The visitor becomes aware of that fact the moment ho entere the grounds. As he passes through the main entrance, the first building he sees on the left is the administration building which houses the offices of the extensive organization necessary to operate successfully a spray, 100 feet high, with colored lights playing upon It to produce this mood of the scene which follows.

Since the birth of the republic, cattle have been a vitally Important factor In the prosperity of the Lone Star state. Her broad plains were Ideal cow country and she gave to the world that romantic figure, the cowboy, with his hat, his leather chaps to protect his legs from the sharp thorns as he chased those gaunt longhorn steers through d the inesqulte, his boots with tlielr Jingling spurs and his daring and endurance, necessary for tlie Job of trailing the vast herds north over tlie rattle trails that led out of Texas. Although tlie day of tlie open range is virtually a tiling of tlie past, Texas still has some of tlie largest cattle ranches and tlie greatest herds of entile In the world today, and the cnltie business Is still one of the keystones In her prosjicrity.

A few years ago a Texas publics tlon printed an editorial tribute to him which said: Austin was the father of Texas In a much truer sense than Washington may be said to have been the father of the United States. It was he who planted civilization west of the Sabine so deeply that it could never be uprooted. He was consciously and He went deliberately a builder. about ills task systematically and And tlie Texas of topatiently. We like to day is his monument recall that Austin started the col onlzatlmi of Texas because he had lost everything lie bad in the depression of 1819, and began his work burdened by an overwhelming load of debt. We like to recall also that the Republic of Texas was set up and established In the midst of the depression of 1S37 and tlie lean years Immediately following. Modern Texas la the result of the labors and sacrifices of the founders In the midst of two depressions. Is there not inspiration for us today in all this? There must have been Inspiration for Texana In Austin's ex ample.
