SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, SUNDAY MORNING,

Increase of 117 Per CentShown in First Quar-

ter of 1935

Wider economic activity js seenin some comparative figures whichhave' been compiled by the San An-tonio Real Estate Board. Therelias been an increase of 11? percent in the number of new dwel-lings built in San Antonio duringthe first quarter of, 1935 over thesame period last year. Where onlyJ4S -new houses were built in 1934,permits for the first three monthsof this year totaled 65 new resi-dences. Of the 1,900 remainingbuilding permits for the first auarter of 1335, not all were for stormdamage repair by any means.Other indices of better conditions,Recording to the board's figures,are gains of 27 per cent in bankclearings and 31 per cent in realestate transfer?.

R, TV. Morrison was elected toassociate membership in the SanAntonio Real Estate Board at ameeting of the directors of the or-ganisation Tuesday. The local real-tor board, now possibly the strong-est in the State, is experiencingsteady growth as a result of ag-gressive leadership and improvingbusiness conditions. It was broughtout at the directors' meeting thatthe real estate situation locally islooking quite encouraging in thatdistressed properties haxe almostdisappeared from the market andbuyers can no longer expect to pur-chase building «it».< for the mere

The philosopher's stone, if youremember your medieval history,was the goal of embryonic scient-is'.; for many centuries, the magictouchstone which would turn basemetals into gold. In that respect,the Sa.i Antonians have gone theirlearned predecessors one better, forthey propose to turn not only basemetals, but scores of other thingsas well, into gold.

In short, San Antonio has be-come the birthplace of a sort of"poor boy" mining company whichIs being 'launched on the theorythat money is an excellent thingfor any company to possess, butthat inasmuch as money riust bespent for other things, anyhow, alot of time and effort can be savedby capitalizing for the- other things

Furthermore, and a detail thatcan be considered as having con-siderable importance, the companyalso has a mine, located in' NewMexico, which according to reportsof reputable mining engineers, pos-sesses something more than ordi-nary prospects of producing profit-ably. For something like a score ofyears the mine has been operatedby Its owner, an ancient "desertrat," who has made a fair livingpecking away with a. pick and:?• ovel, but who because of advanc-ing years and an increasing crickin his back, has been unable topenetrate to what seem to be thereally paying strata, and who istherefore wil l ing to make decidedconcessions in order to have hismine developed properly.

Some months ago he approachedHenry A. RoBards of San Antonio,with ' the request-that Mr. RoBardsorganize a company to develop themin». paying the owner a modestroyalty on the profits. Mr. RoBardsvisited the mine on several occas-ions and studied it carefully, withthe aid of engineers and assayers,ail ot whom agreed that it showedfar more than usual promise.

The greatness of the King ranchempire is not past by any means-,because of the division of theproperty, since all the ranch inXueces, Kleberg and Jim Wellscounties, including the famed San-ta Gertrudis and Laureles ranches,is passed on intact to Mrs. AliceGertrudis Kleberg, daughter ofMr. and Mrs. Richard King, Butthe division takes enough landout of the estate to form a scoreof vast ranches, including lands inHidalgo.

Theybought land wherever they couldget it. all up and down the RioGrande, and then they placed thescene of their operations farther ['economics,northward and started buying inwhat later developed as the cattlecountry.

GREATEST OF RANCHESTATES IS DIVIDED

Continued From Page 1 C

eistanc* combined with an abilityto rustle food on pasture that wasat times pretty lean picking.

Th« resultant breed was stand-ardized by Kleberg. and becameknown the world over as the KingRanch beef strain.

Th» Ftory of all the trouble thatthe King Ranch had in getting thefirst shipment of Brahma hullsover would make a book. Theyhad to get permission from Indianauthorities and from practicallyeverybody else who had anything10 do with it. and paid high pricesior the stock.

Kleberg made the same thor-ough and successful experimentalj-oves in regard to other phasesof the property. There was noth-ing too minute for his careful study.H» spent years working on a me-chanical fastener for the gates onth» big ranch, and finally devel-oped one that was fool-proof. XoKing ranch gates were ever leftopen accidentally, because theyclosed themselves, and lockedthemselves.

He spent time on the windmillsand the wells. In later days smallgasoline motors have been installedat many points where windmills•were formerly used. It is a weirdsound, these." little engines chug-ging away out in the ranch withnobody within miles of them.Ranch hands visit them once aday. fill them with gas and startthem. Sometimes they only takethe place of the windmill when thewind doesn't blow.

I'p to 1,500.000 Acres.During all this t ime Kleberg

kept adding to the ranch.The latest great additions wpre

the 110.000-acre Lasater ranch withits famous Jersey hei'rt. and the35.000-acre Stlllman ranch.

It was a greatly changed worldin South Texas in which Kleberglived up to his death recently, fromthat in which Captain King movedand made his energy fel t , and Kle-berg kept ahead of his time in de-veloping the- ranch just XK CaptainKing kept ahead of the t ime inconceiving the idea of the greatproperty.

Since the death of the elder Kie-berg. his son. Robert J. Kleberg,has managed the vast ranch prop-erties.

In its peak, early in the presentcentury, the King ranch reacheda. maximum of about 1,500,000acres of land. It contained an es-timated l .UO.OOO acres in It atthe time of the division.

It is frequently said that there•are hundreds of acres of land inthe ranch "on which the foot -ofroan has never trod." but there isprobably not an acre on which thefoot of hundreds of cattle have nottrod.

Another thing which has madethe King ranch famous throughoutthe world is the castle at SantaGertrudis. Like the famed cattleon the ranch and other develop-ments, this castle came long afterthe death of Captain King, beingbuiit in 1913.

In it Jlrs. Henrietta King liveduntil her death in 1925. and herdaughter and son-in-law lived thereafter her death. It would prob-ably cost a half million dollars nowto "duplicate this great structure,standing majestically out on theranch far from any town or rail-road.

Split Amonjr Heirs.This empire which grew out of

Captain King's vision, and energyand Xleberjr's anility is now divid-ed among the heirs of Mrs. KingIn accordance with the terms of hertrill.

Like most other things connected•with the ranch the will was ar. in-teresting and unusual one. It pro-vided the estate should be admin-istered by a board of trustees for10 years, with certain stated sumsor money to be paid to certain heirsit regular intervals. The trustees

, iad absolute control. At the end' of the 10-year period it was to be

divided.The 10-year period is now up.Th« ranch properties -were di-

*Jde<J among the four children of

Capt, King and Mrs. King, andthe heirs of these children.

The children were Alice Ger-trudis. who married Robert Kle-berg and lived at the ranch; twoother daughters, who married andleft the ranch, Mrs. Ella. Page andMrs. Atwood, ana a son, ElchardKing Sr., who lived at CorpusChrist! during a large part of hislife, ana whose son. Richard KingIII, lives at Corpus Christi now,being a leading figure in the busi-ness and civic l i fe of the city.

To Mrs. Kleberg, who remainedwith her parents at the ranch, isleft the bulk of the King ranchlands, in addition to the ranchcastle and the 40.000-acre SantaGertrudis ranch which was givento her before Mrs. King's death,

This property includes the Las-ater ranch and the famed Lasaterdairy herd, and the ranch lands inNueces, Jim Wells and Klebergcounties.

To Richard King III as son andheir of Richard King Sr,, go thou-sands of acres of land in Crain,Upton, Edwards, Val Verde a.-ndCrockett counties. 5.000 acres inHidalgo County near Hidalgo, landin Starr County and other miscel-laneous properties scattered ailover South Texas.

The Atwood and Page heirs, liv-ing In New York, are left, equalshares In the land and property inCameron, Hidalgo and Willacycounties, known as the San Juande Carricitos tract, which is thetract that King and his attorneyslabored for years to buy from themany owners; land and propertyknown as the "Big Barreda tract,"and other acreage.

Now the Oil DrillerCongressman Richard M. Kle-

berg of Corpus Christi, representa-tive in Congress from the 14th Dis-trict, Is bequeathed the King homein Corpus Christi in which he haslived a number of years. He is agrandson of Mrs. King.

Under the terms of the bill theranch, in so far as the Klebergsand Kings are connected with it, ispractically removed from the pic-ture in the Lower Rio Grande Val-ley, where it became sn issue fora time in the Kenedy County roadmatter.

Down through the years underthe management of the elder Kle-berg and before him under Cap-tain King the ranch has been avital force in support of practicallyall developments. Captain King wasa big force In building the Tex-Mex Railroad, just as Robert Kle-berg was a big force in extendingthe St. Louis, Brownsville & Mex-ico Railroad to Brownsville. It wasat a meeting in Corpus Christi ofKleberg, B. F. Yoakum and theKing Ranch attorney that plansfor extending the railroad toBrownsville were carried out.

Even though much of the greatranch is left intact by the will ofMrs. King, an entirely new factorhas made its appearance recently,and it is likely that the greatnessof the empire as a cattle .domainwill soon begin to fade.

The new factor is oil.The oil rights on the ranch have

been leased by the Humble Oil andRefining Company for a sum saidto be $5,000,000, and it Is con-sidered certain that oil will slowlydrive the cattle to new ranges.

Hundreds of Millions to Pro-vide Home Moderniza-

tion This Year

Savings, building and loan asso-ciations will finance' more thanhalf of the. home modernizationand repair work tindertaken in1935 with a probable disbursal oftwo to three .hundred million d.ol-lars, and this performance will heIn line with their, normal experi-ence, over the past half century.

This is • stated by Morton Bod-fish, executive vice 'president ofthe United States Building andLoan League. As far back as1894, he points out, 38 per cent

] of the number of loans held by theassociations were.made for remod-eling purposes.

Attention was drawn, to these41 year old statistics 'by the ap-proach of the anniversary of theFederal Government's first publi-cation of figures relating to thehome financing- resources in thenation. On May 1, 1894 theUnited States Commissioner of La-bor presented to President GroverCleveland the results of a compre-hensive, survey of the building andloan associations, their loan port-folios, 'and other factors character-istic at that time.

Complete revision of the regula-tions under Title I of the HousingAct applicable to savings, buildingand loan associations, agreed uponby Federal Housing authorities,and to be announced in the nearfuture, will make it possible to In-'sure regular lon,g-term loans ofthe associations up to 144 months.Associations appreciate the co-op*eratic-n thus afforded by theHousing Administration and will•find their 1935 modernization lend-ing pushed substantially ahead bythe change, the league official said.

Back in 18B4"Thirty-eight per cent of the

number of loans held by associa-tions in 1894 had been made fororiginal amounts somewhere be-tween $200 and ?700, showing con-crete evidence of the predominanceof repair and . modernization fi-nancing by the associations at thistime," said Mr. Bodfish. "It isdoubtful if there were then .inexistence any other types of lend-ers, except private persons, to fi-

I nance expenditures for home- re-| modeling which were part of theproperty owners' natural proced-ure. Up until our recent depres-sion-Induced slump in people's in-terest in their homes, the finan-cing of remodeling was always asubstantial portion of our lending,sometimes varying below the 38per cent characteristic in 1S94-.but always taken as a matter ofcourse in the associations' respon-

j sibilities for home financing.| "Performance of the associationsin the modernization campaign upto the first of the year also dem-onstrates their natural fitness todo the job. In four months begin-ning with September, our institu-tions placed ?3S,500,000 in remod-eling loans, and December was thehighest ,of the four months. Thistotal compares with $32.700.000 in-sured by the Federal Housing Ad-ministration, for other types ofmodernization lenders. At the out-set, then, the associations were do-Ing more than half of the mod-ernization lending. With the lib-eralization of some of the rules andregulations under Title I, therewill be more substantial use of theinsurance feature 'by the associa-tions and therefore a greater stim-ulus to their stepping up. moderni-zation, activities."

