Three men. L Brene, Harold
Shenk and Robert Morgan, all about
30, were arrested at El Paso, Texas,
January 30, by State highway patrol-
men and were charged in a justice
court there with robbery in connec-
tion with the theft o* three typewrit-
ers from the El Paso high school.
The patrolmen made the arrests
when they halted the automobile
which was being driven on the wrong
side of the road. The arrests, it is
believed, have solved a series of rob-
beries perpetrated from New Orleans
to El Paso and including the bur-
glarizing Friday night of the P. C.
Gaines filling station in Hondo.
Entrance into the Gaines’ station
on the highway was made by break-
ing a window. The stolen articles
included a new radio, typewriter,
flash lights, cigarets, candy, oil and
a cash register containing $7 in
cash. The register was found early
Saturday on a side road three miles
west of Hondo. Sheriff Schuehle
notified officers in west Texas and
he was later informed of the arrest
of the three men. Investigation by
the El Paso authorities showed that
the car had been stolen in New Or- '
leans and the typewriters were j
found in the rear. Pawn tickets
showed a trail of articles cashed, the
highway patrolmen said, presumably
from other burglaries, in Waco and
Corpus Christi.
According to word received by j
Sheriff Schuehle, one of the men is '■
reported to have been in the peni- j
tentiary four times and all three are j
wanted on federal charges. The men '
will not be brought to Hondo, but
Mr. Schuehle plans to accompany 1
an officer of the State Highway Pa-
trol in the San Antonio district one
day this week to some half-way
point where they will meet the of-
ficers from the El Paso district and
recover the stolen articles. The
three men also are suspected of rob-
beries in San Antonio.

Taxpayers in Road District No. 2
of Medina County will go to the polls
< n Feb. 3 to vote on the issuance of
$60,000 in bonds for road and high-
vsy improvements in that district.
The outcome of the election is be-
ing watched with unusual interest in
Uvalde and other counties in this
area since a part of the proceeds of
the bond issue, should it carry, will
bo used for the purchase of right-of-
way on Highway 90 near Castroville.
The new right-of-way is needed for
the relocation of the highway near
( a-itroville and where a new bridge
will be constructed across the Me-
dina river.
A previous bond issue was defeat-
ed by a small majority and propon-
ents of the proposition immediately
went to work and arranged for the
forthcoming election.—Uvalde Lead-

COTTON BAGGING
Cotton bagging came to the front
in Texas during 1939 as 233 976
baies were covered with this materi-
a” *V L. Lichte, cotton gin specialist
of the Texas A. and M. Extension
Service, has announced. Less than
17,500 bales were put up i„ cottL
bagging in 1938.
Advocates of cotton bagging have
pointed out that a normal crop of
cotton in the United States would re-
quire the use of about 135,000 bales
of cotton annually. Spinners gen-1
eraRy favor cotton as a bagging ma-
terial, as the jute now widely used
mixes with the cotton fiber and
makes an extra cleaning process
necessary. Improvements arc rieces
sary which will make cotton bagging
more satisfactory than the present
type, Liehte said.
