plorer of the foreign seed and plant
introduction bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture
who will head the Brazilian expedi-
tion. arrived in San Antonio this
morning from California to study
conditions in Texas. Mr. Popenoe
will be here for several days before
going on to Florida where he will
nuHse a similar study of climatic and
growing conditions. The expedition
will leave for Brazil in two or three
months time and the investigators
may be there for six months or a
year.
"We are going to Bahia on the
east coast of Brazil and work out
from there” said Mr. Popenoe in
explaining his mission in San Anto-
nio at the Chamber of Commerce
this morning. "Back of Bahia there
is an immense plateau with an alti-
tude of about 2000 feet and our re-
ports on it indicate that there are
numerous fibrous and fruit plants
successfully grown on it which could
be as successfully produced in the
high and dry sections of the United
States. Texas is particularly well
adapted for these and I am making
an investigation of this country.”
Mr. Popenoe’s attention was di-
rected by John B. Carrington gen-
eral secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce to a report which Mr.
Carrington received from a former
Texan now a resident of Brazil on
the plant from which the fiber used
in the manufacture of Panama hats
is secured. This report indicated that
this plant can be successfully grown
in sections of Texas.

ROADS SCHOOL
FOR OFFICERS
OF CDONTIES
Practical Instruction Will Be
Offered to Judges at the
Corpus Christi Congress.
EXPERTS WILL LECTURE
Highway Building Under All
Conditions to Be Discussed
by Experienced Men.
A school of practical road instruc-
tion for the benefit of the hundreds
of county judges and county com-
missioners who are expected to be
in Corpus Christi this week for the
Texas good roads congress will be op-
erated in connection with the gen-
eral meeting. A comprehensive pro-
gram for this feature of the congress
has been prepared which extends
over July 10 11 and 12. the dates
of the gathering. At the several ses-
sions experts will enter into de-
tailed discussion of the various
phases of road construction work.
The idea of a school of practical
instruction was formulated and the
program has been arranged with the
end in view of imparting detailed
knowledge to the men who are di-
rectly responsible for the condition
of roads in the various eounties of
the state. Invitations to attend the
congress have been extended to
every county judge and the members
of every commissioners’ court in the
state and a large number of ac-
ceptances have been received to
date.
Expert* Will I lecture.
Robert J. Potts professor of en-
gineering and road building at the
agricultural and mechanical col-
lege. will have general charge of the
school of instruction and has ar-
ranged a program of addresses by
men qualified to speak on the sub-
jects to which they’ have been as-
signed. It is reasoned that the facts
and figures presented and the dem-
onstration work pt formed will re-
sult in officials being better fitted to
cope with their road problems and
interest stimulated for better high-
ways in all parts of Texas.
The program has been so arrang-
ed that it will not Interfere with the
general sessions. The latter will be
held in the day time while the
school of instruction will meet in
the late afternoon and at night.
Excursion Rnto* Promised.
From all indications the congress
will be the greatest gathering in the
interests of better roads ever held
in the south. Railroad excursion
rates of one and one-fitth tare have
been made from all parts of the
state and hundreds of persons are
preparing to take advantage of the
excursion. In addition to those mak-
ing the trip by train good road
boosters will come from every part
of the state in automobiles. J. \\
Warren president of the Texas
Good Roads' Association said yes-
terday that he anticipated a record-
breaking attendance. San Antonio
will be represented by a large dele-
gation. some traveling in automo-
biles and others by train.

Obstinate Acne
Quickly Yields
Fine Remedy that Clears
Skin of Pimples on Cheeks
Temples Sides of Nose
and Chin.
Acne attacks* the glandular struc-
ture of the skin more particularly
those tiny glands that secrete fat.
And It Is here that S. S. S.. the
famous blood purifier. Is most active
in Its Influence.
There is one ingredient In S. S S..
the purpose of which Is to so stimu-
late the cells in the tissues that they
select from the blood the nutriment
that makes new skin and thus elim-
inates all Irritants acids and para-
sites that Inflame the glands. There
is a natural tendency of the fine net-
work of blood vessels in the skin to
throw oft impurities but where a
persistent inflammatory process has
invaded the skin the natural repair
work of the blood is interfered with.
It requires the stimulating activity
of S. S. S. to overcome such morbid
conditions. If you have been troubled
with acne do not despair of a cure.
You can get S. S. S. in any drug
store but insist upon having it. The
great Swift Laboratory In Atlanta.
Ga. prepares this famous blood puri-
fier. and you should take no chance
by permitting anyone to recommend
a substitute And If your blood con-
dition is such that you would like to
consult a specialist freely address the

those long-stending ailments the
Plant Juice’ has toned me up and
made me feel strong and fine.”

immediate trial by anyone who suf- I

! Brown "the city officials had a lit-
tle dinner which I attended and each
one sought to tell me some advan-
tage which that city possesses. One
I claimed it had more paved streets
I than any other city in the state and
{another told about the fertility of
the soil in that section. I told them
las I tell you now. that San Antonio
i has more natural advantages than
'any other city in the state and we
are situated In a section undeveloped
at present it is true but which is
building up rapidly and when It
comes into its own will make San
Antonio one of the great cities of the
j south.
"Within five years the changes
I which will come to this section of
the state will seem marvelous. In
'this development San Antonio must
take a leading part. We have con-
Ifldence in the future of our city and
must show it by our votes in the elec-
ion on July 18. This will determine
I whether the city Is to stand still or
go forward. I believe the proposition
will win and that San Antonio will
still be the metropolis of Texas when
'the census of 1820 is taken.”
During the afternoon and even-
I ing there was dancing and a number
of athletic events.

GRAND CANYON Aris. July 7.—
"It has been al! day like a beautiful
fantasy. It is hard to believe the
wonderful handiwork of the Al-
mighty is real. Some day I am com-
ing back. I want to go out to the rim