Loans For Home*According to the tabulated re-

sults of the Real Property Inven-tory conducted by the Bureau ofForeign and Domestic Commerce,the typical American home is adwelling of 19 years old, of woodor frame construction, containingfive rooms. It is worth between?3,000 a n d - $ 5 , 0 0 0 . Looking atthese statistics Mr. Bodfish saidthat the ease with which bui ldingand loan associations can serveowners of this type in their .re-modeling plans will, give them a.primary responsibility to under-take the. work.

"With most home owners in thisgroup the largest single expendi-ture of. their life-time, their larg-est Indebtedness has been incurredin connection with the home," hecontinued. "They have custom-arily gotten that financing fromthe building and loan association.They will be much more inclinedto so thre again. Furthermorethe associations- are so familiarwith the type of-credit risk beingdealt with here that there can beno question of their ability to closesuch loans more rapidly and withjess red tape than other lendersnew in the field. This is one morereason why in their 1935. lendingprograms, associations are plan-ning expansion of this type ofloans."

One of the largest assemblagesof the year will gather in. San An-tonio when Kiwanis Internationalio!ds its annual convention May

19-23 next. Some 24 conventionspecials in addi t ion to several elab-orately planned motor caravanswill bring in the 4,000 to 5 ,000 del-egates, their wives and famillies.

It is estimated that about aquarter of a mill ion dollas will bespent in San Antonio during thefive days of business sessions, din-ners and entertainments. Effortwill be made to convince the dele-gates they should return for theCentennial celebration next year.Kiwanis of San Antonio headed byFrank L. Orr are getting the stageset for the bi? convention.

Ivjwanis International is a serv-ice club which restricts its mem-bership to business and profes-sional men of the United Statesand Canada. In its 1,850 clubs

1 there are upwards of 100,000 mem-| bers.. Each club is made up ofi two of the leaders in each busi-I ness and profession in the citybrought together in close associa-tion to aid in the solution of na-tional, state and community prob-lems.

The movement began in 1S14 inDetroit, Mich. Kiwanis is a coin-ed word suggested by tbe Indianword, "Kee-"vv"anls," which impliesself expression. In 1316 the organ-

ization became a national group[and dur ing the next year it ex-! tended into Canada justifying its! present official name of Kiwanis Ii International.i In fu l f i l l i ng its purpose Kiwanis || crystallizes community sentiment!for municipal improvements. Itpromotes community co-operationdevelops leaders, and furnishes a|forum for the discussion of coin-jmunity, state and national issues.

Among the objectives of thegroup the one that has prob-ably received the most concreteevidence is the service which the

i clubs have extended to the under-privileged children of its commu-nity. Examples are: The KiwanisClub of West Palm Beach. Fla,,

i which operates three clinics at anannual expense of $6 ,«00 , the Ki-wanis Club of the little town ofJasper, Ala., which holds a clinicwhere 125 children between thea?es of three and 12 are operatedupon each year, the Kiwanis Clubof Pasadena, Calif., with its citi-zenship training course whichreaches 15.000 youths annually,and the Kiwanis Indiana, districtwhich supports the orthopedicwing of the Riley Memorial- Hos-pital. The Kiwanis Club in SanAntonio, which is the third oldestclub in Texas has been active inthe care, of under-privileged chil-dren In the schools here, and inGirl Scout work. The membersbuilt the Girl Scout camp at Com-fort and the home- in San Antonioand have added to, kept in repairand generally maintained the twoestablishments. Every year girlswho wouldn't be able to so tocamp otherwise are sent by theKiwanians.

In its program for communitybetterment Kiwanis has developedand supplied community leader-ship, raised business and profes-sional standards and helped tocreate a new criterion of civicworth. Kiwanis is keeping intouch Tvith present day problemsthrough work being done by spe-cial new committees on "DirectiveEducation for the New Leisure,""Economy and Efficiency in PublicSchools,", "Economy and Efficiencyin Local Government."

The motto of the organization,"We Build;" is exemplified by theconstructive program of definite,tangible enterprises. Hundreds ofits activities which a,re annual .un-dertakings are permanent 'contri-butions to the welfare of respec-tive communities concerned..

Citizens Appeal to Allred,Who Calls Conference

On Situation

(Express Austin Bureau)AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 6.—A dele-

Ranch Families

Modern Dormitories House Students at College of Arts and Industries in Kingsville

"When two of the slate's outstand-ing pioneer day settlers and build-era located on broad domains inSouth Texas they laid the founda-tions on which Kinjj&viUe was tobe built as, the center of extensivecattle ranch operations, of culturaland educational activity, and ofrecreational provision.

Captain King ana Captain Ken-edy were the pioneer ranchmenwho early in the ISSQ's claimedmuch of South" Tejcas lor civiliza-tion, including that large,area whichnow looks to KingsiviHe as its cen-ter o£ business ana social activity.

Founded In 1904Klngsville, founded in 1904. has

become one of the important -citiesof this section and an outstandingcity of its' size in the s-tate. Ad-jacent ranching activity has madeIt famous as' the home scat of oneof the world's largest cattle ranches.It''is 41 railroad center oC impor-tance. As the location of TexasCollege of Aru and Industries,only state support*tJ institution ofhigher education in the South Texasarut, It ia an educational center fora,large part or Texas. lineres-l ofUS" leaders has given it a modernrace track and plant and otherrecreational activities which attractSouth Texaus and visitors in largenumbciti. And, as is true <jf niltowns and cities in this section, itlias a rich agricul tural lit*-' withemphasis on an extensive dairyingindustry.

Tlie county seat of Kleberg Coun<-ty, :K!n£SviHe is Important as thehome of the famous Kins ranch,the location of divisional headquar-ters and shops for the MissouriI'acific lines.

.Probably the most famous ranchin. the world, the King ranch ofSouth Texas, wi th headquarters onthe Santa Oertrudis ranch at Kint;s-vllle, was founded 1S03 by CaptainRichard King \\ ho had been en-gaged, with Captain Mlff l in Ken-edy, in operating steamboats onthe Klo Grande river Captain Kingspent his first' years nt Santa Ger-trudls in developing: a nil improvingthe property and establishing hisherds. He was joined by CaptainKeiK-dy in 1S60 and they begangrading the herds and introducingthoroughbred. Durhams from Ken-tucky, the first pioneer cuulemenwho saw the value in improvedlivestock. They also were thr; firstto fence large areas of land, begin-ning fencing in 1S6". The two cap-tains divided their possession inJanuary 1, ISflS. when they dis-solved their partnership.

Wera BuildersThe names, uf Captain King and j

Captain Kencdy will forever leadthe list of South Texas empirebuilders even as the names of thoseconnected with their two ranchescontinued to lead ia all activitiesfor, the. development of a great civ-ilized -empire.

To tha iate Robert J. Kleborg,often referred to as "first citizenof South Texas" is due, in greatpart, credit for the impressive de-velopment that has made this sec-tion one of the nation's outstand-ing agricultural districts and thehome place of thousands of happyand- prosperous people. Son-in-lawof Captain King, he continued andexpanded the work begun by thatgreat pioneer.

In 190-1 wen Kingsville wasfounded as a city the entire countrysouth of Corpus Christl was nomore than a wilderness with norailroads, no highways, no'farms, 110towns ^between ^Brownsville andCorpus Christ!,, no houses -with theexception of the few scatteredranch structures. TVith the com-ing of the railroad to this sectionthrough the untiring: efforts of theKingsviile. section ranch leaders it-was natural that the city shouldbe chosen as the headquarters,shops, and offices of the St. Louis,Brownsville,, and Mexico railroad.Although ownership of the railroadhas been changed several times andit now is part of the great MissouriPacific system the succeeding man-agements recognized the obligationsincurred by the builders of the roadand the shops and office have grownwith the development of the coun-try, adding to the payroll of thecity and furnishing It a substantial,progressive group of citizens.

Dairy IndustryAlthough Kingsville enioys a

varied industrial life, including therailroad shops. a mill, sins, andother plants and including activityresulting from nearby oil and gasdevelopment, it is the dairy indus-try which has contributed most toKingsville and Klebcrg County. Foryears business and farm leaders ofthe area have cooperated to placeagriculture in the district on asound basis through the develop-ment of high producing dairy herdsand the marketing of dairy pro-ducts which arc widely knownthroughout a large area.

Equally great improvement hasbeen made in the boef cattle indus-try, acounting, perhaps, for thefact that near Kingsville today, atCaesar, is tho> largest cattle ship-ping point ont the Missouri Pacificlines. Hundreds of thousands ofhead of fitie boef cattle have movedfrom .the Kingsville area direct tomarket or to the pasture lands ofOklahoma and Kansas for finishingfor market during the years.

First in catllo was the Durhamand the Hereford and in recentyears there has boon added forcross breeding:..-.with the Durham,the Brahma cattle of India. FromI his cross was evolved tho famousSanta Gcvtrudis brood,'a. largo andhardy type well 'adapted to the

The Gulf Coast ear tick!is saidto be one of the most difficultlivestock pests to combat effec-tively; because it is practicallyimpossible to get at the ear tickin its early stages. In its larvaland nymph stage, the ear tickattaches itself to birds and smallrodents, and there is no way ofcombatting ticks attached to thesehosts.

However, as an adult, this spe-cies of tick selects larger animalsas hosts, particularly cattle; andit attaches itself principally to theears and around the eyes of cattle."When the 'ear tick reaches'"ma-turity and attaches itself to cattle,then ranchers have a chance tocontrol infestation although thereis little, if any, possibility o{eradicating this species .. as wasdone in the case of the Texasfever tick,In Paste Form

In the experiments on theHeard ranch this summer, a pro-duct known as Gammer stock diphas been used. It has a gammaisomer of beneze hexachloride offive percent, with other isomersof BHC amounting to 45 percentas active ingredients. Inert ingre-dients amount. to 50 percent. Theproduct is in a liquid paste formwhich eliminates the unpleasanteffects encountered when hand-ling a powdered insecticide.

Used in dipping vats, the prep-aration is diluted with water atthe rate of one pound to 20 gal-.lons; while when sprays are useflthe concentration is the same butabout four times- the volume isrequired.

The in f e s t a t i o a count on agroup of cattle on the H e a r dranch at the beginning of the ex-periments amounted to 23.3 ticksPer animal. Infestataion rangedfrom seven to 45 ticks on eachcow. Carson said.Infestation Checked

The animals were dipped in athree percent BHC solution, onepound of insecticide to 20 gallonscf water.

_ After the second day, a checkshowed that infestation in theheard averaged only S-'IO of atids per cow. Seven days afterdipping, llie average was 3.OS •while on the ninth day it was 7.3.'

These results are representativeof the control being obtained byusing benzene hexachloride onthe Heard Ranch.

Carson said his conclusions are

that complete protection againstGulf Coast ear ticks can be ob-tained by dipping every sevendays during the months when in-festation o c c u r s—July, August,September, and possibly October.Flies can also be controlled withBHC when a close dipping sched-ule is followed, although BHC isadmittedly not as lastingly effec-tive as DDT in controlling flies.

One of the results of heavy eartick, infestation is a concurrentscrew worm infestation Howevei,when animals weie dipped mbenzene hexachlonde ev'ery 14 to21 days, screw worm i n f e c 11 onwas reduced 50 peicent, andwhen the dipping schedule wasfiom seven to 10 days, reductionof sciew worm cases was as highas, 90 peicent.8,500 Piep.uations Tested

Carson formerly was attachedto a group of Aimy specialists ata post in Flouda, where he car-ried on experiments with insecti-cides designed to control insectsthat attacked humans During his

more than three years in theArmy's specialist' corps, he help-ed test more than 8,500 differentpreparations, among them DDT

He said that as a result of rapidadvances in developing insecti-cides, r a n c h e r s now find thatmedication costs aie probably thelowest item in their operationsHe estimated the cost of dippingcattle in benzene hexachloride tocontrol ear ticks is approximatelyone and one-half cents per ani-mal pet dipping

During the war, countless newinsecticides weie discoveied anddeveloped, Caison said, and post-wai activities aie continuing atunheard of rapidity in pieparinginsecticides Hope was expressedby Caifon that a halt will becalled on development of newpreparations and those now knowto be highly effective will begiven a chance to piove theirworth.

