The Fourth Annual Goliad
County Fair and Huskin’ Bee
has passed into history and we
can look back upon it now and
say “Well Done.” The making
of the success it was, was work,
hard work for the small number
who undertook to put it through,
but now in their hours of rest
they can feel the satisfaction of
having accomplished something
really worth while and they are
glad—glad of the time and work
they gave to their town and county
and just as willing and enthusi-
astic to take up the task again
for next year, as the Goliad
County Fair and Huskin’ Bee
has come to stay and there are
those who would not let it die.
That it has been the greatest
thing our county has ever known
is not disputed and all through
the year we can all look forward
with pleasant anticipations to the
coming of the fall which brings
us all together for a week of rec-
reation and pleasure in our own
home town. Goliad, as a town,
is yet small, but the Fair and
Huskin Bee is a big thing and is
doing much to make the town

from Washington to Honolulu, does ities
not mean that the telephone wire sys- l coughs.

mediately send us a check or
call and make a settlement. To
send to each one a statement
would cost us much time and
money and should not be nec-
essary. Will you heed our re-
quest? Do it NOW!

President Vail’s Tribute to Inven-
tor of Wireless.
New York.—In tribute to the re-
cent accomplishment of telephone
engineers who have perfected a
method for wireless communica-
tioh by spoken word, and In ex-
planation of the probable uses of
tho wireless telephone, President
T. N. Vali of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, has
Issued the following statement:
"I do not think I can better ex-
press my views in regard to wire
less telephone than to quote the
telegram which I have just sent
to Mr. Carty, chief engineer for
the company, with reference to
what he has brought about. Here
it is:
“ •Carty, I want to congratulate
you on this climax in the way of
achievements, the greatest in in-
ter-communication the world has
ever seen. To you and to the
wonderful staff created by you the
world owes a debt To throw your
voice directly, without aid of wires,
from Washington to Hawaii, nearly
five thousand miles, a greater dis-
tance than from New York to
Paris. Berlin. Vienna er Petrograd,
and greater than between Seattle
and Tokio or Yokohoma, was won-
derful; but to send the recognized
voice, part way over the wires and
part through the air, was still
more wonderful, and was the dem-
onstration of the chiefest use that
will probably attach to the wire-
less as amplifying and supplement-
ing. not subtRtuting the wire sys-
tem and brivg into oommunication
ships, islands and places which
could not otherwise be reached
Your work has brought us one
long step nearer to our ideal—“A
Universal System.”
“As you will see from this", con-
tinued Mr. Vail, "it is clear that
wireless will never substitute or
supplant the wire systems but will
greatly amplify and extend their
usefulness. It is humanitarian
. rather than commercial but it is
useful in that it makes conversa-
tion possible between places ane
moving objects that could not be
connected by wire. As with wire.
Jees telegraphy, it will probably be
dependedle enough except as out
lined above.”

Homes in Westwood
Work on the several new homes
in Westwood Heights is pro-
gressing rapidly and all the fine
weather of the past few weeks
was taken advantage of by the
contractors. Carpenters are busy
finishing up the inside of
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Davis’
beautiful home, the paper hangers
having completed a large part
of their work, and Mr. Davis
hopes to move in within the next
few weeks. The White, Martin
and Collier homes are rapidly
nearing completion and this end
of town presents a very busy ap-
pearance.
While most of us admire presi-
dent Wilson for his stand on the
overseas war question, the peo-
ple of the Rio Grande Valley are
becoming impatient—and justly
so. We believe the trouble is
that the president does not un-
derstand just how serious the
problem really is, believing it to
be not so black as it is painted.
However, when the government
does fully grasp the full signifi-
cance it will loose no time in put-
ting a stop to the activities of
obstreperous Mexicans, or we
miss our guess and will find our

Men who mean no harm are

Goliad citizens are just who
those of Beeyille are, for like our
friends to the west, we are long
on excursions and the one made
to Beeville Wednesday the 3rd,
was much enjoyed by all who at-
tended. There were probably
thirty cars of Goliad people that
went over that day to be in at-
tendance upon Bee county’s fair,
and while they did not go in a
body on account of the dust,
they made quite an addition to
the crowd on Beeville’s busy
streets. How good it is for two
towns to be so friendly !

voice may be carried over land tele-
phone wires and be automatically
passed through wireless telephone
transmitters and be flung across
oceans, deserts or mountain barriers.
Results Not Surprising.
“The results of these wireless ex-
periments.” continued Mr. Farns-
worth, “has not been surprising. Tel-
ephone officials generally knew that
John J. Carty, chief engineer of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
company, was perfecting a method
by which he hoped to span the oceans
without the connecting link of a
cable. Since he accoppilshed the
task of establishing a physical wire
circuit which would carry the voice
from New York to San Francisco, It
seemed as if any dream might come
true with reference to the telephone.
Twenty years ago real long distance
talking, as we know it today, seemed
beyond the realm of the imagination.
Last January the transcontinental
lines were opened. Now we have
transmission of sound through 5,000
miles without the use of wires and
half of the distance was over land
where all sorts of atmospheric con-
ditions prevailed. It seems as if the
limit in an age of marvelous accom-
plishment has been reached.”
Women,
safest Liver Medicine,
That season of the year is upon
us when all accounts should be
paid and as we have several
hundred subscribers whose sub-
scription to The Guard is now
due, we are anxious to make
our collections. $1.50 is not
much to you, but with several
hundred such sums out it soon
runs up for us-
