~CHICAGO, H., Dec. 7.-Convinced
that cooperative marketing with gov
ernmental encouragement offers the
best possible solution of the farmers
problem, President Coolidge intends
to give the movement his active and
energetic assistance. He is opposed
to proposals that the government sell
and buy farm products or fix prices
directly or indirectly. Further, he
believes present tariff duties benefit
the farmer and should not be revised.
Outlining his views on the agricul-
tural situation and proposed remedies
in an address today at the annual con-
vetion here of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the president said
that despite its present embarrass-
ments, agriculture as whole should
lead industry in future prosperity.
81 believe that the past history of
the relative trend of prices between
farm products and other commodities
is of tremendous significance, he
told his audience, made up Of rep
resehtative farmers. "The surplus

new CONGRESS
Insurgent Fight on Son
in-Law of Roosevelt
Fails; Senate Marks
Time on Opening Day
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. Mich
olas Longworth, republican of Ohio, to-
day was elected speaker of the new
house
He received the necessary majority
spite the refusal of the republican in
surgents to support him.
The insurgents voted for Henry Al
len Cooper of Wisconsin, who led the
LaFollette attack on President Coolidge
and his policies at the Cleveland repub-
lican convention last night. The dem
ocratic candidate was Finis Garrett of
Tennessee, the house democratic floor
leader
Longworth received 229 Of the 420
votes cast. The vote for Garrett was
173 and for Cooper 10. Five voted
present.
WASHINGTON, u. G., Dec. 7-Con-
gress Gang back into session today af.
ter its longest recess in years.
With the opening ceremonies at noon
the big republican majorities rolled up
in the Coolidge landslide in 1924, took
the saddle in both senate and house
but kept weather eye on the demo-
Gratis and insurgents who again were
threatening coalition against some
of the pet projects of the administra-
tion.
With almost mid-session momentum
the house put the new tax reduction
bill at the head of its calendar and
prepared to go to work at once.
Meanwhile the senate was organized
lesurely and putting off its day of
decision regarding recognition to be
given republican Insurgents on its big
committees.
In the house that issue had been set
tied by the open revolt Of the Wiscon-
sin delegation against the party slate
Of house officials.
But even without their help the re-
publican organization had votes to
spare for election Of the speakership
of Nicholas Longworth Of Ohio, son-in-
law Of Theodore Roosevelt.
Introduction. of bills was not in or
der in the senate during its brief ses-
sion. but hundreds of legislative pro-
posals were showered downNon the desk
of the clerk of the house.
Among them were suggested solutions
for most Of the major issues now be-
fore the country, including the problem
Of prohibition, Representative Hill, re-
publican, Maryland, proposed in for
nal resolution to dispose Of the archi-
bition question by repeating the eigh-
teenth amendment.
The three women members Of the
house all were on the floor wlen the
session opened Mrs. Rogers Of Mas
sachusetts and Mrs. Kahn. Of Califor-
MIA, on the republican side, and Mrs.
Norton Of New Jersey with the demo-
Gratis.
The credentials of Gerald +. Nye, as
senator designate from North Dakota,
were referred by the senate to the priv
ileges and elections committee.

IN OUR
VALLEY
HE fifth annual Valley Mid Winter
Fair is now history

ralr is now history.
The final check-up has shown what
the Valley fair can and will do under
favorable weather conditions.
Something like 10000 persons enter
ed the gates during the five days ex-
position. This was more than three
times the attendance that has ever
before been recorded
The gate receipts were something
like $4,000, or more than three times
the largst amount received in any pre-
vious- year.
The fair probably has made a nice
profit this year. 1t will be in position
to wipe out debts accumulated in pre-
vious years and establish credit for
future operations
1t is possible to develop quite won-
derful Valley-wide fair in this institu-
tion at Harlingen.
This year has been the longest step
forward.
President Bob Stuart and General
Manager Will G. Fields, their directors
and co-laborators are all deserving of
a great deal of credit for their efforts.
Last February the then secretary of
war, Mr.. Weeks, advised r. B. Creager
of Brownsville that the war department
realized the governments moral obli-
cation in connection with Brazos Sar-
tiago harbon
That letter of Mr.. Weeks to Mr..
Creager may have some bearing on the
visit to Brownsville Of Engineer For

~ olv -
Mr.. Forman visited the rock 1uarries
at Monte Christie. He went there, it
is said, to investigate the poss;b 'lty of
the use of that rock in some sort of
work at Brazos Santiago harbor
This rock can be delivered to Point
Isabel at $1.60 per ton.
There is also rock around Aldamas,
Mexico But its transportation may be
more expensive.
Yes. there may be something develop
ing son this harbor proposition. The
federal government has not lost sight
Of Brazos Santiago it is quite apparent.
Brazorias county, in an election Fri
day, decided to oSganize navigation
district for the development Of a har-
bor at the mouth of the Brazos river.
One million dollars in port bonds will
be sold.
The vote was 2297 to 924 Indicates
an extraordinary interest in Brazoria
county for a harbor.
But that harbor. being so near Gal
weston, Houston Beaumont and Port
Arthur probably will have slow growth,
except in helping develop the sulphur
deposits there.
Point Isabel Is the most isolated sec
tion of the coast, insofar as available
and practicable harbors are concerned.
Some day there will be great port
at Isabel. 1t will have to start on a
small scale and develop, just as do most
business enterprises.
Anyhow, Jupiter Pluvius was kind to
the Lower Rio Grande Valley last week.
There were hundreds of visitors dur
ing the week, and fair weather pre-
vailed throughout season that in
most years has been more or less rainy.
The Valley never looked more beau
tiful.

Imposition Threatens
State Regarding Care
Children Says Cornish

1--WE are making a special effort TO
protect the state from imposition,
stated CRUDE Cornish, secretary OF
the state board Of charities and cor
rections, in speaking of the economy
which is being applied to the care OF
the state children. 1T is probably
true that many children have been
committed by the courts at the re-
quest of town officials who desired
to shift the financial burden. to the
state. It is likewise true that many
children are committed into our Gus
tody because Of lack of ability on the
part of many selectmen to properly
place and supervise the dependent
children.
"The real effective social service
must look to the future OF these
children. Restoration to parents
may not solve the really big problem
it will, possibly but for short time,
decrease the financial liability of the
state. In many cases delinquency Is
apt to appear and thereby compel the
state to care for their children at a
greater expense than it now costs to
train these children to become use
full citizens. The complete perform
ance of a public duty is best in the
end and although the cost may seem
burdensome today the social erect
will be beneficial to all concerned.
Sec. Cornish pointed out that the
appropriation for the work Is not
sufficient.

Gov. Brewster made the following
statement in regard to the passing
away of Councilman Burnham:
"In the passing of Honorable
Ralph F. Burnham of Auburn in the
very prime of his life the State of
Maine has lost public servant who
brought to the public business ex-
actly the same standards of integ-
rity and devotion that he practiced
in private life. Amid all the respon-
sibilities and preoccupations of
building a successful business known
far beyond the bounds of the State
of Maine he yet found time and in
clination to serve well his city and
his state.
"As a member of the Executive
Council he brought to it's delibera-
tions that same intimate and stead
fast interest in the problems of the
State that had marked his earlier
service in the community where he
long lived. His city and his state
must share with his family a COM
mon loss but he has left an enduring
memorial in his varied contributions
to n community that has progressed
and in a shining example of public
service upon a high plane"
