bridge. connecting Hidalgo. in Texas
with Reynosa. in Mexico Both old
towns. Reynoss perhaps a little

Hidalgo as port has been cns
merely for local trading. There;
every reason to believe that il viii

THE CURTIS Publishing Com
pany. publishers of the Ladies' Home
journal. the Saturday Evening Post
land the Country Gentleman Is among
the large users of newspaper space
>for advertising.
A few days ago their circulation
manager was addressing a conven-
5tion in Ph ladelphia In the course
tof his talk he mentioned the fact
THAT his company has been investing
from half million to a million dol
Liars in newspaper advertising each
,year for quite a period Of years.
I No wonder they get circulation!
You see the shrewd and successful
magazine publisher knvws the value
of newspaper space for retailing his
Incidentally, this same circulation
manager stated clearly that the
value of newspaper advertising is
complete without any subterfuge in
the form cf fake news or trumped-
up publicity. He stated that the

G. n. PEASE. who has been in
California. has been writing inter

a California planter and orchard
. owner. and Of his particular interest
Z in a species Of blackberry. Of which
we quote here:
"'I want to show you some berr es
I have in the field yonder.'" said his
4 host. II followed him." Mr.. Pease
goes on to say. Into the field where
were peach trees with blackberry
vines in between. They were load
ed with berries an inch long and
very delicious. Grabbing up a long
v.ne Mr.. Champion drew it through
his closed hand. II was absolutely
thornless.
"'You should try these in Texas,

"If any of my readers care to
make the experiment. write to Mr.. Z.
C. Champion. Delhi. California. and
arrange to get few plants OF the
Cary Thornless Blackberry for try

succeed in the Delta, they should
prove very profitable. for they are
exceedingly prolific"

EVIDENTLY THE ministers OF
agriculture and irrigation IN the
Egyptian government. at Cairo, are
not at all worried over the informa-
tion, conveyed to them by cable
some weeks ago, that the water OF the
Rio Grande il n thousand times, OF
some such figure, richer than the
waters of the Nile.

either deny or confirm the state

Silence in this case may mean
contempt for our claims. Or it may
mean their Acknowledgement.
Anyhow, the Rio Grante will con-
tinuc to provide fertility for the
soils Of the Lower Rio Grande VAL
