DUTY 0f CITIZENS
 ID CAST BALLOTS
Everyone Should Vote, Former X. |. Leader Tdk KiVanilns

The man or woman who does not get out on election day and vote. re- gardless of his or her party affilia- tions is not playing the part of . good citizen, according to John F. Pickett. of Middletown. Mir. Pickett, who is d former state commander of the American Legion. spoke to the members of the kiwanis club today on What Makes a Good Citizen"
 He opened his address by reading a portion of the Declaration of In- dependence and the preamble from the constitution of the United States.
 He said these things constitute the consideration which is required in all contracts and are the considera- tions held out by the party of the first part. the United States. The party of the second part, which he characterized as Mir. Average Citi- zen. owes as his consideration cer- tain duties. including loyalty to his country.
 Mir. Pickett said that 10 years ago four million boys offered their lives as a supreme sacrifice while millions more offered their services behind the lines. Today when there is no war he said the test of good citi- zen is character.
 He said man does not need 8 good education to be a good citizen. although one of his duties is that of providing education for the youth. But the providing of educational fa- cilities and being good provider for his wife and family. he said. were not enough.
 He said the American Legion is pledged to a movement to encourage all citizens to exercise their right to vote. We have no candidate and we support no party" he said, but we do not feel that man or woman is playing the part of . good citizen unless he or she exercises the right Of the ballot"

 And how" he asked did you think l could help you?" Mabel explained. But you see I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. But she's perfectly miserable. She hasn't been able to eat a thing since We came aboard Do you suppose. Doctor. that she is going to have baby?"
 Thoughtfully the little physician gazed upon the ocean. Well, now. that's very diff cult thing to say - at this stage of the game. There are no hard and fast rules for the condition you contemplate. None at all In- fortunately.

 Would you be willing to drop in and see her, Doctor?"

 That night Sybil slept fitfully.
 Mabel never closed her eyes.
 The dreadful uncertainty of it. In four days they would be with Craig and the family. Mabel pounded her pillow fiercely and moaned in silent misery. "Of all the horrible complica- tions."
 The next morning Sybil went to breakfast in the salon. But 1t was the last time she essayed 1t. She had luncheon and dinner brought to her on deck. and an- bounced her intention that evening of having all her meals in her deck chair.

THIS HAS HAPPENED


 syNu Thorne, bride of two weeks. has deserted her husband in Ha- y1na. Richard Eustis, fascinating and immoral. swept her into an im- petuous marriage after five days courtship. They met on shipboard and were married in Havana har- bor. On their wedding night Richard became intoxicated, and despite con- stant promises, he continues to drink. Following a particularly sor- did scene. Sybil leaves him to spend the night in another hotel. In the morning, moved to forgive him again, she returns to their apart ment. Richard lies in a drunken stupor across the bed. On the floor there is an empty bottle and the card of one of Havana's notorious women.
 Completely disillusioned. Sybil seeks Mabel Blake, a Boston social worker, with whom she had made has become engaged to Jack Moore, an American salesman working in Havana. Sybil tells them of the final break with Richard. and begs Mabel to return to Boston with her. They sail that afternoon, leaving Eustis still asleep.
 On the way home Mabel surprises sybil by suggesting an immediate divorce and advancing the possi- bility of marriage with Craig New hall. Craig is a fine young man - the most eligible bachelor in Bos- ton-and very much in love with Sybil. She was in fact engaged to him at the time of her mad mar riage with Eustis.
 Sybil becomes i'll and Mabel. thoroughly alarmed. seeks the ad- vice of Dr. Henderson. a passenger on their boat.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY @ CHAPTER XXIV
 Mabel had never felt so uncom- fortable in her life. A brick red flush intensified her unbecoming sunburn. She felt that all the blood in her face had rushed to her bis tered nose. Even her eyes smarted with painful embarrassment.
 And I'm a social worker" she reminded herself sternly, ''and sup posed to be hard boiled."
 Dr. Henderson was regarding her curiously.
 If there is anything l can do-' he repeated, and smiled in an amiable. professional sort of way. t"lt isn't about myself I wanted to ask you" she stammered. "1ts a friend of mine. Oh. Doctor. won't you sit over there for a few minutes 90 that I can talk without anybody hearing us""
 They found deck chairs while poor Mabel murmured distractedly, "You're very good" And when they had seated themselves she began to talk rapidly.
 T don't know how to begin. Per- haps I'm foolish to bother you. but I'm 50 worried. You see-it's this way. Doctor" and she launched into the story of sybil's marriage.
 Now" she concluded hopelessly you see how it is. If the poor girls going to have a baby, it's perfectly awful. for she doesn't mean to tell anyone that she Las been married. She doesn't want to have anything to do with that wicked man. And besides-it would be terrible to bring child into the world with a heritage like that.
 Richard Eustis was drunk al- most every blessed minute. If she's

