mans Incurred fearful losses with-
out getting near to any decisions.
Describing the battle around Fort
Douaumont, one combatant said:
"For four miles behind us there
was not a trench nor a communica-
tion, nothing but shell holes, ono
within another. Every Inch of tho
ground was plowed up by an expen-
diture of ammunition which Is Incon-
ceivable. In holes made by 15-lnch
shells you could stable fifteen horses
easily. The few trees still standing
have been stripped of their branches
looked like telegraph poles. It is
the abomination of desolatlou. Not
for a seebnd do the guns cease roar-
ing or men ccase falling. As soon
as a trench is nude, the shells begin
to drop and the survivors have to
begin all over. Attacks have become |
almost impossible, because in the ter-
rific tornado of artillery fire, the in- ■
fantry on each side is unable to ad-
vance or retreat Verdun will cer-
tainly not be taken from this point.
"I cannot understand how our men ;
are able to keep It up. You are ex-
terminated In your boots without
seeing the enemy. The terrific noise
leaves us half stunned. Men look
•t each other with bewildered eyes.
It requires a strong effort of the will
to speak to a comrade."
There ars two fig trees In Temple
with enough fruit on them to give
each man, woman and child In Bell
county a fig each. Of course nobody
has counted the figs, but the same Is
true with the county's present popu-
lation. It Is all an estimate, yet •
conservative one, and were noses
counted—make It mouths—and fig*
gathered there would be enough fruit
to go around.
This is the way W. J. Bassctt figures
it out and he ought to know because—
because he owns the trees. They are
in his yard—ono right north of the
house Just next to the sidewalk and
the other In the southwest corner of
the lot Here is about the way he
figures It out:
There are, according to latest esti-
mates, something like 60,000 people
in Bell county, maybe more. There
are, by actual count, two fig trees
about hit house. One of these Is extra
large, sbout the largest of any fig
tree in this section if not, indeed, the
largest It is something like thirty
feet across from one side of the
branches to the other and is nearly
as high as a single story house. It is
well formed and, getting around to
estimates again, there are two thous-
and or more of what Mr. Bassett calls
twigs on it. By counting the figs here
and there or. these twigs It Is found
that the number averages between
fifteen ana twenty. Tho other tree Is
hardly as large but it is Just as well
fruited and Mr. Bassett figures that
there are at least 4,000 twigs with an
average of fifteen figs to the twig.
Multiplying, 15 times 4,000 equals 60,-
000—simple arithmetic. This all leads
back to the assertion that there are
two fig trees in Temple with enough
fruit on them to ive each man,
woman and child in Bell county a
fig each.
Be tho estimate as it may, It still
remaln« that there are some figs on
the trees in Mr. Bassett's yard. They

were set out eleven years ago and they
bore fruit tho second year. For tho
past five or six years they have been
tufnlng figs out 1% quantities, fur-
nishing fruit for home use and enough
for the neighbors—and th ir children.
"It all goes goes '. show," said Mr.
Bassett yesterday, "that figs do well
here and could be made a money crop.
Suppose there were two fig trees on
each and every lot In town! The trees
are pretty and they make good shades,
but the beauty of Its Is they help to
cut down living expenses and provide
something good for the table.
"I will be very glad to furnish any-
one cuttings from my trees in the
winter or eurly spring anJ if anything
you can say will encourage fig cul-
ture we will have done some good. I
would like for everybody to come
around and survey my trees while the
fruit is on them. They vlll agree
with my estimate."

