ST. PATRICK'S DAY
MAYOR EHLERS
—»—CLEAN-UP WEEK
A young reader of this column has
been enquiring about St. Patrick.
The writer has been reading a book
just published by Messrs. Doubleday
Doran, and the book itself is by Miss
Jane T. Stoddart. It is entitled 'Pri-
vate Prayer in Christian Story,' and
in it is an account of the religious
Good Ball Team
Is In Line for Gulf
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN LINE-UP;
IZZIE GLEN AND DICK
KERR, TWIRLERS
GULF, Texas, March 14.—The Gulf
Baseball Team is now practicing daily
in order to get themselves in shape for
the opening game of the South Coast
League which will be sometime dur-
ing the first part of April.
With the signing of Dick Kerr, for-
mer Chicago White Sox Pitcher, as
manager of the Gulf Team, the Club
feels confident that they will be very
life and missionary labors of St. Pat-; much in the running to cop the South
Coast League Pennant this year.
With the exception of Hopkins,
Webb, Clements, and Edwards, Gulf
has practically the same team as they
had last, year when they won the sec-
ond half championship of the South
Coast League, and the signing of Iz-
zie Glen, veteran righthan twirler,
gives Gulf one of the smartest pitch-
ing staffs in the loop, and Izzie will
have a very good runnig mate, Dick
Kerr, who will do much of the twirl-
ing, and still has lots of stuff left in
his left wing.
Frankie Truesdal, veteran second
sacker has now signed with the Club,
and with this addition, Gulf will have
one of the best infields in the League;
with Lawhorn and Connell fighting
it out for first base, Cross at third,
and Brown, sterling second sacker of
last season shifted to short. Buller,
who was with the Club last year is a
candidate for the outfield, and with
this lineup it is easy to see that Gulf
will be very much in the running.
Timber on the ground, and founda-
tion laid for the grandstand at Gulf,
which will have a capacity of about
350, and with the playing field taking
form, we hope to have everything in
good shape for the opening game.

life;
rick.
When the Roman legions were with
drawn from Britain, about 410 A. D.,
to aid in the defense of Italy against
the Goths, the Apostle of Ireland
was a young man of between twenty
and thirty. His birthplace has been
located by scholars in Glamorganshire,
Wales. The son of a deacon, Patrick
was instructed in the Christian faith,
and obtained a thorough knowledge of
the Scriptures.
In his seventeenth year he was car-
ried as a captive to Ireland. "While
he ate the bitter bread of bondage,"
writes Professor Bury in his life of
St. Patrick, " a profound spiritual
change came over him. He had never
given much thought to his religion,
but now that he was a thrall among
strangers, 'the Lord,' he says, 'opened
the sense of my unbelief.' The ardour
of religious emotion, 'the love and
fear of God,' so fully consumed his
soul that in a single day or night
he would offer a hundred prayers;
and he describes himself in woodland
or on mountainside, rising from his
bed before dawn, and going forth to
pray in hail or rain or snow."
Ireland, to the young Patrick was
a place of bondage because he was a
slave there, and he prayed earnesly
for deliverance. In a dream the mes-
sage came to him, "Behold, thy ship
is ready." After a long perilous
flight, he reached the shore near Wick-
low. "The ship of his dreams was
there, and was soon to sail. It was
a ship of traders, their cargo was
aboard, and part of the cargo consisted
of dogs, probably Irish wolf-hounds.
Patrick spoke to some of the crew
and made a proposal of service. He
was willing to work his passr.gc to the
port to which the vessel was bound.
The proposal seems to have been at
first entertained, but afterwards the
shipmaster objected, and said sharp-
ly, 'Nay, in no wise shalt thou come
with us.' The disappointment, as
safety seemed within grasp, must
have been bitter, and Patrick turned
away from the mariners to seek the
lodging where he had found shelter.
As he went he prayed, and before he
finished his prayer he heard one of the
crew shouting behind him, 'Come
quickly, for they are calling for you.'
The shipmaster had been persuaded
to forego his objections, and Patrick
set sail from the shores of Ireland with
this rough company."
Amid the perils of the journey, his
prayers sustained the courage of his
shipmates. In after-years he revisit-
ed the scenes of his captivity when he
became a Missionary to that wonderful
little country. There is a mountain
named for him, Croagh Patrick. Here
Patrick is said to have retired for
contemplation and prayer. Here too,
legend declares, he remained fasting
forty days and forty nights.
The "Confession" of St. Patrick,
from which in the main the authentic
facts of his life are drawn, was writ-
•ten in old age, and was intended as a
thanksgiving for the wonderful deal-
ing of God with himself. Though he
claimed none of those magical powers
which church tradition ascribed to
him, "his own strange life seemed
to Patrick more marvellous than any
miracle in that special meaning of the
word." He believed in special provi-
dences, and in the might of inter-
cessory prayer."

