Washington, D. C. May 6-The
Comptroller of the currency to
day issued a call to all national
.banks requiring them to report
their condition at the close of J
business on Monday May 1.
In their answers to this call
national banks are required to
inform the comptroller of their
investments in foreign securities,
particularly those of nations now
'engaged in war. The result is
expected to show for the first
time just how much of the
$500,000,000 loan to the entente
allies came directly or indirectly
from national banks as wJl as
how much Germany or- Austria
may have secured through the
same sources.
FOR SALE -A good three
burner oil stove, good condition,
first $5 gets it. Call at this office,
Repert From. Crops.
Belton, May 4. J. S. DuBose
of Little River was among the
recent visitors in the city. He
reports having fifty acres of land
yet to plant in cotton.
He stated that he is glad thp
planting had not been done before
the rain as he can now "clean"
his land with the planting more
easily than he could with the
cotton on it
Louis Fite ot Shallow Ford re-
ports the replanting of popcorn
necessary on the account of the
cold.
Sam J, Hall of Killeen was in
the city today and reports his
cotton pretty badly "lost" in
grass.

WE WANT A LIVE TOWN.
It is up to us to prevent the big mail order houses from driv-
ing our storekeepers out of business, for several reasons, the
greater of which are that our community will be rubbed, off the
map if we have no business concerns and that our ownership of
our property here will not amount to anything in this event.
1 he Igcal stores, to a very large extent, make this town. The
taxes paid by our business men are the principal support of our
schools and churches. It is the taxes paid by our storekeepers
that pay for the local improvements, for the street lighting, for
fire protection and for all other communistic privileges and pro-
tection. If we permit the big mail order houses to drive our business
men out of competition, what will we have left? A place of empty
store buildings, an undesirable place in which to live.
If the mail order houses accomplish their purpose it is possible
that railroad interests will decide there is not sufficient business
to warrant the stopping of trains here because there will be no
reason, then, for traveling men to stay over in our town, no
freight to be delivered to our stores.
In such cases we will be trying to sell our property, but will find
no buyers, for who will think it? a good investment to buy property
in a dead town?
When we send practically all of our business to the mail order
houses in the cities there will no longer be a necessity for, or a
reason for, a town here.
It all resolves itself into the question: shall we have a pros-
perous town, with good local business, good real estate values,
good wages and good municipal development, or shall we have a
dead town, with pigs rooting in the principal streets, store build-
ings empty and with "for sale" signs hung up, no lights and no
fire protection. It all rest3 with us. We are the ones to decide.
Common sense and good judgment tell us to protect our inter-
ests, If we don't' who will? Every dollar sent to the mail order
houses means more unfair competition for oUr storekeepers and
less taxes toward the support of our community. Are we for or
against our community? Keeping our money in circulation among
our business men makes a live up-to-date town.
PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS '
Prevent Loss from Bad tggs
Produce Infertile eggs prevent loss from bad egg?. The Ion to
the farmers of the United States from bad methods of producing
and handling eggs is estimated at $45,000,000 annually. The
loss to Texas farmers is practically $1,000,000 annually, TH
value of eggs produced in Texas is estimated at $12,000,000 to
$15,000,000 annually. '
iso excuse por a rotten egg
There is no way to preserve eggs legally except by refrigera-
tion. Eggs will keep in this hot climate if the hens and rooater
are kept separated after all eggs are obtained for the "setting"
season, Fertile eggs must be kept below 70 degrees farenheit
Above this temperature, incubation begins. Infertile eggs will
keep at higher temperature.
ROTTEN EGGS VIOLATION Of fOOD AND DRUG LAW
It is a violation of the Texas Food and Drug Law to sell any
decomposed or putrid animal or vegetable substance. It i3 a vio-
lation of the law, therefore, to SELL ROTTEN EGGS, or have
them in possession with intent to sell.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES,
Keen the nests clean, rcathnr fha 0 f,;n. j:i Tr
the eggs protected from the sun in delivering to market. Keep
the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar. Market the eggs at least
twice a week, and oftener in hot months. Sell, kill or confine all
male birds as soon as the hatching season is oyer.

Mr. Farmer
The greatest single element in the sue-. ,.
cessful management of a Farm, is the -co-operation
with a Bank.
We also need this co-operation and we
solicit the accounts of farmers.
Help us when your yield is plentiful and"
we will help you when it isn't.
Make our bank your headquarters when-
ever you come to town.
