THE STANDARD BLUE BOOK — TEXAS
PREFACE
In the production of this authoritative work, with the valu-
able assistance of our most progressive citizens, we have en-
deavored to maintain high standards in every respect and
evolve something of real merit and worthy of the commenda-
tion of all who are interested in the advancement of Texas.
This volume includes only a portion of the great State of
Texas. Our next edition will be devoted to other cities and
sections not included herein.
The object of the work is three-fold in its nature: To place
before the people of the United States reliable historical, edu-
cational, social, biographical, financial, industrial and general
information which will exert a powerful influence in behalf of
Texas by making known in a most effective way, her many at-
tractive advantages, great undeveloped natural resources, in-
dustrial development and opportunities, remarkable financial
strength, excellent educational facilities, social refinement and
splendid type of citizenship. The resultant effect of this will
inevitably be the enrollment, under the banner of the great
Lone Star State, of additional desirable citizens, active capital
and thriving industries, for the upbuilding of our State and the
increasing of prosperity within our borders.
To preserve, in the libraries and homes of Texas, a permanent
record of our progress along various lines and a fair represen-
tation of the men and women identified with our commercial,
professional and social activities at this time. The great his-
torical value of this book to the future generations of Texans is
beyond realization at the present time.
To make imperishable the splendid records of our patriotic
men and women who thrust aside their own interests and put
on the Armor of Service and Sacrifice in the recent great strug-
gle for the liberation of humanity, and also to create a lasting
memorial which will perpetuate, in the libraries of the Nation
and in the historical organizations, public libraries and homes
of Texas, the names of our noble Texas heroes who made the
supreme sacrifice of their lives that we may have freedom
THE STANDARD IJIA'K BOOK — TKXAS
The credit for the existence of this book and all the good it
will accomplish in various ways, at home and abroad, is due to
those loyal, public-spirited, patriotic Texans shown herein as
the creators of it. Much praise is due those who by their pat-
ronage made possible the production of this splendid edition.
In justice to those having- personal representation herein, we
wish to state that no one was included in this work biographi-
cally or pictorially at his or her own request, but only because
of having been favorably passed upon, as to eligibility, by a
local Selective Advisory Committee.
THE BIOGRAPHICAL SECTION gives concise, conservative
data regarding bankers, educators, attorneys, officials, manu-
facturers, physicians, dentists and other professional and busi-
ness men and women, constituting a reliable record reflecting
credit upon our citizenship.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS of Texans identified with various
professional, social, musical, educational, civic and commercial
activities are shown to make better known to the citizens of our
entire State those entitled to this recognition and also to serve
as a most effective and dignified introduction of them to the
people of other States. This feature adds a phase of deep hu-
man interest not otherwise obtainable.
THE SOCIAL REGISTER contains a carefully selected list
of names passed upon favorably, as to eligibility, by thoroughly
competent local Selective Social Committees. This registration
is complimentary and above price.
THE HONOR ROLL of the Military Section perpetuates all
the available names of those brave Texans who so heroically
fought and made the supreme sacrifice of their lives, in the re-
cent great World War.
In the MILITARY SECTION due recognition is given for the
valor, heroism, sacrifices and effective service rendered by our
patriotic men and women.
To our patrons and the many Chambers of Commerce, Mer-
chants' Associations, Banks, Officials and others who by their
effective co-operation assisted in the great success of this un-
dertaking, we take this means of expressing our grateful ap-
preciation. THE PUBLISHERS.

TEXAS AND ITS RESOURCES
Written Especially for the Standard Blue Book
By JAMES Z. GEORGE
Vice President and General Manager Texas Chamber of Commerce , Dallas
THE wealth of Texas consists in a large
part, in land. The State ranks first in
total area and in 1910 fifth in population.
At the time the census of 1910 was taken
there were 167,937,720 acres of total land
area. Of this amount 27,360,666 acres were
improved farm lands.
Surface features of the State are : The
low coastal plains, the more level rolling
timber country, the plateaus and high plains
region and the mountain base region of the
trans-Pecos country. Over the greater part
of the State the rainfall is sufficient to in-
sure a successful grain crop without irriga-
tion. The normal annual precipitation ranges
from 50 inches along the eastern boundary
to about 10 inches in the western counties.
Irrigation is practiced extensively in the
rice growing counties on and near the Gulf
of Mexico and in the localities in the valleys
of the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers, where
the annual precipitation is light.
Population. The population of Texas in
1909 was 3,896,542, an increase of 27.8 per
cent from 1899 to 1909. At that rate of in-
crease the present population would be 4,-
779,780; however, the rate of increase was
undoubtedly greater on account of the in-
creased activities in oil fields and industrial
lines that brought an influx of people from
other sections of the country. In 1910 75.9
per cent of the people of the State lived on
farms or in cities or villages with a popula-
tion less than 2500. This was a decrease of 7
per cent as compared to the census of 1900.
The wage-earners of the State number 70,230
according to the last census report, and were
employed by 4588 establishments.
Railways. Transportation facilities of the
State are exceptionally good. In 1918 there
were 15,739 miles of railway track, not
counting logging roads, tramways, inter-
urban and other lines not meeting the re-
quirements of common carriers. At that
time there were 116 railroad companies op-
erating in the State.
Agriculture. Texas was the only State in
the Union which in 1919 produced more
than a billion dollars' worth of agricultural
products. The census of 1919 indicated that
there were at that time 417,770 farms, 47.4
per cent of which were operated by owners.
The average per acre value of farm land at
that time was $14.53. Texas in 1919 led all
other States in the production of "King
Cotton" and ranked third in the production
of "King Corn."
Cotton. The 1919 crop is estimated as
3,064,977 bales, valued at more than $536,-
374,000. This is more than one-fifth of the
total estimated production of the United
States. During the season of 1918 and 1919,
it is estimated that 1,637,783 bales of cotton
were sent to Great Britain, France and other
continental ports from Texas. Texas has the
world's great cotton port. During Novem-
ber of 1919, 418,000 bales were shipped from
this port.
Corn. The 1919 corn crop for the State
of Texas was 202,800,000 bushels, valued at
$239,304,000. This was an increase of about
137,000,000 bushels as compared to the crop
of 1918. Only two other States had higher
total yields than this.
The State ranks third in oats production,
eighth in winter wheat production and sec-
ond in broom corn and peanuts. One-twelfth
of the sweet potatoes in the United States in
1919 were produced in Texas. Texas leads
all other States in production of grain sorg-
hum, producing twice as much as the two
States with the next largest yield and a little
less than one-half the total production of the
United States. Texas also produced more
than one-seventh of the total rice produced
in this country; the 1919 crop was 6,998,000
bushels, valued at $19,500,000.
Records of the United States Bureau of
Markets show that shipments of produce
from Texas to out-of-State markets during
1919 totaled more than 13,662 car loads.
Live Stock. Texas 111 1919 ranked third in
aggregate value of live stock. The total
value of cattle, hogs, sheep, horses and mules
is estimated as being $572,000,000. The esti-
mated value of meat animals in the State is
$348,000,000. Only two States have more
horses than Texas. There are 1,199,000, valued
at $115,104,000. This State has more mules
than any State in the Union, the total being
just a little less than the total mules in Geor-
S'ia and Missouri combined. Texas mules
10
THE STANDARD BLUE BOOK — TEXAS
have a total value of $109,760,000. The dairy
cows in this State number 1,138,000, valued
at $87,626,000. Beef cattle number 4,458,000,
valued at $186,344,000. Texas has more than
2,790,000 sheep, valued at $27,621,000. The
wool clip in 1919 was more than 14,000,000
pounds. Most of the Texas wool is shipped
to Eastern markets, shipments being made
by water. It is estimated that Texas will
produce in 1920 more than 1,575,000 pounds
of mohair, worth at least $945,000. It is
estimated that Texas produced in 1919 more
than one-half of the mohair produced in the
United States. In 1919 in Texas there were
2,356,000 hogs, valued at $45,942,000.
Industrial. The 1914 Census of Manufac-
turers indicated that at that time there were
5084 manufacturing- establishments in the
State, employing more than 78,850 people.
The total capital invested was $283,545,000,
and total value of products was $361,279,000.
In manufacturing' may be found one of the
largest items of the State's wealth.
Banks. There are 1708 banks in the State,
with total resources of more than $1,414,-
920,080. In 1880 there were only thirteen
National banks, with total capital of but
$1,300,000; today there arc 552, with total
resources of $965,855,000. On February 28,
1920, there were 964 State banks, with total
resources of $411,165,080. In 1906, there
were only 136 such banks, with capital stock
of little more than $4,875,000. There are also
in the State 192 private banks, with resources
approximately $37,900,000.
Oil. It has been estimated that more than
$600 000,000 has been invested in oil in Cen-
tral Texas alone and that $200,000,000 has
been invested in this industry in the coastal
fields, a total of $800,000,000. In 1889 the
production of oil in the State was only 148
barrels. In 1919 it was 96,000,000 barrels.
The total production of the State to date is
more than 417,000,000 barrels. During 1919
there were 3347 wells in North Texas alone.
More than one-fourth of the oil refined in
the United States is refined in Texas. In
January, 1920, there were operating and un-
der construction 100 refineries. It has been
estimated that the sum paid to Texas land
owners for oil leases in the new fields is
more than $1,000,000,000.
Lumber. The most recent figures show
that Texas has 427 saw mills operating on
a year 'round basis and that, in addition,
there are 314 smaller mills operating through
a portion of each year. The lumber output
in 1918 was 1,350,000 board feet ; the grad-
ual decrease during the three-year period
being caused primarily by war conditions
and war-time restrictions on building and
not by any scarcity of standing timber. It
is estimated that the cut for 1919 will run
1,500,000,000 board feet. It is also estimated
that Texas has about 25,000,000,000 feet of
merchantable pine timber and 10,000,000,000
feet of mercantile hardwood timber. About
23,000 persons are employed in the lumber
industry. The value of lumber manufactur-
ed in Texas annually is over $40,00,000. The
capital invested in this industry is computed
to be between $30,000,000 and $35,000,000;
65 to 70 per cent of the lumber manufactur-
ed in Texas is used by Texas citizens.; the
remainder is shipped northward, and for the
most part finds markets in Kansas, Okla-
homa, Iowa, Illinois and adjacent States. A
relatively small amount of lumber is being
shipped abroad from the ports of Orange and
Port Arthur. The citizens of Texas use
fully as much lumber as is manufactured in
the State, and an export supply is available
because the Panhandle and other parts of
West Texas have quite a lot of fir lumber
shipped in from the Pacific coast and North-
west. Practically all the timber in Texas
suitable for production of lumber is found
in the eastern part of the State. The lum-
ber industry in Texas ranks first in number
of wage-earners, second in number of estab-
lishments and fourth in value of products,
according to the United States Census of
Manufacturers for 1914. Texas has about
25,000,000 acres of land covered by tree
growth, or more than any other State.
Coal and Lignite. There are at this time
eleven coal mines and thirty-seven lignite
mines operating in the State. The daily out-
put from the 17 coal shafts is estimated as
being 1000 tons, very little of which goes to
the general public, as most of it is used by
the railroads. The 37 lignite mines operate
through 37 shafts. The general supply of
coal is taken as 8,000,000,000 tons, and the
total workable area being about 8200 square
miles, with additional area of about 5300
square miles in which available seams may be
found. There are about 60,000 square miles
in which lignite abounds. This is nearly one-
half the total known lignite area in the
United States. The general supply of lignite
is taken as 30,000,000,000 tons. There has
been a remarkable growth in the lignite in-
dustry during the past few years. In 1904
THE STAXDAKD IJIA'E BOOK — TEXAS
11
the output was estimated as little more than
421,500 tons. In 1913 it was 1,144,515 tons.
Lignite is used for the most part as fuel un-
der stationary boilers, but about 20 per cent
of the production goes for making gas to be
sent to gas engines. It is also used in hollow
tile works for imparting porosity to the til*'
as well as to add strength.
Clay Products. In 1913 the State was ninth
in production of common brick and sixth in
value, eighth in production of front brick
and sixth in value, and eleventh in sewer
pipe production. In 1916 it was estimated
that the value of clay products produced in
this State had reached $50,000,000 or more.
Sulphur. Texas and Louisiana together
produce 99 per cent of the sulphur produced
in the United States. The bulk of that pro-
duced in Texas is shipped by water to East-
ern fertilizer manufacturing concerns. The
principal deposits in Texas are found in salt
dunes of the Gulf coast plains. Free-port is
the greatest sulphur district of the South.
reports from the United States Tariff Com-
mission, published in 1919, indicate that
there are two companies in Texas and one in
Louisiana. Up until January 1, 1919, this
commission reported that two companies
produced practically all of the sulphur in
this country, one company in Texas and the
other in Louisiana, since then, however, a
third large producing company has begun
operating in Texas.
Silica. There are two companies in Texas
producing silica suitable for manufacturing
glass. One of these companies is at Santa
Anna and the other at Athens. The sand
produced at Santa Anna compares very fa-
vorably with the very best sand produced in
the Oklahoma-Texas territory. The deposit
at Santa Anna is described by Professor J.
A. Udden, of the University of Texas, as be-
ing very fine in texture and almost soft
enough to be termed pack sand. In many
places it is very pure. Sand for the manu-
facture of bottle glass, according to Profes-
sor Udden, can probably be obtained in our
southern coast country from the drifting
sand dunes. As the geologic mapping of
various counties progresses it is expected
that deposits of glass sand will be found in
such counties as Decatur, Weatherford,
Hood, Erath, Eastland, Comanche, Callahan,
Brown, Coleman, Mills and possibly Lam-
pasas. There are at this time two companies
in this State producing window glass and one
bottle glass.
Iron Ore. Valuable iron ore deposits are
found in east and northeast Texas. These
deposits are of excellent character, the ore
containing from 55 to 57 per cent metallic
ore. The area that contains workable ore
beds is about 1200 square miles, the principal
deposits being found in eleven counties. In
a bulletin published by the University of
Texas, in 1916, it is estimated that up to that
time about $3,000,000 worth of pig iron
had been produced in .the State. At the
present time there are ten firms in the State
interested in iron ore properties. Of this
number only one is known to have produced
in 1919, shipping considerable quantities of
ore to Alabama. It is not possible to make
a conservative estimate of the amount of
good grade brown ore to be had, but it is
said to be between 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,-
(II Ml tons.
Quicksilver. Principal deposits of
quicksilver in this State are to be found
in Brewster County. Real possibilities in
developing this mineral have hardly been
touched. The ore has been found in an
area of about thirty miles from east to
west and twenty miles from north to
south. In 1917 10,791 flasks, valued at
$1,136,000, were produced in Texas.
Cement. All the materials essential to
the manufacture of Portland cement are
found in the regions around Dallas, Sher-
man and San Antonio. There are eight
cement companies in Texas putting out
large production. Some of the highest
grade cement in the world is produced in
Texas. Opportunity for further devel-
opment of this industry is very attractive,
especially when the large appropriations
that have been made for road develop-
ment and the enormous amount of con-
struction work being J.one in the State
are taken into consideration.

