STATE SCHOOL LAND TO BE SOLD SOON

Consists of 59 ,782 Acres Re­cently Recovered From

Capitol Land Syndicate. 'Austin, Tex.—When the commission

appointed to partition the 59,782 acres of land that the state lias recovered from the Capitol Land Syndicate has completed its task, this land will be placed on the market and sold to the highest bidder, J. T. Robison, state land commissioner, announces. He added that his department lias been receiving many inquiries , concerning the land.

The land is an excess over the 3,000,-000 acres donated by the state fpr the construction of the state capitoi, and is situated in the northwest p u t of the Panhandle.

"The Judgment of the court In this land case," said Commissioner Robi­son, "provides that the recovered acre­age shall be selected from an area of about 500,000 acres. That the quan­tity shall be in a solid' body and of equal average value of the whole trace Three commissioners were appointed by the court to select the state's por­tion. I am informed by one of the commissioners that they expected to enter upon their duties some time this month. When the court receives their report and" approves it and a copy is received by my department, the law provides that it shall be surveyed, clas­sified, valued and then advertised for sale upon the same terms and condi­tions that other surveyed put lie school land is sold.

"Sales will be made to those who will pay the most for it, provided the price offered shall not be less than the price fixed by thin department,** continued. Commissioner Robison. "One-fortieth of the price offered must be paid in cash and a note bearing 5 per cent interest must l>e given for the balance. One may buy as much as' eight sections, though I expect to have that suitable for agricidture surveyed into quarter sections of 160 acres each. Bach tract will be sold separately and as a whole.

"In what county or counties the land will be situated can not be known untii the courts snail have approved the commission's selection. Sales can be made only on the first of January, May and September of each year.

Fort Worth, Tex,—Release of a tier of eight counties in Bast Texas from the hog cholera quarantine which has been in effect there for the last 18 months la probable according to Dr. Leon Q. Cloud, state veterinarian of the lire stock sanitary commission of Texas, who, has dispatched Dr. E. H. Harrison, assistant state veterinarian, to that section to make a survey of conditions.

The comities being visited by Dr. Harrison7 are' a» follows: Panola,

*$usk. Sabiner San Augustine, Nacog­doches, Shelby and Angelina. These counties, together with others in the same section of East Texas, formed a block of 25 counties which were quarantined because of the prevalence of hog cholera there 18 months ago. Three counties of the group were re­leased about nine months ago, Dr. Cloud said.

Should Dr. Harrison find conditions in the counties good he will recom­mend their release to the live stock sanitary commission for action. Sub­sequently it ia anticipated by Dr. Clond that Dr. Harrison will survey remaining counties of the quarantine area with a view of recommending their release.

Hog cholera has been scarce -in Texas during the last year, according to Dr. Cloud. In fact, he said, it has resulted in less loss in the last year than ever before.

The entire 25 counties formerly quarantined practically are clean of cholera, according to records of Dr. Clond and the bureau of animal in­dustry, co-operating with the live stock sanitary commission in hog cholera eradication.

Billie Brownie had come to call on the Cooky Man for a few moments, as be had been told that the Cooky Man wanted to have others hear his story.

Every one was out of the house, a n d only the Cooky Man and B i l l i e Brownie were talking*

4 "You see," said Billie Brownie,

"the Queen of the Fairies told me you were going to be all atone and that you would tell me your story, and as I don't like to be seen I came when she said every one would be out."

"Yes," said the Cooky Man, "they | are a/) out. Muriel is walking with her Aunt Marian and Muriel's daddy is out —they are all out as you heard. They thought it such a beautiful day it was a pity to stay in the house.

"And Tve no doubt they're right ••But I didn't care about going out.

I was afraid something might happen to me. I might fall down and get dirty, and I wouldn't like that. You see, some could fall down and get dirty and they would come home and get all washed and clean again.

"You can't wash a Cooky Man, though, and so if I fell down and got dirty I mightn't be liked any more, and I most particularly" want to be liked.

"You wouldn't think that a creature made of batter would have that much feeling, would you, Billie Brownie?"

"It does seem surprising," Billie Brownie said.

"Well," said the Cooky Man. "I must tell you my story, for it explains

"Muriel is a little girl who lives in this house. She is not very old and she is not very young. Of course, I think she is very old—she is so much older than I am. She Is over five years old, and when you're only a few hours old five years seem a long time.

