Superiority OF Texas Recruits

superiority vi texas heGfuilS.
Sergeant Major E. j. Sharpe Of
Fort Brown furnished THE HERALI
the following interesting informa-
ton of facts relating to the war de-
partment and the recruits from
Texas:
There were 1885 enlistments
made for the army during the twelve
months ending with Oct. 81, 1903,
of which 415 were enlisted in the
State Of Texas, outside of the army
posts. The month having the great
est number OF enlistments, 1917, for
October, 1903, which showed a gain
of 105 over the corresponding month
of 1902. Texas furnished the largest
army with SO recruits in the month
of March, which was a gain over
the corresponding month of 1902 OF
Just II recruits. The total gain for
the year over the corresponding
twelve months preceding, in theen
tire United States was 2044 and for
Texas it shows a gain of 1872 From
this it is deduced that Texas is in
creasing her material support OF the
army, and the national government
is not slow in acknowledging this
fact.
he war department has also rec
ognized the fact that soldiers re-
cruited from the rural districts Of
Texas, are in many ways superior
to those obtained from the cities,
and in a less degree are to be pre-
ferred as against the same class of
recruits from other States. To this
end the department has decided to
canvass the rural districts of South
and Southwestern Texas in vigor-
Gus manner for the next few months,
to the extent of visiting towns along
the Arkansas Pass and the Mexican
National railroads, as we'll as the
more populous centers in the In
terror. An advance agent will leave
Fort Brown within a few days to
convert as many citizens into SOL
diers as possible. At present enlist
ments will be made especially for
Fort Brown, but in exceptional
cases, men may be enlisted for
mounted service as may best suit
their particular qualifications, or
for service elsewhere in the United
States as the needs of the service
NAV require,

Don't Be Discouraged.

It's always darkest just before the
dawn; most sultry before the coolest
shower; you're always hungriest just
before the dinner bell rings; and the
most tired just before bedtime. And
you are just as likely to be the most
discouraged just before things come
your way. The tide must go out as
far as it can before it begins to come
in. So don't give up at this time.
