Members of the Austin Retail Merchants Association, Thursday
night, voted unanimously in favor of the good roads bond issue of
$1,500,000 in their regular meeting Thursday night at the Chamber
Of Commerce. The meeting eliminated all trade and business dis-
cussions and devoted its entire attention to the coming good roads
election.
The merchants and others who spoke were outspoken in their con-
fidence in the Travis county commissioners’ court that the money
from the bond issue will be wisely expended on good roads and
rigidly accounted for and that the entire proposition was the fairest
that had ever been offered the citizens of Austin and Travis county
from a business standpoint.

WEST BADEN, Ind., Oct. 19. -A
formal resolution pledging President
Coolidge the "fullest co-operation” in
the enforcement of prohibition was
adopted by the fifteenth annual gov-
ernors’ .conference here today after a
stormy debate. Adoption of the mo-
tion was accompanied by a tumult of
shouting and stamping during which
Governor John M. Parker of Louisiana
left the meeting.
The resolution was placed before the ;
conference by Governor Wiliam E.
Sweet of Colorado with a demand for
a record roll call. Its adoption, how-
ever, was by a viva voce vote.

"The merchants of Austin would
feel the effects of impassable roads
more in their business than the com-
plete failure of a season’s cotton crop.
This may not sound plausible but it
would nevertheless hold true. Good
roads would double business in Aus-
tin in a comparatively short time. Only
several days ago while attending the
Ba strop Fair the people of Bastrop
told me that they preferred to come
to Austin to trade but are being forced
to take the train to Houston for that
purpose due to the impassable condi-
tion of the roads leading. Into Austin.
Luedecke Urges Action.
The first speaker that Mr. Johnson
called was W. G. Luedecke, president
of the bank at Manor, and general
chairman of the good roads campaign
in Travis county.
At the very outset of his discussion
Mr. Luedecke declared that he favored
the present bond issue because it con-
Ducks and geese are headed in vast
numbers for the Texas coast, and they
are unusually tame, apparently having
never been shot at, according to W. W.
Boyd, state game, fish and oyster com-
missioner, who has just returned from
Port Lavca. He was accompanied by
H. W. Wella, chief deputy. The indi-
cations are ducks and geese will be
more plentiful this season than for
many years, in the opinion of th© com-
missioner.
"Oysters are better than ever at this
time of the year,'' said Commissioner
Boyd,’ "but the shortage of labor has
made It impossible for dealers to sup-
ply th© demand, and a shortage over
the state has resulted. Labor is said
to have gone to the cotton fields.

TOPEKA, Kan., Oct 19—The
American woman is rapidly be-

gam, biologist and publicist of
New York, declared in an address
prepared for delivery here today
before a group of Kansas teach-
ers.
"Our beautiful women soon will
cease to xist except in pictures
and statutory,” Mr. Wiggam as-
sorted. He based his conclusions
on the disparity between the birth
rate among the American women
of the highest type and that among
“low class immigrants.”
“There is only one way out,”
he said. “The old family ideals
must be restored. The old Ameri-
can homestead with its good sized
family of well born children must
be rebuilt. The mother must re-
place the flapper as the national
ideal. Motherhood must again
become fashionable among our up-
per classes as it was two generations
ago. Sound education along lines of
race improvement is our only sal-
vation. Otherwise American his-
tory soon will be written only in
its ruins."
