ing the necessity for concerted VAL

Isabel ut the earliest possible date.
It was the unanimous verdict that

preparation bill is through congress
riot should be undertaken.
Arroyo Not Rival Project
s. Finley Ewing. mayor Of Harlin-
gen, stated that many residents OF
the Valley we're under a ~misconcep-
tion In regard 70 the Arroyo Naviga~
tion district, being under the impress
sion hat it was d rival project
Il was a member of one OF the

~veloprnent Of the Arroyo Colorado,
and / am confident Harlingen will be
practically unanimous i'm aiding any
effort TO secure deep water &C Point

Gordon Griffin and o. r. Archer OF
McAllen took the view that the Val
ley would be virtually unanimous In
support of the project, Mr.. Griffin
stating that the harbor was OF such
Importance to the Valley interests
that they should not fail 10 meet any
requirement the government may inn
pose.
Other speakers included John
Shnry or Mission. John Loriax OF San
Benito, G. r. Tyrrell. Brownsville:
James Bowie, San Benito; County
Judge A. W. Cameron Of Edinburg,
Judge O. Ct. Dancy Of Brownsville, w.
Z. Anderson Of San Benito and A. J.
McColl Of Point Isabel. Each ex-
pressed the opinion that. the advices
received from Galveston were very
favorable to the Valley interests,
and that no delay should BE- permit
ted in putting over the port project
as soon as action il taken by con
gress.
In his preliminary address Mr..
rreager outlined the situation at
Point Isabel. stating that in order to
assure an IS-foot channel u would be
necessary TO carry the ietties out TO
the ls-foot depth, q distance OF
about 5000 feet. This would assure
protection against wave and tide
action and prevent the channel fill
ing.
Mr.. Creager estimated that the
principal cost Of the harbor would be
in the j~etties. He also pointed out
that II the government appropriates
$1,000 per year for maintenance,
capitalization Of this amount at a
per cent would make the harbor vir-
tually a S5,000.000 project.

John Shary, Judge Dancy and n. B.
Creager each stressed the necessity
for the Valley to direct its efforts
toward that goal. Mr.. Creager ex-
planned that a 30-foot project could
be worked cut merely by deepening
the channels and extending the let
ties about 100 feet further than will
be required for the 18-foot project.
and that the present project could
be considered virtually as a POUNDS.

lGOnLlUQGQ from page 0nCt
from Washington indicate that every
possible effort will be made to ex-
pedite the port recommendations and
place them in the hands Of the
house committee in ample time to
assure inclusion in the rivers and
harbors budget OF the present SEES
sion. Representative Dempsey Of
New York, chairman OF the rivers
and harbors committee, and General
Edwin Jadwin, chief of the army en-
gineers, have assured prompt action
as 0 o as the report and recommen-
dations are placed before them.
Mr.. CreaRer deemed 10 advisable
for a strong committee TO GO to
Washington in order TO impress upon
congress that the port project ~
Of vital interest TO the Valley and
that every section Of the Valley III
prepared to cooperate in any connec-
tion with any conditions the federal
government may impose.
Discuss Navigation District
It was the consensus of the meet
ing that IN the event the tentative
recommendations Of Col. Schley are
incorporated in the rivers and har-
bors appropriations the organization
Of a navigation district will be essen
tial. A ~four-county district, com
prising the counties Of Starr, Will
lacy, Hidalgo and Cameron, created
By a special act Of the legislature,
vas suggested, but no definite action
in this connection will be inaugarated
until action is taken by congress.
q. r. Tyrel, president of the Port
Isabel conpany, informed the meet
ing that the company IL acquiring
$40 acres Of state land along the
southern edge of the townsite, and
the entire tract, or such portion OF
it as a navigation district may de-
sire for wharves, terminals, channels
or other facilities, would be avail
able, the district TO reimburse the
company for thevery nominal cost Of
acquiring the land. Upon motion 4
committee consisting Of J.. . Cham
bers, John Shary, Jas. Bowie, J.. e..
Fernandez and r. B. Creager was ap-
pointed to negotiate with the Port
Isabel company and secure an option
on the land, this option 20 be turned
over to the navigation district as
soon as the district is organized.
Mr. Creager explained that the
fact the Valley could assure the fed
eral government that excellent
terminal and wharf sites would b.
secured would carry considerable in
fluence.
VIII Transfer Sites
THE Port Isabel company stands
ready TO transfer all necessary lands
for channels and terminals" Mr..
Tyrell said, and suggested that the
contract be drawn at the earliest
possible date and a copy presented
the board Of army engineers Mt
Washington.
The appropriation is expected 10
be conditioned upon the Valley in
terests providing such funds and
other cooperation as the bill NAV i'm
pose, and il was the unanimous YER
dict OF the meeting that the only way
IN which these conditions could be
met would be through a navigation
district, and that the district should
include the four Valley counties. IL
was pointed ont that every section
Of the Valley would benefit and that
the burden would be so equally dis.
tributed that IL would constitute No
hardship for any part Of the Valley.
Practically every city in the Valley
was represented, and there was per-
feet u%nanimity Of sentiment regard

