Organized Runners to Take Message
From New Works. Mayor to Chiea-
COS Mayor-start to 30 Made at City

What will be without doubt the long
est organized relay race against time
is that proposed by the boys depart

Clellan and receive a message from
him at the door, drop his dressing
gown and make the first lap Of the
thousand mile run. One mile up
Broadway the second rune will await
him to seize the message and speed on.
At every milepost up to Yonkers,
N. r. a boy will be ready to leap for
ward. Judges will accompany the run
ners and pick them up as they com
plete their sprints until the Yonkers
boys take the message to bear on
northward. Then the New York city
contingent will come back to the city
in q procession Of automobiles.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton physical directors along the road

The race will be conducted day and
night up to Saturday, July IS, at Il

2 o'clock Monday morning, July 20
While the race will probably be ru1
in less than six days, the leaders d.
not propose to have it extend into thu
Sabbath through any unforeseen de

The scheme, which IS attracting at
tention all over the country, was frs
suggested by the boys secretary a

According to the Corpus Christi pa
pers, the Driscoll ranch, one of the
best known properties in Nueces
county, has been contracted for sale
in small tracts to homseekers. This
ranch, belongs to Robert Driscoll,
who has been prominently associated
with South Texas ranch interests the
greater part of his life. 1t has gained
some fame. not only as the hospitable
home of Mr.. Driscoll and his family.
but as the scene or the novel, 1.-The
Girl of La Gloria which was writ

er, Clara Driscoll, now Mrs. Hal Sc
vier of New York The Caller of Sat

"A deal was consummated last night

Gated about sixteen miles west of this

MISLEADING ARGUMENT

Our republican friends in this dis
trict are endeavoring industriously
to spread the impression among the
voters that this district and the state
of Texas at large need republican
representatives in congress in oredr
to secure financial help from the fed
eral treasury for public improve
ments. the inference being that the
speakers are under the impression
that Texas receives no assistance from
the federal government to speak of,
because its representatives in con-
gress are democrats. Now, the fact
is, Texas has received very generous
aid from congress for coast improve
ments, as much indeed as almost any
other state on the coast, excepting
those which have very large and i'm
portant ports. The republican ad-
ministrations under which thecountry
has lived for so long have not been
4ullc ~ UNJUST anu AdAAON 40 Jul
friends would paint them. The
speakers who make these pleas for
democratic votes do not seem to
realize in what an unfavorable light
they are placing their party by claim
ing that only republicans can feed at
the public crib. And when it comes
to applying such advice to the IF
teenth district, it sounds absurd, for
Congressman Garner is noted
throughout Texas as the best man in
congress from this state in the mat
ter of securing appropriations for
his district The fifteenth received
larger appropriations than an yother
district in Texas at the hands of the
last congress, and it can hardly hope
to find a man who will guard its
interests any better than John Gar
ner. Indeed, the republicans them
selves admit that il would be a mis-
take to retire SO useful a man as
Garner and put in his stead man
who is an utter stranger to the duties
OF congressman, who has never
served his state in any public capaci-
ty whatever. 1t is generally &C
knowledged that new man in con-
gress is almost a nonentity. and has
hard time learning the way to do
things in that body And when it
comes to a proposition to retire
young, active and intelligent man
like Garner, and one who has sue
ceeded so eminently as he has for one
who is already old in years without
any experience whatever in public
matters. any person of ordinary rea-
soning ability must admit that it
would be a foolish thing to do. So,
all things considered, our republican
friends appear. to be spending time,
money and oratory in an endeavor
to place the district at a actual dis
advantage. Their arguments may ap-
peal to those who are strangers in
this region, but to those who are
posted they appear in their true light.

Farmers who attempt to make ir-
rigation take the place of cultivation
make great mistake and one which
will in the end prove very costly.
Water is merely intended to dissolve
the plant nutriment that is held in
the soil and enable the roots of the
plant to imbibe it. Too much water
dilutes this plant food to excess and
actually defeats the very objects for
which irrigation is applied. It only
requires moderate amount of wat-
er, with a considerable amount OF
cultivation-or what the old time
darkies used to call elbow grease"
to make crops, and the results of
these in the lower Rio Grande Valley
more than repay the effort.