Compatatively little is knownabout the Gulf Coast ear tickThis species has long been ascourge on South Texas ranches,but it appears now that it hasmet its match and that ranchersnow can control this pest that hasmade the summer months alongthe Coastal Plains of Texas arough season for cattle and cattle-men alike. The laboratory has, itappears, won a decisive victoryover another one of the world'sworst pests.

Hill HerdsImproved byCity Women

Mrs. McDanielAdds RegisteredHeifers to Stock

Improvement in the quality ofdairy animals in the. hill countrywest of Austin may be noted with-in the next few years as a. resultof a Corpus Christi woman's pur-chase in the Texas Jersey CattleClub's full sale in Waco last week.

Mrs. S. Taylor McDaniel, of theMcDaniel Realty Co. here', boughtseven registered heifers at the saleand will place .them on the Mc-Daniel "Ranch west of Austin, anarea where little effort has evefboon mode to improve dairy stock.The hill . > ; residents apparentlynever thought it necessary to im-prove their few milk cows bybreeding for quality and produc-tion; and after generations of in-different' breeding^ the dairy cattleare of very poor quality.Interest Aroused

Introduction of registered, highbred cattle into the area by Mrs,IVtcDaniei has aroused considerableinterest among the "natives," andthis interest may develop into acommunity wide dairy improve-ment program.

Mrs. McDaniel said that she willpossibly place bull.calves from herregistered herd among farmerswho wish to improve their dairystock; and in time there will bea general improvement in all dairycattle in'the area.

Mrs. McDaniel and her husbandhave their Austin ranch as a hob-by. It is a place where they canvisit occasionally,; and their plansfor extensive improvement of' theland offers a • challenge in soil con-servation as well as planned beau-tificatiOn of property in one ofthe most picturesque sections ofTexas. . • . .

In the group <if heifers boughtby Mrs McDaniel were Master-man Aim Floss and MastermanEva Bessie, Knolle Jersey Farms;Joydale's Volunteeress, HowardMcCarley, Denison; SparklingDandy Vision, Reese Jersey Farms,Waco; Stars Sparkling Mischief,Simons Jersey Farm, Fort Worth;Masterman Volunteer Sweet, El-ton Bringliam, Stamford. Pricesbid " b y Mrs. McDaniel rangedfrom $310 to $500 per head. Thetwo Knolle heifers brought $500web . . 'Realistic Hobby

Mis McDaniel has the facultyof combining a'hobby with real-ism; and one of the underlyingreasons for her purchasing reg-istered dairy cattle for her ranchis that she feels that a high pro-ducing dairy herd will not onlygive, satisfaction of, ownership. butwill also in time contribute to the,profit side of the enterprise. Herhusband has a herd of beef cattleon the ranch, and it will be inter-esting to note the comparative in-come produced by the two herds.

All of Mrs. McDaniel's peoplehave been • closely identified withsome phase of agriculture. Herbrother, Harry Taylor, • has per-haps the; best pecan grove in.Texas on,his farm near Elgin. Hiswoik with pecans Has won widerecognition, Years ago her fatherdeveloped a strain of cotton thatyearly bought premium prices onthe market.

The McDaniels plan to build anew summer home on their ranchin addition to the present quartersnow occupied by the manager.

Starting: A Four-Part Series Full of Western Adventure and Mystery A ranch no big thai a horseman can scarcely rims H In a week's riding:

A ranch so Isolated that it has practically made and enforced its own law! A ranch where strange things happen, men disappear, and Texas Rnngers have lo be called In to make pence between Its armed "fcncc-rlders" and the surrounding farmers! There I S such a ranch.

It 1* the King Ranch, now run by the Kleberg family, and now in the news Intermittently as Its current mystery of the vanished Blnnlons ncars solution. Here, In four articles, for release at will, is the whole story, full oj genntaa romance and western adventure. Die four chapters;

1. Texas' typical Ranger, Capt. Bill 4lcMurray, claims to have solved, the mystery of how the King Ranch swallowed up two men who were never heard of again. '

2. How Steamboat Capt. Richard King, through with war and adventure, wanted a great ranch—and how hn got It.

3. How the boss of EI Sauz, died, and men whispered, for the feud with the "outsiders" would not be quieted.

f How the law ma;- dismember the king Ranch, where Mexican bor­derers and Invaders so Often failed,

Allred to relieva the men from- duty in that section. Miller resigned and Fenner, whose sister is married to Tully Oirner, son of Vice President Garner, was dismissed from the force.

At his trial Fenner drew a gun on a newspaper photographer, tried to destroy his camera. Judge M o Charen Interfered. '

Solution Still Mystery It was then that Captain MeMurray

entered the ease personally. And a few days later he announced that the Blanton mystery was solved.

Where the men were he did not say-Whether dead or alive, there was no hint. It was just that ladfcnlc an­nouncement:

they stirred the hatred of the farm ers, and expeditions were organized to search the ranch. When they were barred by armed guards, the Rangers went in, and relatives of the Blantons said they would leave the investigation up to Capl. Bill Mc-Murray and his men.

Family Backs Probe More days and weeks passed with

word of the Blantons, no solution to the mystery. Searchers, o£ course, had barely touched the outskirts of even El Sauz, whose line fences run into the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico. iLterally miles of, gnarled, sprawling mesquite that tears at at men's clothing lay within the boun­daries. Meti had been lost for days there'. Dusty cattle trails led to dry water holes. On the hottest dayi buzzards wheeWd and turned over­head. One slope looked like the next, one leafless tree like another. Men might die and their skeletons not be found for years.

When summer came and no solu­tion was in sight, the Blanton relatives raised a ; little money and Louis La-madrid slipped in and began work­ing amonsr the Mexicans around the ranch. He listened much and talked little. He went to a ranch-hands' barbecue and he even preached at a revival.

Investigator Checked Lamadrid was, he said, just about

to find a key to the mystery's solu­tion when word of his activities leaked out. He was arrested in Ray-mondville by Power Fenner, a 6-foot, 190-pound Ranger, on a gun-carrying charge filed in Brownsville. An at­torney filed a writ of habeas corpus and after the hearing was set, Fen­ner and Game Warden Morgan Miller

whisked Lamadrid to Brownsville where the officers were cited for contempt and-fined $50 each.

Judge W, E. McCharen, who is­sued the writ and who cited them for contempt, appealed to Gov. James

John and Luther Blanton George Durham

The vast extent of the King Ranch is shown In the above map, the upper panel showing its location at the southern tip of Texas, the lower its great extent. Durham was boss of El Sauz. His death was less mysterious than those ot the Blantons, though Ranger Capt, McMurray claims to have solved even the latter after Lamadrid s investngation was cut- short.

This is the first of four stories telling the romantic western ad­venture true, story that lies be­hind (he mystery of the King Ranch, vast Texas cattle domain where two men entered and never reappeared. • . •

By GORDON TURRENTINE NEA Service Special Corespondent

RAYMONDVTLLE, Tex., July 3 0 -Death strikes again at the great King ranch, fabulous 1,250,000-acre ''princi­pality" at the southern tip of Texas, deepening the air of mystery that

has hung over its vast acres ever since lost November.

Today it is George Durham, 42, autocratic foreman of the El Sauz section of the ranch, who is dead. Three doctors and an undertaker certified that Durham died naturally of a heart attack while branding: cat­tle' This quieted widespread rum­ors of a shooting.

But the farmers outside the bor­ders of the King domain remember the Blantons, father and son, who climbed the fence into El Sauz last fall and never returned. And they wait grimly to hear the report of Capt. Bill McMurray, most famous of modern Texas Rangers, who says he has solved the Blanton case and will announce his findings as soon as the case is "iron-ciad."

McMurray, recently named by the governor as the outstanding and most typical Banger, was put in charge of the case after long investigation of the Blanton disappearance had satis­fied nobody, proved nothing.

His announcement of a solution inspired confidence, but the sudden death of Durham fanned once again

feud which has smoldered and broken into intermittent flame for years between the farmers of Willacy county and the armed riders who guard the fenced borders of the vast, almost autonymous King ranch empire."

Two Swallowed Up It was on Nov. 18, 1336, that Luther

Blanton, 57, and his son, John, 24, climbed the fence between their tiny farm and the El Sauz section of the King ranch.

That fence encloses continuously a million and a quarter acres spread­ing over eight counties in southwest Texas, an area scarcely smaller than

the state of Delaware. For genera­tions those who ran the King ranch have been practically a law unto themselves within their own domain.

The Blantons had two shotguns and three shells and they were going to hunt ducks. The King ranch, main­taining at some cost a game preserve, protects it by ranch-paid game war­dens and armed fence riders. Just before dusk the sound of three shots came out of the tangled, thorned mesquite brush and tall grass, j

Resentment Shown ,The Blantons did not return and when dawn came 100 farmers and townsmen were gathered on the cot-tonpatch side of the fence. On the other side were ranch officers and farm hands who said they would do the searching themselves.

Trouble was averted by a state highway patrolman and both factions searched. Nothing was found except a few duck feathers and the spot where some men on foot had smoked a number of cigarets.

The Blantons have not been seen since, and as the days passed after their disappearance new stories crop­ped up of other men who had entered unwanted the brushlands of El Sauz (the southernmost division of the King ranch) and had never returned.

None of those stories have been substantiated. Most of them are le­gend or vague recollections. But

Harsh Welcome for Trespassers Who Cross 'King Empire' Fences

This is the thi rd of four s to r ies ' te l l ing the t r u e western adven­t u r e ya rn tha t lies beh ind the mys te ry of the K i n g Ranch, vast Texas catt le domain w h e r e two men entered and never r e t u r n e d .

By GORDON TCBRENTINE N E A Service Special Corespondent

RAYMONDVILLE Tex . , Aug. 2 -Bow-legged, barrel-chested George Durham, Jr. , bossed the 120,000 wild brush-covered acres of El Sauz, most remote of the King ranch domains.

"Young George" they called him, though he was 42 when sudden death struck him down at a cattlelbrand-ing a few weeks ago. It was the suddenness of this de^th, in the midst of the investigation into the Blanton disappearances, that set circulating among the nearby farms and ranches wild rumors of a shooting. But a heart attack was the cause, attend­ing physicians indicated.

George Durham was of the old mold in which King ranch managers pre­ferably are cas{. His father, manager before him, is still caustically agile at 80. A forty-five always dangled from George's hip as though it be­longed there, as it did. It was part of his every-day work clothes. When he rode, a 30-30 rifle always slanted past the saddle horn, l i e spoke Eng­lish as though he were about to break into Spanish, for Spanish is the

l anguage of the ranch . His niece teaches it (Engl i sh is not t a u g h t ) in the EI Sauz school .

O the r s a r o u n d these South Texas pa r t s find no th ing unnatura l about the e n m i t y of the two factions. They are famil iar with the cattle wars , as o.d as Texas : wi th the blooti-stained f ights between catt lemen and sheep­m e n ; with squa t t e r s r u n off- a t rifle point, their pitiful little cabins burned by n ight r ide r s .

("lOTTON: A southern Democratic • crop — cotton — may eventually

salvage Roosevelt reforms doomed to die at this session of Congress. A record-breaking surplus and a 50 per cent fall in price may permit him to say "I told you so" to the below-the-line legislators now sabotaging his demand -for new agricultural, indus­trial and economic controls.

