great seal of the state.
Secretary of State Higgins was in

had only the most forlorn hope that
Simpson would be chosen. Not five

Perkins was the man.
Secretary Smith sent for the secre-

The commission was presented to him.
He read it carefully and reluctantly

people for q long time attempted to take care OF
themselves but finally. last April, the destitution
became so great That they were compelled to make
known their condition and ask for help Laredo.
Austin, San Antonio and Corpus Christi responded BY
sending liberal donations but further help is urgently
needed. No crops can be raised this year. and the

A similar state Of destitutoo exists also In The
