This lifeboat service meant good deal
to Miss Cole and her little girl charges
on their Journey.
They were. of course. given the usual
escort from city to city. and graciously
submitted to the infiiction, and fed and
paid the escorts cheerfully, but when it
came to the lifeboats they found them on
one occasion of real service.
They made the trip through the ia
miles of rapids with safety until they
came to the last few miles above Ichang-
There, when the natural dangers of the
journey seemed almost over. in the very
early morning, after their boat had. start
/ ed on the daylight travel, and while Miss
Cole and the little ones were still asleep,
they were caught in the rapids and
whirIed against the rocks. 1t was at
point about forty-five miles above
Ichang, where junk after junk has been
smashed to matchwood. but their light

hole stove in the bottom, sinking with
everything, and Miss Cole and the lit

The Watermelons of Texas.

This from Brownsville, Texas,
tells its own story, and though 1t
lis short one, it is good: Four
crates of cantaloupes and one of
tomatoes, the first to have been
shipped from here this season, went
out this morning. Regular ship
ments will begin in q few days.
The quality is very good. And
this from San Antonio makes a
nice companion story: Thirty
FIVE cents a melon is the initial
price Texas farmers are receiving
for the first of the great watermelon
crop, which last year reached a
total of some 1000 cars and some
thing over 100000 melons. y

that are almost unlimited. If he

can raise another, and if he wants
to raise everything he can do that.

Convicts and State Farms.

The utilization of convict labor
is a matter of grave import in Tex
as. It promises to be an issue in
the present state campaign. Farm
and Ranch is not a political organ
and does not seek to NEEDLE with
political affairs. As representa-
tive of the agricultural interests OF
the state, however, it does desire
to point out that farmers should be
free from the competition of convict
labor. It has been the policy OF
the state to work a considerable
number of its 1000 convicts on
cotton farms operated on shares or
under state control, thus increasing
the acreage and production of
cotton, even when every farmers
organization in the country was
seeking to curtail the crop. That
the convicts could be employed to
good financial advantage in manu-
featuring enterprises in the prison
walk is not denied, but the cry
against competition with free labor
prevents it. Why should the
farmer receive less consideration
than the day laborer? There are
thousands of miles of public roads
in Texas on which the conviCts
might be we'll employed; there are
scores of trustmade products sold
in Texas which could be manu-
featured by prisoners and sold at
cheaper rates to the people-such,
for instance, as school furniture,
which is practically all made IN
northern states and sold in Texas
at exorbitant prices. 1t scarcely
appears just consideration is given
to the farm people by continuing
the present system of state farms
in order that other classes of labor
may be protected from competi-
tion.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

As the boy agreed they fell to

that the youngster could eat no

DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.

WHY not hold the various dis
trect conventions in Brownsville.
This city has never had a conven-
ton, in fact has never asked for
one. The congressional, senate
rial, judicial and legislative con-
ventions must all be held on the
same day, according to the new
election law, and as the twenty-five
counties composing this congress
sional district include the other
three, the list of delegates would
not be larger than this city could
accommodate easily. The senate
rial district is composed of the
counties of Cameron, Hidalgo,
Starr, Zapata, Nueces, San Pa
tricio, La Sale, McMullen, Dim
nit, Webb and Duval; the Judicial
includes the counties of Cameron
Hidaigo, Starr. Duval and Nueces,
and the legislative is composed Of
Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr and Ia
pata counties. The law provide:
that these conventions be held OF
the fourth Saturday in August
aud if Brownsville desires that the,
be held here, the matter should b,
attended 10 without delay.