Cotton has been bringing high pri­ces for the last few years. But the demand has had the inevitable effect —the planters set out extra acres so as to reap the immediate benefits. Official estimates place the 1937 crop at tremendous figures—far more than domestic consumption or the export trade can absorb. As a result prices may sag to the level of Hoover days, when nobody got back even their sf ed.

Should these unexpressed hopes materialize, Mr. Roosevelt will come up with an irresistible argument for Supreme Court reform (the court killed the original AAA) , for his catch-all agricultural bill and for measures restricting speculation in many other remote fields. King Cot­ton may eventually topple the "eco­nomic royalists" from their n e w - w o n throne of rugged individualism.

During vacation, children wi th l ime on their hands t ry to fill tne vacuum with food.

The mecea of their thoughts is the treat s tore on the corner, and their ide:i of plays is a par ty" with snick-snacks mother sends ou t . Biles from the neighbor chi ldren 's cookies, the tantal izing boxes of candies and , nuts left over from mother ' s party—well, you see how it goes. A nibble here and a nibble eve rywhere . Let u.s look into these small j u n k e t s into goody- land .

Actual ly I do not th ink that it mat te rs whether children eat b e ­tween meals or not. And besides, wha t would life be wi thout t idbi ts and candy?

Proper In-Betwcen Snacks

However , you can' t do that to y o u r s tomach all summer , day after day— and smile. If you get a tooth t ra ined to eat sweets , or sours , ei ther, to the exclusion of good soup and peas and milk and eggs, it's jus t too bad.

After a meal is the best t ime for sweets . Next, to that, any time tha t leaves a space of two hours before the next mea l .

But they get so h u n g r y . T h e y can ' t wai t ," you say .

This is t r u e . Many chi ldren don ' t eat enough, at one meal to keep a bird alive, and to train them to stretch their s tomachs, a l though pos­sible, is a hard task indeed. So the in-be tween lunch is permissible, b u t never close to meals .

Milk digests slowly always, so milk as a holdover will also chase appeti te if d r u n k dur ing these same two hours before a mea l . Indeed , any snacks should bo spaced so as not to interfere with appet i te .

By a large, though, to go back to he te rgeneous nibbl ing, the t e n ­dency in s u m m e r is to clut ter the s tomach with s t r ange m i x t u r e s . Taken singly, few of the tasty t r ea t s are harmful , but to eat at any and all hours , and tickle the palate wi th

•.things too sweot, too sour, too cold or too spicy, all t h rown together , not only interferes with wholesome appeti tes for regular meals, bu t establishes habi t and upsets d ispo­s i t ions .

Ton much s ta rchy food is ano ther cause for dis tempar jn chi ldren. ' ! They can ' t live on potatoes, b read , corn, thick gravy, macaroni , and pie, ,and feel normal . Winter is dif­ferent, a l though even then s ta rches should not corner the m a r k e t .

Ways lo Avoid Troub le Cold mea t s occas iona l ly are all

r ight, bu t in general ahey pall, and warm meals will go be t te r .

If the chi ldren are feeling r ight in their tummies , they won't q u a r r e l so much , or lie a round and growl . Don ' t let t hem gorge on new frui t . I t 's t r ickly, it is, and little folk e s ­pecially do bet ter on simple fruits, cooked. St ra in out be r ry seeds for the toddler .

P u r e ice cream is good for chi ldren and sponge cake, too. Candy, pu re , mind you, cer ta inly has its place, b u t nothing should be too rich, too mixed or too one-sided, in the way of food.

Vacat ion 'diet, if reasonably ba l ­anced, plays a big par t in good d i s ­positions, and also p reven t s those recur rences .of days in bed . Orange juice with the whi te of an egg, s t ra ined into water, is a good " res t -e r" for such t imes. B u t let's hope nobody needs the bed cure . Good judgment is the preventat ive , nn: ' this is better than cure any t ime.

For one mile within that fence—in other words , a one-mile s t r ip com­pletely around the ranch—the land has been declared a state game pre­serve . In addit ion to the fence rid­ers, the preserve is patrolled by game wardens , in the p;;y of the K;ng ranch bu t deput ized by the s tate govern­m e n t .

The hei rs of Richard King, who laid the foundation for the empire in 1854, inheri ted the ranch . They have added vastly to its original ac reage . t l is theirs, legally and mora l ly . The King ranch is almost au tonomous because its holdings en­compass or dip into several counties and consequent ly the officials of the county are employes of the r anch . They couldn ' t be any th ing else. No one ilves on the King ranch who isn't an owner , an employe or a gues t .

The employes do eve ry th ing they can to p reven t poaching. Finding they could not take culpri ts caught in the act of ki l l ing game on the ranch into a county seat outs ide the ranch and get convict ions , the wardens take tihem to a county seat within the r anch . County lines aren ' t marked and no one can prove exactly where the a r res t occur red .

Poachers Roughly Treated Or, if the arres t should be in Wil­

lacy county , for instance, whose seat is a few miles from the ranch line and only a few acres of which clip into El Sauz, there are o ther mea­sures .

."I told the district a torncy I never in tended bringing in anyone caught on this ranch ," said George D u r h a m , squar ing his 204-pound body. "1 told him I in tended whipping anyone 1 catch on the place without a permit —and I 've caugh t a fewe.e The farm­ers b u r n the grass off their land and let our fencees catch fire.

The Family Doctor

In the period be tweenan acute in-f lamamtion of the k idneys and a g radua l change to the chronic form, there may be an in te rmed ia ry con­dition which is somet imes described as a nephros i s .

Symptoms associated wi th this form of inf lammation of the k idney a re tha t it is of r a t h e r longer s t and ­ing, the re is a little more collection of fluid in the tissues, and the re is a tendency toward anemia , indica t ­ing that the red coloring m a t t e r of the blood and the total n u m b e r of red blood cells have been decreased.

Usually the hear t and blood ves­sels are no t greatly involved in the earl ier s tages, bu t later the blood pressure may r ise .

• • • The ur ine in this form of k idney

disease is usual ly decreased in amount . The amoun t of a lbumin is considerable and when the ur ine is centr i fugated and the solid mate r i a l examined under a microscope, it is found to consist largely of mater ia l from the k idney t i s sue .

Funct ions of. the k idneys as tested by the var ious functional me thods may still indicate a reasonable amoun t of per formance . However , unless someth ing definite is done to aid these patients, the function will consistently decrease until it be ­comes ser ious .

In fact, the eventua l resul t is s u p -pressio nof the function of the kid­ney with the apeparance of u remia .

In this form of nephr i t i s , again, the pat ient requi res a most careful and complete examina t ion so that every possible focus of infection may be removed if any a re found .

To aid the pat ient in overcoming this condit ion he should be requ i red to rest in bed. As much rest as pos­sible must also be given to the kid­ney by cut t ing down the total amount of fluid and salt tha t the patient takes into his body.

In order to regula te these sa t i s ­factorily, it i s necessary that the physician s tudy the en t i re diet, con­cerning himself w i t h the total amoun t of protein.

• • • It should be obvious, then, that

every pat ient with an inf lammation of the k idney requi res indiv idual s t udy and regulat ion of his diet, his rest, the total amount of fluids taken and every other factor of his life in accordance with the condi t ions found.

KING'S DREAMOF BIG RANCHNOW REAL I ZED

Cheap Grazing Land IBeginning of PowerWealth For CaptainOf Steamboat

(This is the second of four storie,telling the story that lies behind thmystery of tilt King Ranch, vasTexas cattle domain -where two meientered and never reappeared.)

By GORDON TUKRENTINENEA Service Special Corresponden

KINGSVILLE.— Steamboat Captain Richard King wanted an empire in Texas so wide that « marriding in a straight line on a goodhorse couldn't cross it in a weekHe wanted a home for himself amhis bride, set on a land heritagwhich would last a hundred yearand more.

r« founded the great King ranch•which covers OP laps into eight counties in south Texas, and whossprawling miles jrould founder thistrongest horse. It has lasted since1854 and shows few serious signs o:disintegration.

Runaway Goes to SeaRichard King was born in Orange

county, N. J., in 1821, found himsel:apprenticed at 10 to a Jeweler, dldn'like it, and casually ran away.

He stowed away on a vessel bountfor Mobile and, with something ofthe luck which pursued him through-out his life, happened to find one olthe few kindly men who in thosedays went down to rough seas onrough ships. The captain liked theboy, sent him to school and latertaught him the trade of steamboatcaptaining and how to trade shrewd-ly. '

King fought in the Seminole Warand the Mexican War and becameacquainted with the Rio Grande,•with Its sagebrush, borders, itsquicksands and Its preposterousmeanderlngs. He met schooners atthe mouth and brought their cargoes40 miles up the stream to sun-bakedBrownsville where a handful of peo-ple lived in houses with adobe wallstwo feet thick.

Hunting a HumeOn one -it his trips to the border

town the young steamboat captainmet Henrietta Chamberlain, whoseslightly impractical father wasoccupied with the discouraging taskof enticing Mexicans to church atan hour which seriously interferedwith their siestas.

A few meetings with Miss Hen-rietta convinced King that steam-boat captaining was too lonely, andone clay he rode away with a youngarmy officer named Robert E. Lee.After several clays through chap-paral and rr.essuitc, road runners,armadillos find flat-headed rattle-snakes, they came to a gently rollingcountry on the coastal plains. Kinglooked about him,

"We've come far enough," he said,He bought his first land—75,000

acres—In lf:52 and soon thereaftermarried Miss Henrietta.

Realizes 80-Year DreamKing had an Idea. First he want-

ed a home. Then he wanted to ac-sulre all the land from the Nuecesriver to the Rio Grande, quitesizeable tract. On that land hewanted to raise cattle and becomerich. He !:new nothing about cattlenothing about ranching. But hehad nn idea that cattle would thrive-on the brushland. The flesh of theanimals meant nothing to him. Hewanted their hides and their tallowfor profit

He built his first home in 1854on the acreage he had bought, andhe dated ::ls empire from that timeHe called his first home Santa Oer-trudls and now, more than 80 yearslater, Santa Gertrudis stands for thelargest ranch In the world, for amagnificent new breed of cattle andfor a private empire.

W.ir Brings ProfitsKing kept his steamboat as a side-

line and made a fortune during thewar between the states by runninghides, tallow, and cotton into freeMexican ports where they were re-•hipped by eager British vessels.

He bought more land—the highest•t 5 cents nn acre, the lowest at 1cent. He fought rustlers and ticks,armed expeditions after bandits, in-creased hi; herds, hired more riders—and bought more land.

He took another steamboat cap-tain, Mifflln Kenedy. into partner-ship and they began grading theirherds, fencing the land. That part-nership later broke up and now theKenedy ranch, King-controlledcomprises Kenedy county, a king-dom within an empire. Kenedycounty for years defied the stateand only within the lost year haspermitted .1 Texas highway to crossIts fenced borders.

that the skyways will become themost-used means of transportationin the future, and they are bothmembers of the National Aeronau-tical association—an organizationfor the advancement Of interest inthe progress of aviation, both com-mercial and private.

These women are' putting theirhearts and souls into the field theyhave chosen, and are always willingand ready to aid the cause of aero-nautics.

She met herhusband, employed by the PanAmerican Airways here, on the tripand decided to embark on the seasof matrimony instead of the moretranquil currents of the airlanes. Byno means, though, has she given upher ambitions in aviation.

Mrs. Haywood followed her naturalinclinations when she chose avia-tion. After graduating from theUniversity of Cincinnati, she wasappointed to a position teachingschool. A summer vacation provid-ed the opportunity for following hernewly found ambition. Attending aflying school in Cincinnati, Mrs.Haywood received her wings andflew considerably for her own pleas-ure throughout that section of thecountry.

