England. In land forces, Italy can put

England, while the former has bet-

h Johnson, a sixty year old
; of Phoenix, Arizona, inserted
nt in the "situations
column of a Phoenix news-
last week which read: “Job

Can lift the depression in

a had been prompted to such
by a dream.
400,090 Men Strike In
Nation's Coal Fields
Last Monday found more than 400,-
000 United Mine Workers responding
to a strike order. For months the
strike has been threatened, but each
time in response to a request by the
President it was postponted. Now
that the Guffey Coal Bill has been en-
acted, it is hoped that the strike may
be settled peacefully; the first day
found all workers behaving in a
harmless manner. It was believed a
settlement would be reached without
the winter’s coal supply being en-
dangered.
In Confusion
ax Raising Bills
-----being in session for ten days
State Legislature was in a state
sion over the tax raising
. The mixup over old age pensions
become so complicated in the law
body that no one professes
know any solution and many mem-
have become timorous of both
ay and hasty action. The following
proposals have been made for get-
ting the needed money for the pen-
sions, but no action on any has been
taken to date: three per cent sales
tax, liquor tax, per capita tax, levy
on all natural resources, and the “sin-
gle shot’’ tax. Some of the opinion
that no tax will be levied this ses-
sion, as the Federal government will
not be ready to help until in January,
1936. ■
Divorced Husband Kept
As Cook For Wife
Adrian Van Leiden’s wife did not
think much of him as a husband, but
rated him highly as a cook. Mrs. Van
Leiden got a divorce last week and
her husband went on his way. The
lunch wagon in which the Van Leid-
ens had been working with the hus-
band as cook, did not do as well, as
the customers missed his cooking.
The former wife notified the former
husband that she would like to have
him back as cook.
Texas Leads All States
In Sheep and Wool
Texas is the leading State in both
the number of sheep and in wool pro-
duction. About 14 per cent of the pro-
duction of the United States comes
from this State. Montana is second.
Texas has 83 per cent of the Angora
goats and produces approximately
that per cent of the Nation’s mohair.
Texas wool and Texas mohair are of
the finest quality.
Autolsts of Mississippi
To Ride on Cotton Roads
Mississippi’s first cotton road was
laid Tuesday with ceremonies to be
attended by a group of Federal and
State officials. A stretch of nearly a
mile of the twenty-foot wide Green-
ville-Scott highway is to be thatched
with a layer of cotton to demonstrate
the method of using cotton fiber in
reinforcing farm-to-market roads.
The method is not exactly new as it
has been used before to a small de-
gree.

Thousands of Fish
Die on Coast of Texas
Along the sea coast of Texas thou-
sands of dead fish have been washed
ashore during the past month. Every-
one has been at a loss to determine
the cause until a report was made
by Dr. E. J. Lund of the University
of Texas and Dr. A. H. Wiebe of the
Texas game commission. It appears
that there has been so much flood
water drained into the Gulf during
the past summer that the tempera-
ture of the Gulf waters has been
raised and at the same time the
amount of salt along the surface has
been decreased; thus the fish living
along the surface of the Gulf waters
and in close to the mainland have
died from the sudden change in tem-
perature and salinity of the water.
Odds and Ends From
Around the World
Some rumors are afloat that Ger-
many will soon make a similar de-
mand to Italy’s—more colonies to
support her population. . . Penitas
near McAllen is said to be the oldest
town in Texas, it was established be-
tween 1523 and 1530. . . The Colleges
and Universities. report the largest
enrollment in their history this year
... If England and France had not
hogged all the colonial territory af-
ter the world war from their ally,
Italy, the latter might not be demand-
ing Ethiopia now. . . Senator J. Ham
Lewis of Illinois is in serious condi-
tion in Moscow, Russia; he is suffer-
ing from bronchial pneumonia.

^w h gIT FL0B^n edition gr
Dallas, Texas, Sept. 23.—More than
one hundred native varieties of na-
tive trees will be planted in October
to form the background of the $200,-
000 landscaping plan of the Texas
Centennial Exposition.
Sections of the Exposition grounds
will be devoted to flora typical of the
various parts of the state. A pine
grove will shade masses of wild
flowers representaive of East Texas.
The cactus, in its numerous varieties,
will typify the West. Palms and ole-
anders will recall the Gulf Coast and
its sandy beaches while the Rio
Grande section will be brilliant with
the tropical colors of hibiscus and
bougainvillea.
The crepe myrtle will be planted
by the thousands throughout the
grounds and its brilliant pink and red
will dominate the color scheme. It
blooms from June, when the Exposi-
tion opens, until Autumn.
The blue bonnet, state flower of
Texas, will have blossomed and gone
to seed before the Exposition starts.
Its place will be taken by the rose
and thousands, including the newly
developed Texas Centennial Rose, will
be planted.
IRRIGATED GARDEN PAYS
Dimmitt.—“A ton of food has been
taken this year from my garden plot
of about 100 feet by 200 feet,” Mrs.
Edd Peacock of Castro county has re-
ported to Miss Izora Clark, home dem-
onstration agent. “Of this amount,
half has been used to supply the fam-
ily table and the other 1000 pounds
canned,” she said.
Mrs. Peacock lives in one of the
driest areas of the Plains country,
and she has been able to have this
garden by use of an ample supply of
water from two storage tanks.
“We have eaten from our garden
since early May, and now with our
first good showers of the entire year
our garden is producing the heaviest
yield,” she said. “We have had ripe
tomatoes since the first of August,
and have gathered two tubs of Eng-
lish peas. More than 200 pounds of
cabbage has been made into kraut,
and there is still more in the garden.
We have 700 Bermuda plants and
when all are ‘harvested we will have
several bushels of sweet onions.”