THE POTATO MARKET

New potatoes are cheap. almost
dirt cheap, too cheap. -
Whether the price of the early
potatoes has any bearing on the price
which the Itasca county farmer will
receive for the late CROP is a ques-
ton. Some say that it has, that
cheap early potatoes mean cheap late
potatoes. Others would advance a
theory that one crop has no influence
on the other, and, in fact, that a low
price on early potatoes develops the
public's appetite TO such an extent
that the early crop is all eaten up
and the markets cleared for fall.
Any way you look at it, the potato
market is gamble. We have yet to
see a person who can foretell it. Dc
not try. The farmer who has a regu-
lar plan of selling his crop at certain
times of the year, whether the mar
ket is high or low, usually hits it the
best
There is no crop in which there is
greater need of a strong stabilizing
influence Grand RaEds Herald

REPUTATION THROUGH
ADVERTISING

Two men were recently discussing
the value of the stock of a certain
corporation. One of them said he
did not think too favorably of it's
value, and thought the company was
not as well established as some he
named
But have you seen how that COM
pany is advertising" was the reply.
''They are reaching out very extern
sively to acquaint the public with
their product. They are making their
goods very widely known, and that
concern is sure to go ahead. I am
going to hold my stock in that COM
pany, as it is sure to become much
more valuable"
You can hear conversations like
that every day in the business world.
The we'll advertised concern gets a
reputation that the poorly advertised
one finds it extremely difficult to at
tain. Bankers would probably be
reader to lend money to the we'll adj
vertised one. They would feel that
it is building up day by day a good

INDIRECT TAXATION

North Dakota voters will have SUBJ
mitted to them at the November cleo
tion a proposal to bond the state in
the sum of $25,OOO,0OO with which
to make good the Bank Deposit Guar
antee Law passed by the cohorts of
King Arthur Townley in the palmy
days of the Nonpartisan regime. In
recent years so many banks failed
in North Dakota that there is no
possibility of the depositors receiving
anything within the lifetime of this
generation, so now comes the proposal
to pass the deficit on to ALL the tax
payers of the state-just as has been
passed on all the other deficits created
by the Socialist experiments INDUCED
in. The State Bank, the State Home
builders Law, the State Mill and Ele-
vator, the State Creamery, etc., etc.,
have cost several million dollars
with the end not yet in sight; and now
comes the proposal to load on an
other twenty-five million! The Record
has for many years been trying to
point out the fallacy of some of these
experiments in government, and has
been trying to convince our readers
that ultimately all the losses come
back to the pocket of the taxpayers.
Cover and conceal it as you will, indi-
rect taxation is a menace and should
be eliminated once and for all time!

THE HABIT OF THRIFTY

Lots of people expect to acquire
all their good habits in their second
childhood.
And one of the good habits long
put off is thrift.
Often this habit does come in Sec
ond childhood. With appetites and
.'tssions burned out of the decaying
mind and body, old men may find
themselves freed from temptations
and wrongly consider their condition
due to ripened virtue.
But thrift, like any other virtue
forced upon one by nature, is apt to
find it's environment unhealthy and to
curdle into penurious meanness.
If thrift is TO be wholesome and
sweet and fruitful it must be en-
braced while the mind and body are
healthy and vigorous.
Thrift is a composite quality. 1t
embraces within itself nearly all of
the great virtues. 1t implies industry,
prudence, forethought, self-denial 1t
certainly has no relation to niggard-
illness or meanneSS. Some men would
let their grandmothers starve to
death for the sake of few dollars.
That cannot be called thrifty.
And virtue carried to excess be-
comes vice and is no longer a
virtue. Thrift that does not take into
partnership honesty and charity sours
into covetousness and avarice.
True thrift is the opposite of thrift
lessness, prodigality, improvidence
and waste.
Thrift means better homes and bet
ter food, more comfort and enjoyment,
less waste and less anxiety.
Out of it grow quickened energies,
firmer courage, more stalwart thought
and hope, more orderly citizenship,
education and a good chance in life
for the children, and the independ-
ence and self-respect that life aim
less, hopeless drudges up to true
manhood.-The Northwest Post.

will that is bound to keep business
coming in good.
This principle applies both to man
ufacturing concerns and to retail
stores, The concern that is constant
ly advertising, is creating perman-
ent good will that keeps trade coming
to it right along. There is kind of
momentum in that trade.
A railroad train with a powerful
locomotive will run long distance
on level ground after the locomotive
has shut off its power. by the force
of momentum acquired when it was
run on full steam So well adver-
tised business might quit advertis-
ing entirely for quite a time, and
trade would keep coming in. That
would be mistaken policy, because
the good will that had been acquired
would gradually be dissipated, but it
shows that the full returns of adver-
Using are not obtained at once. They
