President R@§s§¥®I! Said*
“Texas is tho Sarden Spot sf the Herd”
©5,000 Acs*© Ranch of Dr. Chss. F. CSmmonc
Now On the Market.
Here is Your Opportunity to Buy a Farm of from 10 Acres to 640 and
Two Town Lots in This “Garden Spot” for $210. Pay-
able $10 per Month Without Interest.
Investigation will show that this
95,000 acres comprises one of the
finest bodies of Agricultural and Truck
Farming land In the entire state, com-
mencing about 36 miles south of San
Antonio and about two miles south of
Pleasanton (the county seat of Atas-
cosa County), and extending through
Atascosa and a part of McMullen
Counties, to within 17 miles of my
60,000-acre Live Oak County Ranch,
■which I In four months last year, sold
to 4,000 Home Seekers, on liberal
terms, without Interest on deferred
payments, which gives the poor man,
from his savings, a chance to secure
a good farm and town lot for his home
In town. I will donate and turn over
to three bonded Trustees, $250,000
from the proceeds of the sale of this
property to the purchasers, as a bonus
to the first railroad built through this
property on the line which I shall
designate.
This property Is located on that mid-
dle plain between East Texas, where
it rains too much, and the arid section
of West Texas, where it does not rain
enough.
Its close proximity to San Antonio,
the largest city In the State, with a
claimed population of over 100,000, en-
hances its value as a market for Agri-
cultural and Truck farm products far
beyond the value dt similar land not
so favorably located.
Topography.
Level to slightly rolling. Large,
broad, rich valleys, encircled by ele-
vations suitable for homes; 90 per
cent, fine farming land, balance pas-
ture land.
Forestry.
Ash, Elm, Gum, Hackberry, Live
Oak, Mesquite, Pecan, abundant for
shade, fencing and wood.
Soil.
About 60 per cent, rich, dark, sandy
loam, balance chocolate or red sandy
loam, usually preferred by local farm-
ers, and each with soil averaging from
2 to 4 feet deep, with clay subsoil,
which holds water.
Climate.
Mild, balmy, healthy, practically
free from malaria, few frosts, no snow,
no hard freezes; continuous seabreeze
moderates extremes of heat and cold,
producing warm winters and cool sum-
mers. Average temperature about 62
degrees. _
Rainfall.
From the Government record, It Is
safe to assume that the rainfall on this
property has been fully 35 Inches per
year, which is more than some of the
old States have had, and is plentiful
for ordinary crops properly cultivated,
and for Grass Growing.
Improvements and Water.
This property Is fenced and cross-
fenced In many large and small pas-
tures. with four barbed wires, with
posts about 12 feet apart. Also a
number of fine shallow wells.
Also a number of fine Lakes and
Tanks.
Also, a number of fine flowing Arte-
sian Wells, whose crystal streams flow
for miles and miles down those creeks,
whoso broad, rich valleys, irrigable
from those continuously flowing
streams, make It the ideal place for
the Marketing Gardener who desires
to raise from two to three crops of
marketable produco on the same
ground every year.
Farming and Truck Farming.
Seasons never end.
This land Is adapted to profitable
culture of Deans, Cabbage, Celery,
Cucumbers, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Beets,
Carrots, Onions, Radish, Squash,
Strawberries, Cauliflower, Okra, Oys-
ter Plant, Peas, Rasberrles, Turnips,
Apricots, Cantaloupes, Grapes, Irish
Potatoes, Olives, Sweet Potatoes, 11a-
nanas, Dates, English Walnuts, Figs,
Melons, Peanuts, Barley, Blackberries,
Broom Corn, Lemons, Plums, Tobac-
co, Alfalfa, Rye, Orunges, Peaches,
Pecans, Corn, Cotton, Oats, Wheat,
Apples, Pears.
Page 63 of tho book entitled "Beau-
tiful San Antonio," officially issued by
the Business Men’s Club of San An-
tonio, dated May, 1906, says:
“It is readily conceded by all those
who know anything about Texas that
the most prolific agricultural section
Is that which recognizes San Antonio
as its logical center, particularly that
portion directly Bouth of San Antonio,
with the Gulf of Mexico bordering on
the southeast and the Ulo Grande bor-
dering on tho south and west.
