THE JOURNAL ADDS 500
NEW READERS THIS WEEK
All Paid-in-advance Subscriptions to
The Chandler Star are to be
Completed by Journal
As per the announcement below,
which apeared in The Chandler Star
of July 10, The Tyler Journal has
acquired the subscription lists, ad-
vertising contracts, the name and
good will of that publication, and all
rights of every kind inherent in the
proprietorship of Mr. H. G. Hull who
executes the bill of sale thereof to
The Journal. The Journal will be
sent in lieu of the Chandler Star to
all of the latter publication’s sub-
scribers for the period for which they
had paid in advance to Mr. Hull. 'This
gives the Journal about 500 new read-
ers, exclusive of exchanges, not
counted; and 298 of these are for
periods running from six months to
a full year; the remainder of the list
are for six months and, shorter per-
iods. ------------
Distribution of New Subscribers Fine
For Tyleii Advertisers
Practically all of these subscrip-
tions have been secured by Editor
Hull thru his personal efforts since
he acquired the rights of a paper
previously published at Chandler and
began the publication of his paper
under a new name and policy some
three months ago. With a very few
exceptions, they are all in the Chand-
ler and adjacent territory, which will
thereby make The Journal a more
valuable advertising medium for Ty-
ler business houses, by virtue of The
Journal’s having acquired this block
of circulation. In other words, the
500 additional circulation acquired
by The Journal is distributed princi-
pally at Chandler and the three rural
routes from Chandler, at Browns-
boro, Canton, Edom and Ben Wheeler.
Tyler, Tyler Rt. 2, and Murchison,
and some points in northeastern Van
Zandt receive all the remainder of
this circulation excepting the few
which go to various parts of the State
as single wraps. All the territory
in the Eastern part of Henderson and
Van Zandt counties is closer to Tyler
than it is to any other large business
and trading center. Good roads and
highways connect Tyler with most
of this temtory. The acquisition by
The Journal of this large paid-in-ad-
vance list of readers is this very
close-in territory means that Tyler
advertisers who advertise in The
Journal can get their business mess-
ages over to 500 additional homes
that have never hitherto been reach-
ed by any Smith county paper. It
means that The Journal is an instru-
mentality within the advertser’s
reach for bringing much additional
trade to Tyler which hitherto the Ty-
ler advertiser has not been ablq to
reach directly.
A Word to Our 500 New Readers
It is the purpose of The Journal
to try to live up to the commendation
which Editor Hull gave you in his
publication last week when he an-
nounced that his publication would be
suspended. The Journal will endeav-
or to give you a local and general
news service of the highest order to
be had in a weekly publication of the
class to which this paper belongs.
County lines do not mean anything
nowadays, except to mark off civil
and political units. We are all neigh-
bors with common interests. Good
roads and the auto have made us so.
The Journal wants to think in terms
of its entire clientele of readers. Its
Editor desires that every home into
which it may go and every man, wo-
man and child who may read it may
find it interesting and profitable.
It is the policy of The Journal to
have no credit subscriptions. All pa-
pers will carry, right opposite your
name, an index showing when your
time is out—and the paper will be
discontinued at that fiipe, unless re-
newal is in hand. For example: John
Smith--1-26, means that his time
is out Jan. 1, 1926, Bill Jones—:—5-26,
means that his time , is out May 1,
1926; Sam Brown-11-25, means
that his time is out Nov. 1, 1925.
Anouncement by Editor of Chandler
Star
Following is the anouncement of
Editor H. G. Hull of the Chandler
Star respecting the suspension of his
publication and the transfer of his
rights and interests to The Tyler
Journal:
“It is with regrets we announce
that The Star will be forced to sus-
pend publication with the present
issue for lack of advertising support.
The Star has been operated by the
present management for the past
three months at a loss every week.
We have striven to give the people
MISS ETHEL FINKS VOTED
FINE VACATION BY TY-
LER CHAMBER COMMERCE
At a recent meeting of the Direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce,
Miss Ethel Finks, popular and hard-
workng Assistant Secretary of that
body was voted a six-weeks vacation
with salary continued, in attestation
of the very efficient services she has
rendered during the five years of her
connection with that body. This com-
pliment is but a fitting reward for
her untiring efficiency and constant
fidelity to the interests of the Cham-
ber; and her good luck will be heard
of with pleasure by her scores of
friends thruout rthe State whom she
has met in her official capacity, and
no less so by the thousands here in
Tyler who know of her work
Miss Finks expects to make ail auto Most of the delegates will come
tour thruout the North and East, their own autos, 53 per cent of all
She will be accompanied by Mrs. G
G. Brazelton and Miss Meta Rowland.
George McDonald and probably a
member of his family will complete
the party. They expect to leave
about week end and will go to Wash-
ington, Philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton and other New England points.
They will then “swing back” thru
Canada and touch at Detroit, Chica-
go and many other interesting cities
between here and there. Good luck
to you, Miss Ethel, and to your party.
We are sure you will not forget to
sell Tyler and East Texas to all the
people you meet along the way.
GRESHAM STILL SHIPPING
TOMATOES IN CAR LOTS
AND BY TRUCK
Gresham, July 15.—People used to
think that the commercial tomato
shipping season in East Texas ought
to end the latter part of June, or ear-
ly July. Gresham growers are show-
ing that the season need not end at
all till Jack Frost comes—at least
they are projecting their activities
toward that end. Car lot shipments
have gone out every day since the
season opened, except on July 4, a
national holiday. On Saturday six
cars went out, on Monday four or five
went out. They have brought 75 to
85 cents, and some cars of recent
shipments have brought a dollar per
crate. More car lot shipments are to
be made.
While Gresham has not distinguish-
ed itself as a peach center, yet ship-
ment of peaches and of certain kinds
of truck and vegetables, besides to-
matoes, are generous and are bring-
ing the growers very gratifying re-
turns. More peach orchards will be
developed here in the future, and the
present.young acreage will in future
years give the community a large
place in the peach ndustry. :
EAST TYLER M. E. CHURCH
CLOSED REVIVAL SUN. NIGHT
The revival services at the East
Tyler Methodist Church closed Sun-
day evening, July 12 with splendid
results. Rev. A. A. Kidd, pastor-
evangelist, of Greenville, conducted
two services daily under the taber-
nacle adjoining the church.
Large crowds attended the meet-
ings and everyone was greatly pleas-
ed, there being fifteen added to the
membership. Rev. Kidd left immedi-
ately to conduct a meeting near Com-
merce. A good offering was taken
for him.

