Rogers commented as he lifted
his luggage into the cockpit of the
plane.
He was especially proud OF a
beautifully carved knife that Gen.
Oregon, presidential candidate,
had presented him at n bull fight
Sunday afternoon. "Ain't she a
beauty" he asked the crowd as
he took time off from struggling
into his furs to open the scab-

Tuesday night. When you start
trying to hop across Texas in one
day you have a job on your
hands-she sure is one big state"
Rogers chewed his gum hard
and fast and thanked Billy Bur
nett when the latter presented
him with a fresh package just be-
fore his ship took off. His likable
personality was just bubbling
over. and by the time the journey
across the river had been COM
pleted everybody was calling him
by his first name-such is the
Rogers personality; anything more
formal would seem out of place.

New Smuggling Area
Troubles Rhine Men

B~ERLIN.-P-The international
tzation of the Rhine by the Treaty
of Versailles has given smugglers
new working territory. Ships ar
irving from Dutch and French ports
are the chief culprits, their crews
smuggling into Germany French,
silk, cosmetics and cognacs. and to-
bacco and coffee from the Dutch
colonies.
Dutiable goods are sent in bond
across the border for customs in
spection at their destination. The
smugglers have contrived to emove
the seal during the voyage. extract
contraband articles and replace the
seal so ingeniously that il escapes
notice. The goods are concealed in
the bottom of coal bins, sailors
chests and hidden closets.
The English and French secret
service forces are working with the
German authorities TO trace and
root out the smuggiers.

Valley is inadequate to meet the

A good market is offered for all
eggs and broilers.
