Victoria Denies The Existence
Of Diphteria
The Victoria Advocate vigor-
ously denies the existence of any
cases of dipththeria at Victoria,
declaring, on the authority of the
health officer, that there is not a
single case within the city limits.
This denial grew out of reports
circulated in Port Lavaca to the
effect that Victoria had more than
500 cases of the disease—Cuero

Destroy The Weevils
‘‘Unless by the work of man or
the intervention of unexpected
natural causes and favorable
weather conditions something is
done to destroy boll weevils now
in the cotton fields of Texas, this
pest will destroy a million or
more bales of cotton in this
State next year," says W. F.
Proctor, State Agent in charge of
Demonstration Work in Texas.
“There are more weevils in
Texas at this time than at any
time since they made their
appearance in this State/’
continued Mr. Proctor, “and
they are scattered over a large
area. The damage to this year’s
crop was large, but it is a trifle
in comparison with the loss they
will cause Texas farmers next
year unless something is done
to prevent it.
The heavy growth put on by
the cotton plant after the rains
that accompanied the gulf storm
has furnished the weevils an
ample food supply to carry them
into the winter quarters and
unless farmers destroy them
early they will have an immense
army to fight next spring and
summer.”
Mr. Proctor urges all farmers
to give attention to the weevil
menace as soon as they finish
picking cotton. Where the size
of the stalks and the number of
cattle permit the stalks may be
pastured, but this plan is not
advised unless the farmer has
enough cattle to clean up all the
stalks.

Motored To Goliad
The following party motored
to Goliad yesterday in Mr.
Neumayer’s Overland: J. W.
Neumayer’ Sr., Judge B. L.
Hausmann, W. F. Strieber, Gus.
Metz, Sr., and Alfred Neumayer.
It is rumored that Mr. Neu-
mayer went for the purpose of
buying more horns for his col-
lection, but we couldn’t learn
why the Judge went, unless it
was to guard against any legal
difficulties the party should hap-
pen to meet with. Of course W.
F. Strieber and Gus Metz, Sr.,
went along because they know
the streets of the town so well,
and could act as guides to all
points of interest and otherwise.

Origin of Halloween Dates
Back Centuries
Halloween is the name popularly
given to the eve or vigil of AU
Hallows, or festival of AH Saints,
which being the first of Novem-
ber. Halloween is the evening
of the 31st of October. In Eng-
land it was long customary to
crack nuts, duck for apples in a
tub of water and perform other
harmless fireside revelries. While
the same thing can be said of
Scotland, the Halloween cere-
monies of that country partook
more of superstitious character,
taking among rustic form of a
charm to discover who should be
his or her partner for life. Of
these now almost exploded cus-
toms the best summary is that
contained in Burns’ poem,
“Halloween.”—American Com-
prehensive Encyclopedia.