AWAITING CAURANIA'S NOTE.
Principal Witness
in Graft Case Is
! Absent From Trial
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 24—A
sensation was sprung today in tho
trial of the IDO.OOO slander suit In-
stituted by Alex Howat, president of
the Kansas district, United Mine
Workers of America, against Chas.
B. Keith, former president, and other
Officials of the Southwest Interstate
Coal Operators' association, when at-
torney for <the defense admitted that
Jos. H. Hazen, chief witness for the
defense, could not be found.
Hazen Is the operator from Mul-
berry, Kan., to whom Keith, accord-
ing to his depositions, gave about
$20,000, to be used to influence
Howat and Fred Holt, secretary-
treasurer of the Oklahoma district of
the miners' union, In obtaining a fav-
orable wage contract. It is on this
statement and others that Ilowat's
suit is based.
Ilowat's attorney criticised Ilazen's
absence.
"Wo will show," lie declared, "that
If tny money was paid him, he kept
It himself. We will show also that
while he says he lived up his salary,
he deposited $6,000 at one time."

Politics All Right
There Is a place for Political Activity in every
normal American's life. It is his Duty as well
as to his Betterment to work for his conception
of Government and to even Get Excited over
the contests at times. Getting excited causes
New Lines of thought, and causes quicker cir-
culation of blood calculated to become stag-
nant. Getting excited in Partisanship brings a
fellow into understanding touch with his fel-
lows. He acquires a Personality himself.
Lots of time for the hum-drum. Take a day
toff and get in position to become excited a bit.
It will make one better qualified to come back
to old Business and put Pep into it.

Washington Reports to near From
First Chief In Few Days.
Washington, May 24.—No authori-
tative forecast of the proposals to be
made by General Carranza In his new
note had reached officials here to-
night and while some apprehension
was apparent that its tenor might not
be entirely satisfactory, the general
feeling was one of confidence that
lit would open the way to a defi-
nite agreement for continued co-op-
leration of American and de facto
forces In the pursuit of bandits in
northern Mexico.
Reoent reports from Special Agent
Rodgers at Mexico City have Indi-
cated a growing friendliness toward
! the United States and have led the
[state department to hope that the
; new communication would suggest a
I resumption of negotiations for a new
protocol covering the operations of
jthe American expeditionary forces.
I Rumors that Gweral Carranza In
'some form might renew his request
for withdrawal of the expedition were
given credence, however, by some of-
ficials.
There are no Indications that a re-
newed demand for withdrawal would
meet wiUi immediate acquiescence or
lead to serious consequences unless
it wero backed by an order for hos-
tilities against the American forces.
This Inttor possibility Is not regarded
seriously.
Tho state department's dispatches
todny from Special Agent Rodgers
Indicated that tho new note prob-
ably was on Its way by special mes-
senger and should bo In Washington
by Monday.
A dispatch from Raltiiio snid the
Cnrranza governor had reported the
killing May 6. nt Zaragosa, of the
bandit chief, Tobias Klizondo. West
coast conditions wero reported quiet
and those in tho Yaqul valley wero
said to bo satisfactory.
MILITIAMKN MI ST REPORT.
Those Refusing to .loin Ranks Will
lie Court-Martialed,
Washington, May 24.—The 11fi
members of the Texas national guard
who failed to answer the summons
for duty on the border will bo given
another opportunity.
Because tho new army reorganiza-
tion bill now awaiting signature by
the president repeals certain pro-
visions of the existing militia law
under which tho men could be court-
martialed, Secretary Baker has de-
termined to delay action until the
new measure becomes a law. Its ef-
fect will bo to muster them into the
federal service automatically, and
should they again fall to report for
duty they will be subject to court-
martial.
Socretary Baker explained that the
May-Chamberlain measure repealed
tho offense for which the Texas
guardsmen might be tried. By the
time court-martinl proceedings under
the old law could be Instituted, he
said, Its provision would havo been
abolished In that respect and he ex-
plained that It had been decided to
withhold action unUl the new law
goes Into effect.
Tho new law provides that a call
for the militia shall, of Itself, con-
stitute "mustering Into federal serv-
ice." Refusal of guardsmen to "pre-
sent" themselves la, therefore, an
offense repealed uider the act.
Secretary Baker devised General
president to issue a supplementary
call tor the lit guardsmen as soon
as tho bill la signed. Hits would op-
erate to enroll them as federal sol-
diers for service within the United
States subject to severe penalties for
refusal to report for duty.
Secretary Baker davlsed General
Funston of his decision and enforce-
ment of the new law will rest with I
that officer. |
The Hay-Chamberlain bill does
not repeal the whole Dick law. Sec-
retary Baker said, but affects only
certain provisions, Including that re-
garding mustering In of militia. A
new call for the Arizona and New
Mexico guardsmen will not be neces-
sary.
Keep This
In Mind
That the store that
deals in friendliness has
more to offer than prices.
It is a store that is usual-
ly well located, well es-
tablished, who know
your likes and dislikes
and has built upon a solid
basis of High Quality
Value Giving.
It is a fact that there
are lots of cheap gro-
ceries, just like there are
cheap hats, gowns, etc.
If you buy cheap gro-
ceries you get just what
you pay for and no more.
The matter of grocer-
ies being essentially a
matter of refinement, it
is certainly a satisfaction
to know that the service
you buy is not measured
alone in dollars and
cents, but a high plane of
value giving that takes
into account the individ-
ual taste of hundreds of
the most discrimnating
housewives long before
they do.
We believe in only the
best and we believe that
you also believe so, too,
and with a determination
to keep the faith invested
in us we respectfully so-
licit your grocery ac-
count.