In thinking of St. Patrick's Day it
is worth while recalling that, accord-
ing to the best historical records, al-
most 50 per cent of the Revolutionary
army under George Washington was
composed of Irishmen. The statement
of Parke Custis, Washington's adopted
son, is well known.—"The aid receiv-
ed from the Irish in the struggle for
independence, was essential to our
ultimate success. In the War of In-
dependence, Ireland furnished 100 men
to every single man furnished by any
other foreign nation. Let America
bear eternal gratitude to Irishmen!"
It is worth recalling, too, that Wash-
ington several times ordered that St.
Patrick's Day should be observed as
a holiday by the army. It is on rec-
ord that the Commander-in-Chief said
on one occasion: "I, too, am a lover
of St. Patrick's Day."

The Beacon is very glad that Mayor
He Means Business

A.
H. MILLICAN FOR
SHERIFF; GIVES HIS
PLATFORM TO VOTERS
Five candidates are now seeking the
office of Sheriff of Matagorda County,
the fifth being Mr. A. H. Millican of
Bay City, whose announcement will
be found in the proper column of the
Beacon this week. Also the platform
and principles upon which he is ask-
ing the voters for the office will be
found in another column published in
full.
Mr. Millican is well known all over
Matagorda and Brazoria counties, hav-
ing resided in these two counties all
of his life. He is well qualified to
fill the office of sheriff,t having had
years of experience as deputy sheriff
and railroad detective, and made such
a good peace officer that ho has many
recommendations from prominent offi-
cials commending him for his work.
He will appreciate any consideration
shown his candidacy.
Ehlers has declared for re-election.
Mr. Ehlers has been a member of the
City Council four years, and has act-
ed as Mayor for the past two years.
He came to Palacios to live some years
ago after having made a success of
his business as farmer and cattleman.
Possessing both means and leisure,
Mr. Ehlers has devoted much time and
attention to local affairs. As Alder-
man he was Chairman of the Streets
and Bridges Committee, an office he
filled with much efficiency. He was
on the Board when the Light Plant
was burned down, and he along with
Mr. Lacy Pybus, devoted much thought
and time to its rebuilding. During
his tenure of office the Light Plant has
been sold to the Central Power and
Light Company. Since he became
Mayor he has performed the duties
of his office with much credit to the
Council and to himself. During the
past two or three months the City
has initiated a paving program, and
the Beacon is glad that Mayor Ehlers
has decided to continue in office, and
thus see the paving program through
to completion.
* * *
The Ladies Auxiliary to the Cham-
ber of Commerce has gotten away to
a good start under the Presidency of
Mrs. Robert Price. Committees have
been appointed and are beginning to
function. On Wednesday afternoon
500 plants of different kinds were dis-
tributed at the City Library. This
present week, March 12 to 17th, has
been proclaimed Clean-Up Week. The
Beacon cannot help thinking that the
merchants in the business district have
not taken Clean-Up Week as serious-
ly as they should. Many individual
householders have gotten to work,
but not so most of our business houses.
Would it not be well to extend Clean-
Up Week a few days longer, take a
few hours off on say, Monday after-
noon, and clean up the business dis-
trict. It would not be necessary to
close the stores entirely—one assistant
could be left in each Store. The one
thing that has been most noticeable
has been A LACK OF CONCERTED
ACTION. Neither the employes of
the City Council nor the merchants
have co-operated as they should. The
business district will surely not allow
itself to be outdone by the residential
district. Can any town flourish as it
should if it lacks civic pride? and
has no taste for civic beauty? Pala-
cios can be made beautiful. Let's
proceed to do it.

