TO REHABILITATE OLD
POINT ISABEL HARBOR
James Stillman, Financier,
Born Near There, Still Runs
His Primitive Ferry.

POINT ISABEL Tex. Nov. H.
The Rio Grande Railroad plans to re-
habilitate the harbor of Point Isabel.
1t will build "A wharf 1900 feet long.
Big steamboats, will be able to load and
unload at the pier.
For several years following the
Civil War, Point Isabel was the deep
water port for a large area of Mexico
and Texas. The Rio Grande Rail
road was built by a syndicate of
Spaniards in 1864, 1t is twenty-five
miles long and runs between Point
Isabel and Brownsville, The locomo-
tives and cars were built in Spain ana
were of the most foreign primitive
type. Some of this original equipment
is still in use upon the road. The line
was operated under the Spanish sys-
tenn of railroading and even the or
ders and correspondence of the COM
pany were in Spanish
1t was during the period that there
was u large traffic through Point Isa-
bel and over the Rio Grande Railroad
that james StiIman, the New York
financier. operated Il primitive ferry
across the Rio Grande, connecting
Brownsville and Matamoros. This
ferry was established some years pri-
or to the Civil War by Charles Still
man father of James Stillman.
James Stillman was born In
Brownsville. where his father made
the nucleus of his fortune as a cotton
factor. This ferry across the Rio
Grande is still operated and owned by
James Stillman. 1t is of the same pri-
influences that it was in its beginning.
The boats are manned by strong Mex
lean oarsmen who ply their open flat
bottom craft from shore to shore at
regular intervals throughout the day
and late into the night.
The Rio Grande Railroad passed
out of the hands of its Spanish overs
several years ago. Plans are now
under consideration for rebuilding the
line and possibly converting it into
electric transit.

FOWLS GIVEN NO ATTENTION
On Great Many Farms Chickens Must
Rustic for Themseives-Hen 10 ~
Not Properly Fed.

Farmers, as a class, are failures al
poultry raisers, in spite Of the fact
that large portion Of our poultry
and eggs come from the farms. On
nine out of ten farms poultry must
either rustic or partially starve. and
often both. &.
s. A great many farmers pay 50 little
attention to feeding their poultry be-,
cause they look upon it as only q;
side line to save waste and not as q.
profitable department of their busi-
ness. They will not give the hens tho!
benefit of test as to the returns they
will give for the same care in feed
ing and housing that the other live
stock on the farm gets. The cows and
horses will have their needs studied
closely and nothing is left undone that
will give them q chance to Do better
but the hen must produce, the best re-
suits she can with no attention paid to
her needs at all.

RETURN EMPTY CASES
Many Containers Are Made in
"Knocked- Down. Style.
When Returned Postage on Those Still
in UsabIe Condition 10 Less Than
Cost Of New ones-Consumer
10 Interested,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.) ...s
Many shippers will doubtless find it
desirable and economical to have the
customer save the containers, and re-
turn them after a sufficient number
have accumulated. When SO. returned
the postage in empty cases still in u.s.
able condition is less than the cost Of
new ones. The customer should re-
ceive credit for the postage required
to return them. Many of the contain
ers are made in "knocked-down" style,
/. e., to take apart and fold SO they
can be made into a much smaller pack
age or parcel. Containers which are
knocked down to be returned should
be packed in such a way that there
will be no edges or points projecting
without support or protection, as such
projections are likely to be broken or
crushed in the mails.
The cost of the container is neces-
sarily included in the price Of the eggs
to the consumer. 1t is therefore to
the interest of the consumer to take
proper care of containers and to save
for return all that are in disable con-
dition. Since the return of containers
will have some effect on the price Of
the, eggs, the proper spirit Of thrift
should cause the consumer to take care
Of all returnable empties and to send
them back in accordance with what
ever agreement or understanding may
exist between the producer and him
self.

When an. egg becomes stale, the con-

AND IT WASN'T SO

Levang's Weekly: The other day in
conversation with another, it CHANGED
that the discussion of the personal char

subject Of the talk. Now it happened
that the listener knew the habits and per-
who was the subject of discussion. AS
he listened to what the speaker was tell
ing about this fellow being, statement
was made which the listener knew was
positively untrue. Very quickly, In a
kind but firm manner, the listener said:
II know that what you are telling me
is not so. I know the home life Of this
person, and know positively that this
statement is not true
The speaker, however. had heard some
body else make the statement. There is no
doubt about that, but that did not make
it true. And the other person may have
heard another somebody else" say 1t,
and still that did not make it true. In
other words, q falsehood does not finally

always will be falsehood. The person
who thus carelessly drops his or her
little opinion about another fellow be-
