GROWING SUGAR CANE.
In the geographies used in the
school of the United States the
young students are given to un
derstand that the State of Louisiana
is one of the very sweetest lands
on earth, that in the bottom lands
of the Mississippi sugar cane grows
almost as well as in the -West
Indian Islands and some times
passing mention is made of certain
limited areas in the state of Texas
where sugar is made but as yet it
would.be hard to find a text book
that contains any information
about the real position held by
'Texas as a sugar producing coun
try. For 30 years in the Rio
Grande Valley enormous yields of
sugar have been produced of a
quality never dreamed of by the
planters of Louisiana. And while
the cane has been phenominally
irlch in suger, it is the enormous
yield and the proper maturing of
the stalk that has astonished men
from Louisiana. It is hard for
them to believe the truth of the
wonderful stories they hear of the
JLower Rio Grande Valley, they
aave to be shown. The other day
John Closner received a letter from
a Louisiana planter, asking if it
was a fact that we had cane with
joints formed already. Mr. Clos
ner for answer sends a few stalks
12 .to 14 feet high and with from
10 to 12 joints already formed
"These samples will convince those
-fortunate enough to see them that
he Lower Rio Grande Valley is
really growing sugar caue. Just
s Brownsville shipped grapes of
superior, quality to California six
weeks ahead of any that country
-can produce in order to convince
the people of the Golden Gate that a
new star had arisen in the horti
cultural heaven. So the samples
of cane sent to Louisiana by Mr.
Closner will convince the planters
there that there is another land
coming to the front and that it can
justly claim to be the sweetest spot
in the United States.
TAXES NOT INCREASED.
It is just possible that there may
"be a few of the taxpayers in
Brownsville who have not been
.fully informed of the financial part
the taxpayers will play in the cons
t-!irtinn of the waterworks and
-electric lighting plant. If the tax
nwwrs vote to issue the bonds
tr J
for the construction of these public
-works, there will be no incease in
the taxes. At the present time the
taxes are 65 cents on the hundred
dollars valuation, this is all the
law allows the city to collect, and
even if it were possible to collect
-more it would not be necessary
for the construction of these very
necessary public utilities. Twenty
five cents of the 65 cents collected
goes into the fund for permanent
improvements and it is from this
fund that the interest on the bonds
will be paid. There will be no cal
. -made for any increase on account
of the water used for fire purposes
or for street lights, as would be
the case if a private corporation
were given the franchise to build
these works. Then the payment
for. water or lights could not be
said to come under the head of
Xermanent improvements, but the
imer
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the ideal summer drink.
Cooling, satisfying and refreshing, it adds to the enjoyment
of the outdoor luncheon for it is a food as well as a drink.
Pabst brews for food qualities as well as for purity and
flavor. Pabst found the only way to get all of the food-values
out of the barley-grain was to follow Nature in making the
malt, by growing it slowly and scientifically and he mere
fore perfected the Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process. Pabst
Malt is richer in nutriment than other malts.
Xke Beer of Quality
is a more healthful, wholesome food than other beers. The Pabst
Perfect Brewing Process blends the rich food values of Pabst Malt
with the tonic properties of the choicest hops under con
ditions that insure positive purity, while reducing the
percentage of alcohol to the minimum less than 3J.
Pabst Blue Ribbon is the ideal family beer, because
of its food values, its purity and its remarkably small
amount of alcohol, making it a truly temperance drink.
When ordering beer, ask
for Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Pabst at Milwaukee
And Bottled only at the Brewery.

payment of the bonds for these
permanent works does come under
that head, so that it will be readily
seen that under the proposed plan
of the city council for erecting
waterworks and electric lighting
plant, we shall obtain water ana
ights and the money that
would go to enrrich a private cor
poration in payment for that ser
vice will go towards the payment
of the bo nds. There will be no
increase in taxation and the indiv
idual households will not have to
take water from the city unless
they want it, so that on the score
of expense the most conservative
man in the city connot vote against
the bond issue. Indeed it is the
very persons who have hitherto
been indifferent about the improv
ements who will benefit most by
the increase in the value of proper
ty. The man who is now worth
$100,000 will wake up in a couple
of years and find that his property
has doubled in value and that this
increase of wealth has been attain
ed 'without the expenditure of a
single penny, au increase the di
rect result of his wisdom in voting
for the issue of bonds to construct
municipal electric lighting plant
and water works.
