The Strike Situation.
That Congress regards the situa-
tion as serious, however, is evi-
denced by the various remedial pro-
posals its members have submitted
in the last few weeks. By a vote
of 284 to 1 the House recently
agreed to extend for one year after
the conclusion of peace the war-
time passport restrictions. “The
real purpose of this measure,’’ Baid
one of its sponsors,|“is to keep out
dangerous aliens who want to come
here to destroy the Government.’ >

stantly finding their way into this

Here are some facts about the
bell.
July 8, 1776, the bell was rung
for the proclamation of the Dec-
laration of Independence.
On October 24, 1781, the bell
rang out for the surrender of
Cornwallis.
April 16,1778, it rang out for
the proclamation of peace.
September 29,1824, it rang to
welcome Lafayette to the Hall of
Independence.
July 4, 1826, it ushered in the
year of Jubilee, the fiftieth an-
niversary of the republic,
July 24, 1826, it tolled for the
death of Thomas Jefferson.
July 4, 1831, is the last record-
ed ringing of this famous bell to
commemorate the day of indep-
endence,
February 22, |1832, it rang to
commemorate the death of
Washington.
In the same year it tolled the
death of the last survivor of the
Declaration, Charles Carrol, of
Carrolton.
July 2,1034, it tolled once more
Lafayette was dead.
July 8, 1835, while being toll-
ed for the death of Chief Justice
John Marshall a crack was de-
veloped,"starting from the rim
and inclining in a right-hand
direction toward the crown.
Another attempt was made to
ring it on Washington’s birthday
February 22,1843, but the frac-
ture was so much increased that
no attempt has"ever been made
to ring it since.
Its voice is silent,but its deeds
will ring in the hearts all patriotic
people so long as the r.ame of
liberty shall last.—Selected.
Big Cotton Deal.
Can the Kaiser Come Back.
The largest individual cheek ever
issued [in Yoakum was given by
Mess, Tarkington & Stapp to Dave
Kleinsmith today for the sum of
$100,853.31 inpayment of 500 bales
of cotton. The check was issued on
the Yoakum State Bank. Mr.
Kleinsmith has the credit of hand-
ling the largest cheoks in Yoakum;
paying top prices |for cotton he ac-
cumulates large quantities, and at
prevailing prices runs into big sums.
The deal wasghandled by Mr, O.
Gorssen. the general representative
of Tarkington & Stapp.—Yoakum
Herald.
Is the question that brings hope
to some and fear to others in Ger-
many, while in the Allied countries
there is a well defined suspicion
that Holland’s duo of uninvited
royal guests are in constant com-
munication with their friends and
conspirators in Germany who would
restore the monarchy. In London
according to the '‘Daily Mail”, well
informed persons express much
anxiety about the former Kaiser’s
activities, which include the recep-
tion of a number of mysterious
visitors from Germany, the ex-
change of many telegrams with per-
sons in Germany, constant com-
munication to some place in Ger-
many by telephone, a private line
having been attached to his Holland
residence from across the German
frontier which is only fifteen mifcs
away. These communications, at
cording to the “Daily Mail,” are
with agents of the still numerous
and powerful Royalist party in
Germany, and we are told further
that there is a suspicion that Gen-
eral von der Goltz’s recent move-
ment on the Russian frontier wss
carried out at the former Kaiser’s
instigation. An active second fiddle
in the scheme, we are told, is the
ex-crown Prince, who is “known to
be carrying on an intrigue with the
German Royalists and is receiving
many visitors who are open to
suspicion.” The sharpest warning
against a return of Kaiserism comes
from the Berlin “Vorwarts” which
treats “Wilhelm” as it calls him
rather cavalierly,and reckons him as
no danger to the young Republic,
for he is “played out in Germany.”
But the danger precipitated by the
independents, according to the
‘Vorwarts’ is that they give new life
to the idea of monarchy.—Literary
Digest.

The row among the Woodmen
of the World in Texas over the
proposed increase in rates of in-
surance resulted in rival meetings in
Waco, Oct. 31, and the opponents
of the increase decided upon in-
junction action in the Texas courts
if necessary to stop raising rates.
Demand also was made that the
salaries of grand officers remain as
they were prior to the meeting in
American language-Literary Digest Chicago.
The quickest way to build up
a community is to greet every-
one with a glad hand—not only
strangers, but the citizens of
the town. It gives the whole
town a cordial and hospitable
atmosphere, and strangers in-
stantly gain the impression that
it is a good place to live. So
greet everyone with a smile and
a hearty handshake. It is only
an occasional person that won’t
return your greeting in kind,
and you can afford to feel very
sorry for that occasional one for
he is having a miserable time
cooped up in his own little world,
completely surrounded by self.

First Car o! Pecans From Gonzales Loaded.
GoDzales, Texas,J Nov. 1,—The
first carload of pecans to be ship-
ped from here this season is being
loaded by Stahl Brothers. The
total weight of the pecans is about
33,000 pounds and cost the firm
about $5,000. The pecan price has
dropped considerably in the last
few days.
August Pape of Montalia is go-
ing into the honey and bee business
on a large scale having just receiv-
ed 600 hives to fput with 200 al
ready on the farm. He has ship-
ped considerable amount of honey
already this year.
J, T. Parr has purchased the
residence of Jake Stahl for $10,000
and will take charge at an early
date.
Farmers are gathering the fr»g-
ments of the very light cotton crop
and selling it about as fast as they
get it, but very few are getting 40
cents per pound, as the grades are
very low. Cotton seed is rotten
and not worth much. Planting
seed is scarce and nearly every
farmer will have to buy seed for
next year.

You Guessed It,
What has become of those wind-
jammers who distributed the litera-
ture last spring to reduce thecotton
acreage, They claimed that the
newspapers and the farmers who
would not endorse it were not-pa-
triotic. Now we wonder if this is
the same bunch that is hollering
now about a cotton shortage? You
will just have to wait until we get
this crop picked and the ground
plowed and give us time to plant
agin.’—San Saba Star,
