illinger Bank Deposits
Increase 300 Percent in
Past Nine Month
. (Temple Telegram Sreclal.)
" Balllnger, Tex., Jan. IS.—Statements
Issued by the three local banks of this
city this week, show an Increase In
deposits of more than 300 percent
tor a period covering less than nine
months. Statements issued on call of
Comptroller nine months ago showed
deposits of the three banks totaling
only $600,000, while the statements is-
sued this week show deposits amount-
ing to more than $2,250,000.
The big increase in deposits is due
|o the bumper crop made in the coun-
ty and the high prices received. Local
Farm Agent Eaton compiled a state-
ment this week showing the produc-
tion of all crops and giving the esti-
mated value of product# sold. Ac-
cording to the farm agent's state-
ment the farmers have sold more than
112,000,000 worth of farm products,
;which Is $2,000,000 more than the total
taxable renditions of the county for
1919.
——The principle crops made In the
icounty laBt year and their value, as
ehown In a statement Issued by the lo-
cal farm agent, is as follows:
Cotton, 100,000 acres, 45,000 bales,
$7,300,000; wheat, 120,000 acres, 200,-
000 bushels, $3,600,000; oats, 60,000
acres, 160,000 bushels, $1,108,000; mllo
maize, 40,000 acres, 60,000 tons, $1,-
200,000; miscellaneous crops, 10,000
i»cres, 300,000. Total, $12,308,000.
With 10,000 bales of cotton yet in
the field, and with more than $2,000,-
000 worth of cotton in the local yards,
belonging to the farmers, and with
I the thousands of tons of feed which
• went to waste due to labor shortage,
' the money value of the crop of this
| county for the year Just closed will
f, more than double that of any previous
j year in its history as an agricultural
(county.
The above figures don't take Into
fconalderation livestock, poultry, fruit
' and millions dollars realized from oil
j leases. One year ago farmers in thiff
county were using money received
trom the drouth relief committee. Th«j<
farm was depleted of livestock, on ac-
count of the drouth. During 1916,
1117 and 1918 practically all live stock,
Siogs and poultry were shipped out of
the county, as the farmers had no
money with which to buy feed. In
most cases the money realized from
the sale of livestock was used to de-
fray living expenses of the family,

Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are the
result of Dr. Edwards' determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel For 17 years he used
these tablets (a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil) in his private
practice with neat success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no griping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods—yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Tike Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and "heavy."
Note how they clear clouded brain and
oeric up the spirits. 10c and 25c a box.
SCHOOLS CROWDED;
HALF DAY SESSION
IN LOWER GRADES
while the head of the family went to
other fields to seek labor.
Drouth loans have been repaid, and
farmers who cultivated rented land
last year and made a crop on money
borrowed from the drouth relief com-
mittee, have In many instances pur-
chased farms and paid cash for same.
The country is being rapidly re-
stocked with pure breed livestock.
Three car loads of brood sows were
ordered this week, and will be distri-
buted among farmers who have put
up the money.
The wonderful change brought
about within twelve months Is unbe-
lievable and it is all due to the rich
agricultural harvest. For the first
time in the history of the county, ev-
ery crop planted made a big yield.
Farmers are out of debt, having paid
debts of four and five years standing
with accrued Interest, and paid off
eight per cent land notes which were
not due for several years to come.
With the most promising prospect
for another good crop year, the coun-
ty is in shape to pass through any
falures the country might experience.

Timely Rain
Over Whole
West Texas
a n
(Temple Telegram Special.)
San Angelo, Tex., Jan. 13.—Timely
rains, ranging from one and one-half
to two inches, have again soaked West
Texas, from Temple on the east to the
New Mexico line and southward from
the Rio Grande to the Panhandle and
Into Oklahoma, according to reports
obtained here Monday. Drizzles that
began late Saturday developed during
the night into slow, steady rains that
continued nearly all day Sunday. A
heavy mist still prevailed Monday
morning.
During the thirty-six hours, ending
Monday morning at 8 o'clock, the
temperature at only brief Intervals
was freezing and this prevented suf-
fering among livestock that would
have resulted had the rain turned to
sleet and had ice covered the ground.
The moisture is further deepening the
already exceptional season that is In
the ground and is placing tillable land
in perfect condition for spring plant-
ing. There is some little cotton still
in the fields and the wet weather has
stopped picking, but the benefits from
the rains will more than balance any
losses sustained by the farmers.
Roads that were already rough due
to recent wet weather have again been
converted Into miry stretches, some of
which will be virtually impassable for
several days. Many automobile par-
ties. from surrounding towns were de-
layed here Sunday and Monday by the
bad condition of the highways.
That the rains were general became
eyident Monday when the Orient re-
ported that they had covered the en-
tire line, from Alpine into Oklahoma.
The Santa Fe announced that rains
fell all the way from Sterling City to
Temple.

ion throughout the country a refer-
endum of the peace treaty and con-
stitution of the League of Nations will
be helJ In all colleges and universi-
ties of the United States on Jan. " 13.
The movement calling for this ref-
erendum was Initiated by the Inter-
collegiate referendum committee of

ing prominent college newspaper
men: Frederio P. Benedict of the

used ii submitting the pence treaty
and constitution of the League of Na-
tions. In order to simplify the rath-
er complex questions involved in both
documents, six propositions covering
both the league and treaty will be
clearly Mated on the ballot. These
propositions were sent by the Inter-
collegiate referendum committee to
Senator Hitchcock, democratic floor
leader, and Senator Lodge, republican
floor leader, both of whom consented
to the submission of the questions to
the students of the United States, and
agreed not to issue any propaganda
on either side.
In order that the students of the
University of Texas may clearly un-
derstand the questions upon which
they are to vote, a convocation of all
the students will be held at which
some competent speaker, possibly a
United states senator or congressman
will give an unbiased presentation of
every phase of the questions In-
volved. Members of the faculty will
also be asked to speak on the sub-
ject at different times. Different stu-
dent organizations will also study the
league and treaty before the date of
referendum.
Separate committees for the facul-
ty and students have been appointed
to-supervise preparations for the vote,
and to have charge of the ballots on
the thirteenth. President Robert E.
Vinson appointed the following /ac-
uity committee: C. 8. Potts, W D.
Hornaday and J. W. Calhoun. Wal-
lace Hawkins, president of the Stu-
dents' association, chose the follow-
ing student committees: Hilton E.
Howe'i of Cameton, chairman; Char-
les Harritt, of Beaumont, and Ruby
A. Bla.'k of Thornton. ,
Plana for the convocation and the
securing of suitable speakers are as
yet tentative, according to the chair-
man of the student committee. They

Historic Papers
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Austin, Tex, Jan. IS.—& W. Fish-
er, a well known attorney of Austin,
has presented several Important his-
torical documents to the University of

ing this period the proprietors under-
took and carried out considerable

er. In this collection 1* also a lock of

collection on behalf of the University,

it as a valuable addition to the his-
torical archives of that InstltuUon.
