examina-
tion failed to show any marks of vlo.
]ence or any signs of foul play. It is
supposed that Mrs. Meyer succumbed
to a heart attack soon after leaving
home.
Mra Meyer residede alone in the
old family homestead, but one of her
sons makes ■ his home quite near, in
another house on the same farm. When
he found his mother had not return-

sonable time, he instituted a search,

Austin, Aug. 29 — A bill to auth-
orize the issuance of additional relief
bonds was speeded on its way In the
House Tuesday when the Commit-
tee on State Affairs voted 9 to 5 to
report it favorably. There was an
hour of’ discusalon and brief flurries
of debate on the bill before it was
reported without change from the form
in which it was introduced by Repre-
sentative Bob Long of Wichita Falls.
The bill authorizes the issuahce of
$9,500,000, the full amount of bonds
left rom the $20,000,000 authorized
by a eonstitutional amendment.* As
explained by its author, It differs
from the legisletion under which $10,-
500,000 in bonds already have been
iasued, chiefly In that it provides for
flexibility as regards the interest the
bonds shall bear and sets out that
three issues shall be offered at 4, 4%
and 4% per cent. It differs prom the
existing law also in that provision is
made that the bond obligation shall
be met from funds from all taxes
except those on property. It would
broaden the effect of the former sta-
tute to place all State funds behind ths
bonds with the exception of ad valor-
em tax revenue* 9
Only general fund revenues now

been issued and Long told the com-

however, that any of eueh additional

Chicago, Ill., Aug. 29 — The second
attempt of two young Texas women
to gain the women's endurance flight
record ended Tuesday when their
plane, the Lone Star, suddenly deve-
loped motor trouble.
Jean La Rene of Dallas and Mary
Elizabeth Owens of Fort Worth nosed
the craft to a safe landing at the
Curtiss-Reynolds airport after having
been aloft 106 hours and two minutes
in their efforts to better the 240 hour
record. ' ?
Both expressed keen disappointment
but were quick to assert they were
going up again just as soon as the.
motor was repaired and they were
rested- probably within a day or two.
Bad luck has dogged the flight. Sev-
eral days ago the girls took off only
to be forced down at their first re-
fueling attempt. The mechanism failed
to work and it had to be repaired.
Two days later, last Thursday, they
soared aloft again. Their second night
in the air almost spelled failure when
the craft tossed through heavy storms
