TO LIVE LONG, EAT L1TTIE.
A SMALL PIECE OF LAM).
NO PEACE PRIZE.
TWO C00LIDGE VIRTUES.
Reasonable expectation of life is
no.v limited to fifty-five years for
the .verage. Formerly, whci; open
severs ran through streets, with
gra -''yards on hillsides draining
mt< wells below, life averaged less
tha i twenty years. Science says
. we lrcady have sufficient medical
knowledge to make life's cxpecta-
tioi twelve years longer, but wc
don l use what we know.
The big problem is extending
life I it men and women past fifty.
Ba rring cancer and other troubles,
not understood, prolonging life is
not complicated. Eat, sleep, exer-
cise and breath properly and living
to ninety will not be difficult. Eat-
ing is especially important. We
are what we eat.
Luigi Cornaro proved it when, at
forty years of age, doctors told him
Ihis case was hopeless.
He cut his diet to twelve ounces
of solid food, with fifteen ounces
pf light wine per day, wrote an in-
teresting book when past ninety,
lived past one huncjrea and wrote
Iw'
to the Archbishop of Venice: "1
mount my horse without difficulty
,and had to live past ninety to real-
ize that the world is beautiful." He
mad his wife live as'he lived, arid
she passed one hundred. Francis
Bacon supplies interesting details
of Cornaro s life, as do other an-
cient writers.
Real estate dealers, old and
young, Daste in your hats.
One hundred years ago a small
piece of land, part pf the old Botan-
'ical Gardens in New York, was
bought for $4,807.36. The land,
three blocks, is 011 Fifth avenue.
John D. Rpcjtefeller, Jr., has just
secured that piece of property for
$100,000,000, an increase to make a
good single taxer shedder.
Mr. Rockefeller will use- part Of
the property for a new Opera
House, to be built in a fashion to
allow students and others that have
musical talent, but no diamond
necklaces, to see and hear.
The mnnpy goes to Columbia
College, which now owils the land.
Th;.t probably reconciles Mr
Rock feller to so l.arge an invest-
ment
He inherits from his father, whe
gave tens of millions to the Uni
vcrsity of Chicago, an interest in
educational enterprises.

1500 Ornamental
Trees Planned (or
T.N.G. Campsite
T. J. Teas and son, of Houston were
here this week looking after the secur-
ing of the contract for planting orna-
mental trees at the Army Camp. There
will be some 1500 trees planted in and
around the camp site, specifying the
Company Streets and around Head-
quarters Club House. Mr. B. F. Bry-
ant thinks that the sycamore trees
will be used as they are quick growth
and well adapted for this soil.
Mr. Teas is of the Houston Nursery
Co. and is very enthusiastic in the
idea of planting trees on the Camp
site. Quite a bit of landscaping will
be done on the Camp and the trees to
be planted all along the main drive
ways.
Mr. Teas and son were very careful
in making a survey and estimate of
the number of trees it would require
to be used to border the main streets
and drive ways at the Camp, and
should they be fortunate to secure the
said contract, they will return to fa-
lacios in a few weeks and commence
the work.
This is a worthwhile idea and plan
of beautifying the Camp site for not
only the "Eyes of Texas are upon it
but the "Eyes of the Nation."
IIENDRICK-TERRELL
A wedding of surprise and interest
to their friends as well as the culmin-
ating of a courtship begun last sum-
mer during the T. N. G, Encampment
at Camp Palacios, took place in Austin
Saturday night, Jan. 12, when Miss
Pollyanna Hendrick and Mr. Weldon
Bailey Terrell were united in mar-
riage, in a quiet wedding at the home
of the groom's mother, where Miss
Hendrick had been a guest the past
two weeks.
Mrs. Terrell is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. R. G. Hendrick, of this city,
and has lived practically all her life
in Palacios. She is a graduate of the
P. H. S. and spent three and one-half
years at C. I. A. She is accomplished
in many ways and has a host of
friends acquired by her ever happy
and congenial manner.
Mr. Terrell comes from one of Aus-
tin's most pi'ominent families. He is
a son of the deceased Senator and Leg-
islator, II. B. Terrell, who war, an out-
standing political figure at the Capi-
tol for a number of years, and is a
brother of S. H. Terrell, present State
comptroller. He attended Bingham
College and is an energetic and de-
serving young man.
After a short honeymoon trip the
newlyweds will return to Austin,
whore Mr. Terrell holds a responsible
position in the State Capitol.
We join their host of friends in
hearty congratulations and best wishes.
REEVES AI5ENDROTH
The happy marriage of Miss Rosa
Lee Reeves to Mr. Abendroth occurred
Monday evening in Bay City, Rev.
Storey, Presbyterian minister, officiat-
ing. The couple left for Needville
immediately after the ceremony, where

present. Rosa Lee, as she is affection-

love her, and to this young couple
hearty congratulations and good wish-
es are extended.

