C.O.P,CHAIRMAN
IN BROWNSVILLE
Republican Head Pre-
diets Heavy Vote; Is
Guest of Creager

"If the increase in the vote for re-
publican candidate for governor of Tex
as next year is in proportion to that
of the past few years, the republicans
will make good showing in the race
for chief executive" says Eugene Nolte,
of Seguin, state chairman of the re-
publican party, who arrived in Browns
vile Saturday morning as the guest Of
R. B.. Creager, republican national COM
mstteeman.
Mr.. Nolte is visiting the Valley now
for the first time in II years, and, al
though he saw only parts of it while
coming through on the train, declared
that he was very much surprised and
expects to see all the Valley before
leaving. He will go up the Valley into
Hidalgo county with Mr.. Creager during
his visit here
I'VE can't say that we will have as
large an increase in the republican vote
next year as last" he continued, but
if we have good man as candidate, we
should. We propose to see that we have
a strong candidate.
Mrs. Ferguson will probably run for
or it is possible that neither of them
will run, but some one who has the ap-
proval of the present governor and her
husband"
Republicans of the state are prepar-
ing for their primary and state conven-
tion, next year being the first year that
the republicans have been entitled to
hold primary under the laws of the
state of Texas. This will probably be
an additional benefit to US, in bringing
our candidates before the people more
strongly, and in giving the people a
direct voice in selecting their own can
dijates," was the belief Of Mr.. Nolte.
Mr.. Creager mentioned that Mr.. Nolte
has attended every republican national
convention for the past 25 years, and
has been otherwise active in all affairs
of the party in Texas and elsewhere.
= While Mr.. Nolte is here as my guest
we propose to look over the Valley
making tour into Hidalgo county, anc
visiting other parts of the section" Mr.
Creager said.

FIRST BALE IS
EXPECTED soon
Ell Jardin Man to Start
Picking; Gins Will
Start July |

The first bale of cotton of the 1925
vile district will probably come into
the city the latter part Of this week,
according to reports from growers.
w. E. Collins OF El Jardn declares
that he will pick bale of cotton dur
ing the latter part of the week. and
will haul it in to have it ginned if the
gins are started BY that time.
1t is doubtful if gins in Brownsville
will start running regularly before
July 1, owner of the gins said yesterday
as little cotton will start moving in be-
fore that time. The picking has sheen
delayed some by the rainy weather
which slowed up opening of bolls.
Cotton is not being damaged any ex-
cessive amount by the boil weevil on
account Of rainy weather. shippers and
growers agreed. The worst damage the
rain is doing is washing poison from
the cotton, and making it possible for
the weevils to multiply more rapidly.
However, this can be remedied by pois-
oning again after the rain stops.
'There is danger Of the cotton rot
ting with too much rain," one Of the
growers said, "but so far there has
been no indication of too much water
All the rain should cause the cotton to
grow and produce large crop, although
it will tend to make it later"
The price of cotton at present is
around "a cents on the spot markets
which will make it about % cents here
when it starts moving. commission mer-
chants said. This is about eight or nine
cents less than cotton brought at the
opening of the season last year. How
ever. at that time cotton was late,
number of buyers had contracted cot
ton at 20, and were forced to buy to
fill orders. and the situation was diff
ferent from the present situation.
No prediction as to whether the croI
will go up or down could be secured.

That man never was either monkey

MEXICO LANDS
TO Be DIVIDED
Engineers in Matamoros
to Mark Off Large
Tracts

Arrangements for dividing up thous-
ands Of acres of government land along
the south bank of the Rio Grande and
giving it to farmers who will settle on
it are being made group Of engineers
headed by Moreno Veytia, at present in
Matamoros, this group representing the
federal department of agricultural in
Mexico.
NThe engineers have expressed a de-
size to ascertain whether the land is
irrigable before giving it to farmers.
This is to be done in compliance with
the recent agrarian law of Mexico,
which permits the government to take
land from persons who have not paid
taxes, and in some instances from for
eignecs. Other lands along the border
and elsewhere are owned by the gov
eminent as federal lands.
With the chief of engineers are two
other engineers, Freierico Videau, and
Jose Marin Rebetun. They came to
Matamoros from Reynosa, and upon ar
irving in MatamoroS held a consultation
with Prudencio Roiz, mayor of that city.
In Reynosa the formation of a gov
ernment colony of farmers was consid-
cred, but lack of available funds pre-
vented such a plan being carried out.
Other plans for settlement of the lands
by owners, instead of tenents are being
discussed by the engineers.
Belief was expressed by Moreno
Veytia that all the lands that can be
irrigated should be furnished with
water by the government before being
given to the farmers, as the latter will
not, in most cases, have sufficient fl
nances to provide irrigation.
The party Of engineers visited the
municipal record room in Matamoros to
be sure Of titles to all lands which are
being apportioned into sections for dis
tribution to formers.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Jun 20.--Walter
Krauser charged with the murder Of q
policeman. today stabbed and possibly
fatally wounded Bernard Grant, under
sentence of death for the same murder,
while the two were receiving visitors
in the county Jail.
Kiauser, in a statement to Warden
Wesley Westbrooks, said that Grant
had threatened to kill him. The stab
bing was done with pocket knife
which Krauser said he had found.
Warden Westbrook, however, said he
believed the knife had been smuggled
into the prison and started an investi,
cation.
Grant was stabbed five times, one
wound puncturing a lung, and another
in the neck nearly severing the jugular
vein.
Grant and Krauser were taken to the
visitors room to chat with several re-
latives of each of the men. large
screen divided the visitors room into
two parts. the prisoners occupying one
part and the visitors the other.
When Grant entered the loom, Kraus-
er, ignored the greetings Of his rela-
tives and Immediately attacked his one

