Christiansted, 29th May.
Dear Mr.. Editor,
Can you, or anybody else, for that
matter, explain by what rhyme or reason
the entrance to the District Court is kept
open when the court is not in session,
but closed and pad-Iocked when the court
is trying cases in which the public may
be interested.
A painted sign board placed over the
most logical entrance to the courtroom
reads thus: Entrance District Court.
This is as it should be, but this entrance
is also used as a garage for the Despatch
ing Secretary's car and as the housing OF
this car seems to be Of more importance
than the use of this passage-way by th2
public as the entrance to the court, the
gate is ordered locked prior to and dur
inc the sessions the public being obliged
to seek entrance to the court through
various other channels.
In my mind this procedure is irregular
and not conducive to order, therefore
either of the two thirEs should be dome
remove the sign-hoard. placing it over
such an entrance as will be available as
a n entrance when the court is in session,
or provide some other and more suitable
garage for the car in question.
1t would be interesting to know II The
Hon. Judge Of the District Court was
aware of the fact that, the official en-
trance to his Court was ordered locked
on Monday 28th inst. before and while
his court was in open session.
Yours truly

Choice Acreage.

Lullng. lex. aug. -. Il. W III
ans. pioneer operator of the MexiS
field is the latest independent opera
tor to enter the Luling field. Mr..
Winans has secured several choice
leases and, in all probability, will be
one of the most active operators IL
this section.
With eight producers completed dur
ing the last week and five additional
tests ready to drill in, pipe line facili-
ties, it is expected, will be taxed to
capacity within the netx ten days.
While four lines are now running oil,
the delay in getting the Magnolia line
completed, will, in all probability,
cause the United North and South
Oil company to pinch in a number OF
its big producers. This latter line,
when completed will run the majority
of this company's production to their
ten $1,000 barrel storage tanks and
the 1000 barrel topping plant. located
three miles south of town.
A test that is attracting the atten'
ton of the local operators is the J.
b. Jarman No. 1 well on the Maggie
Moore farm. This we'll is located west
of the Luling-San Marcos highway
in an unproven territory. Its compile
ton as n producer will mean a two
mile west extension to the field.
Many buyers and scouts for tht
major companies are in the field and
many deals are pending that will
bring some of the biggest operators
to this field. A group of Oklahoms
operators have been in the field during
the last week. looking over the situa
ton and a favorable report on thu
main Luling structures has been made
by their geological staff.

Preliminary steps to the elimination
of dangerous railroad crossing on
the north side of San Antonio were
slken Monday when the city commits
sion at its regular meeting adopted a
resolution declaring the tracks of the
Great Northern railroad
dangerous" and instructing the city
attorney to order a hearing for the
purpose of relocating the tracks. The
matter must be taken UP with the
state railroad commission for final
action.
This is in line with a campaign
pledge of the Tobin administration
and contemplates the removal of the
I-.G. n tracks from a point near the
city limits on the north to near the
passenger station. 1t has been sug-
gested that the I.-G. \. use the tracks
of the San Antonio & Arkansas Pass
road into San Antonio but this plan
has met with some disfavor. However.
it is understood. that the city will
insist that the tracks be removed.
A petition requesting the use of the
plazas for carnival shows at the next
spring fiesta was presented to the
council by DR.. Harry Leap, president
of the fiesta association. It was re
ferred to Commissioner Phil Wright
for recommendation.
An amendment to the city traffic
laws, made necessary by the installa-
ton of the new signal system, was
adopted. The only important changes

Protests from women against the
changing of the name of Avenue {,

TRUSSED FOX IN HAY sHEAF
New Zealand Farmer Reports Occur
renee Which in Many Respects
Is Remarkable.

A New Zealand farmer In Pinker-
tons Plains reports the unique feat of
trussing fox in sheaf of hay. The
farmer was working his binder in a
heavy. crop, and was frequently in
difficulties owing to the density of the
cut. He therefore did not take much
notice of a severe humping and jolting
of the machine, until he saw some
thing dark pass under his feet going
through the machine. The difficulty
cleared itself and the binder went
smoothly, but the farmer thinking
over the matter thought he had caught
q rabbit, and got down to investigate.
He found that the machine was all
right but on the apron were splashes
of blood, which caused him to go back
TO some sheaves that had been thrown
off the carrier. To his surprise he
found a fox, securely trussed up In the
hay, the binder irvine encircling the
sheaf The animal had both hind legs
off, one close up to the thigh. where
the knives had caught 1t, presumably
asleep in the crop.

SIX YEARS TO MAKE GOWN
Gorgeous Wedding Dresses Apparent
ly Matter of Necessity in the Dutch
East Indies.

On the island Of Madura, In the
Dutch East Indies, the girls marry
when they are very young. Twelve
years is the average when girl takes
on the responsibilities of making n
home. In fact, II she were unmarried
at fourteen she would be considered
nm cold maid" The bridal gown is a
very complicated, goi seous and yalu-
able garment, hand-woven silk being
the base of the wedding dress. This
is only the start.
After this beautiful material has
been woven there comes the tedious,
fine work Of embroidery, observes the
Detroit News. Thousands Of tiny
stitches are taken and the most beau
tiful colors are worked into the silk.
Even when the gown is at this stage
Of construction it is quite gorgeous
and imposing affair. But the final
decoration has not been started yet.
Now comes the gold which is added.
Into the skirt, around the waist and
over the shoulders are appliqued very
beautifully, filigree designs Of hand
beaten gold.
In Madura 1t takes many mother
all the spare hours of six years to
make one of these gorgeous wedding
dresses.
