THE PALACIOS BEACON, PALACIOS, TEXAS
C. E. Schaff
On Ths “Katy” Going to Church.
The railroad* are fast becoming the great moral
educators of the nation. A big corporation Issuing an
order against Immorality Is more far-reaching In Its
effect than the most powerful sermon. The fear of a
time check ofttlmes has more Influence for righteous*
nest than the fear of the great conflagration.
Mr. C. E. Schaff, President of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Lines, when asked what that road was doing
toward Influencing religious growth and moral progress
of the country his railway serves, said In part:
"The M., K. & T. Lines are as‘liberal as the low will
permit in Issuing passes for religious and charitable
purposes. We give free transportation to such organizations and Issue Ihe
clergy half rates, and we also make reduced rates to -religious conferences,
conventions, eto. It Is our policy to co-operate In every way possible that si
common carrier can consistently do In the moral uplift of the communities wo
serve.
We endeavor to employ only men of high moral standards and prefer to
got them from Christian homes. It Is as Important that our employes be
morally capable as that they be physically sound, and we encourage righteous
living In every reasonable manner.
The company contributes liberally towards the support of the Railway
Young Men's Christian Associations, which have a large membership. At
loaat 60 per cent of our trainmen use the Y. M. C. A. Substantial and com-
fortable buildings are maintained at the principal terminal points along our
lino for the use ef our employes, where they are provided with baths, clean
beda, reading and social rooma, etc. This association Is doing much toward
the moral and physical uplift of the men In the way of providing them wfth
wholesome environment which they might not otherwise have opportunity
to on]oy.
We encourage Y. W. C. A. matrons to occupy office space In our sta-
tions and our employai co-operate with them In their work. 'In this and other
ways the railway co-operates in work which In Its inception and actual opera-
tion has a vital effect In producing better conditions of life and morals.
Rather than that a railway baa no soul, It sho 'd be said that the railway
tan a soul as big as Its operations and as far-reaching as Its Influence.”
knowledge. Rooks of Carboniferous
age, as shown In their fossils, have a
wide distribution In the United States,
and they are apt to abound In these
remains of plant and animal life. Tho
fossil shells which are found In them,
however, may vary greatly from point
to point, because the animals tbey rep-
resent lived In dlfforent periods of geo-
logio time or In different regions In
the Carbonlferoue ocean.
Spectacle* for Cows.
The Idea of cows wearing spectacles
seems ridiculous. Nevertheless there
are cows that do wear spectacles, and
they may be seen on the plains or
steppes of Russia, which are covered
with enow more than six months of
the year. The cows subsist on the tufts
of grass which crop above the snow,
and the rays of the sun on the snow
are so dazzling as to cause blindness.
It occurred to a kind-hearted man to
protect the cows’ eyes In the earns
way as those of human beings, and he
manufactured smoke-colored specta-
cles which could be worn by cattle.
These spectacles proved a great suc-
cess and are now
10,000 head of cattle,
longer suffer from snow blindness,
which once caused such untold suffer-
ing among them.

TEXAS WOMAN'S FAIR
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND
HRLD LARGELY FOR BENEFIT OF
WOMEN CF 8MALLER CITIES
AND TOWNS OF TEXAS.
AT HOUSTON, OCTOBER 1M6
Everything Pertaining to Woman’s
Work to Be Handled Through Lec-
tures and Exhibits—What Wom-
an Has Done and Can Do.
The Texas Woman’s Fair to be held
la Houston October 11-16 Is an origi-
nal idea. While there have been fairs
Innumerable through the centuries
since mankind began to gather, this Is
the first of the fairs to be devoted en-
tirely and wholly to the work of wom-
en la the home, the arts, sciences
and industries.
This is a feminist movement that
Is dlffsrsnt. It Is deslgntd to show
what women have accomplished and
are accomplishing for the benefit of
civilisation; for the betterment of the
conditions under which we live; for
the higher standard of living, and
th« lower cost for the comforts and
luxuries which are today demanded as
the rightful heritage of the people who
live In the Twentieth century.
ThV program provides for six days
of activity. On Monday, October 11,
there will be a formal opening of the
fair, at which the ceremonies will
probably include a feature to be par-
ticipated in by Mrs. James E. Fergu-
son, wife of the governor and a wom-
an who has a wide reputation as a
thorough housewife. There will be a
large number of prominent women
from over the State to support and
assist Mrs. Ferguson.
On Monday there will be a parade
lln which there will be a number of
(decorated autoes containing distin-
guished visitors. The various exhibits
-will be in place and there will also
be the first of a series of concerts at
the exposition building.
Tuesday there Is to be a big parade
,of floats depicting the work and
achievements of women, and early in
the afternoon there will be a luncheon
at which there will be many distin-
guished guests.
Wednesday will be “Houston Day,"
when the work of the women In the
[home oity of the Texas Woman’s Fair
prill be featured.
j Thursday la to officially be Galves-
ton Day.
Friday Is to be Children's Day, when
Ithe little folks will be featured. On
mBiHggpagii^ awards ,n the “Better
jgjjtfes” classes will be announced;
Ixnere will be a pageant In which the
- {youngsters will be the whole thing,
and It Is expected that there will be
hundreds of them In the parade.
'"Mere Man” will also be given an
lopportunlty on this day and there will
'be a reception at the bice in his honor
during the evening.
Friday Is also officially known as
Beaumont Day.
Saturday Is to be ‘‘Farmers Day,”
thereby meaning the womgp farmers
of Texas—and there are many of
them.
One of the great exhibits will be a
showing by the College of Industrial
Art*. the big school for girls located
at Danton. There will be a lecturer
to tall of the work of this school,
which is devoted to educating the
girls of Texas In the art and the
selence of becoming n competent
home-maker In every sense of the
work; or, rather, In preparing them to
go out as teachers that they may In-
struct the growing generation of the
requirements of the modern housewife
and home-maker.
The University of Texas will also
haTOi an exhibit which will be an ex-
cellent ohs, and the Rico Institute will
ho reprftented.
The Better Babies show will be held
st the Rltfe hotel, in tho banquet hall,

