Many extra demands caused by un-
usual unemployment have made the
work of the United Charities heavy in
this city, according to Miss Nellie M.
Hall. Continued rains throughout the
state have prevented the organisation
from finding employment for men in
the fields, which ordinarily at this
time of the year has been easy. About
150 families are being cared for at
present, and this number has varied
little in the past months.
Last year the Welfare Council, of
which the United Charities is a con-
stituent. did not raise the budget, and
since the nature of the work of this
organisation is that of permanent re-
lief, the funds have been rather insuf-
ficient, Mias Hall said. Volunteer help
from groups of University students
and assistance from the Camp Fire
Girls have greatly helped in carrying
on the work.
At present there are only two in the
office doing the work that demands a

TIEN TSIN, May 16—There is a
momentary lull in the military opera-

fact that Wu pei Fu, victorious in his

BATON ROUGE. La., May 16.—A

to close the breaks, and unless they are
successful practically all of voyel~

According to information obtained at
the general land office, 420 acres of
possible oil area in Matagorda Bay
will be put on sale June 13 at 2 o’clock.
Commissioner J. T. Robison said that
oil near by has been already developed.
He also asserted that geologists are
strong in their approval of this as a
sure oil field extending into the water.
Lists and map showing this oil area
have just been received this morning
from the printer, and any one can get
copies from the land office.
There are three tracts of this area,
one of 100 acres and two of 160 acres
each. Oil is now being produced in
this vicinity on the mainland, and ac-
cording to Mr. Robison the belief is
that the field extends Into the bay.
The water is from a few inches to
three or four feet deep. •

That Bay City is now entirely out
of danger of flood waters due to the
excellent protection given by the levees
is the report made to Governor Neff
by Major A. A. St ilea state reclama-
tion 6n pincer who has just returned
from making an investigation of the
' situation. Governor Neff had heen ap-
pealed to by the people of Bay City
several dy ago as they told the gov-
ernor that the town was under water
in parts.
“The town is protected by an ex-
cellent levee, which if properly cared
for ip future win forever protect Bay
City against flood'waters of the Colo-
rado river,” said Major Stiles in his
report.
The flo.d this time fully demonsrat-
ed that the leyec is correctly designed
and is being properly built. It is an
old levee, but has recently been re-
vised in sveral places and is being
built higher T N. Cuftason is the
/ \ present engineet The levee broke
through a season erack. The erevases
• was in the new portion of the levee,
near the,ugper end. At this place
there is only one break in the levee.
It is about 300 feet, long The levee
is about 22 miles long. These season
creks cKr"be hsily prevented in fu-
ture if the persons in charge of the
levee will only take good care of it
all the time and follow the course pur-
sued by many ether levee districts
in other parts f the state.”
Major Stiles added that the water
is receding rapidly and as soon as it
has receded sufficiently the break
will be repaired with a machine that
can do the work in 24 hours. When
this has been accomplished there “need
never be another flood in Bay City,"
Major • Stiles stated.

Citizens of Austin, arm yourselves

knife. For the weeds must go!
Commissioner Harry L. Haynes
promises that his weed gang will soon
have the alleys and gutters rid of all
rank growth, but sidewalks and lots,
fenced or unfenced, must be cleared by
the owners.
“I hope the people of Austin will
make a clean town possible," said Mr
Haynes. "The success of any move-
ment depends on the co-operation of
the citizens.
“Furthermore,” declared Mr. Haynes,
