The well known "Jud's market" is
no more. Mr.. Harvey, better known
as Jud, has gone out of the business
and has sold the fixtures of his market
to Charles Rush The underlying rea-
son for such action is that the room
which the market has occupied is to
be one of the three to be torn down
when the new bank building is start

Big Jim Clarity" is the superin-
tendent of a mine in Georgia. The
owner of the mine, an old and infirm
man, willed the property to Jim on his
death, leaving living expenses for his
nephew, who is a doctor and victim
of drug which he distributes. The
doctor makes repeated requests to
Jim for money, but they are turned
down. Later Jim incurs the enmity
of a mine foreman, and the latter,
with the doctor, attempts to blow up
the mine. They are partially success
full, and in the fight over the Spoils
the cashier is killed, Jim being &C
cused of the murder and sent TO Jail.
He escapes and goes to a foreign
country. Coming bach several years

York society. He falls in love with
the daughter in the house and learns
that she is drug victim and receives
the drug from the doctor who is re-
sponsible for his Incarceration. They
meet later and the doctor, in mortal

HABIT OF BEING HAPPY

Keeping oneself reasonably happy
| is duty that ought not to be shirked
Science is telling us these days that
to get out. of the habit of enjoyment is
to get depressed in vitality and vigor
to weaken in efficiency. and grow old
before ones time. There is nothing
like laughter-not empty-headed
laughter, but the intelligent, whole
some, kindly-hearted kind-to keep
people young and fresh and fit for
business and the obligation of living.
OF course, this is a prescription not
easy to live up to always, but there is
no reasonable excuse for not trying
to do it, Sometimes it is just about
as easy to be happy to to be miserable
if one makes up his mind to it, and
there is no doubt at all as to which
pays the best-Onward.

Charlestonans will feel a special in
terest from the fact that the remains
of Florida's most widely known his
torical character, Osceola, lie at the
entrance to old Fort Moultrie.
While in the city Mrs. Wilson was
the guest of Mrs T. Moultrie Morde-
cal. Her views of the Seminole In
Idians are most interesting, especially
in connection with the famous Indian
novel, Ramona, which Charleston
ians had the pleasure of seeing on the
screen only week or two ago.
According to Mrs. Wilson, maya
zine writer's as well as the daily press
writer's are humanely taking up the
subject of Florida's neglected Semi
mole Indians.

"The Seminoles fear and are sus.

The treaty they had for the land they
occupied, building contract, has
been disregarded, like so much waste

Laredo Times Declares MexicanS
Are Starving Because Not Allowed
To Garry Arms; Therefore Unable
To Kill Game OF Any Kind

but it is safe to say that an American
in the same situation would find
some way of securing the toothsome
morsels that daily tempt his empty
stomach, and would keep from starv-
ing in land Of plenty.
1t is aggravating to a number of our
local sportsmen that while turkeys are
in such abundance but short dis
lance away, there are none to be
found in this section. At one time
there was an abundance of turkeys
to be found within short ride from
Laredo, and even in Mexico many of
our sportsmen got good bag. But
under existing circumstances it is not
to be wondered at that our residents
do not care to go to Mexico for their
game.
If there is the concern for the con-
dition of the poor that declared to
exist on the part of the de facto gov
eminent, there should be no difficulty
in arranging matters so that the
starving people should be able to Sc
cure some of the food that is to be
found in the forest and along the
streams in Mexico.
A deer would make welcome ad-
dtion to the poor fare of several fam
lilies, while the ducks, turkeys and
other would birds that are now on
their way to more southern climes
should furnish many starving people
with all that they need to tide them
over until better times.
A shotgun or target rifle could not
constitute any great menace to the
Carranzista armies, and it might
help to save many lives. Even if the
people were disposed to rise against
the present government, a range OF
SO yards would not be effective
against modern army rifles.