will be measured the week before the
fair, beginning October 4; the babies
from adjoining towns will be examined
the week of the fair. Prizes will be |
awarded on Friday, which is Chil-
dren’s Day at the fair. For any fur-
ther information desired address Mrs.
Patterson at address given above.
Needlocraft department will consist j
of three divisions, one for exhibits of j
elderly women, one for the Inter-
medlafb or young women, and one for |
the children. This department has
become very, popular with all classes
and ageB of women. Hundreds of ap- J
plications have already been received,
and a large space le allotted to this
department.
Preserves and canned goods depart-
ment takes up a display of the prod-
ucts of woman in these two lines, and I
Includes many beautiful specimens of
fruits and vegetables in canB and jars
and bottles. Mrs. Belle B. Reynaud, j
2108 Brazos street, le chairman, and
assisting her as sub-chairman Is Mrs.
T. K. Dixon.
Domestic science will constitute one J
of the fair’s greatest attractions. The
department has not given Its secret j
away yet, hence a full report can not
bo made, but when the crowds gather
atound the largo nook which tho de
partment will occupy they will find i
worth while and will learn much that
they want to know.

Absolutely Perfect Day la Something
That Depend* on Too Many
Factor*.
There Is a pretty little sentimental
song which begins with the words:
“When you come to the end of a
perfect day.” It relates to true friend-
ship and to an unforgetable Incident,
and It suggests that perfect days are
rare In human experience. Perhaps
they are. For perfect days depend
upon many factors, and some of these
are beyond the control of the indlvld-
hair does not grow and Its roots die.
Just aa grass dies when the soil is
poor. A heavy, hard hat constricts
the blood vessels that nourish the
scalp. Clipping the hair short leaves
Its tender roots at the mercy of the
cold, heat and dust The oil that
exudes from around the roots of the
hairs and keeps them nourished Is
coagulated by the cold and chokes up
the matrix in which the hair Is formed.

God’s second remedy was to glval
Elijah hla word though this time it
suggested reproof. "What doast thou
here?” Elijah la out of place. In re-
ply he begins to rehearse his loyalty
to God, and how bad tha others were
and then in aoeming petulance he
adds, "and they aeek my life.” "I

III. The Result, vv 14-18. As a sov-
ereign remedy God now sets before
Elijah three definite tasks to perform.
Elijah still speaks of his faithfulness
as though the success of The Cause
depended upon him. The man who
assumes that attitude in the work of
God's kingdom will, like Elijah, soon
be set aside. Elijah’s first task was
to avoid Israel and go to Damascus
and "anoint”—set apart for special
service—Hazael (v. 17), who was to
be thq Instrument of punishing Israel.
Hla next task was to find Jehu, the
commander in chief of Ahab’s army,
and set him aside to be the king, not
Immediately but to be In training for
that office.
Elijah’s work Is now not that of fire
and wind, but of the "still small
voloe.” To others Is delegated the
more spectacular tasks which these
typify.
In this connection (▼. 17) those are
strange words, “shall Elisha slay.”
To fully understand them we must be
familiar with that prophet's life and
work, also with that accomplished by
Jahu. (8m II Kings 2:18, 34; Hoi.
6:6. 6; laa. 11:9.)
Elijah’s third task wns to appoint
hla successor and surety no harder
task over oomas to say of us than to

Ages and ages ago this huge beast, the
Dinosaur, roamed the earth.
He took up a great deal of room and con-
sumed too much food.
He could not meet changing conditions and
so passed away.
That ability to note changing conditions is
the secret of permanency and success. You
can see it in our business.
We owe a great part of our steadily growing
sales and the permanency with which cus-
tomers stand by* us, to our ability to meet
conditions.

improvements keeps us in a position where
we can supply you with a
Texaco Lubricant
which is the right oil for the right place,
at any time.
If you are using heavy, slow-moving ma-
chinery, we have a sturdy lubricant to re-
duce the friction and save wear.
If you are using superheated steam, we
have a Texaco Cylinder Oil intended for
just that service.
If your machines are exposed to cold, we
can meet THAT difficulty, and so on
through an endless list of requirements.
Try any one—or, better yet—the line of
Texaco Engine and Machine Oils, Texaco
Cylinder Oils, and Texaco Greases.
You will see why our business keeps grow-
ing.
