PRESIDENT NAMES
TWO ENJOYS; GETS
ONE RESIGNATION !
Riddle Leaves BuenoS Aires;
Eberhardt to Nicaragua,
SummerIin, Honduras.
SERVICE REALIGNMENT
is SEEN IN SHIFTINGS
Culbertson May Go to Peking and
Schurman to Berlin-Other
Names Mentioned.

President Coolidge has accepted the
resignation of John w. Riddle as Am
bassador to Argentina.
Ambassador Riddles resignation
was received before Secretary Hughes
retired on March 5.
President Coolidge is understood to
have brief list of names before him
from which to choose a successor. and
it is expected nomination will be
sent to the present special session of
the Senate. Mr.. Riddles home is at
Pennington, Conn.
While no announcement was made
is to the reason for the Ambassadors
desire to leave the diplomatic serv-
ice, 1t had become known that one of
his motives lay in the inability of
Mrs. Riddle. who underwent the or
deal of the sinking of the Lusitania,
to make the long sea voyage to
Buenos Aires. Physicians are said to
have advised her against such a trip.
Two ENJOYS Appointed.
Accompanying this change the Presi-
dent nominated Charles c. Eberhardt Of
Kansas to be Minister to Nicaragua and
George T. Summerlin of Louisiana to be
Minister to Hondurae
The selections both are promotions
within the Diplomatic Service, and
are a part of realignment of the
service. Mr. Eberhardt now is on
duty in the State Department here
and Mr.. Summerlin recently became
counselor Of the embassy at Rome
after many years of service in Mex
leo City, where he was in charge of
the embassy during some of the most
troublous periods of the recent fast
changing internal situation there. Mr..
Eberhardt entered the Diplomatic
Service in 1894 and Mr.. Summerlin in
1909.
VIII Succeed Ramer.
AS Minister to Nicaragua, Mr.
Eberhardt will succeed John E.
Ramer of Colorado, who recently re-
signed, after serving for more than
three years. Mr. Summerlin will sue
ceed Frank L. Morales of New Jer-
sey, who also was appointed in 1921.
Neither resignation has been an
nounced, and sit was indicated today
that bothsMiuisters merely had signi-
fed they would retire at Mr. Cool
idge's pleasure.
With the resignation of Mr.. Riddle
and the transfer of Ambassador
Houghton from Berlin to London,
there now are vacant two ambas-
SduOTShlPS, anu II expected tnal
two or three lesser diplomatic posts
likewise will have to be filled in the
near future. Selections for all of
these places probably will be made
by President Coolidge without delay
CuIbertson Considered.
One of those under considerat tion
for appointment to the diplomatic
corps is William S. Culbertson of
L. hnr 6f -
Commission. He has been urged for
the Buenos Aires post in succession
to Ambassador Riddle. But the be-
lief prevails that his nomination as
Minister to China is more likely
should 1t be finally decided to trans
fer Minister Schurman to Berlin. 1t
has been known for some time that
Mr.. Culbertson would prefer a post
which offered a field for employment
of his long experience with economic
subjects.

PREPARED ROOFiNGS
OFFER PROTECTION
AND REAL BEAUTY

Any good prepared roofing last,
long with little upkeep. In the devel-
opment Of the modern comfortable
house even the roof has not been for
gotten.
The swing from rural to suburban
living has been a forceful factor in
the recent development of roofings-
the risk Of conflagration in districts
where houses almost touch elbows. as
it were, is too great TO be neglected
and all the modern-made roofings. Or

loose designation Of prepared roof

qualities the quality Of fireproofness.
More Immediately pertinent. how
ever. to the man who is planning 10
build is the matter of cost. under
which head properly come both initial
expenditure and later upkeep. Among
these roOfings, as among all materials.
there is 4 variation in price depending
upon quality, weight, difficulty Of
manufacture, etc. But. generally
speaking. it is safe TO say that the
home builder attempting to shave down
expenses would do well TO give such
rOofings careful consideration.

LONE STAR STATE BOASTS
OF l6S,O83,OOO ACRES

One hundred sixty-eight million,
cighty-three thousand acres.
1t seems like the area of the whole
world, but it is only the number OF
acres in the Lone Star State, accord
ing to figures compiled at the expert
mental station at the Texas Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, College
Station.
The vast resources of Texas,
stretching out from the Panhandle to
the gulf and from East Texas to
West. have been analysed and it is
found that while IS per cent of the
landed area of the United States IS
claSsed as grazing land, 73.4 per cent
of the entire area of Texas is devoted
to grazing.
MORE FARMS.
These facts show that the plough
share has touched only one-fourth OF
the area of the state and extensive
development still awaits. However
the marked decline in the rate of in
crease in farm acreage in Texas, as
revealed by the census, indicates the
approaching limit of the profitably
farmed area and that a larger area
will continue to be devoted to grazing
than to the production of crops in
Texas.

DEL RIO METHOD|STS
WILL BUILD ED|F|CE

DEL RIO, Tex, Oct. Pat the
quarterly conference of the Methodist
church held Tuesday night, plans
were laid for the erection of a new
church building, construction to be-
gin about the first of the year. A
committee was appointed to consider
the matter and will make statement
within a few days regarding the
progress made.
The conference was held by Rev.
$. l.. Bachelor and was well attend
cd by local Methodists. This is the
largest church in the Uvalde district
in point of membership, but the old
building is said to be too small to
care for the congregation.
At the conference Rev. W. Y. Carl,
who came here year ago from
Yoakum. was unanimously asked to
return for another year.

