lSt Member for Christiansted Country

Honorable LIST Member for C~hrisuansted
Country District has said, bot there is
one re mark of his | want to say a word
upon. He says that the Government does
not accept second or third mortgages and
l want to point that this is a different
matter TO an ordinary loan. AS was one
OF the members elected in 1916 to advance
loans to prOnarty owners | know how the
Danish Government did it Whatever
mortgage there was on a property made
no difference because it was . case OF re-
lief, and this is a case Of relief and should
be handled as such. | will admit that the
amount is very very small, but 1t is the
best that could be done under existing
circumstances, and | trust it will prove a
relief to some. Although to some | admit
1t viii be like giving a mar 20 cents when
be is in need of 81 00. lie ones that are
going to be hard hit are the middle class.

tary say that they are going to be out of
luck, and that is true. Those who are
unable to take care of themselves will be

2ud Member for Frederiksted BROW:
MIR. Chairman, That's why | ask the
question whether the Planters would al

Clever Scheme
of COncealment

One of the cleverest of all
schemes for concealing liquors
unearthed by government agents
during recent years, was that
employed by Ferguson.
In the corner of a room of
his house was a wooden cab
met containing two large draw
ers, which had been built es-
pecially for the place.
The drawers we're filled with
articles of wearing apparel as
is customary Either of the
drawers could be opened and
nothing seen to arouse sus-
picion Only when both drawers
were entirely removed from the
cabinet, was a trap door in
the floor exposed
This trap door gave entrance
to the basement in which the
stock of liquors was concealed
and was the only means of
entrance.
1t is assumed that the officers
were able to locate the trap
door and seize the liquor be-
cause of advance information
as to the method of conceal
ment

VARIOUS DOINGS
OF VALLEY FOLK

Miss Rose Cox Of Salt Lake City
spent the week end with her
Uncle J. I. Earl and family She
seemed TO enjoy herself in spite
Of the extremely hot weather.
She LETT for home Sunday.
Mr.. owen Cox OF St. George,
who has been trucking for the
Sand Mine Company at Kaolin,
left Saturday morning for his
home in St. George Utah. He
returned Sunday TO be prepared
when the mine started to work
again.
Mr.. H. Lee Shamblin of Tenne-
see, who has been staying in the
valley the past few weeks, left
Friday for San Bernardino. Mr..
Shalblin was very badly afflicted
with tuberculosis, The disease
being all thru his body He was
very near death when he came
into the valley. With special care
he could have survived here but
he was too far gone to regain his
strength alone. The county paid
his fare to San Bernardino and
there he Will be placed in a free
hospital for tuberculosis patients
maintained by wealthy men Of
California. He has wife and two
children in Tennessee.
The melon production is drop
ping off in the valley. The rush is
over and now everyone is wait
ing to see what money they have
made. Mr.. James Marshall the
Smith Hancock agent for the
valley states that the prices are
good and that Mr.. Smith writes
that the farmers in the valley
should make a little money in
the melons this year During the
rush season as high as ten car
loads of melons went out in one
day. This amounts to more than
three thousand crates per day.
With the market fair one should
think that the men would make
some money.
Sheriff R. Ct. McCubrey was in
Overton Friday afternoon to see
if he could find anything about
the robbery of the Anderson Mer-
camille Company. He questioned
two suspects but found nothing
definite concerning their part in
the case. The names of the two
boys are withheld because it is
probable that they are innocent
and it wouldn't be right to accuse
them falsely. Mr. Alvin Anderson
is almost positive that the job
was committed by boys but he is
not sure it was done by any GER
tain ones. He is trying hard TO
find a clue but most of his efforts
have failed. He still hopes TO
catch the thief though. SO do
all the rest of the citizens OF the
valley for it isn't right to have
common thieves within our midst
