Fruit on Lower Rio Grande
Citrus fruit production in the
Lower Rio Grande valley of Texas
totaled 226,281 boxes during the sea
son just ended. These figures, com
pared with a total of 25,247 boxes
for the 1921 crop, show the tremend
ous growth of the citrus industry in
this irrigated region in the last four
years. The figures show that 207,
429 boxes og grape fruit were pro
duced there during the 1925 season
and establish the fact that the Lower
Rio Grande valley is rapidly becom
ing one of the largest grapefruit pro
ducing sections of the United States.
The remainder of the 1925 crop was
divided between 13,814 boxes of or
anges and tangerines and 5.03S boxes
of lemons and other citrus fruits.
There figures, taken from a state
ment prepared by the Gulf Coast
lines, the valley's railroad, made pub
lic by L. W. Baldwin, president of
the Missouri Pacific system lines, also
indicate that the public's regard for
grapefruit has undergone a decided
change as compared with that of a
few years ago, when the general con
ception of the now popular breakfast
fruit was voiced by J.he immortal
"Pat" when he told the equally im
mortal "Mike" that "a grape fruit is
a 'Union' flavored wit' quinine."
ROBBERS AGAIN
MAKE NEHAWKA
VICTIM OF RAID
F. P. Sheldon General Store Raided
By Robbers Last Night ; Large
Amount of Goods Taken.
, From Wednesday's rlly
The visits of robbers and burglars
to our neighboring town of Nehawka
has grown to be so numerous that
they almost" seem a habit, last night
that community again suffering from
ithe raids of the robbers.
1 The large general store of F. 1.
(Sheldon, which several . weeks ago
suffered the 'loss of some $1,500
worth of stock, was again the object
of the attention of the robbers and
the los3 as estimated will run from
$1,500 to $2,000, the exact amount
not being able to be ascertained un
til a complete check of the stock is
made by the force of clerks.
i In a special telephone message to
the Journal from the scene of the
robbery it was stated that the en
trance to the building was gained
this time by breaking through a rear
door into the cellar of the building
and from there into the main store
room on the first floor.
The robbers evidently made their
getaway by unlocking the rear door
of the building and calmly hauling
out the goods and loading them in a
truck or car in which they evidently
made their getaway.
It was stated that the store was
open for business until after 9
o'clock last night and that the clerks
arrived there at 7 this morning to
discover the burglary so that the
night visitors had timed their arrival
so as to find easy sailing in getting
away with the stock of goods.
1 From the repetition of the robber
ies, and the fact that the party or
parties seems to be familiar with the
situation of the articles In the store
as well as the general unprotected
condition of the town, it would seem
that the robberies are planned Cy
isomeone very familiar with the town
'and the Sheldon store in particular.
! The goods taken this time are
largely dry goods, some shoes as well
as well as blankets, sheep lined
j coats and other articles of winter
jwenrin? apparel.
j Sheriff Stewart was at Nehawka
i this morning looking into the case
'.and for any clues that might lead to
jthe apprehension of the party or par
ties that have made Nehawka almost
as unsafe as Chicago.
NEW PLANE WILL SKIM
WAVES LIKE SEA FLEA
Lyons, France, Sept. 19. An
"ocean plane" a new device for wa
ter travel, patterned after the sea
flea, which Jumps from wave to wave,
is being completed by Count de Has
enko, Russian engineer, under the
sponsorship of the French govern
ment. The count plans to test his craft
in a voyage from Marseilles to Rio
dog "Lobb" as his only companion,
de Janeiro, with his German police
He hopes to complete the trip in
eight days.
Count de Hasenke's queer device
consists of an enclosed shell hang
ing from two airplane winga with
long, freely-moving stabilizers, re
sembling legs, suspended below. At
the end of these are boat-like "feet"
filled with helium. ,
These draw only three inches of
water, when the aparatus is at rest
and merely touch the waves as the
plane ekims along supported by its
wings and driven ninety-five miles
an hour by an airplane propellor.
The whole apparatus weighs a ton.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
FROM OCTOBER 7 TO 10
Since it is to his home that every
man instinctively goes in quest of
absolute safety there is grim irony
more than a little, in the revelation
that somebody's dwelling suffers at
tack by fire every three minutes, ap
proximately that the average year
ly destruction of homes approache
$66,000,000. Plainly, the safety that
he seeks is not to be found around
the average American hearth.
It appears from the published rec
ords that four of the six leading
causes of fire in the home defective
chimneys and fllues; sparks on roofs
stoves, furnaces, boilers and the!
pi!a-. a.d matches an.l smoking in
dubitably are preventable by the ex
ercise of proper care and common
sense.
The August issue of Safeguarding
America Against Fire presents com
plete plans for community observance
of National Fire Prevention Week
The National Board of Fire Under
writers, New" York, stands ready to
do everything . within ' its power to
facilitate the campaign and will
welcome communications from fire
chiefs, local agents, municipal ofli
cials. school authorities, the mem
bership of business organizations and
all others who will participate in
the event.
Purely a people virile and far
8ightel enough to found a n?-.ion can
muster sufficient intelligence and
strength of will to preserve it from
the wasting of fire stating with
their homes.

Pleasant Occasion.
From Tuesday's Daily
The beautiful home of Mrs. Wil

the delightful pre-nuptial events giv
en in honor of Miss Helen Egenber
ger, the friends being invited to join
yesterday afternoon in a miscellan
eous shower in honor of the forth-
coining bride.
The color of the bright hued aut
umn flowers added their warmth to
the beauty of the home and furnished
a pleasing part of the decorative
plan of the afternoon.
The ladies, some forty-four in
number, spent the time in the hem
Ing of tea towels for the bride as
well as the making of many other
dainty needlework articles that were
later presented to the guest of honor

G. Reed gave several of her always
enjoyable piano selections and the
ladies had a special treat in the pres
ence of Mrs. Edna Marshall Petteys
of Omaha, who gave a number of
vocal selections in. her usual charm
ing manner.
One of the diversions of the after
noon was the writing of words of
advice for the bride by the members
of the party which proved a pleas
ing diversion of the occasion.
At a suitable hour dainty and de
licious refreshments were served by
the hostesses assisted by the Misses
Virginia Beeson and Sarah Baird
