San Benito, Texas, July 23.-One
day last week in honor of the birth
day of their little son and their friend
Mr. ]. H. Lehman which by coinci-
.dence. occur the same day, Mr.and Mrs.
F. C. Van Ness gave a birthday party.
The dinner was a feast indeed and de-
lighted both of the recipients, who no
doubt and especially in the case of lit

came once a week instead of once a
year.
Those who participated in this
event were Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ness.
Mr.. Tolbert and son, Misses Ethel and
Lola Van Ness, Master Frank Van

To The Herald:
San Benito, Texas, July 2S.-Har-
vesting is now on at San Benito in
full blast, that is, among the many
things that are ready to harvest at
this time of the year.
The latter include sorghum, alfal-
ia, melons, several kinds of hay and
many kinds of forage crops. This is
really as you might term it, the work
accomplished in San Benito's infant
year, and it is really something that
any place on the globe could be
proud Of That the land here in this
Rio Grande valley is capable of grow
ing these things is nothing new of
course, and the world at large has
been slowly but surely learning this
fact of late, but the fact to be proud
of here is the short space of time
that this has been accomplished in.
San Benito, at this time last year
had hardly more than began to sell
land, and here year later her enter
prising farmers are selling their har-
vests. In addition to the crops men
toned above, that are being harvest
ed, there are in the immediate vicini-
ty about twelve hundred acres of cot
ton, and at least five hundred acres of
corn that are in a most fiouristSing
and beautiful condition, but which

some few weeks yet.
Clint Haywood, the brother of
President Alba Haywood, of the San
Benito Co., has come to the San Be

down on some of this fine Rio Grande
valley land. Mr. Haywood has al
ready selected 40 acres which he will
Immediately get in condition for
fall crop, and on which he will build
a residence. He viii be Joined later
by his wife, who at present is in
Louisiana. He was accompanied TO
San Benito by H. D. Smith, son of
Judge Smith of Franklin, La, and
both are guests OF Mr Alba HeyN Oh
Mr.. Smith did not come with the fixed
idea of staying, but seems very much
pleased with San Benito and it is pos
sible that he may remain here.
The headworks of the canal here
are nearing completion very fast. CT
the two miles and half Of canal that
had to be dug to connect up the great
gravity scheme of Chief Engineer
Sam Robertson, only about thouand
feet remain uncompleted, which is
hardly more than a months work for
the great dredge that is working on
It.

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many Brownsville Household VIII
Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying. dangerous urin-

any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell
how this great change can be brought

hundreds of Brownsville readers.
Mrs. T. o. Shinn of 800 Capital

just as glad to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills today as l was in 1892,
when they cured me of a bad attack
of kidney backache and lameness.

LAND OWNERS SHOULD
ACT.

That some organized action should
be taken by the land owners of this
section in regard to the vitality i'm
portant matter of drainage, need
hardly be pointed out by The Herald
again. Every intelligent land owner
in this section knows it already. In
deed, it has been stated that the
members of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley Commercial club, which has
already undertaken various useful
moves for the benefit of this section,
would take up this matter and en-
deavor to set on foot some definite
plan for the Inauguration of a
thorough drainage system for this
section, to be used conformity with the
immense irrigation systems that are
being launched here one after anoth-
er. So far, however, nothing has
been done except to talk of it. Talk
is, of course necessary, in order to
get a move started, but action is the
only thing that will do the work.
The Herald would call the atten-
ton fthe land men to a letter from
a prominent Chicagoan, published
elsewhere in The Herald todays in
which he also calls attention to this
very urgent matter. AS the writer
of the said letter says, it is of exceed
ing Importance that the land own
ers act promptly and effectively.
A live drainage convention, at
which nothing else should be dis
cussed but drainage should be held
by the Lower Rio Grande Valley land
owners at as early a date as possible,
and some plan be devised for the es-
Establishments of drainage districts in
this section The Herald would sug-
gest that such convention be held
in this city at as carly date as pos
sible, and immediate steps taken to
inaugurate an educational campaign
on the drainage question. The best
interests of this section may be jeop-
ardized by further delay in this mat
ter.

The fact that Bryan is the choice
of the masses of his party for presi-
dent, while Taft is the choice of the
retiring president stares the latter's
party in the face and is hard to get
around. There are probably few
who doubt that, if it were left to the
popular vote, without any coercion of
party or corporation. or political
maneuvering, the Nebraskan would
be overwhelmingly elected president.

Here's a Golden Girl, Indeed.

Laura White, of San Francisco.
expects to become the richest woman
in the world. After several years of
prospecting she has discovered gold
vein in Nevada, and now is directing
mining operations personally. The
pluck and thoroughness that have
made woman so successful against
men in the world of work tell the
story Of Miss Whites winning of
wealth. She saw nothing in future
asa clerk In San Francisco office, so
she studied mineralogy and struck
out into the Nevada mountains. She
met the disappointlnents that seem
to come to every prospector, but her
confidence never waned. and finally
she marked down gold vein on a
mountainside that had been searched
by scores of men. She filed her claim
and was ready for work before news
of her rich find reached the public,
and when men rushed in to stake out
claims 1t was found the young woman
had obtained control of every square
foot Of promising ground. Miss
White directs the work of a large
force of miners, and 1t is said that
when below ground she wears mems
clothes.-New York Press.

Open Windows in Bedroom.

The bedroom windows should be
opened at night as wide as possible,
top or bottom, even in the coldest
weather. 1t is not always best for
person to lie in draft, yet some
doctors contend that no one ever
caught cold through sitting or lying
in draft. A screen will provide the
necessary protection, If the bed can
not be moved to a sheltered position.
The bed itself should stand free from
the wall at least at night, permitting
a free circulation of air around it.
A scarf about the head If one is
oversensitive, will give the necessary
protection In the coldest weather. If
there be an open fireplace in the room
it will aid greatly in ventilation, so
be sure the chimney is open and free
from SCOT. 1t seems almost unneces-
sary to say that one should sleep with
the head uncovered. The breathing
of fresh air into the lungs is a great
aid in warming the body. and assists
every organ in performing its func-
ton.
These organs are all working dur
Ing the night as during the day and

She Wanted a Queer Flower.

One of the cleverest girls in New

she hears the name of Octave Mir
beau, the Paris playwright, for 1t
reminds ner of an occasion on which
she betrayed ignorance of one of the
simplest Of agricultural products.
She went with her chaperon and
several friends to the authors Cor
meilles house to see the gardens, of
which he is prouder than Of his play
writing ability. One of the first
things that caught her eye was bed
of green plants tipped with red. The
contrast appealed to her esthetic
sense, and she gushed little, just
the least bit in the world. Indicat-
ing the parterre with the tip of her
parasol, she cried, what lovely
things they are! You must send me
some of the flowers when they bloom,
dear M. Mirbeau." To which, with a
laugh, the builder of comedies re-
turned, You may have to wait some

Temper Told by the Hair.

Girls with blue eyes and straw-col-
ored hair generally have a far calmer
and happier life, as a rule, than those
with big dark eyes and olive COM
plexions.
The fair girl is almost sure to be
level headed in her love affairs, and
to make a sensible marriage, but she
will be much more fclle than the
dark girl, because her feelings will
not be so deep and passionate
Dark girls are more emotional;
love means so much to them that
their feeling is deeper and more last
ing than the love OF fair girls, or so
the learned in such matters say.
Brunette women make very loving
and demonstrative mothers, but they
do not understand discipline. Fair
women train their children best fer
a prosaic and every day life.
1t IL said that fair children arc
easier to bring up than dark ones, as
their ailments are Less likely TO be
