NEW ORLEANS, April ia
slightly better movement of green
vegetables from this shipping point
is expected during this week. Last
week trading was only fair with
ten cars reported to have moved
north. However. the new crop OF
carrots and beets will begin to
move this week. For this reason, 1t
is expected that the movement as
a whole will show marked improve
ment.
During the previous week dry
weather prevailed throughout the
producing centers. and dealers now
state that crops this spring will not
be as short as was formerly ex-
pected. Late paintings which are
just beginning to show above the
ground are said to look eXcep-
tionally good. especially the round
bean crop. which will start to move
between May / and Is. \
Prices in the green vegetable
market were generally steady. Car
rots, mustard greens and turnips
with green tops were slightly low
er. while plain parsley and bulk
spinach were higher. Collard
greens were about cleaned up and
generally were not quoted by ship
pers.
Green vegetable quotations based
on units of four bushel barrels,
with two bushel crates in proper
ton, were as follows early this
week: Shallots SIS, beets So, carrots

Eastland Man Tells of Mar.

Firing Squad

Ell PASO, April 11.-tFt-The ri
gors Of revolution appeared painful
today to only one of three Ameri-
can young men who experienced
them.
S. E. Gilbert. Is, of Eastland, Tex
as, was on this side of the Rio
Grande again, seeing his involun-
tary part in the Mexican rebellion
as a melancholy vicissitude. But

federal captors would release them
soon. They went into the rebel
army "just for fun"
Gilbert's story, told yesterday, was
a vivid melodrama. A laxative ac-
quaintance, he said. had caused him
to be abducted by rebels, nearly
starved, nearly mobbed, but finally
reprieved from a death sentence as
sessed by the insurgents.
En- route from Eastland to Ell
Paso Gilbert, an oil man, picked
up one butler. They went to Juar-
ez. There they met a d.. Kay. This
doctor took them for a ride-away
from Ell Paso and into hostile hands.
Butler, who had boasted, said Gil
bert, of having flown for the fed
erals and his narratives seemed to
connect him with responsibility for
bomb casualties at JimeneZ.
Robert Swain, Ell Paso, a member
of Rebel Gen. J. G. Escobar's staff,
ultimately interceded and saved
them from a firing squad after in

How Texans Voted on the Tariff

Pen Claude p Hudspeth halls from one Of the great
livestock producing districts Of America. He voted for
the Hawley republican tariff bill on final passage IN
the house. Rep. Augustus McCloskey Of BeXar county
speaking for the f4th congressional district, lined up
with Hudspeth for the Hawley bill and voted for it
on final passage. Rep. Mansfield had been called to
Texas on account Of illness. Rep. Fritz Lanham was
absent but paired against the bill. All the other mem
bers Of the delegation voted against the bill.
Rep. Garner had asked repeal Of the flexible tariff
provision and in place Of the tariff commission as now
constituted, would have created a tariff fact finding
commission responsible to congress alone. He lost.
Democrats voted for the Garner proposal and repub-
licans lined up against 1t. Now the fight has been
transferred to the senate.
Many republican congressman expect the senate to
reverse the house three cent rate on sugar. Garner
lost his battle for duties on long staple cotton and oil.
He insists that the senate should place a duty on long
staple. crude and jute. He opposed the provision Civ
ing a president tho power 10 raise or lower tariff rates.
He lost. His contention is that this Is a very ranger
Gus provision and is a~brogating the powers vested in
congress.
His arguments against the provision Is interesting:
There are many rates carried in this bill on manu-
featured products that are internationally too high;
but that is where the republican party rets its cam
oaign fund. or the major portion, from the rich man
ufacturer Of the north and east and. Of course. they
have a strange hold upon the republican party"
Garner has been a member Of the house IS years.
He vii have % to his credit in 1880. He participated
IN the making Of four great tariff laws. Now what
will happen TO the house bill when 90 senators tackle
The reconstruction job or rather the revision Of the
work Of the house. There is a stumbling block.
A majority Of the senator's voted for the export de-
hzlture plan. They may attach the plan as a rider 70
the house bill and then the making Of copy will be vol
luminous and the staid and dignified Congressional
Record will be expanded to unwonted proportions.