Services Rendered by the Hon. John Henry Kirby
AS LUMBER ADMINISTRATOR IN THE WORLD WAR
f\N April 27, 1917, Mr. Kirby received a tele-
gram from Mr. B. M. Baruch, at Washing-
ton, containing the wish of the President that
he should serve as a member of the Raw Mate-
rials Committee of the Counsel of National De-
fense. He answered that he would be glad to
render any service in his power, and would
leave at once, arriving in Washington the fol-
lowing Monday morning. He closed his desk
and left for Washington and served through-
out the period when the nation was mobilizing
all industries as an effective war measure. He
served during the period when the lumber in-
dustry, acting under the direction of the Lum-
ber Committee of the Counsel of National De-
fense, of which Mr. Kirby was a member, ren-
dered such conspicuous and exceptional service
in building cantonments and other plants nec-
essary for the successful conduct of the war.
In May, 1917, he was unanimously chosen
President of the National Lumber Manufactur-
ers Association, composed of all the lumber
manufacturing associations in the United States,
regardless of species of wood production in
which they are engaged. He was chosen be-
cause of his power of organization and capaci-
ty for administration. Under his leadership the
war work of these industries was conducted in
a most orderly way and in a manner in the
highest degree satisfactory and acceptable to
the Government.
In March, 191S, he was requested by Chair-
man Edward N. Hurley, of the United States
Shipping Board, to accept the duties of Lum-
ber Administrator for the South for the pur-
pose of furnishing to the Emergency Fleet Cor-
poration, engaged in building boats for the
United States Shipping Board, timbers and
other material of wood so much needed in
that construction. At this time German fright-
fulness through the cruel and diabolical use of
the submarine was sinking the shipping of all
Nations more rapidly than the tonnage could
be produced and there was great anxiety in
the United States Shipping Board as well as in
all America. Every energy, resource and power
of this Government was then being devoted to
a shipbuilding program. Thousands of con-
tracts for wooden ships had been made both on
the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as on the Gulf,
and shipbuilders were complaining that the ma-
terial was not reaching them expeditiously. In
this crisis Mr. Hurley turned to Mr. Kirby with
request that he perform this very patriotic duty.
Mr. Kirby, who was then in Washington,
promptly accepted and immediately returned to
the South for the purpose of entering upon the
duties of the position. He returned to his home
in Houston for one day and then went direct
to New Orleans where, on March 21st, he took
charge of the timber section of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. He called to his assistance
twenty-one practical lumbermen from all of the
lumber-producing States of the South, who
joined him in New Orleans and without pay
served the government with such efficiency
that within five days from the time he took
charge of this office every requirement of every
shipyard on the Atlantic and Gulf Coast, from
New Hampshire to Texas, was filled or the ma-
terial required was in transit.
Mr. Kirby remained continuously on the job
in New Orleans from March 31st until the fol-
lowing August and during that period the great
wood ship building program of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation was not halted a minute for
lack of timber supplies, and at the conclusion
of his services there was sufficient timber in
the government yards at points where required
to build all the ships under contract.
Having finished his tasks there was no need
that he should serve longer and on August 23,
Mr. Charles M. Schwab, Director General of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, wrote him
from Philadelphia thanking him for his ser-
vices in these words:
"I am writing this letter to express to you
my sincere thanks and appreciation of the splen-
did and faithful services which you rendered
to us as Lumber Administrator. I am quite
sure the work which you did was based on
purely patriotic motives and was, no doubt, at
a considerable sacrifice of your own interests.
We are deeply grateful for your untiring ef-
forts which were of the greatest help to us
when most needed. Again thanking you and
with kindest regards, I am
Very truly yours,
CHARLES M. SCHWAB,
Director General.

HISTORIETTE OF TEXAS
BY THE HISTORY CLUB OF SAN ANTONIO,
Mrs. J. K. Beretta, President
THE history of Texas is unique in many
ways. First, we are the only State
which has been under the dominion of
six flags; second, we are the only State
which has been an independent Repub-
lic ; third, we are the only State which
really has a flag of its own; fourth, only
one other State besides Texas (excepting
the original colonies) came into the
Union without passing the probation
stage of being a territory.
The first settlement in Texas was made
by LaSalle, in the name of France, early
in 1685, on the Gulf coast, being called
Fort St. Louis. Two years later the stout-
hearted LaSalle was slain by traitorous
hands.
During this time Spain became much
exercised over the news that France had
laid hands upon what Spain considered
her territory, for she claimed everything
bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. She
sent Captain DeLeon with his Spanish
soldiers to oust the French from Fort St.
Louis. They, however, found that the
colonists, left without a leader, had near-
ly all been massacred and the fort had
been abandoned. DeLeon, taking pos-
session in the name of Spain, it is said,
called the country Texas because of the
neighboring tribe of friendly Indians —
the word Texas, in their tongue, mean-
ing friends. Others claim that our name
came from the Tehas Indians.
The Spaniards established themselves
in Texas and their Franciscan monks
founded our wonderful Missions, the
most famous being the Alamo, in 1744;
San Jose, begun in 1718, and Concepcion,
all on the San Antonio River. The two
latter were centers of activity for nearly
a century.
Being a part of the State of Coahuila,
Mexico, Texas passed under the domin-
ion of Mexico in 1821, when Mexico es-
tablished its independence from Spain.
American colonists filtered in grad-
ually and finally became numerous and
important. Mexico, becoming alarmed
at the increasing numbers of Americans,
resolved to crush their rising power.
Many battles followed, including the
massacre of the Alamo, on March 6th,
1836, and culminating with the victory
of the Americans, under General Sam
Houston, in the Battle of San Jacinto, on
April 21st, 1836.
Shortly afterward Texas formally de-
clared her independence and establish-
ed herself as a republic. Mexico refused
to acknowledge the independence of
Texas and when, in 1845, the Republic
entered the United States as the State of
Texas, war between the United States
and Mexico resulted.
Texas progressed rapidly until the
War Between the States, when it joined
the Southern Confederacy in 1861.
Unlike in the other Southern States,
the Federal armies did not penetrate the
interior and Texas thus escaped the rav-
ages and horrors of war, although it did
suffer, as did its sister States, during the
period of reconstruction after the war.
Those days of trouble and humiliation
under military rule passed with the re-
tirement of Governor Davis and the
election of Governor Coke in 1874, the
free choice of the people of Texas. Since
that time Texas has become the Em-
pire State of the South, greater in pop-
ulation and wealth than any of the
other Southern States.
To Texas:
Ever-generous Mother of Man, whether
under the fleur-de-lis of France, the
golden and bloody banner of Spain, the
eagle and cactus of Mexico, the lone star
of the Texas Republic, the Stars and Bars
of the Confederacy, or the Stars and
Stripes of the Union — glorious in your
past history, may you be even greater in
the future — Texas, fair Texas!

HOUSTON
Mr. J. O. Mack is President and General Manager of the Mack
Manufacturing Company, Macks Street, Houston, Texas. He is a
business man of note and an inventor of national reputation.
For the past ten years Mr. Mack has been an oil operator in the gulf
coast fields, during which time he was President of the Packard Oil
Company and Perry Oil Company of Edgerly, Louisiana, the Vinton
Development Company and Gulf Coast Oil Company of Vinton, Louis-
iana, General Manager of the Merrimac Oil Company of Sour Lake,
Texas.
He has been directly and indirectly connected with many of the
best oil operators in the Louisiana and Texas fields, where he could
study operation at first hand. The large manufacturing plant of which
he is the head, is devoting most of its capacity to manufacturing pat-
ented articles developed by him during that time.
Mr. Mack spent several months of the last year of the war in Wash-
ington, D. C. and New York City, at the request of the Government,
where he developed an invention to be used on the western front. It
had the endorsement of the most prominent authorities in this country.
Among the authorities who passed on and recommended its adop-
tion by the War Department were some of the leading engineers of
this country, together with some sixty United States Senators and
Congressmen.
Mr. Mack has letters from Secretary-of-War Baker, William G.
McAdoo, former Secretary of the United States, Vice President and
General Manager of the Hudson-Manhattan Railway who was the
engineer in charge, under Mr. McAdoo, when they built the Hudson
River Tunnel ; he also built the tunnel at Paris, France. Marshall
Foch, General John J. Pershing, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas A. Edi-
son, R. A. Bachman, Vice President and General Manager of the Thos.
A. Edison Company, and the French, English and Italian ambassadors
wrote Mr. Mack personally that they were anxious to see it tried out
on the Huns. Mr. Mack met practically all of these men personally
and they discussed his patent with him freely at different times and
endorsed it to the War Department.

MANUFACTURING
BY THE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION OF SAN ANTONIO.
INDUSTRIALLY, Southwest Texas is
now demanding the attention of the
Nation's most enterprising men. This is
chiefly because of its vast undeveloped
resources and the practically unlimited
opportunities its great territory offers.
ARTICLES MANUFACTURED IN
SOUTHWEST TEXAS.
In San Antonio alone, over thirteen
hundred different articles are included
in the output of its three hundred fac-
tories, which distribute more than five
million tons of wares over an unusually
large territory. Southwest Texas is de-
pendent on no one class of industry for
its support, but manufactures an unus-
ually diversified line of products. Some
of the principal articles produced are:
Brick, packing house products, dairy
products, foundry and machine shop
products, automobiles, trucks, tractors,
candy, waterproofing materials, belt
dressing, jewelry, soft drinks, cottonseed
products, soap, cigars, saddlery, chili
products, mattresses, vinegar, gasoline
and other crude oil products, disinfect-
ants, pickles, flour, marble yard prod-
ucts, celluloid wares, books, plaster
products, planing mill products, optical
goods, artificial teeth, toilet prepara-
tions, drugs, bakery products, art glass,
macaroni and similar foods, packing
boxes, cement, electricity and artificial
gas, tanks, tents and awnings, engrav-
ings, art goods, hollow tile, crushed rock,
brooms, asphalt and an endless variety
of other high-grade wares.
FUEL.
Oil and lignite are the principle fuels
used for manufacturing purposes. Wa-
terpower is also developed to a limited
extent. Electricity for industrial pur-
poses is furnished at reasonable rates in
the larger cities, as also is artificial gas,
while the greatest lignite deposits in the
United States extend throughout the re-
gion. Coal of a higher grade is also pro-
duced here and is available for those
concerns which need it. Natural gas is
going to waste in many localities at the
rate of millions of cubic feet per day,
awaiting the man who can harness and
deliver it at reasonable rates to the cities
for industrial usage.
MARKET.
Distribution of Southwest Texas man-
ufactured products reaches all parts of
the United States, and while an enor-
mous developed Texas territory also fur-
nishes a ready market for these goods,
an excellent foreign trade has recently
been developed with Mexico, South and
Central America, West Indies, Cuba,
Italy, France, Great Britain, and Ger-
many with the assistance of the Export
Trade Bureau of the San Antonio Manu-
facturers' Association, which organiza-
tion is at all times ready to assist pros-
pective Texas shippers.
FACTORIES NEEDED.
It is apparent that there is room for a
number of new factories in this fast de-
veloping section, such as knitting mills,
textile mills, hosiery mills, cooperage
works, furniture factories, glove and
shoe factories, fruit and vegetable pre-
serving plants, fertilizer, floor tile con-
cerns, tanneries, pottery and china
works, and a number of others.
All factories desiring to locate here
can rely on receiving hearty practical
co-operation from the rapidly increasing
buying public of the great Southwest.
RAW MATERIALS.
Southwest Texas is particularly fortu-
nate in possessing a bountiful supply of
many high-grade materials. Great quan-
tities of the following abound: Glass
sand, kaolin, Fuller's earth, limestone,
cotton, fire clay, marble, crude oil, build-
ing stone, brick and pottery clays, as-
phalt, trap rock, also some quicksilver,
molybdenum and novaculite. An unlim-
ited supply of artesian water is another
asset which has attracted a number of
industries to this section.
TRANSPORTATION.
Transportation facilities are adequate
and satisfactory, being taken care of by
fourteen railroads. In Port Aransas,
Southwest Texas possesses a rapidly de-
veloping ocean outlet of its own, not to
mention the excellent available connec-
tion facilities with the ports of Galves-
ton, Houston, New Orleans, Beaumont,
and Texas City, and the border points of
entry at Laredo and Eagle Pass.

