~T COLLEGEPORT DAY
MAY25TH, 1926
Mother’s Day services were held all
over the city yesterday, in loving
thoughts of the mother in the home
with us, or in memory of the one who
has been called to her other home,
“over there.” These services reach
everybody, for no one but loves the
thought of mother. The services
varied with programs suitable for the
immediate occasion, either in Sunday
School, or young people’s meetings or
in the regular church services. No
more beautiful day can be thought of,
than the one to honor her who has
meant all the world to each of us,
and in whose memory we wear the
flower on the Memorial Day. Let us
never forget this little service, but
look forward to it, to show either our
love for her while we have our moth-
ers with us, or to revere her memory
after she is gone.

also sets forth the
assessments levied against abutting
properties and carries an emergency
clause to make it effective within 20
days.
By the time this is finished there
is no doubt but that a taste for more
paving will have developed and more
of it will follow, perhaps several
• blocks of it on other streets leading
into the square. In the end, this per-
manent work will be the cheapest, for
the very good reason that every block
so treated will be released as a lia-
bility against the street funds and
will permit more and better work to
be done in other parts of the town.
Not only that, but it will increase
property values and stabilize them as
well as give the city a better stand-
ing in the opinion of outsiders and
other places. It will prove a big as-
set in the long run.
By the time the ordinance becomes
effective Thomas & Steagall will
have the square finished and can go
right along with the new work.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 12. — The
United States government has author-
ized an expenditure of approximately
$99,000 for construction at the Texas
national guard at Camp Palacios, and
three bids were received at national
guard headquarters here Monday. The
bids will be forwarded to Washing-

Protracted Meeting
COLLEGEPORT, Texas, May 8.—
The third of the series of dancing
parties under the patronage of Mes-
dames Boeker and Sims was held
Thursday night at the Boeker home.
About 75 were present and all had a
pleasant and enjoyable time. Fath-
ers and mothers were present in
goodly numbers and their presence
added to the fine character of the en-
tertainment. Music was furnished by
Kimball’s Melody One.
These parties will be held at fre-
quent intervals and will be a feature
of the Collegeport Day celebration.

Mr. J. R. (Dad) Owens died this
morning at the Loos Hospital follow-
ing an operation which was perform-
ed a few days ago, the only hope left
by which his life might be saved.
Dad had been ill for some time and
would not go to the operating table
until his trouble had reached its last
stages. The doctor from the very first
gave out little hope for him.
Mr. Owens and his invalid wife have
lived in Bay City for two or three
years, coming here from North Texas.
He worked at odd jobs and cared for
his wife with tender care and devo-
tion. Unique in character and a ready
conversationalist, he made many
'friends and acquaintances and, per-
haps, never met a stranger.
Inasmuch as he was mainstay and
provider for his helpless wife, who is
left dependent, his death carries with
it unusual sadness.
Not much is known of Mr. Owens’
life, but The Tribune has been in-
formed that he leaves four children
by a former marriage.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
at 4 o’clock. The service to be con-

The City of Houston is preparing
for the attendance of 10,000 Baptists
from all the Southern States at the
Southern Baptist Convention.
The convention officially opens at
9 a. m. Wednesday and runs through
Sunday, but various groups connected
with the convention begin their con-
ferences Monday morning. In a gen-
eral sense, the entire week will be
devoted to the affairs of the South-
ern Baptists.
The attendance estimate is based
upon previous conventions and espe-
cially the one at Memphis, Tenn., last
year, when the attendance was slight-
ly over 10,000. In the event roads
leading into Houston are in suffi-
ciently good shape during the coming
week, local leaders say, the attend-
ance may be swelled to a considerably
larger total than now expected.
Arrangements in the way of hous-
ing the delegates, or messengers, as
they are officially termed, have been
under way for several weeks. All
available hotel and boarding house
reservations were spoken for weeks
ago, and hundreds of homes have
been listed as being willing to provide
beds or meals, or both.
The committee in charge, under the
chairmanship of Rev. Dr. D. W.
Lyerle, pastor of the Central Baptist
Church, is making an extra effort to
pledge 500 to 1000 additional homes
willing to accommodate messengers
and visitors. Any family willing to
care for one or more delegates is re-
quested to notify the committee at
Preston 3668. Many delegates would
like to have room and breakfast, if
not other meals, but will not insist
upon it, Doctor Lyerle said. The
messengers expect to pay for their
lodging and meals, he added.
Representatives of the
began reaching Houston