ACTORS HAVE CAMERA FRIGHT
Studio Sensation as Acute as First
Nioht Nervousness

| have been asked about using reg
ular professional actors on the screen
to produce comedy effects. Generally
speaking, the greater the artist, the
more readily he lends himself to any
branch of his art There are num-
Der of these gentlemen, however, who
have considerable difficulty while they
are trying to become screen players.
Their habits of actual business,
or action, have all to be learned and
a new set of rules followed. For in
stance in a regular theater the stage
is about fifty or sixty feet across and
the scene covers the entire area. In
pictures a screen, to show facial ex-
preston with any value at ALL must
be played within scope of five or
six feet-just a tenth of the space.
Also, colors in makeup are of no
assistance. Rouge photographs black,
and we even tone down high natural
coloring with a little white powder.
There is a very life-like tone pro-
duced by a certain shade of yellow,
and this secret remained to be dis
covered by a young woman star.
Furthermore the good comedian is
usually on his mettle at the theater
and receives from his first laugh the
impetus and stimulation to encour-
age him to "go on being funny" At
ter a good laugh at something really
funny he has ingratiated himself into
the hearts of the audience and they
will laugh at less brilliant mots. But
the screen star doesn't know just
when he has really started to be fun.

(The Laredo Times)

While reports come from all parts
of Mexico that there is a shortage Of
food and that the very poor are starv-
ing for want of the necessary coin
with which to purchase what they
need, word is brought to Laredo that
in many places the game was never
so plentiful as at present. Within a
short distance of Laredo a Mexican
rancher states that one can shoot
wild turkeys from his dooryard, while
the deer and other game were never
so bold.
One of the reasons for this plen-
itude of game while the poor people
are starving is the policy Of the party
in power to prevent at all hazards
the risk of the uprising which they
fear would follow the possession of
arms and ammunition by the people.
The press reports from the capital
state the ammunition factories in all
parts of the republic are turning out
a vast quantity of cartridges daily,
although it is known that there is a
shortage of ammunition even in the
garrisons of the Carranza troops.
The civilian who keeps arms in his
foreigners have been disarmed by
orders of the army officers. There is
no ammunition for the soldiers, much
less for the civilians, and it is con-
sidered dangerous to leave even a
target rifle or shotgun in the hands
Of the "paisanos."
For some time it was prohibited to
carry out of Mexico any game of any
sort, and those who shot rabbits on
the outskirts of Nuevo Laredo were
not allowed to bring their game to
this side of the river.
With so much game in the country
1t seems hard that the people should
starve for want of meat. There are
countless thousands of birds, rabbits
in enormous quantities, deer and
other game which would help to solve
the famine problem were the people
permitted to hunt for their living.
1t seems strange that the Mexicans
do not learn to snare their prey
Some time ago a news item stated
that an Indian was left in the North
woods for an entire winter without
rifle or other arms than a sheath
knife. Yet in the spring he emerged
to civilization newly clothed, well-fed
and with an abundant supply of furs
which he had secured by trapping.
The ancient race of the Mexicans
would never have let food supply
go to waste because they had neither
rifle or ammunition. Perhaps the
modern Mexican has forgotten how tt
use bow and arrow, or to make the
primitive snares his ancestors used

M'LISS SCORES PARENTS WHO

sters pronounced their words in the chok-
ing way that persons who have bad colds

I've seen SO many children like them in
clinics and in the slums They cannot
close their mouths properly; their upper
lips are thick and protruding, often show
ing the teeth. The lower jaw hangs
down in fashion that imparts stupid,
vacuous expression to faces, the features
of which in many cases are attractive.
Children so afflicted gasp their breath
through the mouth instead of through
the nostrils.
It seemed almost criminally negligent
of this mother to let her children so suffer
for medical attention and yet have time
and money to bother to dress them in
hand-embroidered Irish linens of the fin
est quality.
Physicians will tell you that adenoids
are responsible for much of the stupidity
much of the obstinacy of children. Often
a mother will deplore the fact that her