in the affairs of the town and com-
munity, not only in a religious way
but in a civic manner also, we want

State Highway Resident Engineer
E. N. Gustafson has been officially
notified by the Highway Department
that the complete plans of the first
section from Houston to the Texas Na-
tional Guard Camp at Palacios, has
been approved and that bids will be
received in Austin covering the por-
tion of the said highway extending
from the Brazoria county line to the
east city limits of Bay City on Mon-
day, April 2nd.
This letting will cover the grading
and drainage structures and is com-
posed of the following approximate
items:
Clearing and grubbing, 35 acres.
Roadway excavation, 96,000 cu. yds.
Roadway borrow, 77,000 cu. yds.
Structural concrete, 1024 cu. yds.
Reinforcement steel, 109,000 lbs.
Galvanized metal pipe, 112 lin. ft.
The total estimated cost is approxi-
mately $90,000.
It is likely that the successful bid-
der will begin construction within 30
days after the letting, and means that
this work will be well under way be-
fore mid-summer.—Bay City Tribune.
In conversion with County Com-
missioner Geo. Harrison this week

the east section of the Highway from
Brazoria County line to Bay City on

C. L. Gass Launches
Closing Out Sale
The Beacon carries a page ad from
C. L. Gass this week in which he is
offering the buying public another op-
portunity of saving money. Read it
over carefully and see if your needs
cannot all be supplied from these
sacrificing prices. We also printed a
big lot of circulars advertising this
sale which have been distributed all
over this section and the opening day,
Saturday, March 17, is expected to be
a big one. Mr. Gass is a one hundred
per cent business man, knows the val-
ue of printer's ink, when and how to
use it. The immense tiade he gets
through this medium is testimony in
itself. Just watch the crowds that
throng his place of business on the
opening day and all through each
sale he puts on.
DR. ELLIOTT MOVES OFFICE
Dr. J. R. Elliott has removed his
office from the room adjoining Dr.
Driskill's office on the west side of the
second story of the Ruthven building
into rooms on the east side on the
same floor formerly occupied by H.
C. Boyd. These rooms have been re-
decorated and now the doctor has a
reception room fitted up with mission
furniture and a surgical room all in
white fully equipped. The doctor is
very proud of his new quarters and
would like to have you give him a
friendly call as well as a professional
one.
Local Chevrolet
Dealers Attend
Houston Meeting
The Chevrolet Motor Company in
1928 is planning to break all pi'oduc-
tion sales records in the history of
the Company according to Maynavd
Green, local Chevrolet dealer, who re-
cently returned from Houston where
he and Mr. H. V. Barr attended the
annual Chevrolet sales meeting in the
Scottish Rite Cathedral.
Nearly five hundred Chevrolet deal-
ers and associate dealers, who attend-
ed the great sales meeting, heard Mr.
H. J. Klingler, General Sales Manager
of the Chevrolet Motor Company,
sound the keynote of the biggest cam-
paign ever undertaken by Chevrolet.
Mr. Klingler outlined the plan for the
sale of more than a million units in
1928.
"Never before did a Chevrolet meet-
ing create such unbridled enthusiasm
as was displayed over the Chevrolet
prospects for the year," Mr. Green
declared.
Regional and Zone officials of the
Chevrolet Motor Company assisted
Mr. Klingler in the conducting of the
meeting which took the form of the
most comprehensive sales presenta-
tion of its kind ever made by an au-
tomobile manufacturer. Talks were
illustrated in the form of playlets, de-
picting the proper procedure to be
followed in the succcssful operation
of a retail automobile business.
Immediately following the meeting
the dealers were guests of the Chev-
rolet Motor Company at an elaborate
banquet in the Rice Hotel.
An added feature of the meeting
was an address by Mr. Felix Doran,
Jr., who is Regional Sales Manager,
and Mr. G. M. Kavanaugh, Houston
Zone Sales Manager.
The Houston meeting was the next
to the last of a series of forty-three
similar meetings being held this Win-
ter and Spring from coast to coast.

