ies marked the ordination at Notre
Dame of Prof. John A. Staunton, 71,

ordained last week and is permitted
to read a special Mass for the par-
tially blind.
Holy Orders were conferred by the
Most Reverend John F. Noll, Bi-

Redaction Plan That Does Not Redace
Santa Clara, Calif. — The religi-
«us fervor and the feats of strength
performed by the giant Secundino
Robles, father of 23 children, who
for 65 years was a leading figure
in the Columbus day festival at San-
to Clara mission, were recalled by
tbe discovery of a book printed in
1831 as plans were being made for
the festival this year. For years
the six-foot-six, 320-pound giant
walked at the head of the proces-
sion, carrying on his shoulders a tre
rnendous cross that always before
had been carried by a man on horse-
back because of its great weight.
The great old man, whose reality
has never been denied, became a fa-
mous legend in the West. At his
death when he was 94 he left a to-
tal of 273 descendants.

Yoakum High Defeats Schulenburg.
The nuw Yoakum football stadium
was fittingly dedicated Friday night
before a crowd of about two thous-
and rabid football fans from Yoakum
and surrounding territories. The
field recently built is one of the
most modem high school football
fields in the State. It is well light-
ed — and has a fine soft turf. —
Two stands, each accomodating about
600 people — give the fans a per-
fect view of every play.
The game was a thriller through-
out with Schulenburg holding the
advantage during the first quarter.
—The playing of Smrkovsky, Schu
lenburg light back was outstanding,
time and again — he made several
long runs on sweeping end plays.
Yoakum scored in the second quarter
— on a beautiful pass — from Tuck
er to Stevens — Bellville kicked for
the extra point — with but a few
minutes to pla'y Kerlick on off tack-
le play — ran through the Schulen-
burg team for 60 yards for six more
points. — Rees former Hallettsville
boy now playing for Yoakum was a
tower of strength on the defense —
figuring tn all plays.
Texas Historical Sketches
• By —Sk.—
f
If the Secretary of Agriculture actually wished to create
riiaus, dissatisfaction and even revolt among farmers; to give
an example of a reduction plan that does not reduce anyone; to
demonstrate how tlie plan should not operate — he could not
have succeeded better than he did in this year's plan.
He gave us a tax measure and not cotton reduction.
Here is a farmer with four bales of cotton but can sell
none because previously no cotton was raised on his land and
he has to wait weeks for special allotment.
And here is a farmer who reduced his cotton to 15 acres
but on the basis of his previous crops he received tickets for
32 bales.
Another farmer gives honest average of 204 lbs. and is
reduced to 107.
Large planter receives his tickets directly while tire small
farmers are waiting
The cotton in the Valley has been picked a month ago but
up to a few days ago small farmers were still waiting for their
tickets. That does not mean that the large planters did not
have them.
To be crooked in this plan paid'better than to be other-
wise.
An army of men was added to the government pay roll
under this Act to regulate the farmers in every step.
In some counties, the committeemen received more fa
corable allotments than the rest of the farmers.
But — do not blame the cotton law.
Three plans were written into that law by Congress for
the Secretary of Agriculture to choose from.
He has chosen the least advantageous to the small far-
mer — the plan which completely disregarded your previous
reduction and treats the diversified farmer the same as the big
planner who never reduced a foot of his cotton acreage.
While the plan came too late to interfere with cotton
planting, the tax did not stop anyone from selling all
the cotton he has.
It imposed the tax on cotton of the poorest farmer if
above his allotment but this reduction plan never reduced any-
body in any manner except in money.
You got a batter price — due to voluntary contracts and
drought but not due to this cotton reduction plan.
If the conditions are better among you, this plan did not
create them. ■ *’*'■ » —
Who wanted this wonderful cotton reduction plan?
The big planters fought first the Bankhead law proper,
then compromised on the best plan for them — the present re-
duction.
And as you 3ee, they have no regret to make. When
our small farmer has to part with 20 dollars per bale on his
.-mall crop, it is a hard blow for him. But the big planter
could sell his thousand bales at approximately $80 each, or
.',80,000. The tickets on 350 bales, subject to tax, at $20 each
would be $7000, or net for thousand bales $73,000, seed and all.
Who helped the big boy to this price?
He certainly did not sacrifice anything.
All commercial cotton farming will be strictly against
the reduction based on cultivated acreage. They will rather
see the law repealed than the other plan put in force.
You small farmers are in majority. I can see no rea-
son why you should recede from your principle of diversified
farming. You do not produce the surplus!
Outside of drought, only the voluntary contracts re-
duced the crop. You received 4 cents a pound for the
cotton reduced, the others received approximately 8
cents per pound for not reducing.
To reduce, the law must have the teeth — a penalty
sufficiently high. But higher penalty under the present plan
would create even more unjust hardship for you, the small far
mers, than it already did.
Your present basis — the lintage — is false thruout
either higher or lower than it should be, depending on whether
correct or false figures were given on the past crops.
The plan needs new basis. It is of vital importance
for the very idea of government crop control that the present
evils and injustices are stopped. Unless the plan is equitable
and fair to the majority of the farmers, the very idea of gov-
ernment control must fail.
They will come to you and perhaps tell you about the
wonderful accomplishments of this plan and promise you that
next year reduction will be smaller. But that will not make
the bad plan better.
They will still tax even the poorest farmer should he pro-
duce a few pounds in excess. But no one will be reduced.
The plan will still be a mere tax measure, and not the
cotton reduction. The plan never reduced anybody, and nev-
er will-
The conference in Washington Saturday decided not to
suspend the Bankhead Act now, as it should not be. Very
little can be done this year about the conditions the present
cotton tax plan is responsible for.
There will be meetings held thruout your counties re-
garding the Bankhead law.
It is up to you, small farmers, to take your stand now
for congress to act on when it will meet next January.
Here is the Tribune’s program:
No plan which is a mere cotton tax law.
Less regulations, less government hired men and absurd
injustice. , . .
Let the government simply tell you, farmers, how much
cotton you can plant to maintain a fair price — penalize the
excess cotton acreage and then leave you- farmers, alone.
Captain Domingo Ramon with some soldiers, severe! young men,
seven married men with their families and six Franciscan priests went
northeast, influenced by Saint Denis, to make a permanent settlement
in east Texas. They carried with them farming and woodcraft im-
plements and a large herd of cattle and goats. Presents were given
to the Indians who received the settlers kindly.
In the summer, 1716, work began and with the help of the Indians,
there were by the close of the year four missions built in a radius of
25 miles around und colonists were stationed in each and soon they felt
at home. A hundred Indians were baptized inside of a year. Yet
the viceroy felt uneasy with a weak colony in the midst of so many
Indians and the French watching them.
To strengthen their situation Martin de Alarcon was sent to rein-
force these settlements by one nearer the Mexican border and to ans-
wer F'ather Bon. Olivare’s prayer to let him build another mission. The
mission San Francisco Solano, first established on the Rio Grande was
finally moved to the San Antonio ri ver in 1718 and named San Antonio
de Valero. A fort was built just across the river and named San
Antonio de Bexar. This was the nucleus of the present city San An-
tonio in Bexar County. It was made the capital of this province of
Mexico. It was the stronghold at which the early inhabitants sought
refuge in times of danger and from there settlers were sent out to
other parts of the province. The work of settling Texas by the
mission method became more intense and some 25 missions and presi-
dios were established during the whole era (1990-1791). Experiences
and sacrifices of the Franciscan Fathers during these activities would
fill many volumes and could show their “lion’s share” in the early
civilization and settlement of Texas. Traces of their ingenuity, prac-
ticability and santity can be seen to this day in the old mission build-
ings scattered over Texas. Some of these are: The Alamo (the San
Antonio de Valero, moved to the present site in 1744 under the sycam-
ores or alamos); Concepcion, the best preserved of the missions, moved
to the present site in 1731; San Jose founded by Father Margil in
1720; San Francisco de la Espada 9 miles south of San Antonio; San
Saba built for the Apache Indians in 1757 (present town Menard); Our
Lady of Guadalupe at Victoria in 1714; Orquizacas on the San Jacinto
river in 1717; Dolores near San Augustine in 1716; Nacodoches in 1715;
Espiritu Santo at La Bahia or Goliad in 1713; Our Lady of Refuge,
present Refugio in 1791, the last one built Three years later all these
Missions were put in charge of secular priests. During that ere 10,000
Indians were christianized by the Franciscan Fathers, but at its close
♦here were no more than 2,000 European settlers in Texas, which show-
ed that Spain did not have the true colonizing skill and power.

