within the American Union. Death
came to Austin at the age Of 4S years.
What . contrast to the days when
the two Virginians, Houston and Aus
tin, trod the primeval wilderness, q
short century ago, the Texas Of today
presents. Live stock, fishing, cotton,
sheep, wool. dairy products, agricul-
ture in abundance-how could the
pair Of Virginia boys who ventured to
the crude Southwest envision such an
empire as Of today? But they builded
well, for they were made of courage,
determination, statecraft and the stuff
Of which heroes are.
And 1t Is interesting to observe that
Col Andrew Houston, son Of the old
general, Is still alive. And at the
recent celebration at San Jacinto bat
tleground, he guided a 1o0-year-old
plow, drawn by oxen, over the ground
and turned the first furrow for the
foundation Of q monument to his L.
lustrious sire, the pioneer boy of Vir-
ginia, the Senator from Texas, the
Representative from Tennessee. the
President of the Republic Of Texas
and the Southerner who refused to
honor the Confederacy.

BY 1925 some 800 families were
settled on his Land grants, most Of
them from the United States. Austin
became an official Of the Mexican gov.
ernment and member Of the Legisla-
ture. He favored the separation Of
Texas from Coahuila as a new state
within Mexico. For espousing the
cause too warmly. he was accused Of
fomenting separatist movement and
wishing Texas to be . part Of the
United States.
WHEN Austin, the pacifier. returned
to his beloved Texas from Mex
leo City. he found revolt seething.
Houston defeated him for the presi-
dency of the Republic OF Texas, but he
became Secretary Of State. He came
to Washington to negotiate loans and
recognition for the new republic.
This slight, small mana giant In
colonizing Texas and virtually . die
tator there-was an author. Austin s
colony in Texas Is the way that his
tory knows his earlier enterprise there.
Under his wing, Americans hocked
into the new land Of opportunity
and thus made it ripe for statehood

He was born at the lead mines, now
in Wythe County on the southwestern
frontier Of Virginia. Moses Austin.
outstanding merchant and mine
owner. was his father, of old New
England stock.
In 1893 they moved TO Missouri.
Austin was a student at Colchester,
Conn, and later went to Transylvania
University at Lexington, KY. Store
keeper. mine manager, bank director,
adjutant of Militia and Territorial
Legislature member-these were the
high lights in the career of this son
of the Old Dominion.
On he went into Arkansas. and
there was named circuit judge. Then
to New Orleans went this wanderer,
studied law, and became a newspaper
man. His father had secured a grant
Of land In Texas, and thither went
the son in 1921. The grant had been
under the old Spanish government,
and when the new Republic Of Mexico
came into being. there was an argu-
ment about the validity of the papers.
Young Austin went to Mexico City
to investigate, and was detained, but
powerful friends secured his release.

Gallons of Water
Not One Drop For Fire
Water Tank At Northern Pacific
Tracks Caught Fire Tues
day Afternoon

Gallons of water inside but not
a drop to put out the fire. At least
that was the situation on Tuesday
afternoon until the Sank Centre
Fire Department was called to
quell a blaze at the Northern Pac-
ific railway water tank.
A frozen intake pipe was the seat
of trouble, when a fire started to
thaw it got out of hand. The fire
caught unnoticed and scaled UP to
the tank itself and burned merrily
between the several walls. Firemen
were presented a knotty problem
on how best to quell the blaze
Hoses were run up through the
door into the inner walls Of the
tank, and amid a maze of timbers
firemen extinguished the fire. Fire
Chief, George Fish, who has been
i'll since last fall, was on duty for
the first time in quite a while, and
the Fire Ladies' were glad to have
the Chief with them.

WPA Recreational
Program Organized
Splendid Interest In Opening
Events Shown In Sank Cen
tire, Says Ray Steir

The recreational program set up
under WPA in Stearns county is in
full swing, says Ray Steir, director
Of the Sank Centre unit. Nearly s.
900 people have taken part in the
county recreational program to
date. Twenty-four workers have
been assigned to the supervision of
the various units.
During the past two weeks of
February 1900 people took an &C
tive part in the program; S61 peo-
pie were spectators. During the
first two weeks of February S16
people took an active part in the
program. The increase in the num-
Der of participators is indicative of
the increased interest in the pro-
gram on the part of the public,
WPA officials pointed out.
In Stearns county recreational
units of the program have been
set up in the ten following towns:
Melrose, Sank Centre, Brooten, Bel
grade, Paynesville, Richmond, Cold
Spring, Albany, Kimball, and St.
Cloud. In the smaller towns one
person acts as supervisor for all
units in his particular town; in st.
Cloud there is a supervisor for each
unit. The work in Sank Centre is
well under way and considerable
interest has been shown in open
ing events.
These ten towns were chosen as
unit centers because the WPA re-
creational superintendent received
from local groups of
citizens in these particular towns.
It is hoped to establish centers in
other Stearns county towns in the
future.
Units in the various towns in
clude work in physical education,
basketball, volley ball, hiking for
the purpose of nature study, dram
atics, bands, handicraft, and indus

