French Red Gross to Adopt Method.
Sales Made Today by Local
Organization.

That the American Red Cross Christ
mas seal idea is attracting attention
not only a home but abroad was mani
tested yesterday, when a letter from
the French Red Cross was received at
the French embassy in Washington
asking for information in regard to
the annual sale of the little stickers.
The information which was requested
has been furnished, and it is under
stood the French Red Cross expects to
adopt the plan next year for the pur-
pose of raising funds to be used as
are the proceeds of the Christmas seals
disposed of in this country
Regarded as Compliment.
The request is regarded as peculiarly
complimentary to the American Red
Cross, for the reason that seals or
stickers were used in Denmark and
Norway several years before they first
came into use in this country. The Red
Cross organizations of the two coun-
tries mentioned sold the seals during
the Christmas holidays, the proceeds
being devoted to the relief of tubercu-
lcsis sufferers.
Bank to Use Five Thousand.
The Riggs National Bank has sent
its check for $50 to the local com
mittee in charge Of the sale of Christ
mas seals. and intends to use at least
5000 of the seals on the bank mail.

A VISIT TO THE CITY MARKET.

The market basket The backbone of
the thrifty household.
The market housc-some American
cities have them, many do not; rarely is
a city the size Of Brownsville found to
have a city market at all, much less is
one found at this season of the year
stocked with every variety Of vegetable
grown. This is not only because Browns
Vile has amOng its conycnicnccs 4 mar
kct house second to zone in the state Of
Texas; it is not only because the city gov
eminent has seen fit to erect a substantial
market house that is a credit to the city
but it is chiefly because Brownsville
has back Of il unusual provisions by ma
turc; and they are climatic conditions
and soils.
Get up early. Take your market basket
under your arm and 90 90 market. You
will not be laughed at. 1t is the fashion
for the heads Of the family to 90 to mar
ket. BY all means. rise early and 90 to
market. In Brownsville early in the
morning YOU will see some of our leading
lawyers with their children going to
market-with their arms through basket
handles. Earlier, YOU may find a city al
dcrman going 10 market. Bimcby, you'll
see another lawyer drive up from West
Brownsville in his carriage, ready and
willing to take to his home vegetables or
meat. or both. for the noon or the even
ing meal. The doctors are also doing it,
and also the merchants-some Of them.
at least. The weather. No, nO-iuSt
the habit, that's all.
And the girls of the family-they also
90 to market. Bright and early you will
see s~prightly young misses going to mar
ket with their baskets. Their faces are
as bright as the morning, their smiles as
cheerful as the rising sun. Perhaps q
shawl covers their head and shoulders.
Perhaps Il light coat covers a-mOrning
drcss-a kimona, possibly. But why care:
Is it not early? And who notices since
bright faces and cheerful smiles are 50
much more prominent?
Now to the buying. Experienced mar
ket- goers know when prices are cheap;
likewise are they fully aware when they
are high. In the latter case. instead of
doing without he buys less. A wise move,
indeed. In Brownsville it is not ncces-
sarv to stint, neither is it necessary to do
without. Prices of vegetables are rea-
sonable, decidedly so for the average
family, as witness what the writer found
upon inquiry at the city market yester
day morning.

NOTHING TO DO WITH RIO

them, and says he expects to be kept busy

Office hunters followed Mr.. Garner to
San Antonio. Scores Of them came from
various parts of the fifteenth district and
many of them who could not come sent

the lobby of the hotel from morning until

many San AntOnianS of the labor that
follows every member of congress who
is a member of the dominant party after
Il change of national administrations
Mr.. Garner found little time to devote
to his San Antonio friends, but appeared
to be resigned to the fate politics brought
him. He held conferences with Marshall
Hicks, John 7. Briscoe of Devine. ant
many others who are not seeking office.
