FROM TEXAS IS
ADVERTISING FROM EMPIRE
STATE SHOWS THE WORLD
TRUTH HANDLED RECKLESSLY
TO BRING RESULTS
PARIS, Texas, Aug. 29.—Texas has
prepared a brief which proves that
the state believes in advertising, no
matter how truthful the facts. The
matter is being circulated by an offi
cial body and is as follows:
“Texas occupies all the continent of
. North America except a small part set
aside for the United States and Can
| ada. Texas owns the north of the
i Rio Grande, the only dusty river in
I the world; also the only one with the
| the possible exception of the Trinity
! which is navigable for mud cats and
pedestrians.
“Texas is bounded on the north by
25 or 30 states, and on the east by all
the oceans in the world except the
Pacific and on the south by the Gulf
of Mexico and South America, on the
we°t by the Pacific ocean. Milky Way
and the real side of the universe.
“It Texas were chopped loose from
the rest of the United States at, the
Panhandle it would float out into the
ocean, as it rests upon a vast sea of
oil.
' Texas is so big that the people in
Prownsville call the Dallas people
Yankees and citizens of Ei Paso sneer
at the citizens of Texarkana as being
big snobs from the effete East.
“lc is 15 miles farther from El Paso
to Texarkana than it is from Chicago
to New York and Fort Worth is near
ear to St. Paul, Minn., than it is to
Brownsville.
“The chief occupation of the people
of Texas is trying to keep from mak
ing all the money in the world. The
cnief pursuit of the people was for
merly Mexican bandits, now it is land
buyers, .steers and Texas crop rer
cords.
“The United States with Texas off
the map would look like a three-iegged
Boston terrier.
“Texans are so proud of Texas that
they cannot sleep at night. If a Tex
an’s head should be opened the map
of Texas would be found on his brain.
This is also true of his heart. Unless
your front gate is 150 miles from
your front door you ho loi belong to
society as constituted in Texas. Mrs.
King’s gate is 200 miles from her
front door and she is thinking of mov
ing her house back so she will not be
bothered by book agents and peddlers.
“Other Texas landlords have whole
mountain ranges and riven: on their
ranches. One Texas farmer has forty
miles of navigable river on his farm.
If the proportion of cultivated land in
Texas were the same as Illinois the
value ol Texas crops wouij equal that
3f 47 other states.
“Texas has enough land to supply
every man, woman and child with a
tract 5x20 feet and have enough left
aver for the armies of the world to
march around her bordeFiivfc abreast.
“Texas gorws enougn alfalfa, if
baled and built into a stairway _to
reach the pearly gates.
“If all the hogs in Texas were one
bog he could dig the Panama canal in
three roots.
“If all the Texas steers were one
steer he could stand with his front
teet in the Gulf of Mexico, one hind
foot in the Hudson bay, the other in
the Arctic ocean and with his horns
punch holes in the moon, while his
tail would brush off the mist from the
aurora borealis.
“If all the cotton raised in Texas
annually were made into a mattress
all the people in the world could take
a nap at one time.
“If all the Bermuda onions grown
around Laredo were made in a neck
lace it would encircle the globe.
“Texas is rightly named the garden
of the Lord.”
