William c. Edwards is the directing genius Of the
Texas Public Service Information bureau. He mar
shals facts and figures interesting for men and women
who read and think.
In 1921 gasoline taxes, levied in only a few states.
averaged SO cents per motor vehicle. In 1928 the
average had mounted to $13 per year. And with every
state now taxing the commodity at from two to six
cents a gallon, it is predicted the 1929 average will be
around SIT. Those who use the roads are paying for
the roads.
In 1927 Texas stood 18th among the states in
electrical production.
In 1928 it stood tenth. In 1929 it has moved into
eighth place. And the only states now above Texas
are New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois. California
and Michigan. Is Texas moving onward? Why ask
the silly question?
Growth Of the gas industry is amazing. This year
for the first time its capital Investment will pass the
5000 oO0G00 mark and its annual revenue the $780,
O0ooo0 mark. Improvements for 1929 will cost
s4500o00O. This has reference to the investment and
the volume Of business Of the natural and artificial
gas industry the country over. Is there a new civii-
zaticn? Read and think and you will know.
Growth Of the Texas dairy industry is indicated by
the fact that Texas milk plants have a daily capacity
Of 100000 pounds OF milk. exclusive Of 100000 addi-
tional pounds copocity in c-heese-making plants. Wis
consin farmers were made prosperous and many Of
them rich BY the dairy industry. Milk products are
dividend makers.
Texas investment in 100000 automobiles is esti-
mated at 81, 0O0oO coo or about one-tenth Of the
states wealth Of sl2.50OOO0OOO. Some day all Of the
Texas world win move about on wheels and the gas
viii be the thing.
Christmas Is coming.
Turkey-slaughte day is here.
San saba expects to ship 10000 turkeys to northern
and eastern markets. IN 1928 San Saba shipped six
cars Of chickens. Is cars Of turkeys and five carloads
O. eggs.
This is the comment OF the compiler OF facts:
"Dairying and poultrying are becoming Of increasing
Importance year after year in the products OF Texas"
This is true. Hundreds Of carloads Of turkeys and
chickens viii be shipped from Texas points to the
great markets OF the north and tie east before the
coming Of December days.

made his way upstairs.
II was detective Bob Sears. Rowdy

years before. He did not recognize
the biaCk-haired man who opened
the door and said easily:

Rowdy hesitated. He knew there
was only one thing to do however
That was TO come clean with Sear'

exacted a favor Of him.

stockings from the store.
He told the story as Resale had
told him-with all the pitiful de-
tails Of her shame at the cotton
stockings. Sears was n big hearted
man lie really felt sorry for her
when Rowdy got through.
Rowdy wondered how much time
he would have to work before they
found out about Roy Andrews be-
ing taken away in a plane. III they
beat him TO that he would be sunk.
And he hadn't the slightest idea
where to begin without arousing

A little later the ringing OF the
telephone sent the hair standing

RoSalie felt her doom was sealed.

CHAPTER as


Rowdy knew the small dark man
that lay on the sidewalk. his head
supported by a policeman. while an
other bent over him with q note
book and pencil.
It was Sprinty Flynn
Rowdy saw the blood beside him
and ID flashed through his mind In
q moment what had happened. Close
by lay two suit cases, and just a
few feet away stood a big "a with
the motor going. There was no one
in the car
Sprinty had come to get the loot
hidden under RoSalie's bed. A sus-
picious policeman had seen him
sinking down the fire escape and
called to him to halt. But instead,
Sprinty had lea2ed toward the car
and the policeman had fired. Three
bullets entered his back.
Rowdy pushed his way to the Of
ficer's side.
I'm from the Tribune
They had 10 bend over close to
hear the dying Sprinty as the officer
questioned him.
"YOu was in Murphy's TO get the
stuff hid there? Whose room was
it in2"
Where was the stuff from
"Boggs - store - Martino-under
the girls bed"
Rowdy knew that everything was
up. Rosalie would be rearrested. He
leaned over S%printy-

But IL was to late. Sprinty's head
rolled to the side, and he was gone

they carried him away. KeneSSa
stood wringing her hands when
Rowdy went back to her and they
went up stairs together.
a moment later a detective rang
the bell. Mother met him. tears

ELMER TwITCHELL BOOSTS THE

Elmer Twitchell today announced that he is out
to do his part in the Hoover drive to keep the wheels
Of industry moving. Il have wired the President
assuring him that I am going ahead with a big ex-
pansion movement" he said this morning.
"Of course I can't promise to spend millions like
those railroad and industrial leaders, but I am going
full speed ahead with expenditures just the same.
I have placed an order for two new bridges, work
to begin at once. This order is with my dentist and
not the United States steel Corporation However.
I want to help the steel company avoid a slump, too.
and 1 intend to order one steel rail.
Have you ever stopped to think what it would
mean to the steel industry If every person ordered
one steel raI?" demanded Elmer.
CT have no use for a steel rail and don't know
what to do with it when it is delivered. but I am
going to order one as a national duty, and I urge
every red-blooded American to do the same. You
can put it in your back yard to arouse neighborhood
curiosity If you have no other use for II. Think OF
all the fun you can have keeping the neishbors
guessing whether you are going to build q spur track!
sss
"A nice shiny new steel rail dumped in your yard
will have them thinking all sorts OF things. 7 urge
every citizen to order one steel rail at once, and.
II he has the money. a ~bar-plate and q couple Of
ingots. II you can't afford z steel rail all to yourself

Il am taking up with Washington the matter Of
striking off a badge or medal to be given to every
citizen who buys a rail. This medal will be inscribed
with the buyers name and the words. I've Bought a
