The American Legion and the Boy
Scohts of Edinburg will stage a box-
ing match and wrestling match at
the High School Auditorium in Edin-
burg on Friday night, August 25th, at
8 o’clock, for the benefit of the Edin-
burg Community House and_ Ladies’
Rest Room at ,the county seat.
This will be an event which will no
doubt be of interest to many as the
participants in the wrestling bout
will he Lawrenre Steiner of Alamo
and Ralph Hughes of Edinburg, both
of these participants being well
known wrestlers, who have taken
part in many wrestling matches in
the past though they have never been
matched against each other in Hidal-
go County. They will go to the mat
for ,the best two falls out of three.
It will be a contest of much science
and endurance. They each weigh
about 180 pounds and both are con-
fident of winning the purse.
The contestants in the boxing
match will be H. M. Swim of Alamo
and Corp. McQuire of McAllen. They
will stage a fast eight round match,
and as both of these boxers are well
known in Hidalgo County, each of
them having participated in several
contests here, this will be a bout
worthy of witnessing. It will be re-
membered that Corp. McGuire was
one of the contestants in the boxing
match at Donna on, July 4th, which
bout was decided as a draw.
There will also be some entertain-
ing preliminaries staged by some of
the members of the Boy Scouts of
Edinburg and in this Boy. Scout Camp
there are several very good boxers
and a few of the boys have learned
many of the scientific holds of
wrestling.
As above stated this entertainment
is being staged by the American Le-
gion and Boy Scouts for the benefit
of the Edinburg Community House
and Ladies’ Rest Room at the county
seat, as the various ladies organiza-
tions ha Edinburg have established i
Community House and are cooperat
ing with the Commissioners’^ Court of
Hidalgo County, using their Commun-
Dallas, Texas, August 15, 1922.

Dear Sirs:—The cause of prohibi-
tion is facing a crisis in Texas in
the run off primary on August 26th.
The impeached governor’s 12th plank
in his announced platform calls for
a total repeal of both State and Nat-
ional prohibition amendments, or the
utter destruction of prohibition. Mr.
Mayfield stands for strengthening
these laws and the honest enforce-
ment of them.
I have personally investigated ev-
ery Charge the impeached governor
has made against Mayfield’s moral
character and fail to find one iota of
evidence that either charge is true,
a copy, read all of it.
The impeached governor is at-
tempting to do for Mayfield what, he
cici for Tom Ball. He hopes to pro-
duce a smoke screen by his mud
slinging that will prevent the people
seeing his own crooked record.
I am, sorry to say that our people
so quickly forget such records that
there is danger that they be fooled,
and if not to vote for Ferguson, at
least to stay away from the election,
which will mean a half vote for Fer-
guson.
Let me urge you to personally get
busy in your community. Tell every
one for me that every charge Fergu-
son makes against Mayfield, I know
to bd false and tell them to he sure
to vote on the 26,th. Tell them to
rebifke this mud slinging ’till no one
else will try it.
Atticus Webb.
Yours very truly,
Your Fall
Apparel
It’s a great occasion when the new Fall
Apparel starts arriving. That’s what is happen-
ing now, and what we want you to know about
and see, if you please. Stocks, of course, are
not near complete, but these advance things
are very exclusive ones that authentically
portray the season’s new style trend.
It’s interesting to see these new things as
they come in, and it is none too early to buy,
for half the glory of a new style is to be the
first to wear it.

ity House as a County Rest Room for
,the ladies as well.
In the past there has been no
ladies’ rest room at the county seat
so that ladies accompanying their hus-
bands to Edinburg on matters of bus-
iness have been compelled to spend
their time waiting in automobiles at
the court house door, hut in the fu-
ture .they will be able to go to the
County Rest Room where there will
no doubt be many ladies at all times
and they can there wait in a cool
place and spend their time to an
advantage in reading and visiting
with their neighbors.

FAMOUS BATH TUB CASE

(Continued from page 6)
almost said the disabled hospital
building program. In explaining his
attitude, and attempting to justify it.
the general commented upon what he
considered the change of sentiment in
American people toward its soldiers
now suffering in government and con-
tract hospitals. He told how eighteen
months ago, people who wished to do
something for the disabled crowded
his office, but that now the situation
had changed _
Then the general dictated his fa-
mous phase. “Few are there, indeed,
who have - particular concern,” he re-
plied to A. A. Sprague of tne Le-
gion, who had accused him of delay-
ing the much needed hospital pro-
gram.
Perhaps it is true. It may be that
the general, as an astute interpreter
of public opinion, has diagnosed his
own case and that of the public cor-
rectly, and that outside of veteran
organizations and their
the people are indifferent
apathetic toward the fate
Whom they cheered and
three short years ago.
We' reporters know that the public
is fickle, changeable. It demands to
he entertained above all else, and
must be intensely interested before it
will throw itself wholeheartedly into
a project.
War Still for Thousands
But the writer does not beiieve that
the American people have forgotten,
n6r does he believe that the newly-
coined phase, “Few are there indeed,
who have particular concern,” is a
correct diagnosis of the American
conscience, and he knows it cannot be,
so long as there are men like Mackall,
suffering in makeshift hospitals, who
in their own forgetfulness of self, re-
call to those who did not enter the
war, that the war, still continues to-
day for thousands of America’s brok-
en young manhood.

Mackall died a short time after I
(talked to him, and I imagine that my
interview was the last he ever gave.
His funeral was quite an event. Pres-
ident and Mrs. Harding sent flowers,
the body lay in state for 24 hours,
and hundreds of Legionnaires and oth-
er veterans turned out to do him hon-
or. A firing squad fired three rounds
over his grave, and a bugler sounded
taps, “good night to the brave.”
But Mackall’s soul goes marching
on. And his buddies will take up the
torch which he let fall, and will con-
tinue to prove the falsity of the new-
ly-coined phase, “Few are there, in-
deed, who have particular concern.”
---O-
Why do people persist. in calling
them “lost’souls?” They know only
too well where they are.

Don’t feel embarrassed, sister, when
your little brother “spills the beans.”
A hungry matrimonial fish rises
quickly to the bait.