•‘Within the last four or five years,
in the territory named, special atten-
tion has been given to growing vege-
tables, they maturing at a time when
they secure the maximum prices on
Northern markets, which markets they
virtually Invade without u competitor.
The profit In growing vegetables in
this territory will be seen by an exam-
ination of the following figures, se-
cured from reliable sources, showing
Net Earnings Per Acre:
“Watermelons from $75.09 to $200.00.

"Tabasco Peppers from $500.00 to
$900.00 per aero.
"The Chicago Record-Herahl pub-
lishing tho following Individual experi-
ences in South Texas:
"Men who ennie hero with $500 and
$600 n few years ago are now indo-
pendently rich.
"A young man who camo to this
country for hi3 health, bought IS
acres and in one year cleared over
$6,000 from It, which was $333.33 per
acre.
"Another man, 65 years old, from 79
acres, sold $5,000 worth of produce,
from which he realized $63.29 per aero
and then raised a Cotton crop on part
of It, which made him $35 per acre,
which made the same land net him
$98.29 per acre for that year.
“Another man from 80 acres in 1904
realized as follows: From Onions,
$2,226.91; from Cotton, $1,800; 200
bushels Corn; 12 tons Hay; 5,000
pounds Sweet Potatoes.
"Another made $3,200 from live

miliar with the conditions around San
Antonio for 12 years. Any thrifty
farmer can get rich, and make more
money off of this cheap land, acre for

Illinois, that sells from $150 to $225
per acre.”

THE STORY.
O OAZ was absent from Bethlehem
D at the time of the return of Naomi
.-.nd her daughter-in-law, Ruth’, but on
ills reaching home this bit of news
was among the first to reach his ears,
Tor the townspeople had not yet ceased
to gossip concerning the event, in fact
iio had scarcely gained the gate of his
village before he was surrounded by n
group of neighbors who poured into
Ills interested ear all the story of
Naomi's life and misfortunes in the
'and of Moab, and of her having lost
husband and sons there, and of her rc-
urn in sorrow and poverty to the old
lomo she had left over ten years be-
fore. ,t
"Kllmelech might better have taken
your advice and stayed in Bethlehem,"
ijaculutcd one, as the story wu3 fin-
ished.
"Yes,” responded Benz, sadly; "I
have often wished that ho bad listened
0 me und boen content to remain,
/ruin what you tell me, he could not
invo fared worse had ho done so.
Clintolech and his two sons dead and
inly Naomi left," he repeated, half to
ilni3.df. meditatively. “And what of
s'aomi?" he added, after a few min-
iteB' | uuso, us his thoughts turned
rona the dead to tho living. "You say
lie ban brought a Menbltish woman
.vlth her?"
“Yen, her dauglitor-in-law, Ruth,
vlfu of Ynhlen. "And (hey do say she
1 devoted to H o olJ lady, but some
iriuig" h olive must hnvo brought her
■o..i her country and her people, for
,'aonil hath nothing to uffor iter. In
act it does :;"oi:t that her coming
Naomi's le t tho hat dor. tor
tnere Is ona more mouth t«. l«ed. ‘
■Iveryone is talking about the mbi.sr.t j
'A'as it not foily enough that NaomlV I
ions should have married contrary t<* '
the law of Israel, and now must wo '
iave constant reminder of their sin by j
the coming into our midst cf this
Mcabltish woman?”
"But did Naomi urge her to come?"
asked Boaz.
“No," admitted the other; "it seems
that both daughters-in-law started to
return with her, when she rebuked
them and bade them return to their
homes and their people and their gods.
This, Orpha, the wife of Chilton, did,
but Ruth clung to her mother-in-law,
declaring that whither she went she
would go.”
"But bad she no friends to go to
among her own people that she should
make such choice?" asked Boaz.
"Had she hot, I do not think that
Naomi would have so urged her to re-
turn.”
"Did she not give other reason for
wanting to come?”
"Yes, 1 believe I did hear some one
say that Naonii had told them that
Ruth bad renounced the gods of her
people, saying that she had come to
know that they were no gods ut all,
and that she could not return to serve
them."
"And does she believe In the God of
the Hebrews?” questioned Boaz, who
was a devout Israelite and served God
with loyal whole-heartedness.
