L IOWA FRIENDS.

J The genuine regret expressed on all sides
T., citizens Of Brownsville at the depart
ure of General Allen and the iowa soldiers
is a tribute 10 the fine qualities of the
Iowans that is more than usually signifi-
cant. Iowa il distinctly an "Up North"
state. and Texas to the Iowans was the
most 'down South" state on the map. The
people of the two states were fellow cIti-
zens, but until the national guard came to
the border, they were strangers yet"
Without any feeling OF prejudice, it may be
said truly that they knew little of each 9TH
er. But now it is different with the Tex
ans of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. They
know Iowa and the Iowans now, and they
have written the name Of the Iowa nation
al guard among those of their friends.
These sturdy Iowa boys came south at
the call Of the government to do their part
in defending the border, To fight and even
To law down their lives If need be in order
10 i~sure the safety and well being of this
border country. They are a fine manly
lot and they nave made a place for them
elves in the hearts of our people. They
Try back with them the best wishes of
Townsville. and we trust that the cordial
r.iai ons which have existed between them
ud our pople during their tour of duty
hvl may build up a lasting friendship be-
tween the people of Iowa and Texas.

BROWNSVILLE NEED: SOMEONE'S
OPPORTUNITY.

one Of Brownsville's needs which should
..Hcr an inviting opportunity TO capital
y. king investment is a gas plant. 1t Is
d~ffiicult To understand why no one has yet
seen and taken advantage of this oppor-
tunity. With the growing scarcity of wood
for fuel in this section and our distance
from the coal markets, this place is great
ly in need of a gas plant to furnish fuel
for both cooking and heating, a. well as
for general industrial purposes.
The Herald is not posted on the cost of
gas plants, but it Is Il fact that they are
operated successfully i'll many no larger
towns than Brownsville. 1t might be a good
idea for our city board of development to
correspond with some authority on this
subject and ascertain whether such n pro-
ject would not be entirely feasible here.
An advertisement in some OF The industrial
journals, as well as in one or two metro
politan newspapers doubtless would be in
strumental in interesting someone with the
capital 10 invest, and to secure the es-
Establishment Of a gas plant at Brownsville.
Such an enterprise not only would solve
the local fuel problem, but also would pro-
mote the Industrial advancement of the
town. An institution of this kind naturally
would nave 0 pay roll of some Importance,
giving employment TO a number OF hands,
and so would increase the prosperity of the
place. 1t takes the large weekly pay roll
10 keep money in circulation. Brownsville
should endeavor to obtain the establish
ment Of industrial plants which would fur
nish employment to our people. First let
us obtain the gas plant, and then, having
the fuel, go after other enterprises.

The paper manufacturers attempt to ex-
plain the enormous increase In the price

SHORT CUTS IN COOKERY

Though there has been so much said about efficiency in the household yet many women still spend too many hours in actual cookery-chiefly be- cause the majority of them do not understand the methods and general proportions upon which all recipes are based and SO are literally glued to cook book. in which unfortunate ig the processes are often too intri- cate; and also because most house. wives fail to plan their meals far erough ahead. Planning ahead avoids repetition of the same cooking pro cesses and extra time spent in dish washing and waste of fuel. If each glass, china, or enamel ware utensil. and placed where it is cool. there need be no fear of using anything which has been cooked for twentv-fouT hours. ana in cold weather even forty eight
 For example Very little time will be saved If potatoes enough for two days are laboriously pared and then put on to boil in the usual way. But if they are quickly scrubbed and pus on to steam in their jackets, along with some custards or other desserts and possibly a meat or a fish loaf a great deal of time is saved, because the one utensil takes care of the three or four articles, thus obviating the supervision Of different parts of the stove.

MRS. WENTWORTH
 TALKS IF WORK

In it's dramatic structure the photo play is becoming more and more like the drama. declares Marion Craig Wentworth, who has just returned from New York. where si.e witnessed the first showing of the film yer sion of her play, War Brides.'
 Mrs. Wentworth is the author of the scenario which is founded on her one-act play. which c, ,cated sensa ton when produced in vaudeville with Nazimova in the chief role
 The author of the Doot. tne vaude- vile get and the paotoplay stated
 yesterday that the latter in it's dram atic episodes is far more compelling than the spoken drama.
 There was much that could not be shown in the play which has sbeen
 effectively brought out by Herbert
 Brenon. who produced the film story said Mrs. Wentworth The pictorial
 work is beautiful and the acting throughout. real. The critics in the
 east have spoken very well of it and
 Alan Dale in his review of War
 Brides said that for the first time
 he was compelled to doff his hat to the screen"
 Mrs Wentworth spoke of the thrill ing climax when the woman rebels against the command of the king and refuses to bear hel child with tho thought of it growing to live for an
 otEer war. When she denounces the entire system of war and puts an end to herself and her child the intense ness of the audience on that first
 night was Keenly demonstrated. The picture held an especial interest also. in that il marked the screen debut of Nazimova, whoge acting was superb. While east, Mrs. Wentworth came ! in touch with motion picture man
 1sers. producers, scenario writers, aetors-and everyone connected with the industry were O. the opinion that the old time western photo drama with it's cowboy hero had passed. The melodrama has gone for l ever" said Mrs. Wentworth. Western i pictures arc taboo in the east Peo- 1 pie simply will not go to see them. 1 Mrs, Wentworth admits. however, | that the true western life has beei untouched and who knows but that i the women who prosesses great loce for the desert will be iile author of the greatest photoplay of the year and use Arizona for location.
 1 Mrs Wentworth is established at 1 Chandler for a few weeks. which she said she wished she could extend into
 menths. She is greatly attached to l the sunshine state and passes part of each season here. Her home is in I Santa Barbara.