Capt. G. Lawson,
Soldier-Lawyer,
Claimed By Death
Capt. Gordon Lawson, about 45,
Houston attorney, died on the way to
a hospital after his car had been
struck by an International-Great
Northern train at the Hardy Street
road crossing at 10:30 a. m. Friday.
The above news came to Palacios
relatives of Captain Lawson, Friday at
noon and his brother, Grover, imme-
diately went to Houston in response
to this sad message.
The remains of Captain Lawson
were brought to Palacios on the S. P.
train Saturday noon and a large num-
ber of loved ones and sympathizing
friends were in waiting at the deppt
to carry the body to the home of Gro-
ver Lawson, where funeral services
were held at 3 o'clock by Rev. G. F.
Gillespie.
The most beautiful floral offerings
were brought by relatives, friends,
neighbors and clients and tenderly
placed for him whom they had loved
and known, and only words of high es-
teem and kindly praise can be said of
Captain Lawson in all of his dealings
with friend or foe.
Captain Lawson lived in Palacios
a number of years ago and later moved
to Houston where he entered the prac-
tice of law. It is said of him that he
never prosecuted a person in any case,
he would always be o the defending
side. He never spoke ill of a person,
saying only the kind things or none
at all of any one. His idea of a true
life wus:—"Let me live by the side of
life's road, and be a Friend to man."
Captain Lawson was an attorney of
Texas wide reputation, a 32nd Degree
Mason, Spanish-American War sol-
dier, Captain in the World War and a
member of the American Legion. He
was a good son to his mother, a kin**
brother, a wondcrfud father, a true
neighbor and a worthy citizen.
For the past two years he had been
under the careful watch of the Gov-
ernment Hospital in Houston as he
was injured during the World War and
from which he had nt:ver fully re-
covered, but he was able to be actively
engaged in his law practice all the
time.
Captain Lawson is survived by his
mother, Mrs. W. H. Lawson, three
brothers, E. E. Lawson, of Alice; Lee
Roy, of Taftj Grover, of this city; and
two daughters, Mrs. Butler Allen and
Willie Lawson, of Palacios.
A number of friends came from
Houston, Wharton and Bay City to
attend his funeral. The services at
the cemetery were conducted by the
Masonic Lodge. Beautiful flowers and
evergreen were banked around the
grave and the U. S. flag in evidence of
his valor and loyalty.
The active pall-bearers were: John
Bowden, W. C. Gray, W. H. Williams,
J. A. Louderback, Jack Appleton and
Grady Walker.
The following poem was written by
Captain Lawson, and he lived the lines
he wrote:—
Co-operation Makes
Dreams Come True!
A wall built of brick alone would not stand It matters not
how strong each individual brick might be, unless they are bound
together by the mortar, they will not bear the load.
A hundred strong individuals in this community will not build
a community, however, diligently each may work on his own plan,
but whe nail are bound together by the cement of a common
purpose, the town will grow and grow.
•
Palacios has enough energy and resource to build a town of
which the whole community will be proud, but. if we are to realize
upon it and see our dreams come true we must unite on a single
project and binding all forces together with the cement of co-op-
eration, work together for the accomplishment of a single goal.
The cities of today are but the realization of the visions and
dreams of yesterday. Let's dream and work and build for a
bigger and better Palacios of tomorrow.
bigger and better Palacios tomorrow.

