one came near causing me a
world OF trouble at the International
bridge Saturday" said Henry Esting-

He took the remaining Ons and de-
stroyed it could not understand why
TINS was done. w. Z. HlxsOn, my
friend here, could not tell me, and /
have come to The Herald for infOrma-
ton. Why was it?"
The explanation given by customs
men is that the department of agri>
culture has quarantined all Mexican or
anges because of the orange worm
which has infected the Mexican citrus
fruit Special orders have been given
against allowing the fruit to be brought
into the country IN lunch boxes or
sacks, as it is considered even more
dangerous than large shipments, as a
Wormy orange might easily be thrown
out OF the window Of a transcOntinentaI
tram while 1t was passing through a
California orange grove and infect the
entire grove.
