XlIith Our
VI Correspondents.

In our suggestion to cores
pondents we say-"be careful
with proper Names" The why
is there isn't any possible guide
to what the word might be. In
q sentence the meaning is often
or generally a key to any partic.
ular word. but no such guide to
a proper name.
If the name is new. or odd or
strange-hard to spell or to pro-
nounce-write it as plain as
print~-at least until we get used
to it.
The why we want letters Satur.
day when possible is to avoid
their being crowded out. Sat.
urdays and Mondays a lot of
type goes up in this office-hence
the necessity of letters.
Carrizo is very uncertain as to
location. The first Carrizo was
on the fats east of the Potatoo
Buttes. Then Carrizo Springs
started up. we believe a little
south of the present Estelene,
and then the Carrizo posto ffice
was established something like
fiv. or six miles south of Carrizo
Springs. ~
Will our correspondent down
there please tell US which of the
Carrizos is embraced in her ter
ritory?
Each of these Carrizos has a
wonderful history back of it.
The primitive Cara;zo CT nldn't
get any water--cause the wells
were all dug in those days and
couldn't 60 deep enough.
Then Carrizo Springs was
started down on Carrizo creek,
and a great city was builded of
sone-on stone foundation.
About the time Carrizo Springs
was breathing it's last, or a short
time after it quit breathing, the
great Carrizo copper mines wera
discovered. and a great mining
boom was started. Regular
mines were laid out, and certain
industrious ones went to burrow.
ing to beat the band.
There was no question of the
fabulousness Of the wealth there.
under, and therearound. and
among other things a newspaper
was started to disseminate the
good news, the same being the
Carrizo Minor, with Dec Emer-
son at the bat.
We believe about the last ore
from the Carrizo mines passed
through Spring field about six
years ago. the boys claiming they
could earn about $1,000 day at
it.

Story That De Valera
Gambled With Money

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-To anti
Irish republic propaganda is attribut-
ed a wild-eyed story concerning
canon De Valera which Is believed
to have achieved considerable circu-
lation on both sides OF the Atlantic,
and which, upon being run down, is
discovered to be a hoax built out
of the whole cloth.
The story is that a Col. George w.
Hunter, Of the British intelligence
service. in New York, discovered that
De Valera had appropriated 10 his
own use for investment In a Mexican
oil venture S750,000 from the Irish
Republican bond fund collected here.

tale, carried on an investigation, pin
ned the guilt to De Valera, had the
Irish president brought before Dis
trict Attorney Swami, in whose Of

whiskey. wines and other liquors
in quantity-began pouring In upon
American soil today from foreign
sources.
The liquors are entering through
American ports for consignees in other
countries in very large volume, ac-
cording to the Treasury today. The
liquor shipments are made possible
by the Treasury's action in lifting
the ban upon so-called in transit
liquors" Secretary Mellon directed col
iectors of customs today not to inter.

being shipped by foreign concerns to
other foreign destinations.
Movements of enormous stocks OF
liquors across the Canadian border,

II is designed for consignees In some
bther foreign country.
The decision OF the Treasury, sus-
pending regulations which had prohib-
tied such shipments grew out of con.
sideration given the foreign liquor
problem, and the status Of foreign
ships with liquors aboard at a recent
meeting OF the President and his cab
met.
The Administration has needed the

There was also presented to the Ad.

at is something in a case OF this
kind to have faith that justice will be

seek a verdict that he deserved to die.
Too often such a verdict IL rendered
and vote of thanks is given to a
murderess on evidence that would
not hang a dog.
"In many cases, with the poor
dead victim unable TO defend his

This Is a simple case Of cold
