Cards Land Pitcher.

The St Louis Nations have a
pitcher who is being given a lot of
work by Hickey. His name is Bare
foot and he threw curves for Hous-
ton. Texas, in 1921, winning %
games and losing 13. His earned
run record was not so good but
those who were sent to spy out the
land last season always had IA
vorable word to say about Bare
foot until they found that they
could not get him and then they
kept their peace. Hickey had him
in against Cleveland at Dallas the
other day and he was not a bit
afraid of the Indians. They had
quite a time trying to reach his
curves.

MeXia, Tex, Jan. 19.-Overnight a 1 tented city arose. From an appar- ently sleepy little town of 5000 pop uIation in October, 1921. where old settlers farmed for a living and eked out bare existence from their lands; where they rode cow horses to town and hitched them to a hitch Ing post and where even the town hail bell had not tolled for years be- cause of the cob webs and bird nests-to a bustling city of 30000 people, and all in few months, this IS the recent record of Mexia, an old time Texas town, which is feeling the effects of one of the numerous oil developments in the southwest.
 The population now consists of an assortment of oil field followers and thousands of men and women seek ing employment, leaving an old field for the new, coming on trains from all parts of the United States, or in wagons, trucks or horseback" some bringing their assortment of house. hold goods and camping outfits and finding from ten to hundred men for every job, and no place available fon. spending the night.
 Consequently because of the exhor- bitant prices charged for room, if one were lucky enough to secure one, hundreds of men, favored by the long-continued mild winter are sleep ing on the grass along railroad tracks, public parking places and, in fact, any where they could. Over night bed in tent marked "a place to tiop' scared from 50 cents a night to $3. A night in a crude plank structure where one didn't know his bed-fellow or the hundreds of others in the single room cost $5. Prices charged the few who were lucky | enough to get in one of the few pri- vate dwellings vary, but all were high enough to satisfy the most fastidi- ous millionaire. But men are glad to get bed at any price and many could not find shelter except that provided by nature.
 Rail traffic jumped hundreds of per cent. There are two trunk lines, the Houston & Texas Central and the Trinity and Brazos Valley leading through here and passenger traffic is very heavy while freight trains
The log cabin Democrat., 1922-01-19

are frequently seen running three
 abreast, so heavy is the demand for
 oil machinery One road is said to
 have spent $60O,000 in enlarging its
 facilities.
 The water situation is not alto
 gether what could be desired. The
 water was procured from a spring a ! short distance from town, and al
 though good water, it was nearly as
 high in price as gasoline. Some oil
 man, however, came along and drilled 1 an oil well right side by side with
 the spring, tapping" the water sup ply so badly that lately it has been
 entirely stopped. Water wagons
 have been requisitioned and although they are busy all day and night haul ing water to homes, restaurants and improvised a"bunking" houses, they are not sufficient to cover the field.
 Consequently the town has been de clared 'very unsanitary' by citizens in heated arguments at the meetings of the city council, which is making every offort to remedy the situation. Mayor Riddle informed the irate citi- zens that this "eould not be done over night"
 Getting a bath here is quite an ex- perience, if indeed not a task The old saying If you want to do some thing big-wash an elephant" cer- tainly has found parallel in Mexia. This luxury may be found outside the woodland creeks, only in a down. town barbershop. The bath house is a stall in wooden floored, planked- in enclosure. Just plain pine blanks are slippery, but the proprietors of the house have found that it is not necessary to maintain first aid kits because the board floors are warped enough to allow the bather a foot hold. Cleanliness, after all, is next to godliness," but a bath in Mexia is next to impossible.
 But as for oil, there are a solid six miles of new derricks, drilers out fits, tents, wooden buildings and peo- pie where once there was an open prairie. A survey of all local lum- per men shows that building con- oleted or contracted for since October [, totals between S3500,00O and S5,- 100000.
 Prior to the establishment of mar -ial law gambling and drinking halls filled with dancing girls were open every night, and one could buy open y red" and "corn" whiskey at 50 cents a drink The Winter Garden was the most flourishing of these. Here it is said fortunes have been lost overnight at the dice and roul- cite tables.

ROBBERS P|LLACf ANOTHER GROCERY STEAL CIGARETTES, GUM Norw ood's Burglarized Frequently Last Year-Thief Drove One
 Horse Wagon.

Cigarettes and chewing gum val
 ued at about $20O make up the loot
 taken from the Mode X Clayton wholesale grocery on North Front street last night. How much proper
 ty of the firm was stolen could not
 be determined, but W. B. Clayton, one of it's members is certain the stolen property will equal $2oO in val ue.
 Entry to the store was forced through the rear door, the thief or thieves using an iron wedge, presum- ably a piece of automobile spring, which he inserted between the door and it's easing and forced off the hasp holding it. His plunder was hauled off in one-horse wagon, the trail which was plainly visible from the rear of the store to North street, thence south along Railroad avenue to West Oak street, where the wheel and hoof marks were lost on the pave ment. Foot prints were also plainly visible this morning in the soft mud to the rear of the store
 John A. Mode of the firm is pos itive he could identify by the hoof marks the animal hitched to the wagon. One shoe was slightly worn and another brand new.
 One cartoon of Clown and Camel with box of ''lunch bars" thrown in for refreshment was as- sembled by the thief or thieves, but was abandoned and left standing in the doorway. Cigarettes stolen from the store were placed on a deck on the north side of the building. Light from the white way lights on that corner provide sufficient illumination for a man to bc&certain of what he is taking atEjss poInt, and aided the culprits in seleFtn,g what they want ed. Camels comprised the bulk of the cigarettes taken. Chesterfields are plainly visible from the floor by the name on the cartons, but they were passed up, since nothing else will do"
 The store of the Norwood Whole sale Grocer Company, which adjourns
 the Mode & Clayton on the south, was entered and robbed about five times in 1921, it was said today, but
 has not been touched this year.
 PlUnkett- -Jarrell's on the same street, was entered January 13, and about $250 worth of cigarettes stolen. At the Nowood store it is thought
 the thefts have been by small boys and one entry is known to have been forced by amatuer criminals of this age The store was entered one Sun day and the culprits caught, but es- capped while phone call was being made to Leslie Grafton, the manager. The boys had piled up seven cartons
 of cigarettes on the roof for removal
 to their own warehouses. The quan- titles of the goods held in the Nor
 wood store do not make it possible
 to determine the extent of the thefts. Capture of the thief or thieves
 who entered the Mode & Clayton store appears more likely than of i those responsible for the Plunkett-
 farrell theft. From evidences left
 at and near the store, it is certain
 the stolen property was carted away
 in a one horse wagon, which is re- inforced by the hoof marks of the an- imal and the man.

TROUT EGGS RECEIVED
By the Three State Hatcheries-On,
Lot Was Poor.

Trout eggs for Matching are being
received at the three state hatcheries
at Roxbury, Canaan and Bennington
and are being placed in troughs to
hatch out for planting next spring.
One shipment received at Remington
was in poor condition, with a number
of dead eggs, which were culled out.
The state fsh and game depart
ment's policy in stocking next spring
will be TO supply first the state breed
ing streams and ponds, second to as
sist sportsmen's organizations in stock
ing, and finally to sell fry to owners of
private preserves who wish TO stock
streams.
During the past summer, an attempt
was made to secure bass fry, for stock
ing, but II was found to be impossible.
as all the commercial hatcheries were
sold out The same was found to be
the case In regard to brown trout.