Advance reports of prospective at-
tendance at the annual meeting of
the State Rural Letter Carriers’ As-
sociation to be held here Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday of next
next week, July 20-22, indicate a
probable attendance of 800. This is

Association of the Third Congression-
al District.

dent within 100 miles of Tyler. Pro-
visions are being made for them to
camp at the East Texas Fair grounds,
where shower baths, ice water, lunch
stands and other provisions for their
comfort will be provided. The ses-
sions are to be held at the High
School auditorium. Most of the ses-
sions of the body will be of a business
character. However, there will be
many addresses upon subjects of spe-
cial importance to the patrons of post
offices, the average citizen, so to
speak.
A number of men of distinguished
ability in the postal service will at-
tend the convention, among them will
be Hon. Jno. W. Philp, postmaster at
Dallas, and Hon. Lucien Andrews of
Whitewright who is Secretary Treas-
urer of the State Association and
Treasurer of the Rural Letter Car-
riers’ Association. Senator Earle B.
Mayfield, Congressman Morgan San-
ders and Hon. Galloway Calhoun are
to appear on the programs of the
meeting.
FARM BUREAU COTTON
ASS’N TO MEET SAT.
Farmers and Members or IJody Will
Hear Address at Court House
At 2:30 P. M., July 18
M. E. Hays of Dallas, Director of
Filed Service of the Texas Farm
Bureau Cotton Association, will speak
to the cotton farmers of Smith county
Saturday afternoon, July 18, at 2:30
at the County Court Room. Every
cotton farmer, as well as the mem-
bers of the association in Smith coun-
ty, is ( invited to hear Mr. Hays discuss
co-operative marketing and to learn
of the great work the cotton associa-
tion is doing.
East Texas needs co-operative
marketing, according to G. L. Hicks,
Ass’t. Director of Field Service, who
is in the county this week in the in-
terest of the association. The cotton
association has just made final dis-
tribution on the 1924 crop and the
members who shipped from this coun-
ty have realized, in many cases, as
much as $30.00 per bale more for
their cotton than they could have sold
the same cotton for on the streets of
Tyler, according to officials of the
association. Mr. Hays, in his address,
will tell the farmers of the progress
of co-operative marketing and how
the association is handling the mar-
keting question. Every farmer is
urged to hear this message. “Co-
operative marketing,” said Mr. Hicks,
“offers to every cotton grower a safe,
sound and profitable way to market
his cotton,” and he said he knew of
no other way to emancipate the cot-
ton farmer except through such an
organization. Smith county has 877
members of the association at this
time.
INDIAN CREEK VOTING BOX
30 CREATED BY COM. COURT
On Monday the Commissioners
Court of Smith county acted favora-
bly upon the petition of I. G. Moore,
of Rt. 2 and 103 others to create a
new voting box to be known as Indian
Creek, No. 30. The territory includ-
ed in the new voting precnict is par-
ticularly described in the petition and
in the order of the Court creating the
new voting box; and it is roughly des-
cribed as the Southern part of the
Pleasant Retreat precinct. It lies to
the north and northwest of Noondayl
Mr. Moore, who took the initiative
in securing signers to the petition,
states that there are at least 150 to
160 voters in the new precinct. No
colored citizens signed the petition
and there were twelve to fifteen white
men in the territory whom Mr. Moore
was unable to see before presenting
petition to the Court.

COTTON BELT GIVES FARE
OF CENT A MILE TO FARM-
ERS’ MEET AT COLLEGE STA.
The Cotton Belt Railway under-
stands the value of profitable farm-
ing. It not oply maintains an agri-
cultural department which is, and al-
ways has been, a very valued feature
