Bic CATAR|NA
RANCH Sells
READILY

More than 5000 acres Of the Gaia.
rina ranch in the Winter Garden Dis
trict of Texas were sold on the
grounds Wednesday in the first excur-
sion conducted BY the Winter Garden
Farms, Inc, under the supervision
of Charles +. c. Ladd, and deals were
still being closed as farmers returned
to all parts of the country to secure
their belongings prior TO returning
and making their homes just south of
San Antonio.
Mr.. Ladd. returning TO conduct ser
Ond excursion. arrived in san An
tonic after the first sales. enthusiastic
over his success. and stated that he
would sell 100000 acres of the 225.-
900 acre Catarina ranch this year and
that he would have more than $500
people in the new town of Catarlna,
Dimmit county, in another four or
five years. Twenty-seven town lots
were sold to excursionists Wedncs-
day. he reported.
We hardly ever close more than
half of our business on the grounds
said Mr.. Ladd, and my agents are
reporting many deals OH the return
trip Of the Winter Garden Special
We had four typewriters going all
day at Catarina Wednesday prepar-
ing papers, etc. as acreage was pur.
chased by farmers and homeseekers
from fourteen states, rs far north
as Nebraska"
SMILE CARAVAN.
The first excursion of homeseekers
in the Winter Garden District arriv-
cd at Catarina last Tuesday morning
and 20 automobiles formed a 5-mile
caravan which made 76 mile tour Of
the Winter Garden lands.
Mr.. Ladd received word last week
here that $50 tickets had already been
sold for the second expedition and that
his trip was necessary TO cut down this
number in order to handle the crowds
more adequately. The first excursion
brought 4J0 people into Catarina and
while Mr.. Ladd and his Ij-agent sales
organization handled them comfortably
it is believed that smaller crowds will
result in more thorough inspection OF
lands and crops as well as greater
sales.
The excursion last week is pro-
nounced by experts as the greatest
initial trip of its kind into the South
land. Mr.. Ladd is bringing new
blood" into Texas every two weeks.
The first Winter Garden special
train passed through San Antonio last
Monday morning. The excursionists
were taken for a sightseeing tour OF
this city and then entertained at
dinner in the Menger Hotel at noon.
The train was then boarded for Lar
edo where the visitors inspected orange
and grapefruit groves and attended
banduets in Nueva Laredo. They
left Laredo at 10 p. m. that evening
and breakfasted in Catarina as the

Congress, spoke before a group Of
Negro working girls at the Jim Grow
branch of the Y. w. C. A. S5th and

the American Negro Labor Congress-"
Whiteman outlined the purpose OF
the congress to unite as many work
ers of the Negro race as possible in
an endeayor to combat the Jim
Grow laws, race segregation, and dis
elimination that is practiced on the
Negro worker politically, economically
and socially.
Following the short talk by White
man, the girls asked a number Of
questions that showed their keen in
terest in the congress and gave the
founders of the congress to under
stand that the time was ripe for such
an organization on the part of the
Negro workers. A number of the as
sembled working girls handed in their
applications to the congress at the
close of the meeting.
