A fine rain of an estimated three-
fourths of an Inch or more fell today
throughout the Dublin (Country, fol-
lowing a shower last night which gave
a precipitation of a little less than a
half an inch. The rain of today is
reported by wire a* having been heav-
ier still further south all the way to
Menard and amounting to a very fine
rain west as far as Albany, which is
farthest direct news we received. In-
formation Was the effect that the
clear fork of the Brazos just west of
Albany was in high water, indicating
heavy rains west of there, probably
at Stamford, Rotan, Abilene and other
points in that section.
This good rain following the con-
siderable showers of Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday nights of last
week are such as to give an Impetus
to farming operations and dispel the
pessimistic attitude regarding crops
that was beginning to bear heavily up-
on all classes throughout nearly all
of Texas. Also to supply much need-
ed water for stock and for drinking
purposes in some of the western
towns, where lake reservoirs had
been exhausted and water was be-
ing handled by train. Now that the
drouth spell has been broken by these
copious showers and farm work can
proceed it is confidently hoped that
more needed rains will come our
way in reasonable portion now to give
us the harvest we so much need and
desire.
The city election of last Tuesday
developed quite a bit ot Interest, as
manifested by the heavy vote polled

clared returns follow:

TEXAS FARMERS CONGRESS
Plans are rapidly being completed
for the 21st annual session of the
Texas Farmers Congress, which will
be held at the Texas A. & M. college,
College Station, oil July 29, 30 and 31.
The week previous to the farmers
congress will be given over to the
regular short course work or school
which is conducted annually by the
A. & M. college, at which time sub-
jects are studied that are essential
to better agricultural methods in this
state. Most of those attending the
farmers short course will remain o'er
for the three days session of the farm-
ers congress. At this time men of a
national reputation will address the
genera) sessions of the congress as
well as the sectional meetings of the
affiliated organizations.
It is the view of the department of
agriculture and the college that all
the normal activities in behalf of the
agricultural development and rural
welfare should be continued and main-
tained at full efficiency. By all
means make plans, not for any ex-
traordinary undertakings, hut for the
orderly and well considered under-
takings that have so long marked the
cturse of the farmers congress and
out of which has come so much good
for the agricultural and rural life
The expense of attending is small
indeed compared to the real benefit
and profit derived from the meetings.
A registration fee of fifty cents a day
will be charged to take care of inci-
dental expenses and meals which are
served In Shisa hall are at cost.
Most likely thirty five to fifty cents
per meal will cover this item. No
charge is made hv the college for the
use of the rooms in the dormitories,
where all visitors will he made per-
fectly comfortable. Two buildings
j will he set aside for the use of women
and girls exclusively.
Begin now to make plans to attend