"Still she is not so terribly old—I mean such as she would be if she were ten or eleven years old, or something very ancient like that

"Now .I've been made especially for her. Her Aunt Marian was making some biscuits and she said to herself:

"Til make some cookies, too, and I will make a special cooky for Muriel.*.

"So she made me—making my hand­some shape herself. Of course, it's not a perfect shape, but it's pretty hand­some, I think.

"Well, you see,. I am also oressed up for an occasion. And that occasion Is when Muriel shall eat me.

"I have raisins to look like buttons on a suit—they give' me a handsome look, don't they, Billie Brownie? And you will forgive %me4 for praising my­self up a bit. Others have years and years in which to say nice things about themselves, or else hear others say them, and I've so. little time that I Want to get in as many nice things about myself as possible.

"Then, too, it Is not conceited of met for I owe all this beauty to Muriel's Aunt Marian.

"As you will notice, too, I have eyes and a nose and a mouth of raisins.

"Don't you think my arms are nice with the five tiny little raisins on each hand to show where, my fingers would be if I had fingers?"

"I think you're a handsome Cooky Man," said Billie, Brownie, "and I love calling upon you, for I've never called upon a Cooky Man before."

"Pray pardon me," said the Cooky Man, "if I don't offer you a little food. X Jhave to save myself for Muriel. And I'm all I have in the way of food. I hope that Is clear.'*

"Quite," agreed Billie Brownie.

"But the story I wanted to tell you was this," said the Cooky Man. "I wanted to telj you that it would be nice if you could send t h e suggestion about to other aunts and grand-m o t h e r a a n d mothers that when

I they're baking it would be nice to al­ways make a Cooky Man for any little girl or little boy there may be in the house. For, Billie Brownie, a Cooky Man is a treat.

"Thai is why I am so happy and why I don't mind being eaten. If you're going to be a treat you're only too willing to be eaten—at least that is what a Cooky Man thinks.

"Hush! There comes Muriel. And now she's to have her Cooky Man. Don't forget to send around the good word, Billie Brownie.*

"I won't," said Billie Brownie, as he hurried away.

PRESIDENT SEEKS AID FOR

Says Congress Should Fi nance Farmers and Help Promote Diversification.

Washington.—Moved by increasing acuteness of the economic situation in the Northwest, President Coolidge Thursday sent congress a special mes­sage outlining steps for relief and quickened efforts of the federal gov­ernment to prevent further bank fail­ures in that section.

The. chief executive presented five methods for "organized co-operation on the part of the federal government and the local institutions of that territory."

Congress, he declared, should ex­tend financial assistance through a federal agency to promote diversifica­tion m farming by the wheat growers and lengthen from March 31 to De­cember 31, 1924, the period during which the War Finance Corporation may make loans. The diversification of the proposal, embodied in the Nor-beck-Burtness bills, is under study by senate and house agriculture commit­tees and the president's .message is ^expected by administration leaders to give it impetus.

The executive branches of the gov­ernment working in co-operation with private interests, Mr. Coolidge assert­ed, would seek to bring about the re­funding of- the pressing past due in

U. S. Policy in Mexico Contribution to Peace

New York.—The policy of the Cool­idge administration in dealing with the Mexican revolutionary movement wa* ieacribed by Secretary Hughes In at;, address in New York City as "thfi greatest contribution directly withiin Dur power, and in accord with our es­tablished traditions and manifest in­terest, to the cause of world peace."

"This hemisphere should be th'i exemplar of peace," Mr. Hughes said, 'and we look with confidence to thj creation of a unity of sentiment of th * American republics against resort t) the brutal arbitrament of force in po­litical controversies. To this end the United States gladly gives its co-op­eration."

Speaking under the title, "Recert Questions and Negotiations," before a meeting of the council on foreign rela­tions, Mr. Hughes also outlined the purposes of the liquor treaty with 3reat Britain, signed recently in Wash­ington, and explained why the admin­istration considered it necessary ro give up extra territorial rights in ne­gotiating the new treaty with Turkey.

The secretary's discussion of Mex­ico was prefaced by a recital of the *teps that led up to the signing of the two claims conventions by which the Dbregon government was accorded dip­lomatic recognition.

