HURT BATSELL or the Batsell-
MsaaS--sDoFtFng goods firm in
Br5NnsvilIe. wants to know how
many tarpon are caught in a season
along the adjacent coast.
So he is offering one dollar for
every bona fide report of a tarpon
caught. Wants names. addresses.

Batsell believes ss many As go
tsrpon are caught each season, per-
haps more, and he is willing to spend
O dollar for each TO get the facts.

coast offers more TO the sportsman

THE HIGHWAY between san Be
{ nito and the Hidalgo county line is
usually congested.
Trucks. cars, motorcycles, trucks
and trucks and cars.
Trucks travel somewhat slowly.
Ard faster moving passenger cars
back of them find the going slow
because traffic moving in the oppo-
site direction makes passing diff
cult and sometimes impossible.
Either that road should be doubled
In width, or there should be parallel
roads.
A road from Brownsville up the
river 70 the Hidalgo line near Santa
Maria, meeting q Hidalgo road there,
would help solve the situation.
A road leading from San Benito 70
the river and thence to LaFeria or
to Mercedes will also help.
Other proposed parallel roads will
also be Of great assistance in reduc-
ing the strain on the main highway.
