Of the millions Of pictures which
have been conceived by the writers
Of fiction and prepared for the
screen. there is not a single one that
a compare the true epic and dra-
matte spectacle which patterns out
the political life Of the president
who went from the conquests of the
postwar days to death.
There is not a single foot of fic-
tion throughout the entire six reels
Of film. The production is a eompila-
ton Of the news reels views Of Mr..
Wilson, beginning at the time he was
notified of his presidential nomi-
nation, through wars and world
changing events Immediately follow
ing. until almost the day Of his death.
He is shown at Paris. working for
peace while the country at home was
being rocked by attacks from his po-
litical enemies. He is shown being

II Big YEAR

Notable Gains Made I'm
All Departments of
Civic Activity
Especial to The Hrald)

McALLEN, Jan. 1.-THE yea Of
w showed a marked gain for the
city Of McAllen over all previous
years in practically every branch of
city development. With an increase
In population from $500 people in
tne city showed a corresponding in
crease IN size and building per-
mits.
The building development was
quite noticeable during the past year
and included in addition to numer-
Gus residences, a large number OF
business houses and office buildings.
On Dec. 81. 1926, the building per-
mts Of McAllen totaled Sl.4O6.09O,
while on the same date or 1927 they
amounted to ~s2,349,075.
Assessed valuations of the city
OF McAllen increased from S3,T0S,6I5
III 1926 to IS, s,215 in 1927. These
figures do not include however, APP
pI~oxinaately $4,000, 900 in taxable
values lying in the suburbs n ad-
ditions which have recently been in
eorporated into the city of McAllen.
School enrolment has increased
from 1872 in the yea of 1926 to
1858 in the past year. During this
time there has been constructed a
fine high school buildign. In addi-
ton to the high school there has
been an improvement noted in the
grade schools of the city.
With a taxable value of approx
mately $4,000, 900 the bonded indebt-
edness Of the city Of McAllen is
only $977,200 or about eleven per
cent. This ratio is expected to be
materially reduced during the cur
mi year by payments On bonds.
Sinking fund accounts show that the
city has maintained the requisite
sinking fund on all of its issues and
has promptly paid all interest due
On bond issues.
Postal receipts have increased
during the years time from $24.307.-
SO to s3O,339.9s. The increased bus
mess of the pcstoffice has necessi-
tated new quarters and these will
be provided il is believed, in the re
ent measure passed through the
House of Congress providing for a
new postoffice for the city Of Nc
Allen.
Business men and residents Of Nc
Allen point with pride to the in
crease in bank deposits from sl.651,-
s70.21 in 1926 to S1.9s6.34l.06 in
1927. These figures will be mate
rally augmented during 1928 ii is

SUMMARY

The barometric pressure continued
moderately high over the United
States since last report but had fall
en- somewhat over the Plains states
and Texas. As a result weather on
ditions have changed very little
throughout the country, except for
a moderate rise in temperature prac-
tically throughout the eastern half
of the United States. In most Sec
tons Of the country temperatures
were above thes seasonal average this
morning-ccnsiderably so in the far
Northwest. Apparently the only pre-
cipitaticn within the country during
the last "a hours occurred at Seattle,
Washington.

It's a sign of those digestive disorders
which lead to so many kinds of serious

troubles-who had tried everything"
in vain and about given up hope.

1906 Ellis Ave, Fort Worth. Tex,
says: IL was flat on my back, suf-
fering from indigestion. But after
5 bottles of Tanlac / returned to
work. didn't suffer any more from
indigestion and gained Is lbs"
That coated tongue tells you why
the least exertion tires you out; why
you have pains in the bowels, gas, SOU
stomach, dizzy spells. See how the
first bottle of Tanlac helps you.

large delegations to the Septem-
Der 9th convention. All miners
who were driven and forced back
to work by the Lewis treachery,
throw yourselves into the fight
against Lewis and for the build
ing of a new fighting union of
the miners.
The only way out of the pres
ent deplorable Conditions con-
fronting the miners is to build
new powerful miners union, that
will be able to fight the wage
cuts, reestablish union conditions,
and defend the miners. To build
this union, the Lewis regime
must be annihilated and relegated
to the scrap-heap.
The unorganized fields must be
organized
The miners must be welded into
a national union under militant
class conscious leadership!

John L. Lewis, however, be-
trayed the miners and led them
to defeat. He is a republican.
He is member of the party of
Andrew Mellon, the most vicious
opponent of the miners in the
present strike. In spite of this
fact, Lewis still urges the min
ers to support Mellon and the
capitalist forces he represents,
the same forces which have used
the government to crush the min
ers.

happen to be on strike. He has
fastened the reign of the reac-
tionary officials upon the union
by decreeing that only Ameri-
can citizens can hold office, thus
DISTINGUISHING the large bulk Of
foreign-borns miners who are not
citizens, but who are militant and
class-conscious. He has limited
the present strike of the bitumin-
Gus miners to only a few fields.
He opposed mass picketing. He
refused to take up a fight against
the injunction.
Lewis squandered hundreds of
thousands of dollars in paying big
salaries, and did not pay strike
relief or provide for relief. Only
during the last stages of the
strike did he provide relief and
then only after the miners them
selves had organized the Ma
tional Miners Relief Committee.
He gave relief, when he did, only
in isolated cases to those who sup
ported the administration.
He made separate agreements
in Illinois and Indiana, thus tax
ing the heart out of the strike
and making certain it's defeat.
Only a general strike tieing up
the entire industry could have de-
feated the coal operators. Lewis
and the reactionary district Off
Gals fought and resisted this de-
mand of the left wing. The dis
trict officials bear the response
