TEXAS CROPS MOST
VALUABLE IN j. s.

Texas crops are the most valuable
of any state in the union. This state
outranks, Iowa second and Kansas
third. Texas produces more money
crops than all the New England states
and more than several other southern
states combined. The Texas crops are
valued this year in excess of one bill
lion dollars. Were the petroleum fig
urcs added, Texas would stand head
and shoulders above all the states of
the union as a money producing state.
The Texas cotton crop is the greatest
single revenue crop in the country.
We are also a great livestock, hide and
wool producing gtate.

DRAWS HOME-LOVER

San Antonio is the second, healthiest
city in America. Is that drawing
card for home lovers? B.
The city's low mortality statistics
are due in no small measure to the
purity Of this water supply. The wa
ter is clear and cold the year around,
never varying in either temperature or
quality. The volume at present in
surcs an ample supply for city of
more than 100000 people. AS popu-
lation increases the city's municipality
owned water supply will be increased.

make bumper, crops and year-around
truck farms flourish at San Antonio's
very door.
Bexar county has wide variation
in soil types, the north part of the
county lying in the foothills of the
mountains forming tine southern edge
of the Edwards plateau and the east
part of the county extending out in a
broad level plain of black land formed
on a structure of limestone, rock and
clay.
The south part Of the county con-
tains more sandy land and is well
adapted to the growing of fruits and
truck crops. The native timber con-
sists of mesquite which grows in this
section very abundantiy. Along the
rivers and valleys there are great num-
bers of native pecan trees, also some
live oak. This was originally n fine
grazing country. At the present time
approximately 20 per cent or more OF
the land is in cultivation. 81.
FINE JERSEY HERDS
Dairying is practiced quite extern
sively in the vicinity OF San Antonio
and also in the hilly regions north

CHILD LABOR LAW
ALREADY DEFEATED
Thirteen States Refuse Ratificatlon TO
New Amendment to the
Federal Laws.

Chicago. Ill. - Beaten in either the
legislatures or by referendum IN thlr-
teen states, the child labor amendment
to the federal constitution virtually
has been defeated.
The adverse action of the thirteen
has rendered impossible the neces-
sary ratification by three-fourths OF
the az states, unless SON of the leg
islators opposed to ratification vote to
reconsider. So far no move IN that d.
rection has been made.
Sixteen states have considered the
congressional proposal to amend the
constitution so Congress might iegis-
late in regard to employment of chill
dren under 10 years of age. One or
both houses of legislature rejected the
amendment in North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia. Louisiana, Texas, Okla
noma. North and South Dakota, Kan
sas, Ohio, Washington and Delaware.
In Massachusetts the proposed
amendment was rejected by refer
endum vote last November. In Wash
ington the state senate has sent the
house a bill which would submit in
dorsement to the people in 1928.
The Senate of Wyoming has voted to
postpone indefinitely a resolution OF
ratification.
California and Arkansas were the
only states favoring the proposal.
Reconsideration in several states is
unlikely because of the large vote
against ratification.

Wheeler not only would continue but
that he as attorney general accepted
full personal responsibility for them.
Facing Senator Wheeler and his
Montana colleague and counsel, Sem
ator Walsh, across the conference
table of the senate judiciary commit
tee, the attorney general said the evil
dence gathered by the justice depart
ment for presentation to grand jury
here next week not only indicated a
conspiracy to defraud the government
but led to an inevitable impression
that Senator Wheeler was connected
with some of the actions complained Of.
Without mentioning directly the
charge of some senators, that Senator
Wheeler is being prosecuted" by an
attempt to try him far away from
home in a case already pending in
Montana, Mr.. Stone declared he re-
garded the two proceedings as entirely
independent of one another.
Senator Walsh cross-examined the
attorney general at length, but the
latter declined to go into detail as
the evidence which is in the govern
ment's possession and for the hearing
of which grand jury was inn
panelled today in the District OF
Columbia supreme court.
Has Letters With Him.
The attorney general took with him
copies of his correspondence with
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana,
who is Senator Wheeler's counsel.
These letters, containing an outline
of the new legal proceeding, had been
kept heretofore in strictest confidence.
The decision to throw the doors of
the committee open to the public was
unusual, the rule being that matters
relating to presidential nominations
must be kept secret.
The open session was proposed in
the committee by administration sem
ators who said the plan had the APP
prevail not only of the attorney gen.
eral but also of President Coolidge.
Before the doors actually were
opened, however, the attorney general
met the committee in executive ses-
sion, and it was said his preliminary
statement to it might be held in
confidence.
Late arrivals among committee mem
bers objected to the previous decision
for an open session and long ar
gument ensued before Mr.. Stone was
permitted to begin his statement.
