Brown marveled at his composure.

“Now what?” queried Charlie. “Do

“It's un to you now, I think,” he
said. ‘T’ve brought you here, but
I’m not forgetting it’s your show.
We’ll stand by, and do whatever you
want us to.’
“Look here. T think this is the
best plan—unless you can think of
a better one. Stick the car some
where where it can be handy if we
want it. Find out the platform
where the train comes in, and then
wait. And then—”
And then? He paused and vi
sioned the arrival of the train. In
his mind he saw it draw into the
station—but. after that, his mind
was a blank.
“If I may make a suggestion,”
said Rupert, “how about this? You
point out the compartment. If
there's any obvious trouble, we’ll
deal with it on the spot, according
to how we think best. But if the
girl and the man are still in the
carriage, we—my friend and I—will
detain the man—tread on his foot
or something—”
“Yes. let me do that,” interposed
Charlie, with a grin. “He'll feci
me.
“—while you. Mr. Brown, run aft
er the girl and give her your mes

“After that." continued Rupert,
“the girl must have some say in the
matter. Her attitude may be
‘Thanks very much—I can look out
j for myself now.’ or it may be, ’Good
l heavens—can you help me to shake
| my pursuer off? In that case, Mr.
j Brown, make for my car. and we’ll
drive the girl to wherever she wants
I to go.”
“Yea. verily, though it be to the
j ends of the earth,” added Charlie.
“But suppose—suppose she’s not
; in the carriage?” said Brown, sud
i denlv. “Suppose there’s only the
: man?”
"Why. then, we’ll hang on to the
man,” responded Rupert, grimlv,
"and I’ve a notion that from the
humor we’ll be in, he won't like
us very much.”

ACTUAL CROP
SURVEY URGED
Texas Congressman To Pre
cent Plan As Part of
Relief Program
By RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN, April 1.—Crop estimates
based on actual surveys would re
place the hit-and-miss guess system
now used by the government esti
mates under a bill which Congress
man James P. Buchanan of the
Austin district has introduced and
will actively sponsor at the special
session.
Ceng. Buchanan will urge his
measure as a phase of the farm re
lief program for which the special
session of coneress will convene this
: spring, he said.
The bill was offered near the close
of the last session, so that it might
be printed and widely distributed
among members of congress, farm
cooperative bodies and other organ
izations.
Effect of a scientific survey sys
tem as proposed by Cong. Buchanan
would be to prevent the wide
“misses” in the government esti
mates and avoid serious injury to
farmers such as has resulted from
cotton and other crop estimates of
the past. Millions of dollars’ value
in the Texas cotton crop alone has
been destroyed by government
“guesses” which were far above the
actual production, it has been point
ed out.
“I will offer this bill the first day
of the new session, and I will work
for its adoption,” Mr. Buchanan
said. He will ask for hearings on
the measure before the committee
on agriculture which is now study
ing farm relief bills.
Cong. Buchanan's measure asks
for an initial appropriation of $250,
000 to be used during 1930 in the
survey of representative farm areas
in each state to enable the secretary
of agriculture to “obtain and pub
lish information upon the economic
conditions of agriculture through
out the United States.”
Sixty Agrarians
Will Be Added To
Matamoros Troops
Sixty armed agrarians under the
command of Col. Graciano Sanchez,
chief of the first regiment of Agra
rians of Tamaulipas. are expected to
arrive in Matamoros Monday from
Victoria, Tamaulipas.
The armed agrarian groups all
over Mexico have been offering
their aid to the gederal government,
which has thus far utilized them
as a police reserve to protect dis
tricts where the number of regular
soldiers is small or where these have
gone to Join the various federal '
army contingents in their drives on I
the rebels.

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING \
Let’s be really serious for a moment. What makes J
a bank really sound? It is CONFIDENCE to be sure,
I but what establishes confidence?
We’ll tell you. It is the men who conduct the
j bank. Our officers are courteous and obliging, con
servative, friendly. Our Directors know what is go
ing on inside the bank. It is their business to know,
and they DO know.
! Our stockholders are among the solid citizens of i
| this community. Our Patrons are people of influence ■
;j and worth. All these beget confidence, the one thing
j that builds up a strong bank.