Financing State Highways

The problem Of providing funds for the State High
way Commission with which to carry on the WORK Oh
constructing a connected system Of main rcaas
throughout Texas viii be one Of the most serious prob
lens to face the legislature during the special session
opening Monday.
Rep. Leonard Tlloston Of Austin county has a pro-
gram which he urged before the past two sessions
Communications sent to county judges OF Texas one
Of which was received by Judge o. G. Dancy here re-
veals he will again urge the same measure.
Not the least Of its merits is that II is simple and
workable.
We're Il how they tell about Il in his letter 70 The
Judge and others interested in the cause of more
money for state highways:
"cur nropram for a lust registration fee bill and an
increase in the gasoline tax to four cents failed in the
special session lust closing. This failure was due to
the fight made for a fifty per cent reduction IN regis
tration fees, which would deny the counties any n
crease allotment now or hereafter, ard would in some
instances take away a part Of the amount the counties
are now getting. The failure Of the gasoline tax was
due TO opposition both Of gasoline distributors ana
the opposition Of those who insisted upon the extreme
reduction in registration fees being passed before any
increase was made in the gasoline tax. The natural
result OF these contentious was the inability ~ get
an agreement on how much the gasoline tax shouia
be. and how much the reduction in registration ICES
should be and how these fees would be divided.
MY original program is the best that I THINK can
Re arranged. This is for a gasoline tax az four cents
ali 70 90 70 the State Highway Department For the
retention Of registration fees on trucks and buses ana
all the commercial end OF motor vehicles at tho pres
ent schedule. and all these to 20 to the state Highway
Department. For a % per cent reduction on the fees
collected from passenger cars or domestic cars, and ell
to be allowed to the counties up TO a maximum Of
s2o0ooo00.
This arrangement gave the state the necessary mini
mum income for the Highway department budget:
gave the counties an increase Of something like one
third over the present allotment; and reduced the
registration fees on passenger cars one-fifth. This Is
a fair adjustment Of all considerations.

Loss Of balance, dizziness. gid
dinesS are all symptoms Of some un-
DERIVING condition needing atten-
ton. All these are included In the
general term vertigo" for which
there are many causes.
There is a form Of vertigo asSoci-
ated with stomach trouble. In dys-
pepSia. dizziness is rather a common
symptom. 1T Is like the form Of
vertigo coming from ear trouble. but
Is lever accompanied by noises in
the ear.
In chronic stomach trouble there
are frequently constipation. coated
tongue. belching Of gas, general
miserable feeling, down-heartedness.
dull headache and palpitation Of the
heart. Associated with these symp-
tones there may be frequent attacks
Of vertigo.
1t was observed by many physi-
clans that occasionally a patient
would suffer from vertigo for a time
following influenza. This was due.
In all probability. to a passing con-
gestion Of the internal ear.
In hardening Of the arteries. high
blood pressure, or in congestion Of
the head from any u there may
be occasional attacks Of dizziness.
Likewise the symptom Is found IN
some forms Of heart disease. In
nervous exhaustion II may be met.
If there is any failure Of team
work In the eyes. muscular weak
ness. or eye strain. vertigo may
result. In all obscure cases the eyes
and ears must be examined.
From what I told YOU about YER
tigo. YOU will see that n Is merely a
symptom. It is not q disease. I'm
comfortable IS il Is. Ii NAV not in
dictate serious disease Of any part Of
the body.
But continued attacks Of vertigo
show that something Is wrong.
Either you are working too hard
and need a rest. or the elimination
Of waste from your body is inter
fered with. or your eyes or. ears re-
nuire attention. The heart, kidneys.
intestinal canal. and skin must be
I considered.
Don't WORRY about the vertigo,
but seek TO find its cause. When
that is removed, the dizziness will
disappear Of its nvn accord.
