A carefree group of winter vacationists loll on the coral sands of a palm-studded cay, off Nassau, the
Bahamas, a favorite spot for an afternoon picnic. Well within neutral waters the Bahamas are only fifty
miles off the Florida coast. The routes of the American flag liner Kent, of the Merchants and Miners Trans-
portation Company, from Miami to Nassau, and of the S S Munargo, direct from New York to Nassau, are
within the neutral zone established at the Conference of Panama. At Nassau, or on one of the nearby cays, trav-
elers to the Bahamas this winter can enjoy unmolested the gay life of this Caribbean resort.

North Texas. Only a state as
large and diversified and al-
together grand as Texas can do
things like that. Texas can, and
does. Now we would like to
know if the Sealy News editor
gobbled up the strawberries
left on display, or did he take
them home and make a straw-
berry shortcake ?—State Press
in Dallas Morning News.
Yes, siree, the News editor
feasted his eyes on those de-
licious strawberries to his
heart’s content, then took them
home and converted them into
a strawberry shortcake, and
the memory lingers both as to
the picture of the berries and
the luscious taste that will not
be forgotten. You are right,
Dallas News, strawberries are
the “berries.” They are the
most delicious of all berries,
and who wouldn’t be tempted
by a bowl of large, round,
plump, red strawberries, all
wrapped up in pure south Tex-
as cream and topped with an
abundance of sugar made right
here in South Texas.
Berries, cream and sugar all
home products and plenty of
home consumption as long as
editors are alive.
How far removed, we wonder
is State Press from the days
of Mother Goose rhymes.
Brother, wasn’t that curds and
whey that little Miss Muffet
ate as she sat on a tuffet?

To Go To Austin To
Attend Celebration
Dam Completion
• Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Brown
and Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Tom-
linson, of Wallis, plan to go to
Austin Saturday to attend the
celebration of the completion of
the dam across the Colorado
River. C. R. Pennington, chair-
man of the board of directors
of the lower Colorado River Au-
thority is a nephew of theirs
and made a trip to Wallis to
insist on their presence at the
celebration.
One hundred years ago the
men who chose the site of Aus-
tin, and caused to be built the
seat of a great empire, record-
ed that the Colorado River re-
gion afforded “the greatest and
most convenient water power
in the Republic.” Thus did Aus-
tin’s founding fathers dream of
a great dam across the Colo-
rado to conserve its abundant
waters, as well as its forces,.
for the people of Texas.
The vision of these patriots
is a reality today because the
government of the United
States in President Roosevelt’s
administration, through the
state agency, the Lower Colo-
rado River Authority, put hands
to the wheels of progress and
set in motion the latent forces
which created flood control,
water storage and electric
power.
The people of Austin and
central Texas will officially ob-
serve completion of the dam
across the Colorado River at
Austin in a celebration Satur-
day.

Interested in
Sealy Strawberries
• Sealy News: A sample of
luscious, juicy strawberries
grown by Otto Kurtz display-
ed at the News office this week,
-A has attracted much attention.
Mr. Kurtz, who lives about two
and one-half miles north of
Sealy, has a splendid patch of
these spring delicacies. This is
the first exhibit of this kind
this spring, and Mr. Kurtz will
have to provide a few pointers
to Dr. F. W. Hover and George
Merkel, who usually stage a
marthon about this time of the
year for the first fruit from
this vine.
Did Mr. Kurtz leave his
strawberries “on dislpay” at
your office or did he leave them
subject to your own appetite
for such delicacies? The straw-
Lud- berry is the most luscious of
all the berries but, very unfor-
tunately, they give some peo-
ple the itch. That is to say the
strawberry sometimes induces
an inflammation of the epider-
mis. We have it from Mother
Goose, one of the wisest au-
thors of her time, that straw-
berries, sugar and cream com-
bine into a luxury worthy of
the idle rich, like Little Miss
Muffet who sat on a tuffet. Miss
Muffet was undoubtedly a
I daughter of wealth, one of the
h. privileged classes. Otherwise
she could not have sat on a
V tuffet and regaled herself with
strawberries, sugar and cream.
■ Perhaps strawberries are
cheaper in South Texas than in
other parts of the country. Al-
so more sugar and cream may
be available at Sealy than else-
l where. But one thing is sure,
A, ’ one thing admits of no ques-
tion. That thing is that Texas
1 ripens strawberries in one part