of the service it renders to the people;
but the Cotton Belt and its officials
are always alert to every movement
and proposition that may promote
the prosperity of the farmers of its
territory.
The Journal has had much to say.
by way of urging the farmers of
Smith county to attend the Farmers’
Short Course to be held at College
Station during the w<eek of July 27-
August 1. The Cotton Belt Railway
announces a rate of one cent a mile to
all farmers who may desire to attend
this meeting. That’s very cheap
traveling. Coupled with a like offer
made by the I.-G. N. Railway, It cor-
tanly ought to induce a very large
attendance from Smith Co. By all
means, Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, get you
a railway ticket and attend this meet-
ing. This Editor has attended many,
and expects to attend the coming
meeting. He can testify that no time
nor money you can spend will likely
prove so profitable to you. Judge
Fitzgerald, County Agent Gentry,
Miss Huffhines, County Home Demon-
stration Agent, and at least one Jour-
nal representative will go, and indi-
cations are that a number of Smith
county farmers will attend.
CHANDLER ANTICIPATES
BUMPER COTTON CROP
FRANK BELL TOMATO EXPERT
Page one Frank Bell—and a notary
public. The Journal is a great hand
to try to get the facts straight. The
occasion for this request comes about
thus: Saturday while Journalman was
away at Dallas attending to some
business, one certain citizen of this
vicinity giving his name as Frank
Bell came to Journal office and left
tw'o clusters of tomaloes, not many
in number, but in volume about the
equivalent of a peck measure. Those
tomatoes, fellows, were so big that
we hesitate to give the dimensions of
the largest ones. The three large
ones of the clusteis were 5 1-4 inches
in diameter and otherwise duly pro-
portioned. We don’t see how a town
man ever grew any such tomatoes—
that’s why we want a notary public.
Before taking them in triumph, and
with joy unfeigned, to our dining
room table, we showed them t® sever-
al of our friends—merely showed
them—and it was the unanimous ver-
dict that if, and provided, our friend,
Frank Bell, did grow these tomatoes
in his garden as he alleges, then and
in that event a mighty good farmer
was actually spoiled when Frank Bell
quit the farm to be a town man. Now
Frank Bell is going to be mad with
us for calling for a notary pubic to
bolster up and confirm the allega-
tions in me premises. But Journal-
man just can’t see how any town man
can produce such tomatoes and of
such quality. O man, those tomatoes
were absolutely the biggest and best
tomatoes' we ever saw. We don’t
know the variety, but they ought to
be called Frank Bell Premier, or the
Smith County Tomato Ponderosa.
They ought.
Special to The Journal:
Chandler, July 14.—Farmers in
this territory are jubilant over the
outlook for a bumper cotton crop this
fall, with the best prospects that have
prevailed here at this season in the
past five years. A number of farm-
ers have stated that they would make
from one-half to a bale per acre with
noi’mal conditions prevailing the re-
mainder of the season. Traveling
men who cover a large portion of the
State and make Chandler have stated
to Journal representative that crop
prospects are better around Chandler
than any other section of their ter-
ritory. Corn, while materially dam-
aged by dry weather when it most
needed rain, will make a fairly good
yield and farmers as a whole will not
have to buy as much feed another
year as they did this.
The recent rains have caused toma-
to plants to put| on a “second crop”
and Chandler has been shipping an
average of 150 crate per day for the
past ten days, with the receipts grad-
ually increasing, according to a state-
ment made by J. D. Evans, local Cot-
ton Belt agent, bringing the growers
around 75 cents per crate.

