Juice Requirement
Double Guarantee
fBv Staff Correspordentl

HARLINGEN. Oct. Effective
ness of the Juice content require
ments in p-sventing immature
grapefruit from moving out OF the
Valley Is illustrated BY the fact that
nearly all fruit which has suffi-
cient juice to pass tests also passes
the sugar-acid ratio requirements.
according TO w. A. Canon. mead Of
the state marketing division and
'.chief enforcer Of the green fruit
law.
The trade is receiving the fresh
fruit with enthusiasm and as far
as can be learned there have been
very few If any complaints as to
quality.
j. M. Del Curto. chief state en-
tomologist who was in charge Of
green fruit law enforcement last
year, said at the beginning Of the
present season that consumers are
more likely TO complain of lack Of
juice than because OF sourness
which can be remedied with sugar.

new DISTRICT
BILL RUSHED
BY Sen. POACE
Warns Will Try To
Secure Passage
This Week

AUSTIN. Oct. i-CP- Congress
sional redistricting, a controversial
subject in the regular and first
called sessions Of the legislature,
today threatened to crowd the
river bed bill from the limelight.
The house was bearing Town on
q river bed bill, passage Of which
Governor Ross S. Sterling believed
would reclaim millions Of barrels
Of oil for the state to enrich an
impoverished treasury. The house
mac resolved itself into a commit
tee OF the whole to discuss it.
Senator W. r. Poage Of Waco,
pu. the senate on notice this morn
Ing he Intended to push his re-
districting bill in an effort to get
1t through before adjournment. He
succeeded in having it set for spe-
cial order at 1880 q. m. today, after
Senator Carl Hardin OF Stephen
vile raised strenuous objections.
River Bed Bill Passes
The senate passed the bill au-
thorizing the state to drill for oil
In river beds after this special ses-
sion was extended four DAYS. Gov
ernor Sterling threatened TO call
another session If the extension
was not voted to consider the river
bill.
Protest against drilling the river
beds because Of the danger of
pollution was made to the house
by Charles Butler, member of the
Beaumont city council. Butler said
he feared drilling the bed would
pollute the river and endanger the
water supply OF several cities. He
declared the bill should be amended
10 permit only river beds in proven
oil territory 10 be developed. This
would conflne the provisions OF the
bill TO the Sabine river at present.
Fear Water Pollution
Butler feared that unless 1t was
confined to the Sabine river de-
velopment would be started on the
NecheS river, from -hich Beau
mont receives its water for do
mestic and irrigation purposes. Pol
luton OF the river would kill the
extensive rice fields in Jefierton
county he said.
Recommendation was made by
Butler that an agreement be enter
ed by the state with holders OF
leases adjoining the river whereby
the state would receive 70 lty for
oil under the bed without &C nee
essity Of having the bed drilled,
The royalty would be paid by own
ers of adjacent leases whose wells
would drain the river bed.

ANCIENT CITY
 GIVES THANKS

Kyritz, Bradenburg (UP) = This ancient city in the northwest part of the province Brandenburg has Thanksgiving celebration which is different.
 Every year on the last Monday in February each citizen who att tends the traditional morning church services Is given a loaf of bread in memory of the defense of the city against destruction by the Duke of Mecklenburg, and the repulse of Mecklenburg's riders.
 The feud between Mecklenburg. and the nobility of Prignitz, of which Kyritz is the capital. began in 1881. Mecklenburg's chief lieutenant, Won Bassewitz. made two unsuccessful at . tempts to capture the city. He was killed in the last one when he tried to enter the city by tunneling under the walls to the church, whence he planned to attack.
 Ills calculations miscarried, how ever. and the tunnel ended in the market place, where the burghers promptly slew him and all his men.
 The city council decreed perpetual commemoration of the victory. Each citizen now receives loaf of bread on the anniversary. Larger loaves are given to the poor. The town ore chestra plays old hymns from the church tower.

IN. H. ROAD HUMP
 WAS KEPT BUSY
$500 Freight Cars Were Classified Daily at
 Cedar Hill in 193O
TOTAL l,25O,OOO

An average of $500 freight cars per day were classified during the past year at the New Haven roal- roads Cedar Hill hump" Connecti- cuts main point of freight transfer. the years total being close to 1,250.- 900 cars. The building of the Cedar Hill yard about a dozen years ago and the creation of similar yards at various points of vantage throughout the system in later years are viewed by railway officials as one of the most important steps that has ever been taken toward the rapid trans- portation of freight.
 The hump system of classification makes 1t possible to receive a freight train, to break 1t up and to classify anywhere from 50 to 100 cars ac- cording to their respective destina- ton within one or two hours time. Under classiflcatio nmethods in vogue prior to the construction of the hump, the same operations often and involved the loss of that time in transporting the freight. Today, 1t takes an average of only 20 seconds per car.
 The hump receives it's name be- cause its operation depends upon a hump or artificial mound of earth over which cars are pushed to be switched and carried to their proper classification tracks by gravity. When train is received, the neces- sary paper work is accomplished while engines arc changed and tho cars are inspected. A complete sys- tenn of intercommunication links those in charge of the 880 acres of tracks. The cahs are uncoupled and pushed over the hump. Switches are thrown to guide them into their proper tracks, depending on their distination. It Is no longer necessary for men to ride the cars to operate the brakes. This Is now done by car retarders.
