ceived from a Inajority of the farm
ers in Texas to adopt this planii for
maintaining the price of the all in
jportant product.
Mr. rtadford is of the opinion that
the New Orleans conference plan now
shows substantial benefits as regards
the rise in the price of cotton, which
increased in the four months since
that meeting from 8c to Ilc.
"Tho boll weevil and low prices
have convinced farmers that cotton
is not the only money-making crop for
the South," Mr. Jtadfortl said. "They
are very much in earnest in this
movement. A large number of farm
ers not affiliated Mith the union are
signing the pledges for reduction of
acreage and many others who have
not considered it necessary to sign
an agreement are planning to plant a
good part of their former cotton acre
age in other crops."
It was agreed in the New Orleans
meeting that reports and statistics of
the amount of acreage pledged for
reduction in cotton planting and ad
vices of the progress of the move
ment should be submitted to presi
dents of farmers' unions or the South
ern governors by March .5, and it is
expected a detailed statement will be
issued by Governor C'oltluitt, general
1chairman of the conference, and its
resulting organization by April 1 as
to results in this State.
BOYS AND GIRLS TELL OF BRUTAL TREATMENT
Claim Mills Charge for Drinking
Water-Tell of Police Knocking
Down Women at Lawrence.
Washington.--Girls and boys, 14 and
15 years old, striking mill workers
from Lawrence, Mass., testified Mon
day before the house committee or
rules, which Is considering a resolu
tion to investigate conditions which
followed attempts to send children
from the strike-ridden territory.
Children told of working long hours
for low wages, how they had to pay
the American WVoolen Company 5c a
week for drinking water, which they
described as "canal water." Some of
them told of seeing women beaten by
the police and children knocked down
and hurled into wagons "like bundles
of rags" at Lawrence a week ago Sat
urday.
Representative Victor Berger and
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, were
again before the committee. Both
made statements about the conditions
at Lawrence and both were cautioned
against the use of personalities.
After the testimony of seven or eight
children had been taken Max Bogatin,
a salesman of Philadelphia, was ques
tioned as to the charges of disorder
and brutality at the Lawrence depot.
He declares a soldier tried to keep
him in the station by guarding the
door with a bayonet.
THI RUSSIAN lilISTL IN ALFALFA HAY
Farmers Should Be Careful That They
Do Not Buy Hay Infested With
This Pest.
College Station, Tex. -- Farmers
should be very careful that seeds of
Russian thistle, one of the most per
nicious of all weed pests, are not
brought to their farms through al
falfa hay that has been grown in
regions infested by this plant
Dr. O. M. Ball, professor of biology
at the A. and M. College, has recently
discovered this weed, together with
living seeds, in alfalfa hay that was
imported from the Western States.
Numberless warnings have already
been issued by the college in regard
to the danger from alfalfa and other
small seeds which contain seed of
Russian thistle. This weed is one
that inspires a very lively dread in
every farmer. It is far more to be
feared than Johnson grass, since it
is wholly useless,. and since It Is very
much more difficult to eradicate
than this much-feared grass. There
should be the greatest caution in buy
ing alfalfa hay, especially that ship.
ped in from Colorado, Utah and New
Mexico. The thistle can be readily
detected by its stemmy structure and
by the bristly or spiny leaflets which
will prick the fingers when touched,
or when drawn through the hand.

TO10 ENCOURAGE ROAD BUILDING
I HIGHWAY LEAGUE FORMED WITH
THAT PURPOSE IN VIEW.
Road from San Antonio to Port O'Con
nor, Bloomington, Seadrift, Port
Lavaca and Placedo.
Port O'Connor, Tex.-At a general
meeting of interested delegates from
all points between San Antonio and
SPort O'Connor at the latter named
place on February 26, a permanent
organization was formed of the Port
O'Connor-San Antonio Iiig h w a y
League.
The new association has for its pur
pose the promoting of a first class
highway from San Antonio to Port
j O'Connor by way of Bloomington and
Seandrift, and to return by Port Lavaca
and PI'lacedo. The road will have an
other branch, cutting off from Cuero
and passing tihrougi Gonzales and
Seguin to San Antonio.
Bonds have already been voted for
more than one-third of the entire dis
tance, and the league proposes to hold
meetings in the other districts as fast
as possible until the entire line is un
der construction.
J. W. Warren of San Antonio was
elected president of the new organiza
tion, and Will 11. Vernor of Port
O'Connor, secretary.
A resolution passed at the Port
O'Connor meeting is to encourage a
I road from Port O'Connor to Houston,
from Houston to Dallas, from Dallas
to San Antonio, thus connecting with
the Port O'Connor and San Antonio
highway, and making a loop of the
State.'
The league went on record as favor
ing first class roads, for the follow
ing reasons:
First-As a benefit to the farming
communities along the line.
Second.-As a business getter for
the cities and towns, and
Third.-As an appeal and induce
ment to immigration and Investors
and to enhance the value of the prop
erty along the line of the new roads,
wherever built.
INCREASE IN I'.GES MAY END SIRIKE
Notices Posted of a 5 Per Cent Raise
By MIII Owners at Lawrence,
Massachusetts.
Lawrence, Mass.-An advance in
wages that will affect nearly 30,000
textile mill operatives in Lawrence
and vicinity, notices of which were
posted Saturday, forecasts the end of
the strike that has kept Lawrence in
turmoil for the last month.
While Lawrence strikers have not
agreed to return to work on the in
creased wage schedule, it seems more
than likely that the employes will re
turn to their looms this week when
the raise goes into effect
The 5 per cent advance is based on
the fifty-four-hour law, or, in other
words, the increase will be added to
the wages paid for fifty-four hours'
work a week.
The strike was nominally due to a
reduction in wages made under the
two hours' cut in time, but the strug
gle later developed a demand of 15 per
cent advance in wages, the abolition
of the premium system and double
pay for overtime.
Assaulted, Robbed of $3,000.
Houston, Tex.-G. D. Johnson, horse
and mule dealer of McKinney, re
ported to the police station on Wed
nesday night that to had been knock
ed in the head robbed of $3,000.
The robbery ,..,rred on Willow
street in the jiith ward, near the
Sunset freight station. Johnson
states that three men suddenly set
upon him, and one of them struck
him on the head with a rock. When
he recovered consciousness his wallet,
containing $3,000 in large bills, was
gone.