The Part of the Texas Doctors in the War
BY T. T. JACKSON, M. D., SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
President Elect State Medical Association of Texas
To tell what the Texas doctors have
done in this war is an impossible
task. It would be to ask of the wind
that blew through the camps and can-
tonments of our army while all slept
but the surgeon and the sufferer; it
would be to make a witness of the
mother and father of the boy who has
been brought back to them from the
gates of death ; to make a witness of the
man who bears under his blouse the
wound of death; and more, it wrould be
to hear the stories told by the souls of
soldiers who sleep under the poppies
of France — stories we shall never hear.
I can not do this, but there are some
facts and some truths ready at hand
that may be told.
There was commissioned from Texas
the following medical personnel :
Army 825
Navy 50
National Guard... . 52
Total 927
Added to this should be 142 more rec-
ommended for commission at the time
of the signing of the armistice. There
are about 5000 active practitioners in
the State. Texas actually contribut-
ed to the war one doctor for
every 5.2 men in active medical
practice. This is a greater contribution
than that of any other profession, ex-
cept that of nursing. Late in March of
1918, the officers of the State Medical
Association of Texas made a preliminary
classification of the doctors of the State,
as to their availability for military ser-
vice. Later, the Texas Committee of
the Committee of American Physicians
for Medical Preparedness, under the
leadership of Dr. W. B. Russ, began a
survey of the profession and secured the
detail of Lt. Col. Holman Taylor for
this work. After this the Council of
National Defense, Medical Section, took
over the work of the aforesaid commit-
tee. At the urgent solicitation of the
Council of National Defense, Medical
Section, a more complete survey and
classification of the doctors of Texas
was begun in May by the acting Secre-
tary, Dr. I. C. Chase, in connection with
the State Committee of the Council of
National Defense, Medical Section. This
was an enormous task thrown upon the
central office without any extra com-
pensation to the employees of the As-
sociation. Biographical data of great
value concerning almost every doctor
in the State was accumulated and an
up-to-date directory was compiled. As
this work of final classification was
about to begin and the results be for-
warded to Washington, on August 15th,
Maj. Franklin Martin wired that the
central committee of the Council of Na-
tional Defense, Medical Section, had
been reorganized and would, from
Washington, begin a new classification,
and urged that complete questionaires
from the State, secured on new blanks,
be forwarded to Washington within a
week. Blanks for this purpose were
mailed from Washington and a new or-
ganization of county advisers were ap-
pointed by Washington authorities. This
resulted in the organization of the "Vol-
unteer Medical Service Corps," with a
new executive committee of the Texas
Governing Board of the Volunteer Medi-
cal Service Corps." This new Commit-
tee began new classifications, but had
hardly started its work when the armis-
tice was signed. Its work was not com-
plete at the time the Volunteer Medical
Service Corps was suspended in April.
This was the fourth classification un-
dertaken in Texas during the war. Al-
though these classifications, for want of
a central unified plan of action, seemed
abortive, they doubtless awakened a
great deal of interest and lead indirect-
ly to an increase in applications for
commissions. The amount of work vol-
untarily contributed by the district su-
pervisors, councilors, executive commit-
tee and county secretaries, in these sur-
veys, can hardly, and probably never
will, be appreciated by the mass of the
profession.
THE STANDARD BLUE BOOK — TEXAS
43
In connection with the draft mach-
inery the records show that almost all
available doctors took some part of the
burden upon their shoulders, in addition
to other sacrifices that they were mak-
ing and labor that they were doing. The
records of the Texas Boards in sending
clean and able men to the front ties
Connecticut for second place in the low
number of rejections, Texas having 5.12
per cent; Connecticut, 5.11 per cent,
while Maryland hardly exceeded Texas
and Connecticut, her percentage being
4.94.
There were during this war, 600 med-
ical men on district and local boards,
and 150 on medical advisory boards, to-
taling 750. This, together with those
commissioned in the Army, Navy and
National Guard, 927, and 142 who had
been recommended for commission at
the time of the signing of the armistice,
makes a total of 1,819, exclusive of the
Volunteer Medical Service Corps. This
large number of physicians serving on
boards, and those actively engaged in
war during hostilities, it will be remem-
bered, was out of about 5,000 active
practitioners of the state.
Everyone who made the sacrifice he
was called upon to make deserves dis-
tinction. Rank played but a paltry part
in this great melting pot. Some one,
some time, will tell the undying story
of the bravery and chivalry of our sons
on the Western front.
Without comparison or criticism and
with a heart full of gratitude and ap-
preciation, I desire to say that, what-
ever else may be said, or whatever oth-
er viewpoint may be taken concerning1
the part the Texas doctors played dur-
ing this war, it must be conceded that
they paid in full, and in every particu-
lar, their debt to their country, to hu-
manity and to liberty. Paid even to
their pound of flesh, paid with their
talents, their blood, their bones and
their bodies ; and greater, or more than
this, none could have done — and yet,
they paid it frankly, willingly and
cheerfully.
And while you did only the thing ex-
pected of you, you followed in the foot-
steps of your forebears, and the exam-
ples of your forefathers, who, when the
tyranny of Mexico required our blood
and treasure to procure and perpetuate
freedom ; when the question of secession
was to be settled by the arbitrament of
arms on an hundred battle fields, laid
their all on the altar of their country.
Your action was none the less heroic.
Not the least soul satisfying thought
that warms the heart of every doctor
in the contemplation of this unparal-
leled tragedy and unparalleled sacrifice
is the realization that almost if not every
physician in Texas did his or her part
to the fullest. And it is pleasing and
gratifying that there is an imperishable
record showing that many who did not
and could not for many reasons put on
the uniform, did their full duty for hu-
manity and freedom. Those who gave
their lives, health, talents and time, to
their country, serving in the very fore-
front of the battle lines; those who
spent gruelling hours over wrecked and
torn humanity on operating tables in
advanced hospitals; those serving in
base and post hospitals, and canton-
ments in this country, camp infirmaries
and all, in whatsoever position they
served, too much cannot be said in
praise, and no State can be more proud
of her sons.
I do not undertake to determine by
what occult means our government se-
lected physicians for this duty or that,
or why or how the rang or status was
fixed ; who was sent overseas and who
was left, or who was placed at the
very forefront of responsible duty or
kept in the rear; but this I do assert,
the best was neither taken nor left,
given higher or lower rank. And I,
here and now desire to pay tribute to
the doctor who, forsaking all else, clung
to his country in her hour of peril,
regardless of pay, emolument or rank,
or where, what or how he served.
Among them there must be no distinc-
tion. If our government was short of
surgeons in France, if our colleagues
were overworked, if merical men were
needed, the responsibility cannot be
laid at the door of the Texas surgeons,
for each of you know the constant cry
from the beginning to the end from the
Texas doctors was, "Here am I, send
me." If you were marooned, forgot-
ten, overlooked and left behind, the re-
sponsibility was not ours. And thank
God every Texas surgeon did his duty
44
THE STANDARD BLUE BOOK — TEXAS
and his full duty, regardless of perso-
nal equation and the refrain was "Place
me where I can do the most good."
It is with the keenest pleasure that
I now turn to the other side of the pic-
ture and am able to say with pride and
greatest pleasure, that while those in
uniform were doing their full part, the
civil surgeon was doing his and doing
more. Too much cannot be said of and
too much credit can not be given to the
unfortunate surgeon who had to stay
at home and still do his duty. The draft
machinery, Red Cross, the increased
work incidental to the departure of
many surgeons, gave opportunity to
those who stayed at home to pay and
pay in full the debt that they owed
their country, and it is unnecessary to
say again that it was paid to the fullest.
Especially should a wreath be laid at
the feet of the older practitioners of
medicine, God bless them, who had par-
tially retired from practice when the
war came, but who again picked up the
thread of practice and devoted them-
selves assiduously to the work that had
previously been done by younger men.
I know phySiC.ans over 65 years of age
who during the war did not decline a
single call ; and I feel that more than
this, no man has done. With examples
like these, is it to be wondered that our
younger men filled full the measure of
their duty?
And truly the doctor to whom my
heart goes out the most, is the unfor-
tunate surgeon whom circumstances and
conditions prevented from going to the
front when his soul cried out to join the
innumerable caravan that was march-
ing on to victory or to death. Texas
had many of these and they carried a
burden and did a duty absolutely sub-
lime in its nature and stupendous in its
character; and the services they ren-
dered to our State Association, to our
institutions of learning and to many
semi-public and private enterprises, of
which the world could know nothing,
were second to no duty that any son of
the State has done.
I cannot refrain from here mention-
ing the one man who stands out particu-
larly prominent in this kind of service:
the man who has carried the burden of
our Journal and assisted in the affairs
of our State Association, as no other
man could have done. I refer to Dr.
Ira Carleton Chase. When the war was
apparently tumbling our house down
around our ears, when it looked as
though suspension and disorganization
stared us in the face, it was he who
stepped into the breach and gave us his
time and his talent to a degree that
could not have been expected of any
one.
These things and more have been
done by the doctors of Texas. We have
done our duty, done it willingly and
cheerfully, not boastfully, or arrogantly;
yet we do boast of one man, the valiant
man of our profession whom we loaned
to the line to command the most feared
organization on earth — a regiment of
Texas Infantry. I refer to Lieutenant
Colonel Holman Taylor, who led a reg-
iment of our boys through the fiery fur-
nace. And now his duty done, he lays
down his title and rank of Commission
and proudly assumes that of Doctor of
Medicine and becomes again our be-
loved and efficient Secretary.

The Texas Public Health Association
Written Especially for It.. Standard Blue Book
THE Texas Public Health Association,
with state offices at 616 Littlefield
Building, Austin, is a society incorpor-
ated under the laws of Texas and formed
by a number of prominent Texas citizens
who are interested in health — especially
the fight against tuberculosis.
The principal aims of the association
are: To disseminate knowledge con-
cerning the causes and methods of pre-
vention of communicable diseases, in-
cluding tuberculosis; investigation of the
prevalence of such diseases in Texas, ana
the collecting and publishing of useful
information; securing of proper legisla-
tion to promote the relief and suppres-
sion of such diseases ; co-operation with
other health organizations; promoting
active public health work; and encoiu-
agement of adequate provision for con-
sumptives and those suffering from other
preventable diseases, by establishment
of sanatoria, dispensaries, and otherwise.
The activities of the association are
financed chiefly through the sale of
Christmas Seals and the gifts of friends
interested in public health. All the funds
received are used for health work, the
association's share going to aid Texans
in Texas.

and F. R. Barnwell, lecturer to Negroes.
Some of the work done by the associa-
tion in 1919 includes the distribution of
1,171,942 pieces of health literature over
the state: 431 lectures given to 68,506
people by members of the staff; 326
school talks made before 60,227 school
children; field workers conferred with
134,017 Texas people on health.
The association carried the Modern
Health Crusade to 416,000 school chil-
dren in 135 counties of the state; the
public health nurse examined 2,827 chil-
d>-en in 60 Texas cities and talked to
17,000 school children; health surveys
were made in four Texas cities: the
Mexican secretary lectured to 4,904 of
his people, and formed health societies;
the lecturer to Negroes traveled 8,149
miles, addressed 30,654 school children
and talked with 55,541 Negroes on
health.
Other important work of the associa-
tion for 1919 was: Inspection of sana-
toria; employment of publicity secretary
to assist in public health education; pub-
lishing a monthly health magazine;
sending a Mexican health exhibit, the
only one of its kind in the United States,
among the Mexican people; assistance
of local anti-tuberculosis societies and
co-operation with other health organiza-
tions; health speakers sent to summer
normal institutes; sent a field worker
into 11 army camps where he lectured to
18,025 soldiers on health; and furnished
a speaker on health for the tour of the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce.

