Comanche ranks as the top point on the Frisco branch for shipping hogs and other produce. The community ships more hogs than any town of similar size and handles large amounts of poultry, potatoes, oats, and diversified products. Rich soil brings ready money, and farmers should learn how to market it effectively.

Lane, the sales manager, reports far more produce requests than he can fill and notes strong egg and poultry quotations. Members are urged to report items they have to sell. participation is voluntary and not binding.

Fort Worth Record reports Governor Ferguson expands the ranger force as marauding bands cross the Rio Grande into Texas. Hauls include livestock and foodstuffs. some property has been recovered via Mexican chiefs, but efforts remain slow. The move may draw protests from the secretary of state and concern from Mr. Bryan over potential overreactions.

Governor Charles Hamlin of the Federal Reserve Board lauds the new banking system in a Chicago address, saying its founding rescued the country from an ominous condition. He notes the old system caused gold hoarding, crises, and foreign exchange chaos, while the Fed restored confidence and mobilized gold reserves.
