AUSTIN. Tex., March 4.Caesar Kle-
berg, assistant manager of the King
Kaiieh properties in Southwestern Texas
with headquarters at the famous Santa
licitrudis near Kingsviiie, is visiting in
Austin. Mr. Kleberg said the Rio Grande
Valley Is just beginning to feel the effects
of substantial development. All lines of
live stock are flourishing and Mr. Kle-
berg says the creamery and dairy busi-
ness is wonderfully successful; that It Is
lifting mortgages and creating bank
counts, .*111<i i i at uetunnd Is far
greater than the siippl.s
Discussing the comuliuis as exist in
that section of Texas as compared tu
the established creamery and dairy sec-
tions oi Wisconsin, Minnesota and other
older and colder regions. Mr. Kleberg says
the farmers from those places gasp when
the contrast is evidenced. In Texas tne
fino cattle are pastured twelve month
without shelter, being fed ensilage or a
little corn while being milked. In the
North it is necessary to provide shelter
for the cattle .four or five months and
feed them at great expense. lie says
the butter fat is as large op larger in
Texas, even though the maintenance or
the herds is far cheaper. "And the dairy
and creamery business is iji Its infamy
in the Kio Grande Valley," he asserted.
There is lots ot room ano the Industry is
susceptible of immense development, he
c.c dared.
loinierly it was necessary to ship the
fine cow south of the tick line and g«t
them acclimated. Now the fine herds in
that section, are acclimated and their
offspring sold to the newcomers who
have no trouble with the lever or tick
problem. That is a distnet advantage.
Southwestern Texas produces fine dairy
cat lie and the best beef herds that can
be found, said Mr. Kleberg, besides pro-
ducing fat hogs in great numbers, which
gives it a solid foundation for permanent
prosperity. Sufficient grain and ensilage
crops arc raised, and that makes it self-
supporting. "Some five or six years ago
there were hardly twenty hogs In Kle-
berg County," said Mr. Kleberg, "while
no.w that county is shipping fine fat hogs
by the carload. That shows its wonder
i'uI propogation finalities."
While sonie of the farmers became dis-
couraged iu raising onions, truck, etc.,
from various causes, such as glutted niai •
kets and the like, the dairy, creamery,
live stock and hog business has brought,
prosperity to the Kio Grande Valley, was
the parting declaration of the well known
VlsitO/.

AUSTIN, Tex , March 4. At a regular
conferencei of the inspectors of the State
Fire Insurance Commission, with mem-
bers of the Commission, announcement was
made that in the future the method of
inspection now employed in the big cities
would also be used iu the inspections
of the smaller towns.
Reports received by the commission are
that there is more interest being taken In
fire prevention work in Texas than eve.'
known before, and should this Interest be
maintained throughout the .War, the Com- \
niisslouers are confident a much lower j
loss ratio will be reflected In those cities |
and towns which are taking active in- j
Ierest in fire prevention work.

AUSTIN, Tex., March 4.—For many
years the agricultural departments have
been demonstrating the advantage of scien-
tific farming by establishing demonstra-
tion farms In different points In the coun-
ties of Texas. At these farms, the soil,
the climate, the rainfall and all conditions
affecting agriculture are studies. The
same plan has been adopted iu public
health work. The Texas Health Depart-
ment aunouuees that three demonstration
districts will be selected in Leon, Harris
ami Polk Counties. Every feature affect
iug the health of the inhabitants ol the
districts will be studied.
The plan of this intensive health work
begins with a series of lectures on the
prevention of sickness, delivered as nearly
as possible in every locality iu tie* county
to both whites and blacks. I pon the
Interest shown in these lecUires will de
pond the selection of the three -lemons!ra-
tion districts. Kaeli district will include
approximately 1,000 people, and will be
typical of the conditions in the county.
When districts are selected .1 sanitary
survey will be made, showing on the map
every road, home, creek, privy, well and
every disease-producing condition. A lab-
oratory will be established, a house -to-
house canvass will be made, the home
and Ms surroundings, as well as public
buildings inspected, and all insanitary
conditions pointed out.
The school children will be inspected for
physical defects, and wnere such defects
are found, cards will be sent to the par-
ents. explaining any defect and the neces-
sity for correcting sarue.
During the demonstration work, lectures
with sterioptlcon views will be given on
malaria, hookworm, typhoid, ♦ ubctculosis
and other preventable diseases, as well as
home and municipal sanitation, and the
prevention of Infant mortality.
During the last weeks of the campaign
carpenters will be secured, and with the
assistance <»f the heads of the families,
houses will be screened anil sanitary
privies built.
With malaria, hookworm anil typhoid
eradicated, the value of many farms, now
almost untenable, will be Increased in
value several times, not to mention the
saving In human lives.
'Mils campaign will be under the direc-
tion of Dr. P. W. Covington of vhe Inter-
national Health Commission, working un-
der the auspices of the State Uourd of
Health.
SAN ANTON IAN INVENTS POINT-O GRAPH
A patent has been issued to U. P.
Mathews of San Antonio for an appliance
for the use of stenographers and otheis
who c<>p\ en the typewriter, known as the
'Point-o uraph." It Is claimed by the in
ventor that the device will prevent brain
fag. prove restful to tile eyes and assure
greater speed and efficiency iu copying
legal documents and other matter.
This "Point-o graph" holds the muttci,
or document to be. copied In any position
most convenient to the typist. It is con-
nected to the carriage of the typewriting
machine, as shown in the accompanying
illustration. The movement of the Indi-
cator, or pointer, which travels from let-
ter to letter, or character, on the doeti
nient being copied, Is controlled so that it
works automatically, and synchronously
with the typewriter carriage. When a line
has been copied by the typist, the carriage
is returned in the usual way, the Indi-
cator dropping down to the beginning of
the next line, thus at all times showing
to the typist the next letter, or figure, to
be copied. It is claimed elimination of
errors through the use of this device Is
practically close to loo per cent.