AUSTIN
Written Especially for the Standard (tin, Book
By THE AUSTIN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The natural beauty of the country
surrounding Austin was responsible for
this particular point in Texas being se-
lected for the location of the State Cap-
itol.
Austin is the hub for a territory of
265,000 square miles, within which live
nearly five million people. It is there-
fore befitting that this city with the en-
vironment which nature has given it,
should be the leader of all the cities of
Texas in art and education.
The State University, which is located
in Austin, now has more than 4,000
students..
The Texas School for the Deaf, the
Texas School for the Blind, the Texas
Wesleyan College, the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, the School for
Defectives.
Surrounding the city there is rich ag-
ricultural land. The major portion of
this soil is black prairie land, all of
which is under cultivation and is pro-
ducing abundant crops of cotton, corn
and hay. There is also a lesser portion
of the county covered by the Colorado
River Valley, practically every acre of
which is under cultivation. This soil
produces large crops of cotton, corn,
oats, vegetables and fruits.
For centuries the Colorado river has
been cutting its way through the moun-
tains until it has left high cliffs and
peaks which offer remarkable scenery
for the pedestrian or autoist. Auto
roads traverse the hills and valleys of
this section. White perch, bass, buf-
falo trout and catfish are found in large
quantities in the mountain streams and
in Lake Austin, which is nearly 28 miles
long and offers a source of attractive
outings all the year around.
The City of Austin has the commis-
sion form of Government, which has
proven most successful ever since its
adoption in 1909. The aggregate wealth
of the city is estimated at $75,000,-
000.00, and the bonded debt is $2,545,-
000.00. The directory census of 1920
gives this city a population of 47,409.
The Bank Clearings for Austin in
1919 were $213,728,048.82, and the
Postoffice receipts for 1919 were
$249,773.84.
Many parks are scattered about the
city, their grassy slopes dotted with live
oaks ages old and mountain laurel
grows in profusion. Among these are
Wooldridge Park, Pease Park and City
Park at Lake Austin.
The area of the city is 16 square
miles, and the altitude ranges from 650
to 900 feet. There are several attrac-
tively parked additions to the city,
among which are Hyde Park, Aldridge
Place, Enfield and Travis Heights. There
are 185 miles of streets, 21 miles of
which are paved. There are 66 miles of
sewer mains and 63 miles of gas mains.
Every church denomination is repre-
sented in Austin. Y. M. C. A. and Y.
W. C. A. buildings contribute to the
building of character. The golf links
at the Country Club are unexcelled. Be-
ing kept in perfect condition they are
well known throughout the country. The
transportation service, to every section
of the city, with over 21 miles of street
railway and the reduced fare to school
children, does much to assist in home
building.
The drainage of Austin is perfect and
complete. The city is located on hills,
and the many miles of streets, paved
with bitulithic and brick, drain perfect-
ly. All paved streets are washed and
swept, and the unpaved streets are
sprinkled.
Main line railroads to Austin are the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway; In-
ternational Northern Railway and South-
ern Pacific Railway.
There are many cities which are
greater commercial towns or more act-
ive industrial centers, but there is no
city which excels Austin as a place in
which to live. Its people and its insti-
tutions, as well as the natural environ-
ment surrounding the city, make it a
place where character stands above ev-
erything and where the best to be found
in life can be obtained.

BEAUMONT
Is located in Jefferson County, Texas,
on the Neches river, connected with the
Gulf of Mexico with a 26-foot tide level
canal, and is the only fresh water har-
bor on the Gulf; a sheltered port free
from tropical storms. Through Beau-
mont and the Panama Canal commerce
will find an easy and short route to the
western coast of South America, a coun-
try rich in resources and heretofore in-
accessible to the United States except
through San Francisco or around the
Horn. It is, by reason of the location
and concentration of railroads, the cen-
ter of great natural wealth in Timber,
Oil and Minerals.
Beaumont's proximity to the Gulf tem-
pers the summer sun, and it is cooler
than in the central Mississippi valley, a
southeast breeze from salt water pre-
vails in the hottest months. In the
winter the temperature rarely goes be-
low the freezing point, and the days
are warm and balmy.
It has a population of 43,000.
Assessed property valuation $35,000,-
000.
Tax rate, $1.57.
Bonded indebtedness, $2,485,900.00.
Accumulated sinking fund, $590,215.
Municipally owned and operated wa-
ter supply system furnishing 3,000,000
gallons of pure and wholesome water
daily. Maximum capacity of the plant,
12,000 gallons every twenty-four hours.
Thoroughly modern wharf and dock
system, municipally owned and oper-
ated.
Five brick fire stations, all well equip-
ped and the most efficient fire depart-
ment of any city its size in the United
States.
Thirty-five miles of paved and shelled
streets.
Ninety miles of concrete sidewalks.
Thirty miles of main sewers.
Thirty miles of gas mains.
A well organized and efficient health
department, with health board, bacte-
riologist, sanitary inspectors, meat, food,
drug and dairy inspection, city garbage
collection and incinerating plant.
Beaumont is the great jobbing and
distributing center for Southeast Texas
and Southwest Louisiana. It enjoys the
advantage of low inbound rail freight
rates, due to actual water competition.
Beaumont is the center of the largest
rice producing area in the United States,
and one of the fastest-growing fields of
diversified agriculture in the Southwest.
It is in the rain belt with an average of
48.88 inches of rainfall annually, well
distributed through the year. Ideal cli-
mate and fertile soil permit farming the
year around, with a harvest possible ev-
ery month. The home of the South Tex-
as State Fair, the second largest agri-
cultural fair in Texas, is at Beaumont.
The headquarters of the Southern Rice
Growers' Association are at Beaumont.
Beaumont is one of the centers of the
great Southwestern oil fields. Here is
located the far-famed Spindle Top Field,
the site of the famous "Lucas Gusher,"
the discovery well. Beaumont, through
her oil pipe lines, is at the mouth of
nearly every producing oil field in the
Southwest. Four big controlling line
companies and eight lines center here.
It is also the chief city of the extensive
Yellow Pine, Cypress and Hardwood
Lumber manufacturing territory of
Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisi-
ana. Thei'e are 135 saw mills within
Beaumont's trade territory, with a daily
output of over 10,000,000 feet. With
crude oil and water transported coke
and coal, fuel is cheap and great in-
dustries draw an abundant supply of
labor.

BRENHAM
Written Especially for the Standard Blue Book
By THE BRENHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DRENHAM is the most important point
on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
between Galveston and Temple, and the
most important point on the Houston and
Texas Central between Houston and Aus-
tin, hence is worthy of more than ordi-
nary attention. The history of the Lone
Star State is so firmly bound to Wash-
ington County and Brenham that the
names of these run through almost every
chronicle or narrative of early days. In
those earlier days man liked the fertile
fields that surrounded Brenham and
chose it for a fitting place to live. From
a pioneer village of the Texas Republic
days Brenham has grown into a modern
little city, with every advantage, in edu-
cation and environment, that is found in
larger places.
Brenham was attractive to those good
old Southern families who belong to the
group of the Cavaliers. The ease and
grace with which they builded this little
city upon the chosen hills is still evident.
Then came a thrifty group of immigrants
— men and women of splendid stock, who
had chosen America as their home, and
with these and those who later came
from other States Brenham gradually de-
veloped, until today, while largely de-
pending upon the farms for its prosperity
and growth, it boasts of important manu-
factories.
There is no better farm land than that
which surrounds Brenham, and especial-
ly that found only a short distance away
in the valley of the Brazos. But so va-
ried are the soil conditions about Bren-
ham that every character of crop is
grown, and the forests are filled with th<-
choicest woods. Stock and poultry rais-
ing have made great strides in recent
years and fruit raising comes in for an
important place. The largest Japanese
persimmon orchard in Texas is located
near Brenham.
The principal manufactories of the
city are : Cotton mills, cotton seed oil
mill, iron foundries, cotton compresses,
gas plant, machine shops, bottling works,
tin shops, farm implement manufactory,
peanut butter manufactory, creamery,
products, saddles and harness and mar-
ble and granite finishing works. The
city has two daily and two weekly news-
papers.
The city public schools are affiliated,
with substantial credits, with all South-
ern colleges and many others of the Na-
tion. Blinn College and the Sacred Heart
convent are located here, with valuable
properties, school buildings and dormi-
tories. There are churches of all the
well-known denominations, with splen-
did edifices.
Brenham's four wholesale grocery
firms supply a large trade territory.
The retail stores are the pride of the city.
They are modern in every respect. This
city offers splendid opportunities in ev-
ery line of trade. The banks, all with
substantial capitals, reserves and depos-
its, reflect the prosperity of the com-
munity. They show total deposits of
$2,000,000.00. The taxable valuation
of Washington County is $12,000,000
while that of the City of Brenham is
over $3,000,000.
Oil developments have attracted con-
siderable attention to Washington Coun-
ty, and with wells in the field near the
city which are producing a small quan-
tity of oil and deep tests which soon will
be made, the petroleum possibilities of
the county promise to be thoroughly ex-
ploited.
Bonds have been sold for the expendi-
ture of $1,500,000 on roads of the coun-
ty, one of the principal projects of which
will be completing the Washington
County portion of the Houston-Austin
highway. Wonderful possibilities of
growth are opening up. New houses are
being erected and new businesses are
constantly being started. Brenham is in
the real road of progress. Its property
values have increased tremendously and
with the new incentive which it is receiv-
ing toward material growth it offers op-
portunities in almost every line of en-
deavor and appeals, as a place to select
for a real home town, like few other
places in the State.

CORSICANA
"THE CITY AWAKE"
Written Especially for the Standard Blue Book
By THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CORSICANA is the county seat of Na-
varro County, and is located in the
"Heart of the Black Land Belt" of Cen-
tral Texas.
Corsicana has the distinction of hav-
ing the first Oil Field discovered west of
of the Mississippi river. This field was
first brought in in 1896 and has been
producing ever since, in fact the first
wells brought in are still producing. The
daily production of the Corsicana field
is now 1,500 barrels of high gravity oil.
The present production all comes from
shallow wells, but there are now nine
deep tests going down and twenty more
proposed. This field has never had a
deep test for oil and as all of the other
oil fields of this State and Oklahoma
have been shallow fields before the
deep oil was found, the operations now
in progress and those to follow will un-
doubtedly find the deeper sands and
the daily production will be increased
many thousand times. Corsicana is the
home of the Magnolia Petroleum Com-
pany, which company owns many pro-
ducing wells in this field and has a big
refinery located here. The output of
this refinery is several million dollars
annually. In addition the Magnolia Pe-
troleum Company has three eight-inch
pipe lines running through this city and
county, two from the Kansas, Oklahoma
and North Texas fields to the Gulf and
one from the Ranger field to the Gulf.
One of their largest pumping stations
is located here. Two other refining com-
panies are being organized and will
soon be operating big plants near this
city. The Texas Company has two
eight-inch pipe lines running through
this city and county from the Kansas,
Oklahoma North Texas oil fields to the
Gulf and have located here one of their
largest pump stations. Corsicana is the
home of the American Well and Pros-
pect Company, which company manu-
factures rotary oil rigs and oil well sup-
plies and sells its products all over the
world. The annua1 outnut of this com-
pany is several million dollars.
Corsicana is an important railroad
and highway center, there being three
trunk railroad lines, the Cotton Belt, H.
& T. C. and the T. & B. V. through this
city, and a branch of the Cotton Belt
to Hillsboro, also there is hourly passen-
ger and freight interurban service to all
points North. There are six highway
systems running through Corsicana, four
of which are inter-state and two state
wide. The Exall Highway north and
south, — a link of the Great Lakes to the
Gulf system, — the Denver Division of
the Exall Highway, from Colorado to
the Gulf, the D. C. D. Highway Asso-
ciation from Colorado to the Gulf and
is extending the organization to Spo-
kane, Washington, the Lone Star Trails
Association, east and west from Sa-
vannah, Georgia, to San Diego, Califor-
nia, the Roger Q. Mills Highway, from
Palestine to Hillsboro and the East and
West Texas from Tyler to Waco. Na-
varro County has over 300 miles of
piked roads but will soon vote a coun-
ty-wide good roads bond issue of suf-
ficient size to make all the highways
and community roads permanent. This
county has spent so far $1,500,000 on
good roads.
Corsicana has good schools, fine
churches, municipal form of govern-
ment, municipally owned water sys-
tem with big fresh water lake, four
strong banks, splendid social opportuni-
ties, 20 miles pavement and 75 miles
concrete and brick sidewalks.
Corsicana Factory output over $9,-
000,000. Goods sold at wholesale,
over $7,000,000. Annual pay roll over
$2,500,000. Population 17,500. Freight

