Texas and Texans
-ALL TEXANS FOR ALL TEXAS"
By WiU H. Mayes
IWr Teiaa Firat
Texans spend every summer near-
ly a million dollars chasing pleasui"
and comfort iu distant sections, v.-hen
both could be had close at home at
• small fraction of what their trav-
•4 tours cost them. Texas has close
at hand everything the most exact-
ing tourist can hope to find, how-
ever far he may go. Seacoast and
bathing'.' Nearly 1,000 miles from
Port Arthur tG Point Isabel. Fish-
ing? The Gulf of Mexico, placid lakes
mountainous streams, shaded river
banks. Hunting? Everything the
law allows in season. Camping''
Tooting by seashore, in quiet wood-
lands, by purring streams, at the
fcset of majesflic mountain^. Rest-
ing? In tented homes, at modern
tourist camps, in comfort giving ho-
tels. Traveling? Along well-built
highways with panoramic views, In
<de luxe motor busses, in palatial
Pullman coaches. Scenery? Limit-
less seas, boundless vistas, of well-
kept farmlands, abundant prosperity
in villages ami cities, flower-covered
roadsides, violet crowned hills, multi-
colored mountains. Climate? Health
giving sunshine, restful gulf breezes
balmy, sleep -inviting, invigorating,
energy-restoring nights. What more
could be asked. What more export-
ed? 'Tour Texas first."
Lack of comfortable accomodations
in the way ol' hotels and tourists
camps has heretofore kept many
Texans from touring their own State
and has retarded tourists travel irom
out of Texas. Improvements in
these particulars has been most noti-
ceable in the past five yean The
roads in most sections are now iu
good shape for all-weather travel,
and a tour of interesting ;.'.ues in
Texas can be made in us gieut com-
fort as one can travel anywhere. En-
tertainment is offered in such wide
variety that travel -a'l be made eith-
er economical or expensive to suit
the purse of all travelers, but even
the least expensive trips can be made
in comfort, something which cannot
be said of touring in many other
parts of the country and in foreign
countries., Tourists will now find that
Texas is ready t0 take good care of
them at a minimum of cost for any
kind "of entertainment that mey be
desired.
Ready For Tourists
Festival Of Arts
Mineral Wells will hold a "Festi-
val of Arts" in the near future, if
plans under consideration mature.
In addition to Texas and American
talent, groups of artists and enter-
tainers are expected from Central
and South American countries. A
yearly festival devoted to arts, in
connection with cultural entertain-

ments, is exvected t0 result from the
somewhat ambitious program being
formulated. Texas has reached the
point in material development where
it can afford to give greater atten-
tion to the cultural arts, and some
place in tlu. State has a splendid op-
portunity to make itself recognized
a> the seat of this cultural develop-
ment. Mineral Wells is to be con-
gratulated for taking the initiative in
a movement that can be made to
mean so much for the entire State.

much attention been given to

constructive recreation plan can
make itself noted as a health and
recreation center. The basic re-
quirements are an ample stadium and

Hock Springs Goats
Not many years ago a Texan would
have been a bit ashamed to admit
that his business was goat raising,
but goats have now become the aris-
tocrats of Texas ranches and farms.
Kock Springs proclaims to the world
that its goat show this year, July 15-
17., "will surpass any goat show ever
held in the United States, or in the
world" That is covering a large ter-
ritory, but the Kock Springs folk
say they are prepared to prove it.
The most prominent goat families
of the country will be represented.
llarlinKen Hotel Grow*
When Harlengen built its big five
story hotel awhile back some croak-
ers said it would never be filled with
guests. Now, the owner is getting
plans for a 15 story annex. It is
a rare thing that a progressive town
has too many hotels. Good hotels are
thick in the Rio Grande Valley.
Peanuts Plentiful
A peanut factory at Dublin is em
ploying 110 men, while Stephenvill'
a few miles away in the same coun-j
ty, ships annually about GO cars of
peanuts to other markets. The 'pea-
nut farmer" was once regarded :is ■
a worthless sort of fellow, but in
Texas if he knows his peanuts, he is'
piling up a sizeable bank account to J
add to hi prosperity and that of th* i
State.

Kail Tomatoes
It is just the Texas way. Right
now when the spring tomatQ crop
is beintf marketed, it is announced
that at least 200 acres of fall to-
matoes will soon be planted at Dil-
ley to be grown under irrigation. A
little later, the Valley will be con-
sidering its winter tomato crop.

Moving Mountains
Near Knippa, a stone company re-
cently set off a 1,200 pound dyna
mite blast, the result being the mov-
ing of M.000 tons of rock. This is
enough to keep a rock crusher busy

Long view didn't make any great
showing in the census returns, hut
it has :$2 manufacturing plants em-
ploying 7:>H persons and having ag-
gregate payrolls of $1,570,000 an-
nually. It is not "how many people"]
that counts toward town success, but
how many of the people are prosper-
ing. Measured by that standard some
of thr smaller cities are showing the
greatest progress.
Slaton's Ambitions
Slaton had 1,525 inhabitants in
1020, in I'J.'IO, an increase of
15H per cent. As soon as this was
announced, the chamber of commerce
held a meeting ami resohed to have
10,000 people by HMO, which would
he about the same ratio of increase.
It can b< done, but the Slaton citi-
zenry is going to have to keep busy
