The village is built upon the Mexican plan and it is typical of the old world. Only the presence of a hand to a naval radio station give it. the appearance of really belonging to the United States.
 Without a Bathtub.
 Primitive indeed is the village now There is not a bathtub in the entire village. There is one lone telephone line which connects it with the outer world, and telegraph facilities are nil.
 For recreation the people of Point Isabel sit upon the porches of their little shacks all day long in the sun. On rare occasions there is a dance, and the Mexican boys, with gaily col ored scarfs about their swarthy threats, dance the old-fashioned dances with the greatest of decorum with dark-skinned but pretti1y fea- tnred Mexican girls.
 .Burros, pigs and cattle roam the village square at, will. Doors are never locker. The hoosegrow can be moved by any two normal men. There is one general store, and the post office boasts of two lock boxes.
 All of this~is now ready to give way to the march of progress, and historic and quaint old Point Isabel in another year will be a thriving port, pouring out to the world, huge supplies of cotton, fruit, vegetab bIes and cattle from the Rio Grande Valley.

Over Million and Half
 In Christmas Tree Crop

Boston, Dec. 7-(By the A. PA Christmas tree crop of more than a million and half of evergreen trees, spruce, fir and hemlock, has been cut in the forests and pastures of New England for the approaching holiday observance. The crop is the largest ever cut. s#
 r-1The move<nent to market of the Christmas trees, some still spangled with the snow of northern country sides, is underway.
 From the forests of Maine 600,000 trees have been taken. In Vermont is estimated about 300,000 were felled and the reports of the state forester of New Hampshire show a. shipment of approximately 500,0O0. The southern section of New Eng land cuts much less, the crop from the Berkshires in Massachusetts be- ing probably about 150,000 and in Rhode Island and Connecticut com bined about 25.000.
 On the stump these have been sold by the farmer or woodland owner. for ? few cents each, large lots selling at %25 to $30 a thousand. Smaller num- bers, usually taken from pastures where the trees attain more shapely growth, bringing as high as 50 cents each in some instances. Prices to the grower have been generally higher this year than last. They rep resent only a small part of the cost

to the Christmas consumer, however, who will pay between $1 and s2 each for the average tree. A statement on the Christmas tree industry prepared by the New Hampshire forestry de- partment for The Associated Press asserts that "it is not fair to the farmer to give him only a few cents for trees which may bring several dollars when sold at retail in the cities.''
 The department regards the Christ mas tree industry as legitimate and says it is not objectionable if the land owner receives a fair value for his trees and the cutting is scattred and confined to the right size of trees.
 It is a long haul to some of the markets for trees cut in the forests of the north country. Trees are en- route a fortnight or more and in a time of car scarcity the railroads have had to defect from the coal and pulp wood traffic hundreds of cars to meet the demands of Christmas sentiment.
 From New England the cut of more than million and a half of trees goes to Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Philadelphia. New York, Cleveland and other points as far west as the Mississippi.
 From the little town of East Fair field, Vt, alone 30,000 trees are being shipped to points in Pennsylvania Ohio and Illinois.

Middle Class
 Of Germany Is
 Suffering Most
Incomes Cannot Keep Pace With Rapid Rise of
 Prices

Paris, Dec. 7-Something of the seriousness of Germany's economic condition, from a French viewpoint is told by Jean Herbette, foreign edi- tor of Le Temps, now studying the situation in Germany.
 Members of the middle class, whose stationary incomes spell poverty in the rise of prices and the workers, are said by him to 'be particularly unhappy" Fortunately, he adds farmers are prosperous.
 There is cruel misery he writes, ''in the homes of workers who have many children. This condition is not limited to families of the unem- ployed, of whom there are 10000 in Germany. u is characteristic of the present crisis that workman cannot manage to feed and clothe his fam fly, even when he works at relatively high wages.
 ''I have been in homes where the | father got 200 to 25O marks a week. dren, it is Restitution. To buy bread, fats and potatoes, even in insufficient quantities, he must spend. so marks a week or more. Rent, gas and a | little coal absorb part of the re- mainder. How can the family be clothed and shod Even a poor suit costs 1,500 marks, a pair of shoes 150 to 200 marks. Linen has become al most unattainable luxury"
 | In Berlin, M. Herbette visited mod ! est homes with welfare workers. eve saw he says, ''in the homes of hard working people who did not ask aid, | pallet-beds and rags, so miserable
 that my companion could hardly be 1ieve his eyes. There are children | three and four years old that their mothers carry in their arms, actual l ly wrapped in rags when they go out, l because they have no clothes. One | hears little complaint, however. The l habit Of privation produces sort of torpor and no one seems concerned
 ecept wit finding a little something to eat.''
 In these conditions, he concludes, ] unhealthy propaganda has free play" but there is nothing incurable | in them and there must be found
 some policy to meet the needs fo1 ''the interests of peace are the inter
 eStS of France.''

