500 sacEs this week
What is claimed for this rice Is that IL is
more than twice ns prolific as domestic rice
and that three times more acreage can be
covered than with an equal amount OF do
nestle. In fact those ordering Honduras
rice should send for instructions or they
Will be sure to SOW II too thick. AT pres
ont il is selling for $50 per sack, which
weighs 162 pounds. Every rice planter In
Texas should give IL a trisi.

WELCOME FOR TEDDY.
All the Washington Officials Warmly Welcome
Gov. Roosevelt Back Again.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-GOv.
Theodore Roosevelt was most warmly
greeted by all officials in Washington,
from the President down. and including
Secretary Alger. when he returned Sat-
urday for the first time since he left for
the war last year. He came with Mrs.
Roosevelt to rest until tomorrow night,
as guest of Senator and Mrs. Lodge,
and went with Senator Lodge to the
White House, where President Nc
Kinley received him most cordially
and they exchanged compliments and
congratulations on the war and-its re-
suits.
Then he went up to the Senate with
Senator Lodge and for. an hour and
half availed himself as governor, OF
his privilege to remain on the floor
during the session, which he had never
been able to do before, and in that
time nearly every senator of all parties
came up to shake hands with him and
say complimentary things. He had his
longest talk with Senator Platt, and
while this was going on, Secretary AL
ger. who had come up to suggest some
minor amendment to the army bill, APP
preached them, and. after briefly greet
ing Gov. Roosevelt. talked about the
bill with Senator Platt.
Later in the afternoon, Gov. Roosevelt
had a great time at the navy department.
where he called to pay his respects to
Secretary Long and Assistant Secretary
Allen. After he had had pleasant inter-
views with them he had to shake hands
with many naval officers and department
officials and clerks. who had gathered in
the reception room to make a demonstra-
tion in his honor.
Gov Roosevelt evidently greatly ell
ioyed revisiting the scenes where he
helped Secretary Long prepare so effec-
lively for the war. He took occasion to
congratulate Secretary Long and Assist
ant Secretary Allen on the good work of
the department and the achievements OF
the navy. Then he went over and for
mally paid his respects to Secretary AL
ger. who received him kindly, and talked
with him for Is minutes. and also called
on Secretary Hay
Gov. Roosevelts personal popularity
always great in the state, war and navy
departments, was never more apparent
than today, and he was made very happy
