TIGERS WILL PLAY
DONNA AGGREGATION
AT DONNA SUNDAY
Tht Brownsville baseball club will
go to Donna toniortow for a game with
the team representing that town in the
Valley League. ^The Tigers will use
practically the same lineup that they
have used in the last few games.
Donna although making a strcng
start has weakened since the season got
under way and the teums should be
about evenly matched. The Brownsville
hoys have been playing good ball in
their last few games. They are fielding
well but have been a little weak in bat-
ting. Manager Desha h: s been working
on this weakness however and the
team is showing improvement.

ENDEAVORERS GO
ON RECORD AGAINST
TWELVE HOUR DAYS
I
DES MOINES July 7.—The 12-
hour day and the seven day a week
for industrial workers is a menace
to the American home the Chris-
tian church and free government
according to a leclnration contained
in a resolution adopled today by the
29th International Christian En-
deavor Convention in session here.
The re»oM’f\>a was introduced by
the ' vcutive committee of the
5 .ed Society of Christian En-
deavor and will be rent to the con-
stituent societies.
The text of the statement fol-
lows; “Unrest and open warfare in
industry constitute a distinct chal-
lenge to Christianity. Jeus Christ is
I for the individual and for the insti-
tutions of society—the only suffi-
cient Saviour. We believe that the
application of his spirit and princi-
ples to the problems and controver-
sies of commerce and trade will
promote good-will and establish
peace.
“We recommend those who are
acting as pathfinders of a new and
Christian social order. Particularly
do we commend such organizations
as the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com-
pany ami the International Har-
i vester Company for their demon-
stration of the practicability of the
eight hour day. the shop commit-
tee and the wisdom of the parti-
cipation of workers in direction and
control.
“The twelve-hour day. the seven
day week the espionage system and
autocratic control are relics of an
industnil bsolutsm; where they
still continue they are a menace te
the American home the Christian
Church and free government; they
remain as feuda evils that A hris-
; tian civilization ought long since to
have outlawed. Because of them
the church is often unjustly measus-
ed by the working world. For vast
j numbers they stand as barriers ia
the road to Americanization. They
promote unrest and make for bit-
terness and therefore are not good
for a nation. We pledge our best
efforts under the wise leadership of
our churches to bring them to an
end."
at Sterling City in West Texas where
they will spend six weeks or two mouths
with relit ives.
From San Antonio—- Mrs. George A.
Blanchard and children and Mrs. A. F.
1 Davis arrived yesterday from San An-
tonio and will spend several weeks here
as the guests of their parents Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Noble.
Finishes Business Course.—.Fred Tru-
witt Cowen who has been attending a
business college in San Antonio has
completed his course and arrived home
this week.
Heavy Rains.—Another heavy rain
fell about noon today between Biowna-
ville and the coast and also north and
cast of the city. Only a light sprinkle
was reported at Harlingen.
Goes to La Feria.—County Engineer
W. O. Washington left this morning for
the northern part of the county to in-
spect the highway construction in the
vicinity of Lu Feria. There has been
little delay on that section of the high-
way on account of rains.

"UNDER TWO JAGS”
SAVED SICK SPELLS
Black-Draught Found Valuable by
a Texas Fanner Who Hu
Known Its Usefulness
Over 30 Years.
Naples Teras.—"I have used Thed*
lord's Black-Drauglit for years—I can
safely say for more than 30 years" de-
clares Mr. H. H. Cromer a substantial
well-known farmer residing out from
here on Route 3.
"I am 43 years old and when a small
boy I had indigestion and was puny and
my folks gave me a liver regulator. Then
Black-Draught was advertised and we
heard of it.
"f began to tatre Black-Draught and
have used iL when needed ever since.
I use Black-Draught now in my home
and certainly recommend it for any liver
trouble.
"I have given it a thorough trial and
after thirty years can say Black-Draught
is my stand-by. It has saved me many
•ick spells."
Mr. Cromer writes that he is "never
out ot Black-Draught." and says several
of his neighbors prefer it to any other
i liver medicine. "I always recommend
i Black-Draught to my friends." he adds.
This valuable old powdered liver
medicine is. prepared from medicinal
roots and herbs and has none of the bad
effects so often observed from the use ol
calomel or other powerful mineral drugs.

QUEEN THEATRE
t'ritics everywhere assert that “Pol-
lynntia" is one of the greatest picture*
play* ever filmed. The reason for this
is that the philosophy upon which the
story is based constituted a theme which
at the present time lias an unusually
wide appeal. This production will he
the feature at the tjueen Theatre today.
rndoubtedly Mary !*i.-kford. with
characteristic far-sightedness had this
in mind when she chose this celebrated
work as her first vehicle for the I'nited
Artists’ t'nrporation.
There is a great craving at the
present time on the part of the public
necorditgt to best informed showti^efi.
for something more than mere enter-
tainment. Of course diversion ia al-
ways the paramount thing whenever
amusement is considered. *»nt at the
same time people want something big
and compelling—something that will
drive home a few truths without
preaching a Merman or spoiling the
flavor of a show which is meant to en-
tertain.
