the prices are as near right as quantity buying can make them.

Bridge Party
A few of the younger set. with their
chaperones, enjoyed an informal
bridge party on Tuesday night from
S till 10 at the famous Salt Creek
bridge. The earlier part of the even-
ing was gaily spent in gatherirg and
chopping wood. Cut prize went to the
guy with the axe, while high score
was determined by the number of
weenies knock into the fire. The
only guests were a couple of “chick-
ens,” whose home we don’t know,
and who behaved rather raw. They
departed early.
Refreshments, which consisted of
dainty weenies, delicious slices of
bread and marshmallows, were “gorg-
ed’’ in a most ill-mannered fashion,
which would have led onlookers to
believe some people hadn’t eaten this
year.
Another popular diversion of the
evening consisted in hurling juicy
bits of meat, stick marshmallows and
chunks of dirt, wood and other love-
ly things at friends, who regretted
that there were no rotten eggs or
ripe tomatoes handy to return to their
generous friends.
After all the gueHts had been knock-
ed down, several times, and each had
received favors consisting of black
eyes, dirty faces and torn clothes, it
was decided to put out the fire and
stay until everyone had become thor-
oughly cold. When everyone had a<
auired an icyele mustache and a red
nose they regretfully departed for
tie ir homos, expressing enjoyment of
the terrible evening.

Business Conditions
Throughout Texas
Austin, Tex., Dec. 2N. There were
few changes in general business con-
ditions throughout Texas and the
Southwest in November from the pre-
vious month, concludes Bervard Nlch
ols, assistant in charge of index num-
bers in the bureau of business re-
search of tin* University of Texas, and
editor of the Texas Business Review
“The very mild weather during the
month checked tin* sales of winter
clothing and temporarily halted the
distribution of merchandise,” Mr.
Nichols says. "On the other hand,"
he continues, "farmers were able to
make good progress with fall work
and with the harvesting of crops. In-
dustrial progress was made In some
lines, hut the usual autumn expan*
sion has been rather slow in materi-
alizing.
“The agricultural outlook is a little
less encouraging than it was a month
ago. While fall weather was favor-
ubli for tin gathering of crops, soils
dried out to such an extent that farm-
ers were hampered in plowing their
fields. Moreover, tin* growth of fall
grains was greatly retarded and the
crop even deteriorated in some dts
tricts. Recent rains have relieved this
condition to a very large extent and
improvement Is likely to be noted In
the next report. Most of the cotton
lia been picked and the greater por-
tion of tin* crop lias been sold Fruits
and vegetables are moving out of the
Valley and from the Winter Garden
‘lection in larily large volume, and
prices are holding up about as well as
could la* expected Citrus fruits and
spinach make up the hulk of the
shipments.