HOUSTON
Written Es|>r< iall.v for the Standard Blur Book
By THE HOUSTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
UOUSTON has every condition to justify
her ambition to become a world port
with a tremendous volume of ocean
trade.
Houston has a deep water port, with a
ship channel, reaching from her munici-
pal wharves to the Gulf of Mexico, serv-
ing as the highway of ocean commerce.
How this channel was developed from
an unnavigable "bayou" to its present
depth and width, with ocean-going craft
sailing its waters to and from Houston,
forms a romantic chapter in the commun-
ity life of this city.
Fifty years ago work was first begun :
It required six years to complete the first
unit. The work was continued with vigor
and zeal, however, with the realization
that success would crown the effort to
make Houston a world port.
This arm of the Gulf now extends to
Houston's very doors. At the head 01
navigation in the city limits is a "turning
basin" excavated from mother earth and
filled with tidewater from the sea, 25
miles distant. It is here that ships turn
around and head for the sea.
On the sides of the channel at the turn-
ing basin are docks, wharves, warehouses
and railway trackage and other facilities
for loading and unloading cargoes. All
these facilities are owned solely by the
City of Houston. Although there are 18
main lire railways radiating in every di-
rection from Houston, not one foot of the
channel frontage nor a mile of railway
termiral facilities are owned bv any pri-
vate corporation. The City of Houston
pwrs not only its docks and wharves, but
its belt line railway, which connects all
docks, wharves and industrial plants on
the channel with the 18 main line rail-
ways. It will be impossible, therefore,
for the water front. of this magnificent
harbor to ever be under the control of
private corporations.
This tremendous development work
has been done at a cost of more than
seven and a half million dollars, but it is
regarded as the best invc:tment Houston
ever made.
The channel was opened to shipping in
1914. The shipping growth has been so
rapid that facilities for handling cargoes
are now becoming severely taxed and the
city government is devising ways and
means of extending and enlarging those
facilities.
We are now shipping Texas cotton
from our wharves to the markets of Eng-
land and other Nations of the old world.
We have steamship service between
Houston and Philadelphia, with the posi-
tive assurance that a new line between
Houston and New York will be establish-
ed at an early date. Boston is knocking
for admission with a steamship line in
order to reach the markets of the So ili-
west with New England manufactu-.d
goods and to secure Texas cotton 4 id
wool for the New England mills. We
have established regular service between
Houston and the ports of Tampico, V jra
Cruz, Tuxpam and other Mexican ports.
We are beginning a trade development
with Mexico that promises to reach tre-
mendous proportions.
The port of Houston, with its unparal-
leled facilities for loadirg and unloading
ship cargoes, is absolutely free to com-
merce. No charge whatever is made
against vessels entering this port. It is
the only free port in the South.
Houston's population has more than
doubled during the past ten years. Her
building growth has been phenomenal,
yet no other American city presents
greater opportunity for successful indus-
tries. There are now being built here a
dozen large office buildings, and there is
urgent need for double that number. All
lines of wholesale and retail business are
enjoying the greatest prosperity in their
history. Houston offers advantages to
all who are seeking opportunity to come
here and utilize the marvelous resources
afforded for winning success. We ex-
tend a welcome to the world, and the
Houston Chamber of Commerce is main-
tained for the purpose of lending assist-
ance to all responsible parties who desire
information or assistance in entering this
field of unlimited promise.

PORT ARTHUR
Written I s,,,, i !ll> for the Standard Him- Book
By THE PORT ARTHUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AM O N G the numerous ports which
have been developed on the Gulf
coast during the past two decades, Port
Arthur easily takes pre-eminence in
point of commodity values. In point of
tonnage movement it is in advance of
any Gulf port. This seeming incompati-
bility is due to the fact that while other
Gulf ports are heavy exporters of cotton,
which has a high value per ton, the bulk
of Port Arthur's water movement of
freight is in oil, which has not so high a
value per ton.
As a vessel-owning port, Port Arthur
ranks first among all ports south of Bal-
timore, and at the present time over
125,000 tons of American shipping carry
the name of Port Arthur as their home
port. Statistics recently compiled show
that a total of 35,000 seamen come into
this port each year.
The chief industry of the city, oil re-
fining, was commenced with the discov-
ery of oil on Spindle Top, early in 1901.
Since then, while only two refining plants
have been built in the city proper, the
two concerns have each year enlarged
their plants by an amount which would
easily be counted for another refinery.
Oil refining and shipping, with a consid-
erable amount of general cargo move-
ment, makes up the principal business of
the city, and the population, shown by
the Federal census to be between 22,000
and 23,000, is in reality something over
25,000, when the people living at the re-
fineries and who are outside the city
limits are counted.
Port Arthur has the most advanced
system of public schools in the State and
adaptation of the Gary system to local
conditions, which provides a maximum
of education in all branches, academic,
vocational and ethical, combined with
thorough attention to the physical devel-
opment of the students. This year's
scholastic enrollment is between 4500
and 5000, and the course of instruction
includes everything from arithmetic to
Latin, and from military designing to
automobile repairing. Special classes in
chemistry of oil and engineering are con-
ducted for those wishing to study along
night schools, in which adults are given
special instruction and training in any
branches they wish, is high in the hun-
dreds.
Public improvement work has includ-
ed construction of an excellent system of
asphalt and shell paved streets, sewer,
drainage and storm protection systems,
garbage incinerator plant, water supply,
abattoir and numerous other public fa-
cilities, owned by the municipality.
The city has been made the play-
ground for a large section of eastern
Texas and western Louisiana by the con-
struction of a pleasure pier with an area
of ten acres, extending half a mile into
Lake Sabine in front of the city.
At the water front the Gulf Refining
Company and the Texas Company own
private docks, and the Gulf Company's
docks are constructed along a private
harbor or basin excavated by the com-
pany. The port has a total of 11,000
lineal feet of docks, part of concrete and
part of timber construction ; a grain ele-
vator with storage capacity of 500,000
and loading capacity of 30,000 bushels
per hour, working four spouts. Ware-
houses line 5,000 lineal feet of the
wharves.
Port Arthur Canal and Dock Com-
pany, operating under State charter, own
terminals with 7400 lineal feet of
wharves. The Gulf Company has 2,200
feet and the Texas Company 200 feet of
wharves. Railroad lines transfer from
rail to ship, and vice versa. Electrically
operated ten-ton boom on lumber dock.
Mechanical handling facilities include
cranes, magnets, hoists, conveyors, etc.
Texas Company wharves equipped with
traveling conveyors with spirals to hood
for loading case oil, capacity 25,000 cases
per day.
Dry docking facilities: At present, four
repair plants. Plant under construction
will handle 3500 tons. Coal bunkering:
Basin Supply Company has derrick barge
of 500 tons capacity; will load at rate of
75 tons per hour.

CAN ANTONIO is the greatest metropo-
lis of the Southwest. The population
is estimated at 160,000. The area of the
city is 36 square miles or 23,040 acres.
There are 650 miles of streets, 336 of
which are paved.
There are 73 schools in the city, 34
public schools, 3 high schools and 36 pri-
vate schools. The total value of school
property is about $5,000,000. More than
31,477 pupils are registered in the public
schools.
There are 69 churches in the city, all
denominations being represented.
San Antonio has often been called th-3
"City of Beautiful Homes." It is esti-
mated that there are 32,000 homes in th;>
city, 50 per cent of which are occupied
by their owners. Architecture of eveiy
period and nearly every style is repre-
sented, some of the homes being amonpr
the most costly in this part of the coun-
try.
Building operations in 1918 totaled
$3,754,054, the largest figures in the last
12 years, and showing a 71 per cent in-
crease over 1917.
The city records show an assessed
valuation of $132,284,847, real estate be-
ing $96,614,407 and the personal prop-
erty $35,670,440. The bonded indebted-
ness is only $8,238,500, at an average in-
terest rate of 5 per cent.
San Antonio has a number of the most
modernly appointed and best equipped
hotels in the South, among them being
the Gunter, St. Anthony, the Lanier, the
Randall Hotel, Argyle, Maverick, Hutch-
ins, Garden, Crockett, Imperial, Majes-
tic, Travelers and Hotel Arthur.
Postal receipts for 1918 were $1,145,-
326. In 1919, the next largest year, the
receipts were $925,945.82.
SAN ANTONIO
Written Especially for the Standard Blue Book
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
San Antonio has 24 banks — National,
State and private. The combined capital
is more than $8,000,000. Deposits aver-
age $45,000,000. Cash on hand averages
$16,000,000 and loans $36,000,000.
The last surveys of the industries
show that the factories employ approxi-
mately 7000 persons, and the value of
the output for 1918 was $30,712,876. The
pay roll is in the neighorhood of $6,-
000,000 annually.
Oil and natural gas have been discov-
ered near San Antonio, which will result
in great development in the industrial
line on account of the cheap fuel that
will be supplied from these fields.
Six railroad lines, upon which ninety-
one trains enter and leave the city daily,
connect San Antonio with the North,
East, South and West. Forty-six of these
trains are passenger, and the freight
trains average forty-five daily.
An electric street car system, with 92
miles of track, operated throughout the
entire city. There are 235 miles of sew-
ers, 206 miles of sanitary and 29 miles
of storm sewers.
The water supply of San Antonio is
one of the finest in the United States, and
experts say that it is sufficient to supply
a city of 500,000. The water is drawn
from 14 artesian wells, ranging in depth
from 800 to 1600 feet, which supply
about 50,000,000 gallons daily. Most of
the hotels and manufacturing plants and
many of the irrigated gardens in and
near the city have their own wells, flow-
ing an additional 50,000,000 gallons of
water daily. This water is clear and
cold, with but little minerals in solu-
tion.
The growth of San Antonio having
sprung mainly from the service it has
THE STANDARD BLUE BOOK — TEXAS
59
rendered as a distributing point, devp1-
oping its wholesale business to about
$150,000,000 value annually, it becomes
necessary to consider the trade territory
served by San Antonio.
This trade territory covers 63 counties
and contains 68,015 square miles, or
43,529,600 acres. This is an area larger
by 3850 square miles than the combined
areas of Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Dela-
ware. The population of this territory
is nearly 1,000,000. This population
has been supported and this wealth pro-
duced on less than 15 per cent develop-
ment of the agricultural lands in the area
indicated. It is estimated that in this
territory there are between 20,000,000
and 25,000,000 acres of good agricul-
tural land fit for cultivation, but not yet
in cultivation.
The total value of the agricultural
products and live stock produced in this
area in 1918, according to official fig-
ures of the State Comptroller of Texas,
was over $200,000,000. The cotton raised
in the section in 1916 was estimated by
the State experts at 700,000 bales, with
a value of $150,000,000.
The climate of San Antonio is favor-
able to manufacturing for the following
reasons: The mildness of the climate
makes a saving in the fuel bill necessary
to the heating of plants. The length of
the days in the winter is greater than in
Northern latitudes, hence there is a sav-
ing in the lighting costs. The climate bo-
ing favorable to human life, gives greater
efficiency and a generally happier and
more contented condition of the workers.
The favorable climate, together with the
rich soil and relatively reasonable prices
of land in and near the city, makes it
possible for workmen to grow vegetables
winter and summer at their homes, and
thereby make those homes wholly or
partly self-sustaining. Money thus saved
is money made, and the workman at the
same wage makes more money under
those conditions.
The average temperature for the year
1918 was 60 degrees, the lowest in the
average being 47 degrees in January and
the highest 85 degrees in July. The rel -
tive humidity was only 60.6 degrees. Last
year there were 290 days when the sun
shone, this being slightly less than 1917,
when 322 days were counted. The
monthly average temperature and rain-
fall since 1871 follows:

TAYLOR is a city of about 10,000 popu-
lation, located in the heart of the fa-
mous "black land" belt of Texas, where
exhaustion of land is unknown. There
are farms around this city that have
been in cultivation formore than 75 years
and, without being fertilized in any man-
ner, are today producing better crops
than they did 75 years ago. This land is
the most fertile within the confines of the
United States of America and will pro-
duce any crop that is planted and prop-
erly worked, though cotton, corn, oats
and sorghum are the staple crops.
The International and Great Northern
Railway and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway junction in Taylor, giv-
ing short quick-haul to every direction of
the compass and to every market reached
by rail. Likewise giving short-haul to
the seaports at Houston and Galveston.
Taylor is the main trading center be-
tween Dallas and Houston on the M., K.
and T. and between San Antonio and Pal-
estine on the I. and G. N., which gives it
a trade territory that can not be sur-
passed.
Taylor is the best paved city in Texas,
by which we mean that it has more
square miles of paving per capita than
any other city in the State, the total be-
ing about 21 lineal miles of paved streets.
Located in Taylor is the largest deep
water well in the State. This well is
about 3400 feet deep and flows about
3,000,000 gallons of pure water within
every day of the year. This well is own-
ed by the Taylor Water Company, of
which Mr. A. J. Zilktr of Austin, Texas,
is the president.
About seven miles from Taylor is the
famous oil field at Thrall. This field is
about six years old now and, while not a
big oil field, it has some very good pump-
ing wells that produce a very fine grade
of crude oil.
The City of Taylor has a commission
form of government. The people elect
five commissioners at large, who in turn
employ a city manager, who is charged
with the executive affairs of the city.
Taylor has good schools and good
churches, clubs, lodges and other simi-
lar associations usual to a place of this
size.
Farming is the chief industry, but
there are several manufacturing con-
cerns in the city, among which may be
mentioned eight cotton gins, three oil
mills, machine shops, a large mattress
factory and two ice factories.
Mercantile lines and professional
callings are well represented by able
men, who have worked together for the
building of this magnificent little city.
Taylor has four strong, progressive
banks, that continue to show increasing
deposits each year.

