cording to the annual report of Seth
B, Holman, secretary of the Cham

1t is planned to hold county
fair next fall and a committee has
been appointed to report on this
matter Better results are expected
in this year than In 1911.
An effort is being made to or

COUNTY ROAD SIGNS TO
BE POSTED BY AUTOISTS
Enthusiastic. Meeting Is Held by
Members Of San Antonio Au-
tOmobile Club,

What is said to have been the
most enthusiastic and most import
ant meeting ever held by the San
Antonio Automobile club was the
gathering in the Real Estate ex-
change in the Bedell building last
night. Many matters of Importance
were discussed. Among them was
the question of posting the roads of
Bexar county for the benefit of
tourists.
This idea has been under discus
sion by members of the local or
ganization for some weeks and met
with the heartiest favor When 1t
came Up for definite decision at last
nights meeting there was not dis
senting voice raised against the
plan. A committee consisting of DR..
R. A. Goeth, R. T. Pruitt and A. G.
Dauchy met this morning and map
ped out plans for establishing the
road signs The signs will be erect
ed on cedar posts on practically
every road in the county, taking
into consideration the less frequent
ed roads as well as the main high
ways. The club voted sufficient
money to care for the expenses In
cident to the establishment of tn,
signs.
Following the disposition of this
road signs, the revised bylaws Of
the club were taken up. and acted
upon. There are no radical depart
ures from the original forms in the
new bylaws, but they are given a
more comprehensive scope. The
club also decided in the future to
hold its meetings on the second
Wednesday of each month. San

TO LABEL UNMARRIED MEN.
An Official Would Place a Bachelor
Button on Their Coat LapeIs.

A bachelor button of neat design
in the lapel of every single mans
coat is the device suggested by Sam
uel l., Browne, chief of the bureau
of criminal investigation of the dis
trict attorneys office.
The bachelor button of our grand
mothers gardens, crystalized, Is the
emblem proposed For the simon-
pure bachelor Browne would have
a silver CD above the button. For
the bachelor who is pledged to some
girl already, the detective suggests
"a golden "E'' as crown for the
button.
Browne has a -3-fold purpose IT
placing his proposition before an
anxious world thus early in leap
year. He wants to protect married
men; he yearns to aid neglected
women and new women who are
not neglected in the task of finding
the right man, and he is eager to
escape a deluge of letters of inquiry
that have been directed to him from
all parts Of the state and the United
States many of them as to the eligi-
bility of men who are already mar
ried.-Los Angeles Examiner.

MIX UP IN NAIL
a. DELAYS WEDDING
Expecfant Groom Gave Minister
Land Deed Instead of License.

Land Deed Instead of License.
The eagerness OF lovesick
swain of the Bristol community to
be welded to the girl OF his choice
resulted In an indefinite delay of
the wedding after part of the cere-
lmony had been said by the minister
who had been called in to officiate
1t was all caused by friend of the
groom getting long envelope out
Of the rural mall box that contained
a land deed instead of marriage
license An order for the license was
telephoned to County Clerk Neal
Saturday morning. The coveted doc
ument was made out in due form
and mailed to the groom, but did
not reach Ennis in time to go out
on the rural mail delivery that day
In the mean time the young man had
bought a piece of land on which to
establish his home, and long en-
velope with the county clerks card
printed on the upper left hand cor
ner was used in mailing the deed af-
ter it had been recorded. 1t left here
a day ahead of the marriage license
WAS received Saturday Afternoon
When the package was taken out
of the mail box it was believed to
contain the license and therefore
was not opened by the groom. Sun
day morning he went to the home
of the bride to be, accompanied by
a clergyman. After the young cou-
pie took their position ready for the
ceremony the young man handed
the preacher the package The min
lister had used the preliminary part
of the ceremony before opening the
envelope. When he unfolded the
document he was amazed to find
that he held warranty deed in
stead of marriage license. Explain
atoms were then made and the we'd
ding was postponed until the arrival

Millions Spent for Cross Ties.

Washington, Jan. S0.--A bulletin
recently issued by the census de-
partment shows that the railroads
operating in the United States pur-
chased 14S,231,O 900 cross ties at a
cost of s75,889, 1000 during 1910. No
statistics are available for he num-
Der purchased by each state but 1t
is estimated chat the Texas rail-
roads consumed per cent of this
amount at cost of 100000.
The above figures are readily
verified when we take into consid-
Grafton that Texas leads oil states
in the union in railroad construc-
tion and that we have In the Lone
Star State 14,5o0 miles of railroad
which is s per cent of the total of
the United States.

Mrs. Good1y gave them her best room. Aunt Liza hadn't seen them when they first ar rived; in fact she didn't see them until after they had been there nearly a weeR.

Making Life Interesting

There are so many things crowding in upon the busy women of today that it is small wonder, perhaps that some du- ties are occasionally overlooked.
 It is regrettable. however, that so fre- quently among the duties overlooked Is the duty-and pleasure as well-of mak- ing life interesting.
 This lack of interest in life-of real in- terest, that isis the source of much present day unhappiness. The trouble is that many people are unconscious of this cause, or, if they are dimly conscious of it. they do not know exactly how to rem edy the situation. They go on from day to day immersed, oftentimes in more or less humdrum routine, with little thought except to get through what seems to be necessary.
 They may have their day dreams of fu- ture good but the possibility of improve ment In one direction or another seems remote, and sort of feeling of dsap- pointment. almost of lfopelessness, is apt to become chronic.
 With most of these people the fault lies in themselves. They do not realize that the yield in life is proportionate to what is brought to this or that activity.

West African Earth Eaters

From the Scientific American.
 Henry Hubert publishes in the Bulle- tin du Comite do r Afrldne Franchise an
 interesting account of the practice of geophaghy in the French Sudan. AL though the practice is common in many parts of the world this particular case is remarkable for the systematic way in which the dirt Is collected and for the fact that 1t occurs in a well cultivated region where food Is abundant.
 The earth consumed is clay, which Is found intercalated among the grts of the region in beds of various thickness. The deeper layers are preferred, and for this reason the natives dig galleries, which are so crudely constructed that falls of earth frequently occur, sometimes with fatal results.
 When any unlueky miner Is thus buried, no attempt is made to rescue him, as it is believed that the divinities of the mines requires an annual victim. It is stated that individuals not infreauently COIL sume seven and half pounds of cny daily.
