his face which was bleeding.
Later he admitted that the rob-
bery was a fake that he had
scratched his face with a pin and !

out of a board bill and a marriage
ceremony.
Officers smiled broadly when they
recalled his first report of the
"robbery." The purported victim
said the brutal robber even took a
package of gum from him which he
was takng home to his prospective
step-children

Good sewing machine needs
best oil say repair men
If all housewives knew what re-
pair men know about sewing ma-
chines. they wouldn't think “any
kind of oil will do”. Three-fourths
of all repairs on sewing machines
are due to neglect or the wrong kind
of oil.
There's only one oil good enough
for your machine—the best. Regard-
less of price you can't find better
oil than 3-in-One. It is a scientific
blend of high grade animal min-
eral and vegetable oils and con-
tains unique properties not possess-
ed by ordinary oil. It cleans and
protects as well as lubricates. It Is
unsurpassed for sewing machines
vacuum cleaners lawn mowers
washers electric fans refrigerators
locks hinges and general household
lubrication.
Don't endanger the life of your
sewing machine and expensive
household equipment with ordinary
oil. 3-in-One oil costs only a trifle
more and will save you lots of
money in repairs. At good stores
everywhere in 15c and 30c sizes For
your protection look for the trade
mark “3-in-One" printed in Red on
every package.

especial to The Herald.)
McALLEN. May 6 —Cotton pros-
pects in Nuevo Leon northern
Tamaulipas. and Coahuila are good
despite the drought in the Laguna

Mexican consul at Hidalgo.
Cotton stands are very good in
northern Tamaulipas and Nuevo

preparing to handle an increase of
from 35 to 50 per cent over last