"After this happy result had be*:sn achieved," he continued, "and we were booking forward to a period of quiet and to opportunities of advantage to both peoples, suddenly there was in attempt to overthrow the established government of Mexico by violence. It 13 plain that the purpose of those en­gaged in this enterprise of arms is simply to determine by forcible meas­ures the succession to President Obre-gon,

"It is not a revolution instinct with the aspirations of an oppressed people. It is a matter of personal politics. It is an effort to seize the presidency; it means a subversion of all constitu­tional and orderly procedure. The contestants, seeking to overthrow iie established government, have taken possession of certain portions of ?:he Mexican territory and either are claim­ing tribute from peaceful and legiti­mate American commerce or are at­tempting to obstruct and destroy it.'

Mr. Hughes then touched on the re­quest of the Mexican government to purchase arms and ammunition from the United States. To refuse, he s:iid, would have been to turn a cold shoul­der to the government recently re­stored to friendly relations and "wc uld in fact have given powerful encoumge-' ment to those who were attempting to seize the reins of government byfor :je."

It appears that the commis­sion thinks so many highways have been designated it would be bette r to place them in good condition be fort making any new designations.

Wide distribution of Black and White Ointment has made it possible for millions of people to get the bene­fit of Its wonderfully quick effect in clearing disfigured skin, and making it smooth and good to look a t Deal­ers say it is selling faster than any­thing of a similar nature they have ever handled, and they attribute this popularity to the low prices at which It is sold, as well as Its dependability.

Most headaches due to lack of internal cleanliness

T V THEN you are constipated, W poisons form in the accumu­

lated food waste. These poisons, absorbed by the blood, are carried throughout the body. Headaches follow. Biliousness, sleepless nights, lack of energy, all result from constipation. Each of these takers away piecemeal something of your health and strength. In time, intestinal poisoning due to lack of internal cleanliness may cause the breakdown of some vital organ.

In constipation, say intestinal spe­cialists, lies the primary cause of

more than three-quarters of all illness including the

I gravest diseases of life.

Medical science, through knowl­edge of the intestinal tract gained by X-ray observation, has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gen-de lubricant, Nujol, ^netrates and softens the hard food tvaste and thus hastens its passage through and out of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness.

Laxatives Aggravate Constipation

Laxative* and cathartics do not overcome constipation,

says a noted authority, but by their continued use tend only to aggra­vate the condition and often lead to p<5rmanent injury*

Physicians Favor Lubrication r

Nujol is used in leading hospitals and is prescribed by physicians throughout' the world. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is harmless.

J Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopting the habit of in­ternal cleanliness. Take Nujol as regularly as you brush your teeth or wash your face. For sale by all druggists.

COURT UPHOLDS PATENT

U. S. Suit Against Chemical Foundation Dismissed by

Judge Morris.

CONSPIRACY CHARGE FAILS

Conduct of Chemical Foundation

Praised in Use of Former German

Pa ten t s for Benefit of Ameri­

can People.

Wilmington, Del,—In a sixty-two page decision which swept away e1-ery one of the Government 's majcr content ions as being without basis i'l fact o r law, Federa l Judge Hugh K. Morris dismissed i ts suit to set asid* the sale of seized chemical and dy* pa ten t s by t h e Alien Proper ty Custo­d ian ' to the Chemical Foundation, Int .

The decision rebuked the Govern­ment for including in the bill of com­plaint a series of conspiracy charge: unsupported by evidence a^ the 'd*ia and refuted by the defense a s well ai by documents filed by the Govern ment .

In declining to compel the FoundiV tion to res tore the disputed patents, number ing some 4.700 and bought foi $271,000, from the Government, Judge Morris held there was no evidence bearing out allegation of a conspiracy by American manufacturers to effect a monopoly through t he Foundat ion. The court ruled tha t there was . no evidence of fraud or deceit practiced on Pres ident Wilson, Mr. Polk, Under Secretary of S t a t e ; Attorney General Pa lmer and other high officials of tha t Administrat ion.

Garvan 's Course Upheld Tfcie opinion praised Francis P. Gar-

van, president of the Foundation, and its t rus tees , a s having met the most severe of tes t s in their conduct of the Foundat ion—"the test of actual tr ial ." They were declared by the court to

j afford, through their high integri ty and unquestioned patr iot ism, a tbor-

assurance of loyalty to their t r u s t "It has kept the faith," said the court of the Foundat ion 's work.

