Over Forty Cars
Are Ticketed By
Traffic Officers

Watch your lights, is the advice
OF Cameron county traffic officers
who are endeavoring to rid the high
ways of the "one-eyed" cars and
those having no tail lights.
Over forty automobile drivers
have ben ticketed since the head
light campaign was inaugurated
Friday, and traffic officers report
a more general observance of the
state law which requires that every
motor vehicle appearing on the
highway be equipped with two head
lights and a tail light.
of course there have been nu-
merous protests and all kinds Of
excuses offered. and we explain that
it is up to them to make their ex-
plantations to the justice of the
peace" E. z. Sadler, traffic officer
said. 1.-THE law is rigid and the
traffic officer cannot accept excuses.
"As a result Of the campaign the
'one-eyed' a has nearly disappear
ed from Cameron county highways.
These cars constitute a menace to
all traffic, and the only way to get
rid of them is to ticket every driver"
Traffic officers state there will be
no let-up in the campaign and that
they will continue to ticket all driv-
ers Of cars which do not comply
with the law.

Personality!

When Ziegfeld selects them, you
can be sure they have personality.
This lovely New York girl, now APP
pearing in Rio Rita" has talent
and beauty, too-enhanced by Won
derful skin and the softest waves
of dark brown hair.
When friends ask me what ! do
to make my hair so soft and
gleamy," says Miss Hargrave, T
have to think twice to tell them, be-
cause / give so little time to it. The
method + use Is very popular among
New York girls. I just put a little
Danderine on my brush each time
I use it,. I am letting my hair grow:
but you'd never know it, Dander-
inc keeps it so soft and easy to ar
range and holds it in place SO Won
derfully. 1t gives my hair such a
silky, soft and luStrouS appearance,
friends r always commenting on
it. There isn't a trace Of dandruff
left now that I'm using Danderine
regularly. And it keeps my hair
and scalp so clean and comfortable
that I don't shampoo half as often
as I used to-"
Danderlne quickly removes that
oily film from your hair, brings out
its natural color, gives it more lus-
ire than brilliantine. 1t makes the
hair easy to dress; keeps it in place.
1t usually checks dandruff. 1t isn't
oily: doesn't show. All drug stores
have the generous 35c bottles. A
~delicately ~fragranced necessity for
the well-groomed girl!

ern two-story stucco and tile home

Joint Park Site
For San Benito,

Especial to The Herald.)

SAN BENI3O, March 26.-Pur-
chase of a joint park site between
the two cities, widening Of the pres
ent road connecting them. and i'm
provement of another road connect

might be taken up at the next meet
ing.
The next meeting is to be held in

BIG GAIN in
FRUIT TOTALS
Shipments From Valley Will
Pass 2,0O0-Car Mark,
Melden Predicts

MISSION, March 26.-Citrus fruit
shipments from the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, including both
straight cars and express. will to-
tai over 1900 cars, according to the
estimate of T. M. Melden, secretary
of the Texas Citrus Fruit Growers
exchange, which is operating pack
ing plants at Sharyland, Mercedes
and San Benito. Melden is fore
casting an increase of approximately
100 per cent next season If the
growing season is favorable.
The association closed its ninth
pool Wednesday of last week, and
has distributed $45 OILS to members
This was the largest pool of the
season, and netted growers 1918
cents per pound on all grades and
sizes of grapefruit and 1893 cents
per pound on oranges.
The average selling price per box
was $2.588 on all grades and sizes
OF grapefruit, making an average
net to growers of $1.458. Sizes from
54's to los averaged the highest,
S2.71 per box, and 80's $3.50.
In a circular to growers the eX-
change, in reporting the results of
the ninth pool, states:
I'VE are packing fruit now just
as rapidly as possible, running our
San Benito and Sharyland plants
to clean up all of the fruit before
the season closes. The Marsh Seed
less at this time is not Of very good
quality, so far as appearance thick
ness Of skin, and general carrying
qualities are concerned. OF course,
the eating quality is as good as it
has beer this season, but we are
experiencing considerable trouble in
fruit decaying in transit, and in
some cases are having to take slight
allowances because of this. We
attribute this largely to the fact
that fruit is fully matured, and is
OF rather lieh.cr weight thar ordi-
narily at this time of season. Ac-
cording to our plans, all SeedlesS
will be picked, and ell oranges pick
ed before the end of the season.
This will find a reasonable market.
but not the excessively nigh prices
which the grower has ben accus-
toned to receive for fruit shipped
during the latter part of the sea-
son.
There still remains in the hands
OF our growers quite a few cars of
Duncan grapefruit. This should be
PICKED the very last of next week
and put on the market, or in stor-
age, which ever condition appears
most practical after the fruit is re-
ceived. There is absolutely no rea-
Sonable market today for Duncan
grapefruit. w ehave had a car
OF Duncan grapefruit in storage for
60 days, and have tried repeatedly
10 move this a out at a price, but
can find no n interested in this
as long as we are shipping Marsh,
Seedless. We hope thai after the
Seedless is over, there will be a rea-
fruit"
