the prizes OF grapefruit in this terri
tory on the average of one dollar
per box and this in the face of only
a fifteen to twenty cent freight diff
ferential in favor Of Texas fruit.
Know Valley Brands
Middle western retail produce men
say that they are willing TO pay a
dollar per box premium for Texas
grapefruit over Florida provided the
pack is comparable TO that of Florida.
1t should interest those who are Of
fering grapefruit on the market in
this territory that eve the smallest
dealers are very we'll acquainted with
the various brands that are being
used in the Valley and as a result
Of the inferior fruit that has been
offered under some of these brands
they are in very bad repute. while
others are considered as a guarantee
Of quality. IL Is safe to say that Rio
Grande Valley shippers are able 10
dispose Of most OF the inferior fruit
10 northern markets only because Of
the scarcity Of Texas grapefruit, and
il is equally true that this inferior
fruit is TO a very large degree dis
crediting Texas grapefruit among
many OF the most desirable custom
ers. II would be interesting to know
"a what extent the demand should
increase If Texas offered only high
class fruit for sale. IL the corsum-
ers are willing to pay a dollar per
box premium over Florida for the
fruit that is nov being shipped out
Of the Valley what would they pay
for uniformly high quality fruit?
South Texas growers and shippers
must look 70 the quality Of their
fruit and vegetables il they expect
TO meet the competition in the mid
die west.
California Gets Trade
Another interesting thing that has
been developed on this tour OF the
South Texas exhibit train il the fact
that California with a higher freight
rate Is supplying a very large per

It is safe to say that there will be no adverse comment on the ac- tions of German officer characters in Fo Films -Four Sons," when it appears on the screen of the Liberty Sunday
 And for good reason. Every man appearing in these interpretations is a former member of the German army. sii
 Following director John F6rd's stay in 4.urope, during which time he spent several months in Ger many, it was decided that only ex soldiers would be considered for these highly important atmospheric bits.
 Numbered among these players is His Royal Highness Archduke Leo pold of Austria, whose first screen appearance is made in the new Ford production, and Captain Carl von Hartman, former member of the German Air Service.
 In the important roles are Mar garet Mann, who plays the stellar role of the grandmother and Earle Foxe, noted screen comedian, who hurls his comic mask to the winds in his characterization of Won Stomm, villain extraordinary.

THIS HAS HAPPENED


SYBIL THORNE, Boston so.
city girl, concludes a whirIwind
romance by marrying on ship
board in Havana harbor-a man
whom she has known Just five
days-RICHARD EUSTIS, dan
gerous and fascinating.
With MABEL BLAKE, a So
cial worker, SybiI left Boston
for a trip to the tropics, to try
to reach a decision regarding
CRAIG NEWHALL, to whom
she has been engaged for some
months. NewhatI is a young
and wealthy bachelor, but SybiL,
years ago, fell desperately in
love with a soldier, JOHN LAW
RENEE.
When Lawrence was reported
missing in action SybiI took a
solemn vow never to tell anoth-
er man she loved him. II was
TO please her father, who was
very i'll, that she consented to
marry Craig Newhall. But when
her father died she began to
question the wisdom of her
promise. Then after the marri-
age of her brother TAD to VAL
ERIE WEST, a frivolous and
selfish girl, SybiI, utterly miser-
able, tells Craig she is going to
Cuba for a rest and peace of
mind.
Richard Eustis is aboard, and
SybiI finds neither rest nor
peace. 6ustis makes wild love
to her, but not until the last
night of the trip does he ask her
to marry him. He tells her that
he does not believe in marriage,
and that it kills love; but in or
der to have her, he would do
anything on earth.
In a mad moment, SybiI con-
sents. On their wedding night.

Then she put it in the basket, ant

Mr.. Moore asked a policeman
about it afterward. He wondered
if a girl could get her baby back
if she wanted to. But the police

mark of identification is DESTROY

the baby. And women who leave
their children r never permitted

and ~stretchingly lazily, interrupt

little cocktail. The first day"
And so the day passed-until

She saw the pity in his eyes.

She shrugged distastefully, and
her voice was cool and distant.

icily, and they walked in silence
down the gay promenade.
The crowd at Joe's was loud
and %boisterous, so that Sybil drew
back as they reached the corner

too noisy"
But Richard. pleasantly expan-
sive, would have his way. Just
one little drink, dear. You and

He pressed her arm persuasive

But it was bacardi he ordered
when they had found seats at the
crowded bar.
"Presidentes!" he called, and
turned again to Sybil, Il want you
to try these, dear. They're the
kickiest things in Cuba"
And when the bartender shook
them up and set them forth, froth-