Judge Morris found without meri t

• a i r e s the President to consider :**« public i n t e r e s t Public in teres t is no* a synonym for money.'

In this relation Judge Morris quo t ed from President Oooiidge's message to Congress on the Mu&ele Shoals problem, that "while the price is an impor tant element, there is another consideration even more compelling.

If this main object (low-priced n i t ra tes for farmers in peace and the Government in war) is accomplished, the amount of money received for the property is not a pr imary or major consideration."

Refer r ing . to German-owned proper­ty, the court sa id:

Much of this property was not innocently held or held solely foi t rade and commerce. Information ac­quired by German-owned companies had been t ransmit ted to Berlin, and there indexed and made available to German competitors and the German Government The files . of one com­pany were filled not with business papers, but with pan-German litera­ture. It was a distribution cent re for propaganda in this country."

Upholds Confiscation of Pa ten t s Judge Morris pointed out that when

America entered the war she adhered to the internat ional convection for­bidding poison gas, "but it soon be­came apparent t ha t America would i»t fighting on disastrously unequal terma unless she should make use of all the dread weapons being used agains t her by the foe. When Germany persisted in her a t tempts to destroy her oppo­nents with poison gas in contraven-* ^ of all internat ional agreements ,

tw>n she made it manifest t h a t America 's future safety lay in America 's chemi­cal independence. The^ amendment te the act was passed in t he darkest days of the war (allowing t he sale of seized properties*. It was thought Paris was abou»t to ' fal l and the Chan­nel ports be taken." These were t h e | circumstances, said the opinion, "which mi peeled Congress to grant the President the broad powers of almost absolute ownership. It was the intent of Congress to subordinate mere prop­erty r ights to the welfare of t he na­tion." t

Of the value of the patents sold, Judge Morris held, in accordance with the testimony, that while Dr. Carl Holderman. a German, asser ted the Haber patents were worth $17,000,000 to the Germans, " the evidence is over­whelming that they were a n d are without substantial affirmative value to American citizens. Had %ese pat­ents been sold to Americans a t public r a the r than pr ivate sale and only the net proceeds paid to their former ememy owners these owners would

In the $80,000,000 Group.

criminal laws were violated in Mr. Garvan, as Alien Proper ty Cusio-1 dian and thereby a public t rus tee , sold to himself as president of! the Foundation the patents in question. He had acted by direction of Presi­dent Wilson and his acts , supervised by the Pres ident under the la t te r ' s wide war powers granted by Con­gress , could not be brought to court . Congress had not delegated legisla­t ive powers to Pres ident Wilsoa, a*> maintained by the plaintiff, and the courts could not pass judgment on the wisdom or lack of wisdom of President ia l war acts .

Judge Morris recited tha t a l though Colonel Thomas R. Miller, present Custodian, who had approved, two of the sales involved, verified the com­plaint, in his tes t imony he admit ted tha t he could not enumera te any of the facts alleged to have been with­held and suppressed from him.

"In view cf this tes t imony and the obvious fact tha t the power to charge persons with fraud and conspiracy is a weapon with which serious irreme-dial injury may be done to innocent persons if such charges a re lightly made, it is difficuH to unders tand why the specific charges to which the foregoing test imony re la tes were j made ' wrote the court. "Yet the re- • maining like charges were equally | lacking in evidential support . In fact, a t the argument , the plaintiff seamed n o longer to press x these charges against the persons alleged to be con­spi ra tors , but it sought to have the charges sustained as against the of­ficers of the Government who form;*-1 la ted and carried out In the public in-) t e re s t the plan of sale. . . .

As (o allegations that the sale was not to ebtain a fair value, but to pro­mote the in teres ts of the chemical and dye~~tij#iflrtries and tha t the transac­tion was in legal effect grant ing a subsidy to pr ivate industry, the Court commented, " this challenge to the motives of the officers making the sale is supported, I think, nei ther by the facts nor the law. Mr. Polk de­termined the public in teres t would* be best served by a wide use of the in­ventions covered by the pa ten ts . If the property was sold under te rms and conditions t ha t assured i ts being devoted to the public use it mat te r s not what benefits or de t r iments may have flowed as incidents therefrom.

"The property is in the keeping of men who have In its management nc ^elfish interest to serve and whose de-rotion to the public Interest has been jstablished," continued the opinion.

. "No bet ter plan for devotin% the iroperty to public use has been sug-