And now Fashion has turned her
attention to our floors In many OF
the newest homes-smart suburban
dwellings and coy city apartments
che dccrecs pattern and cheerful color
instead Of the normal drab. lifeless
.loors.
And just as the pretty new wall
papers took the place Of the conven-
tional white plaster walls, just as gay
cretonnes brought to our rooms a
charm and bright spirit not possible
in our mothers day, so these new
floors are prettier, oh so much pref
tier than the everlasting browns ami
yellows Of the average wood.
The new floors are made of genuine
linoleum. But Of course, they arc
not the linoleum Of the old kitchen
"arlety type.
SMART TILES.
There are, for instance. smart limo
'cum tiles in various sizes and de-
signs. You can scarcely imagine how
smart they will make your entrance
hall. There are little colored tiles of
hnolcum in bright reds, greens. grays
or blues, each tile set with neat in
terlining bands Of color. On sun
porch floor-well, they add to the
brightness of the sun.
Then for the living and dining
rooms there are soft, rippled patterns
in two-tOne effects. For the bedrooms
there are quaint arabesquos and the
neatest, most colorful all-over figures,
NOT EXPENSIVE.
Are these new floors expensive?
Not really. For there is such a wide

VALLEY WINTER
CROPS LATE,
BUT LARGE

BROWNSVILLE. Tex. Oct. "a
Although two or three winter crops
in the Valley, notably beans. cabbage
and potatoes. will be later than usual
OH account of the unusually heavy
rainfall in the month of September.
the Valley will probably not suffer in
| the long run on account of the rains.
This opinion was voiced by Browns
vile shippers and seed dealers, as well
as farmers here.
Most of the seeded plants. cabbage
especially. were destroyed by the rains
of early September. which made the
planting much later than was ex-
pected while the ground had been so
wet that it has been impossible for
farmers to work il.
CROPS TO BE LARGE.
A horse. mule, or a tractor taken
into one of the fields would sink un-
til it would be impossible to extract it
IL most instances.
However, the continued rainfall
has soaked the lands Of the Valley
until it is believed that the crop of
winter vegetables will make up for
the fall crop which was practically
washed away, and the quantity pro-
duced will make up for the lateness
Of the crop in many instances.
DRY WEATHER HELPS.
Dry weather during the past few
days has gone a long way toward
putting ground in condition to BE-
worked, and it is expected that Valley
farmers will soon be planting. as they
already are in some places.
Cameron County, and particularly
e Jardin. lost most heavily on &C
count Of the rain in the damage 10
the cotton crop. residents of that sec
tion state. We would have ginned a
thousand more bales of cotton said
an e Jardin man.
We arc getting ready to plant
heavily in winter vegetables, and make
up for it" he continued.

However. this startling fact vii
not mean that all of the great South
west Texas, including Bexar county
will forever remain grazing lands. Ac
cording to local land men, vast re-
sources in improving land are yet tc
be uncarthcd in this section of the
state. Such resources will be uncov'
cred with the development of irriga-
ton and with the coming Of thou
sands of new home owners.
MUCH FARM LAND.
When all lands having potential
value for other uses than grazing are
SO utilized, there wifi yet be SJj,00O,-
900 acres of permanent grazing land
in the United States. In Texas 81

Bear Prowls About Yards In Seward,
 Is Latest Report

This bear came over the mountain to see what he could see and all he could see was the big tub Of water in the back yards of the residences of Mrs. Aron Erickson and that or Andrew Horton. It is reported that last week the strange disappearance of the water from the tubs more or less ,perplexed the above named citi- zens, so a watch was kept. In the dim twilight of still morn few days ago, vague shadow was seen to drift across the back yards to the watering troughs, followed short ly by a wallowing noise. For fear the large mammal, for 1t undoubted- ly was a wild beast, might attack them, no attempt was made to get a closer view but after the gruntlng and nosing had died away and when the morning sun burst over the mountains, furtive investigation was made bringing to light large size bear tracks. Lately everything has been quiet on the Potomac" with no sign of the bear returning. Any way the big game season isn't open.

The catch has developed into such proportions as to exceed the facilities of the packers, and the docks are filtered with the accumu- 1ation of barrels of fish awaiting shipment to market. Everyone is busy and the community has very prosperous appearance.

DEFINING A TOTEM POLE
By Miss Katherine c. Kane.

It is impossible gin a brief treatise to give an accurate interpretation of the crude heraldry of primitive peo, pie without making a study of indi- vidual totems.
 Whatever suggestions of idolatory the uncouth and barbarous appear ance of the totem may convey, to the casual observer, it is certain that such practice was not thought of by Haidas. Their recognition of su- pernatural power which is common to all primitive peoples was not cen tered in one Divine Deity. These children of nature developed a ven- eration for birds and animals to which they ascribed human intelli- gence. The transmigratory idea finds a place in the vague traditions of a spiritual power for good or for evil which changed the form of man to birds or animals or vice-versa. A crude ideaity led to the association of each family with some form of animal life, the recording of which resulted in the rude carvings called Totem Poles. As nearly as can be determined the original purpose in erecting totems before the houses was to distinguish each group of families having the same crest. Take for example the totem which repre- sents the Eagle. This would be found all sufficient to indicate the house of the Eagle Clan, and would be the home of all those having the Eagle Crest or emblem of their To- temic system whether visitors or permanent dwellers.