It is said that Rev. Wingate is an in-

As is the custom, yesterday was the
day set apart by the local United
Daughters of the Confederacy to ob-
serve Memorial Day in a service and
also to decorate the graves of the
Confederate dead. The services were
in the Methodist Chnurch, and con-
sisted of music by Mrs. Pierce, Miss
Bass, in solo singing, and a duet by
Mesdames Helmecke and Frick. Bro.
Pugsley gave the devotional, and Dr.
Storey made a touching address on
“Memories,” at the conclusion of
which, all the people went to the cem-
etery and decorated the graves of the
soldier, both Confederate and Union.
Every year there are new gravs for
us to rmember, and very soon all of
the soldiers of ’61 will be in their
long resting places under the sod, but
we hope that the day will never come
when there will he no “U.D.C.” to see
that the grave is decorated. It will
be with no bronze cross, only a wreath
of evergreen, but that is the accepted
design for the annual Memorial. Not
only do we remember the Soldier of
the Southland, but each grave of a
Union soldier is decorated with a
bunch of flowers, in memory of his
service to his country, and for the
sake of his companions who may be
buried far away, and his friends
north of the “Mason and Dixon” line.
This is a service of love and deserves
our best. “Lest we forget.”

To the People of
Matagorda County
(Galveston News)
Since the Florida bubble burst a
number of professional boom makers
have been centering their attentions
on Texas—and particularly the gulf
coast region—for the site of the next
periodic example or artificial devel-
opment and overexpansion.
The gulf coast section doesn’t want
that sort of growth. We know of
many towns and states that have un-
dergone just such an era of mush-
room prosperity, only to fall later
under the staggering blow dealt by an
invariable reaction—the always-to-be-
expected period of deflation. And,
like the champion prize fightei’ who
once has “kissed the floor,” a come-
back is attended by the greatest dif-
ficulties.
The Dallas News thinks that per-
haps if a boom comes to Texas" the
wild and uneconomical scramble that
pretty nearly capsized Florida” will
Says that paper:
There are some reasons to believe
and every reason to hope that no such
folly will be perpetrated. The very
size and diversity of Texas will make
“coming to Texas” a different thing
from the Florida influx. Dallas is
almost as near to Pensacola as it is
to Brownsville. The very expanse of
Texas and the multiplicity of oppor-
tunities here are the best guaranties
against congestion and extravagant
speculation in land “developments.”
Texas wants development. The gulf
coast region is in crying need of far-
seeing entrepeneurs who have avail-
able money and energy to give it a
real start. What we have seen done
in the last two decades is but a poor
sample of its real potentialities.

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 11.—
Contrary to the general impression
held by the public, there is more ker-
osene used in the United States today
than at any time in the history of the
refining business, a local jobber said.
This is due in a great measure to the
enormous demand created by tractors
and other internal combustion
gines using this form of fuel.
The feature of the last week’s mar-
ket was 4153 grade kerosene, which
was hard to locate for prompt ship-
ment at below 10c a gallon and the
refiners refused to quote for later
shipment.
New navy gasoline was pretty well

City Council
Plans More Work
At the last regular meeting of the
City Council, it was decided to add
the efficiency of the
waterworks by laying additional cast
iron mains for a distance of several
blocks.
These mains will be of six fi,nd four-
inch dimensions, the six-inch one to
extend south in the alley lying be-
tween Avenues G and H, from the
square to the St. L. B. & M. tracks
and the four-inch one to go the same
distance south along the alley between
G and F. These new mains will take
the place of the old wooden ones
which are now running along the
streets.
The Council is to be commended in
the work of putting the new mains
along alleyways instead of using the
streets. In the course of time the
wisdom in so doing will be manifest
for various reasons. Not only will
the care of them be facilitated great-
ly, but, as will often be the case, the
surface of the streets will not have to
be moved or disturbed, in the event of
breaks and consequent repairs.
This paper understands it to be a
fact that this new improvement is to
' be a cash transaction and that
funds other than those afforded by the
waterworks department will be nec-
essary for the improvement, a most
gratifying state of affairs.
The present council is doing some
remarkably fine work, all of a per-
manent character, and the members

agement and support of the citizens,
