The legislature accepted the State
parks that have been donated by the
people of the various counties, the
result of the parks campaign made
hy Governor Neff and the Park Com-
missioners, but in accepting the parks
the Legislature declined the appro,
priate the $r>0,000 asked for to be
used in, their improvement. The pro.
position has not been disposed of
finally, however, and can be brought
up again at this session, if the Legis-
lature is so inclitvcd. In order that
he Legislature may know the senti-
I ment of their constituent' in, this im-
portant matter, Stale Chairman D. E.
Colp of the Parks Commission has
called on the county chairmen to get
petitions signed by the people of their
respective counties and forward them
without delay to their representatives
in the Legislature. Mrs. C. W. Hellen
is the county chairman of Jim Hogg
County and The News believes she
will find the sentiment of the people
of this county strongly in favor of
I the meager appropriation asked for
Jim Hogg County has not yet exactly
donated a park, but will do so as
soon as certain slight differences are
disposed of.

HOUSTON’S GREAT FUTURE
I
While Dallas and Fort Worth will
continue to grow as commercial cerw |
tors and Sun Antonio as a <|uaint
residence city, Houston is destined >
to become the greatest city in all
the South, passing New Orleans and
all other cities now with greater pop-
ulation It is railroads and not water
that make ports and Houston has
the railways leading from all direc-
tions. Besides, Houston is close to
the great oil fields und it is hut
a question of time utitil some large
natural gas field will supply an abun-
dance of cheap fuel for manufac-
turing. Already Houston has n low
rate for electric juice—five cents per
kilowat against ten cents charged in
Sun Antonio. Houston also has the
cheapest water in Texas hy all odds,
fifteen cents per 1000 gallons. All
these items enter into the manufac-
turing problem and go to make Hous.
ton great. The oil industry already
has placed many millions of dollars
in the hank vaults of Houston and
this cash is loaned for development
purposes. The fact that the adver-
tising clubs of the world are to meet
in Houston in May has given that
city an enormous amount of good ad.
vertising. Incidentally, all Texas will
come in for some of the benefits of
this convention. The delegates will
receive invitation# to visit all the
larger cities in the State and they
will probably take a trip across the
Rio Grande at Brownsville and Lare-
do. The men of Europe are not
like camels. They must quench their
thirst at frequent intervals.

Mr. Ambrose Johnson is one of I
Laredo’s successful onion growers,)
buts most of his business is in ship-
ping onion slips, his trade extending
to many different sections of the
country. Mr. Johnson has a unique |
way of advertising his product and
each crate of onion slips he sends out
has on it this label:
On the Banks of the Rio Grunde.
Where the Rest Onions Grow.
JOHNSON’S BETTER BERMUDAS.
Grown In Laredo.
/ Grown Right. '
Shipped Right,
There Are Right.
Mr. Johnson changes his form of
advertising each year, hut this is the
form he is using this year. He has
already shipped out many thousands
of slips this season and says the in-
creasing demand for his slips is suf-
ficient proof of ther merit. In the
past two weeks Mr. Johnson has been
shipping out his onion slips in car-
load lots, some cars going to East
Texas and other to Oklahoma.
