THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what Is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes It hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp. or there being too much tur-
pentine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten. the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble. every
HORSEPOWER should know in a general
way when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind OF
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing a book Of color schemes, specif-
cations for all kinds Of painting work.
and an instrument for detecting adul-
teration in painting materials, with
directions for using It, can be had
free by writing National Lead Com
pany, 1902 Trinity Bldg, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40.
This company, the largest makers
OF pure white lead, invite tests, by
means Of the blowpipe (included in
OUTFIT, or in any other way, of the
purity Of the white lead sold under
their famous Dutch Boy Painter"
trademark. That trademark on a keg
Of white lead is in itself an absolute
guarantee of purity and quality.

1.-THE delegation that accompanied
Lon C. Hill from Brownsville to San
Antonio. in connection with his pro-
position to build a railroad to con-
meet these two points, met most
cordial and encouraging reception
from the business men of San An
tonio!" said R. N. Magin, secretary
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Com
mercial Club, who was one OF Mr..
Hiu's party, and who returned home
last night. The remarkable display
of confidence in Mr.. Hill and support
of his project given by the fifteen or
twenty prominent capitalists, busl-
ness men, bankers and land owners
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, as
we'll as from other points in the ter
ritorv to be traversed by the proposed
road made a very strong and favor
able impression upon the business
men of San Antonio, so Mr.. Magill re-
ports.
There can be no mistaking the
friendly attitude of the business men
there towards Mr. Hill and his pro
iect," continued Mr. Magill, "and
they readily gave US assurance OF u
bonus of even more than 100000,
both individually and in their meet
ings. According to the terms on
which the hundred thousand dollar
bonus was subscribed, it is available
for one year from the date on which
it was completed. Seven months of
this year have already passed, leaving
but five months in which to construct
a road from San Antonio to the
southern boundary of AtascOsa coun-
ty 1t is manifestly impossible for
any road to comply with these
terms. For this reason and because
of the fact that Mr.. Hill stated to the
Business Mems Club that he would
expect two or three times the amount
of the present bonus, the committee
appointed to confer with Mr.. Hill
decided, with his acquiescence, that
they would not tie up this bonus
with a ninety days option, but will
take the matter up with him at his
pleasure. They assured him how
ever, that San Antonio will give him
whatever bonus he may want within
reason, and will also furnish him ter
minals and right of way through
Bexar county.
"A number of large ranch owners
in the territory to be traversed by
such roads were interested hackers
of Mr.. Hill at the meetings at San
Antonio. Three of these men assured
Mr.. Hill in my presence that they
would each subscribe bonuses rang
ing in amount from one hundred
thousand to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to his road.

FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1909.
MAYBE SO BUT

This talk of a railroad going into
Mexico from San Antonio and cross
ing the Rio Grande some eighty or a
hundred miles above Brownsville may
be based upon fact-yes, maybe-but
it is more than likely based upon
something else. There is an old saying
that runs thus: The wish is father
to the thought" Quite probably the
saying applies in this case. There
are some who wish to see the road
built that way. They have large
landed interests in the region to be
traversed and they know that such a
road would enhance the value of the
land and enrich its owners. If they
can make it sufficiently attractive to
the railroad builders, they may sue
coed. 1t is hardly likely, however,
that any railroad that may be built
in the near future from San Antonio
into Mexico will miss coming via
Brownsville While a railroad built
on an air line say through Rio Grande
City, might be slightly shorter and
more direct, and might offer some
advantage in the saving of time, yet
the route through Brownsville offers
such great advantages, by reason of
the country it will traverse, both in
The Lower Rio Grande Valley and in
Northern Tamaulipas, besides being
so near the coast as to be easily ac-
cessible to one of the future deep
water ports of the coast of Texas, at
Brazos Santiago, to make this really
the only practicable route for any
railroad building into Mexico at
present.

Rough on Mr.. Levy.

]. NJ. Levy of San Antonio, who
spent yesterday in the city assembling
the new soda fountain for the
Brownsville Sporting Goods Company
had a novel experience yesterday af-
ternoon Having business OF import
ance in San Antonio, which required
his immediate attention, Mr.. Levy in
tended to return home on the 4:15
train yesterday afternoon, but upon
reaching the depot and finding he had
only a few minutes he neglected to
have his ticket validated. When the
conductor came around for the tickets
he refused the one proffered him by
Mr.. Levy, on the grounds that it was
not validated, and upon reaching Oh
mito forced Mr.. Levy to leave the
train. As there were no trains until
late last night returning this way Mr..
Levy walked from Olmito into
Brownsville He expects to leave in
the morning with a validated ticket.

There Is but one Being that is alb

All nations. moreover. both ancient

in the immortality OF the soul. how
much soever they may have differed

We must. therefore, conclude that a
sentiment so general and deeprooted
