Washington, August 4. —The
$50,000,000 of government funds
about to be made will be placed
in banks of the large cities in the
agricultural regions of the south
and west upon the condition and
expectation, said treasury offic-
ials Saturday, that these banks
Will distribute the money to the
country banks at reasonable rates
of interest. While the treasury
department will not attempt to
fix the rate of interest because it
has no such power, it will insist
upon equitable treatment so that
the money will be available for
the marketing and movement of
crops at reasonable rates.
New Orleans and Atlanta will
be among those to receive a sub-
stantial share of the $50,000,000
for distribution in the south.
Large deposits will be m ade in
Chicago and St. Louis.
Assistant Secretary Williams
said it was necessary for the gov-
ernment to place the money in
tho large channels because it
would be impracticable to pass
upon the quality of commercial
paper as security if the deposits
wers scattered indiscriminately
\ among a great number of banks.
“The Treasury Department,’’
said Mr. Williams, “has been
> showered with telegrams from
6anks_and bankers through the
'south and west expressing the
strongest possible commendation
of the secretary’s policy. ’ ’
While the department will
stipulate that the money must be
returned after the crops have
been moved and will fix dates for
its gradual flow back to the gov-
ernment, the conditions, it is
said, will not be hard and will be
changed should unforeseen cir-
cumstances indicate that the
banks should have more time to
make the repayments.
Applications from National
banks in the west and south for
part of the government funds to
be placed on deposit during the
crop-moving season, continue to
reach the treasury department,
but they have not been compiled
and officials are not ready for an-
nouncement as to the amount of
money applied for.
The department today gave out
a short statement saying that it
had been “showered with tele-
grams from banks and bankers
throughout the west and south
expressing the strongest possi-
ble commendation of the secre-
No store is so small or town so
insignificant that it does not pay
the merchant to advertise. He
should send a weekly message in-
to the homes of the people in his
trade territory. They are all in-
terested in bargains and consist-
ent and conscientious advertising
cannot fail to pay for itself over
and over again during the year.
The country merchant ofttimes
takes it for granted that the peo-
ple know his line of goods and
will come to the old stand to
make their purchases, but the
wise merchant knows that busi-
ness follows an ad. The mer-
chant who does not advertise
cannot do business in competi-
tion with one who advertises.
No business is so small that a
merchant cannot afford to take a
half page or a page ad the year
around. Try it and watch your
business grow.

The president of the Continen-
tal and Commercial Bank of Chi-
cago, the largest bank in the en
tire west, telegraphs as follows:
“Plan proposed is most practi-
cal and will do great good, and I
believe will safeguard the situa-
tion. Please accept my congrat-
ulations.

an examining trial before Esq.
G. I. Grigsby at Posey Tuesday
morning and remanded to jail,
without bail, to await the action
of the grand jury, says the Sul-
phur Springs Gazette.
Miss Lizzie Faust, aged about
16 years, also of the Posey com-
munity, is the alleged injured
party. She says that Jones over-
took her in a pasture, made inde-
cent proposals to her; took hold
of her with violence, and by
force and threats accomplished
his purpose. She says he threat-
ened her with a knife. Her clo-
thing was said te be torn and re-
ports say that her face and neck
showed evidences of violence.
She reported the affair as soon
as she reached home and Jones
was at once arrested.
Jones is a young married man,
about 23 years of age.
Sheriff John R. Ray and Coun-
ty Attorney John T. Hyde, were
present at ‘the examining trial
and Sheriff Ray, in obedience to
an order of the court, took Jones
to Sulphur Springs and placed
him in jail, where he will await
the action of the grand jury.

Lewis Burk returned Monday
from Southern Texas, where he
went on a prospecting trip. In
northeast part of Jim Wells
county, 35 miles from Corpus
Christia, he purchased, from Dr,
McFarlin of this place, a farm
consisting of 125 acres, the con-
sideration being $5,750, to which
section he will move when he gets
his crop gathered.
While there Mr. Burk took a
