Gentlemen :
Replying to your recent favor, 1 beg to advise that this de-
partment requires members of farm loan associations t*» have
their abstracts prepared by persons or companies who have a
complete set of abstract records of their County. We make this
requirement because we believe that them is more likelihood of
getting correct abstracts prepared from a set of abstract records
than where abstracts are prepared direct from the county rec-
ords. , Yours very truly,
CAL-JM ' (Signed) CHARLES A. LEDDY,

Federal Land Bank of Houston, Texas, which is now clos-
ing five per cent loans on Denton County Farms. The Un- ,
ion Central Life Insurance Company, and other leading
loan companies alsp make the same requirements as to
the abstracts they accept.
We have the only complete, modern and absolutely
up-to-date abstract plant in Denton County, and our
books are kept up with the County records daily.
Why take a chance of having to go to the additional
expense of having your abstract made over, when it costs
no more to have it made by a reliable company to begin
with? You may never want a loan from the Federal
Land Bank, but may have a chance to sell to some one
who will and you will have to furnish him an abstract ac-
ceptable to this Bank. When you buy l®nd, ask who made
the abstract yau are offered and whether or not the Com-
pany has a set of abstract books. It will save you money
in the future. Better be safe than sorry. We also do
conveyancing and all kinds of Notary work promptly and
correctly.

eleven of Texas Christian University
has just completed a wonderfully suc-

The team won seven out of its nine
games with a total score of 201 points
to 58 scored by opponents. The biggest
game of the season, of course, was that
with Baylor on Thanksgiving day when
the score was 3i to 0 for T. C. U.

it keeps him young. It would be a pleas-

We asked old Hunx to come
across with wartime contribution.
Tills tightwad is a total loss, except
for elocution. He'll stand around
and talk for hours in patriotic man-
ner, ami throw all kinds of gaudy
flowers at our world famous ban-

and all the porta sing it; and twad-
dle doesn’t cost a cent, so any man
cMI spring it. “Oh, Hunx," we said,
"don't chew the rag: shell coin>—
the soldiers need 'em.** . He ' tried
to switch off to the flag, and sundrv
’ boons of freedom. He told ffiiw
he would die and bleed, if he were
under thirty. "Old Hunx,” we said,
"you’re cheap, indeed; your soul is
pretty dirty. The nation blushes
for tha*. son with soul of neuter
gentler, who hands out language
by tee ton. when she needs legal
tender.” “I’ve given much,’’ Old
Hunx replied, explaining whv he‘s
living; "no worthy cause has been
denied—it seems I'm always glv- --
ing. ft realy makes me shed a tear,
the way I have to squander; I cough
up fifteen dollars here, and fifteen
dollars yonder.” And he has thous-
ands put away, and tens of thons-
amte hidden! And he is groaning
all the dav of how he’s nagged and
ridden! Before this war has had