"SO far as I know," Mrs. Johnsonsays, "there has been only one otherwoman allowed to co-pilot on ascheduled airline. Helen Ritchie wa;the first, when she was employed byCentral Airways, but I followeda few months later, and I have neverheard of any others. I consider itone of the greatest honors that couldbe given me."

King Empire Withstands All AttemptsOf Heirs and State To Divide Its Acres

' County Probation Officer Guinnis wondering how he is going tocope with the problem of juveniledelinquents under the age of 10 inthe future.

This division, however, and other•family bequests, was to be precededby a 10-year trusteeship duringwhich the entire King holdings wereto be administered by a board oftrustees. Mrs. King died in 1925. Thetrusteeship was to end in March,1935.

During those 10 .years the Atwoodswere to receive $250 monthly. An-pther Atwbprt.,' a brother of the; two

'involved in the litigation, also1 wasgiven one-eighth of El Sauz rancharid was Ito receive $300 'monthly.

Charge MaladministrationThe Atwood suit sought a receiver-

ship and an accounting of the $40,-'000,000 ranch properties. -It chargedthat the trusteeship had clouded thetitle of the Atwo'od properties;- thatthe trusteeship failed to dissolve in1935 as provided in the will, but keptright on operating; that the Atwoodproperty is the poorest of the em-pire, consisting of barren brushland.over which "stocker" steers roam,the land supporting one cow to about10 acres, an almost unbelievably lowratio.

The trustees are Robert J. Kle-berg Jr., ranch manager, and Rep.Richard Kleberg, both King grand-children; Caesar Kleberg, cousin ofRobert; John D. Finnegan, SamuelG. Ragland, and Richard King Jr.

Huge Mortgage MadeThey contend that the suit was the

result of an old enmity between thelate Mrs. Henrietta King and theAtwood family, and that the trustee-ship conljjnues in effect because it isthe most efficient way of • handlin gthe ranch's far-flung affairs.

Also brought out was a mortgageof $3,000,000 to pay inheritance taxes,and to provide working capital.This, the trustees say does not cloudthe Atwood title in case they shouldwish to sell. There is an arrange-

Then, they say, the Atwoods didnot answer requests for advice onthe division of the property, so thewill was followed. The Atwoodscould sell to the King trustees, andprobably will, observers believe.

In the meantime, the trusteeshipcontinues to administer the affairsof the mesquite-studded two-eighthsin remote El Sauz ranch, where afew Mexicans watch amiably andsleepily over a" few scattered head ofnone-too-gobd. cattle; where townsare 40 miles and more apart andwhere perhaps not one resident in20 speaks English; where water isscarcer and often more valuablethan gasoline and where the groundbakes under an over-zealous sun;where deer and wild turkey andjackrabbits are the chief crop andthe greatest attractions.

AWARD BAND MEDALSSpecial to Herald-Post

ALPINE, Aug. 6.—Roy J. John-son, Sul Ross College band director,awarded the gold medals for loy-alty and progress to two AlpineHigh School'girls, Mary Wade andEthel June Nail.

El Paso Thursday night was ask-ed to help Harris County save $500,-000 a year on its bill for permanentroads.

County Judge Roy Hofheinz ofHarris County, who at 25 is theyoungest county judge in America,spoke from radio station KTSM inbehalf of constitutional amendmentNo. 5 on the ballot August 23.

The amendment which applies toHarris County alone will permitthat county to substitute directtaxes for the present system of vot-ing bonds for roads. The entirestate, however, must vote on it.

$6,900,000 InterestJudge Hofheinz said his county

now must pay $6,900,000 in interestfor $12,300,000 road bonds whichHarris County has voted in the past11 years.

"Harris County's general fund hasbeen on a cash basis for more thaj j20 years," Judge Hofheinz said."This has resulted in a saving ofmillions of dollars to the taxpayers.

"It occurred to us that a similarpolicy for the construction of per-manent lateral roads would beequally good business. Hence thisamendment, which is the only waywe can put the pay as you go planinto effect."

E. P. May FollowHe said that when the plan goes

into effect, if it is voted August 23,Harris County some day will befree of bonded debt for roads.

HIS JOB- Would Yon Rather HaveHis Than Yours?

nue, a shoe salesman, likes his jobbest of all when he is fitting ladiesshoes.

"That's when you are accomplish-ing something," said Jacques.

The ordinary bystander thinks.-noe selling is nothing more thanselling shoes of a certain size andof a style requested. Jacques buststhat bubble.

"The efficient shoe salesman sellsthe customer a shoe that first of allprovides comfort," said Jacques. "Aperson may ask for a type of shoethat would no more fit the custo-mer's foot than a box would. Youmust be able to look at a foot andat a glance tell what type of shoewill be the most comfortable.'

A SuccessThat's why Jacques gets so much

pleasure out of selling women'sshoes.

"Women's feet are more difficultto fit," he said. "When you provirf-ea woman with shoes that are com-fortable and shoes that please, youhave scored a worthwhile successin the day's work."

The woman customer providesthe day's greatest thrill and alsothe most work.

Worst of all Jacques likes to fita woman who announces before-hand, "I've got a hard foot to fit.-"

Men Like Comfort"Her mind is made up that she

be successful," he added. "Andwhen its success has been proved,it is probable El Paso County alsowill wish to put it into effect. Weask your help now to help us savethe money we have been paying ininterest on road bonds. If the daycomes when you need our help, wewill give it gladly."

He says that type of woman is aholdover from the old days whenthere were few shoe styles and nogreat variation of size.

"These days," he says, "there areno women's feet hard to fit."

As for men, comfort is the thingthey seek most of all.

•By GORDON TURRENTINENBA Service Special Correspondent

RAYMONDVILLE, July 29.—Death strikes again at theTeat King ranch, fabulous 1,250,000-acre "principality" at theouthern tip of Texas, deepening the air of mystery that has"ung over its vast acres ever since last November.

Today it is George Durham, 42, autocratic foreman of'the!1 S,aux section of tho ranch, who is dead. Three doctors andti undertaker certified that Durham died naturally of a heart attackhile branding cattle. This quieted widespread rumors of a shooting. -

But the farmers outside the borders of the King domain rememberte Blantons, father and son, who climbed the fence into El Sauz last

all and never returned. And they wait grimly to hear the report ofapt. Bill McMurray, most famous of modern Texas Rangers, whoays he has solved the Blantonase and will announce his find-ngs as soon as the case is "iron-lad," . -McMurray, recently named by

he governor" as the outstandingnd most typical .Ranger, was put

inspired confidence, but the sud'en death of Durham fanned oncegain a feud which has smolderednd.; broken into intermittent flameor years between the', farmers ofttllacy ^county and the armedders who guard the fenced bor-ers of the vast, almost iutony-LOUS King ranch "empire."WO SWALLOWED UPIt 'was on'Nov. ,18, 1936, thatuther Blanton, 57, 'and -his son,ohn, 24, climbed the fence be-ween their tiny farm and the Elauz section'Of the R\ig ranch.That fence encloses contlnu-

their disappearance new stories

Of El Sauz (the southernmost divi-sion of the King ranch) and hinever returned.

None of those stories have hesubstantiated. Most of them alegend or vague recollections. Buthey stirred the hatred of thfarmers, and expeditions were organized to search the ranch. Wheithey were barred by armecguards, the Rangers went in, ansrelatives of the Blantons said the;would leave the investigation u;to Capt. Bill McMurray and hLmen.FAMILY BACKS PROBE

Mere days and weeks pacsed withno word of the Blantons, no solu-tion to the mystery. Searchers,course, had barely touched the out-skirts of even El Sauz, whose linefences run into the salty watersthe Gulf of Mexico, Literally milesof gnarled, sprawling mesqtiitetears at men's clothing lay withirthe boundaries. Men had been lostfor days there. Dusty cattle trailsled" to" dry water, holes. On thehottest days buzzards wheeled andturned overhead. One slope lookedlike the next, one leafless tree likeanother. Men might die and theirskeletons not be found for years.

KINGSVlLIjE, July 30.—Steamboat Captain Richard Kingwanted an empire in Texas so wide that a man riding in astraight line on a good horse couldn't cross it in a week. Hewanted a home for himself and his bride, set on a land heritagewhich would last a hundred years or more.

He founded the great King ranch, which covers or laps intoeight counties in Soiith Texas, and whose sprawling miles wouldrounder the strongest horse. Ithas lasted since 1854 and showsfew serious signs of disintegra-tion.RUNAWAY GOES TO SEA

Richard King was bom In OrangeCounty, N. J., in 1821, found him-self apprenticed at 10 to a jeweler,didn't like it, and casually ranaway.

He stowed away on a vessel boundfor Mobile and, with something ofthe luck which pursued h i mthroughout his life, happened tofind one of the few kindly men whoIn those days went down to roughseas on rough ships. The captainliked the boy, sent him to »chooland later taught him the trade ofsteamboat captaining and how totrade shrewdly.

King fought In the Seminole Warand the Mexican War and becameacquainted with that unbelievablysluggish and unattractive RioGrande, with its sagebrush borders,its quicksand and its preposterousmeandering!. He met schooners at

On one of his trips to the bordertown the young steamboat captainmet Henrietta Chamberlain, whostslightly impractical father was oc-cupied with the discouraging taskof enticing Mexicans to church atah hour which seriously interferedwith their siestas.

'A few meetings with Miss Hen-rietta convinced King that steam-boat captaining was too lonely, andone-day he rode away with a youngarmy officer named Robert E. Lee.After several days through chapar-ral and mesquite, road runners,armadillos, and flatheaded rattle-snakes, they came to a gently roll-ing country on. the coastal plaini.King looked about him.

• "We've come far enough," he said.He'bought his first land—75,000

acres—in 1852 and soon thereaftermarried Miss Henrietta.REALIZES 80-YEAR DREAM

King had an idea. First he Want-ed a home. Then he wanted to ac-ed a home. Then he wanted to ac- nlng hides, tauow, and cowon intoquire all the land from the .Nueccs tree Mexican ports where they wereriver to the Rio Grande, quite • slz- rcshlpped by eager British vessels.

He built his first home in 1854on'the acreage he had bought*andhe dated his empire from thattime. He called his first home San-ta Oertrudls and now, more than80 years later, Santa Gertrudisstands for the largest ranch In theworld, for a magnificent new breedof cattle and for a private empire.WAR BRINGS PROFITS

"The Retail Merchant's associa-tion," according to E. E. Cockerellsecretary of the local office, "issimply a clearing house for creditinformation. Every person makeshis own credit rating, we simplyrecord it."PURCHASER, TOO, PROFITS

But In this recording, and throughthe system of reports and checkswhich the association makes avail-able to Its members, a nationallyaffiliated industry has been builtfor the protection of the merchantand the convenience of the pur-chaser.

The primary purpose of the or-ganization, of course, Is to protectIts members from bad credit ac-counts, yet credit men have foundthat more than ninety percent olcredit buyers are basically honest.About five percent buy on creditwith no intention of ever payingthe account and fifteen percentlave a tendency to overbuy. Be-coming too heavily loaded withoverdue accounts, many of themgradually fall Into the class of poorcredit risks.

On receiving an application forthe opening of an account, the own-er or credit manager of the storesends an Inquiry to the associa-,lon and is given detailed informa-tion on the number of accounts theperson has, the highest amount ofeach account, the record of pay-ment of each account, and the per-iod of time over which each ac-count has been used, also his em-ployment and the length of timeemployed.

Tlie association's recommendationconsists of such phrases as good,good but slow, good for limitedamount, or whatever the recordJustifies.MERCHANT'S WORD FINAL

.The merchant always has thefinal say as to whether or not thecredit Is granted.

