POTATO SLIP SALE CHECKED

Only 102 Grower* Allowed

To Sell in Texa*

Thi* Year

AUSTIN. May 14.—Only 102 growers will be permitted to sell sweet potato slips in Texas this year, J. M. Del Curto, chief ento- mologist of the state department of agriculture stated following the examination of more than 400 ap- plicants. He said land of the major- ity of applicants was Infested with pests which were harmful to sweet potatoes and which might nullify the work of the department in attempt- ing to eliminate crop dangers

Del Ourto stated the work of erad- icating sweet potato dangers was re-

viving interest in the crop and that more than 3.000 carloads of the product was produced in Texas dur- ing the last growing season. Esta- blishment of pest free zones and quarantine against the introduction of faulty plants has been one of the main objects accomplished In the campaign, he said.

The establishment of free zones

also has caused other areas to start

cleanup campaigns because products from “dirty” areas cannot find as

ready a market as those certified by the state.

As a result of the efforts of the

agricultural department, Oklahoma Arizona and Arkansas have remov-

ed their quarantine against Texas sweet potatoes if they come from pest free areas. Del Curto said.

FOR DIVORCE Will Brownsville become a second

Reno? Such a possibility Is seen in a let-

ter from an El Dorado, Ark., un-

dertaker who writes to the local chamber of commerce that he had seen clippings from his local paper saying that divorces were gran'?! easily and swiftly in Mexico.

If such is the ca^e he explains he will be here on ihe next train. He adds that he eculd not get a

divorce In El Dorado but wants oi.-;

bad enough to come through Brownsville to Mexico for one.

Chamber of commerce officials, while not running a matrimonuli bureau or a divorce mill for /ne| lovelorn, said tha- inquiries into

the matter would be made.

COLOR in the

Playroom Plentv of sunshine, fresh sir and

cheerfulness are absolutely neces-

sary in the modern playroom. Sur- roundings have a marked influence on a child’s disposition. The sun-

nier and more cheerful the play- j room, the sunnier and more cheer- ful the little one’s disposition will be.

Judge Hutcheson Is Heard By Rotary

Meeting in regular session at the El Jardm hotel today noon, mem- bers of the Brownsville Rotary club heard from Judge J. C. Hutch- eson Jr., a pointed message which might be tilted never die until they take you out in the coffin.

The federal official declared that when a man quits striving tjr the horizon beyond, which opens up and advances with every achieve- ment of life, at that moment he becomes deda. wh'lner or not li* is ready for burial.

This, he said, Jid not apply to business for often a man retires from the activities of making money, but that he should never permit himself to ret're from tne pursuit of achievement both for himself and for mankind.

He quoted the Bible “What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul" to say that while religion shoo'd be a vigorous part of every man s life he should not hesitate to enter the stream of life, lor it Is when

he pauses on the bank through fear or caution, that he loses his soul.

Following the meeting membets of the club adjourned to visit George White still ill in the hos- pital. Jesse Dennett was chairman of the day.

Brownsville by air Tuesday. Rather, a fowl shipment passed

through here by air express. A to- tal of 800 baby chicks, headed for the interior of Mexico, and several rare and peculiar birds of various colors were handled by the Mexican Aviation company Tuesday morn- ing

OLD FASHIONED

BEER GARDEN IS

HALTED EARLY The beginning of sn old fashion-

ed, cool beer garden beside a placid stream was nipped in the bud Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff R. L. Longoria.

Two men are In Jail and will likely be given preliminary hear- ings sometime this week

Longoria came upon the "garden" in a thicket on the banks of the Arroyo Colorado naif way between Rto Hondo and Ha-Ungen.

A neat place was chopped ou: and beautified wltn a bench for customers and cold beer on the ice. There were two men present Longoria asked one of the men what he was doing. He said he h:*d just arrived with the other man. The other man retimed that he did nothing of the kind, and fur- thermore he. himself, was "/isn- ing.” However, he could not pro- duce either tackle or bait.

Leaving the scene. Longoria caught the second man as he came down the lane with Rnother supply of ice. The "fisherman" was freti while the other two went to jail.

The nine-months-old daughter of Joaquin and Emilia Perez died last night on the San Pedro ranch.