 Well, I'll have my little heaven. if I ever patch things up with Craig. If he cares enough, Nab. I could get divorce after a while" !"
 "Of course you could, dear. What did tell you?" Well, there wouldn't be any sense in it. if # wasn't going to do some good. Do you suppose Craig will want me, Nab when he knows?"
 "Oh. I'm sure he will, Sib. I think real love can forgive most anything"
 But couldn't forgive Rich.' "Of course you couldn't. That was different. He insulted you outraged you - oh, my dear, there isn't any comparison at all" Perhaps Craig will think I treated him as horribly as Rich treated me. In way there's a sort of parallel"
 "There isn't, Sib. Craig will un- derstand."
 Mabel tried to sound confident but her heart was full of misgiv- ings. Suppose Craig did love Sybil. just the same. Suppose he did want to marry her. But suppose Sybi was going to have a baby-Rich- ards baby. How would Craig feel about that? And how about Rich ard? It would be his baby. too. Mightn't he want it? That was new idea. Mabel pondered it silently. Perhaps Sybil would let him have it. If she didn't love Rich. perhaps she wouldn't love the baby-his baby. sybil interrupted her train of thought.
 Nab, I was talking with the captain yesterday" she demanded. He says that all life is accidental, and that everything is chance. He had the thing pretty well doped. I think rather agree with him. Take me for instance. I'm sure Mother was satisfied enough with Tad before l ever came along. All my life I've thought she half re- sented me-
 "Sybil!" Mabel's laughing protest was rather shocked.
 Well, I have" insisted Sybil. Might as we'll be frank about it. Now suppose you forget your out ragged sensibilities for a minute, Nab, and listen to me-"

Cotton Planting
Gets Under Way

Cotton planting is in full swing
in all parts of the Valley, according
TO reports of cotton men VINO have
made a survey of the section the
past week. The cotton acreage in
both the unirrigated and irrigated
sections will be considerably greater
than in 1926. which marked the peak
Of cotton production in the Valley.
The condition of the soil is excel
lent, was the unanimous verdict of
growers. In the unirrigated SEQ
tions the rainfall during the latter
part of January and the first of Feb
ruary ranged from 8 to 5 inches,
assuring sufficient moisture TO give
the cotton a good start. Heavy rains
in that section in March will practi-
cally assure a record crop, growers
state.
Willacy county will plant ap-
~proximately 100000 acres. and an
equal amount will be planted in the
unirrigated section of Hidalgo coun-
~. One of the largest acreages in
Cameron county is on the Hardin
ranch northeast Of Harlingen where
one field containing over $500 acres
IS being planted.

Rapid Progress

Many residents Of the Valley do
not realize the Importance of the
Military road, which traverses a sec
tion rapidly developing into one Of
the 0 productive areas in the
valley" H. H. Buck of LIS Indlos
says.
Mr. Buck was in Brownsville on
business matters, and expressed him.
SELF as greatly interested in the
status Of the highway program.
Landowners along the Rio Grande
have donated lands for flood control
ievees which will protect thousands
Of acres further back from the river.
Those levees cost hundreds of thou
sands of dollars 10 construct, ara
the breaking of a levee during major
flood period would mean immense
loss. Pavement Of the Military high
way would provide the means where
by men and equipment could be mo-
bflized in the minimum of time IN
the event the levees are endangered.
Thousands of acres will be brought
under cultivation alon- the Military
highway for the first time this year,
and if the highway Is naved PRACTICAL
ly the entire section will come I'M
der intensive development, the value
Dot the acreage will be double not
only for taxation but by reason OF
the fact access to markets VIE be
provided. There are large areas
along the river which are now VIZ

Every resident of the river section
from Brownsville to Santa Rosa Is
intensely interested in the county
road program, and we sincerely hope
all obstacles will soon be removed
and highway work again resumed.
