Alice Streets Improved.

Alice, Tex, Aug. H. Notable
among the recent improvements in
Alice is the work now under way of
putting the principal business and resi-
dence streets in the best possible condi-
ton the towns financial condition Der-
mits. Drainage is being given first
consideration and a successful solu-
ton of that problem seems to have
been reached. With grading and top
dressing of gravel applied, oil, which
has already been contracted, will be
used on the streets to keep down dust.
The new bandstand, the new &white
way" on Main street, which is near
ing completion and the large arc light
recently placed on top of the water
works tower. and which can plainly be
seen for a distance of ten miles or
more, have caused much favorable COM
ment.

Fields White With Cotton In Rio
Grande Valley.

san BenltO, Tex, aug. 1I,-Ihe
labor shortage is still acute in this
vicinity and farmers have only small
forces in their cotton fields where
they would like. to have large ones, as
the cotton is practically all open and
is in much danger should a spell of
bad weather set in at this time.
Ever since Monday noon cotton has
been brought to the gins in fairly good
quantities but with sufficient pickers
the season of 1923 would all be over
by closing time on Saturday night.
The prices paid the growers has ad-
vanced to % cents pound here which
has made the growers as well as all
others feel good.

Although certain small stills used

Lesh says there can be no prosecu-

possession Of a still nto used for un.
lawful purposes, but says failure to
register any such still with the Gov
