inere's a reason for the
remarkable rapidity with
which investors are buying
Palm Heights homesites.
The reason is we are offering them
a solid, substantial investment,
backed by $60,000 being spent
now in improvements, such its are
possessed by no other residential
district in San Antonio.
Along with a homesite in Palm
Heights, at $250 and up, goes ce-
ment sidewalks, curbing, macad-
amized boulevards, fifteen-minute street car service,
telephone and electric light service, parks, fountains,
lake, waterworks system and other conveniences.
These are the only bargains we are offering with Palm
Heights homesites. These are the premiums we are
offering you.
Thirty thousand dollars' worth of sales have been
made in the last three weeks. At this rate, you will
soon lose your opportunity to obtain a homesite in an
improved residential district at the price of a mesquite
brush lot, surrounded by nothing, improved by noth-
ing and representing nothing but salesmanship and
newspaper advertising.

Wannamaker Sets Pace
For Paris Merchants
Creates Sensation in Commercial Circles of Ciay Cap-
ital by Using One Page of herald Three Times
Each Week to Give His Business Publicity.
John Wannnraaker rorontly began a now
era in publicity in Paris, France, and
his effort comes as a distinct surprise to
the merchants of the French capital. For
years it hns been a custom of the French
merchants to make public announcements
of their wares through the public prints
occasionally, using only limited space to
do so.
Mr. Wanna maker, however, has carried
some American ideas to Paris, and he re-
cently closed u contract for one page three
times a week in the Herald of that city,
the edition there being the continental
Issue of the New York Herald.
In this space publicity is given to the
wares carried In the great Wannamaker
store in America, and Is the talk of the
gay capital, both in social and commercial
circles.
This form of advertising, entirely now
to Paris, has rather taken away the
breath of the conservative firms. Estab-
lishments such as the Louvre, the Hon.
Marehe, the (Jaleries Lafayette, Prliitetnps,
the .Samaritaine. the Trofs Quartiers and
the P.elle Jardiniere advertise in news-
papers in hoineopathetic doses, their chief
ndvertising being done in bill posters or
catalogues distributed through the post.
Both these methods are ineffective, the
former because people will not stop In the
streets to read the details of a poster,
the latter because the vast majority of
people toss catalogues unopened into the
waste paper basket.
Discussing this innovation, Mr. Wanna-
maker says that the American tourist in
hurope is a great buyer, and by Ills new
method of keeping his business before
them lie stimulates trade in those lines
in which he is interested. Three times a
week his advertisement will discuss the
latest Paris fashions in millinery, lingerie
and toilets, in fact, about, everything con-
cerning the eternal feminine.
This publicity on another continent,
where he is not engaged in business, gives
some notion of what one of the greatest
advertisers in America thinks of keeping
iiis name and Ids business before the
public. He is not content with one pare
a week, but believes It Is Rood business
to discuss those things pertaining to his
trade in a crisp, entertaining manner three
times a week.
If this great Philadelphia merchant
were new to the field of publicity and
bad not made a great success through
similar methods in this eouutrv to those
with which he Is making the Paris mer-
chant take particular notice, 0110 might
be justified in thinking that he is a com-
mercial sensationalist rather than the pro-
nounced fixture that he Is in the great
business world today.
In his effort lies a su-geslion for others
in the matter of publicity that Is well
worth careful consideration, for it Is a
fact that he is not in the least fooled In
what he Is doing. He knows I hat bolh
his business and the Interest of the buyer
will be benefitted.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. B—The third
annual exhibition and speed meeting of
the Portland Fair and Live Stock Asso-
ciation opened today. The opening ex-
ercises included a paper prepared by
James Hill and read by President .Maris
ot the Portland Fair and Live Stock As-
sociation. It follows:
A nation that means to preserve its
prosperity and control its own destiny
must make sure that its fund supply Is
adequate and will continue to be so. To
reverse our movement toward industrial
dependence, food scarcity and permanent
high prices, which has already gone far.
Is the item of the conservation program
more important to us than all the others
combined. This means conservation of
the soil, it requires no expensive ma-
chinery, no subordination of local to Fed-
eral Interests; nothing but industry, in-
telligence and willingness to follow the
teachings ol' experience. To Insist upon
it Is especially the duty of ail who, like
those gathered here, have Interests in-
sparably connected with the preservation
and Increase of soil productivity.
