THE SATSUNA EMBRACES Big PROFITS
Native Trees Produce Valuable Crops
and Are Hardy-Demand Promises

League City, Textile orange crop
IN the coast section was gathered, sold
and shipped before Christmas, and the
shippers claim that the demand was
over ten times greater than the crop.
In two years more nearly all the large

large. If we take the past few years
since the Satsuma orange began MAX

TWENTY MEXiCANS KILLED IN BATTLE
Eighteen Insurgents Held at Bay Sew
enty Rurales and Seventy Infan-
try Soldiers.

Comstock, Texas,-More than twen-
ty men were killed in desperate bat
tie between the Mexican federal SOL
diers and a small party of revolution
lists on the bank of the Rio Grande, op-
posite Comstock Thursday. The in
surgents had only eighteen men and
for three hours they held at bay seven
ty rurales and seventy infantry SOL
diers. When darkness ended the bat
tie the insurgents held the field and
the federal troops withdrew q couple
of miles and camped. The revolu-
tionists left couple of hours later for
their mountain headquarters, fifty
miles away, carrying their wounded
with them. Of the eighteen insurgents
two were killed and seven wounded.
E. S. O'Reilly, an Associated Press
correspondent with the insurgents, re-
ceived a slight wound in the thigh
The determined stand of the handful
of insurgents has never been equaled
IN border warfare. Twice the rurales
charged the insurgents position, once
coming within fifty yards, but each
time they were repulsed. Eighteen
soldiers were carried from the field
during the battle.
The arrival of twenty more insur-
gents in the last few minutes OF the
fight saved the defenders and prevent
ed what would probably have been
massacre of the little band. The orig
inal party of insurgents numbered for
ty men. They had been On a raid
through the district south of Las Va
cas-, securing horses and recruits. For
two days a party of seventy rurales
had chased the band of insurgents
and the night of the 10th the party
made their way to the river to water
their jaded hourses and rest, think
ing that they had eluded the govern
ment forces.
The next morning twenty OF the
band started for a ranch about twelve
miles away In order to secure a fresh
supply of horses The camp OF the
revolutionists was discovered and a
company of seventy infantry soldiers
was mounted and sent TO the support
of the squadron of rurales. When they
approached the camp of the Insured
tos preparations were made to give
them lot reception. Only twenty
men were in the camp at the time and
two of these we're set at work packing
extra ammunition and rifles on mule
back
The eighteen remaining insurgents
took position in line drawn across
the trail of the advancing soldiers. The
firing commenced at distance OF
about 300 yards. The insurgents pour
ed volley after volley from their 30
caliber guns into the enemy and three
soldiers fell The soldiers replied
with the Mauser carbines and the bat
tie started like a roll from a snare
drum.

WASHINGTON.

The postoffice appropriation bill,
carrying $253, 100000, was completed
by the house committee on postoffices
Saturday. The amount carried by the
bill is an increase of $10,000,000 over
the last appropriation, and 81, 000s90Q
of it is to meet deficiencies. There is
nothing In the bill as to second-class
mail form or parcels post.
The Ellerbe bill relating to alcohol
or high-proof spirits withdrawn free of
tax for the United States was Saturday
ordered favorably reported to the
house after a hearing at which Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Cabell
indorsed the measure. The bill pro-
vides that such spirits for the govern
ment's use may be drawn off on any
exception of such bonds and regula-
tions to be prescribed by the secre-
tary of the treasury.
The increase of membership in the
house of representatives to 433 will re-
suit in the domination of that body by
parliamentary or political rings, in the
opinion of the census committee OF the
house. A report made by Chairman
Crumpacker favoring reapportionment
makes it clear that the committee
does not fear such an outcome.
An immediate appropriation of So,
100000 for Panama Canal Notifications
to be taken out of total appropriation
Of $12,475,328 for Panama defenses,
was asked of congress Friday by the
war department. The president sent
special message to congress recon-
mending it's approval.
A message providing for limited
parcels post on rural free delivery
routes Saturday was reported favor
ably to the senate from the committee
on postoffices and post roads. The re-
port was presented by Senator Bur-
rows and was the unanimous action OF
the committee.
In spite of the effort of Senator Hale
to prevent it's consideration, the senate
Friday voted down, 43 to II, his mo-
ton to adjourn and took up the Borah
resolution, amending the constitution
so as to provide for the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
of the people. After an hours debate
the senate went into executive session,
but Senator Borah declared he would
call up the resolution in the immediate
future and would press it.
During the consideration OF num-
ber of private pension bills in the
house Friday, Representative Austin OF
Tennessee protested against the treat
ment which he said veterans OF the
Spanish war are receiving
by the committee on invalid pensions.
Mr.. Austin said that pension OF So
month fixed for Spanish-American war
soldiers who were disabled or who
contracted disease in the line OF duty,
was little short of insult.
The Gardiner bill, which would pro-
hibit the admission into the United
States of any illiterate aliens over Ii
years old, was Saturday reported ia
yorably to the house by the committee
on immigration.

of the campaign committee of the
Statewide prohibitionists, the ball will
begin to roll in dead earnest on that
side Of the coming campaign. The
pros have secured ample quarters in

pid handling of the work. Mrs. Fran

TO ORGANIZE GIRLS TOMATO CLUBS
Work On Similar Plan Of Boys Corn
ciubs-FederaI Department of Ag-
ricultuse Behind Movement.

Washington.-The department Of
agriculture announces a plan to inter-
est girls in the details of truck garden
ing as it has interested the boys Of the
farms in improved corn growing. The
plan is to begin by encouraging girls
through contests, similar to the corn
growing contests for boys, to raise to-
matoes.
The method Is the same that has
been pursued with the boys The girls
are to be taught the PRINCIPLES of seed
selection and then encouraged to use
good seed. The result was fine in the
two counties where the experiment
was first tried, and the gihs raised
from two to four times the average
crop of the locality.
They were taught, too, how the roots
of the tomatoes developed and what
sort of cultivation they needed and
when. Doing the work in the right
way took more attention and intelli-
gent effort, but little more actual la
Dor, than the old "hit and miss" meth
cd.
One of the first experiments was
made near Asheville, N. C. Many Of
the girls made enough pin money to
convince themselves there was a good
business in raising tomatoes and can
ming them. Their elders also saw that
the home garden plat could be cut in
half and still raise twice as much stuff
as before. if it were worked in the
proper Wa.
The work has spread now so that
next sea"on in all probability there
will be a general competition, and the
girls tomato clubs will rank with the
boys corn clubs as object lessons to
the Southern farmer, showing what
his land and climate will do for him
with proper attention. 1t is all work.
ing to the end aimed at by Secretary
Mountaineering the value of the
Southern acreage. In speaking of the
work he said:
LET us show the world what land in
the South cen really do and it's value
will raise in the market and there will
be rush of people to get hold of land
that is now lying idle"
