SCORPIONS
TO BE USED IN BIG
FILM PRODUCTION

Have you pet scorpion that is fat
and lusty and is not to dignified to be
used in a moving picture to depict
the true nature of the ex-kaiser?
If you have such an animal-or in
sect-therc is opportunity for you to
dispose of it at profit.
W. A. (Snake) King has just re-
ceived notice from the Chisholm Film
Corporation Of New York City that
they desire a number of fat, healthy
scorpions to be used in a big war pic
ture they are now producing, entitled
The Sting Of the Scorpion" These
scorpions will be featured as depict
ing the kaiser, and while the compari-
son may be unjust to any self-respect-
ing Texas scorpion, yet the object of
the picture is so obviously education-
al that Mr.. King has decided TO over
rule his conscientious scruples against
treating the scorpions unjustly, and
will cndcavor to supply the film COM
pany.
The Valley has never boasted to
any extent Of ITS scorpion crop, but
occasionally some fine, vicious speci-
mems Of the insect can be found, and
any person who has one of the beasts
located would confer n favor upon
Mr.. King by sacrificing il for the
great educational work "The Sting Of
the Scorpion" is destined to accom-
plish. ~

BUSY MEETING
OF COMMISSION
HELD MONDAY
Bids for Various City Projects
Opened and Awards Made
on Several of Them.
NOPAVINC CONTRACT
Will Meet Last of Week to
Dispose Of Matter.

The city commission met Monday
afternoon for the purpose of taking
up a number of important matters
They expected TO be able to dispose
OF the paving contracts at this meet
ing, but as the contracts have not yet
been returned this matter had TO be
held up pending the receipt of the
contracts, which are expected to ar.
rive some time this week. Upon their
receipt a meeting of the commission
ers will be called and the matter dis
posed of.
One of the most important matters
to come before the commission nj this
meeting was the contract for fuel oil
for the ensuing six months. Bids were
opened from the Freeport Mexican
Oil Corporation. the Magnolia Petrol
cum Co, the Texas Company and the
Pierce Oil Corporation, the contract
being awarded to the Texas Co. The
Texas Company made a price of
S1.445 per barrel f. o. b. Brownsville,
which is % x cents lower than the
price they are now paying. As the
city is using an average of about l5,-
900 barrels of fuel oil every six
months, this will mean a saving of
approximately $4,000 to the city on
the six-months contract.
Bids for power plant material, con-
sisting of valves and fittings for the
steam lines, were opened. The lowest
bid was submitted by Crane & Co. of
Chicago, but as the plant of that COM
pany is now tied up by the labor
strikes they will not be awarded the
contract unless they guarantee sixty
day delivery. The next lowest bid
der in this contract was the Peden
Iron & Steel Company with headquar-
ters at Houston.
Bids for valves and fire hydrants
were also opened and w. H. Putegnat
& Co of Brownsville were awarded
the contract for the valves. They
would have received the contract for
the hydrants had they been able to
supply the type the city is using, but
this they were unable to do this the
contract was awarded to the Iowa
Valve Company of Dallas.
That part of the sanitary and storm
sewer which Mr.. Davis, who has the
sewer contract, has completed on
Madison and Fronton streets was ac-
cepted by the commission, the work
having been found very satisfactory
Mr.. Davis has been delayed consider
able in this work by reason Of the fact
that he had no one to operate his dig
ging and backfilling machine. How
ever, he now has the machine operat-
ing and the work is proceeding rapid.
ly and in very satisfactory manner
The proposition of beautifying the
city and the Washington Park project
were discussed, but no definite action
was taken. The curbing and sidewalk
Ground Washington Park is now in
the course of construction, and the
proposition Of improving the park viii
be taken up later.

to REDUCE HIGH COST OF
LIVING IS THE PROBLEM
NOW BEFORE GOVERNMENT
CBy The Associnted Press \

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Aug. s.
Effort of practically every depart
ment Of government to force down
the high cost Of living overshad0wed
all else at the national capitol Spe-
cial meetings of cabinet members and
other high officials will hear recon-
mendations Of special committees
which have been carefully consider
ing and planning means by which
the cost Of living may be lowered for
the average citizen. Action by the
executive branch of the government
to lower food prices is understood to
be the principal subject before the
cabinet meetin. The senate agricul-
tural committee is also in session for
the purpose Of considering the sub
ject which is today uppermost in the
minds of all national leaders.
Chairman Each of the interstate
house committee is prepared to urge
the house to take action on the bill
proposing an investigation by the fed
eral trade commission of alleged arti-
ficially Grated sugar shortage One
of the expected developments of the
day was the report of the special
committee appointed by the attorney
general and his conferees, and this
report is awaited with great interest.
No intimation has been given rs to
what solution Of the high cost Of
living problem this committee will
urge.
Attorney General Palmer os pre-
pared to make preliminary report
on the steps taken by the government
to reduce living costs, and this re-
port will be submitted to President
Wilson today. Julius Barnes, wheat
director, today called at the White
House for the purpose Of comforting
upon the proposal to restore wheat
to the free market with the govern
ment making good the difference be-
tween the market price and the guar
anteed price. Whether President Will
son goes before congress to recon-
mend steps to relieve the situation
will depend to a very great extent
upon the report made by Attorney
General Palmer, Secretary Tumulty
stated today.
