This Is the eighteenth Of series
Of articles published by The Light
showing why San Antonio is in a
prosperous, healthy period Of expan.
sion.

The prosperity of a city is best
measured by the ability and prompt
ness by which its citizens are enabled
10 meet their obligations.
Judged by this economic standard.
San Antonio leads all cities of Texas
and ranks high with the big cities Of
the United States, according to Adolph
.Grasso, secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants association.
whenever the people of a city es-
tablish and maintain a record of being
good pay to the extent of 90 per cent
of its population, that city is bound to
prosper" declared Mr.. Grasso.
1.-THE prosperity of a city is best

abled to meet their obligations and San
Antonio seems to have set a record
in this respect, the average of its citi-
zcns being 90 per cent good pay out OF
its entire population of nearly 100000.
GOOD BUSINESS.
THE Retail Merchants Association
of San Antonio operates as a credit
clearing house for more than 100 mer-
chants and business men in all lines Of
trade and professions and through its
offices many thousand of clearing cred
its are made each month.
I'm general way the activities Of
this office reflect the activity of the
retail trade throughout the city.
THE activities in the office of the
Retail Merchants association this year
give proof of quite a lively business.
even at this time of the year and in
spite of the prolonged drought and hot
weather.
The steady flow Of inquiries
through this office, as we'll as the
trade reports checked up, plainly indl-
cate that the volume Of trade in ths
city is keeping fully up to the usual
record, and best of all San Antonio
buyers are, as a rule, paying prompt.

BOYS HAPPY.

"The best time they ever had-and
the best things to eat"-was the am
bition and the working motto of the
womcn-and the picnic lived up to
schedule.
And the waits at the county home
are feeling "all stuck up" about it,
for this is a rare occasion in the
BexaI County School.
1t isn't often that a bunch of cast
away, forgotten or homeless tots are
entertained with an all-day party in
lovely park; especially when the
party is exclusively for them, their
first big picnic.
For four years a committee from
the Catholic Daughters has worked,
quietly and faithfully, with the boys
whose lottery of life has dealt them
disaster and unhappiness.

the school, and Mrs. Laura Williams,
matron, arrived at the park for the
day.
4 swim preceded lunch.
At noon the big event took place
the mountains of ice cream and the
"oodles" of cake.
There were home-baked hams, cases
of soda water and all manner of good
things for the luncheon.
After the "eats" games were played,
including a baseball affray, a potato
race and a sack race.
Prizes were awarded the winners.
The committee, composed Of Is

7 TEXAS HONEY
CROP SAVED
. BY MESQUITE
Over 100000 Pounds
Marketed So Far
This Year.

A normal crop of mesquite blossom
honey in the huge producing area near
San Antonio, while the production of
other kinds has fallen off elsewhere
has been the means of mitigating the
effects of a dry year on the farm
crops in general, according to T.. G.
LeStourgeon, secretary of the Tcxa.
Honey Producers Association with of.
fees in San Antonio.
Over 100000 pounds of honey
produced from mesquite flowers al
ready has been marketed.
This unique honey is produced in an
area $50 miles long and 10 miles
wide, Mr.. LeStourgeon says.
The area extends as far west Of
San Antonio as . Uvaldc and as far
south as the Gulf coast.
The mesquite bush, although semi.
desert plant, flowers prolifically- and
the honey produced from its blossoms
has a piquant flavor that makes il
one of the most distinctive in the
world. ....
WIN PRIZES.
Texas honey also comes from horse
mint, cotton. catsclaw and guajillc
plant blossoms.
OF these only the catsclaw crop is
normal.
This also has a distinctive flavor al.
though it is the suajillo that has given
Texas honey its international reputa,
ton.
Honey from the guajillo blossoms
has won first prize at several worlds
fairs and it is known as the CvaldC
honey of commerce from the point al
which it was first shipped.
More than onc-third of the Texa:
honey crop was produced in the Sar
Antonio territory during the pas,
year.
Texas produced 100000 pounds
this season in contrast to the usual
100000 pounds, but the produc,
ton in the San Antonio area has beer
normal.
SUPREME SWEET.
Honey is the one article of human
food that has remained in high favor
from the earliest times to the present
1t was the only form of sweet used
for dressing through many centuries
Honey lost its place temporarily
with the coming Of cane sugar.
But sugar did not replace honey.
As more sugar was produced than
honey, sugar became the common
sweetening. This condition continued
until the invention of the movable
frame hive.
From that date the production Of
honey has steadily increased.
Through many centuries honey was
the supreme sweet and was a luxury
to kings and wealthy families but now

VISIT BOYS.

Under the direction of Mrs. A. J..
Leblanc, grand regent of the Daugh-
tiers, the work of taking cheer and
motherly influence to the home has
progressed until now a strong bond
of sympathy and love has united these
waits and their benefactors.
Every Sunday during this four-year
period the committee has visited the
boys, taking little gifts; and on every
fourth Sunday their visitors have been
greeted with whoops of joy-because
there is always ice cream, candy, fruit
or some kind of dainties for a little
party.
I'VE have given the boys a picnic
every year, but they were always quiet
little affairs on the schoolgrounds,"
Mrs. J.. Beze. a member of the com
mittee, explained.
This time the boys wanted picnic
away from homeland they didn't
think it would be a picnic unless they
could spend the day. We are giving
them what they wanted"
