I have five thousand ucres of land for lease in Presidio
County, near where the Cull Company is now drilling a
test well. In the same vicinity I have over five thousand
acres of Mineral Bights for sale. This is said by geolog-
ists to be one of the lurge-t and most conspicuous struc-
tures in Texas, if not in the United States. If interested,

In August, PJOG, the Citizens Nation-
al Bank took over the first National
Bank, and Mr. 1'raylor, then TO years
old, became president of the consoli-
dated bank.
During his leva* career he earned
a reputation for unusual knowledge
of cattle finance. \* a result, he wus

During the war Mr. Traylor was
appointed director ol -airs lor the
Treasury certificate- of indebtedness
for the Seventh I edei.il Reserve His-,

distinctly unpopular. But I raylor, by i
arguments, by pleas, by appeals to j
patriotism, suc< ceded in popularii-i
