conditions and more favorable leglsla'
| ton. Texas raises almost half OF
the United States crop and has II
cotton mills. New England raises nc
cotton at all and has go cotton mills
Texas, although it produces the raw
cotton. manufactured only S20.oOO,ooo
worth of cotton goods. New England,
1914, 100000. New England employs
100000 people in the cotton industry
Texas produces the cotton, and ships
it to them, so that they may be en-
ployed. while only 1000 of her own
population work in cotton mills. Tex
as raises Al per cent Of the cotton
crop and manufactures about = per
cent of it. 1t should manufacture ut
least so per cent of its own crop,
which would mean $3.50, O00, 900 pay
roll annually. The same machinery
that runs successfully in New England
will run just as successfully in South
west Texas. a total of 100000 bales
is about one-fourth Of the cotton crop
of the world, raised in Texas, and we
manufacture less than one-half per
cent of the worlds crop.
SUPPLY OTHER COUNTRIES.
"On account of geographical loca-
ton we can supply not only Texas,
but also Mexico, Latin American and
South America with Texas-made cot
ton fabrics. We have water power,
gas. oil. and Ignite in the cotton
fields. All these power producing re-
sources to run looms and spindles.
Cotton manufacturing is as staple as
banking and merchandising and per-
haps more profitable. The Carolinas,
Georgia and Alabama have climbed
from poverty to riches, according to
the United States Internal Revenue
reports. Texas should be one of the
wealthiest states. Industries can pro-
duce the results. There arc $500 cot
ton mills in the world. England has
1000 of them working 100000 peo-
pie; England sells to the outside
world 4,0O0,000,000 yards Of cotton
cloth-a lot of it Is made from Texas
raised cotton. There are 1850 cotton
mills in the United States. Massa-
chusetts does not raise a pound of
cotton and has 325 cotton mills. North
Carolina has 375. Georgia $50, Texas
2. One city, Gastonia, n. c., has OF
cotton mills. Ten years ago it had
none.
Now, if all these mills can operate
at a profit, the same class of machin-
cry that operates successfully in
Massachusetts, will operate just as
successfully in Texas and big business
men of Southwest Texas have realized
this and have organized the Planters
and Manufacturers Cotton Mills of
San Antonio and propose to erect
mill at San Antonio"

TRADE GAIN
City's Wide Territory
Larger Than Six
States.

That San Antonios growth is certain
is assured especially by industry and
trade. San Antonio is the natural
gateway to the Republic of Mexico,
and is the center of trade territory
larger than the states of Ohio, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
Labor is plentiful, Ignite and fuel
oil easily obtained and because of the
mildness Of the climate, heat is I'M
necessary in the factories. The hu-
nudity is low. minimizing rust and de-
terioration. The Mexican labor is alert
and easily trained.
LEADING INDUSTRIES.
San Antonio's leading industries
consist of iron and steel, candy, tex
tiles, cigars, leather goods, clothing
and soap.
There are excellent opportunities for
the establishment of factories to manu-
facture furniture, brick. textiles,
tIuChS anu tTdCtOTS, AUTOMOBILES, clOt u
ing and pottery. Canning and packing
plants are needed for the preserving
of vegetables, fruits and meats and
dairy products. Twenty million acres
of land in this territory await cult

PLENTY OF POWER.
Somerset Field, one of the largest
shallow oil fileds in America, is sit
uated is miles from the heart of the
city. Producing wells are found in
every direction from San Antonio.
The San Antonio Public Service
Company has in effect a special power

tories, etc. The rate is as follows:
Two cents per kilowatt hour for
the first 100 kilowatt hours and 1 1-2

REALTY VALUES
To DOUBLE IN
10 YEARS
City Offers Most in Texas
for Investor, Says
Jeweler.

San Antonio offers more TO the
investor than any other city in Tex
as, gays p. ]. Scaperlanda, general
manager of the Bell Jewelry company.
A piece of property that can be
bought for $4,000 today will be worth
at least 100000 in ten years, prob
ably much more.
While the other large cities are
nearly developed, San Antonio has
just started its growth. Property
values are nearing their peak in the
more developed cities, but are low in
San Antonio at present.
BUILDING GAINS.
One indication of San Antonio's
boom, which is just starting, is that
approximately S35,00O,0O0 worth of
new buildings are underway or plan
ned for the near future. Heretofore,
San Antonio has been building only
eight or nine million dollars worth of
new structures year. With many
new structures planned. the business
district of the Alamo City will soon
rival the other cities of the South
in size, he says.
PREDICTS GROWTH.
As new buildings are erected, prop
cry values in the immediate section
begin to rise. With the millions of
dollars worth of buildings to be built
during the next ten years, the value
of land in the Alamo City will jump
to a high peak, Mr.. Scarperlanda
states.
The Bell Jewelry company has and
will grow like San Antonio. in leaps
and bounds. Formed in 1852, just
IS years ago. the company has grown
to one of the largest establishments
of its kind in the Southwest. The
concern was founded by Sam Bell,
pioneer merchant.

matched for HeadIiner of
Show March 20.

Larry Sobjeck Milwaukee VS..
Tommy Burns, Detroit, in a return
match at Tomlinson hall March %.
to feature the mitt entertainment
of the Inland A. c. That's the
news handed out by Matchmaker
Gar Davis to local fans today
The two smuggling light heavy
weights put on a real battle at the
last show here and re-matching the
big fellows is popular move.
They pleased the crowd so much
that there was a popular demand
for the pair to be hooked up again
and the wires were kept busy over
the weekend to clinch the two for
tn next headline bout. The popular
verdict was that Burns and Sobjeck
finished on even terms after ten
rounds Of milling in the previous go.
After the match Burns declared
that he took the bout on short notice
and did not have time to train care
fully. Sobjecks comment was that
he had underestimate the ability
Of the Detroit battler.
Now it is a different story, and
local fans probably will be divided
as to which will be returned the
victor next Monday night.

at Anderson and Locals
Fall.

Shortridge fell before the deadly,
ilncanny, long range shooting Of the
Muncie Bearcats, 81 to 10 in the
final game at Anderson regional
meet Saturday night. The first half
ended In 1918 tie with Shortridge
having all the best of the argu-
ment.
But at the opening of the second
half the Bearcats went on a long
distance shooting rampage, and
three field goals from back of mid
floor put renewed fight into them.
After that it was nothing but a
Muncie jollification meeting with
Walsh, the big center, and George, a
fllshy forward, leading the attack.
Spaulding and Sayce did good work
for Shortridge.
Shortridge showed championship
form in it's 34-26 victory over Green

The visit of the White Sox scout
evidently means he Is interested In
one or more players on Ownie Bush's
roster. and a good guess would be
that Cantillon is here to gaze at tbs
form displayed by Jess Petty. me
Hoosiers' southpaw pitching aoe. 1t
Is known that another White Sox
scout recommended Petty to the
Chicago Americans last summer.
Z It is possible of course5 that
Cantillon has been attracted to the
Tribe training camp by the news OF
Johnny Hodapp's batting. but just
at the moment the baseball signs
seem to read that the chief inter-
est OF Inc Sox scout is In less Petty.
Manager Bush said ht Is ready
to listen 30 a deal for pity with
