BOIL WEEVIL POISON
WAS BELOW STANDARD;
is SEIZED BY OFFICERS

Thirty-four kegs Of dry powdered
arsenate of calcium has been seized
by Deputy u. S. Marshall 4. l.. Reed
at various points in the Valley with
in the past week, the poison being
seized because it was found below the
standard prescribed by law. Fifteen
kegs were seized near San Benito.
fuorteen at Raymondville and five
near Mission. This makes 165 kegs
of the poison the government has re-
Gently seized and now has in its pos
session here, awaiting proceedings.
This poison Is used by the farmers
for the poisoning of the boil weevil,
but If the poison il not up to the GER
tain standard it is almost wholly in
effective, and the farmers time and
money Is expended without results.
A large amount of this poison had
been shipped to the up-Valley towns
by northern wholesale drug firm,
and ii is believed the entire shipment
was practically worthless for the pur-
pose for which it was intended.

fruit, tangcrines and lemons ever
seen any place. This il destined to
become a great citrus fruit country,
and the new port opens new and
profitable market for all we can pro-
duce.
The fact that the government con-
sidered this harbor project is assur-
ance that we will get further assist
ance in other projects for improve
ments in the Valley as needed.
No other known spot in the world
has developed as has the Magic Val
ley, and we are yet in our infancy.
Men who spent years in California
say that this Valley is so far ahead of
California that there is no comparison
between the two. Mr. Woodstock
spent seventeen years in California
and he has been here three years. He
says he has seen greater development
here in the three years than he saw
in the seventeen years in California.
Now is the opportune time for San
Antonio to get busy on that proposed
railroad from the Valley to that city,
and thereby open up a vast amount
Of territory from which the Alamo
City is getting practically nothing.

THAT WHITE CLOTH
CIRCLE is NOT USED
FOR FAIRY DANCES

There has been much speculation
as to the reason for placing that white
cloth circle with a black center near
the band stand ut Fort Brown, and
many suggestions have been made as
to the purpose for which it is utilized,
one small youngster expressing the
opinion that it was place for the
fairies to dance when the band play
ed.
That white circle is the ''post-of-
flee" Of the border aerial patrol, and
it is performing its functions in a
very satisfactory manner. Browns
vile has no place for the large bat
tie planes which are on patrol duty
TO make a landing, and as a result
when they have reports to make to
Colonel Sayre they make them
through the medium Of the "post-of-
flee. The "post-office" is really a
target for the aviators, and their sin
telligence bombs" containing their re-
ports are aimed at-and generally
either strike it or fall within a few
feet Of it. Hardly day passes with
out the post-office" being utilized
by the airmen on the border patrol.

CORPUS CHRISTI SUMMER
NORMAL WILL CLOSE ITS
SESSIONS COMING WEEK

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Aug. 16.
Seventy applicants have filed appli-
cations to take the closing examina-
tions for teachers certificates to be
conducted by the South Texas Sum-
mer normal on Monday next.
Returns are beginning to come in
from Austin from the first examina-
tions conducted under the auspices
of the normal and for the most part
the returns are gratifying, showing
that the normal students made very
satisfactory averages.
There is great demand for teach
ers just now and those successful in
passing the examinations will readily
find positions.
The South Texas Normal which is
rapidly drawing to q close Of the ten
weeks term has been great success.
The total enrolment reaches 1913,
making this one Of the largest nor
mails of the state. Out Of this total
of 12S there are two lonely repre-
sentatives of the male sex.

OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
TO AVERT EXPECTED
TEACHER SHORTAGE

All persons in Cameron county who
desire to take up educational work
are requested to attend the teachers
examination to be held at the office
of County Superintendent Jourdan
September and 6. There can be
no doubt Of shortage Of teachers in
the schools of the county," stated
Prof. Jourdan, land / sincerely hope
it can be averted. The only way it
can be done is to secure more teach
ers from among those who are COM
petent to take up this work, and
hope that all who contemplate enter
ing educational work will attend this
examination which is to be for all
grades of certificates.
Most of the towns in the county
have secured their full corps of teach
ers, but there still remain number
of good openings. In the rural dis
tricts it has been reported that less
than fifty per cent of the schools
have contracted for teachers, and this
condition must be remedied within the
next two or three weeks.

WANTEDFORMER
EMPEROR BACK
ON The JOB

PARIS, Aug. 16.-Dignitaries Of
the former Austrian regime have re-
terated their request that former En-
peror Charles assume an active part
in the affairs of Austria, according
to a Zurich dispatch. The former
was sounded on the subject
before Archduke Joseph assumed
control of Budapest. After a long
conference Emperor Charles showed
great reluctance to accept the pro
posal. The former empress, who was
present, spoke abruptly for her hus-
band and ended the conference by
stating that a return to the old condi-
tions would be impossible.

DESIRELONCER
LANDING FIELD
AT this POINT

Colonel Farrand Sayre, commander
Of the Brownsville district, returned
to Fort Brown yesterday from Me-
Allen, where he had inspected the
camp and aviation field at that place.
There are. now eight planes in the
service of the aerial border patrol of
this district, seven of them being
large battle planes of the DH-4 type,
and three more are expected in few
days, together with two small planes
Of the Curtiss type. An ideal avia-
tion field Is being constructed at Nc
Allen, which will be amply sufficient
for the future growth Of the border
patrol.
The planes are now patrolling the
border in this district from the Gulf
to Roma, making daily trips The
matter of making landings at Browns
vile was taken up, and it developed
that no suitable landing place had
been constructed here for the large
battle planes. These planes require
at least 400 yards in which to effect
q landing without danger to the ma
chimes, and while the present landing
site at Brownsville is amply sufficient
for the smaller type of planes, it will
not answer the purpose for the larg-
er battle planes.
The securing Of an extension of the
present landing site was taken up to-
day by City. Manager Anderson, and
it is proposed that if the extension
cannot be secured on the site of the
old Thirty-sixth Infantry camp, it car
be secured at the old Iowa camp near
Victoria addition. 1t is hoped to
have the landing place for the big
planes completed in the near future
thereby giving all the border patrol
aviators an opportunity to land here
when it is necessary to make reports

U. S. WILL NOT
REPLY TONOTE
FROM CARRANzA

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 16.-
No answer to the reply Of the Mexi-
can government to the state depart
ment's warning that failure TO pro-
tect Americans might result in a radi-
cal change of policy, will be made.
Officials explained today that the
United States would wait until Presi-
dent Carranza displayed either his
willingness or inability to afford
Americans the protection they had a
right to expect before taking further
action.
The Carranza government by spe-
ciaI provision has been receiving arms
and ammunition from the United
States, but it was indicated today that
the decree forbidding expectation Of
war munitions to Mexico would be
applied to the government as well as
to individuals until further proof had
been given that foreigners would re-
ceive adequate protection.

PREPARING TO
SOLVE PROBLEM

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Aug. Is.
With the last of the thousands of
shopmen, who have been on strike
since August I, preparing to return
to work today, the railroad admin
istration is prepared to consider the
mems demand for increased wages.
President Wilson. in his address,
frankly told the strikers their diff
culties could not be adjusted while
they maintained their strike, and
their return to work would be nec-
essary before satisfactory adjust
ment could be made by the rail-
road administration.
