A Correction

Mr.. James refutes all statements
made III regard to him in our last
weeks issue. He denounces the
rumor as without foundation and
absoIutel groundless.
On the other hand, the account
in regard to Mr.. BARS conduct is
authentic. The editors recind their
statement and humbly rectify the
error. They still desire to maintain
their stand-pat policy as "a chronic
Ter OF the neglected truth"

April first was celebrated in C. III. S.
in the usual way. The spirit of the
occasion made itself manifest in
divers small ways. Tacks, spitwads,
ETC., were strangely scarce, although
suppose that just joke on every
one. Even Mr.. Bair caught the gay
spirit of the occasion and indulged
in few appropriate pranks which
were enjoyed by all. Mr.. Baldwin
was also informed that he had drop
ped paper and on looking around
was treated with that jolly old jest

Valley PERMANENT
SAYS BUSINESS man

"The Valley has a prosperity which is

place to locate a business permanently

with a view to moving a $I15,000 stock
Of notions to some town in this section.
The firm is known as Nj. f. Dodd and
Son. N
i.Bristow had the usual boog pros
perity of an oil town. Mr.. Dodd said,
but the oil drove the farmers out and
now that the oil boom is over the peak
Of prosperity is passed. The Valley is
growing and prospecting but not with
the boom of an oil field. | consider
that its expansion is on a firm founda-
ton and It lasting. That is why | am
planning TO move here"
This WAS Mr.. Dodd's second trip to the
Valley, the first being in February OF
this year, and he declared that he could
see a big development in that time. His
store will likely be in Harrington.

Harlingen and San Juan
Presses Handle $4,000
: Bales; Shed to Be Ex-
tended Next Year

Two compresses in the Valley. owned
By the Arkansas Compress company. with
headquarters at Corpus Christi. have
sufficient storage to facilitate shipments
to shipside for export or to the mills
of the United States. according to X. NJ.
Loving, superintendent of the plant at
Harrington. The other plant is located at
San Juan.
The Harrington plant is operating for
the second season and the San Juan
plant has just clostd it's first seaen, and
both have been successful.
During the season of 1924 the Har-
lingen plant compressed 4 1000 bales.
Early in November this plant had handl-
ed $1,000 bales and likely will handle
several thousand more bales before the
close Of the season.
The San Juan press handled l.. 900
baies, the first year of its operation, and
has closed down.
The Arkansas Compress company, or
ganized at Arkansas Pass in 1912. now
operates presses at Sinton, and Robs-
Town besides the ones in the Valley and
has warehouses in Bishop, Sinton and
Robstown. J.. X. Cain Of Corpus Christi
is president Of the concern.
The TFess at Harrington is surrounded
with sufficient platform storage room
TO accommodate 5000 bales and by the
beginning of the next season all Of this
will be under shed. according to Mr..
Loving. Up to the present time about
half Of the platform has been under a
shed bat not a single bale ever has been
damaged through exposure to the wealth
er, the manager said.
The San Juan. plant has sufficient
storage for about 1000 bales and this
also will be under a shed by the begin
ming Of the next cotton ginning season.
OF the cotton, handled at the Harlingen
press this year IL, 137 bales were local
cotton. that is cotton which was ginned
in the immediate Harrington territory and
sold in Harlingen. These figures do
not include approximately 1000 bales of
Farm Bureau contract, cotton handled
over the platform.
Besides the inestimable value of the
service Of these plants to the Valley
shipper of cotton, the pay rolls of the two
presses play a large part in the presently
Of the section in which they operate. n
large number of workmen are employed
during the season and thousands of dol
lars are paid in wages. The pay roll for
the Harrington plant to the present time
is approximately $4,000 according to
Mr.. Loving, and the San Juan press
while il wa operating paid out about
$1,000.
A valuable service rendered to the
farmer by these plants is the cOncentra-
ton privilege. MFR. Loving pointed out
Al concentration charge of 80 cents per
bale is made and a storage charge of not
more than 10 rents Yer bale for each
additional thirty days of storage likely
will be made next year he said. This is
less than the damage from rain
weuld ahonnt to. it was pointed out.

them. We passed other boats. 1t
didn't seem as though there could be
room for us, but there was. They nat
urally knew what they were doing!
"At night the canals were lighted,
and it was like going through Fairy
land in a big boat It seemed so mag
ical that one would not have been sur
prised at anything
'It took ten hours longer to go along
the canal route than it would to go
down the river where one could shoot
the rapids The rapids have certainly
shown they were the ones in authority.
.'Yet there is something very SPLEEN
did, too, about mans power in not al
lowing nature to get the better of
him For these canals were built
along a river which is filed with rap
ids, and which could not be much used
had it not been for what man has
done.
1--WE Travelled later past many won
derful islands of all sizes, but kept
thinking of canals and locks and of
big boats which could go only through
a canal route because where there are
rapids big boats cannot go and shoot
them, because of the amount Of water
they draw.
"And I do not believe | will ever
forget stopping for oil by the side of,
the canal was going to say by the
side of the road, for it seemed just
like that
"And we passed by many boys who
dove for us in. the canal waters.
Splendid dives we did see
$50 now whenever the word canal
is spoken think of my trip where we
were rising up and up and keeping
even with a river bed and of sailing
through green meadows in the brilliant
afternoon sunshine.
''Of course I have only gone along
the canals and locks in one part of
the country, but advise any one who
ever has chance to take canal
trip to do so, for the experience is
very interesting and the sensation of
being on a boat which rises up along
a river bed through system of locks
is amazing to say the least.
"And it doesn't seem to me that
1t can ever be properly understood I'M
til one sees it for ones self. know
I never understood canals and locks
until 1 saw them for myself"
