J. C. Dykes, "Dime Novel Texas; or, The Sub-Literature of
the Lone Star State," is Assistant Chief, Soil Conservation Serv-
ice, with the United States Department of Agriculture in Wash-
ington, D. C. He makes his home now in College Park, Mary-
land, but has ample justification for his claim of still being a
Texan; he was born and received his public school education in
Dallas after which he went to Texas A. & M., where he took
the B.S. degree in agriculture. His continuing interest in Texas
is well demonstrated by his contribution here. Dykes's particu-
lar field of interest is Rangers-Texas Rangers especially, but
also the other organizations known by that name. It is said
that he has the largest collection of Rangerana in existence.

been a resident of Laredo for many years and will be remem-

During the Texas Republic" (XLII, 83-107) and "The Laredo
City Election and Riot of 1886" (XLV, 1-23) as well as various
other articles in Frontier Times and Naylor's Epic-Century.
Paul Adams, "Amelia Barr in Texas, 1856-1868," began his

and appraiser. He is an eager collector of Texana. He has
recently become the president of the San Antonio Board of
Education.
