Privilege Is Granted
Valley Shippers for

fecting the through rate. and this has
proved Of great value to Valley ship

points where the desired mixtures
are available. IL has also proved az
considerable value TO Valley dealers
IN seed potatoes who are enabled to
hold their potatoes in storage with
out deterioration or extra freight
cost.
When the storage in transit priv
ilege was originally granted. il was
published in the tariffs to expire

the Southwestern Freight Bureau.
Valley shippers were unanimous in
requesting an extension Of the priv
ileges conferred under this order.
and the Southwestern roads offered
no objection. Under the new ruling
the privilege will be in force until
the end Of the next shipping season,
AID by that time il is expected 4 be
made permanent.

HOW TO SERVE ORANGES

Now that the breakfast orange is a
habit in millions of homes, housewives
may be prepared at this seasonal
of serving ii so that the healthful ap-
petizer may appear in new garb
from morning to morning
The juice may be served in an at
tractive glass-preferably set in a
dish of crushed ice. The orange may
be served in two halves, with the pulp
loosened so that it may be lifted with
spoon.
Orange slices may be served one
day, while orange segments may be
served the next. The orange may be
even cut into small sections and
served with the skin attached to each
segment, so that each portion may be
lifted and separated from the skin
with the teeth.
Or, as a special dish, Sliced Oranges,
Canadienne, may be served, where
slices of orange are placed in glass
sherbet dish and covered with two
tablespoons of maple syrup Both
fruit and maple syrup should be very
cold.

Mr.. Graham stated that construction
of the Boca Chica road would en-
nance the value Of all lands along the
road TO some extent and greatly en-
nance the value Of the beach property.
Defendants asserted that the entire
tract was private property and that
no park site at the beach had been
dedicated to the county. Judge Taylor
stating that no such park site would
be dedicated until the highway TO the
beach is assured.

An effort BY the defendant and in

that to admit the testimony would
