cleaning white face of the build
ing, above the entrance doors, is a
hrilliantly-cOlored mural painting
on a theme symbolic of the history
of the state.
Swaying in the breeze at the left
is a banner composed of two broad
stripes, one red and one white,
and blue field upon which shines
a single huge white star. 1t is the
flag of the Republic of Texas, born
just a hundred years ago and an
Independent nation for nine years.
Then it became the state of Texas
and that huge white star became a

cattle, cotton and oil which in less
than 100 years have placed Texas
in the forefront of economic i'm
portance.
Since the birth of the republic,
cattle have been a vitality impor-
tant factor in the prosperity of the
Lone Star state. Her broad plains
were ideal "cow country" and she
gave to the world that romantic
figure, the cowboy, with his wide
brimmed, high-crowned hat, his
leather chaps to protect his legs
from the sharp thorns as he chased
those gaunt longhorn steers through
the mesquite, his high-heeled boots
with their jingling spurs and his
daring and endurance, necessary
for the job of trailing the vast
herds north over the cattle trails
that led out of Texas. Although
the day of the open range is vir-
tually thing of the past, Texas
still has some of the largest cattle
ranches and the greatest herds of
cattle in the world today, and the
cattle business is still one of the
keystones in her prosperity.
In contrast to the grassy plains
of "Cattleland" are the lush river
bottoms where "King Cotton" rules.
For Texas also holds an outstand-
ing position in the cotton-produc-
ing world. And in East Texas,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-06-11

and other men who had hand in
building the great commonwealth
of today.
But if this treasure house of the
past isn't enough for one who seeks
to recapture the atmosphere of the
old days, he can find it in the dra-
matte re-enactment of Lone Star
statehistory presented under the title
of the "Cavalcade of Texas" 1t is
a great pageant produced on stage
$50 feet wide and 200 feet deep.
There 300 actors and actresses,
some of them descendants of the
heroes and herOines whom they are
impersOnating, present each day
pageant depicting 400 years of
Texas history, from the landing of
the Conquistadores down to the
present day.
Spanish galle0ns and pirate ships
float on the artificial river which
runs across this giant stage; Fran
ciscan friars, French and Span
ish explorers, patriots in the Texas
War of Liberation, American
frontiersmen, buffalo hunters, cat
tie trail drivers, cowboys, Texas
Rangers, Confederate soldiers-in
fact all of the characters who
once stalked across the stage of
Texas history-wiIl appear upon
this modern stage in cOlorful pag-
eantry. A unique curtain" marks
the end of each scene in this spec
tacle. 1t is a sheet of fine water
spray, 100 feet high, with colored
lights playing upon it to produce
the mood of the scene which fol-

Another of the chief elements of

But they are all here for the
same purPose-to be on hand at
the big birthday party which
the state of Texas is giving.
The crowd is growing larger
every minute. 1t begins to stir,
to move forward. The moment
for which they have been wait
ing is almost at hand.
At last-the signal! The gates
of the main entrance are thrown
open and the milling crowds
stream through into the grounds
of the Texas Centennial exposi-
ton, the $25,OOO,OOO worlds
fair of the Southwest.
The Lone Star empire which thus
begins the celebration of its one
hundredth birthday has had a
career unique among those of the
other states of the Union. The flags
of six nations have flown over it's
broad eXpanse of more than 265,0O0
square miles and all of them
Spain, France, Mexico, the Repub-
lie of Texas, the Confederate States
of America and the United States
of America-have contributed thrill
Ing chapters to its history.
For that reason one of the
principal elements of the Gen.
tenniaI exposition is historical
the Texans of today honoring the
memory of Texans of the past.

that fact the moment he enters
the grounds.

The metropolitan city of Dallas,
ranked as the thirty-third city of
the country, was selected as best
suited to hold the great central
exposition. Dallas is located in the
heart of a fertile farming area.
Geographically, it is the center Of
the great Southwest and conse-
quently one of the largest distribut-
ing points in the nation. Also with
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-06-11

in a 4OO-mile radius of Dallas
there live more than 100000
people.
For that reason Texas is ex-
pecting to entertain more than
100000 people at her birth
day party which runs from June
6 to November 27. To do that
properly those who are having
a hand in putting on the exposi-
ton at Dallas are expanding moro
than s16,ooo,ooo.
The exposition corporation is
spending four millions of this, the
city of Dallas three million and a
half, the state of Texas nearly a
million and quarter, the federal
government a like sum, conces-
sionaires a million and half and
exhibitors five millions. These fig
ures do not include land value, &C.
tual exhibits value, etc. When these
are included they justify the char
acterization of ''Texas' $25,000,000
birthday party" Texas is giving
this party not only for her own
people but for the people of the
rest of the United States and for
the whole world as well.
Prominent among those whose
memory will be honored during the
centennial celebration is Stephen
f. Austin, the "Father of Texas"
A few years ago a Texas publica-
ton printed an editorial tribute to
him which said:
austin was the father of Texas

can civilization west of the Sabine
so deeply that it could never be
uprooted. He was consciously and
deliberately a builder. He went
about his task Systematically and
patiently. And the Texas of to.
day is his monument. We like to
recall that Austin started the col
OniZation of Texas because he had
lost everything he had in the de
preston of 1919, and began his
work burdened by an oyerwhelm
ing load Of debt. We like to re
call also that the Republic OF
Texas was set up and established
in the midst of the depression OF
1887 and the lean years imme
diately following. Modern Texas
is the result of the labors ant
sacrifices of the founders in the
midst of two depressions. Is there
not inspiration for us today in al
this?"
There must have been inspira
ton for Texans in Austin's ex
ample. Caught in the midst of theil
preparations for their centennial
celebration by the depression which
began in 1929, they never wavere(
in their determination to follow
the example of that other famou!

ceeded to ''go ahead" And tn,

Sample Fair to Be Held By Ladies' Aid Society Mon.

Naugatuck, Jan. l0--Iast July, the Methodist church gave the first sample Fair that Naugatusk had seen, and 1t was such q suc- cess that numerous requests were received for another. And now, slx months later, the Methodist church announces, under the sponsorship of It's Ladies' Aid Society, the sec- end Sample Fair, to be held two weeks from Monday night, on Jan- uary 2T, from 2 until 10 p. in., in the church hall on Meadow street.
 The fair will be somewhat dilEer- ently conducted from the first oTiC, experience having suggested some pleasant changes. The admission tickets will permit the holders to great numbers of samples. mostly different from the samples given last time, of food, drugs, and Iner. chandise. Door prizes will add to the interest In the Sample Fair. And, throughout the three hours of the fair, continuous entertain. ment-absolutely free--will be pre- beuVeu On tHe hJABo, HcLuuuB jazS orchestra, movies; and Miss Doris Snyder, tap.danoing teacher of Waterbury, will bring i've of her pupils for the evening.
 The John Wesley class will op- crate Q hot dog stand. Exactly 200 tickets have been printed, and, in order to have sufficient sam. ples for the 200 holders of those tickets, no mora than that number can be sold. Already nearly Q fourth of them have been pur. chased In the first day of sale. Any. one wishing e Sample Fair ticket should get directly in touch with the minister, Rev.