POINT ISABEL TO BE BUSY PORT

Point Isabel. Tex, Dec. 6-This sleepy little fishing village, which slumbered on in oblivion until the visit of President-elect Harding brought it into worldwide attentiBn, is today awakening and holds forth promises of being one of the busiest ports on the southern coasts of the United States. .-
 Point Isabel, for more than a cen tury only a collection of small Mexi- can fishing shacks, is slated to be- come the port of the entire Rio Grande Valley. The Government has appropriated money to open a chan mel from this little port to the Gulf of Mexico, and the public-spirited citizens of the Rio Grande Valley have raised sufficient money to change the Brownsville-Point Isabel narrow gauge railroad into stan dard gauge road.
 Millions of dollars of products from the Rio Grande Valley will flow out to the world from this tiny little yiI- lage. and already plans are being made for the establishment of a huge | warehouse here.
 Point Isabel up to this time has been known locally only, and it's population. almost entirely Mexican, | has devoted it's entire time to fishing. when the population chose to work.

TROOPS STIR UP ILL FEELING

Peking, Dec. 6.-The fact that Jap anese authorities sent troops to the. frontier town of Hungehun, in Chinese territory, for the announced purpose of protecting Japanese subjects, after the town had been rafded tDy bandits, appears to have raised a serious con- troversy between the foreign minis
 tries of the countries in question, and incidentally to have reopened an
 old controversy concerning an adJa>
 cent territory known as Chientao.
 (Hungchun is a Chinese town on the
 Tumen river at a. point where the
 time province of Siberia meet. It
 is about sixty miles south of Vlad1vo-
 stok.)
 The Chinese press accuses the. Jap- anese of being actuated by an uHerior motive in the course they haYes pur- sued. .Lenox Simpson, statistical to the president of China, has point ed out that it is significant that such atta cks by Chinese bandits are all | ways attempted where Japan wishes l to set up garrisons. ; Early in October a band of O ut | laws which is said to have numbered | several thousand. and to have been | well supplied with modern rifles and machine guns, entered Hungchun, l killed a number of people, including, 1 it is said, several Japanese, and burn | ed the Japanese consulate. After the raid, and in the face, it is said, od an impending 'Tepet1t1on or tne= out
 rage the Japanese moved troops into l the place and incidentally into the i adjacent territory of :Chientao.
 1 In the course of diplomatic ex- | changes over the situation it appears
 that the Toklo foreign office assu med 1 that Picking had: agreed to. "co-op- | eration'' by Japanese troops whereas l the Chinese foreign ministry allege: that, the Invasion having already oc-
 cured when the question of coop
 eration was first. discussed. it's atti- | tude was one of protest.

NO BOLSHEVISM
 IN LITHUANIA


 London, Dec 4-Bo1shevism has never gained a foothold in Lithuania, says Dr. Joseph Purycl1is, the Lith- uanian Minister for Foreign Affairs, who has arrived here to plead his country'S cause before the British government. Various attempts, he said, have been made to introduce it there by Russian emissaries, but he declared there was no truth in ru- mors that a pro-bolshevis dictator ship was contemplated in the new country on the Baltic.
 "In my country there is not even a Communist party" said Dr. Puryckis. "Of the 112 members of our National Assembly, 59 are Christian Demo- crats; 29 belong to the Farmers Union; IS are socialists, of a mod carte type; six are Jews and three may be described as friendly to Po- land, although they, are adverse to a union of L1thuania with that coun- try.''

 Hope tFfillyer is the owner of a ranch in Texas in the Rio Grande. An unpfdncipled land grabber, assist ed by the woman whom Hopes fath- CT had 4soffended years before, tries to get this away from her. With the assistance of a cowboy soldier,

 As Hope, or "Blue Bonnet" as she

 never had better opportunity to dis play heE versatile talents, and to say that she takes advantage of them splendidly would be putting it mildly.
 Her dramatic expression is full of the right sort of life, and the comedy parts are carried off with nicety

WONEN'S 1920 STYLES
 RECEIVE TANNING

Guernsey, Wyo., Dec. 4.-The Wy oming W. c. T. L. is on record with a sweeping condemnation of present. day dress for women :.
 DiSapprova1 of modern styles in women's clothing was expressed in resolutions adopted at the twenty seventh annual state convention of the organization held here.
 The short skirts, silk stockings and diaphanous gowns were declared to be immoral influences" and a rec ommendation was made for uniform dresses for high school girls.
 The cigaretta-shabit was scored in another resolution, and the organiza- ton pledged it's support to. the bet ter enforcement of the eighteenth amendment.
 Boys and girls in both grade and high schools, one resolution set forth, should have deans to instruct, advise and correct their morals and dress.
 It was also emphasized that chap erones at all high school social af- fairs were absolutely essential.