International fcewa Hrrrhe.
MOW YOKKf March More than 2,000
Irishmen and women representing hun-
dreds of th#u*and« of Celts in every part»
of the country aumnibled today at the}
Hotel Astor and dedicated themselves to*
the task of placing Ireland among the In-**
dependent nations of the earth the con-
clusion of the European war.
The "Irish Hace ConverifUrtl" as It*
founders term ft—Is the largest and most
representative gathering of Irishmen in,
lite hPstory of thi« country# Today and
tonight were held the first arssUms of the
convention, which w'll adjourn tomorrow
afternoon following a meeting In the Cohan
Theater. Hardly had Supreme Jnstlce"
John W. ({off delivered the keynote speech
as temporary chairman, when it was ap—
parent that the cyircut of the conrentiorf
flowed in two directions. First a flaming
hatred of iOnglaud and a thrflllng bugled
call to Ireland to aid (Jermany In the war;
MM-ond. au Insistent demand that this conn-"
try be kept out of war with the central&
pow era.
Some of the most prominent men and#
women In the country of Irish descent
were present. There were men who. have
adorned the arts and sciences; the metv
of Donegal sat beside the men of Tlpperar.v;
the Protestant preacher beside the Catho-'i
lie priest. _
The courageous spirit of the gathering
was allow u by the open fug prayer of Mgiy
lleury A. Itranii: "Oh, Cod, free Ireland.;
Punish her enemies."
Victor Herbert introduced Justice (*off.
Amid tremendous applause the venerable-
jurist sattl:
"It is a base calumny to say that Ireland
is loyal to IOnglaiul. Ireland Is iu a state
of siege. Her seaboard Is patrolled by
Ironclads and her cities, towns and villages
bristle with the bayonets of tins'army of
occupation.
"In the outcome of the great struggle
now raging and as between the combatants.-
now engaged, we have one supreme Inter-
est. and only one. That is to see lOugland,
the tyrant and oppressor of Ireland and
her people, the evil genius of France and
of every nation blighted by her alliance,,
defeated."
.liistve (Jeff warned against the danger
of Individual recklessness Involving Amer-
ica in the war.
"It Is true that American citizens, In
pursuit of legitimate ntirp; ses are entitled
to and should have the protection of our
(Jovernment abroad as well as at home, on
•a as well as on land, but it Is also true
that the Interests of the State must take
precedence »ver those of th« Individual,
i'lid where the safety of the one and tin*'
Hh'-rty of the other conflict, the former-
must prevail.
"''.'hus w'li I- in an ipidemie of danger
and destitution, an American citizen, for
the purposes «,f profit or pleasure, wan-
tonly exposes hhti-elf. It is not law. It Is
not justice, that his recklessness should
involve a whole nation In the horror of
war *' ,
.1 udge O Xetll Kyan of St. Louis, Intro-^,
dueed as permanent chairman, went even*
further in his waiting of the peril of war,»'
"We must not be involved in war with
the central powers." lie said. "That is
the message we must send to Washington.
N'one are more jealous than we of the lion-,
or of this, our country Hut in the eigh-.
teen months of the war we have passeit
through graver crises than this. The sltuy
atlou last May was more dangerous."
