For the MANAGERS

THERE will be a very important
meeting OF the Lower Rio Grande
Valley Baseball league managers
at the Harrington city hall 8 p. m.
Thursday, it has been announced
by Vice President Ben Epstein.
Every manager in the league
should be present. One question TO
be put before the gathering will be
whether Point Isabel shall be
admitted to the circuit. A straw
vote was taken recently and the
outcome was four TO four. 1t
wouldn't be a bad idea for the
managers to bring along their
check books. Only Harley Jackson
Of McAllen has paid the 50 as
sessment made recently to pay off
debts incurred by the circuit. The
loop owes about SIS.
WE ARE forced to doff u bon
net to Chesty Stevens, who is
promoting the wrestling bouts at
Harrington. On July 7 he will give

The Fair Fans

MORE AND MORE women are
beginning to attend wrestling bouts.
according to Morris Sigel. Houston

there were few women interested
in wrestling. But today. I dare say
nearly 40 per cent Of our total
patronage comes from the fair

HOW TO KEEP BABY
 HAPPY ON HOLIDAY
Children'S, Bureau Issues Labor
 Day Advice to Mothers

Washington. Aug. 29 tP-Fewer crying babies on Labor day picnics and weekend excusions was the aim of the United States Children 5 bureau in issuing today special ad- vice to mothers. [ This counsel was: Carry baby in a big market bas- ket, where he can be cooler and more comfol table, instead of having him become hot and fretful in some ones arms. If autoing, carry him in a hammock.
 Don't let strangers play with him.
 Don't give him cakes, candies, bananas or sweet crackers to keep
 him quiet.
 Be sure of his water and milk supply before you start. Special precautions should be taken at present because of the drought sit uaton. It is best to carry a supply in vacuum bottles. Milk from vacuum bottle should not be used , after 4 hours.
 If these suggestions are followed, the child experts predicted, there will not only be happier picnics, but also less of an aftermath of ail- ments from improper food coupled with the fatigue and excitement of traNcling

Curtiss-R Reynolds Airport, Chicago, Aug. 29 R-Service is service any, where, but when it comes to servic- ing the Lockheed Sirius monoplane, belonging to Charles A. Lindbergh, 1t is something more than that.
 Around the big red and black iow-winged ship, a dozen airport at tendants worked today. They were dusting it, polishing it, inspecting it, refueling it. A dozen more super vised.
 Just when Lindbergh intended to leave the national air races was not announced. The attendants were taking no chances. The ship will be ready for him.
 Special Truck Used
 For an ordinary airplane, big gas tank truck just backs up and the gas is dumped in. For the Lind bergh s0p, the first truck to back up had only 15-foot hose, bring ing the rear wheels of the truck but five feet from the fabric.
 Hold" went the cry down the line From far corner of the airport sped another truck with a 25-foot hose.
 Three men took the hose nozzle to the tank of the ship. Two more held up the middle so that it might not touch any part of the wings.
 Then returned the uniformed pol tshers.
 Chicago. Aug. 29 Pl-Bulky trans port planes went through their paces 1t the national air races today with Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh among the spectators.

 There were two more dashes around the pylons for omen today. one for cabin ships of $50 cubic inch displacement and another for larger, more powerful open planes.

LIMIT ON AGRICULTURE


 Tt must be emphasized, how ever, that although there is much available agricultural land in Alas ka, capable of Supporting in time a large population the opportunity for rapid expansion is limited at the present. It is not advisable for people to rush pell mell into the Territory with the expectation of making a success at farming.
 Tt is not economical to ship farm products from Alaska to the states on account of great dis tances and high shipping costs. Agriculture in Alaska at present must be confined to the feeding of its own population. 1t is on this basis only that development can proceed.
 The man who goes to Alaska to enter farming as a business and who is most likely to succeed must be of pioneer spirit, who has vision and strength and is not easily dis couraged. He must know it's cli- mate. it's soil, it's crops, it's econo- mic conditions. Above all the new settler should have sufficient capi- tai to provide living expenses for a yea or more if settling on new land. The minimum recommended is $2,5oO per family.
