VEGETABLE SHIPMENTS

Brownsville. Tex, March S.-Rec-
ords for valley vegetable shipments
have been repeatedly broken this sea-
son, and during the last week all
previous records for weekly shipments
were smashed with the announcement
of the Gulf Coast lines that 126
cars had moved from the valley in sew

cars per day.
The bulk of the shipments consisted
of cabbage. of which there was a to-
tai of 512 cars. Mixed vegetable with
81 cars ranked second. and beets and
carrots ranked third with 13 cars.
Cabbage prices range from $50 to
$50 per ton, and as roe yield is
averaging between 9 and Z tons per
acre, the growers are making a big
profit. as the cost of producing cab

ton because of Americas example and
influence.
Paris has played her part. Of
course. in changing the shoe models
of America. When the women OF
the French style capital started wear
ing long shoes. half dozen years ago,
the round toe and the short vamp
disappeared simultaneously in Amer
lea. But the point was this: Paris
had merely started another fad. for
Paris. but for America she had open
ed the gates to foot freedom. and
the flapper has kept them open. Sew
eral unsuccessful attempts have been
made by Paris. since then. to bring
back the small shoe. but American
womCl were only mildly interested.
The long shoe has ceased to be a
style. in the eyes OF dealers; it has
become an American Institution. the
right and privilege of every woman
today. a part of her newly-given fran
chise as free and emancipated citi-
zen of Il liberty loving country.

Athletics Strong Influence.
athletics have played a big part
u the change in shoe styles for wom-
en-. according to leading chiropodists
of San Antonio. who stated almost
without exception. when interviewed
regarding the change from small shoes
to large ones, that the modern ten
dency to vie with men in outdoor
games has created need for larger.
more comfortable and safer shoes for
women.
Col and tennis have influenced the
oNfords popularity, and are partly
responsible for the sensible shoe If
today. according 10 the chiropodists.
who said that the feet of athletic
women are never abused, nowadays.
In order to have the perfect free
dom demanded by the sports. shoes
must be- harder and more strongly
built. and must ALLOW foot freedom
for rapid movement. Universities and
| colleges have also influenced the adj
vent of the new shoe. according TO
foot specialists. by insisting on ath-
letic training. In certain colleges. set
rules are made in regard 10 shoes,
and women who have once worn the
athletic oxford Of the campus will
never again submit 10 cramped quar-
tCrs for their feet.
Business is another big factor that
has brought about the new shoe for
women. according TO dealers. who
stated that working girls were the
pioneer wearcrs OF larger shoes. In
order 10 stand all day. or walk. or
! maintain perfect ease in an office,
their shoes must be comfortable, and
they sacrificed their pride TO dollars,
in the early days OF larger shoes. in
order to make good on the job. Now.
when women are playing such a big
part in all lines of business. they are
debating TO the dealers that their
shoes must still be comfortable.
Women of China are adopting
larger shoes. according to Miss Helen
Thoburn. recently a visitor in San
Antonio for the Young Women's
Christian Association. Miss Th6burn
told OF the new era in China, repre-
scented and perhaps uShered in by the

Tokyo. March S.-The rash attempt
of japanese youth, his mind APP
parentIy unbalanced through radical
reading and thoughts, TO take the life
Of the Prince Regent on December
last has had disastrous effect on the
family of which he was Il member.
When Daisukc Namba fired the shot
which missed the future emperor of
Japan as his Imperial Highness was
motoring from his palace to the diet
building to open the regular session
of that body. he little rcckoned that he
was wrcckirg the happiness and future
of all those who loved him most.
The family system is the founda-
ton stone Of the japanese Empire, be-
ing maintained not only in private life
but in national affairs as well. Hence
when his son committed this serious
offense-something which has never
before happened i'll the history of the
imperial family-the father as head
of the family was forced by custom TO
assume full responsibility for the
deed. This he Immediately did. re-
signing his seat in the House of Rep
resentatives of the Diet. For the
Namba family has been known for
its integrity and loyalty, and many
OF its members have risen 10 high
places in national affairs.
The father, Sakunoshin Namba,
following acceptance Of his resignation
from the Diet. Immediately returned
10 his home in Hagi. YamaSuchi pre-
lecture, and shut himself up in Sc
clusiOn-borne down with the grief and
shame heaped upon his innocent head.
For a while it wear feared he would
follow the tradition of committed
"hara-Kaki>' to atone for his sons
deed. and a strict watch was kept
over him h. members of the stricken
family. This custom is fact becoming
obsolete in Japan. however, and the
father has decided on step which will
bring him much greater anguish
namely to go into voluntary exile with
his entire family.
Within few weeks Namba with his
wife and other children will depart for
Java. never TO return TO their beloved
native land. While this action is en-
tirely voluntary on the part of Mr..
Namba. he realizes that never in the
eyes of the japanese public can his
family obliterate the blot on the family
name placed there by the BLACK sheep"
of an otherwise upright and loyal
family. This despite the fact that the
boys great grandfather received high
court rank from the late Emperor
Meiii in recognition of meritorious
service during the restoration period.

KILLED TEAM HORSES
Thursdays Storm Did Much
Damage in Lake Region
With Lightning and Hail.

Damage by hail and excessive
rainfall is reported from this sec
ton of the lake region due to
Thursdays electrical storm. In
one instance the fall of water was
extremely h avy and records
more than two inches within a
few hours. Lightning pl ayed
havoc with buildings and the
death of stock is also reported
from near Three Lakes and State
Line.
A team of horses owned by L
w. Wheeler, who conducts a mar
ket garden on Planting Ground
lake near Three Lakes, were struck
during the storm and instantly
killed. The barn of Isaac Ander-
son on the Mannheim school road
east OF Conover was struck while
Mr.. Anderson and son were work
ing in the building. Three COWS
were killed, but the buildine, was
saved. This occurred about six
o'clock in the evening.
Hail of sizes ranging from
small marbles to hens eggs, fell
and IN many instances broke win
dows and punctured auto tops and
roofs of dwellings,. At Camp
Wlnnepe several sharp hail stones
drove through tent tops where the
boys were quartered.
AT +. c. Porter's resort on Lac
Vleux Desert lake, lightning,
struck one of the pine shade trees
on the resort grounds ripping it
to pieces. A valuable draft horse
standing under the tree was in
stantly killed by the bolt.
1t IS stated that Cadillac tour
ing car was struck by lightning
during this storm of Thursday and
hole burned through the radi-
ator The story has not been YER
flied as to whether the car was
peopled at the time it was struck
or whether it was parked under
trees. 1t is rare that an automo-
bile is struck by lightning.
thursday morning the saw mill
of w. R. Ashton located on Little
Twin lake near Phelps, was de-
stroyed by fire. This fire was not
due to storm conditions, but
caught from the engine room in
some manner. The building and
entire mill machinery is lost and
the amount will run up into sew
eral thousands of dollars. TIL
mill had been in operation for sew
erlal years and was quite large.
1t IS not known whether it will be
