FLOODS in CANYONS
PUT STREAMS UP TO
HIGH WATER POINTS
Carcasses of Animals Float
Down Turbulent
Torrents.

Uvalde, Tex.,. Sept. 22.-Continue1
heavy rains in both the Frio and
Nueces canyons the past week have
brought both of these streams down
on large rises.
In the FriO canyon some damage
was reported to livestock, one man
having reported the loss of about 40O
muttons. The telephone lines were
also destroyed.
In the Nueces canyon at Camp
Wood the river rose higher than it
has been since 1865, according to old
settlers in that community. Great
property damage was also reported
from this section.
The water rose in several houses
in Camp Wood and in Barksdale COM
munity one large house was washed
across street, two houses were COM
pletely demolished and a number of
smaller buildings were completely
swept away by the rushing water.
Communication with the towns in
that section is almost completely cut
off, the telephone lines all being down.
Great loss is reported among cattle,
horses, goats, hogs and poultry.
The carcasses of many animals were
seen floating by here when the river
was at its highest. 1t is expected that
it will be several days before these
streams can be crossed, as practically
all concrete crossings have been wash
ed out.
On the Frio river, on the Sabinal-
Leakey road three crossings were
swept away. A new crossing at
Barksdale on the Nueces was also
washed out and a quantity of road
building machinery was also lost.
The Uvalde & Northern Railway,
to the north of here. and the San
Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf road, to the
south, both suffered damage to their
tracks by high water.
At Landrum cut on the Uvalde <
Northern, the track has been under
mined and was found hanging over
the river.
The highest bridge on the road at
Sycamore was also damaged, one end
being washed out.
Other bridges and embankments
were also damaged and 1T is expected
that it will be some. time before the
road can be put back into shape. The
approach to the s. A. U. & G. bridge
at Pulliam was washed out Tuesday
night and train service was suspended
for some time.
A great amount of damage has also
ben done on both of these rivers in
the lowlands to the crops.
Not until communication can be re-
stored with all the towns in the
Nueces canyon, can the full extent of
the damage done. be ascertained.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 22.-Shang-
haied aboard a rum-runner for nine
teen days and put ashore at Cardiff,
Wales, Archie Poston has returned
home alive and well to tell the story, a
tale of hardship and const-n- fear.
Eighteen years old and an honor
student in the February graduating
class at Central High School, young
Poston sailed from Galveston July 10
on an American vessel for Liverpool,
intending to take the competitive pre-
medical examinations at Oxford Uni
versity. He was to work his passage
by doing clerical work.
At the port of New Providence, Brit
ish Bahamas, Poston's adventuresome
nature asserted itself and unsuspect-
ingly he walked into the trdp-it set
for him. A sailor called Slim, with
whom he had formed an acquaintance
on board ship. offered to show him the
hull of a pirate ship on the reefs.
Archie went. After viewing the
ribs of the reputed buccaneer he was
induced by his companion. to board a
strange black craft lying at the docks
on the chance of meeting and talking
to real rum runners.
In the security of Sims company,
Archie even made bold to go aft to
the forecastle. Here he was slightly
surprised to find that his companion
was on speaking terms with the men.
The conversation was hushed and he
got very little of it.

Berlin, Sept. 22.-In a general price
panic the shops here have gone on a
gold basis, bringing prices above the
leach of the great mass of Germans.
AS a result two starving mobs, the
nj ile class and working class, lace
each other and face civil war.
Germans who have not seen gold for
nearly ten years have forgotten its
value and often fix prices that are
absurd.
Almost universally they are above
the American level but the employers
cannot pay similar wages.
A workman who before the war
could buy a suit of clothes with the
wages of 40 hours of work. must now
labor $50 hours for the same suit.

work then against 125 now. g,

Use of institutes.
THE main remedy, however. against
extortionate prices lies in the con-
sumer himself. There are substitutes
for hard coal and a readiness to re-
sort to them is the ultimate and ef-
fective defense against an unreason-
able price.
The mining and marketing of soft
coal is the larger and, from the point
of view of the national economic life.
the more important industry, and
here the fundamental evil is override
velopment. irregularity of operation
and consequent enforced idleness OF
miners and of invested capital. This
problem. like that of anthracite, can
be solved only by the federal govern
ment, in cooperation with the in
dustry, working on a national scale
and with a clearly defined national
policy. 1t is through the granting

service through supervision that an
equilibrium can be established be-

Transportation inefficient.
throughout it's investigation this
commission has constantly found
points of intimate contact between
inter state commerce regulation and
the coal business. Greater use OF
river transportation would help to
get more coal to market with less
coal cars. The river movement OF
coal, considered at one time. has been
discouraged. if not stif1ed, by artifi-
cial rail rates. Economy in the use OF
transportation also demands that the
long haul of coal be no longer en-
couraged by favoring rates. estab-

FORBIDDEN FRUIT"
 AT CAPITOL TWO DAYS
Agnes Ayres Stars In Film Version
 Of Story Of Cinderella

Everyone knows the story of Cin- derena and the Fairy Godmother. And now all the world may see the story presented with the lavish beauty for which Cecil B. De Mile is famous as producer. when For hidden Fruit" comes to the Capitol theatre Friday and Saturday.
 The incorporation of the story of Cinderella in a vision episode in the otherwise modern story serves two- fold purpose: The vision serves to explain much of the subsequent ac- ton. and it gives MT. De Miles col orful imagination and artistry full play with incomparably beautiful results.
 This episode was filmed in stage setting constructed entirely of plate glass. A ballroom floored and walled with heavy glass. with wide glass staircase beneath which waterfalls and lights alternately play, forms the central setting. Stately glass pillars supporting baskets of blown glass fruit serve as fountains. wide pools of water peopled by black swans alternate with the crystal floor. A section of this same crystal floor was so constructed as to permit the ap- pearance of massive clock with two bronze figures which strike the hour of 12 and the end of Cinder- elias dream. Agnes Ayres portrays Cinderella, with kathlyn Williams as the Fairy GOdmOther.