er prisoners could subdue him, he had
stabbed Grant five times. Several rela-
tives of the men who witnessed the at
tack, powerless to interfere collapsed
and the Jail, housing several hundred
prisoners, was thrown into confusion.
Both Krauser and Grant were con-
victed of the murder of Policeman Ralph
! Spuders while trying to hold up a tea
store two years ago. Both were con.
demned to die on the gallows but the
! case was carried to the supreme court,
which upheld the decision of the lower
courts as to Grant, but granted Krauser

"FIRsT AID" CABINET SAVES
DOCTOR BILLS

A first aid" medicine cabinet is
one way of bringing the hospital to
the home.
More than Ii miles is the average
distance between the doctor and the
farm home. Consequently, there is an
advantage in having 'first aid" cab
met to turn to in case of slight injur-
les and emergencies. The home econ
omics department of the University
of Wisconsin gives suggestions for
equipping such cabinet.
The medicine cabinet may be home
or ready made. One may be easily
made at home by Ringing door to
dry goods box which is about 8 in
ches deep, Is inches high and IA
inches wide It may then be fitted
with the desired number of shelves.
The whole thing may be painted white
and hung on the wall of the bathroom
or even in the kitchen of the farm
home. The more expensive cabinets
have mirror on the outside and
serve double purpose when installed
in the bath room.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-02-05
HANG IT HIGH ENOUGH

Height is an important factor in
placing the cabinet. Ii there is a
danger of the children climbing up to
it, it is well to keep it locked. How
ever, let all the adults know where
to find the key.
A suggested list of equipment for
the medicine cabinet is as follows:
Carbolated petrolatum, tincture of
iodine, collodion, absorbent cotton,
gauze, roller bandages, adhesive plas-
tor, a camePs hair brush, scissors,
Epson salts or castor oil, boric acid
solution, a small bottle of aromatic
spirits of ammonia, an ounce tube of
oxide of zinc, a medicine dropper, an
eye cup, thermometer for taking
Temperatures, and fountain syringe
There should also be easy access to
a rubber or covered aluminium hot
water bottle, and a blanket in case
of fire. "Goosegrease" is a good old
fashioned remedy which is often kept
on hand for soreness of the chest

Writer Laughs at LaD
to REGULATE the Sexes

The law and custom may do their
best to establish sex equality, but
neither can hope to undo the work of
thousand centuries. Whatever stat
utes may have to say, men always will
seem amusing to women and women
always will seem queer to men.
When a woman is Ill she wishes to
be petted; when man is Ill he wishes
to be left alone.
When a woman does wrong she can
at once persuade herself that she was
not to blame; when man does wrong
he condemns himself utterly, even
though the greater part Of the fault
was another's. A woman Is most at
ease when she has on new garments
man in new clothes feels hideously
conspicuous, says the Baltimore Sun.
A man can kiss another woman and
love his wife no less; when a woman
enjoys kissing another man her hus-
band is out of the picture.
A woman loves all the time; man
only at intervals.
A man pretends to know more than
ne does In an effort to impress MS
wife; woman pretends to know less
than she does to avoid hurt to her hus-
bands vanity.
A man hates but little and shows the
little clearly; woman hates much
and cOntrives to conceal 1t.
A woman hides her strength man
hides his weakness
A man forgives because he can't re-
member; woman remembers because
she can't forgive.
A woman is religious because she
feels the need Of a protector; man
Is religious because he would cooper
ate with God.
Man is led by his appetite; woman Is
led by her. curiosity.
Man will not change his mind, be-
cause he first must admit that he was
wrong; woman changes hers for the
sake of expediency even If she knows
her first opinion was right.
Legislation can't take away ducks
love of water nor a chickens aversion
to 1t.

AID FOR CUTS

Tincture of iodine and collodion are
often used for small cuts as they are
good disinfectants. Iodine should
never be used too strong as such treat
ment causes burn. 1t is well to buy
it in small quantities as it contains
alcohol which gradually evaporates
and makes the mixture too strong for
use Iodine should never be used on a
burn. Collodion is often known as
new skin and is also applied by be-
ing brushed over the skin.
Carbolated petroleum. resembles
salve in appearance and is used for
various dressings and for greasing
syringes. Boric acid solution is good
wash for the eyes when they are in
famed or strained. 1t may. be drop
pei in the eyes or applied with an
eye cup.
Aromatic spirits of ammonia is a
common stimulant for fainting A few
drops of it may be put on handker-
chief and applied to the nose of the
patient. This must be done carefully,
however, in order not to irritate the
nose of the patient.
Oxide of zinc may be purchased in
paste form and gives relief when
the skin is rubbed or chapped. An eye
cup is inexpensive and a thermometer
for taking body temperature is very
important
