Miss Augusta Bates announced to-
day that she had been successful in
securing the famous American So
prano, May Peterson, for a concert
at Trinity University Saturday.
March "a. Miss Peterson is one OF
the most brilliant singers on the
American platform today. Although
this IS only her second concert sea
son.. she has become almost as we'll
known as Alma Gluek and Louise
Homer. When one speaks of her
training, it is sufficient to say that
she was for several years the pupil
OF Jean de Reszke, the greatest liF-
ing exponent of singing.
Miss Bates met Miss Peterson
when she was a student in Paris,
and a warm friendship sprang up
between them, and it Is for this rea-
son only that Miss Peterson has
been induced to include Waxahachie
in her itinerary, for she commands
too much money-s350 a night
to be brought here under ordinary
circumstance. Miss Bates is playing

the tabernacle. 1t is hoped that a
large number OF people vii avail
themselves of this exceptional OPP
portunity to hear one of Americas
great singers. Miss Peterson will
appear in Dallas at So and So a seat.

CATTLE RA|sERs
OPEN MEETING
CONVENTION BEING HELD IN
CONNECTION WITH FORT
WORTH FAT STOCK SHOW.


FORT WORTH. Texas, March IA,
THE Texas Cattle Raisers' associa-
ton begins its two days convention
here today. Being held at a time
when the annual Fat Stock Show Is
in session, the association Is well
represented from all parts of the
state.
The important business of select
ing q meeting place for the 1913
convention has attracted large dele
cations OF boosters from several large
cities in the southwest and much
rivalry exists. Ell Paso seems the
heaviest bidder fer the next conyen
tion, however, and will have the
backing of Fort Worth cattlemen.
due to an agreement reached in Ell
paso recently when Eel Paso stepped
aside in favor OF Fort Worth to Sc
cure the next convention OF the
Southwestern Stockmen's associa-
ton.
The FL Paso delegation Is deter
mined to make the 1918 convention
held in their city. The delegates
more than 100 in number-are
reading to resist the claims OF the
rival convention cities. Oklahoma
City and San Antonio, with vigorous
opposition. Each Ell Paso bank has
sent Il representative to the eonven-
ton, and each of the delegates is
here as a booster" for that city.
They have adopted a slogan and a
distinctive badge. George III. Glenn
ents. secretary and publicity COM
missioner of the Ell Paso chamber Of
Commerce. arrived early this week
to make preliminary arrangements
and atteTd to the publicity for the
Il paso delegation.
0slafc u city Is an aggressive
and form dable opponent for the
e~onventioa. The large delegation
from thai city came in on a special
train, and the boosters of the city
are circulating thousands of letters
among the members of the Texas
Cattle Raisers' association. written
On specially printed l~etterheaas, ask
ing fer support.
Ell $50 delegates base their claim
for ne 1913 convention upon the
feet that their city has not had thu
convention for five years, and that
the association, primarily a Texas
organization, should meet within
the borders of this state. 1t Is point
ed out that the association convened
in FL Paso In 1918, in Fort Worth in
1911. in San Antonio in 1915, in
Houston in 1876. and in Fort Worth
In 1917.