Religious Christmas
Cards
—o—
It does not seem so early to call
attention to the constant exhorta-
tion of so many Catholic priests
and zealous laity to use religious
Christmas cards at that season
the year which commemorates tho
birth of our Divine Savior. After
all, Christmas means Christ’s Mass
and greeting cards are sent out at
that time to show our joy in the
Savior who is to come and to mani-
fest our Christmas charity toward
one another as He commanded us to
love one another. For this reason,
the vapid and sometimes even silly
cards which are sent about with
plum puddings and fat loafs, re-
presenting the physical good cheer
of the season, are out of place as
messages from one Catholic to an-
other. Religious cards, which are
at the same time full of beauty and
cheer, are a most appropriate wag
of celebrating Christmas. To send
such a card is an act of religion
and brings to him who sends and to
him who receives alike a blessing.
With this in mind, the Catholic
Medical Mission Board has this year
procured a large- number of boxes of
beautiful Christmas cards, most of
them reproductions of the classic
paintings and is disposing of them
for $1.00 per box. This collectioo
of Christmas cards has been pro-
nounced by many of those who have
examined them, to be among the,
most beautiful and appropriate they
have ever seen. Any who wish a
sample and judge for themselves
are invited to write to the Catholic
Medical Mission Board at 8-10 West
17th Street, New York City, enclos-
ing $1.00 and the cards will be
sent post-free. Those who can in-
terest their friends in securing the
cards will be offered a special in-
ducement, so when you write men-
tion that you would like to interest
others and you will receive informa-
tion as to what will be offered as
an acknowledgement of service. Time
passes very rapidly and Christmas
will be here before we realize it
and it would be well to take time
by forelock and begin your nposto-
late for religious Christmas cards.
