May Get Husband

Especial to The Herald,

HARLINGEN, Oct. SO.-Some lady
stands a good chance Of getting i
husband. all free for nothing. at the
Valley Fair this fall, If a plan on
which Manager John r. Floore was
figuring is carried out in all de
tails.
Manager Floore was figuring
something in this fashion: Well
IN the rolling pin throwing contest.
might give a half dozen rolling pins
for a prize. or in the hog calling
contest give a hog for a prize, or in
the checker tournament give a check
er board and some men. and in the
husband calling oontest-wait a
minute
Then h. figured out and saw that
some kind of a change would have
To be made, or his program Of prizes
would be Inconsistent.
1T would be hard to stage a hus-
band calling contest between wome2
who have no husbands. and foolish
to give a husband for a prize to n
woman who has one already, so I
probably will have to change tht
part OF IT,"

BARSDOWN ON
FRUIT
Department Lacks Ap-
preparation to En-
force Law

AUSTIN. Texas. Oct. s0.-The bars
are down for citrus fruits to move
into Texas from outside points, re-
CARELESS Of sugar contents.
House Bill No. So. passed by the
last session of the Texas legislature,
provided FOR a penalty Of not less
than $500 or by Imprisonment not
TO exceed six months. or both at the
discretion of the court, for anyone
TO ship grapefruit into Texas which
did not show a sugar content Of 10
per cent. or oranges with q sugar
content Of Z per cen between Sep
TENDER 1 and December Is Of each
year.
The passage Of the bill carried
with IL an appropriation for the
making Of inspections. but Governor
Moody vetoed the money part of the
program.
Recently, Commissioner of Agri-
culture George Il. Terrell announced
that the law was 10 be enforced and
parties from the outside would be
punished il they shipped citrus
fruit into Texas which did not meet
the Texas requirements for sugar
contents. This announcement for
the time being practically cut off the
movement Of Florida grapefruit into
Texas, as shippers in that state did
not want to run afoul of the Texas
law. their sugar requirement for cit
rus fruits being somewhat lower
than the Texas requirements. A
few cars OF grapefruit were brought
into Texas in advance of the Texas
grapefruit movement, but large ship
pers withheld shipments, being
afraid Of complications.
Last week Commissioner Terrell
was visited BY several Of the larger
receivers Of grapefruit, together
with their attorneys. and following
their appeal Mr.. Terrell decided not
to undertake TO enforce the rules and
regulations for this yea He said.
however, that he would make some
tests OF his Owl and give the matter
some further consideration in view
Of the i~nadequacy Of the legislation.
He further said a bill will be pre-
posed in the next legislature 70
make the Texas law practical and
effective.

Doll Hospital Keeps.
Five of Family BUSY

Louisville, Ky.-John Reccius' doll
hospital here is monument to the
sympathy its founder has with the
tragedies of childhood.
Skill and special surgical" instru-
ments bring life back into broken saw
dust bodies at the Louisville Doll hos
pital, founded many years ago by
ReccIus and his brother, German toy
dealers. From repairing the broken
and imperfect dolls in the top shop
the doll surgeons evolved their own
technique and designed instruments
without which many of their most
critical operations would be impos
sible.
Three sons and daughter-in-law
are engaged with Reccius the head
surgeon, In treating the sawdust pa
tients. Tiny teeth are replaced, bro.
ken ears and noses restored and new
eyes exchanged for old In the doll
sanitarium. Dolls come from as far
away as California for treatment
In spring and summer most of the
cases are nursery casualties, but from
October until Christmas old favorites
are sent In to be rejuvenated for the
holidays. Several extra hands are
added to the hospital staff during the
Christmas rush.
