conclusions are as follows:
Ask our Legislature to pass a law
(Texas can do it in June) taxing every
bale of cotton raised in the State this
year, one dollar, for the purpose of
building a warehouse at every market
point. One dollar per bale wil be suf-
ficient. If there is already a ware-
house in a town then buy it with this
money if it is for sale. Ask the Legis-
lature to put a permanent tax of 10c

What is probably the heaviest rain-
fall ever recorded in the city of Aus-
tin fell yesterday afternoon between
4:53 and 7:15 o'clock. The gauge at
the weather station at the university
recorded a precipitation of .96 of an
inch during that time. The threaten-
ing clouds gathered late in the after-
noon, and the sky had a greenish csst
that sent the mony outing parties scur-
rying back to their homes. Along
with the rain a little hall fell, but not
in sufficient quantity to do material
damage.

times the men themselves and more
often their relatives or friends, get

that, regardless of whatever earning
capacity these wounded men may ac-
quire by vocationa training or re-
education, their right to a pension
will be in no wise affected by their
increased earning ability. The eco-
nomic value to the country of this
vocational training for disabled men
is declared by men who have inyesti-
gated its possibilities as being almost
beyond computation.
Reconstruction must certainly include renewal of the normal home
life of the country. From many homes men have gone forth to fight and
women to work. Now the soldier husband or brother returns to resume
his normal life. Shall not the working wife or sister resume hers? The
soldier lover, too, comes back. Shall not his "kmc. long trail" lead, truly,

The following members from the
Austin B. P.- O. Elka Lodge No. 201
have been named aa the soldiers'
friend committee:
J. F Butler, chairman.
F. E. Rightor.
J. W. Brady
Edmunds Travis.
N. A. Ladd, secretary.
This committee was commissioned
at the last Monthly meeting of the
Austin Elks to take charge of the new
branch of war relief work, which is
now being undertaken by the Elks
war relief commission.
The Benevolent and Protective Or-
der of Elks has branched out in a
new field of work that is destined to
develop into a great asset for the
Nation. This is through the appoint-
ment in every Elks lodge throughout
the country of a special committee
known as the soldiers’ friend com
mittee, which will co-operate with the
Federal board for vocational educa-
tion in the re education of disabled
soldiers, sailors and marines.
The Government proposes to educate
every one of its disabled participants
in the great war for future usefulness
and independence. This will be done
by teaching them trades or profes-
sions which will overcome their phys-
ical disability and make them capable
of earning at least as much as before
they were disabled.

A Record Breaker.
All allotments heretofore made John-
son County were, on request of citi-

the county was alloted aid in the sum
