Many Sherman ladiis availed themselves of this service
last summer, as well as others from distant points, with
most satisfactory results.
Cold storage prolongs the life of the fur bji retaining
the natural oils, which are evaporated by the hot dry air
of summer.
Not only is the appearance of the fur improved, but
the flexibility and softness of the leather which supports it
are retained. v

tiie Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
[Ocean. .Major Gen. De Bogey C. Ca-
j bell, commander of the Southern llo-
lmrtnient. with headqttartera here, is
' lending his active support to the
i two propositions. In a letter recently
to Congressman John W. Garner, Gen.
f'aliell not only indorsed these propos-
ed military protective measures but
In* urged that the necessary appro-
priations* for carrying them to ful-
fillment lie made by the present Con-
gress. In speaking of the matter,
Gen. Caliell said:
"I believe that the erection of'the
fence and the building of tho road
would simplify border conditions, and
I would recommend it very strongly.
As I pointed out in my letter to Mr.
Garner. I consider (lie building of
the fence and the road as operations
depending one upon the other for
success. The fence would lie a means
of preventing lawless bunds from
crossing, the border easily and the
road would make it possible to keep
this fence patrolled.
•'During the recent difficulties in
Arizona, when I was in command of
[the Arizona District, the advantage of
the scheme were demonstrated,
"After, mgking recommendations to
(lie War Department I received au-
thority to have a wire fence built along
tiie border line at Nogales, Naoo und
Douglas. At Nogales, with the Inter-
national street for the border line, and
nothing to prevent smuggling or
passage back and forth, except the vig-
ilance of the guards, difficulties were
the natural outcome. If a high barbed
wire fence had t o lie scaled, or pass-
age under the eye of a guard had to
tie made through a gate, much former
passing back and forth was ended.
The fence worked equally well nt
Douglas and at Xaeo.
‘T believe it will lie as great an' ad-
vantage at any point along tiie border.
Take, for Instance, a party of bandits
wish to come across to steal cattle.
There is first a barbed wire barrier to
lie cut. Then when the party wishes to
return their means of return is
through tiie gap in the fence. If this
gap has been discovered by the bor-
der patrol, all the guard have to do is
to wait for the returning mauratfers.
Supiaise such u band was being pur-
sued. The band could not simply dash
across the river as at present, but would
have to* cut the strong fence or find
’tiie cut place in tiie fence when they
bairte through.''
Tim General also lielieves that the
ereetton of the fence would give great-
er security to ranch life in the Big
Bend district, and would he a means of
encouraging settlements hi tliat re-
gion.
'"In tlds district it would certainly
lie advisable to.havC the fence and road
run as near to the river as the topog-
raphy of the land would make possi-
ble,” he said, "ami not along the r«N-
road tracks, where the present towns
and settlements are located. Down in
the Bend are nmnv beautiful valleys
and sections of the country thftt would
make excellent farming or ranch
land. I believe tliat greater security of
life there would encourage settlement
and I also believe that the building of
tiie mllitarv road and the protecting
fence would assist in guaranteeing
this security.'’.

he went to the local depot to meet his
sister, who came on a belated train to
make him a visit—or rather tliat was
tiie original program, but It was not
carried out just as it had been first
outlined, |
The first incident in what later
proved to lie a rather “flusteniting”
experience for tiie parson came when
he reached the station a tittle behind
schedule time. I’asseiigers were alight-

o'clock, a dog belonging to Mr. and
Will Canghey, who live about 7 miles
southwest of Sherman, became sud-
denly mad and attacked their little

until the little boy began to show symp-
toms of that Infection. Mr, Gaughey
hurried the little fellow in to Sher-
