CALIFORNIA POPPY
SAID TO GROW MORE
BEAUTIFUL IN TEXAS
Mrs. o. W. Hilgers Has
Them Growing at Her
Home on Woodlawn.

The California poppy, that states
flower, will grow much more luxuri-
antly in Texas than in its native state,
according to Mrs. o. W. Hilgers, who
resides at 749 East Woodlawn ave-
nue.. Mrs. Hilgers has made life
study of botany. theory and prac' CO.
She has eight different kinds of flow
ers growing in her yard, including fif-
teen different varieties of roses and
several beds of California peoples.
The information that CALIFORNIA;
native flower grew better and be-
came more beautiful when planted in
Texas soil was reported TO Mrs. Hill
gers some time ago by Mrs. Kate
Schank. principal of the Robert f.
Lee School. Mrs. Schank has just re-
turned from a lengthy visit to Cali
fornia.
The California poppy is one of the
most beautiful wild flowers known.
Mrs. Hilgers says. 1t is bright
yellow and grows about one foot high.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-04-29

Mrs. Hilgers says the only fault she
can find with the poppy is that it
closes at night. She says she has
tried placing it in hot water and other
experiments, endeavoring TO make it
stay open at night. But you can not
overcome the laws of nature, she says.
In comparing the California poppy
with the Texas bluebonnet, Mrs. Hill
gers says that the two can hardly be
compared, for they are two different
types of flower. But in proportion,
she says, the blucbonnet is more at
tractive.
Mrs. Hilgers' home is located on
East Wodlawn avenue at the river,
near Breckenridge Park. Besides hav-
ing an array of beautiful flowers in
bloom at practically all times of the
year she says she has a number of
fruit trees which are expected to bear
unusually well this year.
incidentally after riding on several
roads through the surrounding terri
tory, Mrs. Hilgers remarks that she
believes that the flowers. trees. shrub
berry and other growth is more beau
tiful this spring than for years. The
Scenic Loop is a wonderful drive. she
says, and at every turn, one sees fields
of wild flowers. Many of the fields
are mixed with practically every Tex
as flower, she says. and almost every
field has. a different color.
Along the Austin road the wild flow
e-s are exceedingly beautiful this year.
Mrs. Hilegrs says. The fields of blue
bonnets there arc especially attrac-
tive.

STEVENS-ETTER is
5 NATIONALLY KNOWN
E CANDY INSTITUTION
Attribute Success Partly
to Texas Pecan Which
Is "Nut King"

steyens-Etter, a nationally known
candy Institution, has moved to new
and commodious quarters, at the cor
ner of Main avenue and Martin street.
This enterprising concern was in
corporated the early part of 1922 for
$4,000 and has just increased its
capital to $4,000. In response to a
national advertising campaign of con-
siderable scope, the Stevens-Etter
Company is now shipping San Antonio
manufactured Mexican pecan candy to
every state in the union as we'll as to
many foreign countries.
Determined from the inception of
the business to establish a reputation
for quality, with the price commensu-
rate, success has rewarded the found
ers far beyond their highest expecta-
tons. Every mail brings letters from
satisfied patrons near and afar.
A. T. Stevens, president of Stevens
Etter, which concern has brought San
. Antonio national mention as the home
of quality candy, modestly attributes
the phenomenal success OF the com
pany, in a large measure, to the fact
that the pecan is, first of all, the king
of nuts, that the Texas pecan is the
finest favored nut in the world, and
to the splendid cooperation and friend.
ship extended by the good people OF
San Antonio and throughout the coun-
try.
According to Mr.. Stevens, Texas
produces approximately seven-eighths
Of the pecan crop of the world.
In addition to making genuine sue
cess of manufacturing Mexican pecan
candy, the founders of Stevens-Etter
have rendered big service to San An
tonic and Texas by correctly inform
ing the people of the nation and abroad
of the lusciousness of the Texas Pc
can, and have, in consequence, at their
own expense, actually increased the
demand for Texas pecans.
Supplementing the departments OF
manufacture and distribution, still an
other has been established by Stevens
Etter, that of a big jobbing depart
ment. To realize yet more successfully
the fruits of their national advertising
campaign, it has been decided to han
die here, as jobbers, brands OF candy
that have earned national regulations
for quality along the same lines OF the
Steyens-Etter products. Accordingly,
the company has made a careful selec
ton and will ship some OF the best
known brands of candy in the country.

the fact that many of these repair
jobs have been long deferred. Just
how the owners Of these roofs go about
having the work done, particularly in
the midst of the greatest building boom
since 1909, will depend the expendi-
ture or saving Of a large sum of
money.
According to the roofing dealer the
conventional method in giving a house
with shingles new roof, is to rip off
the old shingles, and to lay the new
roof on the old Turing strips. This
means mussins up lawns and shrub

berry, filling the upper floors of the
house with dirt and dust, and running
the chance of getting caught in a sud-
den storm with no roof on the house.
In addition, of course, the roofing deal
er states. is the cost of the labor for
ripping the shingles off.
These risks and expenses can be
avoided by laying the new roof right
over the old shingles, he says. What
ever the material of the old roof,
whether asphalt or wooden shingles,
the new roof will be cheaper to lay
and will offer a better Insulation for
the house, making it cooler in summer

of the living porch. Instead Of plac-
ing the porch at the end of the house
in the usual manner, it was placed at
the front and the main roof brought
down over the porch, thus giving
space on the second floor that would
otherwise be lost, and allowing
third bed room to be provided, where
otherwise only two bed rooms could
be arranged.
Then too, the roof extending out
over the porch to the first story
gives the house a broader appearance
that is well proportional to its
height, and it allows the house to
be placed on a very narrow lot.
Small houses that are full two
stories in height usually appear too
high for their size, since whether the
house be large or small. the ceiling
heights vary but little. Small houses

STATE WILL ESTABLISH CAMP
SITES FOR TOURISTS
Conservation Commission Makes
Known Plans to Provide for
Visitors in State.

Madison-Camp sites for tourists
are to be established by the state con

IN Northern Wisconsin, Elmer s. Hall.
conservation commissioner announc-
ed today.
A demand fol adequate camping
facilities, more insistent with the
great increase in tourist traffic. has
led the conservation commission to
make plans for definitely marked and
thoroughly equipped camp sites, Mr..
Hall said.
1t is his plan to build up Is or 20
camping centers with running water,
toilet facilities, camp fire equipment
and other conveniences seldom to be
found by tourists in their jaunts a
cross the country.
These sites, according to Mr. Hall,
can be located on state land border
ing lakes, so that the tourist can
swim and fish, enjoying the best that
Wisconsin has to offer, Game and
fire wardens would inspect the sites
and keep them in order for the trav-
elers.
Thousands Of tourists each sea-
son pass through the great tracts
of state lands in the northern coun-
ties" Mr. Hall said. They often need
camp sites that have been lacking in
the past. 1t is our intention to meet
the need adequately and within a
short time"
Mr. Hall expressed himself as OPP
posed to the leasing system now in
effect by which individuals are allow
ed to acquire large tracts of state
land bordering lakes. Some persons
acquainted with the workings of the
state law have acquired frontage Of
500 feet on several of the best lakes
located on state lands for nominal
rentals, according to the conserva-
ton commissioner.
By this means they are shutting the
lakes out from the public, he declared.
Mr.. Hall recommended a termination
of the lease system and the issuance
Of short time permits for small a
mounts of lake frontage to be used by
individuals. Under the present sys-
tenn it costs more to look after the
state interests on leased land than is
obtained from the leases, he de-
clared.