[ less luxury for the other Jr.
J the other night I heard A.
I "singin' to his Mammy."
I have eaten canned soi.,*\
j corn, canned tomatoes, canri' .
! all sorts—I have listened :.o
, music and have ridden in ra:r
! tomobiles—I have watched tlv
ering shadow of canned scenc.- y and
photo-drama but on that night .'hen I
heai'd A1 Jolson sing ( I say heard
A1 Jolson)—that was my- first jxper-
ience with canned drama—I think I
have never seen nor heard a: -/thing
more dramatic than perhaps the last
fifteen minutes of that "Movietone"
entertainment.
With an intricate piece of machin-
ery they have taken a picture and a
voice and reproduced it for us so that
the audience which listens forgets it-
self and applauds the actors who flick-
er away and leave their admirers in
the midst of their applause—to say
the least rather embarrassed at them-
selves.
When the show was over I was ger-
enty-five cents worse off financially
and ten dollars better off with home-
sickness—if that can be described as
"better." The secret of it all is that
the fellows who write and do these
songs and poems about Dixie and the
great big lovable South all yearn for
the thing the South has—and has as
no other place on earth has it, I sup-
pose.
In a mood to do something extra nice
for my wife and baby I bought a box
of strawberries in place of a box of
candy for them the other day. It cost
$1.25. On such occasions we look
back to Dixie!
How can you help looking
why I used to pick strawlBnnw 1
year around at home—I have often
wondered lately why I never planted
a patch at Collegepcrt.
Outside the snow is on the ground.
Thousands of people in this city are
starving to death! Slowly starvation
is encroaching on homes—slave homes.
Industry is being curtailed and the
poor laborer is being worked one-
fourth and one-half time so that hii
poverty is a slowly gathering one.
Over in the coal nines thousands
of litle children are without food and »
clothing—starving in the great coal
strike!
Why is this? Because this part of
the world is in the grip of winter.
While corn is up in Dixie not a fur-
row is turned in Pennsylvania. Lester
Liggetts garden contains all the vege-
tables a heart could ask for—they can
be obtained here only on the markets
where they have been shipped from far
southern points.
What a difference if those poor fac-
tory people lived in the South—what
a difference if the coal miners' baby
might have cabbage and beets and let-
tuce from ihs southern garden. What
a transformation if all this could
be moved to the Matagorda Bay coun-
try. The factories could pay huge
profits off the saving in coal for heat-
ing purposes here in this frigid clime.
Since January the first I have lost
the equivalent of six weeks wages In
my office. There are four girls em-
ployed to take care of the mall of the
office. Two of them were out in the
last two months for a total of three
weeks which, counting the cost of help
to take their places, makes my office
the looser of six weeks wages at bast.
There is so much sickness here.
And yet there are folks who will
stand lip staunchly for the countjafcj—/
One of the letters we had last week
contained some orange blossoms mash-
ed and robbed of their virgin per-
fume—I passed them around—to that
no one could answer. As a matter
of fact there is no answer for as sure
as time the East is going West find
the West is going South.
I have often wondered what voula
have happened if the pilgrim^ f *there
had settled on the Gulf of Mexico :atn-
er than in the East—I suppose they
would have disintegrated—the f Uth's
greatest difficulty is in that it i a too
easy to live there. „ . .

TRUCK GROWERS NOTICJS I
The Palacios Truck Growers \no»
ciation will have a meeting ao tne
City Hall Saturday, at 8 P. ty. Let
us not be discouraged with our radish
deal and let the whole thing fell
through. Your president needs some
more encouragement, although I am
disappointed with our radish ship-
ments and have lost heavier than any
farmer, still I have courage and faith.
We cannot do wonders from tl.s Etart,
neither can I perform miracles by
controlling the market conditions and
keeping everybody in a gouu humor.
It was told me more than onco at
the start that if we made a failure to
get the expected price or if I graded
to close or when the going was hard
the organization would fall through.
Now are we going to live up to ex-
pectations ? Come on let's all be thertt
Saturday and thrash this out and go
forward with our planting and plan-
ning. Yes talk is cheap but it takes
brains and muscle combined to succeed
in anything. C. S. Burns, Prw,
