BROWNSVILLE, May 8.-Grape
growing could be made a profitable
industry in this section5 Judging
from the ease with which this crop
has been grown in Thomas county
in years past, and its adaptation to
the soil and climate here. A move
ment has been started to re-estab-
lish the industry here.
Many years ago the late John
Stark, Of this city, had large vine
Yard a few miles out of Townsville,
where many varieties of grapes were
grown, and ali Of the finest quality.
In those days, before the eighteenth
amendment was dreamed of as a
probability for the country, these
grapes were made into wine and
shipped to other markets where they
brought good prices, the wine being
of an exceptional quality and bou-
quet, according to the "old timers"
who seem to have vivid memories
Of it.
Mr.. Stark, who was himself a ma
tive of Switzerland, had in his em-
ploy men who were natives of the
grape growing sections of that coun-
try and raised to the business of
wine making in a country where ev-
erybody drank it and knew how it
should be made. After the death
Of Mr.. Stark the vineyard passed
into other hands and was gradually
allowed to die ont. With such a
vineyard here nov there could be
made grape juice enough to supply
this and other sections.
A few years ago the Meigs dis
trict in this county was noted for its
grape crop and many baskets of
them were shipped to other markets.

neglected and while there are still

Esteban's trip, it could only be be-
cause he was taking a short cut

He ought to know better than to

annoyance at the boys foolhardi-

HE took the blackboard and
team
"Why, you can't get through
there with a rig. I've been over
every foot of that country" He
pointed to the child, and tapped his
lips with his finger as he went on.
He's going around by the crossing,

ROW CO ON With STORY
This last statement carried weight
with Baslio. By the time Blaze had
turned My Man into the patio gate
the child had recovered his smile.
Mercedes had been aware of Kll-