attacks with two Bavarian divisions
newly arrived on this front Dueceeded
each other all day. After several
fruitless attempts and enormous losses
the enemy succeeded la re-occupying

Great Austrian Offensive.
Rome, May 24.—The Austrian of-
fensive along the Italian front which
began ten days ago, Is assuming more
and more the character of the Ger-
man offensive of Verdun. After hav-
ing occupied the advanced posiitons
from which the Italians withdrew,
the Austrians now are strengthening
and organising themselves there.
They have concentrated additional
artillery under command of General
Koevess, and have been attempting,
but without success, to cut the Ital-
ians' rear communications for sup-
ples. This advance of the AuBtrians
has been rendered more difficult by
the destruction of bridges and roads.
The Italian officers estimate that
between the Adige and Brenta rivers
j the Austrians have placed twenty-six
j batteries of guns of 305 caliber,
'aside from many other batteries of
; smaller guns and have brought from
;the Oallcian and Balkan fronts fresh
'troops to the number of eighteen di-
visions, or 360,000 men.
Arsiero Is ono of the towns that
'has suffered most severely from the
• homtmrdment. Austrian prisoners'
isay that prior to the beginning of
ithe offensive they were told that it
i was the intention to capture the Ve-
netian provinces by storm, beginning
j with the province of Viccnza. The
j Austrian officers gave orders that
! the Austrian soldiers once on Italian
| territory must not show themselves
weak, but that they must not act
I brutally toward tho population. They
promised that next summer the men
might take the baths at Lido in
Venice on the Adriatic.
This extensive movement by the
Austrians Is styled by them "the of-
fensive towards the valley of the I'o
river."

Peace Beyond the
Dvina River, Teuton
Soldiers Are Told
Invasion of Italy Planned.
Rome, May 24.—<Via Paris)—Aus-
trian military activity has been un-
expectedly followed by a sudden
slackening. This is interpreted in
military circles here as being neces-
sary to replace the Austrian losses
and to bring up fresh troops for a
stronger offensive.
The Austrian commanders evident-
ly are planning to extend the line of
attack, since large assemblages of re-
inforcements continue to be reported
along the banks of Lake Garda.
These troops apparently intend to at-
tempt to invade Italy along the
northern province of Brescia.
Mesopotamia Campaign.
Petrograd, via London, May 24.—
No news has yet been received from
Russian sources regarding the junc-
tion effected between Russian cavalry
and Lieut. Gen. Sir George Gorringhe's
force below Kut-El-Amara. The junc-
tion is regarded as a forerunner of a
real union of tho main Russian and
British forces in Mesopotamia which
is cxpected soon.

