Land Office Name
Leads to Queer Query

AUSTIN. April 26-tF-USe the
term general land office" In con-
nection with the state department
that has charge Of administration
Of public lands Of Texas has given
rise TO an interesting anecdote.
It occurred while X. B. DeBray,
a former general in the Confederate
Army. was employed in the office.
One day q MAJ walked into the
office and asked 10 see the gen.
eral. Believing he wished TO see
General DeBray. attaches informed
him that General DeBray's Of
flee Is downstairs"
II don't want 20 see General
DeBray. I want to see General Land
and I've come 100 miles to sec him.
Amt this the office OF General
Land" he inquired.
According TO J. H. Walker. COM
missioner Of the general land Of
flee. the term general" al ap-
piled to the department when the
various land offices were consolid-
ated into n unit. In the colonial
days there were offices al Nacog-
doches, Liberty. Ciesca. San Felipe,
San Antonio. Refugio. San Patricio
and Gonzales. Under an act Of
congress in 1887 these offices were
combined into one department and
all the papers transferred to Aus
Elm and the only fitting term that
could be thought of was general"

STREET FAVORS
CITRUS STUDY.
County Superintendent
Approves Plan
Of Study

Believing that the more school
children know Of citrus culture the
better products viii come from
Valley lands In future years, Cor
don +. Street, vice president or the
Rio orande Valley Trust company,
In an interview with the Herald
today said ne advocated q policy
which would give these future VAL
ley citizens more intimate knowl-
edge OF the various phases OF fruit
growing.
Mr.. Street believes that II coun-
ty school children were given are
Of 10 acres OF land, under direction
Of some authority as the county
agent. they would finish their
schooling with a better foundation
Tor carrying on the progress OF
farming in this section. II IS the
opinion Of Mr.. Street that land
obtained by the county for this
use would make its own way for a
period of five DR. 10 years and that
after that 1t would be an actual
financial benefit TO the county.
The land, under the plan adj
vanced, would be in the rough and
the youngsters would aid IN clear
ing 1t, It's cultivation Of seasonal
crops while citrus trees were grow
ing. and would be purchased on a
longtime plan or donated TO the
county for this educational pur-
pose.
Mrs. w. r.. Jones, county super
intendent OF schools, when infor-
med Of the idea advanced by Mr..
Street expressed pleasure that
someone was taking an active step
In q thing she has long thought
advisable IN this section. She point
ed out that Al Parker had offered
about five acres Of land in a town
site in the Anacuitas school dis
trict to be used as the school sys-
TEN thought 1T IN teaching chill
dren fundamentals OF citrus lard
care.

The Nome High School girls came back last Tuesday evening to defeat the town ladies in the clos est game on record, S-7. Before the largest attendance at the bask- ct ~ball games this year, the Red Devils defeated the Battling Blues in game in which neither team was over two or three points ahead for any length of time. It was indeed an exciting game, provid- ing much enjoyment and keen-ed- ged sport amongst the rooters who picked their teams and stuck to them.
 The girls had conducted many practise sessions during the past week and came into the game with a determination not to be quelled. They started the basket-ma king but were quickly followed by the ladies. As the game progressed the ball was passed forth and back with increasing speed and precision. Excitement prevailed continuously as first one team would get one point ahead and then the other, keeping the spec tators on their feet in prolong- ed bursts of cheering. Excitement reached a high pitch when the fourth quarter opened with the girls determined to hold their one or two points advantage and the girls equally determined to gain that adva ntage Quickly play began, and the ladies soon brought the score up to even and then passed the girls. This, however, did not discourage them, for they came back stronger and stronger each succeeding time as they re- trieved the ball dangerously near their own goal and started it for their opponents The girls then Shoved in a basket bringing the score up to one point in their fav' or, and there they chung through the remaining minute or two ot the game. Play had been so fast and furious that it was some sec onds before the teams realized tht game was over. for the spectator: were on their feet bowling ant cheering for all they were worth This game brings the girls on al even footing with the ladies, botf teams now possessing one gamt each.
