have already exported 5,S25, 900 bales,

the remaining five and one-half

Agriculture recommended a short

farmers are planning on a slightly

Better Marketing and
Warehouse Facilities
For Producers

GRICULTURAL development in San Antonio's
~ trade territory faces problem needing imme-
4 date attention. If production is to be increased
materially in South and Southwest Texas there must
be improvement in and enlargement of marketing
facilities
Hence it is not with premature haste that special
committee representing the San Antonio Chamber of
Commerce and the real estate board has been vested
with the duty of working out definite plan to provide
warehouse and marketing facilities for this rapidly de-
veloping territory.
Marketing of farm and ranch products is not a
simple matter becomes complex in the absence
of systematic marketing plan production increases
In any marketing involves complex problem
than that of simple production
Any farmer, given ordinary intelligence and knowl-
edge of local methods and conditions raise crop.
But in the marketing of that crop for reasonable profit
he must deal with factors which he, indi-
vidual, has control.
The committee at its initial meeting the other day,
not guilty of presumption in calling the attention
of San Antonio business to their responsibility in
the matter of supplying profitable market That
sponsiblity can be evaded for time. But procrastna
ton will result likely in degree of retardation in
the development of the raw lands in the South and
Southwest and do injury to the prestige of San An
tonic as the capital of its territory.
Anything San Antonio does to provide marketing
facilities for the producers in its territory puts money
not only into the pockets of the producers but also into
the pockets of San Antonians. Anything San Antonio
does in the way of providing warehouse facilities for the
products of field garden and pasture strengthens the
commercial ties between the Alamo City and its sur
rounding trade territory.
We should not overlook the fact that within our
county of Bexar production far from its possible
maximum. New truck gardens are being opened even
the very outskirts of the city. The Medina irrigation
project affects thousand of Bexar land The
possibilities of increased production in this county alone
make imperative closer cooperation between country
and city,
With proper marketing and warehouse facilities,
production in this favored would take of it
self and San Antonio could easily become the leading
trucking and produce center of the United States That
would mean that San Antonio would have unlimited
opportunity for industrial and business expansion.

WASTINGOF MUSCLES
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, New York City.

Fortunately for the human family
there are few physical ailments
transmitte from father to son. With
few exceptions the end of a life
wipes out the debt Of suffering, and
the succeeding generation, has upon
its shoulders no physical mortgage
which must be paid at some incon-
venient time.
But there are a few diseases which
have no better explanation for their
presence than the influence of
heredity. With present knowledge no
other curative factor can be found.
One such disease is called "Mus-
cular Dystrophy," or Progressive
Muscular Dystrophy.'
1t is a wasting Of the muscles
the usual fullness and roundness Of
the involved muscles disappear and
they become flat and powerless.
The child, originally normal in its
movements, and actions, becomes
clumsy and stumbling. Its attitude
in standing is quite changed. The
legs are widely separated. The shout
ders are thrown back 80 far that the
spinal column appears to be badly
bent. This position causes the alb
domen TO protrude prominently.
Walking is difficult. 1t becomes
waddle like a ducks. The muscular
action becomes awkward.
Before the wasting begins the
muscles seem unusually big. They
appear to be swollen and inflated.
But pretty soon the whitening
process begins and the body wastes
away.
There are special forms Of the
disease. In one type the face is in
VOWED. The lips appear prominent
and the eyes cannot be closed.
This trying trouble attacks males
more often than it does females. In
a family IL may appear generation
after generation. As many as five
generations have been involved, the
records show. The unaffected daugh-
ter OF an afflicted father may trans
nit the trouble to her son.
Usually the disease is observed in
childhood. 1t may not show itself
until the age Of 20 or %. II may
come at an older age.

.Life's Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

OF course, nobody really knows
what is going on in child's mind.
We adults think this and guess
that, but how can we be sure?
And this is why we often make
such frightful blunders of child
training.
A child Grief, for example. We
think he is crying because his nurse
will not allow him to play with a
certain toy. The real truth may be
that he is hurt or frightened by the
harsh tone Of voice employed by the
nurse.
1t may be the child's sensitive
ness that has been unwittingly
trampled upon-not selfishness or
stubbornness on his part.
Then take the fairy stories we
read or tell the little ones.
/ often wonder what child must
really think about the utter non
sense of some of them. Indeed, they
are often an insult to an intelligent
child's imagination.
And then the arbitrary manner in
which adults sometimes correct chill
dren must, / fear, make the chill
dren feel resentful.
Since we do not know with abso-
lutte certainty exactly what is going
on in childs thinking, we ought
to assume at least that its mind is
a logical, reasoning piece of ma
chinery and that it is governed by
the same rules of common sense that
control more mature brains.
When children ask questions be
sure you try to give sensible an
swers.
To be sure, the questions fire.
quently come thick and fast and
frequently we feel ourselves hope
lessly unable to explain or to make
adequate reply.
But say you don't know rather
than say Don't ask foolish ques-
TONS"
A child soon learns to discover
a bluff and q fake in the same way
that adults do.
And when children find you out
they don't forgive or forget as
readily as do older folks. They re-
member it and hold it against you.
They arc very unforgiving.
But try to make some rhyme and
reason out of what your child says
and does.
Try to solve the riddles Of his
mind.
Help him in his cropping progress
toward maturity.
Don't be surprised at anything a
child may think!

