GALBREATH DECLARES
TARIFF ON MEXICAN
CRUDE OIL ESSENTIAL
Mid - Continent Operator
Daring Visit Here Says In-
dependents Need Protection.
A tariff on oil from Mexico is urged
by Robert Galbreath veteran operator
of the Mid-Continent field as a remedy
for the slump in the petroleum indus-
try now facing the producers of Texas.
Mr. Galbreath spent a few days in San
Antonio and Laredo last week con
ferring with oil men and then went to
Houston to confer with operators there.
It is the expressed opinion of Mr.
Galbreath that a tariff on Mexican oil
is tbe only salvation in sight for the
small producers of the state. It r
plain he says that Texas prodneet-
cannot compete with the cheap Mexi-
can oil.
Every week Mr. Galbreath declares
big gushers are being brought in Mex-
ico. Within his certain knowledge he
says eight gushers were completed in
Mexico in two weeks that will average
150.000 barrels each a day.
It is the big companies who are seek-
ing to prevent a tariff being placed on
Mexican petroleum be says adding that
it is also tbe big companies who arc
urging tbe independent producer to
cease operation* as a means of restor-
ing tbe oil market to a profitable basis.
"You shut down the independent pro-
dneer and you shut down the indepen-
dent refiner. Then it is likely that
there will be no further price reduc-
tions since it has been the independent
refiner who has been satisfied with
quick sales and small profits.”
Mr. Galbreath in speaking of the pos-
sibility of discovering new oil fields in
southwest Tegas. named Zapata county
tbe scene of the Miranilo operations as
good territory for gusher oil. Another
promising field he said ia in McMul-
len and Live Oak counties where big
gaanrrs have been developed.

Al! Nature Conspires to Make
Hanmness at Camp Laf-a-Lot
Children Flit Through
Friendly Forests Along
Banks of Winding Stream
and Regain Health and
Contentment.
The 24 children at t'amp Laf-a-Lot
near Comfort many of whom are en-
joying •■emp life for the first time
flitted about like little blue and white
butterflies among tbe wild flowers Fri-
day aftemvon when officers of the
Chamber of Commerce and their wives
visited the camp taking with them mes-
sages of good cheer aud huge armsful
ol candy dolls and marbles. They
were happy children dressed as neat-
ly as children copld p>ssibly be in white
middies and blue bloomers and there
was an even happier light in their eyes
when the dolls and marbles and candy
were given to them.
The candy large chocolate bars was
melted in its boxes by tbe sun until
it was one large brown sticky mass
but the children praised it by eating
it with delight- Une little buy tbe
youngest in the crowd looked as though
be had been iu friendly combat with a
| Chocolate Soldier alter a few min-
utes' session with a chocolate bar for
his cheeks and once neat suit were ob-
literated from view by huge masses of
tbe sweet substance.
Tbe children are tbe second group to
enjoy pleasures of camp life afforded by
tbe work of tbe San Antonio Chamber
of Commerce. The camp is supported
by tbe Chamber and tbe children are
selected f.pm homes where parents arc
unable to afford to send them on a sum-
mer outing. The children most worthy
of the trip are selected by city public
health nurses. The age limit is from 5
to 12 years.
Few Rules as Possible.
Tbe camp fa conducted by Miss Geor-
gia Locke kindergarten teacher in
Laurel Height*. Tbe children are re-
quited to observe a few necessary rules
of tbe camp but generally they are left
free to play among themselves as their
desires dictate. The trees and flowers
and birds all nature conspire to make
them happy and contented during tbe
three weeka that they are allowed to
stay at the camp.
They follow the old maxim “Early to
bed and early to rise—’’ and tbe pert
about making one healthy seems to work ।
out in their case. The reason they
must go to bed early is that there are
no electric lights in tbe camp so when <
the aun sets they sleep. Consequently
they are up with the sun too. A nap '
ia required every afternoon. Miss '
I^x-ke said that some children did not I
really need it but tbe smaller ones do. 1
■But they must all try to sleep during
that hour." she said "in order that all 1
be quiet for those who need the rest." '
They are taught to respect the rights ]
of all others in tbe camp and the rules j
Abicb they mu^t follow are all bawd I
upon that principle of the rights of oth- J
They play many chAdren's games and I
tell each other stories and often Miw ■

the caiup »ina« it was opened on
June 11.
Last week there were four children at
the camn who had been taken there
because their mother was very ill and
they could not be taken care of at home.
She died the la«t of the week. When
the children were told they could hard-
ly comprehend what Mis* I-ocke was
telling them.
Flower* for Their Mother.
But tjiry understood that their
mother must have flowers. So they
gathered a great many wild floWera.
The children were not taken to •the
funeral so they had their own little
funeral at the camp. One of t|ie chil-
dren dug a small grave another waa
the minister and solemn ceremonies
were held and amid the heartbreaking
sobs of the four little children the
flowers were placed on the little make-
believe grave. Mis* Locke aaid that
waa the first time she had seen chil-
dren play funeral and she said it show-
ed her the sensitive and imaginative
heart of childhood.
Many letters of appreciation have
been received from mothers of chil-
dren who have enjoyed the privileges of
the eamp. They all mentioned the gen-
erous way in which the children bad
been provided for.
< Ine letter read :
“I want to thank you for the very
enjoyable holiday which by two little
girls have bad for the iiast three weeks
at Camp Laf-z-lxit. I cannot too strong-
ly stress my appreciation of Miss
Locke kindness and tbe general happi-
ness aral health engendered by tbe
holiday and I fed sure that the city
fathers responsible for the financial part
of this scheme will in tbe future reap
full measure of reward iu good citiacu-
sb : p for thus ‘casting bread upon the
waters.’ ’’

candles was ent at the supper served
