NEWS IN BRIEF
Heavy flood losses are report-
ed from northern part of New
Mexico and south Colorado,
Frost Monday morning did
damage to crops in Oklahoma.
Frost was also reported in west-
ern Texas, at Snyder.
It is expected that Clarence
Ousley of Fort Worth will soon
announce for Senator. There
are already four in the race.
Denton county now has a sheep
inspector, G. C. Master, who was
recently appointed by the Com-
misouers' court, under the new
law which provides for such ap-
pointment on request of four or
more resident sheep owners the j
salary of the inspector is $200
per annum. There are some- ;
thing over 6,000 head of sheep in

The city authorities of Berlin, |
Germany, has gone into business
with the view of relieving the
high cost of living that is worry-
ing people in that country as
well as the people of America.
That city is bringing fish from
the North Sea and selling to the
retail dealers who are required
to sell at a price named by the
city authorities. Does'nt this
border somewhat on Socialism?
When the world gets more dens-
ly populated and the affairs of
life more complicated will not
the necessity for such work be-
come greater?

Walked 13,000 Hiles.
Alonzo Wood, formerly a citi-
zen of this community, was in
the city Second Monday. He
was on his way from Oklahoma
to the Dallas Fair, and expected
to stop off to see his brother, W.
P. Wood, near Aubrey. Mr.
Wood holds the record of having
walked 13,000 miles in a little
over two years.
On April 4, 1909, Mr. Wood
and his wife left San Francisco
for Seattle, Wash., walking and
drawing a camp wagon with con-
tents weighing 125 pounds. At
Seattle they stayed five month3
during the Exposition, after
which they walked on into Brit-
ish Columbia, circling around
and returning to San Francisco
in June, 1910, 14 months after
starting and having walked 6,-
798 miles,worn out six or seven
sets of wheels on the wagon, 13
pairs of shoes and 114 pairs of
sox. At San Francisco his wife
died. He then resuned his jour-
ney alone, headed for Texas.
He reached Galveston April 22,
1911 at 8:41 p. m., having com-
pleted 13,000 miles. He has a
long list of signatures along the
route, including the Governors
of the states through which he
passed, also of the principal
newspapers. The conditions
were that he was to leave with-
out a cent of money and earn
his way. This he did by selling
post cards pictures of himself
and wife. For his task he is to
receive S2000 and earnings when
, he returns to his home at Los
Angeles, Cal. He has written a
book on his trip which is now in
the hands of the publishers. He
| remembers many people here at
Pilot Point although he has been
away for 23 years or more.
C. P. Rodgers, who is flying
from New York to the Pacific
Coast leaves Kansas City to-day
and will follow the M. K. & T.
Railroad to San Antonio. He
will probably pass through here
the first of next week, his train
which is following hin going ov-
er the M. K. & T. track.
Contest of Bob and Alf,
According to newspaper state-
ments, Senator Bob Taylor of
Tennessee and his brother, Alf,
are to have another one of those
unique entertainments called the
Fiddler's contest, or the War of
Roses. The two brothers, one a
democrat and the other a repub-
lican, will be contestants for the
same seat in the United State*
Senate and che campaign will
open at Jonesboro with a free
lecturo by Bob, after which the
brothers will engage in joint de-
bate. They were aspirants for
the governor's office years ago,
and Bob carried the fiddle thru-
out the campaign and actually
fiddled himself into office.
In the contest each wore a ro^e
on the lapel of his coat, and the
campaign was called the "War
of Roses."—Honey Grove Citi-
zen.
Misses Rhea Ellis and Mabel
Gainer who are attending the C.
I. A, at Denton spent Sunday
and Monday here with home
folks.
A fine rain fell here last Fri-
day night, which settled the dust
and made Second Monday much
more pleasant than it would have
been.