A IPPOROMNIENI OF SCHOOL FUND $2,914221
One of the Largest Ever Made in Tex
as-Makes Total of $5.50 a Child
Paid Out of This Year's Fund.
Austin, Tex.-One of the largest
monthly apportionments of the avail
able school fund ever made occurred
Saturday when the state superintend
I ent of public instruction authorized
i the statement that $3 per capita
1 would be sent out as the March pro
I rata. That means a total of $2,947.
t 227. And it makes a total of $5.50
t per capita paid on this year's appor
tionment, leaving but $1.50 per child
yet to be paid, the total having been
$6.80.
a The transfer from general revenue
t Saturday, as made by the controller,
i was $2,f30).230, being the tax collec
t tions, and with that on hand the total
available school fund was $2,935,230.
Thus the fnn. will have over $20,000
1 after making the $3 apportionment.
It is now confidently expected that
the entire $6.80 will be paid out by
M.1ay 1, which will be the first time
in years that sucn has occurred. For
the past two years it has been neces
sary to use the funds beyond the cur
rent scholastic year to pay the' ap
portlonment of that period. The in
Screased taxable values over the state
and prompt remittances of state school
taxes are responsible for the heavy
apportionment.
There are 991.409 school children
within the scholastic age enrolled In
Texas. The apportionment was fixed
at $6.80 per capita, or a total of $6,
741,581. Before this month $2.50 had
been paid. With Saturday's $3 the
total paid Is $5.50 per capita, or $5,
452,749, leaving $1,288,831 to be paid.
INSIRANCE COMAES TO PAY $5,50),000
On Fire Loss at Houston, and Outside
of Marine Cotton Association,
Amount Totals $2,577,210.
Houston, Tex.-At a meeting of the
fire insurance adjusters in Houston on
Wednesday a final report was made
showing the exact amount of fire risks
and liabilities of each insurance com
pany that sustained losses.in the re
cent Fifth ward tire. Exclusive of the
marine insurance and the risks of the
cotton insurance association, the ad.
justers figured that the total liabill.
ties of their companies amounted to
exactly $2,577,210.
These risks are divided among 103
companies and range in size from $500
to $142,000. In alarge majority of in
stances the policies must be paid in
fulL
The anmount shown in the report
does not cover all of the insurance
carried, for the marine insurance cov
era most of the cotton that was to
have been exported. Neither do the
figures show the amount of insurance
carried in the cotton Insurance asso
ciation. The cotton insurance alone
was considerably more than $3,000,000,
which makes the total insurance to be
paid out on account of the Houston
fire more than $5,500,000.
The relief work among the fire su
ferers continued on Wednesday in the
full measure, as originally planned by
the United Charities, although the
funds are coming in slow.
Largest Customs Receipts.
Galveston, Tex.-A new port record
was established in February, when
custom house collections reached a
new high mark. A total of $154,421.37
was collected. The former record was
established in September, 1911, when
collections totaled $143,923.69. Feb.
ruary's collections are therefore the
record by $10,497.68 The large col.
lections were due principally to the
heavy imports of raw sugar, 34,000
bags being brought in during the
period., Upon these an average o0
$4 per bag duty was paid.
Rivers Are on Rampage.
Victoria, Tex.-The Guadalupe river
overflowed its banks in several places
this week. The San Antonio river,
which forms the southern boundary
of this county, is also on a rampage,

Catarrh of the Lungs
Threatened Her Life
Miss Ninette Porter, Braintree, Ver

Peruna.
"I had several hemorrhages of the
lungs. The doctors did not help me
much and would never have cured me.
"I saw a testimonial in a Peruna
almanac of a case similar to mine, and
I commenced using it.
"I wras not able to wait on myself
when I began using it. I gained very
slowly at first, but I could see that it
was helping me.
"After I had taken it a while I com
menced to raise up a stringy, sticky
substance from my lungs. This grew
less and less in quantity as I contin
ned the treatment.
"I grew more fleshy than I had been
for a long time, and now I call myself
well."
