kindly, Healthy Warmth That Sus-
Iains Life and Rejuvenates the
System.


To enumerate the respects in which
Texas is superior to all other States,
as we'll as to the world at large,
would be a consumption of newspaper
space that is not justifiable. in view
of the upward tendency of the price
of print paper Besides, the world
knows generally about our vastTanch-
es dotted with fat cattle, our beauti-
full cotton fields spreading away to
the horizon, our forests filled with ma
lures sweetest music, our innumer-
able stretches of waving grain, our
limpid stream with mint-fringed
banks and widowed shores-in which
the playful fish dwell by the billion,
our watermelon patches large in some
instances than the State of Rhode Is
land, our score of millions of fruit
| trees now bending with their golden
fruit, and countless other blessings
bestowed on US by our heavenly Fa-
Their
But the one respect in which Tex
as excels every portion of the globe is
her incompatible climate Northern
people often flock to Texas in winter
to escape the fierce blasts of that I'M
happy section. They know something
of the Texas winter climate, as they
know of our spring and autumn. But
it is the Texas summer that is best of
all. 1t is in summer when the birds
sing all day and all night long, it is
in summer that kindly sun kisses our
spreading fields and makes them yield
earth's choicest fruits, it is summers
warmth that brings to fruitage the
Iuxuries of orchard and vine, and it is
summer that fills Texas with health
and joy.
Why do we say this? On Tuesday,
the dispatches tell us, twenty prostra-
lions were~caused in New York by the
heat, and two unfortunates actually
committed suicide because of their
misery. In Boston one death and six
teen prostrations were repotred be-
fore II O'Clock and twenty-five heat
victims were taken to the Philadel-
phia hospitals. If the record for all the
Northern cities could have been given,
the people would have been amazed
at the deadly ferocity of the Northern
summer
We never hear of anything of the
kind in Texas. While men and women
are dropping to the pavements in New
York and other cities, nearly one mil
lion farmers are toiling in the Texas
fields all day long under the rays of
the summer sun. 1t is warm, certainly.
But is a warmth that is kindly and
healthful, warmth that sustains life
and rejuvenates the system. While
the sun is pouring his rays upon the
burgeoning earth, the sweetest, coolest
breezes are sweeping across the fields,
toll endurable and even pleas
urable.
You never hear OF sunstrokes in
Texas, yet nearly every man, woman
and child in the state is out in the sun
i e greater part of the day. Heat pros
tratiOns, heat suicides and all that
sort of thing must be found else
where, because here in Texas We have
on one side the wind rushing down
from the snow-capped peaks of the
West and on the other the cooling
breath of the sea floating up to the
plains from 400 miles of the coast. !
