Jacksboro School Work Moving

Superintendent A. D. Willis re-

splendidly, indeed. At the open-

were prseent 270 pupils, and
much enthusiasm is shown by the
pupils in their work.
The senior class has already or-
ganized and entered upon the
last year of their high school
work with an earnestness that
gives evidence of a good class.
The athletic department is re:

expected there will be some very
interesting features along this
line during the year.

El Paso, Tex., Sept. 17.—Quick-
silver mines of Western Texas
are profiting from the European
war along with the copper com-
panies of Arizona and New Mex-
ico and the lead companies of
Mexica. At Terlingua, in Brew-
ster County, quicksilver is being
sained and shipped in quantities
and good prices are being obtain-
ed for the volatile metal. The
Chisos Mining Company, ninety
miles from Alpine, is qptting in-
additional machinery, is sinking
new shafts and preparing for a
long run. A thirty-five-ton fur-
nace has been installed and the
company expects to double its
output during the present year.
This company already has a twen-
ty-ton furnace which is being op-
erated night and day and The ad-
ditional furnace will more than
double the capacity of the quie!
silver mines.
Another deposit of quicksilver
has been discovered on the south
bank of the Rio Grande opposite

quantities cf this metal. Bu1 “mted bacteriologist for To-

PRESIDENT WILSON ON
THE COTTON SITUATION
Feels Maintenance of Cotton Sit-
uation Depends Directly Upon
Southern Bankers
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 19.—
President Wilson “feels that the
whole manitenance of the cotton
situation depends directly and
immediately upon Southern bank-
ers and they will have only them-
selves to blame if it does not
come out satisfactorily,” accord-
ing to a letter from Secretary
Tumulty to John L. McLaurin,
State Warehouse 'Commissioner,
spots or in irregular patches over
the surface without the discolor-
ed boundaries of the anthracnose
spots.
The anthracnose disease, in se-
rious cases, penetrates through
the walls of the boll into the seed.
Diseased seeds are likely to be
the source of contamination of a
fresh erop, either directly by
growing with the plant until the
bolls appear, or by destroying
members of seedling plants,
which become tbe source of sup-
ply of spores by which later the
bolls may be attacked.
This disease, like others due to
fungi, starts originally from
spores. These spores- retain their
vitality on fallen bolls in the soil
for at least twelve months; con-
sequently, a field upon showing
disease should not be replanted
to cotton the following season,
but should be used for corn, sor-
ghum, or other crops as distinct-
ly different from cotton as pos-
sible.

Federal Food Officials Will As-
sist Inspectors.
Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 19.
Two men from the Federal
Pure Food Department are ex-
pected here tomorrow to assist
State and city inspectors in hand-
ling the problem that has arisen
as a result of shipments of dam-
aged food products here from
flood districts.
The city pure food inspector
condemned several carloads soma
time ago, but it was feared his
authority was not sufficient to,
stop their sale so the State oft‘4-
eials were asked here. Since then
more goods have been condemn-
ed, but the inspector is not sat-
isfied with the situation. The
Federal authorities have been
asked to come and render all as-
sistance possible.
A report received here" today
was to the effect that two FoA
Worth dealers had lately been in
Fort Scott, Kan, and had pur-
chased several carloads of dam-
aged goods, and would ship them
here. It is also known that pro-
prietors of salvage houses have
consulted attorneys with the view
of restraining the city from inter-
fering with the sale of sueh
products.
