NOW FOR KINGSVILLE
Dr. Allison, president of the
Commercial Club, has issued a
call for a meeting of the mem-
bership with the immediate pur-
pose of getting a large and rep-
resent aive delegation to the
convention of the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce at Lare-
do, there to push forward the
work started by a similar dele-
gation to the Brownsville meet-
ing of that organization a year
ago when the endorsement of
Kingsville’s plan to add certain
technical courses to the curricu-
lum of the South Texas State
Teachers College was secured.
It is to be hoped, now that the
task of saving the country has
been completed, the World Se-
ries forgotten, and the appetite
for football somewhat satiated,
that we can get together at Dr.
Allison’s call to work, to the end
that our plan shall, through the
aid of the South Texas Cham-
ber, receive the approval of the
Legislature in the form of the
necessary appropriations.
The last monthly luncheon of
the club was called off, due, in
part, to the fact that the speaker
arranged for, found himself un-
able to keep the appointment,
and part to the fact that there
was very little local interest
shown.
The College expansion pro-
gram is of vital importance and
will have first call, but other
questions, chief among them the
road problem, must be worked
out.
These Commercial Club meet-
ings were arranged for the pur-
pose of getting a cross-section of
public opinion of questions
which might be within the scope
of chamber of commerce work.

and then the rest of us will be
back where we started. We can
either buy the power from them
at their price, or we can do the
work by hand.
One of the church bulletins,
published in Dallas, made the
following interesting declara-
tion: “The ladies of this church
have cast off clothing of all
kinds. They may be seen in the
basement of the church any af-
ternoon this week.” No particu-
lars were given as to the attend-
ance.

YEAR ROUND SYSTEM OF CULL-
ING
A flock of eighty liens thai cost
$7.40 to feed during the month of
September produced enough eggs to
supply two families and bring $30.52
in cash for the surplus is a record
made by Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Nall on
tlie L. N. Vigness flock in Cameron
county. Over a period of seven
months the flock produced eggs
enough to supply the two families ami
bring $232.37. The feed for that peri-
od cost $105.20. This is one of the
demonstration flocks in Cameron
county where the year round culling
system is used.
The Kio Grande Valley Poultry Ex-
change is purchasing feed, half a car
per week, co-operatively, at a saving
of from 50 cents to 75 cents per 100
pounds on mash. The exchange is
also purchasing other poultry feeds
at a saving. The exchange is using
the ration as published by the A. <Y
M. College.

Keeping Up With Life
“When you turn n sudden corner nnd
me-t yourself a gain’ the other way
hit's plumb certain that one of you
is a headin' the wrong direction."—
Preachin’ Dill.
A doctor left a thermometer with
the wife of a patient and told her to
take her husband’s temperature ev-
ery hour ami to call him if he got any
worse. When he returned to the house
iu the morning the patient was miss-
ing and the doctor asked what had
happened.
“1 broke the thermometer,” said the
woman, “so I used the barometer. It
registered ‘very dry,’ so 1 gave him
about a pint of corn liquor, and I
swear, he got up and went out and
went to plowing in the hack field.”—

It uot so different from the rest of
us. Most of us are bothered more or
less because the world is so much old-
er today than it was yesterday.
No matter how hard we try to keep
up we seem to be always behind. We
are always wishing Life would wait a
minute. If Life would 'only stand
still we might catch up with it.
But Life doesn’t stand still; it never
has and never will. And from start to
finish Life always leads. Bide our-
selves as hard as we may—lay on the
whip of necessity, ply the spurs of am-
bition—Life runs always more than a
length ahead. Mr. Casual Observer
says: “There are a few fast ones
nowadays.” But the fastest steppers
that ever raced on the track of time
ran always at the tail of Life. Catch
up with Life? Never! 1 tell you, It
is impossible. The race Is fixed. Why,
we can’t even catch up with ourselves.
And, between you and me, it may he
a good thing that the race Is fixed for
Life to win. 1 guess it Is a good
thing, too, that we can’t even catch
up with ourrolvos. I don’t know about
you, but speaking for myself 1 have
more than a suspicion that if I ever
should succeed in catching up with
myself I would be sure to make one
jump too many and leave myself be-
hind.
Yes, the world is older than it was
when our great-great-grandparents
were training us for our race with

Being a Review of Historical Facts
Which Make the Beginnings of'
? Things Worthy of Remembrance
SOME BEGINNINGS
1528- The shipwreck of some Span-
ish sailors in the Gulf of Mexico put
the first white font on Texas soil.
1682—On and before this remote
date Spanish adventurers sought the
reputed Seven Cities of Gold, lying
far to the north. Their route lay by
way of El Paso del Norte the Pass
Through the North. Ysleta. the old-
est place in Texas- 243 years old.
1085- LaSalle, the French explorer,
by a storm landed on Texas soil on al-
most the same spot where the Span-
ish landed more than a century and a
half before. Murdered by his own
men. His adventures served to stir
the Spanish in Mexico into action.
1G90—Capt. De Leon builds his
Mission on the Neelies River, and at
the same time the Louisiana French
began bartering with the Indians of
East Texas.
171G—Spanish begin tlie construc-
tion of their wonderful chain of mis-
sions, erecting the first where Nacog-
doches now stands.
1718- San Antonio is founded by
the building of the Alamo, one of that
mighty chain of fortress churches.
1762- Texas ceded to Spain by vir-
tue of La Salle’s daring explorations.
1803- The Territory of Louisiana
purchased by the United States. From'
this date Texas began to Americanize.
1821- Mexico wins her independence
from Spain and American colonization
sets in. Moses Austin, of Missouri,
makes the first move. Upon his early
death, his gigantic scheme is carried
out by his son, Stephen Austin.
1835- 36—Mighty battles for Texas
Independence are fought on such fields
as the Alamo, Goliad and San Jacinto,
out of which freedom is born.
1836- 46—Texas becomes a growing
Republic.
1846- Texas is admitted as a sover-
eign State of the Union.
1861 Texas joins the Southern Con-
federacy.