"A man's credit," said Cockrell,"Is absolutely his own possession.He alone can keep It good and onlyhe can ruin It. Once It Is ruined,it Is hard to reestablish, but whenIt Is made good again it Is betterthan ever.

"Through the association we tryto protect the credit .merchantsfrom the few people who will buywith no Intention of ever payingfor the goods and at the same timecontrol, to an. extent, the creditbuying of those whose tendency Isto buy more than they are ableto pay for." '

that his record has prsccded himo his new location. In such a casehe merchants already have a re-

two-way voice communication wouldbe especially useful. Planes, hasuggested, could stay on the trailof a fugitive automobile better thahpursuing vehicles. He admitted tflftuse of aircraft also had its limi-tations.

South Texas Ranch DevelopsNew Breed For Cattle World

Only Distinct TypeIn America

HARLINGEN— From the ex-Unsive cattle ranges of SouthTexas, bordering on the LowerRio Grande Valley, has come theonly distinct new breed of live-stock developed in this country.It is the Santa Gertrudis breedoriginated and developed on theKing Ranch and which was estab-lished following years of breed-Ing experiments and work.

Only recently 87 head of SantaGsrtrudis cattle were shipped toCuba consigned to seven ranch-ers on the Island. Smaller ship-msnts had been made to Cuba andto Mexico in the past. Santa Ger-trudis cattle also have been ship-p»d to ranches in Texas, to the {eastern part of the United Statesand to the mid-West. j

Insteadof losing weight, they seemed togo right on gaining. They werefed an average of 110 days. The700 '• steers averaged 1,550 -poundsweighed off the cars, dressed inexcess of 64 per cent and the pack-ers were well pleased with them.

Kleberg declared the ranch hasfed quite a lew strings of the cat-tle of different ages and under dif-ferent systems of feeding with re-

sults comparable to that givenabove. .

The ranch last spring snipped acar of four and five year old San-ta Gertrudis cows from- sandy,ranges in Kenedy County tha',dressed more than 64 per cent inHouston and' weighed more than1,100 pounds. It is difficult to sayhow many of the cattle will findtheir way .into feed lots as wellfinished grass steers of the SantaGsrtrudis breed usually averagearound 60 per cent dress and ex-tremely good steers average muchhigher.

Originators of the Santa Gor-trudis breed went in work with adef in i te object in view—to pro-duce a braocl of cattle which wouldbe more profitable, under thedistinct and peculiar natural con-ditions of the Coastal Plains re-gion, than any other breed or typeformerly bred on the Kins Ranch.The work was started by the lateRobert J. Kleberg as manager ofthe extensive ranch property, wascontinued through the interest ofhis two sons. Congressman RichardM KleborK of Corpus Chrlsli andRobert J. Klcborg. Jr., of Kings-ville. president of the King Ranchand ranch manager who carriedthe experiments through to pre-sent success. Impor tant part inthe work dur ing the- years has been

-• played by Caesar Kleberg, cousinol Richard and Robert and recog-nized authority on cattle.

Resistant To PestsFor many years ranchers in

South Texas have crossed Brahma- cattle wi th their herds, A native

of India, the Brahma is accustom-ed to heat and 1« resistant to insectpests and shows itself a hardy andfast-growing animal on the Texasranges. In 1910 a friend of theKtebergs gave them a large blackbull that was half Shorthorn andhalf Brahma. They turned himloose in a breeding pasture andwatched results. In the fall of 1918they took a herd ol his offspringand compared them to a herd ofpure-breed Herefords. The Brah-ma-blooded cattle, they decided,were not only better than theHerefords, but were the best rangeanimals they had ever seen on theranch. The next year Robert J.Kloberg, Jr., made preparationspermanently and completely tocross the ranch Shorthorns. Cat-tlemen agree that it was a gravedecision as, for 35 years, theranch's Shorthorn bred had beenbred clean and pure. Fifty-twofine 3-year-old Brahma bulls werepurchased from the Pierce Estate |and w»re mated to pure-bred |Shorthorn cows. The present San- jt* Gertrudis breed is the result of« complex process of breeding.

In the beginning, accordirr: toBob Kleberg. the King Hmvj.i :3stocked with cattle from . _ _ . - ; o .mostly longhorns. In the y^i.-., ih.afollowed the herds were aii L-jn-verted to standard British breeds.Approximately one half o£ theherds were pure Herefords andthe other half pure Shorthorn cat-tle. Both breeds were kept pureto test their merits. Neither breedshowed complete adaption toSouth Texas range conditions.

Cattle Are Qrau Fed"In the hope." Klcberg said, "of

producing a beef animal thatwould make good beef from our

.native range grasses, we crosiedhigh grade Brahca bulls, of goodIndividuality, on our pure Short-horned cattle. These crossbred ani-mals immediately showed theiradvantages and caused us to at-tempt the'formation of a specialbreed of cattle for our rangeconditions. Thli has culminated inthe formation of our Santa Ger-trudis, whose base is a Brahma jcross on shorthorned cowi." !

Santa Gertrudis cattle have done ,10 well on the ranges that theXing Ranch has discontinued, to* large extent, the sale of stockeror feeder cattle and. instead, fin-iihes most of its cattle on grassand then ships them direct tomarket for immediate slaughter. Asa r«iult very few King Ranch cat-

.tle now find their way into feedlots.

The ranch has, however, fromtime to time, fed small strings ofJrom 500 to 1,000 Santa Gertrudis .

•rattle for market, feeding either |cake on the grass or grain rations iin dry lots. Among the advantagesnoted were very satisfactory gains,very smooth finish, the readinessand quickness that they go onfeed, and the fact that they feedJust as well in summer as in win-ter.

CHARLES

He Went to School for Only Four Years— Yet HeWrole Seventeen Immortal Novels

Ninety years aK<> a l i t t le bor.k w.ispublished in London—a story to b"-come immortal. Many people hnvecalled it "(lie Rrcalesf l i t t l e book inthe world." When it f i r s t appcari-ii.friends meeting eaeh o ther 1 . 1 1 t h eStrand or Pall Mal l a.-ked. "Haveyou read it'.'" and the .IMS-AM- i n -variably was "Yes. Gnd nicss h im,I have."

The day it was published a thou-sand copies were sold. W i t h i n afortnight, the presses had clashedoff fifteen thousand copies. Hineethen, it has been whirled into count -less editions and has been t r ans -lated into almost every languageunder heaven. A f . \v y.uus aKo. ,1.P. Morgan purchased the or ig ina lmanuscript for a fabulous price;

and it now reposes among his otherpriceless treasures in that magni f i - ,cent art gallery in New York Citywhich he calls his library.

What is this world-famous book?Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol.

He wasn't paid a cent fur thatstory. And his next eight storiesnetted him—how much do you sup-pose? Nothing. Absolu tory ' r . ' i i i i in f i .When h_- f ina l ly did net i > : . i l realmulley lor a story, he ivc-.'ived acheck for the royal sum of f ivedollars. Yes, his first story broughthim only five, dollars: but h i s lastmanuscript brought hi.- esL.tj f i f -teen dollars a word—the highestprice ever paid to an author sincethe beginning of time! Fifteen dol-lars a word. Why that is precisely15 times as much as Calvin Coolidfieand Theodore Roosevelt were everpaid.

Most authors are ignored and for-gotten within five years after theirdeath. But sixty-three years alterDickens' death, publishers paid

_his estate more than a f i f t h of amillion dollars for the story of ourLord—a little book that Dickens hadwritten for his own children.

Charles Dickens' childhood wassordid and pathetic. It was morethan that. It was tragic. He wasonly ten years old when his fatherwas thrown into prison for debt,and the family had nothing to eat;so every morning .Charles went tothe pawnshop and sold some of thelew remaining pieces of householdfurniture. He even had to sell hisdearly beloved books—ten of them—the only companions he had reallyever known. In later years he said,"when I sold my books, 1 thoughtmy heart would break."

In later years, Dickens, the writ-er, avenged his own childhood bycreating the unforgettable portraitof Oliver Twist holding out hisempty porridge bowl and askingfor more.

Dickens wrote vivid scenes ofperfect domestic bliss. Yet his ownmarriage was a failure—a dismal,tragic failure. He lived for twenty-three years with a wife he didn'tlove. She bore him ten children.But year by year his misery deep-ened. He had the whole worldfawning at his feet; but his own

home was filled with heartbreak.Finally the misery became so sharp,so poignant, tha t he could no longerendure it. So he did an unheard-ofthing in those Victorian days—hepublished an arir.mnccinrnl in his"v n in:):.:-.i7.ine t i . ' c l a r i i u ' , t h a t In- andhis wife had separated. Did heshoulder the blamo himself? He didnot. He tried In throw it all onher.

Dickens was the best-beloved andmost idolized man of his day. Onhis second visit to America, peoplestood in line for hours, shivering inthe wind, whi le wai t ing to buytickets. In Brooklyn, people l ightedbonfires and lay all night on mat-tresses in the street, r i sk ing frost-bite and pneumonia for the pr iv i -lege of paying three dollars apieceto hear him talk. And when thet ickets were sold out and hundreds !had to be turned away, his admirers 'actually started a riot. i

Promotion GivesCalifornia HighIncome Rankings

I DALLAS. Feb. 21—Comparison ofoccupational and income character-istics of Texas and California—(honation's No. and 2 states in areaand currently running n close racefor f i f t h place in population—dis-closes some large differentials infavor of the coast state that mnybe traced to its "advertising-mind-edness", says a report of the All-South Development Council.

Similarities between the twostates other than areal size andpopulation, the report points out,are to be found in their climate,their comparative "youngness,"their oil and fias resources, theirnatural agricultural productivity,and their scenic and tourist poten- 'tialities. At a time when much in-terest is being manifest in Texasin co-ordinated plans for state pro-motions, a comparison will serveto indicate the progress thus madeby the kindred State of Cal i fornia ,which since 1921 has been the pio-neer and leader in such efforts.

It is significant, the report notes,that Texas is awakening to its ownpossibilities in two fields by whichCalifornia has especially profited.This is being reflected by increasedactivity in merchandising Texascitrus products, and growing senti-ment for a state promotion plan.the latter stemming from the dem-onstration during Centennial yearof what "tourist dollars" can mean.In line with this is pressure furadoption of a constructive and co-operative stale policy toward indu.--try, to give needed support to i f-Jovts being mr.de by city and re-gional trade groups and leadingindustries to attract new investmentcapital to the state.

Most notable statistical contrastin the economics of the two statesis seen in the National IndustrialConference Board's study of in-comes received by individuals inthe various states for 1929-1935,which showed California rankingthird in the nation in percapita in-come, topped only by New Yorkstate and Connecticut, while Texaswas ranked 35th. In per capita re-tail sales tables. California was sec-cond. and in percentage of its pop-ulation making federal income taxreturns it was third, while Texasis not mentioned ^mong the leadingstate-j in either of these tabulationsin Dunn & bradstreet's "resource;

King Ranch DevelopsBreed of Netc Cattle

CORPUS CHRISTI, Feb. 18—(/Fl-it is claimed the only distinctivenew breed of livestock developed inAmerica is a product of SouthTexas—the Santa Gertrudis beefcattle originated on the King ranch.

The type, established throughmany years of breeding experi-ments, is gaining increasing recog-ni t ion, 87 head recently being ship-ped to Cuba. Santa Gertrudis catt lealso have been sent to ranchers inMexico and in the Eastern andMidwestern states.

The Santa Gertrudis breed, col-ored a deep cherry red. resultedfrom a complex process of breed-ing Brahma bulls and pure-bredshorthorn cows. The work wasstarted in !910 nnc! carried lo SHOccss in recent years by Robert ,1.

