Ocean Waves In
Cameron Roads
Being Removed


HARLINGEN, Oct. 26.-One Of
the most famous stretches Of the
Ocean Waves" in Cameron coun-
tvs highway is due to pass out of
e~xistence-in fact the process of
elimination has been started.
This is the stretch from the city
Of H~arlingen 70 the Arroyo Colo
RADIO bridge.
A crew of workmen were on the
job this week, and the kick was be-
ing taken out of the waves on this
stretch Of road.
II Is slow work, apparently. The
crews work on one side of the high
way at n time. and slowly tear out
the old paving for a space of a half
foot or so on either side of the
junction of the concrete slabs,
where the buckling took place.
Then these places are filled with
paving material, and smoothed
down.
Although that part of the road
which has been repaired Is still
far from smooth, it is possible for
a a to pass over it at a speed Of
around 20 miles an hour without
the back seat being thrown through
the front windshield on the second
or third bump.

Cascara is Your
Doctors Choice

When physicians pronounce cascara
the PERFECT laxative-why expert
ment with things that lash the sys-
TEN into action? Cascara. you know,
is the bark Of a tree. A natural and
normal stimulus to the bowels.
The Indians. who used to chew this
bar, had no word in their language
that meant Constipation!
Perfect regularity is possible to-
day, and to all Of US. We have cas-
cara in ideal form; the very delight
ful-tasting candy Cascaret gives US
pure cascara. 1t has helped at least
a million people to habitual regu-
larity. Millions of others, unfor-
tunately, have stuck to stronger
things and acquired only the laxa-
tive habit.

Your first Cascaret will demon
strate how THOROUGH this gentle
laxative is. after all. Your next
surprise will be the length Of time
before you need another. Eventually,
you'll see that cascarizing tends to
make the bowels move thereafter Of

A modern drugstore must stock
many laxatives, but for your own
good the druggist would rather have
you ask for the inexpensive little box
of Cascarets than anything else.

TOBACCO is CUBA'S
MEDIUM OF TRADE

HAVANA, Cuba, November 3 (P).-
Tobacco, Cuba's second most important
crop, is its oldest and most colorful
medium of foreign trade.
From time immemorial the golden
weed has occupied prominent place in
Cuba's business. Columbus in 1892
found tobacco medium of exchange
between the Siboneys, the original
Cubans, who also used the weed for
smoking.
The yearly crop is estimated at
SO, 0,00000 and the output at 100000
bales. More than 80 per cent is shipped
to the United States. much of it to
cigar factories in Florida, Illinois and
New York, but some is sent to the
Argentine and little to Holland.
Growing tobacco is a lengthy process,
requiring careful cultivation, picking.
sun drying and curing. Seeds planted
in late Autumn are transferred when
the shoots, reach a height of inches
from hothouses to fields and later are
transplanted again at 15-inch intervals
in rows to apart.
Planters are forced to eternal vigilance

BUSINESS IS QUIET
AT D. C. MARKET
Trading Has Been Slow Dur
ing Week-SuppIieS Have
Been Ample.

Indications of brisk business this
week, the week preceding the election.
have been lacking. Indeed according
70 many merchants, trading has been
lighter than during prediction weeks
of past years. The reason for the slow
trading are not known or understood by
merchants. but they are we'll satisfied
that different story will be told after
the result of the election becomes
known.
It is the belief of some of the mer-
chants that the dull season is partly
due to the fact /that most of the per-
sons who travel at this season are lre-
naming at their respective homes 10

also is expressed thaS many Washing
tonians who have votes elsewhere are
away to cast their ballots.
Supplies of FoOdstuffS.
Dealers in all commodities have had
attractive supplies of foodstuffs this
week to offer the trade at prices termed
reasonable to cheap, especially fruits
and vegetables. Appearance of frost
several times the past week is reported
to have affected some of the growing
crops.
Tomato and sweet potato plants we're
most seriously affected, according to
reports, but the former vegetable was
not damaged, as most of the green
tomatoes of any size already had been
gathered to sell for picking purposes
or to be ripened indoors or under glass.
Wholesalers report a continued firm
condition of the butter and egg markets.
Butter prices showed a slight advance
during the week, egg prices remaining
practically unchanged. Releasing of
large quantities of eggs from storage at
80 cents is believed to be a factor in
preventing additional increases in prices
of fresh stock.
Receipts of fresh eggs have not been
very heavy the past week, dealers re-
ported, and consumers appear willing
to pay almost any price for best stock
Dealers are hoping prices will go no
higher before the Christmas holiday
season. realizing, however, that weather
conditions will have an important bear
ing upon the question.
Retailers were out early this morn
ing looking for the best commodities,
all wanting first pick, and wholesalers
were able to more than accommodate
them. Prices of most commodities we're
substantially the same as prices quoted
yesterday.

charge was 81 cents per. crate. Then
there was brokerage charge of cents
and a cost of Is cents for the crate, a
total of "a cents, leaving a margin of
cent for the grower"
1t is stated that in some instances
losses have been incurred by apple
growers shipping their fruit here when
the market was glutted. Some of the
fruit received at such times was placed
in storage to be held for better mar
ket. Apples continue plentiful and
cheap, and much cider is being received
from nearby orchards.
Fruit Prices.
Bananas are not so plentiful. A short
time ago the fruit was offered as low as
21a cents a pound, the price the past
few days advancing to 4.80. Increased
price has not lessened the demand to
any material extent.
Oranges are coming in light supplies
from Florida, prices as to size and con-
dition, covering wide range. Moderate
receipts of grapefruit, cranberrieS and
pears were reported the past few days.
Opening of the dredging season No
vember l resulted in increased activities
among oyster men in the waters of
Maryland and Virginia, and as soon
as cold weather sets in it is expected
that receipts in the local market will
increase. Dealers at Municipal Fish
Market the past few days had supplies
of fish both from the fresh and salt
waters of the Potomac.
Meters at points along the lower river
shipped white and yellow perch, catfish
and eels to local dealers, while near the
mouth of the river fairly large guam
titles of rockf1sh and trout were caught.
North Carolina dealers supplied the
local trade large quantities of jumping
mulletS, rated an excellent food fish,
that sold at ID cents pound for the
Friday trade. They also supplied blue
fish that sold at 20 and Norfolk spots
that brought IL cents pound.
