TRAINLOAD OF
TRUCK DOUBTED
San Benito G. of G. Manager
Believes Shipment
Not Wanted
Thy Sta4f Correspondent


SAN BENITO, Feb. i4.-Doubt
that the proposal to send a solid
trainload OF Valley vegetables to
the drought stricken areas Is
feasible Is expressed by j. =. Bell,
manager OF the San Benito Cham
Der OF Commerce.. IN a letter 70,
Mrs. James watson OF the Mis-
sion commercial organization. fol-
lowing the advancement Of the
idea by that body.
Mr.. Bells letter follows:
February 10. 1881
Mrs. James Watson. Secretary
Mission Chamber or Commerce
Mission. Texas
Dear Mrs. Watson:
Your idea OF sending a trainload
OF vegetables to the drought SUI
ferers IS very commendabie and 1t
would appear that such a PROPOSE
ton could adequately be worked
ont. however. in view OF the fact
that the Red Cross headquarters
at ST. Louis failed 70 answer two
kilograms sent them on succeeding
Gays that I had two carloads OF
cabbage and mixed vegetables ready
for shipment and urgently request
"a them to name point Of destina-
ton and make request for free
transportation.
I do not think that they would
be interested in paying any money
whatsoever for gathering and bad
ing these vegetables. After I had
handled the cars OF vegetables
through the Little Rock Chamber
OF Commerce the Red Cross then
wired three days later that they
were swamped with offers Of food
stuffs, 50 you can readily see I'M
der the circumstances that 7 do
not feel like sponsoring O move
ment 10 send a trainload Of vege-
tables 20 the drought sufferers
unless the Red Gross will first
agree to make the necessary re-
quest for transportation and give
us names OF towns where they
wish the vegetables sent.
II cost me about $500 In tele-
grams 10 handle the two a r sent
from san Benito. 7 am ready and
willing however. to do everything
possible in sending this trainload
OF vegetables to the drought suf-
ferers in the event the local Red
Cross or someone else will make
the necessary arrangements with
the st. Louis h~eadsuarters.
Yours very truly.
j. r. Bell.

Food Change Brings
Increase I'm Eggs

SAN BENITO. FEB. IA simple
change, from dry mash to wet.
solved the laying problem for a
flock Of 100 hens owned by Mrs.
Louis Halbersleben OF san Benito.
according TO Henry Alsmeyer. c0un-
~ farm agent.
The production or eggs was
negligible and Mrs. HalberSleben
tried various poultry remedies with
out success.
It was noticed that the hens were
not eating enough mash. The
amount of mash eaten by the hens
was increased simply BY wetting 1t
nj the suggestion OF Mr.. Alsmeyer.
The first week there was an in
crease in egg production The total
number OF eggs laid was 1856. Then
In successive weeks the production
jumped 10 155. ITO, 195 and $50.

TROPICAL LOVE THEME OF SHOW
 AT COLISEUM M
McLaglen in "A Devil with Women" Gets Them
 in Punches


 Way of All Men" with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., playing the lead, with Dorothy Revier, Noah Beery and Robert Edeson, will be seen at the Coliseum Theatre tonight for the last time. The plot theme portrays human emotions in a pro longed situation of great danger, and, as the victims believe, certain ultimate death. Every actor in this splendid cast gives a creditabie performance, and the story itself is decidedly different.
 Victor McLaglen Thursday
 "A Devil with Women opens at the Coliseum Thursday and con- tinueS Friday.
 McLaglen plays the part of a devil-may-care soldier of fortune in search of adventure and women. He gets plenty of both in the little Central American banana republic, and he also experiences plenty of rivalry for the smiles of the gay sencritas from Humphrey Bogart, late of the New York stage, in the role of an American, in Gen. tral America on business.
 In addition to Miss Maris and Luana Alcaniz, Mona Rico is an- other leading lady who makes Me- Laglen's heart miss several beats. She is the Mexican actress who jumped from a small extra role to featured parts in the short period of eight days.

 When Texas stopped for breath, the very veteran Polly, who has been around quite bit herself in her day, told the snickering habitues:
 That's all right folks, it's just me old mother"
 Texas, it seems, doesn't relish allusions to her having attained the age of majority, so Polly, by way of consolation, added: But gee, Tex, I think it's a great surprise-after that success . ful tour of France, you didn't come home with a Parisian &C., cent"

 Polly who came to New York to make personal appearances in one of the citadels of the cinema, would wait until the last show was over to go cavorting.. She seldom left the theater before then, even for supper.
 Between appearances her dress ing room was besieged by so many visitors that a ban on guests had to be declared at times, to permit the flicker funster a bit of rest. Getting off gags and effervescing for all corners is something of q strain.
