Chow jackers.

"Chow-jackers."
This brand new word entered the
English language Monday night. De-
tectives Harris and Hcrbst volunteer
this history of its origin.
Three youths entered the Market
House Cafe, Monday night and or
dered meals. After consuming them
with relish they asked the price.
Ninety cents each" the cafe man
ager said.
Without answering him, they turned
and started to walk out. He remon
strated.
One of the three pulled a pistol from
his pocket and trained it on the man
ager.
Thus protected they continued their
retreat.

Deserving his pretty companion, q
young widow, a young married man
Monday night leaped from a second
story window of her luxuriously fur
nished home to temporary liberty.
Detectives Golf and Bradshaw, the
cause of his wild leap gave chase after
arresting his pretty hostess.
Though the young mans leap had
cost him a sprained ankle, in his ex-
element he completely forgot his car
and attempted to hobble away de-
spite his injury.
He was caught.
"Oh. Lord, 1 did want to get away,
so my wife wouldn't find this out, "
he told the officer.
1t was not until he had been sent
to the station that the officers told
him his wife had known all of the
time.
I'VE have been watching you for
some time" they told him, but not
until tonight could we catch you. Your
wife was helping us"

A score years ago a date meant
quiet evening under the stars on the
lawn, or a short drive to the rural

Today the difference is greater than
day and night.

This is the rather abrupt query

Bride and Bridegroom Ride
in Wagon After Cere-
mony at Fort.

Queer customs, which the changing
years have failed to Danish, still
maintain in Uncle Sans army.
Through changing time, a changed
army, and a modernization of every
thing else, army tradition remains the
same. 1t is a law which must not
be broken.
And each branch of the service has
its separate custom.
One of long standing in the infan-
try was brought to light, when Miss
La Verne DAILY recently became the
bride of Lieutenant Richard T. Mitch
ell, of the First Infantry.
Every bride, everyone knows, is
proud of her wedding chariot. Mrs.
Mitchell was no, exception.
Except-in this case the chariot
proved to be an ordinary escort
wagon. Just a common, ordinary es-
cort wagon, pulled by four gray
mules.
Bride and bridegroom climbed into
the numbering vehicle at the post
chapel after the ceremony and were
carried to the Officers Club, where
a reception was held. The First In
fantry band led the way to the strains
of THE Old Gray Mare"
Officers of the regiment followed in
their automobiles.

P|CkERS MAKE
SAN ANTONIO
. RENDEZVOUS
Army of Workers Drift to
All Points as Cotton
Center Opens.

There is a strange nomadic trib,
which makes San Antonio its rem
devious.
Just as regular as the seasons it,
people come and 90.
Here in numbers today-gone to
morrow, travelling with the fouI
winds.
They live, love, suffer and enjoy
as do others. yet theirs is life apart
Work is their god.
Cotton is the lure that draws then
from place to place.
For the tribe is that great army o.
cotton pickers which yearly gathers
the fleecy wealth of the South. A
task unromantic. but an integral part
of a great industry.
FEED GREAT MILLS.
It is these lowly< people who feed
into the great cotton mill Of the East
the lint which later comes out as cloth
10 clothe the world.
More than 125000 of these workers
go forth each summer to gather in thu
treasured staple.
San Antonio is their meeting place,
The trek of the nomads commences
about the first day of August. Their
destination is the fertile lands of the
Rio Grande Valley. But the Rio
Grande on the south. and the Sabine
on the north do not limit their field
of endeavor.
East and west, as fast as the snowr
bolls burst open, they move. The end
of October ordinarily finds them
vending their way homeward-if home
they have.
MANY MEXICANS.
The vast majority Of the people who
choose this work as their vacations
are of Mexican extraction. Ordinarily
with large families, they make a fam
ily affair of cotton picking. Father,
mother, son and daughter, even to the
tiniest, do their bit.
Most Of these people are only tenn
porarily inhabitants of Texas. In the
early summer they come from the
southern republic. At the end of the
season they return-usually with we'll
filled pockets. enough to tide them
over the winter in their mild native
climate.
Sometimes they migrate beyond the
Texas borders. into states adjoining
on the north, east and west. But
Texas is the state from which they
derive their greatest revenue.
The migration brings to San An
tonic the distinction of being the larg'
est labor agency in the South-the city
which furnishes farmers north, east
south and west with the manpower t.
harvest their crops.
