more food and make more money is

or an investment, and not ask you to
put up one cent Of money for the

not find these lands and our county

WHY Is IT?

Uncle Sam has his eye on the
Lower Rio Grande Valley?
|. That when the government took
over the railroads and cut all excur-
ion rates. they accepted the special
low rates to the Lower Rio Grande
Valley of Texas j,
Because Mr.. NcAdoo sent govern
ment men into this valley to invesA
tigate our lands and see what the
farmers were doing In the way Of
producing corn. cattle and hogs and
other foodstuffs. and decided that
we were entitled to these rates. Why
is 1t, that the president of our COM
pany Is living on his farm in this
valley and farming several hundred
acres OF this land himself? Because
he Is making money BY doing so and
prefers living there to any other
place on earth.
Why is it that Mr.. Joe Crane Of
Des Moines. state manager for the
company for Iowa and Missouri, sold
his beautiful home In Des Moines
and moved his family to the lower
Rio Grande valley. and he and his
two sons are farming 1000 acres of
that land themselves this year, using
4S mules and three tractors and en-
ploying about 60 men? Because he
can make more money farming this
land there than he can by selling it.
And because his family would rath-
or live there than In Iowa. III
Why is 1t that Mr.. Chas. Ladd,
Government Reclamation Agent, who
has been at the head of this depart
ment for the past ten years at a sal
airy of $12.000.09 per year, and who
has examined every reclamation and
land project in the United States, re-
signed his position with the Govern
ment the first OF the year and put
his money into land In this valley.
and is actively engaged in the oper-
alton and development Of same at
the present time? Because he knows
good thing when he sees it, and is
not afraid to back up his judgment
with his money.
Why Is it that eleven statesmen
who have been working for this
company in the past two years, quit
their jobs with the company and
moved their families there and went
to farming their own land?
Because they, like Mr.. Craze, have
learned that the men who are max
ing the big money are the men who
buy land and farming 1t. and not
the one who are selling It.
Why is II that next year Mr.. Nc
Adoo is sending the government en-
gineer with US TO report on the adj
visibility of installing larger dam
and power plant at the river. where
by they can water all the land in the
valley by gravity instead of pump
ing 1t out of the river as they are
now doing. and to furnish electric
ity for all the towns In the valley
from this government plant-the
profits from this power plant to pay
for the entire cost OF construction,
without cent of cost to the farmers
thus enabling them to get their wat

BEATING THE GERMANS

The family of a reserve officer In
the American army who lived in
France before the war, occupies q
flat in Paris. His wife recently gave
birth to son. The officer was
anxious to inform his mother-in-law
of this happy event by cable. He
wrote as follows:
Robert M. Jr., eight pounds
arrived safely"
The censor was adamant. II can
not pass that" he said. THE rule
is specific in forbidding mention Of
the names Of Americans arriving in
France" The officer re-wrote the
message as follows:

born safely"
Whereupon the censor beamingly
wrote his o. X. The German Intelli
gence Department was baffled.-

100000 being already advised by con-
gress to be loaned to the farmers Of
this valley for twenty years without

plant? Because Uncle Sam recog-
nizee this to be the most productive
valley in the United States of Amer
lea, and on these recommendations
government officials are investing
their money In these rich lands in
this fertile valley, as they know they
are the safest investment and will
pay larger returns on the investment
than on any other lands in the world
today.

going into this valley every two

SAVING TIME

The number of trucks owned and
used by farmers in this section is
increasing very rapidly. Formerly
it would take a farmer most of the
day to hitch up his team and drive
to town and back home again. Now
he can makethe trip on the road in
an hour or SO and have more time
to do his trading or whatever he
wishes to do In town.

Pineapples Catch Crop

Although pineapples are grown rather extern

this fruit being Of the most fourishing OF the
minor industries there appears to be little definite

production in the different localities according to
Consul Harry Campbell, detailed as vice consul
at Singapore, Straits Settlements
Pineapples are for the most part raised as a
catch crop In connection with rubber plantations.
since they can be grown very easily and with little
cost between the rubber trees during the first
two or three years Of their growth. This pro-
cedure has been especially attractive to planters
(mostly Chinese) having small holdings on the
island of Singapore 1t affords the planter an In
come during the years that the rubber trees are
coming into bearing. while proximity to the can

brave men involved, although vastly outnumbered

Usher, from general to private did the full meas
ure of his duty to his country and to civilization.
and that thousands Of them paid for that duty
with their blood or with their lives.
Inspired by such experiences, it is wonder
FIAT General White is n bit impatient with the
Britisher or Canadian who has been under the
protection Of the British flag for years, who has
enjoyed the liberty and the various advantages
claimed by those living or claiming the rights of
those living under that flag and yet who declines
to come forward of his own volitOn and help

Several months no doubt will pass before the
conventions providing reciprocal draft privileges
are approved by the United States senate and
arrangements are perfected for making the draft
effective. The reason the United States senate
must first pass on the conventions Is because ex-
listing treaties between the United States and
Great Britain to be changed somewhat by
them.
One odd phase Of the situation and one that
causes Some confusion is the different age period
Of the draft in the United States, Great Britain
and Canada. Britshers from eighteen to forty
one may be drafted, Canadians between twenty
and thrty-four. and citizens of the United States
between twentyone and thirty-one. Still another
odd phase Is the first papers proposition. The
United States draft authorities claim every Brit
Usher and Canadian who has taken out first natur-
alization papers, but these men are all regarded
British subjects by the British government and
such not only at liberty to volunteer but SUBJ
ject to the British and Canadian draft provisions
they become effective In the United
States. H.t .4.

madam recruiting mission under the leadership
OF Brig. Gen. W. A. White, G. NJ. G., to draft every
Britisher and Canadian now residing in the United
States, and the United States to draft every one
OF Its citizens who lives in Great Britain or
Canada.
This Is very important matter, particularly
for the Britishers and Canadians, because there
are at least 100000 of them over whom Old Glory
waves, and the names and addresses of at least
175OOO Of them are known to General White and
his staff because they have been taken from the
draft records Of the United States Many of
these are coming forward every day of their own
accord. but the recruiting mission wants every
man Of them who is physically fit to volunteer for
the British or Canadian armies. About $4,000
have already gone into these armies, and in one
month recently over half Of the recruits secured
for the Canadian expeditionary forces came from

When Brigadier General White asks man TO

himself in getting into the fray is shown by the
fact that he reached Belgium about August 6,
