Suddenly the quiet of the Borden

SEES LESS DRINKING
THAN immortality
Bishop Cannon Tells House Com

Alarming Attitude.
BLAMES WAR FOR LAXITY
Says Country Boys" Were Ex-
posed to Vice in France.

There is more immortality than
drinking among the younger gen.

of Bishop James Cannon, jr., of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
before the House judiciary commit
tee on the many pending bills which
seek to legahze 2.75 per cent beer.
The bishops opinion was given in
reply to a question by Representative
OSullivan, Democrat. Connecticut. as
to whether he did not think there was
more drinking among young men and
women under prohibition.
'An alarming and inexplicable at
titude," the bishop asserted. has de-
veloped among women toward NOR
ais and, things are done now which
would not have been tolerated sew
eral years ago.
Blames War for Laxity.
Bishop Cannon declared the 'freA
moral life of France" had made Its
impression on American morals, and
that the young men who served dur
ing the war had been different since
their return. From his observation
when he was sent to France by the
government to study moral conditions
at the front, the bishop said the
Country boys" were confronted with
conditions of vice such as they had
never before seen.
Asked for his opinion concerning
stories of high school boys carrying
TASKS in their hip pockets, the bishop
said there probably were exceptional
cases where boys might do this out of
a spirit of adventure.
In response to questions concern
ing the Intoxicating effect of beer,
the bishop said he had been somewhat
out of contact with beer drinkers
"since my college days." but added
that some of his classmates used to
get drunk enough" off beer.

BROTHERS AT WESLACO
LOST MONEY TWO YEARS
BUT II ALL CAME BACK

Clell and Harry Solether, who came
to this section from Ohio, did not
find Valley farming profitable the
first two years they were here bur
they are strong for their new hon.
Just the same.
They bought rs acres Of land near
Weslaco for $3.50 and $500 per acre
and moved onto it four years ag'
Although they had been successful
farmers on a large scale in Ohio THEN
first two years in the Valley showed
a deficit because we had to learn
farming all over" they say.
But each of the last two years has
brought them a net profit of almost
500 per acre and they are not think
ingsof going back to Ohio.
u "sWe wouldn't think of going
hack" Harry Solether said. I'VE
like the climate here, the plentiful
supply Of cheap labor, the two crops
per year, the higher class of people;
but most of all we like to grow with
a fast developing country. Because
of the fact that this section has jus,
barely begun its real development,
any young man will find it interest

Products from the plant will include

the class Of work that will be turned
out is shown in the material that is
used in constructing the addition, as all
of this part is being built with prod

Big Trade Area
"Our trade area will include the en-
tire Valley, and we expect to ship as
far north as Kingsville7, Mr.. Bennett
said. I'VE will be able to furnish the
material to Valley builders at a lower
rate than any other producers due to
the fact that our freight rate will be
practically negligible in comparison to
producers having to ship from San An
tonic and Houston.
Belief in the continued progress of
the Valley, and in still more rapid
building than that which has gone on
during the past few years led US to
form this corporation and decide to
construct a huge plant for manufactur-
ing brick and tile in the Vale, Mr..
Bennett continued. Eve were aided in
this by the fact that Valley clay is par
ticula,ly adapted to construction pur-
poses, being Of a finer quality han that
found in most other sections of the

A wonderful result has been attained

There are dozens of big flocks of turkey

There are q number of features con-

that make the sport celebrating, the
most prominent of which is the fierce

The males are armed with fearful
tusks which they can use to almost the