TEMPLE
Written Imperially for the Standard Blue Book
BY THE TEMPLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
THE town of Temple was founded in
1881. The population today is ap-
proximately 17,000 — and "Every One a
Live One." Located 128 miles south of
Fort Worth and 212 miles north of Gal-
veston and is served by two railroads,
namely, the M. K. and t. and the Santa
Fe. An interurban railroad between
Temple and Belton, with its lines run-
ning through the main residence sections
of both cities. The two great Southwest-
ern trunk line railroads through the city
with 32 passenger trains daily. The
freight tonnage outbound from Temple
in 1919 was far greater than that of any
previous year, and likewise with the in-
bound. The railroad revenue here far
exceeds the million-dollar mark.
Temple has seven and one-half miles
of paved streets, 120 miles of concrete
sidewalks and macadam roads leading
in all directions from the city. Temple
is also one of the principal points on the
King of Trails and the Meridian High-
ways running from Canada to the Gulf
of Mexico. Every residence street is bor-
dered with large, beautiful trees, mak-
ing Temple a veritable park.
Temple has flour mills, planing mills,
sash and door works, bottling works, a
candy factory, the largest chewing gum
factory in the South, two large ice and
cold storage plants, cotton seed oil mills,
compresses, cotton gins, foundry and ma-
chine shops, mattress factory, tin and
sheet metal works, grist and feed mill,
ice cream factories, creameries, bakeries
and marble and granite works. Temple
is also a center for the wholesale grocery
houses, three of the largest in the State
being represented here.
The excellent system of public schoolr-
in Temple, managed and conducted ac-
cording to the latest improved methods,
is sufficient evidence that Temple is no
secondary city as far as educational ad-
vantages are concerned. A high school
building costing over $100,000.00, and
seven two-story brick ward buildings.
Temple churches, representing all the
leading denominations, are noted for
their size and architectural beauty.
There are three of the largest and
most up-to-date surgical institutions in
the South located here, namely: Temple
Sanitarium, the King's Daughters Hos-
pital and the Santa Fe Hospital. The
Santa Fe Hospital is used by this entire
division of the G. C. and S. Fe Railroad.
Temple owns her own waterworks
plant, valued at over half a million dol-
lars, with an unlimited water supply de-
livered to the people 98 per cent pure,
through a perfect filtration plant; also
owns her own sewerage system, valued
at more than $150,000.00.
Temple is noted for her health condi-
tions, pure water and good climate, hav-
ing an elevation of 703 feet above the sea
level and being the highest point of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railways.
Temple's growth has been steady and
substantial, and is due to the enterprise
and push of its business men and citizens.
Temple is surrounded by some of the
best cotton, grain, general farming and
stock lands in Central Texas. The cli-
mate of this section is unsurpassed. The
spring and fall months are exceedingly
delightful. Temple is considered one of
the most healthful cities in the Middle
West.
Organization and co-operation are the
essential elements of success in the af-
fairs of men and cities. The rapid
growth and development of the City of
Temple during the past few years is due
directly to the fact that its citizens are
united and co-operate in all matters per-
taining to the public welfare. It is a
progressive city that appeals to ambitious
and progressive people.
Temple is an ideal city for factory lo-
cations, .and we offer many inducements.
Temple has numerous other advantages
that make life worth living, and to the
public we extend a hearty invitation to
visit our citv.

WACO
Written Espec-ially for the Standard Blue Book
BY THE WACO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MESTLING on the banks of the Brazos
River, amidst fertile fields, the City
of Waco, originally called "Huaco," links
the peaceful and picturesque scenes of
today with the history and traditions of
the Huaco Indians who in ages past es-
tablished their village and council house
where the silvery waters of the Bosque
join those of the Brazos on its journey
to the Gulf of Mexico. With a popula-
tion of over 50,000 hospitable citizens,
who have expended money and time to
make this little city a desirable place in
which to live; with beautiful homes and
miles of paved streets lined with thou-
sands of beautiful shade trees; with a
system of public parks unexcelled in any
city of its size in the United States; with
fine schools, colleges and churches,
Waco is most aptly called "A City With
a Soul."
There are ten banks in Waco, all do-
ing a good business. Business conditions
generally are most prosperous.
Waco is located in the very heart of
the great cotton producing area of Texas,
the greatest cotton State in the world,
and many of the industries of the city
are naturally akin to cotton and its pro-
ducts. During the cotton season, hun-
dreds of thousands of bales of cotton are
marketed in and through Waco ; cotton
gins dot the county; an immense cotton
compress is located in the citv, and our
cotton oil mills manufacture the by-pro-
ducts of the cotton seed. The agricul-
tural interests of this section are not con-
fined to cotton. Practically all the crops
common to the South-Central part of the
United States are grown in Central Tex-
as. Stock raising is an important indus-
try. Near Waco are several of the larg-
est fine stock farms in the State, princi-
pal among which are the famous Good
Man Valley Farm and Wildayr Farm,
both with registered Hereford cattle,
Shropshire sheep, etc. Waco has a Cham-
ber of Agriculture, devoted to the argi-
cultural interests of this section, which
has recently brought in from Nebraska
over one hundred head of the finest hogs
that could be procured, distributing them
on the various farms with a view of rais-
ing the standard of hogs produced here.
A licensed cotton classer, gain inspector,
cattle inspector and several county agri-
cultural and demonstration agents are
kept constantly employed, looking after
the interests of our agricultural sections.
Waco is the home of a number of man-
ufacturing establishments. Candies, the
famous "Circle A" ginger ale, pickles,
rubber tires, overalls and many other
commodities are manufactured here and
shipped to all parts of the civilized
world. Several wholesale houses are lo-
cated here. We have the largest whole-
sale grocery house in the entire State of
Texas, two large wholesale drug houses,
wholesale dry goods houses and various
other wholesale concerns. A million
dollar cotton mill is now under construc-
tion and will be in operation within a
very short time. A large cordage and
twine mill will probably begin operation
soon.
Probably no other city in Texas en-
joys better transportation facilities than
does Waco, being served by the Santa
Fe., M., K. and T., Cotton Belt, I. and
G. N., S. A. and A. P., Southern Pacific
and interurban connections with Dallas,
Fort Worth, Corsicana, Sherman and
Denison. Another interurban line is now
being extended south to Temple, Belton
and southwestern points. We have di-
rect service into the great oil fields of
the western part of the State and can
serve that territory by freight or express
in the shortest possible time. Two com-
panies take care of the express from
Waco, the Texas Electric Company and
American Railway Express Company.
Waco is the home of Baylor Univer-
sity, which has a successful record of 74
years. Our public school system is one
of the best in the State. We have an ex-
cellent public library in addition to the
library at Baylor University, which con-
tains over 50,000 volumes and is open to
the public.

WAXAHACHIE
Written Especially for the Standard Blue Book
BY THE WAXAHACHIE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WAXAHACHIE, the home of Trinity
University, is one of the best towns
of its size in the State. It is the capital
of Ellis County, the banner agricultural
county of Texas and the biggest cotton
growing county in the world. Popula-
tion of Waxahachie is 10,000 and Ellis
County 64,000. The extent of the com-
mercial interests is indicated by the de-
posits of its banks, which have been
known to aggregate more than $7,000,-
000.00. The city has a beautiful park,
which is reached by the electric car line.
There are about ten miles of paved
streets now and a paving program of $1,-
000,000.00 is under way. The entire city
has cement sidewalks.
The leading religious denominations
have handsome edifices and large con-
gregations. The public schools are among
the very best in the State. A modern
fireproof high school building has just
been completed at a cost of $90,000.00.
The entire city feels a just pride in its
educational institutions. The Sims Li-
brary, built, equipped and perpetually
maintained by the generosity of the late
Nicholas P. Sims, is a power for good in
the city. Waxahachie offers splendid
inducements to persons having children
to educate. With Trinity University for
those of college age and the ward schools
and the high school for those of public
school age, all the educational needs of
prospective c;tizens are met. The splen-
did electric street car system renders
Trinity University, the ward schools, the
high school and the churches accessible
from all parts of the city.
Waxahachie is located 30 miles south
of Dallas, 40 miles southeast of Fort
Worth and 70 miles north of Waco. It
is served by the Houston and Texas Cen-
tral; Missouri, Kansas and Texas; Trin-
ity and Brazos Valley and the Texas
Electric Railways.
There are three large cotton oil mills;
a successfully operated cotton mill; a
compress; four cotton gins, one of which
is the largest in the world; a nursery
company which grows and ships millions
of trees annually; a candy factory, serv-
ing a large territory in a wholesale way;
a number of large modern garages and
other industrial institutions, all of which
make Waxahachie prominent in the com-
mercial world. The Texas Oil Products
Company is now building a refinery to
cost $650,000.00.
A public sanitarium is maintained by
an association of citizens and is loyally
patronized by the citizens of the town
and county. A campaign is now on to
provide larger fireproof accommodations
and sufficient funds will be raised to
build, equip and endow a modern hos-
pital in the near future.
Waxahachie's modern hotel, the Rog-
ers, is a source of pride to all citizens and
under able management has taken its
place among the best hotels in the State.

Jacamtaf) teaman Jiaugljertp
DECEASED, FORMERLY OF HOUSTON.
Jacamiah Seaman Daugherty was
born in Sullivan County, Mo., August
25th, 1849, the oldest of a family of
five children. His mother and he held
fort at home during the four years his
father gave to the lost cause as Cap-
tain in General Price's Army.
He attended the Public Schools of
his community and entered the Ken-
tucky University in 1S69, from which
Institution he later received a Diploma.
He came to Dallas County in the fall
of 1872. and taught school until July,
1S73.
On September 15th, 1873. he opened
a land office in Dallas, Texas, and en-
gaged in the land business.
Individually, and as a member of the
firm of Daugherty, Connellee and Am-
merman, he located several million ac-
res of land.
They put down the first water well
ever dug on the staked plains of Texas.
In 1876 they caused the County Seat
of Eastland County to be removed from
Merriman to Eastland and laid out the
present thriving oil town of that name.
J. S. Daugherty was the father of the
Business League idea in the United States. Served as Chairman of the first League
in Dallas, Texas, from 1882 to 1888, giving his time and paying his part of the
expense of the Committee. This Committee laid the foundation upon which Dal-
las has grown. He organized, in 1882, the first Real Estate Association ever
formed in Texas and was elected its Chairman. As Chairman of that Association
he brought on the fight that caused the cattlemen of Texas to have to pay into
the Public School Fund of the State $250,000.00 to $500,000.00 per annum, as
rents for school lands they had previously grazed their cattle on for nothing.
In 1898 he organized the Texas Bureau of Immigration, composed of a repre-
sentative from each Senatorial District. He was elected Chairman of the Bureau
and brought on the fight that resulted in the formation of Texas Railroad Com-
mission.
In 1893 the Trans-ilississippi Commercial Congress, by unanimous vote, asked
him to prepare an address to the people of the United States on the Silver ques-
tion, which he did, and they elected him orator of Silver Day, at the Chicago
World's Pair. When Richard P. Bland made his argument in 1893, in behalf of
the free coinage of silver, he asked and received unanimous consent of Congress
to have Mr. Daugherty's address printed in the Congressional Record, as part of his
argument on the question.
At the Trans-Mississippi Congress he offered a resolution in the Good Roads Corn-
to provide a fund to protect their depositors against loss and was the first pub-
lic advocate of that idea.
Between the years 1890 and 1895 he represented Texas in the Good Roads Com-
mittee of the United States, printing and distributing large quantities of Good
Roads literature and holding Good Roads meetings all over the State.
In 1909 he was Chairman of the Harris County Drainage Association and took
an active part in the creation of the first Drainage District in Harris County.
In 1910 he drafted resolutions, presented and secured their adoption by the
Texas Industrial Congress, memorializing the United States Congress to locate a
Naval Station, Navy Yard, Dry Docks, Arsenal and Ordnance Factory in Texas, the
sight to be selected by a Naval Board.
He took an initiative part in securing the construction of a deep water harbor
at Galveston, Texas.
During his fifty years of residence in the State, there has been no question agi-
tated, pertaining to its general welfare, that did not receive his intelligent co-operation.
On the 27th of September, 1919, Jacamiah Seaman Daugherty was instantly killed
while crossing the public thoroughfare at Fulton, Kentucky, by an Illinois Central
passenger train. His tragic death is sincerely mourned by all who knew of his
genuine worth to the great State of his adoption.
He leaves a widow. Margaret Cartmell Daugherty and three living children,
Bryan Daugherty of New York City, Mrs. John T. Judd and Mrs. F. Fenwick Ken-
dall of Houston, Texas.

