down. Announcement after an
nouncement comes out telling of
a company cutting it from ten cents

to curtail their production. and not
throw Ii on the market IN Such
quantities
There u probably no business In
America controlled by n faction
as the oil market is controlled by
standard interests. Where the VAL
lev is concerned in the downward
trend Of prices for crude Is hat dur
ing such stages major companies
never open or encourage the open

but some few weeks ago West
Brownsville voted down the pro-
position. Those supposed TO know
the why and whereforeS have re-
marked that the boundaries laid out
in the other election did not suit the
voters. Others said the conditions
were not thoroughly understood or
the reaction would have been the
other way. Here Is hoping the vot-
ers see fit to come on into the fold
and give us a city united.

the thrill which for some unknown

their spines.
NEVER think OF the cavalry that
IN recollection does not come TO
~ mind Of the professional gamb-