RAISING OF LIVE STOCK.
"The raising of live stock lias a twofold
rt lation lo the food supply of any coun-
try. Directly It furnishes the meat diet,
and Indirectly as the most valuable of all
aids to the cultivation of tlie soil and
the growing of crops, it helps to furnish
the bread diet. The interests which you
represent may, therefore, be said to act
doubly upon the agriculture of the coun-
try and contribute twice to Its welfare.
"Since people learn mostly by the pres-
sure of some need, the sharp rise In
price of all kinds of meats has turned at-
tention to the state of the live stock In-
terest. Retail prices lti some cases
double what they were a few years ago
stimulate Inquiry. Investigation shows
that live stock production has riot kept
pace with the demand upon It.
"The receipts of all kinds of live stock
ot the Chicago stock yards fur file year
1909 were 1,644,997 less than in 1908, al-
though the total valuation Increased over
JK.OOO.QOO. The receipts of hogs at thir-
teen principal markets in the I "tilted
States were 5.5.S6.312 less In 190!t than In
190K. The total number ot' cattle 111 the
country has declined 3,000,000 In the last
t)iree years, and of hogs 7,000,000.
WHY PRICES GO UP.
"Necessarily prices have gone up. The
breakfast lalile of the rich and lite dinner
pall of the poor are both affected. As
one would expect from these figures, na-
tive beef cattle and Western range cat-
He sold for the highest prices on record
in tile Chicago market in 1909. Hogs
brought the highest figure received for
twenty-seven years. Increase ol' popula-
tion, changes in agriculture, drift of
population cityward, all have helped to
restrict production and to add to price.
"These are u few of the facts bearing
on the direct relation of the live stock
interest to population, prices and the
general welfare. As our population in-
creases by anywhere from 1,500,000 to 2,-
&HJ.OOO per annum and practically every
person is a meat eater, it follows that
when the number of the principal food
animals either remains stationary or be-
gins to decline, the cost of living rises
and the pinch begins. Not even me ex-
traordinary prices paid for live stock
have thus far been able to raise produc-
tion to the level of demand.
"It is desirable that we should not only
feed our own people, but maintain those
declining exports of food animals and
other food products by which we have to
so considerable an extent paid out debts
in the past,
"in the lust five years our exports of
meat and dairy products fell from $211,-
000,090 to about JllSO.UOO.OOO, and of cattle,
sheep and hogs from $43,60(1,000 to about
$13,000,000. This illustrates the swift de-
cline In all our exports of food products,
a trade change so sudden and so tremen-
dous that the country may well take
alarm.
MUST CHANGE INDUSTRY.
"Unless we change our Industry, we
must soon cease to be self-supporting as
far as food Is concerned. This sounds
absurd in view of our Immense expanse
of fertile land, our relatively scanty pop-
ulation and the part we have played m
feeding the world in the past. Hut the
figures prove It. Our foreign trade In
cereals tells the same story as that in
meat products. Between the five years
ending with 1904 and the five ending with
1909, tlie decrease of our wheat exports
was over 40 per cent. In round num-
bers, our exports of food stuffs in crude
condition and food animals were $10(1,-
000,000 for the eleven month ending May
31 of this year, $132,000,000 for the same
period in 1909, and $1.11,000,00 In 198. Our
exports of foodstuffs partly or wholly
manufactured for the same three eleven-
month periods were $24,000,000, $281,000,000
and $310,000,000
ADDRESS BY EX-PRESIDENT.
Much Has Been Done to Improve Con-
dition of Workingmen, .Much
More to Be Done, He
Declares.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. o.—Theodore
Roosevelt delivered the following address
in this city today
Today—on Labor Hay I speak In one
sense especially to those personally and
vitally Interested in Ihe labor struggle,
and yet I speak of this primarily as one
aspect of the larger serial struggle grow-
ing out of the attempts to readjust social
conditions and make them more equitable.
The triumphs of the physical sciences
in the Nineteenth I'entury represented
progress primarily in the material elc.
ments of civilization. The most pressing
problems that confront the present cen-
tury are not concerned with the material
production of wealth, but with its dis-
tribution.
The American wage.earner faces this
larger social problem in a dual capacity;
first, as a citizen of the Itepublle charged
with the full duty of citizenship; and
next ns a wage-earner.