Klcberg, Jr., manager of the ranch. ]The Brahma, a native of India, is jaccustomed to heat and is resistant j

! to insect pests, prevalent in this' area, and shows itself a hardy, fast-growing animal on the Texas rang- •es. Santa Gertrudis animals fill theneed for n breed better adaptedthan others to the peculiar naturalconditions of the coastal plainscountry. |

The cattle have done so well onthe ranges that the King ranch hasdiscontinued, to a large extent, thepale of stacker or feeder cattle, and, •'instead, finishes most of its ani-

1 mals on grass and ships them directto market for immediate slaughter, jAs a result, very few King ranchcatt le go into feed lots. The ranchhap. however, fed strings of SOO to1.000 for market from time to time, jAdvantages noted have been satis-factory gains, smooth f in ish , readi-ness and ciuickncFs of the animals

to go on feed, and the fact that theyfeed as well in summer as In win-ter.

The ranch recently had a bunchof 4-year-olds that were very faton grass. Seven hundred werebrought in from bushy pasturesand placed on grain rations. Theyweighed an average of 1,300 poundswhen placed on feed and alterfeeding an average of 110 days, av-eraged 1,550 pounds weighed off thecars and dressed in excess of 64per cent.

Advice on choosing a wife?

When research engineers of Frigidaire and Gen-eral Motors were making preliminary plans to con-tribute to the science of cooking, they asked thou-sands of housewives what features of design andconvenience they would include in a new electricrange if they had the final say-so. Their sugges-tions are incorporated in the new Frigidaire electric

range, now being introduced nationally as a sisterproduct to the famous Frigidaire electric refriger-ator, of which more than 4,250,000 have been in-stalled. Of streamline design in gleaming, lifetimeporcelain, the Frigidaire range literally was plannedin the kitchens of America to give efficient, conve-nient, low-cost and longtime service.

Don't take it! Choosing a wife is onething every man should do for himself. It'sthe same with a brewmaster in choosinghops. No laboratory rule-of-thumb canguide him. Only skill and experience candistinguish between the mere fragrance ofordinary hops and the medley of exquisiteand elusive aromas that exudes from trulyfine blossoms. The costly imported Saazerhops used in brewing BUDWEISER arechosen only after three separate and dis-tinct judgings. Hence the sprightly bou-quet that hovers over each glass ofBUDWEISER . .. and the distinctive tastethat sets BUDWEISER so vividly apart.

and debts of the 48 states."While it might be thought that

labulous movie salaries accountedfor the high ratio of income-tax re-turns, it is pointed out that thistable deals only with percentages—not totals—of persons making re-turns, which makes it a prime fac-tor in showing the relative distri-bution of above-average income^.

Tiie two important faciors behindCalifornia 's strong position in thesevar ious income- indices ar j : i l l t h junusual ly high money value of itsfarm crops, which gives that statefirs t rank in the nation in cropsvalue although only 13.4 per centof its employed persons work inagriculture, and it is not one of the22 "predominantly agricultural'1stales; 12) its No. 1 national rank-ing in "service industries," namelytransportation, trade, and profes-sional and public, and domesticservices.

The high return on crops if ac-counted for by the fact that fruitsmake up 64.9 per cent of the totalcrop value in Cal i fornia , whereascotton is the dominant Texas farmcrop, with 51.7 per cent. And thelarge percentage of trade and pro-fessional and public service em-ployes in California is attributableto the state's policy of selling itselfas a resort and tourist center. With21.4 per cent o£ its gainfully em-ployed persons in "trade," and 13.2per cent in professional and publicservice—doctors, lawyers, dentists,trade association managers— Cali-fornia leads all states. The Texaspercentages in these classificationsare, respectively, 13.9 and b.

Although neither Texas nor Cal-ifornia are amony the 15 "predom-inantly manufacturing states," nev-ertheless the latter ranked seventhin the nation in value of manufac-tured products in 1935, with build-ing, iron and steel, food, chemicals,automobile:?, woodworking, andprintin; ' and pub l i sh ing making upthe bulk of her production. Of herworkers in productive industries,24.7 were engaged in manufactur-ing, while the Texas figure was15.6 per cent.

Armaments ofWorld Too Large,

Admiral AssertsSAN FRANCISCO. Calif., Feb. 17

—(/Pi—Rear Admiral A. J. Hepburndeclared here Monday he believedarmies and navies of all worldpowers are double what they shouldbe. He said many naval men sharedthis view.

"Of course it's a case of competi-tion," he said. "When other peoplesstart arming as the Germans didbefore the last war. you've simplygot to meet them, battleship for bat-tKship, cruiser for cruiser.

"But I think we have not seenthe end of arms limitation confer-ences. There will be more of themand much could be accomplishedthat way.

"Naval armaments and land arma-ments certainly are too high allover the world. You could cut themall in half and have plenty."

The former commander in chiefof the navy aired this belief Mon-day at his first interviews sincetaking command of the TwelfthNaval District hero. He asked forthe post, he said, because he con-sidered the West Coast the mostimportant at present.

"The fleet is here," he said. "Andthat's where it belongs in the pres-ent state of international affairs.

"Although we are spending 11per cent of our total budget on thearmy and navy, he pointed out,other countries far less able to af-ford it, are spending much more.

"Some are spending 25 per cent.What for? They've got their reasons.Everybody is crying for peace now-adays, but we don't know whatthey mean by peace. We might f indthat what some of them would con-sider satisfactory peace conditionswould surely mean stamping onothers' toes.

"But I believe this country isgrowing a little more international-ly wise, to what's going on. a littlemore wil l ing to say, "No, we're notgoing to be caught in the ruck ifanybody has intentions againstus.. "

The Admiral expressed impatiencewi th attempts to classify certainforms of armanment as offens iveand cithers as defensive.

"There are some pro-Japanesegroups who say battleships andairplanes are offensive," he said,"and others talk about submarinesbeing defensive. I don't know whatthey're laJkinj; about.

"A battleship's a battleship, anda gun's a gun. no matter at whichi'iid of i t you stand. In a war thething to do is win it, any way youcan. If you can do it defensivelyso much the better."

17 Dead, 28 Lost In Quebec Blaze; 21 Persons Hurt

St. Hyacinthe, Que., Jan. 19— ( Canadian P r e s s )—Forty-five teachers and pupils were i-eported dead or missing by Sacred Heart College authorities today after fire destroyed the college building yes-terday.

Seventéen were known dead and 28 were unaccounted for. In addi-tion, 21, were injured, some of them seriously.

There was no indication exact-ly how many students and teachers perished when flames engulfed the four story structui-e. Provin-cial police said bodies of some of those missing might be found in ruins of the building, but that others might have found shelter in farmhouses near the college.

Only two dead had been identi-fied—Brother Jean Baptiste, of Sherbrooke, Que., and Joseph Vin-cent, a student, of St. Hyacinthe.

Of four missing brothers, one was from the United States, Broth-er Xavier, 24, born Vincent Le-tourneau, of Pawtucket, R. i. Another was Brother Paul Ar-mand, 25, a native of St. Hyacin-the, whose family lives at Woon-socket, R. I.

Three missing students were from the United States: William O'Connell, Westport, Conn.; Nor-mand and Roger Poulin, brothers. Central Falls, R. I.

School and fire authorities said they had been unable to deter-mine the orgin of the fire which broke out shortly after midnight and gained a half hour start be-fore it was discovered. It ran ra-pidly through the building which housed 80 boarding students and 31 teaching brothers.

Firemen had to wait hours for the ruins to cool before they could start searching for bodies. Only the walls of the $500,000 building remained.

Grenada Holds Mass Meeting To Oppose Anti-Lynching Bill

Grenada, Jan. 19—(/¡P)—Grenada County citizens had stem faces turned today toward the anti-lynching bill now in Congress.

At a mass meeting last night they adoDted resolutions dfenounc-ing the bin, endorsing the filibus-ter against it, and expressing dis-appointment the measure was ini-tiated by the Democratic party.

"Call us anything you like but we would rather be sleeping in the bed with Senator Borah, Republi-can, than in the bed of Senator Wagner," said Cowles Horton, city attorney, in an address at the meeting.

And J. B. Pen-y, Jr., president of the Grenada County Chamber of Commerce, declared. "The Democratic party is kicking us out but we are not getting out.

The resolutions began with a condemnation of lynching and said "We point with pride to the fact that crime in our section has been lessened more within recent years than elsewhere in our cotm-try."

Regret over the "abolition of the two-thirds rule of our Democratic convention" was also voiced.

Evangelist Uses Tavern As Church

Marquand, Mo., Jan. 1 9 — — The Rev. Noel Bremner, Ozarks Mountain Nazarene minister, re-ported success today for revivals he holds nightly in a tavern while beer sales are suspended half an hour.

"The tavern becomes a church the minute I place on the walls a sign I have hand-printed which reads 'Church of the Nazarene'," Bremner explained.

The young revivalist said he was ordained last September. The odd alliance with Bartender Murphy Myers began 10 days ago ^ ter he had trouble finding a place to preach.

"Finally I recalled the biblical admonition, 'Go ye forth into aU the world and preach the gospel.' I asked Myers, and he said 'All right'."

Bremner declared clerical for-malism "is headed for the ash, heap; in another 50 years preach-ers will have to hunt up their audiences as I do."

So Ozarkians came from miles around to sit on the tables, on the floor, even on the bar, and listen

SAN ANGELO, Jan.W. T. Kemper, who died thismorning in Kansas City, becamereceiver for the Kansas City,Mexico and Orient railroad in1917 and saved "that streak ofrust running off nowhere on theprairies of the Southwest" fromoeing junked. This has beentermed many times one of thegreatest services to the Southwestand to San ^.ngelo.

Kemper took the position upon:he solicitation of the late JudgeJohn C. Pollock of Kansas CityIn whose court the receivershipof the Orient had been for anumber of years. Taking thispost without pay, he said hewould give his service free ofcharge as he felt the completionof the road would be of greatbenefit to Kansas City and theSovithwest and he would take hispay from the benefits his homecity derived from It.

Seven years after Kemper tookcharge and initiated sbme extra-ordinary economies, the roadshowed a profit of $142,000. Kcm-?er became president of the linein 1925. Two years later he andcounsel were awarded more than$1,000,000 in fees for their 10-yearservices. In order to save andconserve, Kemper had the ter-minal shops at Wichita, Kan.,built with lumber from disman-tled box cars. Bridge heads, snowfences and depots were construct-ed of lumber from the samesource. Locomotive flues wereutilized as posts for sign boardsand whistling posts and rails nolonger suitable were sawed Intoshort pieces and used along theline as posts for protective pur-poses. _ _

EFFORTSTODEVELOPBEEF CATTLE IN FARSOUTH SUCCESSFUL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—WV-The bureau of animal industrytoday reported satisfactory resultsfrom its efforts to develop beefcattle especially adapted to DeepSouth and Gulf Coast climatioand grazing conditions by cross-ing African and Asiatic cattlewith Angus and Shorthorn stock.

It s.-lid experiments at Klngs-ville, Texas, and Jeanerette, La.,involving mixtures of cattle fromSouth Africa and Brahman cattlefrom India with blooded domesticstock had produced excellent ani-mals.

Bureau officials said the objectwas to develop a hardy breed towithstand heat and insects of tha.Gulf Coast area which would growrapidly and produce heavy beefon grass.

The bureau said the experimentsshould lend impetus to growth ofthe Southern beef cnttle Industry.

Experiments with the African-der cattle began In 1932 when theagriculture department in co-oper-ation with the King ranch atKingsvllle, Texas, imported 16bulls and 13 females.

