THE JUNCTION EAGLE
PAGE THREE.
SOME STATE?
)
v
Ft. Worth Star-Telegram:
Texas occupies all the conti-
nent of North America except
a small part set aside for the
United States and Canada.
Texas owns all north of the Rio
Grande, the only dusty river in
the world; also the only one,
with the^ possible exception of
the Trinity, which is navigable
for mud cats and pedestrians.
Texas is bounded on the north
by twenty-five or thirty States,
on the east by all the oceans in
the world except the Pacific,
and on the south by the Gulf of
Mexico and South America, and
on the West by the Pacific
Ocean, the milky way and the
sidereal universe.
If Texas were chopped loose
from the rest of the United
States and the Panhandle, it
would float out into the ocean,
as it rests upon a vast subter-
ranean sea of fresh water.
Texas is so big that the peo-
ple of Brownsville call the peo-
ple of Dallas Yankees, and the
citizens of El Paso sneer at the
citizens of Texarkana, Texas as
being snobs from the effete
East.
It is 150 miles farther from
El Paso, Texas, to Texarkana,
Texas, than it is from Chicago
to Newr York. Fort Worth is
nearer to St. Paul, Minn., than it
is to Brownsville.
The United States with Texas
off would look like a three-leg-
ged Boston terrier.
Texans are so proud of Texas
that they cannot sleep at night
If a Texan’s head should be
opened the map of Texas would
be found photographed on his
brain. This is also true of his
heart. Unless your front gate j
is eighteen miles from youn
front door you do not belong to
society as constituted in Texas. |
Mrs. King’s gate is one hundred ;
and fifty miles from her front
door and she is thinking of mov-1
ir.g her house back so she will
not be annoyed by passing au-
tomobiles and peddlers.
Other Texas landlords have
whole mountain ranges and rivr
ers on their ranches. One Tex-
an has forty miles of navigable
rivers on his farm. If the pro-
portion of cultivated land in
Texas were the same as in Illin-
ois the value of Texas crops
would equal that of forty-seven
other states.
Texas has enough land to sup-
ply every man, woman and child
in the world with a tract of five
feet by twenty-five feet, and
have enough left over for the
armies of the world to march
around the border five abreast.
Texas grows enough alfalfa,
which, if baled and built into a
stair case, would reach the pear-
ly gates.
If all the hogs in Texas were
one big hog, he would be able
to dig the Panama Canal in
three roots.
If all Texas steers were one
big steer, he would stand with
his front feet in the Gulf of
Mexico, one hind fbot in the
Hudson Bay and the other in
the Artie Ocean, and with his
tail brush the mists from the
Aurora Borealis. Some State!
O. J, Camp, who ranches on
North Llano, had a number of
his fine goats on exhibit at the
Mason County Fair and won as
follows: 2nd on aged buck; 1st
on yearling buck, buck kid and
aged doe; 2nd on aged and
Grand Champion buck. This
was Mr. Camp’s first entry at a
fair.