For Bond Issue
A CRIMINAL LAWYER'S CODE
By Gordon Lawson, Houston
The above news comes to us from
the Houston Post-Dispatch via the
Palacios Beacon. Now if that state-
ment is 100 per cent true, every one
of us ought to be thankful that we live
in Matagorda County. We are glad
that our Commissioners' Court is a
unit on the question, but how will it
look when ALL OUR VOTES are
counted, for or against that large bond
issue? Will our county vote solidly
for the Sterling plan? Human na-
ture is peculiar at best, but when we
talk of millions, I fear we will have
to get busy and be able to present this
matter in convincing arguments, if
we roll up a majority of which the
enthusiast might be proud of. When
we consider the magnitude of Mr.
Sterling's plan it looks quite favorable,
but when we look over the vast terri-
tory that Texas covers it begins to
dwindle in proportion to our Empire
State, We have long since learned
that we should be in easy touch from
the center to the circumference of our
Great State. True, a lot of people
will hardly live to see the beautiful
plan as outlined by Mr. Sterling a
finished product, but when it is on
record that Texas has actually voted
for such a bond issue the good effects
will vibrate throughout the nation.
Matagorda County, with her rich
lands, her unsurpassed climate, her
miles of beautiful coast, her mineral
resources, her hunting and fishing
grounds, her rich oyster beds—shrimp,
etc.—all these inducements will lure
people to our section by the thousands
—for it is already known from east
to west—north and south that Mata-
gorda County—Palacios, Bay City and
other towns can deliver the goods that
the tourists and the home-seekers
looking for. Yes, give us a chance and
we will roll up a majority for the
bonds. —Dr. T. F. Driskill.

A gray-haired lawyer sat in his den,
Where he had heard the life stories
of women and men,
The world called him hard, the worst
of his kind,
But feared and respected his legal
mind.
He was known as the man who did not
care,
But would win his case by foul means
or fair,
And a great deal of grist had come to
his mill,
When the law had sought the prisons
to fill.
He defended murderers whose hands
were red,
With the very life's blood that they
had shed,
And right or wrong, he had made his
fight,
For his client's life with no thought
of right.
He defended the thief who came in
the night,
And never once thought of law or
right.
He defended women who, alas, had
fell,
From the heights of heaven to the
depths of hell.
He knew the criminals, steeped in
crime,
He had helped them many, many
a time,
And the world looked on and judged
the man,
Because, they did not and could not
understand.
The world knew naught of the heart
of the man,
Of the battles he fought when each
case he began,
For the world judged him by what it
saw,
Helping criminals to beat the law.
He saw them come and saw them go.
Now his hair is gray and his step is
slow,
But no matter how dark or rough th"
road
Ho always lived up to his moral code.
His "clients' interest right or wrong,"
Is his moral code, and like a song
He hears it always, now say if you can
Whether or not it's the code of a man.

In Coming Year
PRODUCTION RECORDS FOR 1928
SHOW INCREASE; NEW
MODELS SHOWN
With the total 1928 production of
Dodge Brothers cars 12.8 per cent
above the 1927 mark, according to fig-
ures announced today, Dodge Brothers
Corporation is entering 1929 with
prospects of the largest year in its
history. Monthly shipments of cars
and trucks have exceeded the corre-
sponding months of 1927 in nearly
every case and, under the guiding
genius of Walter P. Chrysler, the com-
pany expects to establish new produc-
tion records, according to Charles W.
Matheson, general sales manager.
The new Dodge Brothers Six, intro-
duced at the New York show, is at-
tracting unusual attention.
The rich and unique color combina-
tions, graceful lines and roominess of
the 8 body types evoke much favor-
able comment from visitors at the
show and hotel lobbies. Orders have
exceeded all expectations.
The specious Dodge Senior, intro-
duced late last summer has enjoyed
unusual popularity for those who seek
the highest quality in motor cars. The
Senior is available in eight body types,
and is being shown with the New
Dodge Six models.
"We anticipate the heaviest produc-
tion schedule in Dodge history," said
Mr. Matheson. "Facilities at the fac-
tory have been geared for peak volume
output of quality cars. New high
standards have been established in at-
taining maximum performance and de-
pendability that have characterized
the more thnn 2,000,000 motor cars
that bear Dodge Brothers name."
Dr. Stephens Has
Auto Accident
Last Saturday noon Dr. A. E. Steph-
ens happened to quite a serious acci-
dent, while cranking his car. It seems
that Dr. Stephens overlooked the fact
he had released the brake on his car
and after much effort of trying to get
it cranked the car suddenly started
and rolled forward pushing the doctor
against a peach tree and pinning him
between the tree and car fender. Doc-
tor sustained a number of bruises
about llie shoulder and back and broke
one rib.
Dr. Dimmitt was quickly called in
on the case, and states that Dr. Steph-
ens is now resting easy and antici-
pates no bad effects will come from
the injuries.
CONCRETE MIXER HAS ARRIVED
