 Enthusiastic reports have been re- ceived from Texas that a large dele gation is coming from that state. Texas will probably furnish the largest delegation of any of the states, with the exception of Arizona and California. Texas is deeply in- terested in the proceedings of the convention, first on account of desir ing the 1923 convention to meet ill that state. Fort Worth and Hou ston both have extended invitations. also on account of the Texas-Mexico division which starts at Mt.

When this division is adopted the Bankhead highway will be an inter national highway.
