Acres Of Diamonds
In Texas
The noted lecturer Russell H.
Conwell told the story of a suc-
cessful farmer by the name of
Ali Hafed, who lived near the
river Indus, in ancient Persia. He
was contented, happy and pros-
perous until he was told by a
Buddhist priest, a wise man of
the east, of the formation of min-
erals, and finally of the diamond,
describing it as a “congealed
drop of sunlight.” Said the
priest: “For a diamond the size
of your thumb you can purchase
an entire county, a diamond mine
would place all your children on
thrones.” Ali Ilafed awoke the
next morning discontented—noth-
ing but a diamond mine would
satisfy him. Selling his farm
leaving his wife, and children with
friends, he began his hunt for a
diamond mine. Starting at the
mountain of the Moon, he wander-
ed about until he reached Pale-
stine after a tiresome search he
reached Europe, and eventually
arrived at the shore of the Bay of
Barcelona. By this time he was
a perfect type of wretchedness, in
rags and poverty. Looking at the
great waves *. that dashed between
the Pillars of Hercules, he cast
himself into the sea, ending his
life.
Shortly after Ali Hafed had
departed on his search for a dia-
mond mine, the man to whom he
had sold the farm, leading a
camel into the garden to drink,
saw shining from the water a
stone of great brilliance. He took

the Stone to the house, and when

this stone was the beginning of

of the rarest sort.
We have acres of diamonds
right here in Texas—they are all
about us—if we are to find these
riches we must begin at home—in
our own community. Take for in-
stance the matter supporting
the industries of Texas and those
of every community within the
state—do we give preference in
our purchases to Te^as Made Pro-
-daete?- -Whe^-are we the citizens
of Texas doing to help keep the
150,000 workers in our indh^tries
employed? The manufacturers of
Texas do not desire to build a
fence about the state in order to
keep out products from other sec-
tions—this would be foolish—for
we need the products from other
sections—they need ours—how-
ever if we expect the industries
of every community in Texas to
grow and expand—we as citizens
of this grand old state must do
our part by giving preference in
our contracts and purchases to
Texas Made Products. We have
no fight to make upon the manu-
facturers and business houses lo-
I shall stand loyally behind my
local community, champion every

shall work with my fellows for the

that whatever benefits my fellows
must benefit me. - Because I love
my own community and section
supremely, I shall prove my
loyalty and devotion to them by
standing behind all Texas, champ-
ioning her every need, loving her
ideals, and singing her praises at
all times. I shall work with my
fellow Texans for the common good
of Texas, and shall remember that
whatever benefits all Texas must
benefit my section. I shall be

FISHING ON DEVIL’S RIVER:
Austin Callan. the well-known j
newspaper writer, relates a fishing j
experience with some friends on
Devil’s River, in Southwest Texas,
in an article which will appear in
The Enterprise, May 4th. Whether
you like to angle for fish or not,
you will enjoy this article, written
by Callan, which is half-humorous,
half serious, and altogether enter-
taining. Keep the date in your
mind—May 4th, and pass the ar-
ticle on to your friend, and if he
is not a subscriber to the Enter-
prise tell him to get busy and sub-
scribe now. Some folks miss a lot
of fun and interesting information
when they fail to read each issue
of the Enterprise.

good people of Texas that the
manufacturers, jobbers, merchants
the and business men of Texas are
making it possible for the state to
grow—for they support our state

hundreds of calls made upon them
for worthy causes—and the money
we spend with them stays here
in circulation—in our own com-
munity and state.

Texas needs capital for a great-

Capital should be encouraged in
the making of investments in Tex-

virtues of all other sections, and
shall dignify their ideals by digni-

the truth of Texas and shall care-

all Texas, and dignity her by

Cotton Mills In Texas
Our monthly Magazine Section

will -have, something worth while on
cotton mills in Texas, written by a
person who made a close study of
the mills now operating and mills
that might yet be erected. Read
this article in the Enterprise issue
of May 4th, and reflect on its econ-
omic value to Texas. Our state
raises enough cotton annually to
supply practically one-half of the
cotton mills of America.

watchman who has charge of them.
At intervals each night they are
led through the darkened galleries.
All employes have been cautioned
against remaining in the building
after hours because of the danger
of attac by the powerful canies.
But for the intervention of the

in the evening would have been
