Quota Half Raised
McALLEN. April 23—With the sum
of $4,850 having been raised McAllen
citizens are now well past the half
way mark in their drive for a
$75,000 quota to help finance a
$300,000 eleven-story hotel here.
Additional committees are now at
work on the canvass and even better
results are expected shortly, it is
said by leaders j* the drive.
The proposition was made by M.
R. Nelson, local contractor, is that
he will put up $75,000 if local citi
zens will subscribe a like amount,
and making a loan of $150,000 to
complete the $300,000, a modern
eleven story hotel building will be
erected on South Main street here
An additional $5,000 was raised
in new and doubled subscriptions
at a local mass meeting.
According to reports, several large
organizations are awaiting manifes
tation of the sentiment of the local
people before subscribing to large
blocks of stock, and another large
concern is planning to locate in
McAllen, pending the absolute as
surance of the building of the hotel.
STOCKHOLM—(£*)—The Swedish
tobacco monopoly last year netted

Game Cock Attacks
Census Enumerator
DEL RIO, April 24.—<;P>—Curious
experiences with hard-boiled people
have geen related by census enum
erators. Now a new one has been
told by Miss Roma B. Stallknecht.
who said she came upon a violator
of oensus laws, that could not be
fined.
She was knocking on a door, and
felt a blow on the ankles that
caused her to lose her balance. She
received several more stinging blows
before discovering her assailant—a
game cock. The census portfolio,
which she used as a shield for de
fense. apparently served the same
purpose that a red blanket does for
a toreador—it incited the cock to
fight with added vigor.
Several rounds were fought be
fore a kind hearted neighbor start
ed the rescue with a broom—to ar
rive on the scene of battle just as
the cockerel made a dignified and
nonchalant exit. ‘
Goat Ears Bring ‘Bad
Business’ Court Plea
HOUSTON. April 24—Lend
ear. please, to the story of Jesus
Rodriguez and goat ears and how
they brough misfortune upon him.
Rodriguez smuggled into the
country 47 goat skins, the United
states government alleged.
Its lawful agents seized the Ro
driguez hides and sold them for
$1935.
There was from Rodriguez a loud
protest. These hides, he said, came
from bonafide American goats. But
there had been a mistake some
where. for on each ear there wes a
mark traced to a Mexican ranch.
FARMERS USE
MORE LEGUMES
Soil Improvement Last Year
Interested Many
Men
The farmers of Cameron county
are planting annually more legumes
for soil improvement as a result
their crop yields are increasing. The
citrus grove owners who have plant
ed cow peas are not only increasing
the water holding capacity of their
soils, but are increasing the orchard
yields as well. In 1921 California
citrus grove owners would not plant
legumes because it would cost them
too much money as they thought
their water costs would be too high.
Today these same orchard owners
are buying alfalfa at $15 or more
per ton to be hauled and disced
under for soil improvement. Many
of the land owners of Cameron
county are becoming alert as to
their soil needs and instead of bor
rowing more than they are return
ing. they are planting legumes. Cow
peas should be planted as quickly
as possible so that the soil may be
benefited as much as possible.
Last year the following men en
rolled in the county agent s office
as “Soil Improvement Farmers” as
all of them planted legumes. Their
names and post office addresses are
