CATTLEMEN OF TEXAS FACING GRAVE PROBLEM FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 26. Texas cattlemen are facing a very serious situation which has its bearing oh the country's beef supply, due to their inability. to get. loans, according to A. C. -Wil- , hams, assistant , secretary of the Cattle Raisers' Association of Texas. He said that the money stringency was bringing about the depletion of existing herds and i preventing the building up of new ones. "More good pasturage is goiiii! to waste in the cattle country than for many years," Mr. Williams said. "Range conditions in Texas and elsewhere have been ideal jf or .the past year, and prices, though unsatisfactory, have not in general meant actual loss to the stockmen The relatively low "prices prevail ing have been in goodly measure a result of the inabilitv to obtain credits. .

"Many Cattlemen whose ranches were stocked were being comnelle to liquidate, and thousands of cat tle which should normally be used for breeding, or at least for. de velopment into finished beef, werf 'being sold for slaughter:" Kansas Town Flooded By Terrific Rainstorm Topeka, Kas., Aug. 30.

RALEIGH, Aug. 26. After defeating the Scales bill providing for the registration and voting of women in North Carolina "under the . provisions ' of the Nineteenth Amendment to- the Constitution by a vote of 49 to 38, the House at noon today, upon motion ot Representative Doughty reconsid ered and passed the measure upon its third reading, the vote being 52 "to 28. The bill was immediately sent to thfe Senate for concurrence in the House ataendment, which re stricts the non-payment of poll taxes to 1920, and ; provides that he act shall be in force from and after legal ratification of .the Fed eral Amendment, and after its legality has been contested and settled. Motion to reconsider the vote tabling the bill was made, by Rep resentative Doughton, strong op ponent of suffrage, who declared that the wise course to pursue was to enact the measure so that ma chinery for the registration and voting of women in this state could be provided in the event ratifica tion was completed. Mr. Dough -ton made it plain that in urginj? ithe passage, of :the Jlebill,- the Opponents of woman suffrage were no trnalfilr.'fy any the amendment was held up the measure would be non-operative. While Representative BfralTt. of Durham, was urging the' pass age of the bill Mr. Doughton in terrupted to explain that oppo nents of the Nineteenth Amend ment do not admit that ratification has been legal, but. that should the Secretary of State and the Su nrflme Court hold .that the tliirtv--M-th state had ratified, proper ma chinery ought to be provided for women voting in the November election. Speaking for the bill were Rpe resentatives Gold of Guildford and Grant of New Hanover, while "Brown, of Pitt and Sheppard, of Wake, opposed its passage. Before adjournment, the House, upon motion of Redwine, of Trnion, voted to table the Warren Senate bill providing for increasing the salaries of all constitutional offi cers of the State and .the hill granting increased salaries to other officials and minor emploves rt" the State.

USE OF 'PLEASE' ORWiraCOMON Winnipeg, Man., Aug 25. To say "please" in telegrams the people of Canada spend $1,000 000 a year and the people of the United States more than ten 'time?' that amount, according to J. G. Davies, superintendent -here foi the Great Northwestern Tele Traph company. He arrived at this conclusion from study of thousands of telegrams that have 'oasjsed through 'his hands. How ever, he says, patrons would save very little money even if the- cut Qiit the "pleases. Because, he explains, in about 99 out of 100 3ases, the "please7' is containe within the ten-word limit of thr (lay message' or the fifty-word lim it of the night letter - "So, it s the cioonpanv that pay? for tlie 'please,7 usually," he says. " "But we are glad to see it in so many messages. It ' bespeak courtesy and good breeding in bus iness," so its , use is! commendable, and J hotice that its; use is becom ing more and .more common."