The bureau said Brahma cattlefrom India have been mixed ex-tensively with Shorthorns alongthe Gulf Coast from New Orelansto Brownsville, Texas, because ofability to endure heat and to trav-el great distance to water andthat an excellent new breed, desig-nated as the Santa Gertrudis, re-sulted.

Texas Long Noted -For Stock Breeds

Texas is famous for its cattleand livestock history is told andre-told both in story and in song,and all who know the west stilllook upon the Lone Star State asthe largest cattle producing do-main in the United States. There-fore, most of Texas' early history,settlement and development up totoday is closely related to the pro-duction of cattle on its fertile soil,with strong, native grasses andvegetation, favorable climate, withenough altitude in .most of stateto make It adaptable as a breedingarea affording good grazing aridfeeding for the improved domesticbeef breeds. Around San Antonio,in central and southwest Texasare found some of the best cattlein the country.

Tlie "Texas Longhorn" or na-tive pioneer of the cattle breeds inTexas no doubt should come firstin line ahead of other domesticbeef breeds, as the early Europeanexpeditions found only Longhorncattle here on the Texas coastalong Gulf of Mexico. Next amongthe five domestic beef breeds im-ported Into tills state came asfollows: Herefords, Shorthorns,Aberdeen-Angus and Brahmans.

Some. historians give a promi-nent place to the North Americanbison or buffalo in the cattle group,and while they were also an earlynative animal living in Texas, theydiffer in several respects from do-

-mestic cattle and were never do-mesticated in any definitely com-mercial numbers and their cross-breds or Catalo were also neververy successfully raised in enoughnumbers to have an influence onthe cattle industry. Both are nowpractically extinct. '

TEXAS LONGHOKNS.Therefore, first we should con-

sider and give due credit andspace to the "Texas Longhorn"cattle, which were of Spanish ori-gin, their ancestors coming fromSpain to New •. Spain or Mexico

and then into what is now knownas Texas (Tejas), and were nat-urally here first by man; years.The Loughorns were naturally socalled for their long, curving orpitched sharp-pointed horns, withtheir rough, rugged frames of largebone and a strong constitutioncapable ot great endurance.. TheseLonghorns were the foundationstock- of the cattle of the greatSouthwest and were improvedsome through the early years byearly Texas cattlemen and traildrivers, who made some effort inselecting best types with fairlyfleshy conformation. However, asthey increased rapidly in numbersand could stand long hard drives,the Texans, having no other kindof cattle, continued to raise themand drive them each spring andsummer over the historic cattletrails of Texas and. Oklahoma topoints in Kansas where they weresold.

HEREFORD S POPULAR.The Herefords are popularly

known or called "Whiteface" andwherever you see the'white faceon a red body with a few whitemarkings on the legs, crest andlower lines, you are looking at ananimal that no doubt is a Here-ford or can be traced directly tothe breed. Herefords are definitelya very high type of domestic beefcattle and originated in Englandin Herefordshire. The introduc-tion of Herefords into Americamight be divided into two periods,the first of Importations intoEastern and Central states, andsecond and most important, theimportations into the Westernstates.

Shorthorns, while in the main abeef type, are also regarded as adual purpose breed, as the familyalso has a strain known as milkingShorthorns. Both are of Englishorigin, originating hi the coun-tries of York and Durham in.thevalley of the River Tees and,

therefore, in some cases in earlytimes in England, referred to asthe "Teeswater Breed." Duringthe early introduction of the breedinto the United States it was fre-quently called "Durham" after oneof the two ancestral English coun-ties. The Shorthorn may be solidred, red with small white mark-ings, white or red roan, and isoften referred to as the fled, whiteand roan.

POLLED ANGUS.Aberdeen-Angus, often common-

ly called Polled Angus or BlackAngus, is a very compact, fleshybeef and originated in easternScotland in the counties of Aber-deen, Kincardine and Foifar onthe North Sea. The Aberdeen-Angus being a natural hornless orsoiled cattle and very compact,short legged and smooth coveringof flesh are very adaptable to the'eed lot and are often winners in;he larger stock shows in the fatsteer division and hold many rec-

ords in high dressing percentageswhen processed by packers.

Brahman (Zebu) cattle, oftencommonly called Brahma, wereapparently not originally bred as abeef type, but mostly as a beast ofburden and milking. This breedwas imported first in numbers intoTexas by A. P. Borden in 1906 fromIndia for the Pierce estate, ranch,in Wharton County. They havebeen principally used in crossingwith other breeds of native Texascattle and this cross reduces thefleshy hump but also results in ahanimal that does very well inSouthwest Texas.

These five leading beef breedshave shown a great and lastinginfluence in cattle breeding andraising in Texas and while theHerefords predominate, the otherbreeds are given recognition andin some future years the propor-tions might show a change in bal-ance. Tli ere have been some otherbeef or dual purpose breeds im-

Half Farm Land •Producing Meat

Half the farm land of the Unit-ed States, a large majority oi itsfarmers, and a considerable frnc-tion of its food processors anddistributors are partly or whollyengaged in supplying the country'smeat.

The farms of the United Statescomprise about 1055 million acres,or about 55 1-2 per cent of its to-tal land area, according to the1935 census of agriculture; and in1934 about BIO million acres, ornearly half the total farm acreage,had been devoted to pastures lorlivestock. Also, 76 1-2 millionacres had grown hay and otherforage crops, and approximately118 million acres had raised corn,oats, or barley—grains which arefed to livestock extensively.

Almost 5 1-2 million farms, outof the national total of nearly7 million, reported having somecattle, with approximately 1 1-2million farms producing beef ent-ile. Hogs were grown on. nearly4 million farms, and sheep onalmost two-thirds of a million.

Americans EatBig Meat Share

Tlie people of the United States,although comprising less than sixper cent of the world's populationand owning less than a f i f th of itshogs and only a tenth of its cuttle,oat perhops a fourth of its beefaud fourth of its pork.

By contrast, in British India,where the Hindus hold some entilesacred, beef production and con-sumption are relatively low, al-though India boasts twice as manycattle (including water buffalo)as does the United States,

ported into Texas but some werenever kept up. Among them partare only slightly known were theRed Poll, Brown Swiss, Red Afri-cander and one small herd ofScotch Highlanders or West High-landers, small mountain beef breedof Scottish origin.

'Not Opposed To AllOf Rer.tfro List'

BROWNSVILLE—Chief of PoliceJohn A. McRay said Friday after-noon he had been "misquoted" con-cerning his opinion of Mayor E. B.Hentfro's selection of officials forthe charter amendment election tobe held August 29.

Chief McRay said his objectionwas to some of the persons namedbut not to all of them.

NEW SAVINGSON TUCC TAXARE OUTLINED

District's EmployersSpared $750,000

BROWNSVILLE—Savingi -of ap-proximately $750,000 to employersin the 16-county South Texas dis-trict of the Texas UnemploymentCompensation Commission will re-sult from the recently instituted taxreduction program, ThurmondKrueger, supervising examiner forthe Brownsville district, reportedSaturday.

For the entire state, the futuretax savings to Texas employers willamount to more than $10,000',000 Ina year, Krueger said in pointingout that the tax reduction will ap-ply to employers having low laborturnovers.

Krueger's announcement followed ja .previous statement from OrvilleS. Carpenter, chairman-director ofthe Texas commission, that the stateunemployment compensation taxcollections, from employers of,eightor more persons, has to date reach-ed a total of $7,276,088 for 1939.

"Tax paying employers now rea-ize that if their workers have had

constant employment in 1938", 1939,and 1940, individual tax rates for941 and thereafter may drop to j

as low as five-tenths of one percent from the 2.7 now paid the !state," Krueger explained.

Illustrating the trend toward em-ployment stabilization, the districtsupervisor pointed out that theTexas State Employment Servicefilled 2,122 jobs in the 16-countydistrict which includes the Valleyduring May.

• An individual tax for each em-ployer effective January 1, 1941will be determined, Krueger con-tinued. Two things will decide the jrates, he said. First, the total jamount of benefits paid claimantsduring the prior years; second, theindividual employers' three-yearlabor turnover reflected by hisformer workers' having filed claimson which payments were made. Eachrate will be governed by an em-ployer's past employment recordand by the total amount of fundsneeded for the state to pay benefitsfor another years.

CONGRATULATIONSCAMERON COUNTY BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

ON THE PURCHASE OF A PROVEN JERSEY SIRE

Doirylike Lad Roy, Registration No. 331841

A MESSAGE TO CATTLE BREEDERSFor years the Lower Rio Grande Valley wag ieriously

handicapped from the standpoint of dairying. Low grade typeof cows, mostly mixed breeds, with low producing qualities werenot conducive to good dairy practices. Herds producing an aver-age of one gallon of milk per day per cow and an average of100 to 150 Ibs. of buiierfai per year were not uncommon.

In addition to this low production, many herds were heav-ily Infected with tuberculosis and other diseases. Tuberculosiseradication was first attempted—consequently our herds today•re free. Other diseases have virtually been whipped. Texasfever ticks were a "Buga-boo" to every Industrious, energeticcow owner. Northern "Blooded stock" could not be imported—at least if it was, the importer was taking a long chance. Sothere was little incentive on the part of dairymen to attemptany far reaching dairy herd improvement.

Finally, however, through the cooperation of differentgovernment agencies and cattle owners, sufficient headway wasmade in tick eradication to Justify taking a little more chance.Consequently, a few better sires were shipped in and occasion-ally some one would .bring in some females of fair rating.

Now that practically all the Valley Is free of ticks, someof the more interested cattle owners and breeders have decidedit is time to start a real improvement program. To go out andpurchase proven sires to head each of the herds was out of thequestion. First, there are very few sires proven each year thatare capable of or possess the ability to transmit prof liable, pro-duction to their offspring,- In other words, the daughter shouldbe a greater producer than the mother. If she is not, your pro-gram, as well as your anticipated profits, will fall short. Thenthe cost of proven, profitable sires Is not within the reach of•very herd owner, for one must remember that males of thistype cost from a thousand dollars up.

So, these Interested breeders, who themselves have somefair foundation grade animals and some few registered animals,hi: upon the plan of organising a Breeder's Association. By pool-

Ing efforts and money they are able to secure the beat availablesires in the country, and through a method which is not new byany means but only recently put into practice so far as cattle areconcerned, they are able to make the services of one sire accom-plish the same results as ten to thirty sires would through naturalbreeding methods. This is accomplished through artificial insem-ination or what is commonly referred to as artificial breeding.

Setting up the organization with this In view, a committee)was appointed to purchase the best available proven Jersey sir*.After viewing several in different states and investigating theirrecords, the committee composed of R. C. Graham and J. C.Stuesser, purchased Dairylike Lad Rcy of Newton Jersey Farmsin Washington, Indiana. This fine male's daughters have estab-lished some enviable records, one of them having produced 117Ibs. of buiterfat during the past month. Several of his daughter*produced an official test better than seven hundred pounds ofbutterfat in 305 days. This simply goes to show the need for Im-provement in our local herds when we consider that the averageproduction is around 240 Ibs. or less.

Membership in the association, which has been named theCameron County Breeders Association, can be had throughwritten application, and upon action of the board until thequota is reached. The number of cows to be bred during thetwelve months period should be specified. An entrance fee of$1.00 per cow, or minimum of S5.00 whether one or five cows, i*charged. Then each service Is paid for at the rate of $3.00 is itis rendered. A limited number of reservations for outside ownersof cows who may move Into this territory or •who may not havejoined the association will be made at $25.00 per service.

This method of breeding so simplifies things that in real-ity It is much cheaper than natural breeding, even though on*may already own a sire. There is no hauling around of the cow.Just a telephone call, placed before a given time and the techni-cian takes care of the details. Some dispose of their sires andreplace them with a good cow, making a nice net profit overand above feed costs.
