TEXANS START CONCERTED
ROAD BUILDING CAMPAIGN
To Construct Highway from San
Antonio to the Gulf

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. GA
concerted campaign of road building
is being organized in San Antonio and
the San Antonio country. Public meet
ings are being held in the various
county seats and bond issues are being
agitated.
1t is proposed to build macadam
road from San Antonio to Corpus
Christi on the Gulf Another standard
macadam road is projected from San
Antonio to NerrVille, rs miles into the
mountains. The various counties have
practically agreed upon a bond issue
and it is believed that these roads will
be constructed during the coming year.
San Antonio already has a network
of roads extending in every direction
from the city, aggregating 1876 miles,
ORGANIZATIONS of road overseers are
being formed for the purpose of edu-
cation in methods of road building
These organizations hold monthly
meetings and the secretaries of the
various commercial clubs are assisting
them in securing the latest information
from the United States government and
from other states In the matter of
road building.
No public work Is likely to prove
more profitable than the construction
of firm macadam roads. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss from bad roads In
the state of Texas Is larger than the
loss due to fire. The Texas CONNER
cial Secretaries' association has had a
model road constructed which shows
the cross sections and how the build
ing should be done. This exhibit in
conjunction with the state agricultural
department is being sent to the vari-
Gus county fairs for educational pur-
noses,

.RANCHMEN Utilize
CACTUS AS FODDER
Dairymen Cultivate PriCkIy Pear
as They Would Any Other
Forage Crop
Especial to The Heraldl

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. g.
Utilization Of cactus as stock food
has been growing steadily in the San
Antonio country. This plant, formerly
termed an obnoxious weed, was first
demonstrated by DR.. David Griffith of
the United States department of agrl-
culture as a valuable product for
stock food. In dry years ranchmen
have been in the habit Of burning off
the stickers and using the prickly
pear variety of cactus as supplement
to grass feeding.
Acting on this suggestion, DR.. Grif-
fifth established an experiment farm
near this city and demonstrated
scientifically the value of prickly pear
as roughage. His experiments show
that the prickly pear is as good per
acre as sorghum cane, hay or any
other forage crop. Chemical analysis
shows that the plant contains 83 per
cent water, being as juicy as the
watermelon, and that it contains pro-
tein and other nutritive elements.
Mills have been established at
various points for grinding up the
prickly pear, and by mixing it with
cotton seed meal a valuable stock food
is made. DR.. Griffith claims that steers
can be fattened for the market on this
food at 31s cents pound. The aver
age cost OF fattening cattle for the
market is cents a pound.
During the present summer the
dairymen have used the cactus for
stock food with great success. Where
1t Is combined with other foods it is
said to be an excellent milk producer.
Prickly pear grows wild in the San
Antonio country in great abundance.
However, some of the dairymen close
to the cities are cultivating the pear
as they would any other forage crop.

GOVERNMENT TO BUILD
ROAD TO IDITARoD
Major Richardson Finds Camp on
Permanent Basis

VALDEZ, Alaska. Sept. 6.-Maj. w.
p. Richardson, U. S. A, road commis-
sioner for Alaska, arrived last night
from Nome. Major Richardson, who
was sharply criticised last spring be-
cause he refused to authorize the con-
struction of a government road to the
Iditarod, whose future was then un-
certain, says that the pernanence of
the gold camp has been established
and that he will build the road as soon
as possible.
The commissioner denies the report
that the Valdez-Fairbanks trail will
be abandoned as a result of the com
pletion of the Copper River railroad.
During the summer the government
has extended a trail from Fairbanks to
junction with the railroad, and the
railroad will operate daily trains
throughout the year, affording a new
entrance to the Tanana gold fields
These facts gave rise to the rumor that
the famous road from Valdez, on which
so many persons have been frozen 70
death in winter journeys. was not 70

part of the crew is stationed across
the road or other break from which
the back fire Is started and put out
at once the small fires which may re-
suit from the sparks blown over from
the back fire.
'The meeting of the two fires stops
at once the head of the main fire. 1t
is usually possible then to attack the
wings with the ordinary methods OF
fighting. 1t is necessary to attack the
wings at once, particularly If there Is
a. strong wind, for otherwise each
wing of the old fire would soon form
an Independent fire with a well-de-
veloped head. It is necessary also
that a number of men be stationed
where the original fire and the back
fire meet in order to extinguish smol-
dering fires in tops. logs and other
DEBRIS"
"A fire is never out" the bulletin
concludes, until the last spark is ex-
tlnguished. Often a log or snag will
smolder unnoticed after the flames
have apparently been conquered, only
to break out afresh with a rising
wind. After the fire lighting crew has
left the ground 1t is always well to
assign at least one man to patrol the
edges of the burned area until 1t is
certain that the fire is entirely out.
This may not be for several days"

In many fashionable clubs for men
either one part of the building is set aside
for the use Of women or members give
the women of their families cards which
permit the fair sex to lunch in the club
at certain hours of the day. When this
courtesy exists it may be usually ex-
tended, so that man may occasionally
give such card to a woman acquaint-
ance. He, Of course. signs his name to
the check.
Under such circumstances the etiquette
to be regarded is strictly laid down. and
a woman who does not observe it shows
herself either ignorant or thoughtless.
For a man to give his club card is one
of the greatest courtesies he can show a
woman, for his club is his castle, where
comforts and luxuries prevail, and the
thought that he wishes to give her the
pleasure of partaking of them shows a
mark of friendliness that should be &C
cepted with appreciation.
When a woman accepts such a cour-
tesy she must be particularly careful
about her conduct, and 1t behooves her to
be quiet in manner and to do nothing con-
trary to the rules Of the club
For one thing, she must not pay the
luncheon check. No matter how long she
has possessed the card, she must sign the
