WAR PRICES BRING ON MANY
STARVATION CASES

New York, Aug. 2.-Just how hard
imitation of food prices has hit the
east side was revealed today in a
search of hospital records. Five cases
of starvation have been treated at
Bellevue within the past few days.
All were from the tenement districts
and all said the war prices" kept
them from obtaining proper nourish-
ment.
For the first time in a score of
years broad lines are forming here in
summer. Many grocers on the east
side have been compelled to suspend
credit. Scores of families have been
evicted. 1t is from these that the mis-
sion food lines are drawn.
Eggs in Belgium are one cent each.
Prices of other foodstuffs is CORE
spondingly low with the exception of
meat.

YOU should BUY
A BALE OF COTTON
IS HERE EXPLAINED

There arr at least 400 bales Of cotton in the immediate Brownsville vicinity
that remain unpicked because the farmers realizing there is 10 market for the pro-
duct are ioathe to invest the money necessary to pick the feecy staple principally
because they feel the need OF using their ready cash in other quarters. In Cameron
county there are perhaps 1900 bales still in the fields for the san reason.
The people Of Brownsville and other towns in Cameron county can assist the
farmers o. their communities by investing N a bale Of cotton al 10 cents a pound,
and every $50 thus placed IN circulation through the farmers means just that much
money circulated In the neghborh0od. The farmer must have goods He car not
get them without the cash.
The Herald has already had one application from a lady who wishes TO assist
in the movement by investing in a bale Of cotton. c. r. landegren, manager of
Swift & Co.'S branch house in this city has been authorized by his company to buy
a bale of cotton as ar investment for the company. John [. Rutedge has been
authorized by a company he represents to purchase a bale of cotton and store II
for the company. There are n doubt many other individuals who feel able and will
ing to invest a matter Of $50 in buying a bale Of cotton

A Month Of roug

Last month was the dryest May on
record. The average temperature was
66.3 as compared with the normal OF 62.2
There was frost in some places the first
week in May and the highest tempera-
ture on the 9th was "a.
10 the region for eight miles around
Penns Grove there was no rain from May
4 until June 4, and not a heavy rain
from April %. The rain which fell on
Thursday was light, not enough to wet
the ground so plants could be set out
without watering.
Corn, pototoes and tomatoes which
were planted early and cultivated plenti-
fully have not been affected by the
drought. The strawberry crop has been
cut to one-fourth what it would have been
with favorable weather.
Only a few have set out late tomato
and sweet potato plants, which had to be
watered to keep from dying.