missioner N. w. Elsberg, State
Treasurer Julius Schmahl and
State Auditor Stafford King, has
estimated the 1895 fund at $4.550, 900
compared with $4,441, 647 in 1885.
Stearns county, which is exceed
ed only in total amounts derived
from this aid by Hennepin, Itasca,
Ramsey and st. Louis counties, will
receive from the allotment from
the one-mill tax SIT ,O52.00, and from
the allotment from the gas tax
$50, 10000; or a total of $77,452 90
from both. Todd county's allotment
from the one-mill tax will be S10,-
124.00 and from the gas tax allot-
ment will total SAL, 10000.
The allotment board estimated
1885 receipts from the state one
mill road tax at 100000 and from
one-third of the state gasoline tax
at $3,500,000. Receipts from these
two sources constitute the states
toward Improvement
of county roads. Distribution of
the funds to the individual coun-
ties is based on a percentage for
mula established by law. The one
mill tax funds are used on state
aid roads in the county and the gas
tax funds are used on county-aid
roads.

Business Men Hear
Talk On WPA Work
Victor Christgau Spoke In This
City Wednesday Noon At
Dinner

Victor Christgau, administrator
of the Works Progress Admins
tration of the State of Minnesota,
spoke to large group of business
men at a dinner at the Palmer
House Hotel Wednesday noon.
Mr.. Christgau interestingly re-
viewed the events which led up to
the formation of the WPA, for the
purpose of employing men and wo-
men on the relief roles in useful
work instead of placing them on
the dole. He stated that lack of
funds prevented new projects
from being instituted at this time
and that it would probably be
June S0th before new projects
could be allowed.
He stated that it was his hope
that Congress would provide some
permanent measure to carry on
work of this nature in the future,
as the load would be too great to
be dumped onto the individual
states at this time. Ee stated that
WPA had guaranteed social stabil-
ity to those unfortunate men and
women, who through lack of en-
ployment had been placed on the
relief roles.

Persistent Abdominal
Pain Is Serious
Doctors Warn Against Neglecting
Taking Laxatives For
stomach Pain

st. Paul, Minn.-The sooner the
"acute appendix" is out, the better
for the patient.
A study Of approximately 5000
cases operated for appendicitis in
a large city hospital is reported in
the bulletin issued by the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton today. This study shows that
the death rate from appendicitis is
not going down as 1t should.
Death rates from appendicitis
will not go down much, according
to the bulletin, until people learn
that persistent pain in the stomach
or abdomen is likely to be danger
Gus and that home dosing with lax
atives, which produce undesirable
movement in the abdomen, may
hasten perforation of the appendix
and lead to a general peritonitis.
The doctors note, also that more
than half of the critical cases in
this study followed upon first at
tack. They caution appendicitis pa
tients against any disposition to
neglect a first attack on the mis-
taken notion that first attacks al
ways subside without serious con-
sequences.

Farmers Urged To
Check Seed Corn

times in order to make possible the
saving of the more plump kernels
which generally have a higher ger
mination and likewise carry a high
er amount of plant food available
for the terminating embryo when
the seed is planted in the ground.
Folks having other small grain like
oats and barley with very poor
termination due to bin burning
should make every effort now to
secure a satisfactory supply Of seed
from other folks who got their
grain threshed and stored in pro-
per shape before the wet weather
set in last fall.
The seed corn situation while
planting time is two months away
demands the attention of most peo-
pie. A general test should first be
made of all the corn that is being
kept for seed to get a general idea
as to what kind of a termination
can be expected from the entire
lot. Should this termination test
reveal an average test Of 80 per-
cent or less, an ear test should be
carried out to segregate the nom
growing ears from those that will
grow satisfactorily. Should the gen.
eral termination be so low that the
ear test would be impractical, an
effort should be made now to get
a supply of satisfactory seed corn.
