SAN BENITO CITY TEAM DEFEATS FT. BROWN BY 34 TO 0 I - , San Benito City Team :t4, Fori Brown ! 0. Before a fair-sixed crowd the city I fothall team of Sun Benito beat th« Fort Brown team 34 to 0 yesterday on | the Sa i Benito fie'.d. Showing the lark of practice and team work, the Fort Brown and city team of San Benito put up a fairly good exhibition of foot Lull, though the more experienced and faster San Benito team was too strong a combination for the soldier*. Resorting to the aerial route practi cally most of the game, the Saints pull ed some beautiful passes, Saunders to Woods, and N'orris to Slewart. The sol diers also resorted to the aerial route on numerous occasions, and made some big gains via this route. ('allahan proved a good ground ga’ner for Fort Brown, while the San Benito backfield men worked well. Saunders and Norris were the outstanding stars, while Knd men Stewart ami Bill Woods proved to he classy in their position*. In the first few minutes of play the Suints made a touchdown, when Suun AMERICAN ENTERPRISE TO OPEND STOCKYARDS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO MtAllU CITY, Oct. 1G.—Ap poximateiy 1,000 head of cattle, hogs, sheep and goat* are killed for meat in Mexico City daily, and of this number at least 08 percent are imported from either the United States or Argentina. Seventy per cent of the imported stock comes from the United States, usually four day* by train from the border, and the remainder is brought from South America on steamers that traverse the distance between Buenos Aires and Veracruz in 17 days. In view of these figures J. F. Primm and Lee Rush?!), both well known rattle men of the southwest, are just complet ing a stock)ard here which at pre sent has a capacity of 7,GOO head of stock and cun be enlarged as neces sity demnads. The stockyards, the first of the kind ever established in Mexico on modern pluns, adjoins the city slaughter nens and a working agree ment ha been made whereby all of the city kill is first received in the local yards and there prepared for market. Cold storage is an un known thing in Mexico, the natives preferring their meat fresh killed, but according to Mr. Primm. who is in active charge of the yards, a stor age plant will be started as soon as the other enterprises are safely on their feet. The inauguration of the American owned stockyard* is said by its back ers to be the forerunner of an earn est attempt by United States stock men to replenish the Mexican herds that have been depleted by years of revolution. • A bramlt of the Pure Bred I .ive E.ock Assoiiation of the Unite*} State* has been established in Mexico City and is offering its ser vice free of charge to rancher* and ' farmers in the selection of pure bred animals. Acordinjj to best available figures there were some lo.0U0.000 native i cattle in Mexico before the revolu-1 tion which started ten years ago. I There are leas than 0,000,000 now,! and. these are of low grade. Before ' tie revolution conservative estimate say there were 40.000.000 sheep and goats compared to the scant 7,000, 000 now roaming the hills. Hog rais ing has always been neglected und the number of swine in the coun try is almost negligible. Indicative of the natives nreference for meats other than pork is the fact that out of the 1,000 animals killed in Mexico City daily, less than 50 arc hogs—, and these to supply a city of a mil-, lion inhabitants. , In order ot facilitate shipments! from the United States and to off-1 set heavy consignments from Ar gentina, which are growing every | month, American cattle men have seerred numerous concessions from the Mexican government whereby animals may be brought into Mexico with a minimum of difficulty. In spection regulations have been re lat'd as much as posdble. and the railroads are making serious efforts to move stock trains on express schedule. Strange as it may seem, Argen tina cattle can be shipped to Mex ico City cheaper than can animals from south Texas, although the for mer stock does not compare in duality with that from the United States. Catle shipments from all foreign countries to Mexico during 1921 were more than 168,000 head of which 140,000 came from south Texas. Proves An Efficient Snake Dance Artist Guy Trent, member of the inaur lue firm of Greenslade Bros. and i tent of San Benito, and one of the best known baaehall enthusiasts of the alley, proved his efficiency at “snake dancing“ yesterday afternoon at San Benito, when he lead a snake dame between halve* at the San Benito-Fort Brown football game. A ntgro sitting in a far comer up on seeing Guy at the head of the rol umn remarked. “Mr. Trent sho’ do have de wiggle."

The game was cleanly played, and the soldiers' efforts were given a good hand by the Ran Benito fans. Man -ger Reed stated yesterday that uniforms had been ordered and th s week he intended having his men practice 1 daily.

Simkins, veteran professor of law of the University of Texas, af ter a five year que.-t for a perfect foot, has at la t given up in des pair. His interest in this search was aroused when a sculptor friend de clared a woman's perfect foot t:> be worth $.r»00 to him. T! e Judge immediately betook himself to the beach at Corpus Christi and there, lingering near the water’s edge on one pretense or another, he scrutin ized with discerning eyes every pair of feet that were at all easy to look upon. But none even gave prom ise of measuring up to his aesthetic standard, and after five summers of repeated disapr ointment he has be come convinced that the ideal of the perfect foot is only a myth. "Doggone it!" he exclaimed, "there I was in the mid't of all those women who didn’t have on ! alf enough in front and not half that much behind. And not one could show u perfect foot—but. bless pat, if 90. per cent of ’em didn’t have Isuch a bad attack of knocked-knce I that I was just ashamed for th: m. | They all appeared to be in need of j those knee-puds—like horses wear, i Bless my soul, it was terrible!" The Judge was asked if he didn't casually look ubout now and then— i a perfect foot might step in how I ever much unanticipated. "Bah. no,” he replied. “There’ll I never be another perfect foot as I long as women bind up the'r feet worse than the Chinese, and wear spikes that throw the* foe»t ct mpletc 1 ly out of sha’H* and are good for 1 nothing but digging up the earth. •No, I'm through. I’m going to re strict my activities down there on the beach to flirting with widow again. That’s the best pastime, af ter all.” |-—* ALIEN* MHn uci>i: FOR DEPORTATION Mounted River Guard John Pevv Inst week arrested John Fedora, a Bohemian alien, at Mission and he has been brought to the immigration station here where he is being held pending depor tat:on proceedings. Two more aliens, Spaniards, wore caught on the train nt King villo by Immigration Officer Frank Crockett and will be sent here for depor at ion.

OBJECTED TO STREET i LIGHTING PLAN IN 1816 { CHICAGO, C't. Id.—St»»et light n*T, now adonte I in almost every j city, village and hamlet of the na tion, brought out a storm of pro test in one New Knglnad village when it was proposed in 181fi, ac-j cording to the Illinois Committee on Public Utilities. Artificial illumination was an at tempt to interfere with the divine plan of the world which had preor lained that it should be dark dur ing the night time, the local paper pointed out editorially. Doctors of the village said emana tions of illuminating gas were in jurious. Lighted streets would, in duce people to remain late out of doors, thus leading to an increase of ailments by colds. Others declared the fear of dark ness would vanish ami drunkenness and deers v»»v would increase. T! *y argued that horses would be frighten ed ami imeves embotucned. Many argued that if streets were illuminated every night such con stant illumination would rob festive occasions of their charm. All kinds of flowers gel loved eicept wall flowers. \\hat is sadder than n poor imitation of being happy.
