A Fine Season.

This has been one of the finest sea-
sons ever known throughout South
west and South Texas. The long
winter kept vegetation back and
gave the far mers opportunity to
prepare the soil thoroughly. Rains
fell Just at the right time to give
the crops fino start and splendid
rains that have fallen during the
last week have come as needed 70
push the growing plants ahead For
the most part the rain fell gently
and was followed by bright sunshine
ard farmers throughout this terri
tory are feeling happy over the
prospects.
Many farmers in this part of the
staet have hardened this year to
the appeals sent out to reduce cot
ton acreage, and while much new
land has been planted in cotton the
acreage in corn and forage has been
greatly increased. Texas farmers
cannot forget their longtime loyal
! ty to cotton, that has been the sta
pie crop here SO many years, but
| they are recognizing the importance
of raising more corn.' oats and for
age and rotating their crops, and

Cars Reach Port O'Connor.

San Antonio, Texas. May 10
Logging the route for the Farmers
endurance run between Dallas and
the gulf coast next August, the
pathfinder and press cars have COM
pleted the trip from North Texas to
Port O'Connor, having had a very
pleasant and successful run. The
Farmers Endurance Run will be
open only to farmers and ranchmen
driving their own cars, but many
others are expected to accompany
the party. The list of entries for the
prizes offered by the Farm and
Ranch, a Dallas publication, is very
large, the projected trip having
aroused interest throughout the
state Texas ranchmen were among
the first to take to the automobile
and the cars have largely displaced
the use of horses on many of the
large ranches except in making cat
tie roundups. Many Texas farmers
have bought motor cars during the
last two years and numbers of them
are very expert drivers.

A pleasing, nice, cool, summery pro. gram will be given at the Airdomt theater commencing Monday night, { bill just suited to these warm sum mer days, when to sit and be cheer fully entertained is the least exert ing form of enjoyment to be found
 Another duo of extremely cleve' Japanese artists will be seen on this bill, namely the Kawana Brothers These two boys, neatly attired, will give several astounding exhibitions oi strength and agility and perhaps the most favorable part of their act is that their numbers are refreshingly new and unlike anything seen south before
 Herbert & Dennis are comedians and singers of the first degree. Ii there were nothing in the show but these two versatile fellows, the show would still be worth twice the price of admission.
 The performance of Hildebrand & DeLong will prove the headline num- Der of the bill. Viva DeLong, who accompanies Herr Hildebrandin his ntAooAlOAAut l0dtS pl SAAtllSl Ill., iH d tdI didate for honors as an ideally formed woman.
 The climax of the program comes with the Aeroplane Girl, in which Miss Freda Klemm wins popularity She appears first before the footlights in topical song. The house is dsrt ened for a moment, when suddenly the audience realizes that something is flying above their heads It is the aeroplane. At the top of the ma chine is a red light reflector which flashes from time to time As the flying machine scars here and there the vivacious avitor sings very tuneful air. The finish of the act is very pretty, and highly entertainiag g throughout It is the most mysti- flying act seen south in years, and promises to be quite a drawing card.

Westerheld made an affidavit that he was drunk while on trial. Prosecutor Wood in his statement to the jury referred to Westeriield and his coun- sel as being two John Barleycorns. ' The application for the new hearing was resisted in an affidavit which Prosecutor Wood presented from Sheriff Hale which admitted that Westerheld was drinking, but was of the opinion that Westerfleld was not so drunk while on trial but that he was fully eogRizant of what he was doing all the while.
