be Of paramount interest to every
citizen Of this section. Mr. Barnes
submitted a proposition to the
Board Of Trade this afternoon, for
maintaining an Office in Corpus
Christi, of which he will be in
charge, for the purpose of inducing
visitors, prospectors and home
seekers to come to this section Of
the Brownsville country. It's well
know that many prospectors are
stopped before this locality is reach
ed, and Mr.. Barnes proposition
has been for the purpose of Undue
ing these visitors to come all the
way. THE HERALD hopes some
arrangement may be made for
opening and maintaining an Office
of this kind, where products of
this section may be displayed
with a thoroughly competent man
in charge, who will be able to set
forth the merits of this vicinity to
the best advantage. The cost would
be only nominal and the benefits
to be derived would more than re-
pay any outlay that would be nee
essary. If the Board of Trade
wants to write its name high up
on the scroll of fame, now is the
opportunity.

From o. p. Archer, who was a
pleasant caller at THE HERALD
Office today we learn that Van A.
Webster, of San Antonio, who has
been at the Buena Vista Truck
farm since Friday, returned home
yesterday morning. Mr.. Webster
is interested in the Buena Vista,
and was the guest of o. p. Archer,
manager, during his stay. Mr..
Webster will handle a large guam
tity of onions this season, as in adj
dition to his own crop, he will also
handle the Garlic Springs crop,
which was successfully handled by
McDavitt Bros. last season. Mr..
Archer tells us that everything is
in splendid shape on the Buena
Vista farm. There are about twenty
FIVE acres in tomatoes, and a nice
acreage in potatoes, besides all
other kinds of vegetables, which
would do you good to look at.
You are somewhat of a chump if
you don't get a machine-now.

me about il, and l guarantee con-
viction or money refunded.

THE HERALD man enjoyed a |
very pleasant visit to the Demon
,tration farm yesterday afternoon,
by courtesey OF A. d. childress,
The manager. We found every
thing growing luxuriantly. Onions,
potatoes, celery, cucumbers, straw
berries, watermelons and young
orange orchard are some of the
attractive features of this farm, and
all are doing nicely. The onions
are beginning to bulb and a very
short time Of warm sunshine will
fit them for market. Another fea-
ture is the alfalfa plat which has
been cut once and IS making rapid
leaps in a second growth. The
farm seems TO be in magnificent
shape and great results are expect
ed from it, which THE HERALD
hopes will be more than realized.

WITH world wide empire to defend,
Great Britain has found it heavy bur-
den to maintain it's military posts and is
showing disposition to concentrate its
troops at the empires most vulnerable
points of attack. In pursuit of this pol
icy, it has withdrawn its North Atlantic
squadron from American waters and has
abandoned it's policy of surrounding the
United States with chain of fortresses.
This change of attitude of Great Britain
is hailed as an evidence of friendship to
the United States and is taken as evil
dence that it deems war with the repub-
lie out Of the question.

AFTER long period OF silence, the at
fairs of Mrs. Cassie L Chadwick are
once more before the public. This time
the referee in bankruptcy talks. He
says the assets Of his petticoated tinan.
cier amount to $4,000, but the court
costs and attorneys fees amount to
$1O300 which will leave about S14,rO0 to
be divided among her creditors. AS her
liabilities are about S2,OtO,0OO there will
be a dividend of about three-fourths OF
a cent on the dollar for the creditors.
That is pretty rough on the credulous
people who gave her hundreds of thous-
ands OF dollars on her mere verbal state
ments that she had millions at her com
mand' But, while this winds up the
financial side of her fraudulent trans
actions, one wonders what has become
OF the criminal aspect of the case. Is
she to go unpublished that she may prey
upon new troop OF credulous get-rich-
quick people?

TIOCAT, unions of the American SOcie

LOCAL unions of the American Society
of Equity are being formed through the
tobacco producing sections Of this state.
While this society proposes to secure
profitable prices for all the products of
the farm, the tobacco growers are be-
coming better organized than any other
class, and have become so strong in Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Virginia that they
have succeeded in increasing the prices
considerably. They are to meet in ma
tional convention in Greensboro, Ken
lucky, beginning the 18th of October
and continuing in session three days,
The delegates to this convention viii set
a scale of prices on each class aid grade
of tobacco and will formulate plans to
hold the tobacco comparatively until the
recommended prices are secured. Dane
county has arranged for a meeting to
appoint delegates to the convention and
the tobacco growers of Wisconsin should
be represented by their best men.

These Dog Days.

In August when the skies are fair and
heat and dust are in the air, it's nice to
seek some shady nook with pipe, tobacco
and book, and read and smoke and
Loaf and doze and let the flies crawl UP
your nose, or rest down in some shady
dell where the mosquitoes bite like blazes!
It's nice to take your hook and line, and
then pretend the fishing's fine, and down
beside some forest stream, lie lazily and
rest and dream. This lying by some
stream, you'll find, is of safe and
harmless kind-beside the lying you will
hatch about the fish you didn't catch.
