Mexican Americans Buy Liberty Bond at Local Firm
About fifteen employees of L. Villegas & Co. met in the store yesterday afternoon and purchased a $1,000 Liberty Loan Bond. Ramona Campos, a Mexican woman arrested for drawn work, was arraigned but released on recognizance to await the next grand jury due to ill health. A sale of seized Mexican drawnwork and tobacco items occurred at the customs house. Imports from Mexico included 23 carloads of ixile, 5 of miscellany, 4 of steel billets, and 8 of calamine. Webb County’s equalization board remains in session updating property valuations. Construction progresses on large and several smaller buildings in Laredo. Reports say several young men may receive commissions in Texas National Guard regiments, with officers named by Governor Ferguson.
