RELO PLANS
TAKING SHAPE
Secretary Hyde to Back
Move for Feed Loan
For Livestock
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 —<&>—
Despite s less pessimistic view of
the extent of drought damage by
Secretary Hyde, official observa
tions on the protracted dry wave
continued gloomy today as the gov
ernment forged ahead with relief
plans.
J. B. Klncer, chief of the divis
ion of agricultural meteorlory, said
not only the end of the drought was
not In sight but it was most unlike
ly It would be broken simultaneous
ly In many places.
“I don't like calling this a catas
trophe but I don't like to think
what may happen if the drought
Isn't broken within the next two
weeks,’ he said.
The official weather bureau report
of conditions added: "There is no
Indication at the present timf of a
break in the warm weather.”
While the general relief plans of
the administration awaited returns
from the nation county-by-county
survey of the agriculture depart
ment—promised for Monday — a
clear cut policy of furnishing credit
to the cattle grower for the pur
chase of feed was put forward by
Carl Williams of the far mboard.
His plan is not yet farm board
policy and cannot be put into force
until other members of the board re
turn here for a conference. How
ever, it was understood to be sup
ported by grain stabilization offi
cials.
Williams proposes that feed dis
tribution agencies, or other corpo
rations formed for the purpose, un
derwrite grain to be delivered to
Individuals in exchange for the
latter s notes, properly endorsed
and accompanied by sufficient col
lateral. Trie grain would be fur
nished In car lots at market prices
by the grain stabilization -orpora
tion, arranging easy payments over
one or two years. This grain, he
said, would be replaced out of the
1930 cror In uniformity with the
policy of not placing the corpora
tion’s stocks on the market in com
petition with current gram. The
whole project could be put into ef
fect In four days, he said.
The department of agriculture,
meanwhile, was sending question
naires to all county farm agents
asking for the number of families
needing aid to carry livestock over
the winter and the quantity of feed
available nearby. The agents also
were asked to suggest measures of
relief.

The meeting was called to out
line a fall sales campaign which

aales.