"Yes,” tho other went on to ex-
plain; "this woman, ltuth, it is said,
clung to Naomi, pleading that as she
had chosen tho Hebrew people us her
people and the Hebrew God as her
God, she be permitted to return with
her.”
"And since coming thither, how hath
she done?” Boaz continued, persisting
In his questioning, for he had per-
ceived at the very beginning, when
they had begun to tell him of Naomi's
return, that there was a prejudice
against the Moabitish woman who had
come with her, and he was too fair-
minded to condemn her hastily and
on too insufficient evidence.
“Her whole thought has seemed to
be for the comfort of Naomi, and It
must be admitted that she lias worked
unceasingly to provide for their sim-
ple wants,” was the admission.
“Yes," spoke up another, "and when
the neighbors and friends of Naomi
would have provided for them, Ruth
declared that she had come not to bo
a burden but a help, and many Is the
deed of kindness which she hath found
time to do while yet busy with the
tasks which would buy them shelter
and food.”
The drift of the conversation having
been started in that direction, there
were others ready to tell of incidents
In which Ruth had displayed her
sweet, self-sacrificing devotion to her
motlier-ln-law, and also of her faith
in the God of the Hebrews, so that
when Boaz had left the group and
gone on to his own home he had much
to think about.
Naturally he felt special Interest In
Naomi, because she was the widow
of his near relative, Elinielech, but
why should lie trouble himself about
this Moabitish woman? So he thought
as his mind kept recurring to Ruth.
During the busy days which followed,
for the barley and wheat harvests
were near at hand, and he had much
to look after, he could not rid himself
of the thought, and he went over and
over again in his mind all that he had
heard concerning Ruth.
FirBt of all, he settled in his own
mind that her motives for coming to
Bethlehem were purely unselfish, for
the strange land and strange people
could not offer her the same certainty
of home and friends which her own
land would have done. Then that she
was sincere in her desire to have the
Hebrew God as her God was manifest
from the devotion which she had
shown since her arrival in Bethle-
hem.
So, as the days went by, the desire
grew up in his heart to see her. He
had reached an age when he felt he
was beyond sentiment, und for this
reason he could not quite define or un-
derstand the stirrings within his own
breast. He knew he grew into the
habit of listening for some tidings of
Huth, and more than once he ques-
tioned his neighbors and friends con-
cerning her. In this way he became
familiar with every detail, almost, of
her life in Bethlehem, and learned
much of the story of her life before
coming to Bethlehem, for people did
not seem to tire of the gossip which
centered about Naomi and her Moab-
itish daughter-in-law.
"She must be a good woman," Boaz
would say to himself. "I am glad she
has come to Bethlehem,” and he would
go on picturing to himself his home
with such a woman in it. Then he
would laugh and shake off the “spell,”
as he would call it. But Ruth on his
lips came to be a sweet word, and
Ruth came Into his thought as though
she had somehow always been there.
So it went until, during the midst of
the barley hurvest, ho came into his
field one day and, while talking with
tho foreman of the reapers, his atten-
tion was attracted to u figure quietly
following in the wake of tho men ns
they cut and gathered und stucked tho
grain.
'Whose damsel Is this?" he asked,
and while tho words were being ut-
tered, und before tho servant could
reply, there came tho whispering un-
swer In his heart, "Ruth.”
And us he looked upon her, even be-
fore he had spoken to her and she had
made reply, ho knew that ills heart
had been conquered.

Childhood and Edu- "
cation of Moses
Sunday School Lesson lor May 26,1937
Specially Prepared for This Paper.
LESSON TEXT.—Exudua 2:1-15. Mem-
ory verses, 9, 10.
GOLDEN TEXT.—"Moses was learned
In all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and
was mighty in words and deeds."—Acts
7:22,
TIME.—Mones was born probably dur-
ing the reign of Ramese3 II., which last-
ed 67 yeurs, Humeses dyinK at the &fe
of nearly 100. Sayce gives us the Umith
of ids reign H. C. 1348-1281; Driver, 1215-
120S; Breasted, 1293-1225. According to tho
common chronology, Moses was born H.
C. 1571, and our lesson, covering tho first
40 years of his life, would extend to 1531.
PLACE—Moses was horn at the capital
of Egypt, which at that time was either
Memphis, nearly where modern Cairo Is,
or Tanis (Zoan), in the eastern part of
tho Nile delta..
Comment and Suggestive Talk.