after almost three hours of discus-
sion and an extended roll call by
counties, the majority report of the
organization committee recommend-
ing the selection of Judge C. W.
Wear as permanent chairman was
adopted by an official vote of 42i
to 406.
Scenes of confusion followed the
announcement of Judge Wear's vic-
tory. His selection is expectcd to
clear up to a large extent the doubt
which has existed in the convetnion
as to the future program of Texas
democrats respecting prohibitionists
and the Anti-Saloon League of Texas.
The disappointment of followers of!
Thomas H. Bail, Dr. Barton and j
others was keenly evident, while the ;
opposing forces saw a way to clear,
up the work of the convention with-'
in a short time, something in the na-!
ture of a political stumbling block j
having been put aside.
All other temporary officers were!
made permanent. ,
Roll call voting was then taken up
on the so-called Ferguson proposition
of electing delegates at largo by J
naming one from each of the sixteen
congressional districts, the number
to comprise Texas' complement of
eight delegates at large and eight
alternates.
Vote on the election of delegates at
large proposition showed another
Ferguson victory by a substantial
majority. The count was 44C for and
389 against.
Mr. Dashiell advocated the oJtl
plan of electing delegates at large in
open convention and not by so-called
nomination by each district.
Governor Ferguson was introduced
to speak in favor of Judge Wear as
permanent chairman and the ma-
jority report. He was greeted with
profound applause. He declared
Judge Wear was of the "old class"
democrats, and favored him because
he wanted the people of the state as
a whole to name the delegates and
"not the Dallas politicians." He
charged A. J. Barton, Thomas B.
Love and Thomas H. Ball with using
"steam roller" tactics to foist upon
the convention candidates of their
own choosing.
Governor Ferguson said a Texas
delegation should go to St. Louis
prepared to defend President Wilson
In his stand on national prohibition
and woman suffrage and to defend
American honor by supporting his
preparedness program. He could not
countenance, he said, any movement
hy men who had been frequently
caucusing with William Jennings
Bryan.
Governor Ferguson regretted, he
said, that the prohibition question
had been raised, but because Texas
should send a representative dele-
gation to St. Louis, he asked his
friends to vote for the majority re-
port.
Col. Thomns II. Ball of Houston,
speaking for the minority report, de-
clared that Governor Ferguson at-
tacked democratic precedents, that
he would not thr jw mud, although
he had been slandered in the past.
He accused Governor Ferguson of
misrepresenting President Wilson's
stand on prohibitioT and suffrage.
Colonel Ball was accorded great ap-
plause in his discourse, possibly more
than any other speaker yet defending
the so-called Love-Barton program.
Colonel Ball said he favored the
standards of the Anti Saloon league
over the "liquor league." This caused
a demonstration. A second commo-
tion was caused when Colonel Ball

suggested J. F. Wolters was a candi-

Wolters arose and vehemently de-
nied the insinuation.
When Colonel Ball left the plat-
form, cries were heard for J. W.
Bailey. The former .pet) a tor was not
forthcoming, which caused some dis-
appointment.
By a county roll call vote, the ma-
jority report of the organization com-
mittee was adopted and Judge C. W.
Wear was escorted to the chair as
permanent presiding offioer. It was
a victory for the Ferguson forces.
The vote was 450 to 892.

convention, selected at district cau-
cuses of the state democratic conven-
tion, were elected as follows:

Children Need A
Warm Table Drink
Many parents understand that tea and coffee
hinder mental development and body growth in
their children, but are puzzled how to gratify the
little folk's desire for a warm drink, without harm-
ing them.
For years now, in a considerable, number of American homes, the problem has
been solved by
Instant Postum
This pure food-drink is made of prime wheat, roasted with a bit of pure, whole-
some molasses. It closely resembles the higher grades of mild Java coffee in color
and flavor, has a delightful aroma, and is so pleasing that the okler folks join the
children in this wholesome beverage
Where the test of the family stick to coffee, Instant Postum for the children
causes no extra work. A level teaspoonful in a cup with hot water and cream and
sugar to taste, makes a delightful drink instantly.
"There's a Reason" for POSTUM
