ed, TO pay the certificates, every
enc OF which represents q proper
and honorable debt this government
owes a World War veteran-a debt
that Is now past due.
IF the government had arrang-

ans on the same basis that II set
tied with war contractors, the rail-
roads, the munition manufacturer
ers, and those others who furnish
ed the supplies OF war, the full face

been paid almost four years ago.
II is captious, therefore. to say that
the debt Is not now past due. and
that we are unjustified In pressing
for its settlement Immediately and
fully"
Belgrano said that the American

McALIlEN, June 29.-Banks Mill
er Corn company has announced
that they viii be ready to handle
corn at all their plants except the
Port Isabel Beating elevator by the
middle Of the week or shortly after
July 4.
Considerable corn should have
been picked, shelled and dried al
ready, and some placed in the mar
ket. but Mr.. Miller said he did not
want to take any chances on ship
ping immature corn that might
shrink or shrivel in the drying pro-
cess. and because Of its grade and
quality effect the price CT the entire
crop.
The corn must be thoroughly ma
ture and the kernel dry enough that
the tip ends will not be broken of
in Smelling, or will in any way be
damaged by the machinery In she'll
ing. After sheiling, the corn II Is
run through large hot blast dryers
and is steamed to r point where TIE
moisture vepcrizes, around 200 de-
grees Y. The corn then passes intc
the Iooling cEaLnber. vnere the
steam and vapor Is drawn off BY
tremendous air blasts, bringing II
Rack down to normal air tempera-
ture. and at the same time taking OUT
the surplus moisture which the kerr
mel contained. which prepares and
conditions 1t for shipment TO mr.
ket. This process also kills all weevil
eggs or larvae in the corn, and It is
thoroughly sterilized. being in q
i~irst-class condition to carry indef-
initely without weevilS or detericra-
ton from other causes.
All growers having corn that Is
dry enough to shell off the cob by
hand may bring samples to the
Adams Gardens office, Alamo OF
Fharr. where a moisture test will be
made by Mr.. Kempe. Federal grain
inspector. TO- determine moisture
content. Miller has made IL clear
that when farmers bring In corr
with a surplus Of moisture in II Of.
Tor example. 6 per cent. they will
be locked the amount Of the actual
sur1uS moisture In the corn
which will cause a loss in weight.
This Is actual moisture which will
cry out in the field IL the corn Il left
TO mature in its normal way.
Miller has invited all growers 10
visit some Of the plants and talk TO
the inspectors and representatives
about any feature Of this deal which
they do not understand.

position to take advantage OF the
proposed Farm-to-Market road
building program" Judge Dancy
states. Sooner or later we will have
to enlarge our county road system,
and it will be to our advantage to
designate these roads now-even II
we have to wait ten years before
they car be constructed"
Il feel that the Farm-to-Market
roads present us an opportunity
which we should not pass, and we
should be ready to get the maxim
UNI for Cameron county regardless
OF how the cat jumped The sug-
gestions I make are purely for loca-
ton of roads alone and getting
the rights-of-way therefor. I am not
suggesting the expenditure Of any
thing more than the minimum
amount Of money at this time" the
judge states.
In a communication to the COM
miSsioners, Judge Dancy pointed
out the following roads which he
thought should be designated:
Port Isabel Precinct
Beginning where State Highway
100 touches the bay to Laguna Vista
park, TO the Arroyo Colorado to the
east line Of the San Benito precinct
northeast Of Rio Hondo with
branches to any parks that may be
dedicated along the line.
There would be a chance of get
ting CCC camps to do this work Of
preparing this road, the judge points
out.
An east and west road extending
from the east line of the San BENZ
to precinct 10 a point midway be-
tween the Box Ranch and the Las
YeScaS road.
Brownsville Precinct
Extension OF the Coffee-Port road
to the Military road.
The Oklahoma Avenue Drive, ex-
tending fom the end Of the con-
crete at Southwest across the Boca
Chica road to the Port.
A connection between the Boca
Chica highway and the SouthmoSt
road by way Of the airport.
A connection between the limits
Of Fort Brown and the Southwest
highway.
A road between Brownsville and
San Benito south Of the Missouri
Pacific railroad.
A road from Olmito to the Mill
tary highway.
San BenitO Precinct
Extension Of State Highway 100
In the nearest and most practical
way TO the Military road.
Rio Hondo north road extended
from Fernando east by way Of
Fields Corner across the drainage
ditch so as to biSect and intersect
what is called the Olmito North
road.
Parallel road between San Benito
and Harrington.
Road from Sam Houston boule-
ward TO R~angerville.
Grading and structures from RAY
mondville to the Military road BY
way OF Rangerville.
HarIingen Precinct
AANAts says JuQbE DdLlCN. u
where the real opportunity lies. I
am not going to say where these
roads should be located, but the
settling Of the Ojo de Aqua suit
presents an opportunity for the
county to get in ahead of develop
ment and make proper locations. I
think We should have both north
and south as we'll as east and west
roads through this territory at about
three mile intervals.
Among these roads we should
have a road p%aralleling the Arroyo
Colorado. This should be at least
100 feet wide with a view to beauti-
fication, hunting, fishing, bathing.
etc"
The commissioners court has been
giving Judge Dancy's proposal con-
Sideration and the matter will likely
be given further consideration at a
meeting To be held Monday.

400 PERSONS
FALL FEET
into WATERS
Pavilion Collapses To
Hurl Screaming Nj O b
Into Shallow Creek
Below

WILKES BARRE, Pa, June 20.
R-Nearly 400 men. women and
children were plunged more than 80
feet into the shallow waters of Hun
lock Greek at Crops Glen Sstur-
day afternoon when the old barn
dance pavilion in which a "baby con-
test" was being conducted, collaps-
ed.
More than 100 were injured. That
no one was killed amazed officers
who hurried to the place when the
alarm was given.
The injuries Of several Of those
caught in the collapse are consider
ed grave.
Is Screaming Mass
From a yet undetermined cause,
probably too heavy a weight result
ing from the large attendance at the
contest, the entire structure plung-
ed from its eminence into the creek,
tossing men. women and children
into a screaming, writhing mass.
Panic ensued as parents cried out
for their children and other loved
ones, the while struggling to save
themselves.
When county detectives arrived
1t required more than an hour to
quiet the victims Of the crash.
Along the banks OF the creek are
jagged rocks, and upon these many
persons were dropped.
The collapse occurred while the
judging OF babies at the first an
nual outing OF. the Nanticoke and
Hanover branches Of the Luzerne
County Unemployed League was In
progress
Some May Die
The hysterical hundreds who were
caught In the collapse and escaped
injury were running wildly about
through the park when officers ar
rived All yer seeking relatives or
friends.
Emergency calls brought ambul-
ances and doctors from all nearby
towns.
How such a collapse should &C.
cur and yet cause no deaths was,
as one officer said, "unexplain-
able"
When some Semblance Of order
was obtained and doctors had had
o chance to make a hurried survey
OF the injured 1t was stated def
initely that no one had been killed
outright and that no one had drown
ed.
The injuries suffered by some Of
the persons caught in the collapse,
however. we're said to be Of such a
nature as TO leave their fate in
doubt.
