BOND ISSUE
MEANS.MUCH
TO VALLEY
Flood Control Assured and
Growing Interest
Evidenced.

Completion of a flood prevention
program made possible by the adop-
ton of a bond issue will add millions
Of dollars to the value of the Rio
Grande valley lands, according to San
Antonio business men interested in
the valley. The money voted will be
used to prevent waters of the Rio
Grande from wasting away the lands.
Heretofore, it is claimed, the ever
present menace of floods in the valley
have prevented the development that
othrwise would have resulted. Some
believed that the possibility Of an oc-
casional overflow prevented a stabili-
zstion of values. This doubt has been
removed, it is claimed.
The extreme drought in some sec
tons of the South, it is said, has at
tracted farmers from many states TO
the valley, and it is expected that the
greatest tide of immigration the valley
has ever known will soon set in.
Agents in many parts of the coun-
try report a growing interest in val
lev lands.

ATTElIPTT0AROUSE
NEGROS AGAINST WHITES

Olander, secretary treasurer ef the

ternational Labor News Service to the
dangerous character Of the literature
being circulated BY Chicago agents Of
the Third international to promote
attendance at the American Negro
Congress. which, It has been announc-

office is given as - South Lincoln

edited and printed at the office of the
Daily Worker, official mouthpiece Of
the Soviet authorities in America.
Attempt to Hide Origin.
A studied effort has been made to
cover up the Bolshevik character Of
the Negro Champion and its place Of
origin, the number accompanying the
union label of the Allied Printing
Trades Council even having been bat
tered so that it would be difficult to
trace where the paper is being
printed.
These efforts at conceaiment were
childish, however, as it is known that
the publication is issued from the
headquarters of William z. Foster and
G. E. Ruthenberg, agents Of the Third
International.
Cartoon Features Issue.
