exhibits, attendance and intCrts., is the
prediction Of the community vice -presi-
dents and members of the entertain
ment committee, who attended the meet
ing at Harlingen last week TO make final
arrangements for preparing the recent
ly acquired fair site.
The Valley Fair Association has pur-
chased a. acres Of the Lon c. Hill land
one mile north of Harlingen, and crews
of men started work last week grading
the race track. cleaning the grounds and
hauling materials for the grandstand
and other buildings. Several buildings
which were on the site when the pur-
chase was made are being remodeled,
and will be used to house part OF the
exhibits. and several additional build
ings will be erected for this purpose.
Stables for the race horses will soon
be under construction. and work OF
erecting a grandstand, capable Of accom-
modating $500 spectators will be un-
der way in few days. Two huge tents
have also been secured by the assoeia-
tion to house exhibits, il being impossi-
bic TO erect all the necessary buildings
before the fair opens.

the best TO be found in the vicinity OF
Harlingen. 1t is oblong in shape. and the
race track, stables and grandstand will
be constructed on the north half. The

roadway sc feet in width is being con-
structed around the entire site. and
similar road will divide 1t through the
center, running between the race track
and exhibit buildings.
Association Well Organized
One feature which will aid mate
rally in making the 1928 fair greater
success than any Of its predecessors is
the fact that never before has there
been such an effective organization per
fected for the promotion of this insti-
tuition. The association is capitalized at
$4,000. and this year is well financed.

National Educational Bill

"GNe me a renl reason why we
should have Department Of Educa-
tion with Secretary in the Presi-
dents Cabinet Never mind the
theory; tell ME some concrete facts 20
The request was made by a Member
Of Congress, who has always been op-
posed to the Education bill, creating
Department OF Education.
Here, Mr.. Legislator are two facts;
terrible facts, when II Is considered
that they come from the Capital Of the
greatest Nation in the world.
Washington, ID. c., the Federal City.
the Capitol, the home Of the Govern
ment, the cynosure of all eyes, must
coDtinue to use, next school year, his
tories which were printed before the
war, which teach that the Kaiser is
the head of the German monarchy,
which teach that Russia is ruled by a
Gar which are old, out Of date, and
untruthful. Washington must use
these books, or none. because the Ma
tional Legislature, Mr.. Legislator, will
not appropriate enough Of Washing
toms own money to allow Washington
to buy Washington children truthfU
histories.
A medical survey Of Washington's
school buildings; old, out of date, badly
ventilated, and ill-eQuipped for the
most part; shows that in many cases
children sitting in the inside row of a
school room receive under certain con
ditions, but three-tenths of foot can
dlepower of light when the absolute
lowest amount that should be had for
reading is four foot candlepower..
A Department of Education would
no more permit such schools to exist,
without a public protest which would
be heard from coast to coast, than will
the Public Health Service permit a
city to maintain cess-pool in the mid
die of its public square.
The United States now spends mill
lions untold for worthy public pur-
poses; the canal, reclamation, forests,
rivers and harbors, public roads. We
need the canal, we need reclamation,
we need to preserve our forests. we
need to dredge our rivers and harbors,
we need national highways and good
roads everywhere. But we also need
education and good schools, and well
lighted schools, and truthful school
books, and well paid. well taught
teachers.
Mr.. Legislator, is there any theory
about the conditions in Washington?
And do you think they could exist
had we a Department of Education, a
central authority to lead. to demon
strate, to show, to help, to inspire us
all to the best not the worst, means Of
making real American citizens out OF
our greatest national wealth-our

A Telephone Nation

In 1877 the number Of telephones
per hundred population in both the
United States and Europe was none.
In 1899 the United States had less
than one telephone per hundred popu-
lation and Europe had barely a.frac-
tion of a telephone. In 1921 Europe
had a little better than one telephone
per hundred population while the Uni
ted States had risen to more than
thirteen telephones per hundred pop
ulatlon and now has a total of A.
100000 in use, which is twO-thirds of
all the telephones in the world.
In this country there is about one
telephone to every two farm dwell
lings. convenience unheard Of in
other countries. This wonderful tele-
phone development is due to efficient
organizations to the cumulative eff
feet and Importance of investments
great and small in all the apparatus
and equipment required for the trans
mission Of speech as well as to the
foresight and business acumen of those
who have directed the policy of the
Bell system from the beginning, and
to the fact that in this country tele-
phone development has been left to
private enterprise under Reasonable
governmental regulation.

Of tho girls disappearance.
Tho Rev. J. E crowther, pastor OF

church was shocked at the disappear.
ance OF the girl. and feels that she
has been kidnapped. Miss Austin was
going to church about Ti5 Sunday

i. and 4ist St. some unknown fate
overlook her. Tint Is the corner
where her hat was found by Thomas

no was returning from an hours
walk.
Miss Austin had left a girls home
conducted by Miss Margaret Mclean
az SIT Willard ST.. and would have
passed the corner where her hat was
found In following her customary
route to the church. Patterson says
he had passed the spot at O'Clock
when starting on his walk and the
hat was not there at the time. The
hat was Identified By Miss Leila
Austin. a sister OF the missing girl.
Theories were advanced that the
girl was struck by a reckless mo-
torist, knocked down and killed and
that her body was carried away. II
was also thought possible that "the
sluggcr." the fiend who attacked
many women in various parts OF Sc.
attic a few years ago. may have at.
tackled the girl and carried her away
In nearby automobile. after
knocking her unconscious.
The police have practically aban.
doned the theory that the girl threw
herself into the canal In n 1T OF
melancholia, as she had safely passed
over the canal and her hat was only
