$40.

How many 81 bills have you in
your purse today? Look carefully.
For your idea about 81 bills is going
to change.
OF course everyone superstitiously
inclined believes that 50 bills are I'M
lucky. They have had that reputation
ever since they were first issued. No
sooner is a man given a 81 bill than
he seeks to get rid of it, pass his bad
luck" on to someone else.
But things have changed.
IT'S WORTH $40.
Somewhere in San Antonio is 50 bill
No. 9S652GOO-A.
1t is worth $40.
1t was changed at the Gunter Hotel
cigar stand Sunday by a representa-
tive of The Light. Two Travis cigars
were purchased.
my, where did you get that un-
lucky two-spotT' the girl at the cigar
counter exclaimed when it was pre-
scented.
NOT so UNLUCKY.
81 don't think they're SO unlucky,"
the purchaser countered. I'D like to
have a lot more like it."
And he knew whereof he spoke.
For that 81 bill. if presented to the
"Two-Spot Editor q the San Antonio
Light is worth $40.
There arc no strings tied to it.
just present it to the "Two-Spot
Editor and get your ten dollars.
1t isn't a game of chance but purely
business proposition, to encourage
thrift.
HELP TREASURY.
The plan has been instituted by The
Light to assist the Treasury Depart
ment in popularizing the 81 bill. The
Treasury Department so far has failed
in its campaign along these lines and
many banks have quantities of these
bills which customers refuse to accept.
The Light by offering $40 for each
81 bill put into circulation by its rep
resentative, hopes to abolish a super.
stition as well as to furnish an inter
esting contest for it's readers.
RULES SIMPLE. ~
The rules governing the contest are
simple: Get 50 bills. Ask for them at
the banks when you. draw money.
Don't refuse them when offered you
in change.
Then watch The Light every day
for the numbers. And when you get a
81 bill bearing one of these numbers
hurry to The Light office and ask for
the "Two-Spot" Editor. He'll hand you
your $40.

tives. of course. viii be ineligible to

GOVERNOR MARTIN protests
NJ to the Interstate Commerce
commiwlon, Against lack Of railroad
facilities in Florida, brought about
By an extraordinary rush Of travel
and freight even in summer. The
Florida East Coast railroad has prac-
ticalIy put an embargo on freight
and excursion trains.
But for the extraordinary accom-
plishment of s. Davies Warfield,
head Of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way. building a railroad across Flor
ida in less than year, pushing on
now from Palm Beach to Miami and
south, thus doubling the states rail
read facilities, conditions in Florida
would be absolutely desperate.
In his protest 10 the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Governor
Martin says: 'The situation causes
me profound alarm. Florida is grow
ing at an unprecedented rate, trans
portation facilities are taxed to the
limit. II this condition exists in
midsummer, when there is supposed
to be lull in orr activities, ! must
view with great alarm what the sit
uation will be during the winter
months

TAKE
MAN after
GIRL FROM
MONTH
Prisoner Lured to 5. A. on
Marriage Promise,
She Declares.

Overwhelmed by the threat OF the
loss of her two-year-old child, a young
Austin widow told the police she had
been held captive in San Antonio
hotel during the past month.
1t was not until the attaches Of the
hotel became suspicious and invoked
police investigation that the woman
summoned courage to tell her story
and escape her captivity and the inc
dignities that had gone with it.
In consequence of the investigation
of Detectives Golf and Hice the man
in the case is in Jail. he was fined
5000, the limit, on two charges Of
vagrancy and vice law violation in
corporation court Monday and Is held
for further charges in the county erim-
inal court. The woman is being re-
turned TO her home in Austin. Her
baby will 90 with her.
CAME To BE WE'D.
According to the story told by this
woman, she came to San Antonio
about month ago for the purpose OF
marrying the man in the case. He
had shown her a wedding ring in Aus
tin, following brief courtship, she
says, and had asked her to come ia
San Antonio with him to be married.
Upon arrival in San Antonio. she
says, he took her TO hotel. While
she waited at the hotel, he went Que
with the child. Presently, according
to her story to the officers, following
the arrest of the man, he returned
without the child He brought 4
friend" with him and told her she
must submit to the requests Of this
friend or she would not see her
child again.
That, she says. was the beginning
of an almost nightly series of visits Of
friends, = brought in by her osptor.
BETRAYs MAN.
When Detectives Golf and Hics
visited her room they found her in
company with the man who induced
her to come to San Antonio.
Tell them we are married. the
man said to her in the presence Of the
detectives. SHOW them your ring
and tell them we are married"
But the woman found courage with
the prospect of arrest. She refused 70
do the mans bidding. Instead she told
the story TO the police with the result
that the man was taken to Jail and her
child was restored 10 her.

rOLoNEL PETER o. KNIGHT,
~ one of Florida's most able and
active citizens, predicts that without
immediate railroad extension and
new railroad building, Florida's con-
dition win be deplorable.
There seems to be further oppor-
tunity for such a man as Clarence
Dillon, whose firm, Dillon. Read and
Company, with great profit to its
customers. has hitherto co-operated
financially with Mr.. warfield in his
wide program Of Florida's railroad
building.
