Kinney and Collin County.
Mr. Singleton Is a mull who Is al-
ways ready to help push any thing
that will help Melvtnnoy and Collin
County, lie lias traveled quite exten-
sively and knows that such things as
county fairs do assist materially in
milking counties better know through-
out tho state.
Willi a few men like Mr. Singleton
It would take no great deal of work
or pcrsuatlon In landing a fair to be
held In McKlnney this year. Other
prominent citizens of McKlnney and
Collin County have iilso expressed
themselves uH being in favor of a
county fair.
We sou no reason why Collin Coun-
ty should not have a county fair. It
Is the richest agricultural ocunty In
tho United States; ha.s as many
thoroughbred horses, cattle and hogs
as can be found In any other county In
the South; one of the leading counties
of Texas when It comes to rnlslng
fine chickens and other poultry; and
its farm products equal if they do not
oxcell those of any other county In
the state.
If the county fair could only be
launched one of the best, exhibits
ever shown at any fair could be seen
right here, and all of which could be
home products.
Lot's put our shoulder to the wheel
and secure a county fair. other
counties have made a success of them,
why not Collin?

past three or four years. He builds
an exceptionally good class of

Strong efforts have been under

anil Protestant leaders through Car-
dinal (Hbbons for the former an I the
Federal Council of Churches for the
latter, to secure Increase In the num-
ber of chaplains to one for every !,-

not yet passed. Consequently no
more than the old number of chap-

ent crisis.
Secretary Daniels recommended
the naming of wclfn.ro secretaries,
sucli as the Y. M. C, A. provides. Ills
recommendation did not specify Y.

they were to be such, and the Church

men as against ministers. They won
out, and ministers alone were recom-
mendede by committees of Congress.

been prevented.
"No other animal disease produces
such a loss," says the department.
"It is estimated that lu 1 K III there
wero 107 bogs losl per 1,000 from
cholera, and indications point to fur-
ther loss unless preventive 111 ensures
are employed."
The total loss of cattle from dls-

IImated «t 1.717,000 head, valued at
$*S,(It 1.000, and that of sheep at
214,000 bead valued at $8,581,000.
Tho aggregate loss of farm horses
and mules was fi2l.000 bond, valued
at $5t,000,000. The loss of cattle
and sheep, however, was less than
normal.

Washington, May I. The Depart-
ment of Agriculture has figured out
that the loss sustained by the United
States In loss of meat animals during
1813 by reason of disease and ex-
posure reached $ I r>0,000,000. Disease
of cattle, hogs and sheep accounted
for about $122,000,000, anil exposure
for the remainder of the total loss.
The loss Is looked upon as being
pure waste, since It amounts to the
normal meat supply for tho entire
population of New Bngland.
Figures Issued from the depart
ment show that $7S,ooo,ooo worth of
hogs were lost. In other words, 1,-
000,000,000 pounds of meat was de-
stroyed, mostly by cholera. The loss
would have produced nearly 800,000,-
000 pounds of dressed meat and lard,
sufficient to furnish every family In
the Cnltcd States of the average of
four anil one-half persons with about
forty pounds.