Interest In Children
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

unhappy may be suffering from
creative imI ulses that are thwart-
ed. The child who embarrasses its
parents by always attracting at
tention to itself when company is
around is probably starved for legit-
innate opportunities to perform.
Children need more chance to
build, to do things, to feel the thrill
Of successful achievement in one
way or another.
Fears, we are informed, may be
the result Of specific experience in
the earliest years.
These are some of the thinRs
Psychologists are telling us.
Discipline is as much a topic Of
discussion as ever. Obedience may
not be the virtue we have always
thought 1t, we are told, for the free
dom Of the child is an object of in
telligent parents these days.
Punishment has undergone many
changes. The dark closet, the fright
ening of children, the beating Of the
helpless innocents-all these are
frowned upon. In their place come
reasoning with children, the light of
explanation, treating children like
grown-ups, and perhaps some judi
cious form Of deprivation.
There are some people who hope
that some day the last spanking will
be administered to children.

Drawn VS.. Brain
By "The Spectator"

Not long ago, the town of Lyck
in Prussia celebrated its five hun
dredth anniversary.
As a climax to the celebration
a trained runner ran TO Berlin
carrying q scroll to President Hin
denburg. The distance was $50
miles and be arrived after having
been on the road six days.
The day after he reached his
destination a slight, sandy-haired
young American several thousand
miles away climbed into a racing
airplane and roaring in 30-mile
circles over the fall landscape of
Long Island and flew 124 miles in
approximately half an hour.
The distance which the trained
runner required six days to cover
the pilot of the tiny, golden winged
biplane would have completed in
about an hour and 30 minutes.
The first performance represents
the legs of man; the second his
brain.
And the two speeds resulting give
a fair estimate Of the relative value
Of life Of the two elements in his
makeup.
Someone has described man as
ga reed, the weakest thing that
grows. but a thinking reed"
Over in southern England last
summer a plague Of hornets was
reported. For some unknown reason
they appeared in great numbers.
Doctors were kept busy treating
those attacked and one man died
from the violence Of their stings.
This was a serious matter TO the
people concerned, but will soon be
forgotten.
No plague Of insects, animals or
reptiles can overcome men perma-
nently because man is a thinking
animal. He thinks while he runs
away or hides. He can think his
way out Of new situations. Ami
mails endowed with instincts and not
highly developed thought machines
may overcome single men, but never
the race.
in the old Neolithic days tigers
with long sabre teeth and oxes as
big as elephants were lords OF the
land. They made the lowbrowed'
ponderous-j awed Neanderthal man
cover in his cave.
Today the fierce descendants Of
the once assembled animals are kept
in cages IL the ZOO and gazed at By
little children and talked about as
euriosities, as rapidly disappearing
specimens fading before the advance
Of thinking man.
Strength Of muscle can never take
the place Of brains.
Nothing can take the place Of
brains.
Both the history Of the race and
the individual depends largely upon
how the brain is developed and used.
The wise man is the one who real
lies this and gives the development
Of his mind first consideration.

Parenthood is a live topic nova
days. More people than ever before
in the worlds history seem to be
talking about the duties of par
ents.
The whole question of bringing up
children and the parent-alild ,rela-
tionship are receiving new light.
A recent play, "Are Parents Poo
ple?" asks a very searching ques-
ton, and distinguished Boston pro-
fessor writes of parents Who
Haven't Grown Up" in a monthly
magazine.
New ideas about parents and chill
dren are being given to the world.
For these we are indebted to various
people-to psychologists, to educa-
tors. to sociologists, and others.
Even parents have become psy-
biologists and educators and sociol-
ogists on their own account. They
have decided that since they bring
up children they are the ones who
ought to know most about them.
For this reason child study groups
among parents are growing and
should be encouraged. They are a
good thing.
Two fathers on a train the other
day, both holding copies of news
paper open at the financial page,
were overheard talking about bring
ing up children.
We are told that the child who is