The Texas State Dental Society
"Written Kspeeially lor the Standard Hint- Book
BY C. E. STEPHENS, D. M. D., PRESIDENT.
THE Texas State Dental Society was organ-
* ized in the city of Galveston in 1SSO. with
six members. The fortieth anniversary will be
celebrated soon, with a membership of more
than six hundred. The object of the Associa-
tion has always been to cultivate the science
and art in dentistry, to elevate the professional
character of the members and to promote among
them the spirit of good-fellowship.
Growing out of the State Society there have
been many Local Societies organized in the dif-
ferent cities in the State, which work in con-
junction with the State Society. These Local
Societies for the last few years have done won.
derful work in an educational way, in working
through the public schools and Mothers' Con-
gress, educating the children along the line of
propholaxis and mouth hygiene.
The Texas State Dental Society is now work-
ing in conjunction with the State Health Board,
public nurses and Red Cross Nurses, in local!
ties and rural districts where the public are
lacking in education on the care of the mouth.
During the war. organizations of the members
of the State Society were formed in every
County and District where men were being en-
listed in the service, both Army and Marine.
Dental services were given to the men who en-
listed, free of charge, their mouths being put
into a healthy condition and their teeth re-
stored so that they would be more efficient
for mastication.
Over sixty of our men saw service in the
army. Many of them served overseas with
the American Expeditionary Forces. Our quota
was always filled and a long waiting list of
Dentists anxious to take their places when
called.
After a member has been in good standing
in the Society for twenty-five years, he is then
elected to membership in "The Order of Good-
fellows," which is a distinction much coveted
by all of our members.
There is a great awakening in the profession
in the line of propholaxis and oral hygienes,
realizing more that clean teeth and a healthy
mouth are essential to good health.
The State Society this year branches out in
a new field along the scientific side. We are
bringing six of the best men in the United
States in their respective branches, men who
are expert in their line or work, coming from
Colleges and Universities, giving an entire week
to Post.Graduate work, thereby giving our
members the advantage of taking this work
at home instead of having to go to other cities
to obtain the same work. This year one hun-
dred and thirteen of our men attended the
annual convention of the National Dental As-
sociation, the largest delegation of any State
in the Union, except the State in which the
convention was held.
Our Society this last year, through its mem-
bers and friends of the profession, succeeded
in getting laws passed which will effectively
protect the public from the incompetent men
who have heretofore found a fertile field in this
State for their poor services rendered.
We are hoping that the influence of our So-
ciety will at some time in the near future, suc-
ceed in establishing a Dental Department in our
University. The following is a list of the Pres-
idents of the Texas State Dental Society:

TEXAS' PART IN THE WORLD WAR
BY CHARLES W. SCRUGGS
State Adjutant, the American Legion
A MERE glimpse into the inside history of
the Empire State of the Union will show a
citizenship nurtured in the strongest bonds of
patriotism and loyalty. Successively acknowl-
edging the supremacy of six flags and wresting
her independence from each of the first five,
then to go by her own free will under the
Stars and Stripes, is a heritage approached by
no other state and forms a noble history of
which Texas is justly proud.
It was this citizenship, nurtured in the cradle
of Texas Liberty, Loyalty and Patriotism, that
made an immediate response to the greatest
call of all — the world conflict of 1917-1918.
Standing fifth in point of population, she also
stood fifth in the total number of men sent
into the service; thus living up to her exact
record. In actual figures we furnished 175,-
344 mn for the Army, 22,522 for the Navy and
Marine Corps, and 362 in the United States
Coast Guards, a total of 198,228, or 4.16 per
cent of the whole.*
*The figures on the air service are not yet
available, but our state sent many men into
this enticing but dangerous branch, and Texas
was awarded five aviation training camps —
containing about three-fourths of all the air
service of the Nation.
Texas' response to the call for volunteers
was immediate and spontaneous, and after the
Selective Service Act went into effect 75 out
of every 100 men examined were acceptd for
service. A record unsurpassed and equalled
only by eleven other states. Not counting the
thousands of Texas men in other organizations
and on special service, Texas wholly furnished
two main divisions, trained, equipped and
sent overseas.
The 36th Division, composed of Texas Na-
tional Guardsmen, was drafted into Federal
service August 5th, 1917, after having been
recruited to war strength by its own efforts.
This division was trained at Camp Bowie, Tex.,
under the command of Major General E. St.
John Greble. General Greble, however, was
relieved of the command on the eve of the
departure for France, being succeeded by Major
General Smith. The bulk of this division
reached France in July, 1918, and reached
the front about October 1st, receiving its first
shell fire at St. Mihiel, October 6-7. It re-
mained a combat division to the end of the
war. They captured 549 prisoners. The total
casualties of this division amounted to 2,528.
The artillery of this division was returned
to the United States in March, 1919, the re-
mainder of the division following in May.
The 90th Division was organized at Camp
Travis during the months of September and
October. 1917, from National Army troops un-
der the command of Major General Henry T.
Allen. This division reached France in June,
1918, and went into action during September
of the same year, remaining a combat division
for the remainder of the war. This division
captured 1,875 prisoners. Total casualties
amounted to 7,277. The 90th Division returned
to the United States in June, 1919.
Outside of these two divisions, thousands of
Texans were in other organizations and did
their duty as only real men can know or under-
stand. Speaking of Texas troops, the com-
manding general of the American Expeditionary
Forces referred to them as men "who did what
was to be expected when we remember the his-
tory of their state, nurtured, as they are, in
the cradle of loyalty and patriotism. I con-
sider that the work of the 90th Division was
not surpassed and the 36th was a very good
second to it." Approximately 3,000 loyal
Texans paid the supreme sacrifice in France
in order that freedom and justice might not
die.
And after two years the war was over and
the boys came home. They found that the
reconstruction area had problems far more
reaching than the problems of warfare. There
are battles of peace as of war. Instinctively
the men who were organized into the greatest
fighting organization of our National history
turned into an organization of their own,
wherein they might work together toward the
forwarding of the same principles of decent
government for which they went to war in
1917.
For these reasons, therefore, the American
Legion had its birth. Its work in the promot-
ing of 100 per cent Americanism and kindred
subjects speaks for itself.
The future of the American Legion will be
what its membership shall make it, and re-
membering of what material this membership
is composed, we may say that the future is
very bright. On the experience of the past
shall we build our plans for a larger and
better America always.

To Our Heroes and
Heroines
Here's to the state of a single star
That sends its gleaming message afar,
To tell of strength and a courage rare,
Of skies that are blue and a land that is fair
Of heroes who lived for the common weal,
Of heroes who died that we might feel
Ourselves secure in our broad domain
Won by a faith that was not in vain.
Then here's to our state of the many flags
Whose hope for the future never lags,
Whose allegiance grows ever more loyal and
true
To her flag of the present — our red, white
and blue.

This page was patriotically given by a friend, Sidney A. Long, in memory of
Corporal Thos. W. Wood — Gone West.
IT was a sad message indeed that brought the
the news to loved ones and freds that Tom
Wood had made the "supreme sacrifice" on
November 5th, just six days before the armis-
tice was signed.
The noble, self-sacrificing motherhood of
America is now realizing, as never before, the
heart sorrow and the tragedy of war, as the
names of the "dead on the field of honor," are
reported daily. Who can fathom the depths of
the heartaches and the soul throbs that are
borne upward on the wings of prayer, implor-
ing Divine st»ength and comfort in this dark
hour of their sore trial? But this, we are
told, is war, and now the dreaded day of tribu-
lation for many loved ones is at hand.
Among the more than fifty thousand soldier
boys who, in the strength of their young man-
hood, left their beautiful homeland for the
bloody battlefields, nevermore in mortal flesh
to return, was our young friend, Thomas W.
Wood, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wood, of
809 Pierce avenue, Houston.
Tom was just twenty-five years of age, a
graduate of the Houston High School, and was
identified with this church and Sunday School,
having joined the old Shearn Church a num-
ber of years ago, when it was located on Texas
Avenue.
He was a volunteer in the service, and in one
of his letters home, he stated he was glad to
learn that al lof his relatives in this war were
volunteers also.
In France he was with the 357th Ambulance
Company, 90th Division, which work, obviously,
was a very dangerous, although a most import-
ant branch of the active service. In writing of
the hazardous nature of his duties, he remarked
concerning the part that fear plays while un-
der fire on the battlefield: "We find oursel-
ves in some mean places sometimes, and I have
learned that only a fool doesn't know fear;
however, if a man has a high and right regard
for duty, fear doesn't bother but just enough
to make him careful."
In another letter we get a further insight in-
to his nature, when he says "I find that the
one thing that gives me most worry and con-
cern is, driving under shrapnel, sometimes
through gas, pitch dark, and over muddy, shell-
torn roads, with patients in the ambulance.
* * * Running into mustard gas with four
to eight helpless patients in the ambulance, you
have 10 put on your mask, put masks on all
the patients, and then drive out of this hell."
Safe at home by the side of our comfortable
firesides, we can scarcely imagine the heroic
grit and character necessary to carry out an
operation of this nature.
To those who knew him. it hardly seems pos-
sible that a young man of Tom's build, gentle
and sympathetic disposition should have been
assigned to the particular line of duty in which
he was engaged. But doubtless his official su-
perior knew him best, and so, where the bul-
lets from the machine guns were raking the
field, shells on the land and in the air were
bursting, and deadly, hell-born gases were
hurled in waves and clouds across the shell-
torn field, with that high conception of duty
overcoming fear, referred to by him, there is
where we find they placed him, only to die the
death of the young hero that he was.
He realized that he was an American, and
could not honorably do otherwise. The incom-
parable heroes of the Alamo could have done no
more. What a beautiful, high and noble mem-
ory, therefore, sealed with the crimson flow
of his very life's blood, he has bequeathed to
a loving father and mother, brother and sisters!

father, Mr. C. E. Thompson, is a prominent stockman
and farmer. His mother was formerly Miss Alvia Alice
Cox, daughter of Col. R. L. Cox. deceased. Lieut.
Thompson met his death on the battlefield. Sept. 13,
1918. in the famous St. Mihiel drive in France. Just
before his death, in writing to his devoted mother, he
used this expression : ' 'Your prayers are sweet and
beautiful; they help me do my duty well and aid me in
doing the things I should do.1 ' He also lauded his
mother for accepting the war and his portion, in which
he played such a conspicuous part, as a necessity, and
for her patriotic and unselfish attitude shown in behalf
of her country. He also made expressions as to his
father and brother, showing his most tender and loving
devotion to them. His name was recently honored by
the American Legion naming the Bell County Post in
memory of Lieut. Thompson. This unit is composed of
World War veterans, Spanish- American, Confederate and
other veterans who have taken part in conflicts for their
country's honor. As a soldier, he died as he had lived:
without fear, doing his duty faithfully and heroically.
The following resolutions, adopted unanimously by the
House of Representatives of Texas, are self-explanatory,
namely :
'In memory of Lieut. R. E. Thompson: Whereas, Lieut.
R. E. Thompson, an honored member of the bar, a native-
born son of Texas, a graduate of the Texas State Uni-
versity, an efficient prosecuting attorney, resigned his
office, abandoned his chosen profession and enlisted in
his country's cause ; and
'Whereas, Lieut. R.' E. Thompson, famed for his courage,
noted for his skill in handling a machine gun, fell on
September 13th behind the German line in the famous
St. Mihiel drive; and
'Whereas, While his plane was burning he climbed out
on the fusellage and spent the last moments fighting;
therefore, be it
'Resolved, That the House of Representatives unanimous-
ly adopt this resolution in memory of R. E. Thompson
for his valiant service, his courage, fidelity and the un-
selfish life he gave for his country, and that we com-
memorate the memory of Lieut. R. E. Thompson and
share with his noble parents, who gave him to his coun-
try, the loss of a noble, brave and courageous son."

A Memorial to
American
Heroes
by
ENRICO CERRACCHIO
SCULPTER, HOUSTON
This artistic masterpiece is
the materialization of a dream
that four years of war and
many years of applied talent
brought to life in Houston.
In this original memorial
conception by Mr. Cerracchio
there is poetry, and music, the
grace and unconfined joy, the
dignity of just victory, hap-
piness, strength, purpose, bal-
ance, poise - - one glorious
combine — a piece of frozen music.
The base is of Texas granite, with
four walks of red granite leading
away from it so as to form a huge
Red Cross, the statute rising from its
center. On the pedestals are the
figures of Pershing, Haig, Foch and
Diaz, sentinels of humanity; sur-
mounting the central pedestal four
figures of womanhood, with out-
stretched arms supporting a globe —
the redeemed world — and topping
the globe a lone, winged figure — the
angel of eternal peace, one knee
bended and in her hands the pieces
of a broken sword.
Friezes depict the four greatest
battles of the world war, and above,
bronze tablets bear the names of
Texas heroes who gave their lives in
the World War for liberty and
humanity.

