\ He Already Had it
Several cases have been reported
last week where people were badly
In need of fuel and had been un-
able to get any. In one case a
woman in delicate health whose
Husband is in Oklahoma, stood in
Urgent need of it.
Under the circumstances Mayor
Hahkins did not see anything else
to do but jump on to some "bloat-
ed corporation" with more coal
than they needed. The Denver
road was elected the goat, and the
Mayor ordered one of their cars of
COat confiscated, seeing to it at the
•ame time that he got the best
toal to be had.
The coal was taken to Hughes &
Holcomb, and instructions given
to sell in no larger quantities than
600 lbs.

Regarding an item in the Record
about a plan in Kansas by which
every person who owns an auto-
mobile must show an abstract of
it from the time it left the manu-
facturer's hands, Lee Satterwhite,
editor of the Panhandle Herald,
states that Texas has practically
the same law. Every car in Texas
we know must be registered with
the authorities. But Satterwhite
didn't clear up the situation yet.
There must be something wrong
with the operation of the law.
Cars are being stolen over Texas
by the dozens every day. The fel-
lows who steal the cars must have
a market for them or they would
soon be loaded up on cars. There
is a middleman somewheres who
turns the cars back into the marts
of trade. The automobile stealing
business seems to be as well
organized as was the horse steal-
ing business a few years ago.
There is a loop hole somewhere
in Texas' law, for automobile
stealing continues on a wholesale
basis. A law isn't a law unless it
is enforced. Give us the rest of
the chapter, Lee.
Now is the time to plant your
grass seed. We have both blue
grass and clover. Nolen Hardware

IT IS THE DUTY
of every American citizen to pro-
duce all he can, to make all he can.
By so doing he can help maintain
present-day prosperity, help solve
the important problems that con-
front us at this time.
We are prepared to be particularly
liberal with farmers and legiti-
mate business in need of funds.

CANADIAN TfEXA:
Three Indictments Against
Slayer of Senator Bell
The grand jury at Crowell last
week returned three indictments
against Mrs. Myrtle Gafford of
Crowell, charged with the murder
of Senator VV. S. Bell of that city
last June 21st. One bill charged
her with the murder of Senator
Bell and the other two were for
attempt to murder the two sons of
Senator Bell. Over seventy-five
witnesses were summoned before
the grand jury in their investiga-
tion of the killing. The cases were
transferred to Hardeman County
and set for trial March 15, 1920.
W. D. Berry of Vernon has been
engaged to assist the prosecution
—Quanah-Tribune Chief.
Rogers, Texas, the old home of
the parents, for burial—Farwell
Tribune.
Prison Officials in Conference
Austin, Texas, Nov. 15.—Prison
Commissioners W. G. Pryor and
Sam Low were here today and con-
ferred with the Governor, but
those in the conference declined
to make public the matters dis-
cussed. It was suggested a possi-
ble settlement of the Blue Ridge
litigation was discussed, but there
is no confirmation.
Mr. Pryor said the commission
has made its plans for next year
and that they would result in an
increase in the corn acreage and
in sugar cane; that the 3,000 acres
in cane this year will be increased
to 3,500. Because of the decreased
prison population, about 1,000
men, less cotton will be grown, as
it requires more men to cultivate
it, whereas one man can take care
of forty acres of corn.
With the expiration of lease con-
tracts some men will be returned
to the prison farm; in fact, they
are being moved at this time and
about 5,000 acres of leased farms
will be given up. More land has
been cleared, about 500 acres dur-
ing the dull season, and it will be
put in cultivation.
Because of the continued rains
the system is short 10,000 bales of
cotton, said Mr. Pryor, but it will
make all expenses and probably a
little more. It has sufficient funds
on hand to pay off the notes on
land purchases, but the holders
prefer to hold them and collect 5
and 6 per cent interest from the
state. "Penitentiary paper is good
nowadays," said Mr. Pryor, "in
contrast to times past."
The oil well on the Clemens
farm is down about 800 feet and
a small stratum of oil was found
at approximately 700 feet. The
adjacent West Columbia field is
producing oil at 3,200 feet.
Child Accidently Killed at Bovina
The Bovina community was
shocked and saddened last Tues-
day afternoon, November 4, when
it was learnod that Rex, the little
five year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. C. Bullock, was dead.
Some of the menfolk were busy
loading an emigrant car for Mr
Rumfield, and the boys had re-
turned to Mr. Bullock's residence
on horseback, to get a pet dog to
put in the car. Little Rex and two
of the larger boys were on the
horses; and when the largest boy
got off to catch the dog the horse
realized the situation and started
on a swift journey toward the
barn lot some blocks distant. Both
boys were thrown to the ground
but the larger one sustained only
minor bruises while little Rex was
thrown with such force that he
was killed instantly.
The remains were shipped tc
There is some cotton in Hemp-
hill County and there is a strong
feeling among the business men
that Canadian should encourage
the planting of five or ten acres
of cotton by each farmer in the
county. One crop of five acres of
cotton has already picked four
bales. If the aggregate of cotton
planted run up into a few thous-
and acres then the gin could be
put back into operation and a
market thus provided for the cot-
ton right at home. Cotton was
planted quite extensively here in
former years but the crop was dis-
continued when the price went sc
low, and the gin has not been
operated. As a diversified crop
five acres of cotton would be quite
a help to the farmer, and as it is
an early fall crop and a money
crop it would come in just right to
give the farmer a financial lift
until he was ready to sell other
crops or livestock.
The item in another part of this
paper from the pen of Senator
Sebastian advising the voters tc
stay out of the Democratic prima-
ries is interesting. Sebastian is
one of Jim Ferguson's satellites.
When the Senator shakes the
hyssop branch over the forks of
the creek the boys take another
chaw of Brown Mule and line up
to swat the Phillistines at the
polls. The Senator can show Tom
Blanton the highway when it
comes to getting down to the
heart of the tillers soil with peta-
fcg politics.
The case of the State of Texas
vs. W. D. Christopher, charged
with killing Rub a Curtis last win-
ter was tried in the Gray County
court last week and resulted in a
verdict of acquittal by the jury
This case has attracted much at-
tention in this county, both parties
having been citizens here and well
known.—Miami Chief.
J. M. Woodley, a citizen of
Shamrock, died at his home in that
city last week after an extended
illness. Eleven days before he
died he fell into a deep sleep from
which he never awoke, and the ex-
act hour of his death is not known.
Mrs. Lester Reed and her chil-
dren came in from Gem Tuesday
for a visit in Canadian.
