5 Talks Like a Texan. ‘ Tt required only a short residence in Texas to convert Rev. Charles L. DeBow to the habits and characteristics predominating in the Lone Star state. He says his heme city of Dallas is the liveliest burg in America, that the first 20 days of January saw more building permits fssued in his town than were issued in the whole state of Indiana that Dallas-i;m‘e greatest cotton market in the world and that her les ‘'of farm implements amount to eighteen million dollars a year. Dr. DeBow is a good booster for Tefas and it is fine to be loyal to one’s home town and state but Dallas and Texas are still open tor improvement, The need of improvement is back of the call of Dr. Deßow to his present location. : e

They were aHI notified when the contract would be let.” i s
