ROXY FORMER MARINE.

Roxy was at one time a private
in the Marine corps and now holds a
reserve commission as major in the
same branch of the service.
He early became interested in radio
and gave many sets to disabled vcter-
ans.
Finally he decided to raise money
with which to supply radio receiving
sets for all hospitals serving disabled
veterans.
Through the cooperation of certain
newspapers, he was able to raise
money to equip hospitals in the East.
One of these was the great Walter
Reed General Hospital of the army at
Washington.
Major Sherwood was stationed there
at the time and is given much credit
for the success of that achievement.
SO generous was the response to the
call for funds with which to furnish
radio for the hospitals that a balance
of $4,000 was left, and this money
has been turned over to the Ameri-
can Legion Weekly for use in hospit-
ais serving disabled war veterans.
PLAN INSTALLATION.
The Station Hospital at Fort Sam
Houston is one of the largest army
hospitals in the country.
1t has an authorized capacity of
$50 beds with an emergency expansion
of 1000 beds.
The average number of patients
served is $50, about one-third of whom
are veterans of the World War.
Promise is made by the trustees OF
the fund that the equipment will be
installed at Station Hospital at the
earliest date possible.

TERRIBLE ROMANCE.

He felt her small hand touching

eyes as she asked him not to so.
He felt that he had killed her. His
remorse was devastating.
For years he hardly looked at n
girl. Then, abruptly, he was in love
with Nora Lee.
Now this would be ended. He would
be in wrong all around. A loud breath
tore from him. He said, desperately,
Il guess you think I'm a fine chump,
Nora Lee"
She answered slowly, "No, 1 don't. "
Your mother will. She won't let
you go out with me again."
"Oh-oh, she couldn't stop that!"
He stopped short, new note in his
voice, and tilted her face upward. do
you mean it, Nora Lee? Do you?"
"Oh, mean it,"
They walked along more quickly, a

D|GGERS FIND
WATER SUPPLY
To |RR|GATE +
7 DRY LANDS
Stream Four Feet From
Surface Flows Stronger 4
Than San Marcos.

A subterranean river, found at a
depth of four feet from the surface,
has been discovered in the farming see
ton bordering Clearfork creek, five
miles from Lockhart.
Water is being piped at the rate
of several thousand gallons per min
ute to the fields from the underground
stream, and a section that was parched
and barren is beginning to bloom I'M
der the hot August sun.
The remarkable discovery came as
an accident, while farmers were dig
ging for shallow water in the neigh
borhood of the head of Clearfork
creek. Water in unusual quantities
was found just four feet beneath the
parched surface of the ground, ana
the wells were widenCd as much as
20 to 40 feet across. One farmer, h.
w. Pyland, broke through strata of
rock that hid stream strong enough
to gush six feet high.
STRONGER THAN RIVER.
1t is estimated that the hidden
stream actually furnishes more water
than the San Marcos river contains in
its current. Six thousand gallons per
minute, an amount considered the
streams peak, flowed from the river
through irrigation pipes all day Satur-
day, August Is.
Clearfork district is the very black
est Of black lands. Its cotton farms
are usually fertile. Land is worth
from 5000 to $500 an acre there. But
the long drouth this year had scared
and parched the barren burrows, and
even the prospect for next years crop
looked unpromising. Total crop fail
ures this season meant no money and
no feed TO guarantee next years work
on the farms.
GIFT FROM HEAVEN.
The farmers of Clearfork commune
ty therefore consider their hidden river
heaven-sent gift, especially for their
needs-a miracle: and they ask Meth
er whence it came, nor how.
Pipes carrying the miracle-water 10
thirsty farms have not tapped or
weakened the hidden streams flow,
and the capacity of the river seems
boundless so far.
Water, water everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink -
SEEMS A MIRACLE.
The Ancient Mariner, in his quaint
situation as a drifter on the sea with
out a drop to drink" has a strong
modern parallel in the tale of the
Clearfork farmers-whose dry acres
hid a river that was waiting to be
found.
But in the minds Of the Clearfork
farmers a miracle has been repeated
the miracle of Moses getting water
from a rock, in the forgotten old des-
ert of Tin. For the river they have
found is more valuable than all the
harvests ever gathered by these farm
ers from their fields. And as its saw
ing waters flow over their thirsty
acres, the new river" seems more a
miracle than an accident to them.

Neutrality-suspicious."
Suddenly she was remem-
boring Margaret's eyes wet
sgainst her face. An uncon-
rollable sob rushed to her
throat:
Don't cry, Nora Lee. Please don't
cry" He put his arm about her and
pulling out his handkerchief, wiped
her eyes. "She won't die. She'll be too
busy thinking about you"
Il hope so. I'm not crying. I'm
sorry for you, Dane"
Say" he gripped her arms, try
ing to see her eycs-then added with
a gulp - "if you knew what I'm
thinking"
His thoughts were dark enough,
If ever there was an unfortunate
brute, it was he. He would never
look at a girl again disaster al
ways followed him. Once when he
was 16 he fancied himself terribly
in love with a girl he met at a sum-
her resort. She was a dark, i'm
perious little thing with the same
wild, gypsy grace he found in Nora
Lee.
One day a crowd of fellows got

No girls were asked. Marie said to