Nature of Farm Programs
Aside from the sectional program*
which were' addressed by expert* in
various phases of farm activities and
economies, general addresses to all
the farmers were made. On Tuesday
Judge J. W. Fitzgerald, leader of the
" inty 10-year better farming
delivered an address on bis
observations in the Carolinas and
Georgia where soil building, terrac-
ing and intensive fertilization and cul-
tivation have been really reduced to
practical and exact science. The
Judge was literally “full of his sub-
ject” and his speech whs manifestly
appreciated by the great throng of
Rusk county fanners who heard him.
E. Gentry, County Agent of Smith
County, also addressed the meeting.
The short course is under the direc-
tion of J. E. Stanford and Miss Sallie
F. Hill, District Supervisors of the
Extension Department of the A. &
M. College. Mr. Stanford is a native
of Rusk county.
Judge Watson opened the short
course with an address of welcome.
V. R. Glazener of A. & M. College
spoke on the importance of the pool-
try industry; J. H. McClain spoke on
dairying industries; and E. A. Miller,
also of the A. & M. College discussed
objects and methods of fertilization.
Miss Sallie F. Hill and Miss Bess
Edwards of the Home Demonstration
Department discussed a number of
matters of primary interest farm
women.
Barbecue for 3,000 Farmers
On Tuesday the business meh
Henderson served a barbecue dir
to the farmers. Eighteen hundred
plates were prepared at the first serv-
ing, and 1200 additional plates were
served in order to provide a meal for
all. This gives some idea of the at-
tendance of farmers at the Rusk
County Fanners’ Short Course.
Sheriff W. A. Strange is a pretty
good fellow. While the county in the
main is law-abidihg, yet we couldn’t
get along without him. And our
Sheriff left Monday for Beaumont at
which place he expects to round up a
big bunch of men and bring them to
Tyler. They are not criminals, how-
ever, but the members of the State
Sheriffs Association in annual meet-
ing there. Mr. Strange is making a
campaign amongst them to get them
to hold their 1926 annual meeting in
this good city.

Chandler, July 14.—For the first

was being marketed at Chandler Mon-
day. The fruit is very fine flavored
and, it is said, will keep for ten days
without damaging after it has be-
come thoroughly ripe. It is being
grown here this year for the first
time by Clyde and Dave Cade, two of
Chandler’s enterprising young busi-
ness men. They have ten acres of
the fruit and are anticipating a yield
of twto or three cars. All told, there
are approximately 22 acres of Hon-

will be made next week. . -

every day gathering up tomatoes,

vegetables and going out at night
with them to the large markets at

produce may arrive at the door of
the consumer in a fresh state.
Every day trucks are to be found
at the market place at Gresham en-

farm produce for the same purposes
as those at Chandler. Similar re-
ports come from other places. Lin-
dale, for example, sent out an aggre-
