That

Nurseries where mothers could
leave their children were added to
cinematograph theaters in many
American cities some time ago, but
parents complained that they did not
wish either to leave their children or
to walk out when they began to cry.
Accordingly, Mr., Harold Ballou, who
owns the largest cinematograph thea
ter in the residential quarter Of Seat
tie, has built along one side OF his
theater large glass-inclosed room,
in which mothers and nurses can take
noisy babies and still see the pictures.

Poste Restante

After reading the Ladies' Birthday

give it trial. SO she got bottle

day. Since then she has been getting

Mother only used up four bottles

troubled with the severe headaches,
and her stomach is 30 much stronger,

TRY HAVING FAITH.


Dear Miss Fairfax

love with a young man of nine
teen, who l know loves me. We
have been very great sweet
hearts for the last two and a
half years. During that time he
has always been bringing every
cent Of his salary TO his mother.
Many a time l have asked him
what he was going to do when
matters get serious with US, and
he tells me when the time comes
his mother will give him all he
needs. He tells me he expects
that to be three or four years
from now Being that we are not
engaged yet, my mother thinks
that we ought not to 20 out to-
gether until we are. Let me
know what | am to do to have
him make himself boss Of his
own salary, so as 70 make him
begin to make things serious SO
we can at least be engaged.

NO GREAT RUSH
DESPITE FACT THAT TOMORROW
MARKS CLOSE OF EXTENDED
TIME FOR TAX DELINQUENTS.

Only a little over twenty-four hours
remains in which the delinquent tax
payer can pay up his city taxes without
being taxed with the penalty, yet City
Tax Collector Garcia does not report any
very great rush to get in before the dis
tance flag falls.
1t may be that the rush will develop
at the last hour tomorrow, but the col
lector would be glad if the rush would
start early or rather if the influx Of tax
money would get in early to avoid the
rush.
Up to moor the call for tax receipts
did not intimate any ardent desire to es-
cape the ten per rent. delinquency fine.

CATTLE TURNED BACK
FIVE HUNDRED HEAD BEING
BROUGHT FROM MONTEMAYOR
RANCH ORDERED RETURNED.

The MOntemayOr ranch is about one
hundred and twenty miles out of Mata-
moros and it is a long way to drive cat
tie on a rush order in the days Of super
heated atmosphere, especially if those
cattle are forced to turn around without
rest and make the hard back home trot.'
This is what happened to a bunch OF
cattle that were being brought from the
Montemayor ranch the other day.
Some time ago General Blanco asked
a loan" from the Montemayor estate
Of thirty thousand pesos. OF this amount
ten thousand is said to have been paid
in cash and the other was to be arrang-
ed by head tax of five pesos on each beast
brought over the river.
Just a few days ago nearly nine hun
dred were brought over making the
amount paid back on the loan something
over sixteen thousand dollars.
Buyers. knowing that the M%ontemay-
Ors were anxious to get out of the loan
paying business as quickly as possible,
told them they would take another
bunch. Consequently the men went to the
ranch and got back with five hundred
day before yesterday. But they did not
get to MatamOros, as they were met
about fifteen miles out by orders from
General Blanco to turn back to the
ranch with their cattle. The suppOsitiOn
on the part of the officials .is that either
the loan had been compromised and the
M~ontemayOrs preferred not to sacrifice
any more cattle at this time and at the
prices they were now bringing. or that
Blanco decided it would not do to fur
Their denude this section of ~Tamaulipas
of cattle at this time. However this is.
the buyers did not get the cattle and took
their auto trip, to meet the cattle and
pass on them to no use.

HEAVY WORK AHEAD
HAVE GRIND ON ACCOUNT OF
NON-RENDERED PROPERTY.

That over twO-thirds of the city prop
erty has not been rendered for 1913 is
the statement made by City Tax Collec-
tor NJ. J. Garcia today. He is having the
list of %unrendered property prepared
and this will be sent to the board of
equalization today. Only about one
hundred and thirty or forty renditions
have veen turned over to the board so
far. They will have to issue citations in
regard to unrendered property to the
numbed Of over two hundred if the above
estimate is correct.
1t also develops from the auditing re-
port that there are several pieces of
property in the city of Brownsville which
have not been assessed for years and on
which no taxes have been paid for sever
al years. These matters will have to be
looked into by the board.
In addition to this work, it is likely
that the work of tax equalization will
be pretty hard. Up to the present time
they have only gotten down to the "G's'
in the small list they have and of this
list they have cited eighteen to appear
and show why their rendition should
nor be raised. 1t appears that the city
board will nave a harder time on this
score than did the county equalization
board. as many of the city property
owners have put their renditions down
very low.