HE BISL1EVGS IN UNIONS.
It Is true of wage-workers, as of all
oilier citizens, that most of their progress
must depend upon their own Initiative
slid their own efforts. Nevertheless,
Ihere are three different factors In this
progress. There is, first, the share which
the man's own individual qualities must
determine. This Is the most important
of all ,for nothing ean supply the place
ol' Individual capacity. Yet'there are Iwo
other factors also of prime importance,
namely, what can be done by the wage-
workers in co-operat I on wlih one an-
other; and what can lie done by Govern-
ment. that is, by the Instrument through
which all the people work collectively.
Wages and other most important conol-
tions of employment must remain largely
outside of Government control; must lie
left for adjustment by free contract lie-
tween employers and wage earners, sub-
ject to legislation that mil prevent con-
ditions which compel man or woman in
accept wages representing less than will
insure decent living. iSut In attempt lo
leave this merely to individual action
means Ihe absolute destruction of in-
dividualism; for where the individual is
so weak that he, perforce, has to accept
whatever a strongly organized body
chooses to give him, his Individual liberty
becomes a mere sham and mockerv. II
Is indispensably neces-nry, In order lo
pii serve to the largt i degieo our system
of Individualism, licit there should be
effective and organized collective action.
The wage earners must act jointly,
through trie process of collective bargain-
ing, in great Industrial enterprises. Only
thus can they be put upon a plane of
economic equality wllh fiiclr corporale
employers. Only thus ts freedom of 1,1111
Irnct made a real thing and not a mere
legal fiction. I believe this practice of
collective bargaining, effective only
through such organizations as Ihe inoh

their permanent progress,
This does not mean that I unequivocally
endorse any or all practices thai labor
organizations may happen to adopt, or
any or all principles that they may
choose to enumerate. Labor organizations
have the weaknesses and defects com-
mon to all other forms of human organi-
zations.
Outside critics should appreciate the
necessity of organized labour, and under-
stand and sympathize with what is good
In it, instead of condemning It indis-
criminately. On the other hand, those
within its ranks should fearlessly analyze
the criticisms (greeted against it and
ruthlessly eliminate from the practices
of its organization those things which
Justify such criticism and attack.
PUBLIC Ml.'ST BE CONSIDERED.
The public is growing more and more
to understand that, in a contest between
employer and employe—a corporation and
a trades union—not only the Interests of
the contestants, but the Interests of the
ttdrd party -the public must be con-
sidered. Anything like levity in provok-
ing a strike, on tlie one hand or on the
other, is certain more and more to be
resented by the public. Strikes are some-
times necessary and proper; sometimes
they represent the only way In which,
after all other methods have been ex-
hausted, it is possible for the laboring
man to stand for his rights; but It mu.it
be clearly understood that a strike is a
matter of last resort, and, of course,
violence, lawlessness and mob rule must,
be promptly and sternly dealt with, nd
matter what the cause may be that ex-
cites them.
Therefore it is becoming more than
ever important that the labor movement
should combine steady, far-seeing leader-
ship witli discipline and control in its
ranks.
All that can properly he done should
be done by all of us to help upward the
standard of living and to improve the
ability of the average man to reach that
standard. There are still in the I'nlted
States great masses of skilled and un-
otganized labor, whose conditions oi work
ami living are harsh and pitiable, it i?
a shocking indictment of our industrial
condition to be told in a matter of course
way in a Government report that thou-
sands of workers in this country are com-
pelled to toll every day in the week, with-
out one day rest, for a wage of Sir, a
month. Such a condition is bad for them,
and, In the end, bad for all of us, Our
commercial development should be hearti-
ly encouraged; but It must not be al-
lowed to commerclalizo our morals.
AS TO LEGISLATION.
This opens a vitally important field
of legislation to the National Govern-
ment and to the State alike, "it is humili-
ating to think how far we of this coun-
try are behind most of the other coun-
tries in such matters.
Among the planks in the platform of
tho American Federation of Labor there
are some to which I very strongly sub-
scribe. They are:
1. Free schools; free textbooks, and
compulsory education.
2. A work-day of not more than eight
hours.
3. Release from employment one day
In seven.
1. The abolition of the sweat-shop sys-
tem.
5. Sanitary Inspection of factory, work-
shop. mine and homo.
