Use of Bank's Facilities Will
Be Gauged Largely by
Result of Propaganda.
' Dallas, Texas, July 6.—Some Idea
of the financial magnitude of the
Dallas Federal Reserve bank la giv-
en by Dr. W. P. McCaleb, deputy
reserve agent, who says the bank
can handle directly or indirectly, re-
discounts on as much as 2,500,000
bales of cotton.
On a basis of $25 a bale, which
he considers is a reasonable amount
tor banks to advance for six months'
time, such loans would aggregate
more than $60,000,000.
Use of reserve bank's facilities
will be gauged, to a large extent, by
the result of the campaign of the
Texas Bankers' association to con-
struct warehouses. Notes support-
ed by cotton warehouse receipts will
be prime, when the amount of the
loan does not exceed a reasonable
margin.
The warehouse building campaign,
which has been in progress for sev-
eral weeks, will Increase the state's
storing capacity to more than 2,-
000,000 bales if the hopes of the
campaign leaders are successful.
Dr. McCaleb says that in view of
the bounteous supply of money
throughout thp United States, the
Dallas Reserve bank should be able
to rediscount with other reserve
hanks the cotton notes which its own
resources will not handle. This is
why he believes that the local bank
I
can provide ways of taking care of
practically the entire cotton crop of
Texas.

Brenham spent a hilarious out-of-
town Fourtn ot' Jury. All roads led
to everywhere-—out of Brenham.
Barbecues, fests, speech-making, au-
to parties, fishing excursions, on
down through the list of holiday
pastimes, the Brenham people had
their choice.
Burton proved the magnate that
drew the largest crowds from Bren-
ham and elsewhere. Kenney came
close second, while the excursion
trains to Galveston had a smart
sprinkling of Brenhamites, some of
whom are there yet.
Barton "Mew" Itself.
In fact, Burton "blew" itself.
Practically half of the Brenhamites
who went out of town Monday took
the road that led to the barbecue
and celebration which made Burton
famous. Hon. W. B. Garrett, for-
merly of Brenham, and the Second
Infantry Band, Brenham's crack mu-
sicians, tied for first honors. It Is
estimated that nearly 200 Brenham
people heard both Mr. Garrett and
the band.
A large barbecue was served,
more music served as a side dish and
in the afternoon there were games
and sports for the young people,
while the goat roping contest fur-
nished amusement aplenty for young
and old. «
One of the features of the day was
the baseball game between Giddings
and Brenham, The local boys sim-
ply out-classed the Giddings bunch
and the score stood five to three.
Then followed a dance for the
young people and the celebration
closed with the grand ball.
Keiuiey Draws Crowd.
The little town of Kenney was
host to nearly 3,000 people Monday
on the occasion of the annual Fourth
of July barbecue, for which this
community enjoys a well-deserved
reputation for hospitality. Practi-
cally the entire population of Ken-
ney turned out for the event, and
there were hundreds of visitors from
Brenham, Belleville, Sealy, Wallls,
Nelsonville, and the various country
districts around Kenney.
At noon an excellent barbecue din-
ner was served. By actual count
1500 tickets to the feast were sold
whila an equally large number was
Served free. Various amusements
were provided for the entertainmeu
of the big crowd, and the festivities
closed with a dance at night.
Among the attendants from Bren-
ham were noticed Mr. and Mrs. J
L. Vann, Miss Grace Vann, Miss An-
nette Ray, H. Gardner, L. C. Rob-
erts, B. Eldridge, Jr., Reginald Will-
iams, Judge John Chappell, Mr. and

"We are arranging to have a

At that time we hope to have the
warehouse question freely discussed
by competent speakers. We built, a
warehouse last fall on the city's cot-
ton yard. The city operated the
warehouse under the emergency law,
but as that expires in August, wo
are taking steps to operate the ware-

ty are preparing either to uh-j the
warehouses already built or build

Dardanelles Scene of Great
Slaughter of Turkish
Troops, Is Report.
London, July 6.—Much activity
was apparent today in all three 9IA*
ments where the warring power!
come into actual contact, but report*
as to results generally were contra-
dict ory.
Berlin quotes a "reliable source"
for a denial of the report that S
pre-dreadnought was sunk In the
Baltic, but the official report from
Petrograd on the occurrence Is ac-
cepted as correct by London, whert
the resumption of naval activity la
the Baltic has been watched with
much interest.
It Is believed the Russians are
making a desperate stand between
the rivers Pruth and Dniester,
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-
in-chief of the Russian forces, r#*
ports that the fighting In southern
Poland Is of the most desperate
character, while Vienna admits that
the Russians are attacking in strong
force, Austro-German sources, how*
ever, declare this effort to be a for-
lorn hope.
Teutonic Army Unchecked.
General Von Litislngen's Teuton*
Ic army, after a fortnightly of ter-
rific struggles, Is reported by both
Vienna and Berlin to have reached
the whole front of the Zlota Lipa
river In eastern Gallcla.
Berlin claims Important successes
also on the western front .where in
the forest of Lepretre the German
forces are reported to have compell-
ed the obstinately resisting French
to evacuate trench after trench over
a 1,500 yard front until a thousand
prisoners, including a battalion staff
and a number of guns fell into the
hands of attacking troops.
Rumors are again rife concerning
the operations at the Dardanelles,
but the public curiously will be sated
to some extent when the morning
papers publish the vivid report front
General Sir Ian Hamilton, command-
er in chief of the allied land force#
at the Dardanelles, covering recent
operations on the Gallipoll peninsu-
la, where fierce fighting from JunS
28 to July 3 resulted in the check
with appalling slauhgter of a Turkish
offensive attempted under the eye of
Enver Pasha, Turkish minister of
war.

Mrs. Ulrlch Langhammer will
chaprone a bevy of attractive Bren-
ham girls on the trip, who are ex-
pected to boost the "Made-in-Texas"
slogan more than any other product
from the Lone Star State.
Those composing the party are
Miss Mattie Reeves Wood, Mrs. Ul-

berstein, Misses Selma and Delia
Hoting and Mrs. F. Fischer. Miss-
es Virginia Tomlinaon and Helen
Miller of Bellville will afro make
the trip with the party.
With indications pointing to a
paying, producing well, drilling has
been halted on tlie Schue^nber.s
tract and the officers of tho Brenham
Oil Company have assumed » policy
of "watchful waiting".
When the drilling was stopped
late Saturday, the well had been
bored to a depth of 1335 feet, with
even more evident signs of oil than
were found previously. After a
consultation, It was agreed to halt
further drilling, clean out the well
and make a thorough test. This
will take several days and until this
test Is made .nothing definite can be
learned of the exact situation.
Officers of the company are quiet-
ly awaiting results of the test, con-
fident that the oil signs point to a
paying well. It is not believed
there is a gusher. Workmen were
busy today cleaning out the deep
well and this in itself will take sev-
eral days Additional casing also
mux be Installed.

No, he doesn't claim to be the
champion tomato grower of Wash-

are merely goo dexamples ot the
kind that can bo grown in every-
body's back-yard garden if they
could learn Chisolm's trick. His
trick lies in careful gardening.
Three of his tomatoes are on ex-
