COMMERCE CHAMBER WILL RESUME ITS
 PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
BOARD AT MEETING DECIDES TO ADVERTISE IN NEWSPAPERS
 OF EASTERN CITIES.
FOLLOW UP SYSTEM IS PLANNED AND CAMPAIGN BEGINS FOR
 GREATER DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS. Oct. 7.-(speciaL)-
 At their meeting yesterday evening the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Mines showed that the true spirit of municipal activity is neither dead nor dormant for steps were taken towards an active adver- Using campaign which will rebound in benefit to the city.
 It will be remembered that late last winter and early last spring the Chamber of Commerce ran advertis- ing matter in several of the eastern and middle western papers and that from those advertisements several hundreds of answers were received. The advertisements were not of the hot air variety, of the claim all type, but in plain and conservative Ian- guage set forth some of the advant- ages which Douglas has to offer to the home maker and told something of the certain future of the young Shelter City.
 New Publicity Campaign.
 The plan of the board as outlined at its meeting yesterday contemp ates renewal of such an advertising campaign in the east and middle west but goes further and includes a follow up system which is necessary for the success of any advertising proposition. Advertisements which stick to the facts, the only kind of advertising which can bring results are to be inserted in papers where it is believed results are certain to be obtained. The answers which are re- ceived will be tabulated, filed and in dexed, each will be answered and in addition to this the enquirers will. from ttme to time be sent copies eg the local papers as an index of the continuing growth and progress of the city.
 By this system it is believed that there will shortly be seen an absence of vacant store rooms, that desirable dwelling houses will be so few that the building of others will be requir- ed' and that the happy and prosper ous population of the city will be in- creased by the score and by the hun dred

Trend is Westward.

All through the east and middle. west there is constantly growing stream of families flowing ever to- wards the west. Douglas can find places for these families. can furnish successful business enterprises for the heads of these families and they and the city will both benefit as a re- suit of their residence here.
 Every business man in Douglas and every man who has the interests of his home city in heart should wei come this move and aid in helping it along. There is no better way of do- ing this than by joining the Chamber at once and aiding in its support by the payment of the small dues of s1 per month. Practically all can afford this slight contribution towards a prosperity fund and every one who can afford to do so should join the regiment of progressives which are fighting for greater and better Doug las
 There is no diminution of interest shown by the citizens towards the Chamber of Commerce and Mines but on the contrary the interest is decid- edly on the increase. At the meeting yesterday there were twelve new members elected and this was as 1t should be. It is hoped that right on from now the steady growth will con tinue to increase and in work of the organization by making frequent calls upon secretary Grinnell in his office.

RIFLE RANGE FOR MARINES.
Tract Near Indian Head to Be Used
for Target Practice

The tract of land known as Stump
Neck. forming part of the naval proving
ground reservation at Indian Head. Md.
has been turned over to the Marine Corps
for use in the establishment of rife
range for marines stationed at Washing
ton and vicinity.
The tract comprises about 1.OOO acres Of
land. 1t lies about three and one-half
miles below Indian Head. between Malta
woman and Chickamuxent creel :. 1t is
OF no value as part of the proving
ground. having been bought by the gov
ernment after protests by the occupants
against the firing OF projectiles over them
in tests of ordnance. Since the land was
purchased several years ago no use had
peen made OF 1t until recently, when a de-
tachment OF marines under command of
Cept. William c. Harllee. went there to
conduct intrenching operations. The
range to be established there will have
targets placed at different distances, up
to ], 200 yards. and about S., 600 will be ex-
pended in the improvements.
1t is not expected that the range will
be ready In time for use by marines at
Washington during the present target
season. and, therefore. 1t has been de-
cided to send them to Sea Girt. n. j.,
where the marine rife camp is being
maintained.

RICE FIELDS OF TEXAS.
Japanese Farmers Making Fortunes

Japanese Farmers Making Fortunes
Growing the Cereal.
Rice threshing has been going on in
Texas for the last two months and now
is practically finished. The crop is
confined to the upper Gulf coast re-
gion and is comparatively a new indus
try. 1t is comparatively estimated that
the rice yield in the state this year is
approximately 100000 sacks. Each
sack contains four bushels. The United
States production of rice last year was
insufficient to meet the home demand
and 100000 sacks were imported. The
Texas crop this season was unusually
good. The yield upon some of the
plantations ran from fifteen to twenty
sacks an acre. II is said that the aver.
age cost Of production is little more
than 81 a sack.
The Japanese are the most thrifty
rice growers in Texas. There are sew
eral colonies Of these planters in the
Gulf coast region of the state. One OF
the largest is at Webster. Another
colony is at Deep water, about sir
miles from Webster These japanese
give much more attention to the crop
than the average American planter,
and as result they obtain twice the
yield. Many of the Japanese rice
planters In the Gulf coast region OBJ
tanned from twenty to twenty-five bar
rels Of rice an acre this season.
Instead Of planting several hundreds
or thousands of acres In rice as is
done by most of the American plant
ers the japanese grower confines his
operations to a comparatively small
tract of land. He cultivates every foot
of this land intensively anc makes 1t
yield the greatest possible return. In
the colonies Japanese laborers are
employed. These workers are intell-
gent and educated young men who
hope to make their fortune in the Unit
ed States in a few years and then
return to Japan and enjoy it.
While rice growing is the principal
industry Of the Japanese in Texas the
Webster and Deepwater colonies raise
various other kinds of products. These
two colonies are typical Japanese in
dustries In Texas, including the man
ufacture of mats and tapestry and the
utilization Of rice straw in other ways.
John N. Simpson of Dallas is said to
be the largest rice grower in Texas.
He has a farm of 10000 acres, situat-
ed in Matagorda county. He had 5000
acres of this farm in rice this season.
and the threshing of the crop recently
was finished. The total yield was up
ward of 100000 bushels, which was
sold for more than $35O.0OO. Eighteen
threshers worked nearly four weeks to
get this enormous crop out of the
straw.-Kansas City Star.