GREAT SUCCESS FORESEEN FOR
KERMESSE FRIDAY EVENING
Final touches are being made by
the committees appointed by the
United Activities of the Immaculate
Conception church to perfecting the
arrangements for the opening of
the grand annual Kermesse tomor
row night at the Immaculate Con
ception Parochial school grounds,
on Jefferson between 14th and 15th
streets.
The proceeds of this Kermesse
will be used to pay off the debt on
the building site of the proposed
new St. Joseph's church in west
Brownsville. The committee on ar
rangements has labored with un
tiring zeal to make this monster
affair the biggest and grandest oi
the year in Brownsville, and the ex
tensive plans, so intricate for so
huge an undertaking, are being fill
ed to the slightest detail. All is in
readiness for the grand opening to
morrow.
Numerous are the attractions of
fered Brownsville, and the enter
tainment is so varied that even the
most particular shall find means
of enjoyment at this monster fes
tival, It was said. On the list of
treats that await the public, is a
choice program of music to be ren
dered by the Municipal band under
the leadership of Mr Perez, director
of the well-known St . Josephs
college band.
Much to Eat
The ladies of the parish in charge
of the comestibles are vieing witn
one another in preparing a menu
of select Mexican dishes including
a variety of fancy meat salads and
other dishes prepared in real Mex
ican style. There will te' - l>mchr?n
booth where choice delicacies will
be offered to appease *v'n appetites
of the epicures, whi’e the ladies
from Ramireno are exerting to the
utmost their proficiency in the cul
inary art, in preparing dainties anc
appetizers to tickle the palates ol
the most exacting. Refreshments ol
all kinds will be served, including
ice cream, sodas, fancy pastry anc
iruits.
The Mexican curio and flowei
booths have ma »y attractive novel
ties and souvenirs on hand. Tht
Izaak Waltons can divert them
selves to their heart's content a;
I the fishpond. Am"n" the other at
tractions the Red Cross and Post
Office will be much in evidence.
Miss Curio Withdraws
The beauty contest which ha:
created such interest and enthus
iasm during the past three weeks
will be carried ond uring the three
nights of the Kermesse. Great act
ivity is expected from the admirers
and well-wishers of the contestants
The constituents of each candidate
are fighting tooth and nail that
their respective choice carry off tilt
coveted honor and prize.
It is regretted that due to the
grave illness of a near and dear rel
ative of Miss Estella Cueto, it was
deemed necessary to withdraw her
name from the list of —‘--‘ints.
The candidates on the firing line
are the Misses Ehsa Barreda. Gra
ciela Blake, Herminii Garibay and
Ernestma Givens. The race up to
now has been so '••-ulv contested
that it is very difficult to select
even a probable winner.
The popularity contest has cre
ated much interest and much ex
citement is predicted from this
source.
If the results are in proportion
to the efforts expended bv the self
sacrificing parishioners of the Im
maculate Conception church, ttv
Kermesse will be a huge success.
I MOVIE SIDELIGHTS |
CAPITOL
Here’s a laugh! Jack Oakie lr
“The Sap from Syracuse’’ at the
Capitol theatre, starting Friday foi
2 days.
Those who saw Jack Oakie in his
first starring picture, “The Social
Lion,’’ will need no introduction tc
the grin and chin boy. nor any other
inducement to set a date to see
this hilarious highlight of the mov
ie season In town.
Oakie ic the “cheerful giver" ol
fun whose first appearance in “Close
Harmony" was an instantaneous
signal of joy to come. In “The Sap
from Syracuse," he has, by far, his
best role to date, as the naive
country boy who thinks the world
is his "oyster." Off to see Europe,
he meets a lovely charmer in dis
tress. in the person of Ginger Rog
ers. the cuddlesome cutie of “Young
Man of Manhattan.” Mistaken for
a prominent engineer, traveling in
cognito. Oakie cannot convince Gin
ger of his real identity. He is feted
and regaled by everyone on the ship.
Ginger engages him to rescue her
from two fake engineers who ere
trying to obtain possession of a mine
she owns in the Baikars. How Oak
ie proves his sincerity, and help., and
wins the girl is a rousing serits of
laugh moments.
“The Sap from Syracuse" is
adapted from the stage comedv of
the same name that kept New York
theatre-goers in spasms of mirth
during the run of the play last sea
son. Many supporting players in
the screen version of the "fun-hit
were members of the orig nal New
York stage cast. And A. Edward
Sutherland, who piloted Oakie in
“The Social Lion,” directed this one
too.
No Dakie starring picture is com
| plete without a song put over by
the star in his own inimitable way.
Those who remember his singing of
"Alma Mammy” in “Sweetie” will
look forward to hearing him sing “I
Wish I Could Sing a Love Song” in
"The Sap from Syracuse.”
AT QUEEN
The day of W'estern pictures is
far from being over, judging from
j the enthusiastic reception accorded
Tiffany’s all-talking feature, “Near
the Rainbow’s Ena,” starrir^
j Steele, which opens JV *«y at the
Queen theatre.
"Near the Rainbow's End” is a
story of the:* bloody days in the
old west when cattlemen and sheep
raisers battled fiercely for posses-1
! sion of the ranges. The star. Bob
Steele, noted for his superb horse
manship, is cast as Jim Bledsoe, son
» of a cattleman who fences in his
ranges to keep out the sheep of his
neighbor. Tug Wilson, a sheep
raiser. Buck Rankin, played by A1
Ferguson, foreman at Wilson's
ranch, declares he will ignore Bled
soe's fences, cutting the wires if
necessary .
Ruth Wilson (Louise Lorraine),
daughter of Tug and sweetheart of
Jim, warns Jim of Buck's plans.
Buck and his gang capture Jim and
tie him to a tree and proceed to
cut the fences. Wilson, although a
I sheep man, agrees that old Bledscoe
is right in thus protecting his range
1 and is killey by Buck for interfer- 1
ing. Buck then cleverly throws the I
i blame for the murder bn Jim. How j
it all turns out and how peace once
more comes t> the country is graph
ically shown in a most interesting
picture.
j The use of dialogue vastly im- 1
proves the story. Also, it permits
Steele to prove that he is a singer
as well as a Western star of note. \
ARCADIA - HARLINGEN
Ramon Navarro’s newest musical
romance is the feature attraction on
the new program opening a two day
engagement at the Harlingen Ar-1
cadia theatre today.
As was the case with Navarro’s
initial talking production, “Devil!
May Care,” music plays an im-1
portant part in “In Gay Madrid,” j
th? new vehicle containing six songs
for the star as well as music to be
sung by a male chorus of fifty
voices; “Santiago,” “Let Me Give
You Love,” and ’ Itirk Night."
“Smile Comrades!’ "Into M»* Heart,”
and “Wine, Women and Song.”
The picture, which is .aid m a
Spanish university setting, incor
porates a number of festive scenes
which afforded an opportunity for
the introduction of the traditional
Spanish tango in colorful costumes.
Navarro, who has long been known
as an expert tangoist. conceived a
special number for this production.
