not marketed to any great extent here

<aid, although, of course, they are
marketed in large quantities up into
the spring. The present high tides,
which are likely to prevail until well
up Into October, will have a tendency
to make the early oysters small and
thin, Mr. Rogers said, as most of their
food is carried in on the top of the
water, and when the tides are high
this food is out of reach of the oyster
beds.
But despite the declining quantity
of oysters ere, their quality remains
unimpaired, and even improved. The
demand for Galveston oysters is great,
because of their size and flavor, and
each season they are shipped to all
parts of the United States.—Galvs-

were carefully gone over, and the
prize winners selected. These will
bo announced and the prizes awarded
at a public meeting in the near future.
It must be borne in mind that the
grade of each yard at the final inspec-
tion was not necessarily the deciding
grade. The condition of the yards
throughout) the spring and summer has
been carefully watched by the com-
mittee, and the grades extend over the
entire period.
Considering the very dry summer,
the contest has been quite satisfac-
tory, and the committee is gratified
at the interest shown by most of the
contestants.
We hope the awarding of the prizes
will serve to arouse the interest of
more people so that our next contest
will be more extensive. How richly
will the committee feel repaid for their
summer's work if a little more in-
terest is aroused in beautifying our

Connally Address.
In address which was vociferiously
received by the legionnaires Senator
Connally stated it was the duty of the
government to care for its disabled
world war soldiers even though their
disability was not a direct result of
the great conflict and that disabled
veterans ought not be made to produce
medical evidence of their disability
ir; service 12 years after the end of
the war.
Connally portrayed the legion as
the greatest example of civil soldier-
ing in the world and complimented
the organization for its pursuit of
peaceful objectives.
He urged them not to forget the
duties of citizenship now and to keep
good citizenship uppermost in their
motives.
The peacetime soldiers ware given
credit by Connally for winning the
war, the Senator saying that the regu-
lar army played a small part in the
victory. The Marlin senator, who re-
a private in the army and who was
mustered out with the rank of captain,
urged the legionaires to carry into
peacetime activities the same idea of
service they had when in the armed
forces of the United States.
Brennan was nominated for the
state commandership by Claude V.
