Particular attention Is to be Civ

The irrigation system will be OF
three types OF construction. con

Negotiations have been entered
into with the San Benito irrigation
district. and the Los FreSncs district.

The entire tract has a good natur-
al slope, and the soil is adapted to
drainage, so that it will not be diff
ficult TO furnish a permanent and
satisfactory irrigation and drainage
system.
Although this system will not be
completed for some time, the devel-
opment Is proceeding at once.

Rodgers Working On
Water DEVELOPMENT

City Engineer c. w. Rogers is
working on plans and estimates for
future Developments In BrownSville's
sewer and water sections.
Planning Is principally regarding
relief storm sewers and water main
extensions to connect dead ends.
Insertion OF valves Is also being
considered TO avoid troubles IN the
event Of leaks. A small section can
not be shut off under present ar
rangements.
II Is hoped some day to carry
more main storm sewers to the
resaca 20 relieve existing sewers
overloaded In consequence OF in
creased paved areas in the city
constructed within the past two
years.
Storm sewers. according TO plans,
would cost in the neighborhood Of

port would greatly increase activity

would IN practically every other

Despite their Virginia experience

year and have issued cordial in
vitaticns for democrats who voted
the republican presidential ticket

Texas republicans through their

q resolution inviting democrats who
supported Hoover to become per-

The democratic committee had
voted to bar as candidates such
democrats, but welcomed them back
as voters. Texas was one OF the

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 10
(N.A.N.A.) Authors like to get their
copy first hand, even in Hollywood.
Myron Pagan, playwright and writer of
stories, can do a gangster fllum now
with considerable authority.
He was standing at the entrance to
his hotel early this morning-the most
prominent hostelry, in the very heart of
Hollywood-when couple of bad men
invited him to go for a ride. The
invitation was extended at the point
OF gun, 1 may as well admit So
Myron Pagan didn't wait long about
the r. S. V. P. In less time than it
takes he was all comfortably tucked
In and motoring luXuriously about the
streets Of this village
It's quiet here after midnight. Pagan
had an hours ride before his host de-
cfded to take what he had-Some SOS
and a very nice watch-and let him go.
The police had thrown out a dragnet,
which consisted of four motor cycle op-
eratives stationed at big intersections
inspecting suspicious locking cars. Prob
ably the boys ehard this and moved
right into town for the evenings work.
While Germany RACES and tears over

destructive propaganda against the

back in Wondermsnt.
When Laemmle, sr. gave in to
1aemmle, jr., and agreed to make "All
Quiet" the pro-alIy faction which still
gets wrought up over national differ
enceS labeled the picture sheer Ger
man propaganda"
During its making tales came forth
and gained momentum, as most tales
do. One story said It's a belated justi-
flcation and glorification of Germany in
the war; another Its the first fair and
non-partisan thing made since the
war; still again, It's presented a side
of the story fairly and artisticalIy-a
side We really didn't know before"

One would hardly suspect that the

$2,o00,000 lunch business, but such is
the case. Twenty-nine years ago the

IDEA of furnishing luncheons to school
children at price which represented a
little more than the cost The scheme
was successful from the start and has
been extended to 81 schools and has al
most reached the point of a $4,000, 900

In the Stock Market
lsY Thomson s McKlnnonI

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Judging
farm the continued downward trend
of the major trade indices, such as
steel operations and car loadines,
we can not avoid the conclusion
that the attempt through the stock
market to discount a revival in
business in the early fall was i'll
advised.
Fortunately the bull efforts in this
insance did not assume the proper
tons of the Inflated campaign We
had In the spring. The brokers loan
account. it will be recalled, increased
81 600, 000.0 earlier in the year.
The summer campaign entailed
practically no expansion in the
loans. suggesting that public par
ticipation had been negligible and
extra speculative purchasing the
dominant factor.
The accepted average shows that
We are approaching the low point
of mid June. where outright buying
was literally attracted. We are
probably at another critical point.
If as now seems possible, the
damage to the corn crop has been
exaggerated. insofar as it affects
business. the whole complexion of
the stock market can very quickly
changA With any encouraging news.

BEARISH NEWS
CAUSES DIP IN
GRAIN MARKET
Heavy Pressure Forces Corn
and Wheat Down at
the Close.
BIZ Unitcd Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Wheat and
corn were under persistent and
heavy pressure on the Board OF
Trade today and while they fuctu-
ated widely, were mostly lower,
closing with sharp losses
Wheat had a rally early on east
ern buying, but hedging pressure,
commission house selling and a
weak Winnipeg market sent prices
turnbling again.
Corn suffered more than wheat,
though the market staged one rally
with wheat. The undertone was
rather firm on the declines, how
ever. but there was no aggressive
buying. Oats Travelled in a parallel
plane with the other grains.
Liverpool Weak
At the close wheat was 22s cents
to ga cents lower, corn was "a
cents to 27s cents lower and oats
were rs cents to "a cents lower
Provisions we're steady on meats and
Is to 81 points lower on lards.
Liverpool continued weak and
closed q cent lower. An aceunu-
lation Of overnight selling orders
caused the opening break, with the
weakness at Liverpool factor.
Foreign news and weather in the
Canadian northwest showed little
change. Cash prices were unchanged
to l cent lower. Receipts were es-
timated at 155 cars, early.
The rally brought corn prices back
to around the previous close at mid
morning, with the market showing
less independence of it's own and the
firmness in wheat having bracing
effect.
Shorts Cover
Some commission house buying
and short covering helped the early
recovery. Rains were not heavy and
the forecast was for fair and mod
erately warmer weather Cash
prices were unchanged to Y cent
higher. Receipts were estimated
early at 131 cars.
Oats we're practically unchanged
at the start and while selling off
later, we're rather strong at mid
session. There was little news and
a light trade. Cash prices we're I'M
changed to u cent lower. Receipts
were estimated at III cars.

CORN CROPS IN
MOST OF BELT
Northern States Benefited
by Cool Weather
and Rains.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Weekly
weather report issued by the United
States department Of agriculture to-
day said:
The weather continued generally
warm in the cotton belt with fur-
ther rain in the more eastern por-
ton and some good showers in parts
of the west, but in the northwest
and central sections droughty con-
ditions continued.
There we're some good rains in
the western half of Texas and a
few eastern localities and fairly
good cotton crop is practically made
in most of the southern third of the
state. though with local complaints
of shedding and small bolls.
Little Relief Seen
Showers and cooler weather have
been beneficial in parts of the
northern corn belt, but little or no
relief has yet been afforded i'll the
southern portion where the crop
continues to deteriorate.
In Kentucky. most of Ohio,
southern parts of Illinois and In
diana, rather generally in Missouri.
and in most of the southern great
plains, drought conditions were gen.
orally intensified and corn con-
tinued to lose ground.
I'm Ohio a few local areas we're
benefited by showers, while good
rain in much of northern Indiana
have caused considerable improve
ment. In Illinois there are marked
contrasts with deterioration ranging
from slight in parts of the north
to extremely heavy in the south.
Much Corn Lost
Much of the corn crop in Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma is beyond re-
covery, while deterioration continues
in Kansas, except in the northwest.
In Nebraska and South Dakota
showers we're more frequent and
corn made fair progress.
in many localities especially in
South Dakota and in extreme north
ern great plains, conditions contin-
ued less favorable. In Iowa there
has been further deterioration in
the west central counties, the north
west and few eastern sections,
with corn in some northeastern
counties good to excellent, hut much
of the southwest Door.
In the latter area since July /,
some places have had sixteen days
maximum temperatures of 100 de-
grees or higher.
