At certain times Pond would ex-

The tax collector’s office received
61 boxes of automobile licenses for
Matagorda County one day this week.
Each box contained 75 tags, making
a total of 4575 autos in Matagorda
County. Suppose the average value
of the cars is $500, the total would
be $2,287,500 invested in automobiles

our efforts to serve them in all de-

manifested by the many compliments
received from individual patrons
since the arrival of our new machine.
The accompanying illustration will
give our readers some idea of the
marvelous mechanism of the linotype,
a composing machine on which are
assembled matrices (or little brass
molds )and lines of type cast—lines
such as you are now reading. The
particular model of machine which
we have just installed carries at one
time four sets of matrices—controlled
from a standard keyboard of 90 keys
and an auxiliary keyboard of 28—and
gives the operator instant command
of 568 different characters.

Numerous visitors have called since

as they watch the delicate and intri-
cate workings of the machine as the
type fall into place by the delicate
touch of the operator’s finger they are
astounded to realize that the human
mind has been able to assemble such
human effects in one machine, and as
the little motor purrs in its work of

parts to work in clock-like precision,
and more accurately, they express
their admiration and surprise over and

Backed by men who represent
great wealth and achievement, a move
to speed up the development of Tex-
as resources was given tangible form
at a meeting of the Society for the
Scientific Development of Texas Nat-
ural Resources at the Adolphus
Hotel, Dallas, Tuesday night.
Following an enthusiastic meeting,
at which Clarence E. Gilmore, chair-
man of the Texas Railroad Commis-
sion, was the principal speaker, John
M. Spellman of Dallas, president of
the society, named a committee to
draft plans for a financial program
that will insure the success of the
undertaking.
The committee is composed of Na-
than Adams, John E. Owens, Frank
P. Holland Jr., Dr. E. H. Cary, C. N.
■Whitehead, William A. Diffey, Louis
Lipsitz and F. N. Drane of Corsicana.
Gilmore Lands Texas.
The Empire of Texas, with its vast
resources, was unfolded in the Nation
Ly Mr. Gilmore, who flung a chal-
lenge to the rest of the United States
to match Texas in agriculture, min-
-eral production and progress in in-
dustries that mean prosperity and
happiness for the people.
The meeting, which was attended
Ijy some fifty representative business
and professional men, sounded a call
to the entire State to get back of
Texas and forge it to the forefront
In all lines of commerce and industry.
In connection with his recount of
the vast resources of the State Mr.
Gilmore predicted that railroads of
Texas would begin electrification of
their lines within ten years. He based
his forecast on the fact that electric
power in Texas is being developed at
the source—the lignite fields—and
that most of the big railroads pass
through huge deposits of lignite. I

of Dallas, who stressed the import-
ance of united effort in bringing

individual deposits in Texas banks in
1904 totaled $84,000,000, whereas to-
day deposits amount to more than
§700,000,000.
“If we are to tell the world of
Texas’ natural resources we must tell
the truth, and we must start on a
sound foundation,” Mr. Adams said.

of the game.
The first touchdown came
second quarter- when by a series of
end runs and off tackle plays
visitors carried the ball over
three attempts at seven yards,
try for extra point by place kick was
blocked. The tying score came in the
same quarter after the El Campo
team had a punt blocked. The fleety
end, Steeves, scooped up the wet ball
and ran fifteen yards for a touch-
down. The extra point, tried by
White, by a drop kick, skimmed along
the ground.
The aerial attack used by Bay City
would have undoubtedly been a dan-
gerous weapon had not the ball been
too slippery. Time and again the
ball was passed to an eligible receiv-
er in a clear field only to have the
ball slide through his arms. The
weighty El Campo team gained
through the lighter Bay City line but
when in danger the line would tight-
en and the visitors would be forced
to punt. The outweighed Bay City
team did remarkably well to hold the
heavy opposing team and repeatedly
when on the offensive ripped off large
gains through line and around end.
The Bay City team has been handi-
capped this season by wet fields and
in no contest have the boys come
and any where near weighing as much as
the opposing team. Coach Key with
his light, fleety team has trained them
to use the end run and aerial attack
to perfection and in no contest have
they had a chance. Before the sea-
son ends we would like to see the
team play one game on a dry field
and we promise a team of excep-
tional ability both on the defense and
certainly on the offense.

your feed bills -would be if you were

It’s a pity that folks who used to
wonder what the chicken industry
was coming to, couldn’t have lived to
see it.
Turkey has applied for membership
in the League of Nations. This does
not mean, however, that we won’t have
turkey for Thanksgiving.
It’s got so now-a-days that a radi-
cal is one who may be described as
being satisfied with reasonable egg
production. The most remarkable
thing Iknow about chickens we can
eat them before they are hatched and
after they are dead.
Some breeders are like sausages—
very smooth upon the skin, but when
they show, it’s hard to guess.
How much hog there is within. Now
is the time to lay in your stock of
thermometers as it is reported they
will go up 103 points at the begin-
ning of the hatching season.
What this county needs is dropping
board scrapers equipped with self
starters.
A lot of people need sympathy; the
whole world is crying out for it, but
the guy who gets mine is the one that
has nothing but 300-egg hens this
muddy weather.
A news dispatch says they have just
dug up some more Dinosaur eggs in
the Gobi Desert. If they keep on
they’ll soon have enough for a setting.

Most men say they intend to do a
lot of things they never intend to do.
The impression has gotten about
that the finance committee of the P.-

coupe and chest of linen to return
them to the P.-T. A. We wish to cor- 1
rect this misunderstanding. The com- friend moved out to make room for

return of the Ford coupe or chest of 1 story were told, the entire force, from
editor to pressman, watched its de-
parture with more sentiment in the
feelings back of the look than any of
us would “own up to,” for, in all
truth it was more like the going
away of some steadfast friend than
of a machine started on its way back
’to its maker.
No single machine in Texas has
ever been called upon for more type
or more classes of work than our old
Model 5, and, surely, not one ever per-
formed what it had to do more faith-

moment, and at less expense.
