That’s hard for most people to he
Hove, especially when we have always
been accustomed to seeing farm bands
for six days in the weeks and twelve
to fourteen hours a day; when we
have seen mechanics work six and
seven days and ten hours a day, when
common labor worked until the work
for that day was done. It must, there-
fore, he horrifying (o that person hav-
ing seen or gone through with such
experiences to know that tlie five day
work week is near at hand.
Mr. Ford's contention of course iR
that the laborer with two days of rest
can accomplish much more, having
been so refreshed both mentally and
physically by the two day's absence
away from everyday grind. His theory
is not a now one, and it has been
proven correct. At one time tho print-

A glance at th<* comparative stale

Kingsville, published on another pag«‘
of this paper, reflects a most piosper-
ous condition in Kingsville and Kle
berg county, especially when it is tak
imi into consideration that this bank
carries no large county or city depos-
its; its depositors for the most part
being the farmers and wage earners
of the town and county small ac-
counts. With deposits slightly in ex
cess of a half million and cash on
hand in excess of a quarter of a mil
lion, the First State Hank shows that
Kingsville and Kleberg county has en-
joyed u most prosperous year and
faces another year in splendid finan
cial condition.
When it is taken into consideration
I that there are two other hanks in the
i city, both perhaps making just as
! good a showing, there seems to bo
! little room for pessimism.

Teachers College, sad it fell to tho lot
of this cub. As I write these lines, I
rejoice that it was so.
With misgivings, as 1 am not a
society man, I approached the Legion
Hall with fear and trembling. I do not
know why. as I was accustomed to
grade teachers galore as 1 came up,
but a college teacher is something I
never associated with, except in a
casual way. Perhaps the prospect of
mixing and mingling with so august
a body on an equal footing, as it were,
caused the nervousness.

doorway. I was stopped by Mrs. J. V.
Chandler and given a premtory com
maud to “Please register.” Not know-
ing just what she meant, and perhaps
by reason of the stage and curtains
confronting me from the depths of tin-
hall. I began to do my best. I thought
the occasion was one of merriment, so

what I meant for u smile, I could even
feel my eyes smiling. That didn't seem
to fill the requirements, so I tried to
make a lightning hango (o some other
emotion. My efforts induced Mrs.
Chandler to come to the rescue, which
she did by pushing an open book to-
ward me with the request that I write
my name. As I did that, she informed
me that I was a “Ford." For the life
of me. I could not make out what it
was .all about, but once I get into a

Sheriff Moseley has been quietly at
work on the ease since the series of
robberies begun, i; being his belief
f'lim the beginning that it was the
work of Mexicans. There is a long
story connected with the trailing of
the gang, which makes interesting
reading indeed.
His suspicions were first aroused
by the actions of Juan (iarcia, a
Kingsville Mexican, who was sent up
from tills county some years ago for
burglary, and who had served out his
time and returned to Kingsville. He
bought too many new ears and spent
money too freely, and Mr. Moseley
was convinced tlint he was mixed up
in some sort of crooked deal and set
a watch for him. Through him he trap
tied three others of the gang into visit -
ing Kingsville in answer to a telegram
signed presumably by Garda, but in
reality written by Moseley. The gang,
then in Mutamoros fell for the fake
wire and showed up in Kingsville, and
