ASPIRIN INTRODUCED
Look for name "Bayer" on the
tablets, then you need
never worry.
If you want the true, world-famous
,Aspirin, as prescribed by phvsicians
»for over eighteen years, you must ask
• for "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin."
The "Bayet Cross" is stamped on
each tablet and appears on each pack-
age for your protection against imita-
tions.
In each package of "Bayer Tablets
;cf Aspirin" are safe and pnper d;rec-
(tions for Colds, Headache. Neuralgia,
'Toothache, Earache, Rheumatism, Lum-
fbago, Neuritis, and for Pain in general,
f Handy tin boxes containing 12 ♦ab-
lets cost but a few cents. Druggists
also sell larger "Bayer" packages.

Commerce. Mr Wright said that almost
one halt of tl it anoint, or 189,060 pounds,
was sold to wholesalers other than those
operating In Ban Antonio. That at least
four carloads went to border points was
admitted.
Politics Ciets in Blow.
"At first I refused to sell any sugar to
wholesalers on the Mexican border." said
Mr. Wright, "but political influence was
brought to bear and I finally consented."
He said he does not know if any of the
sugar sent to these points Is being held
for higher prices.
According to Mr Wright, the following
towns were furnished with sugar from tlie
million pounds: Soguin. one car; I'valde,
one: Cuero, one: Del Rio, one; Corpus
Christi, two, Victoria, one; Gonzales, on*1;
Hrownsville, two; Laredo, one; Yoakum.
I ono. j
| That it takes approximately a million
j and a half pounds of sugar to supplv
; San Antor-io per month, is the estimate
! made by Mr. Wright. With a very limited
I amount on hand at present and only 2,000
bags in sight, he predicts a shortage of
i that article withtn a few days, unless
something is done by the "powers that
be "
"When the Department of Justice agent
was here some time ago, lie spoke highly
of the manner in which the sugar dfstri
but ion was made here," said Mr. Wright,
in declaring that no local dealers had been
involved in the hoarding and storing cases
uncovered at EI Paso or in other places.
Mr Wright also said that there was no
evidence, so far as he knew, of any sugar
being hoarded in San Antonio.
Dealers questioned yesterday said that
they would have sugar today or Wednes-
day, but that the priee probably wouM
bo in advance of that charged last week.
Why retailors were allowed to charge
as much as 15 cents per pound for sugar
otlld not be explained by those supposed
to be in a position to know. Limiting the
portion served at some of the restaurants
was likewise a question that would evoke
no comment other than the fact that it
was in violation of the sugar control net.
If is said that at El Paso there Is In
storage there 11,000.000 pounds of sugar,
the holder being a Mexican wholesaler. Tt
is also said that above five million pounds
of sugar have been exported to the south-
ern republic since April, 1019.

With virtually three months before the
end of the year, all aunual rainfall rec-
ords in San Antonio for the past o5 years
! have been brukeu. From January 1, lull),
! up until the end of yesterday's heavy rain,
40.(iO inches of rain had fallen.
The heaviest aunual rainfall on record at
I the Weather bureau office previous to

here, said yesterday that the normal an
nual rainfall of San Antonio was 20.83
inches. If conditions keep up as they are

; roach 50 inches.
At the end of the heavy rain yesterday,
| -..'10 inches had fallen since 5 o'clock in
j the morning, which, with the ,12 of an inch
rain which fell Sunday, brought the total

west Texas, due to the storm area which
manifested Itself early Monday morning.
This storm area covered Southwest Texas
und centered above the Rio Grande Vallev.
Showers, however, were general over tho
entire State.
Maj. Buell stated that the prospects for
clear weather today, with a slight drop
in temperature, which would do away with
the humidity, were good. The storm ana
is slowly moving eastward, he said, but its
speed is undetermined, and upon tills rests
San Antonio's prospects for fair weather
today.

Weather Bureau yesterday was at Colum-
bus, where li.fct4 inches of rain had fallen

CITY WILL NOT SHIVER;
DOES FUEL SHOPPING EARLY
The City of San Antonio is not purchas-
ing wood and coal for poor families, or
those who think the present prices exor-
bitant at the present time, according lo
City Purchasing .\g-nt It. I„ Dalton.
"The city is not in the market lor fuel
at present," said Mr. Dalton Monday, "al-
though it is possible It will be by the
time cold weather sets In. We have pur-
chased a considerable quantity for the city
administration, for all branches, but we
have not as yet established « municipal
fuel yard. If fuel prices continue to soar,
it is probable that the city will take some
action."

The report that St. Joseph's Island, ly-
ing five miles east of Uockport, w -
washed away by the storm, was d»>i i l by
W. W. Wood, who, with Cyrus H. Lu« i>
of San Antonio, owns St. Joseph's raii' h,
which covers 33,000 acres, practically ; u •
entire island. Damage to th ranch
amounts to about £75.000, he vii.l. Mr
Wood arrived in sun Antonio
night from Rockport.
One thousand head of cattle were lost,
but buildings on the ranch were not great-
ly damaged, and the sheep, about -k»» mi
number, and ' 1,300 head of cattle w* re
saved. The island Is one of the largest
game reserves in this section of the coun-
try, and, contrary to a general report, the
deer, quail, wild turkey and other game
are still alive.
Mr. Wood also reported an abundance of
fresh water and grass, and denied tin re-
port that cattle were starving- Work on
the oil well, which was started by the
Corrigan Company of Oklahoma, will be
resumed October 13, he said. While tlie
derricks were swept away, other machin-
ery. including pipes, is Intact
"Only the lower end of St. Joseph's
Island was swept away, and that part is
always damaged more or less even when
the storm is comparatively light." Mr.
Wood said. "Nobody was drowned on the
entire island. However, the velocity of
the wind was high. There was a .'to-foot
hill on the island that was cut right In
half and half of it blown away."
Mr. Wood was in Uockport during tho
rU11' a message to the people
or San Antonio direct from the peopie of
Uockport.
"They told me to tell The Kxptfss to
tell the people of San Antonio how irrav
ful we are for the aid which they ren-
dered us,' he said. "I've lived in link-
port more or less all my life; in fa t. was
the second baby born there, and we want
the people here to know the truth aln.-.t
conditions down there. At present we're
not in want for anything, but we do n-nl
money—lots of it—to clean up the citv
and put in sidewalks and all that sort f
thing. It will take that to encourage the
merchants and people generally to re-
build the city. We can't do it all alon .
and we must have outside aid. Hut the
prompt action of San Antonio certainly
ed by every man, woman an I
child in Uockport. 1 don't know what we
would have done without it."
As for shipments of clothing and other
supplies to Uockport. Mr. Wood*,admitted
that because of the bad roads it was dif
flcult to get the supplies as quickly ;is
they were needed. For this reason the
situation became acute several times din-
ing the first two weeks, but there was n<>
actual suffering from hunger. It was n »t
the fault of the Red Cross or anv Individ-
uals, he said, but merely the isolated con-
dition of the town.
Mr. Wood stated that during the storm
the_ barometer whlr/i he owns registered
at. i0 degrees, the lowest point registered
during his entire lifetime, he said.
"Nobody Is talking of leaving Uock-
port, he said, "and the people are taking
hold and are going to build It up. There
is no doubt but what Uockport suffered
in proportion to its size, more than anv
other city on the coast. The dnmag"
speaking proportionately, of eour-e I
believe, was much greater than the damage
to UalveBton In 1MI0."
