Resolved That Bonedry Prohibition

tive of the issue. while DIR. Russ will
cndeavor TO show that the negative is
true. The debate will be held at the
weekly luncheon of the Conopus Club
Friday, in the ball room of the Menger

The idea of the debate originated
with DR.. Russ. who strongly believes
thSt the present prohibition laws. both
state and national. as, at present en-
forced, or enforceable. not only pro-
note widespread intemperance, but are
ropidly breaking down the moral fibre
of people. and are creating among our

CALIFORNIA ORANGE
CROP LARGEST EVER
SAYS EXCHANGE MAN
B. 0. Parker Says 400, 900
Boxes to Be Marketed
More Than Ever Before.

The orange and lemon crop now on
the trees in California to be grown and
marketed this year is the greatest ever
known. according TO Il. o. Parker of
the California Fruit Growers Ex-
change which markets the bulk of the
citrus crop Of America. Mr.. Parker
is in San Antonio en- route TO the
Rio Grande valley TO look over the
Texas citrus fruit industry with which
he is much impressed. He says the
valley grows some of the best Crane
fruit in the world and is destined TO
become a great citrus district when it
obtains a volume production suffi-
Gent TO give it market such as Cali
fornia growers have organized.
The California Fruit Growers Asso-
citation is one of the greatest market
ing agencies in the world. 1t handles
fruits under more than 200 labels and
its members always receive the top of
the market. This crop which is so i'm
mense as to be startling will move TO
market with regularity and with every
individual orange labelled after being
hand-selected by our experts. These
oranges will sell at the top price on
every market in America, getting the
grower a premium over the current
market price because of the fact that
he is offering only selected. choice
fruit of known grade and merit.
We have attained this end by adj
vertising. We have taken our labels
and made them stand for quality.
Then we have gone into the newspa-
pers and told the public what we had
to offer and why Red Ball oranges are
better than ordinary oranges. That is
why we get from dollar to a dollar
and one-hah more per box for choice
fruit than The market price for ordi-
nary oranges. We not only, sell
oranges but we sell quality. People
are willing TO pay for it.
Our oranges this year are some
what smaller in size than usual but
they are first-class otherwise. with
thin skins and full flavor and lots of
juice.
We have an estimate made by +.
III. Powell of the lemon growers that
the lemon crop. too, will be record
breaker. He estimates 1881 carloads
or J.432. 900 boxes of lemons from Cal
ifornia this year. Quality and size
are exceptionally large.
Orange and lemon growing is one
industry that will never be overdone.
The hazards of production are many
and the market is constantly widening
ard the demand growing faster than
it can be supplied. That this is so, is
due in large measure TO our exchange
which has given the public. quality
fruit and taught the consumer the
value of orange and lemon under our
labels"

Would SUSPEND Sentence.

An unusual incident III federal court
procedure took place Thursday MORN
ing. when jury in liquor case re-
turned a verdict of guilty and then
requested the court to suspend the
sentence that he might impose on the
defendant, J. n. Mezzocappo, charged
by information with violation of the
national prohibition act. In federal
court, jury is charged only with the
duty of determining the guilt or in
nocence of a man on trial before them.
Unlike the state courts, the amount or
degree of punishment is determined
solely by the judge after the defendant
is found guilty. The case involved
about two pints of whiskey which were
alleged to have been in the possession
of Mezzocappo. The case was made
by general prohibition agents. Me-
zocappo was given his choice between
paying a fine of 500 or spending 80
days in the Bexar county. Jail.