OSTEOPATHY
BY THE TEXAS OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION
mi. -n I -!"•
!!• f«r the stanilaril I'.IM. Bo
£)R. ANDREW TAYLOR STILL, t h e
founder of Osteopathy, conceived the
idea that there must be some successful
way of treating diseased conditions with-
out drugs, and for seven or eight years
he applied himself as a student of the
human machine and as a student of the
human body.
A thorough study of the body develop-
ed the important fact that the human
body is a machine, and that within this
machine, all parts being normal, it can
carry on its activities without outside as-
sistance with the exception of the raw
material required.
Early in the '90s he started to practice
and was scoffed at by the old-line prac-
titioners, but his success was so marvel-
ous and so many cures were effected
where people had become hopeless, that
it was only a short time before he had
firmly established Osteopathy and had
shown the good results that it could
produce. The growth of Osteopathy in
the United States has been a marvel.
We now have practicing in the United
States something like 10,000 practition-
ers. These men and women are required
to be equally as well educated — if not
more thoroughly— than the old-line prac-
titioner. Their education consists of a
course of study requiring four years and
nine months each, in all of the funda-
mental branches of the Healing Art. We
are recognized by the law of every State
and Territory in the United States, and
our requirements are equal to those of
the old school. The Science has built
such a solid foundation and is so strong
that there is no word of condemnation
against it now by the thinking man or
woman of today.
This scientific treatment of disease has
achieved such wonderful development in
thirty years' time as no other brand; of
any cult has ever gained. The develop-
ment has been along scientific lines. To-
day there is existing in the United States
ten of as fine colleges as there are in any
system of teaching. Hospitals are being
built and maintained by the Osteopaths.
A General Research Institute is maintain-
ed bv general subscriptions from the Os-
teopaths of the United States to carry on
scientific work and scientific preparation
to more thoroughly develop Osteopathy.
During the epidemic of flue that cov-
ered the world in 1918 and 1919 the Os-
teopathic per centage of deaths from flu
was only .47 of 1 per cent, which shows
that Osteopathy is capable of taking care
of all acute as well as chronic condi-
tions.
In the development of Osteopathy we
have proven that diseased conditions are
caused more often by some maladjusi-
ment of boning, muscular or ligamentus
or nerve conditions, thereby reducing the
vitality and resisting power of the tis-
sues— a normal flow of blood to all parts
meaning health. Under these conditions
Osteopathy has grown to be a wonder-
ful power in the United States and for-
eign countries.

MUSICAL TEXAS
BY CLYDE WHITLOCK.
President, Texas Music Teachers' Association
THE idea recently prevailed in some portions
of the country that Texas is an untamed
region where all the male population wears the
regulation cowboy outfit (which is regulation
only in the movies) and where the Indians still
indulge in occasional outbreaks and where bears
may be seen wandering down Main Street. An
inevitable corollary of this impression was that
Texas was necessarily quite undeveloped musi-
cally. However, we may reasonably lay claim
to being in a favorably advanced state musi-
cally and in support of our claims we enumer-
ate a few of our musical resources.
There are within the state a large number of
schools and colleges which maintain large music
departments administered by teachers of the
broadest experience and musicianship, many of
whom are of national repute. The University of
Texas has a Department of Music whose work is
counted toward the academic degree in the uni-
versity. The College of Indutsiral Arts, at Den-
ton, a state school, has one of the largest fine
arts departments in the country.
The State Department of Education is showing
an active interest in music in the public schools
of the state. Only recently a committee was ap-
pointed by the State Superintendent of PubHc
Instruction, Miss Annie Webb Blanton, to revise
all the present public school music courses and
to provide a number of new ones for use in the
high schools. The State Committee on Affilia-
tion has officially ruled that music is a suitable
subject for high school credit on the same basis
as any other subject. Texas has a State Super-
visor of Music.
One of the sure signs of the progressiveness
of the music teaching profession of a state, and
indirectly of the entire musical activity of the
state, is the presence of a State Music Teachers'
Association. The Texas Music Teachers' Asso-
ciation, ranking perhaps fifth in the country in
membership, has accomplished much in unify-
ing the interests of the profession and in estab-
lishing the educational value of music study. It
was through the efforts of the association that
the State Department of Education has been in-
terested in taking up seriously the status of mu-
sic in the schools. The association has also ob-
tained from the Association of Texas Colleges a
statement of policy looking toward the recog-
nition of high school music credits for college
entrance.
The Texas Federation of Music Clubs, affil-
iated with the National Federation of Music
Clubs, is an influential organization represent-
ing some seventy of the most active music clubs
of the state. Many of the leading teachers of
the state have given scholarships to the federa-
tion, which are awarded to deserving students.
The Scholarship Committee has each year been
able to secure scholarships from well-known
teachers and schools in the national musical
centers, which are awarded in open competition.
One of the unmistakable evidences of an
aroused public interest in music is the success-
ful operation of a symphony orchestra. There
are at least four orchestras of symphonic pro-
portions in the state — the San Antonio Fym-
phony Orchestra, conducted by Julien Paul
Blitz; the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Walter
.1. Fried, conductor; the University Symphony
Orchestra, of Austin. Prof. Frank L. Reed, con-
ductor; and the Waco Symphony Orchestra,
Severin Frank, conductor.
The largest cities of the state have concert
seasons that would have done credit to cities
thrice their size a few years ago. In addition
to individual artists some of the most important
symphonic and operatic organizations have an-
nual appearances in Texas. The Chicago Opera
Association has for some years appeared in Fort
Worth and Houston in the course of its pre-
season tour of only nine cities, Fort Worth be-
ing probably the only city which has been in-
cluded in every tour. It may be mentioned that
Fort Worth and Houston heard Gali-Curci in
opera before Xew York had that opportunity.
One of the musical resources of the state is
the only periodical published in the Southwest
devoted exclusively to the interests of music.
This is "The Musicale," published monthly in
Dallas. This journal is the official organ of the
Texas Music Teachers' Association, the Texas
Federation of Music Clubs, the Texas Chapter
of the American Guild of Organists, and the
Texas Music Merchants' Association.
During the fall of 1919 Dallas celebrated
"Music Day," which proved to be one of the
most potent agencies for publicity for music that
has been devised. On that day all the musical
interests of the city united for the exploitation
of its musical resources by means of concerts,
receptions, and demonstrations. New York
later had a Music Week, and whether or not it
was suggested by the Texas event, at least the
chronological sequence gives us the right to
assert that such was its inception.
These conditions indicate progressive devel-
opments and assure the accomplishment of sub-
stantial results.

Brack en ridge, George W.. San Antonio. Home address.
Washington Heights. Native of Indiana. Organized the
San Antonio National Bank, July 5th, 1866, and served
continuously as its president for more than forty-eight
years, when he retired from active service. His gifts
have been numerous, especially to education and much
of his time has been devoted to opening up wider oppor-
tunities for broader education in the State University
and public schools. One of the last tributes in appre-
ciation for his services to education was shown when
San Antonio's newest and finest high school was made
his namesake. For more than twenty- five years he
served continuously as a member of the Board of Re-
gents of the University of Texas. During this time he
was the only Republican member of the Board of Regents
and all his appointments to this body were conferred by
Democratic Governors. San Antonio will remember Mr.
Bracken ridge for two things in particular: one being
tin- gift to the city of what has been called the South's
most beautiful playground, ' 'Brackenridge Park." But
more important than this is San Antonio's water supply,
pronounced by physicians as being unexcelled any place
in the United States. This was the result of Mr. Brack-
enidge's efforts while at the head of the San Antonio
Waterworks to give San Antonio the very best that na-
ture could provide. He not only gave the city its first
flowing wells while he was president of the San Antonio
Waterworks but added numerous others even after he
severed his connection with this company. In this way
he has materially assisted farm and ranch by keeping
creeks flowing while others were dry. He is a 32d
degree Mason. Favorite recreations are hunting, yacht-
ing, traveling and scientific research. Ancestry, Scotch-
Irish.

In Advertising
Clientele Counts Most
Into the homes of practically every business man,
stockman, farmer and other citizens who possess pur-
chasing power in a territory where advertising brings
results, go the —
San Antonio Express
San Antonio Evening News
Semi-Weekly Farm Express
These three newspapers, all the product of the Express
Publishing Company of San Antonio, cover a field for the
national advertiser that has no counterpart in market
productiveness in the United States.
It is a territory larger than several average states ; it
extends from Central Texas far into the Republic of Mex-
ico, north and south, and having a width of more than
600 miles.
In this vast region is a thriving, prosperous, go-ahead
people who look to the columns of these newspapers for
guidance in their purchases.
Now is the opportune time for the national
advertiser to reap a golden harvest by meet-
ing the wants of these people upon whom the
sun of unprecedented prosperity is shining.
Remember, San Antonio is the largest city in Texas;
the military capital of the Southwest; the metropolis of
a great trade territory. Your advertising list will not be
complete unless you include the
San Antonio Express, the San
Antonio Evening News and the
Semi-Weekly Farm Express.

SERVICE HOSPITAL
ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS
The Service Hospital Association is in successful oper-
ation in this City ; and while it may appear to be some-
thing new in Health and Accident Insurance, many sim-
ilar Organizations have been founded in other States in
the Union, and without exception, are popular and
prosperous.
Members pay an annual fee of $12.00 in advance or
an entrance fee of $3.00 and $1.00 per month. Thus a
member saves $3.00 by paying in advance, for the year.
Wives of members are admitted on payment of seventy-
five cents per month.
"". i
The Association, for this modest sum, provides for a
member, in case of illness or accident, free medical and
surgical attention, including medicines, surgical dress-
ings, nurses, hospital, with private room and board while
in the hospital, ambulance service and electrical treat-
ments, in fact — covering all expense incurred during an
illness or accident.
We are equipped with a complete X-ray plant.

THE DAISY DETACHABLE FISH TAIL BIT
The common Fish Tail Bit in use today is
from three-fourths to one inch thick and from
10 to 14 inches long. The tips get dull and
wear off in a very short time and have to be
sharpened and often the steel is crystalized,
hence it breaks off like glass when they are put
into a hole, therefore they cause a lot of trouble
and many wells are ruined by the use of the
bit., as there are very few men who know how
to temper the steel of a bit. The most expen-
sive part of file bit, which is the shank, is
thrown away.
The Fish Tail Bit is the most important part
used in drilling a well. The whole rig and
and the men depend on the ordinary Fish Tail
Bit, which is really a failure, as it gets dull in
a very short time and has to be pulled out and
sharpened and put back into the hole, which is
the most expensive part of drilling. A lot of
time is so wasted.
The ordinary Fish Tail Bit will crystalize your
pipe and practically ruin it so it is impossible to
use for more than five or ten wells, but with the
DAISY FISH TAIL BIT you can drill two or
three times as many wells with the same pipe,
which is a tremendous big saving.
THE DAISY FISH TAIL BIT will paralyze
the cost of drilling, as the tips are made of tool
steel, the finest steel known, and as they wear
off they are kept sharpened all the time. The
tips of the DAISY FISH TAIL BIT are two and
one-half inches thick, while the ordinary Fish
Tail Bit is about one-half inch thick. With the
DAISY FISH TAIL BIT you will not have to
pull out of the hole but one time to your twen-
ty if using the old Fish Tail Bit.
Five Patents Pending
\Ve have a tremendous pressure of water right on the tip of the DAISY FISH TAIL
BIT that keeps it tempered and pulverizes the dirt before it has a chance to stick to the tip.
There is not a chance for the gumbo or any other formation to stick to the bit, which cause
all the trouble of drilling a well.
Hydraulic Well Cleaner and Packer \Vliicli Has Almost Human Possibilities.
A screen or perforated pipe which is used in practically every oil field and which
is to protect and hold back the sand from coming in and choking the well. As this
oil comes along it always brings more sand with it, until finally the well is choked. With
this marvelous and almost human cleaner, we go down on the inside of the well with steel
brushes and scrape the walls of the screen or perforated pipe on the inside thoroughly and
all paraffin or other substance that has stopped the well on the inside will naturally fall
down to the bottom, as it is impossible for it to go elsewhere.
At the bottom of the cleaner there is a valve that the minute it hits anything it imme-
diately releases the tremendous pressure of water and cleans out everything from the inside.
To clean strainer or perforated pipe on the outside, we have two expanding collars, 24
inches apart, which expand and shut off the pressure of water or oil above and below the
perforated pipe, making it the only opening in the whole string of pipe that water or oil
can come through, and open every pore of the strainer or perforated pipe and drive away
all sand or any other substance that has stopped the well. This creates a big cavity and
opens every pore of the strata, hence, greatly increasing the flow of oil.
When this part is cleaned we then release the expanding collars and drop them down,
about 24 inches at a time, until strainer is cleaned from top to bottom.

join the mothers and fathers of Texas in
inscribing on the shaft of immortality this
thought to the memory of their sons:
There is no mystery about what we call
Death. Physical death is only the laying-
down of one life to take up a new life. To
die bravely, in battle for one's country, is
to begin nobly the life eternal.
