Berry Pickers
Earn SIS a Day

BOSTON, Oct. 19-Record wages
are being earned this season BY the
pickers on the cranberry Dogs in
this section It is a common thing
for mon or woman, or even boy
or girl, to make $40 a day this year
and the case in which SIS day is
made are plentiful.
Shortage of pickers is the prin-
cipal cause. The crop is a good
sized one, and as cranberries have
to be picked before the frost gets
at them, they must be gathered at
almost any cost.
AS a rule there is an influx of
hely sufficient to harvest the ber-
ries, and fast gatherer in normal
years makes from Sc to So a day.
This year the workers are able to
demand unheard-of wages, and
there is no choice but to meet the
demands.

ernment using practically all the Woo

Baggy kneed trousers will be all the
style in the near future, and knife blade
creases will be thing of the past Pinch
back coats, fancy sleeves and other 70
de rol will be only a remembrance of tho
fancy dresser. Coats and trousers will be
cut to a tightness similar to the pattern
of the days of Washington, Frdklin, et

Large gangs of men working day and
night have placed the building to be used
as soldiers club in practical readiness
for tomorrow nights opening event. The
building j. the old Nivier opera house, one
of the best equipped buildings in south
west Texas for club purposes, but one
which, through commercial use, has been
allowed to fall into disrepair.
Citizens of Brownsville who have lived
here a number of years know the splendid
acoustic facilities of the building and are
familiar with the dancing floor-said at
as. For the past 24 hours grinding ma :
chine has been working on the floor and
when the paint and wax have dried il will
be restored TO its former mirror-like
smoothness.
While the old saying that committees
seldom commit may be true in ordinary
cases. Chairman ID. L. Spero and District
Secretary III. Edward Bilkey are well
pleased with the cooperation they are re-
ceiving in planning for the opening Of the
club. Miss Bette Hopper, an expert in
the manufacture of flags, and her assist
ants in the Red Cross room have made a
set of beautiful French, British, Belgian
Greek and Italian flags to occupy places
Of honor next to the enormous American
flag kindly loaned by Colonel II. J. Slocum
to form the center pieces in the decorative
scheme.
Mrs. J. 7. Craig, chairman of the Red
Cross committee will have opened by to-
morrow night her Red Cross canteen
which will be operated for the benefit of
the Red Cross.
The program committee is today hav-
ing printed the programs that will be used.
Cards showing those eligible to the cour-
tesies of the club are also being issued.

RISE OF MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN NJ RF-
CEDIhG WITH NO DAMAGE DONE
TO LEvEES

After rapid rise, which came down
Yesterday, the Rio Grande is falling TODAY
with speed almost equal ~ that with
which it rose. The river crest went above
the four-foot mark YESTERDAY and last
night and started falling again this morn
ing.
The origin Of the rise j. something Of
mystery. II j. reported that the rise
was caused by breaking dam ON the San
Juan river Ecar Monterrey, Mexico. En-
gneers who are familiar with the Laguna
section, however. say there are no dams
on the San Juan that impound sufficient
water to cause the flood
With the exception Of slight cave-ins,
due TO new dirt that has been placed since
the last flood the city levees stood the
strain remarkably well and at no time was
n break imminent.
