To tell you all we know about JIM
BOURLAND’S MEDICATED SALT
BLOCK would require several col-
umns, and even then you would miss
our personal enthusiasm. It is a com-
bination of Salt, Sulphur, Saltpeter.
Copperas and Nux Vomica (can you
beat it?) properly proportioned, con-
verted into Block form by 80,000
pounds pressure and AIR CURED.
It is the only AIR CURED Block, or
Brick, on the market and the only ohe
that WILL NOT CRUMBLE when
it becomes damp. It contains as much
medicine as any 25-cent package of
Stock Food, Powder or Tonic on the
market. You merely lay it in the feed
box and they doctor themselves. The
animals naturally derive more benefit
as they follow the dictates of Nature
as to when and how much to take. To
make a long storv short, we want you
to try it, and if you are not pleased
your money will be refunded without
argument. Come let us show it to
you.

Victoria, Texas, May 4.—Final de-
tails of the program for the Victoria
firemen’s celebration Wednesday were
worked out at a joint meeting of the
various committees held at the city
hall this afternoon. Satisfactory re-
ports from the various committee
chairmen were submitted to Miss
Genevieve Bower, the general chair-
man, and approved by the meeting.
Elaborate entertainments have been
arranged for the entertainment of the
visiting queens and their retinues
from El Campo, Bay City, Refugio,
Goliad, Cuero, Yorktown and other
towns, Texas history, as pertaining
to the six flags under which she has
been governed, will be portrayed in a
magnificent street pageant, consisting
of gorgeous floats and beautiful and
handsomely costumed women amt
their escorts.
The historical division of the parade
was planned and will be conducted by
the Daughters of the Republic of Tex-
as. In this division will appear some
notable persons who were identified
with the earlier periods of the state’s
history, one of these being Mrs. Re-
becka J. Fisher, president of the or-
ganization. Mrs. Fisher, when a very
small child, was captured by Indians
near this city, the savages having
murdered her father and mother. She
was rescued by the rangers and de-
livered into the keeping of I’arsou
Blair and wife at Victoria, and with
them she lived for quite a while.
A letter from Rev. 1’. A. Heckman
of Temple, chaplain of the State’s
Firemen’s Association, states that he
will participate in the festivities.

pageant that is to move through the

its opening from Galveston to Corpus
Christi, prescribing rutas and regula-
tions tor the formation of the vessels
in the line, and electing C. S. E. Hol-
land, president of the Interstate
Waterways League of Texas and Lou-
isiana, as admiral of the fleet, the call-
ed meeting of the executive commit-
tee, having in charge all details of tills
parade and celebration, finished ils
session here today and adjourned.
All members of the committee present
were enthusiastic, and reported that
much interest was being taken in the
coming clebration all along the route
of the canal and that present indica-
tions pointed to one of the biggest
waler pageants ever held in any
country.
The committee met pursuant to tlie
call of C. 8. E. Holland of Victoria,
chairman. With the committee met
many of the commodores that have
been named by the various towns

ent at the meeting were: Chairman

Order of Towns In Purnde.
The following order of towns in the
line was decided on: Boats from

by the boats from towns farthest east
from Galveston, first in line from the
east, followed by the boats from each
town as it is reached.
Fleets from Corpus Christi and
towns farther west will leave Corpus
Christi at 9 o'clock on the morning of
June 9. These boats, with those from
Aransas Pass, Port O’Connor and

o'clock on June 9, proceding up the
bay. The fleet will be joined at Aust-
well, Tivoli, Victoria. Port Lavaca,
Palacios and Seadrift by fleets from
those places. The combined fleet,
with the boats from Matagorda, will
leave Matagorda wharf at 10 o’clock
on the morning of June 10 on the run
up Matagorda bay, the entire fleet
reaching the rendezvous at Freeport
during the night of June 10.
The boats of each fleet will tie
numbered, beginning with No. 1, and
these numbers will designate the pos-
ition of each boat in the line of boats
making up the fleet from any town.

No. 1 of his fleet.
All sponsors, with their chaperons
and maids, will be in Galveston not

son . | I
>*the dangers of the prospective cut In
the rice tariff in a concerted effort to
J get seed Into the ground. Planting
i has been pushed vigorously and is
1 now further advanced than the aver-
lage at this season. Old rice planters
' say that rice planted on the Gulf
1 coast after May 20 takes chances, al-
[ though the season may be right for it
1 to “make” when planted as late as
July 1. With average weather for the
next fortnight the bulk of the crop
[ will be in the ground along the coast
[[by May 20. Arkansas will finish plant-
I'ing a couple of weeks later than the
[' coast country, as it begins later.
The Mississippi river levee has brok-
en near Ferriday and the plantations
of Miron Abbott and Martin Abbott,
the originators of the modern upland
system of rice irrigation, are now sev-
eral feet under water. This break in
the levee is bound to affect the acre-
age on the river this year and it is not
unlikely that rice farmers will cut
their acreage in the future.
Reports from all parts of the rice
belt received by the Southern Rice
[Growers’ Association indicate that the
crop as far as planted is doing fairly
well. The stands are generally up to
the average, although worms and the
1 cold and heavy rains have necessitated
[replanting in many places.
[I There is nothing now' tr say about
[ the rice schedule in the Underwood
1 * bill. Its fate, as far as the House of
H Representatives is concerned, was
[ settled in the Democratic caucus. The
1 50 per cent reduction—the brewers’
and saloon keepers' clause and all—
will go to the Senate. Its fate there
is hardly doubtful. Even the scanda-
lous reduction of the tariff on brew-
er’s rice, which could have been pro-
posed only for the benefit of the down-
trodden brewers and saloon keepers
of the United States, who will be help-
ed at the expense of the farmer, will
not be revised, for the reason that it
is not important enough to interfere
with a caucus program. The rice pro-
ducers have not abandoned hope, but
depot the only chance left seems to rest on
will the slender hope that the Senate will
. be ashamed to adopt the brewer’s rice
item in the rice schedule. Even some
Senators and most of the Representa-
tives from the rice growing States will
vote to oppose it because it affects ad-
versely their constituents. Letters
received by the Southern Rice Grow-
ers* Association from many Southern
Coagraasmen and Senators show that
only a few of the old guard are willing
to take the chance of letting the in-
terests <al rice obstruct the path to
the pie counter.
The tariff outlook, gloomy as it
seems, lias not materially affected the
rice industry in any direction as yet,
and the oiOmists hold that this year’s
business wil! not be touched adversely.
If farmers lad known it a few months
earlier acreage might have been af-
fected a little. The market can not
be affected before next spring, for the
reason that Hie visible supply of rice
In the Orient is short and new crop
rice can not arrive in this country
