to try to stop the flow of liquor into
the United States through New Orleans
within 80 days.
"We want to bottle up this port

qpor rings operating from Chicago, ST.

"There is no lodging the issue that

Hidalgo county, around Mercedes.
shall we do the work now, while
we have state aid, or wait until a big

must not kid themselves into believ-

alone determine the values. 1t isre-
ducing lands having citrus fruit valu-

Judge Dancy brings out that the

case OF a disastrous flood he would
be the one who would have to pay
