Jack Deen, salesman for the Pierce
Motor Company has returned from
New York where he attended the an-
nual automobile show which opened
in that city last Saturday.
"There are so many arguments in
favor of the Spicewood project and the
discovery of a real water suppiy there
would be of such material benefit to
the city," says Commissioner Walter
L. Eyres, head of the water and light
department, "that it is well worth the
time and money to make the test. If
we do not get water in sufficient quan-
tity at Spicewood we will not have
wasted our money for wo will at least
have settled once for all the Spicewood
question so that we can turn to an-
other plan for the city’s water sun-
ply.’’
The commissioner explained that the
“other plan" referred to was the erec-
tion of n filtration plant to be situated
below the junction of Rarton Creek
and the Colorado River. This scheme
he stated, would be much more costly
than the Spicewood plan would be if
sufficient water is found at the latter
place but is the only alternative left
to the city as a remedy for present
conditions.

HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. U.—Dollar
memberships, down to nickels, dimes,
pennies, up to five, ten, a hundred,
hundreds and thousands of dollars, but
everybody to have a share in the foun-
dation, is the slogan for the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation campaign to com-
mence January 16. The word comes
from Hamilton Holt, national execu-
tive chairman. It was forwarded by
I. T. Jones of Des Moines, Iowa, in his
visit to Houston last week, and con-
firmed by State Chairman Thomas S.
Taliaferro. The receipt books have
been mailed over the state and Mr.
Taliaferro insists that every donation
will receive a certificate receipt.
Texas is the biggest proposition this
side of the Mississippi to organize,
according to Mr. Jones, who spent the
day in consultation with Mr. Talia-
ferro in Houston. Mr. Jones has been
traveling at an average of twelve
miles an hour day and night, holidays
• included, ever since the 1st of Sep-
' tember, when he accepted the position
I of organiser of the nineteen states in-
. eluded in the Western division.

I with Texas except California, and it is
divided into northern and southern
divisions, with a chairman for each

passenger agent of the Southern Pac-
ific lines and J. H. Walsh, tperin-

will go as far as west „u.lano before
returning to Austin. \
Goernor Neff has issued a proclama-
tion declaring a non-cotton zone in
certain areas of Texas in which the
growing of cutton will be prohibited
until such time as the pink boll worm
commission shall deride otherwise
This proclamation was issued as a
result of a recommendation /made by
the commission, which met here yes-
terday afternoon.
The areas affected are: in Ellis
county, near Ennis; a small area in
the northern portion of Collin county
and the southern portion’ of Grayson
county, near Gunther, and a small
area in Iberty county. T ho procla-
mation also prohibits the growing of
cotton in an area surrounding these
three areas except under regulations
provided by the department of agri-
culture.
The members of the commission at-
tending the meeting here were: Lea
Beatty, Lockhart; Frank McKnight,
Arlington; Dr. W. D. Hunter of the
feedral horticultural board, Houston;
R. E. McDonald, entomologist of the
department of agriculture; Dr. R. I.
Clayton, Celina; W. D. Farris, Enn la,
and C. W. Fisher. Liberty. The mem-
bers of the commission are confident
tht their plan will soon eradicate the
pink boll worm pest in Texas.

division," he said. Mr. Jones was
much pleased and surprised at the
organization of Texas, which almost
two weeks after the campaign opens
is organized in all but seven of its
thirty-one senatorial districts.
‘ I am working on the theory," said
Mr. Jones, "that at least a million
people on this side of the Mississippi
want to contribute toward paying a
compliment to Woodrow Wilson and
toward the gerater purpose of devising
a method whereby future genius of
America will be stimulated to give
their best efforts to the public, and
it is my work to effect an organiza-
tion to give them the opportunity.
The awards from the foundation will
be substantial financially, although
the exact amount has yet to be deter-
mined by the foundation success."
Texas will have to fight for first
place in completed quota with Okla-
homa. Oregon, Colorado and Minnesota
after the opening of the campaign on
the 16th. These states are already
organized down to the last man and
pledges for the quota already made.
The chairman of Minnesota refused
to accept his quota of 125,000 for the
state and arbitrarily announced $50,-
000. which has already been sub-
scribed, according to Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones was national campaign
manager for the League to Enforce
Peace from 1918 until the Senate re-
fused to ratify the treaty in Novem-
ber of 1919. From then on he was
political secretary to James W. Ge-
rard, ambassador to Germany, until he
accepted the position of Western state
organizer on September 1.
The states through which Mr. Jones
has traveled and with which Texas is
grouped are Minnesota lows. Mis-
souri. Oklahoma. Nebrska, Kansas,
North Dakota. South Dakota, Montana,
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon. California, Ne-
vada and Arizona. The combined
quota of these states is between six
and seven hundred thousand.

Water in the Spicewood Spring test
| well registers 86 degrees, Fahrenheit,
a certain indication that it comes from
; a deep source uncovered when the
t stratum of fine sand was penetrated
• at the 974 foot depth. Dr. F. L, Whitney.
, geologist of the University of Texas,
' announced Thursday morning. He
. added that the water contains no salt
I or sulphur and has an agreeable taste,
indicative of its purity. He has in-'
structed Driller J. p. Wallace, who is
। boring the well, to keep a sharp out-
look or indications of salt or sulphur.
! he stated.
Dr. Whitney announced also that al
though there had been no increase in
the amount of water there had been ,
no diminuition of the pleasure, the
water being able to maintain its level
at the 60-foot depth. Prior to the
penetration last Friday of the new
water-bearing saad, the water had
been standing below the 100-foot level
That the pressure should increase as
the drill added to the depth of pene-
tration into the water-bearing sand
stratum, was the geologist's statement. 1
An increase in flow, he said, would
depend entirely on the character of
sand found further down in -the
stratum.
If we come upon coarser sand '
where there is less friction encounter- j
ed by the water we should obtain a i
greater supply,’’ the geologist explained '
and may possible obtain a surface
flow."
.Dr. Whitney expressed the opinion ।
the plan of pumping water from the !
We 11 under present conditions would be
feasible and would mean a saving to
the city in keeping the water mains
tilled. He explained that to obtain the I
necessary flow to supply the city's
wants it would be imperative to sink a i
battery of wells from which sufficient i
water could be pumped.
"Even under those conditions," he’
stated, "it would mean a saving to the
city. At present the city has to pump t
against over 300 pounds pressure, while .
at Spicewood, should pumping even iI
reduce the level of the water a him-'
dred feet, it would still mean a great
saving."
In response to a question as to his
opinion in regard to the permanent
nature of the flow uncovered at Spice-,
wood Springs, Dr. Whitney stated that
experience in other wells supplied from
the Travis Peak formation in the Trini-
ty reservoir hud been favorable to th** i
prediction that the flow would be per-
ma he nt.
That satisfactory tests to assure the!
sufficiency of the supply to meet the i
city s needs must be made before the
big expenditures entailed in the erec-
tion of pumps at Spicewood and the
laying of pipes to the city reservoir
can be justified, was his further as-
sertion. • .
Boring of the city’s test well was
begun last September after the Spice,
wood project had been discussed for
several years. Prior to the actual an-
nouncement that the test well would !
be sunk, city officials had for several ■
months been considering the project
which was being pushed by local eng-
