The bally old London fog of yesterday
did not quite cause the Hon. Roderick
j. Kennedy, the eminent leader or the
Only Official County Board OF the An

homesick but rousing cheers for silly old
England. but 1t did have wonderfully
soothing effect on Roddy

Roddy during duh moment OF the
afternoon in Justice Dan Cohalan's chaHr
bers-Roddy Is the Judges doorman on

clusively to parading-and asked tho
eminent Hibernan what preparations
had been made for the annual injunc-
tons and other court proceedings for
Seventeenth OF Ireland parade permit
Roddy flsbbergasted the reporter by an
swering jovially that there was nothing
but absolute harmony In the prepara-
lions for the parade OF March II. 1919.

For a moment Roddy did not answer.

NOT MUCH DANGER OF
SERIOUS SHORTAGE is
WHOLESALERS REPORT

The rumor that the entire south
west would soon be facing a sugar
famine is not given much credence by
local wholesale groCers. II is true
there may he q shortage later on, un-
less conditions readjust themselves
promptly in the big sugar markets,
but nothing like sugar famine is
anticipated.
Sugar stocks are low and the sugar
factories are from thirty to sixty days
behind on their orders. Tying up of
transportation facilities, which would
prevent the distribution of stocks
from the big centcrs and factories
would augment the shortage. Il
would be advisable for people TO be
as saving Of the sugar supply as
possible in order that serious short
ace may be averted in the event OF
transportation difficulties.

EXPECTING TO
CLOSE WORKO
CHANNEL
Twenty Brownsville Men Are
Securing the City Today
For Subscriptions.
LIST TO Be PUBLISHED
Complete List of Subscrip-
tions in Sunday Herald.

Twenty Of Brownsville's best hust-
lers are securing the city today for
subscriptions to the channel fund,
and the money rs coming in steadily.
A spirit of greater optimism than has
been evidenced for several days was
noticeable this morning, and the COM
mittees' work was shown by the large
number of checks which were turned
in. Very few have failed to do their
part in making up the deficit, and
those whose subscriptions were in
creased have come up TO the commit
tees figures practically without pro-
test. The committee has equalized
the amount to be subscribed as equit-
ably as possible, and almost without
exception those who have been re-
quested to increase the amounts of
their subscriptions have done so.
The committee is confident that If
the citizens of Brownsville continue
to respond to the efforts of the work
ers the channel fund can be closed to-
morrow, and by tomorrow evening the
government can be informed that the
money is available.
At the request of The Herald the
committee has agreed to furnish the
complete list of Brownsville sub
scribers for publication in the Sunday
morning edition, and the list of sub
scribers in the other Valley towns
will be published as soon as avail
able, which will probably be the first
of next week.

CRANDE
AGAIN RISING
AT MERCEDES

Reports from Mercedes received at
the signal station at Fort Brown were
to the effect that the Rio Grande has
risen five inches at Mercedes, and
gauges here show rise Of approx
mately an inch and half. The river
had dropped approximately four inch
es from the highest stage, and is now
about three inches below the high
mark attained last week.
Reports from up the river state
shat at Ringgold the river is only four
feet above normal; at Sam Fordyce it
is five feet above nomral. At both
these points the water is falling stead
lily, which gives the assurance that no
dangerous increase in the high stage
may be epected