The Working of God’s Plans.—See
what factors entered into this preser-
vation of the world's greatest man.
There was (l)a humble slave family:
(2) a little basket of bulrushes; (3)
a little girl; (4) a baby’s tears; (5)
Pharaoh's own daughter; (6) the
child's own mother; (7) a royal court.
Ail of these were brought together
at Just the right time, in just the right
way. "This lesson is one of the best
illustrations of a perfect combination
of the best co-working of huniun effort
and divine providences.”
The Court Life of Mosea.—"Tho fa-
vor of the king's only daughter and
presumptive heir made his life in
these early years one long, unclouded
summer morning, for all that wealth
and power could command were at his
service.”—Gelkle. "He would live
chiefly In the apartments of Ills moth-
er, which would probably be a portion
of the royal residence, and would bo
furnished with every luxury.”—Raw-
llnson. Yet life at Pharaoh’s court,
"amid all its attractions and advant-
ages, must have had some drawbacks.
Egyptian youths and Egyptian court-
iers could not be altogether cordial
to the Hebrew boy, who, as the grand-
son of Pharaoh, enjoyed so exalted a
position, and received such eminent
attention."—Blaikie.
The School Life of Moses.—Egypt
then had two great universities, at
Heliopolis and Hermopolis, and Moses
is said to have studied in the former,
which was situated about 20 miles
north of Memphis. It was "the Ox-
ford of Ancient Egypt,” as Alexandria
was in later times. Herodotus went
thither to gather information for his
travels, and Plato studied there for
13 years. "Shady cloisters opened in-
to lecture rooms for the students, and
quiet houses for the professors and
priests, in their many grades and of-
fices; there being room for all In the
corridors of the huge pile.”—Geikie.
A splendid library would be at his dis-
posal. The library of the Ramesoum
at Thebes—a structure built by Hume-
ses II.—contained 20,000 books.
The studies of the young man would
include the two forms of difficult
Egyptian writing, arithmetic, geomet-
ry, trigonometry to some extent, as-
tronomy, music, both vocal and instru-
mental, painting and architecture,
medicine and chemistry, history and
law, poetry and other branches of lit-
erature, and especially theology, ex-
tending to its highest form, “the phil-
osophy of symbolism,” in which tho
Egyptian religion, gross as it was,
came nearest to the Hebrew. As a
member of the royal family, Moses
was no doubt received into the priest-
ly caste, and knew all their secret
lore.
The Military Life of Moses.—Steph-
en tells us (Acts 7:22) that Moses
was "mighty in words and In deeds."
The words "may have meant such
power of composition au appears in
the hymn by tho Red sea, and in tho
magnificent valediction to ids people.”
—Expositor’s Bible. As to the deeds,
after completing his university course,
AloseB might have become a hanger-on
at the court, or obtalnt^d some civil ap-
pointment and sought to climb the of-
ficial ladder, or entered the literary
life, or devoted himself to the priest-
hood, or become a soldier. The tra-
dition that he chose the last-named
calling is in accordance with the prob-
abilities, and explains his great mili-
tary ability displayed in the exodu3
and afterwards.
The Patriot’s First Attempt.—It was
natural that Moses' first attempt at
aiding his people should lie a blunder.
Even the greatest men make mistakes,
and prove their greatness by their
ability to learn from their mistakes.
The Patriot’s Second Attempt.—"To
3mite the oppressor was not enough.
Moses must unite and discipline tho
nppressed. And this was his next ef-
fort."—Hanna. "The treatment he re-
ceived from the Hebrews he sought to
aid showed that they were by no
means ripe for freodoiu or national-
ity.”—Townsend.
Lessons In Patience.—Ex. 2:16-26.
Moses remained in Mldlan for the sec-
ond of the three 40-year periods Into
which his life is divided.
Practical Points.
"Every man's life Is a plan of God.”
The life of each scholar in your class
has been planned by God as carefully
and loviugly as that of Moses.
The best start in life is that af-
forded by a godly home. Not the rich-
est family in Egypt gave their son a
better outfit for life than Moses re
celved from his slave parents.
Every child Is u possible prince.
The chain of providence is always
ready, when hands are ready to seize
it.
Desert experiences come to all,
times of wailing, of apparent failure.

across the foot of the bed.”—The Uo
