A Political Year

Every CITIZEN of voting age in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley should secure a poll tax receipt this
year. While there is nothing on the political horizon
which looms as portending political disaster to the ma
ton or state, events in & presidential year often come
thick and fast, and it behooves the voters to be pre-
pared TO meet any emergency which may arise.
That the issues will be sharply drawn in the
presidential race is becoming daily more apparent. In
state primaries there will be senatorial and congress
sional candidates to name, as well as a complete state
licked, and contests promise to be interesting in the
Valley counties.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley has many and varied
interests to protect, and experience has proved that
these can best be protected by a formidable showing at
the polls. Political leaders will not be greatly i'm
pressed by any demands the Valley may make unless
the poll lists prove conclusively there is a large vote
of those demands. The next legislature will be called
upon to consider a number Of measures in which the
Valley is vitality interested, and the Valley will also
have several propositions before congress. The Val
ley's position will be materially strengthened if those
working in the Valleys interest can show that they
are representing a large number Of voters.
Bond issues will also be submitted to practically
all Valley voters during the year, and there will be
numerous county, district and community problems to
be decided by the voters. It is the duty Of every citi-
zen TO participate in the various elections, and it
should be their ambition to exercise every privilege of
n citizen.
In less than three weeks the privilege Of securing
y poll tax for 1925 will no longer exist, and the county
officials will be engaged in making up the lists of bot
ers. Every Valley citizen owes it to himself and the
Valley to have his nam included in those lists. They
have until January 81 to secure the poll tax, and when
the receipt books are closed at midnight on that date
they should carry the name of every resident of the
Valley eligible to participate in an election.

See Prosperous Year

The buying power Of the American farmer will
Increase in 1928 and wages in the basic industries will
be maintained ut their present levels, is the forecast
Of 100 editors Of financial and business publications
who have made an exhaustive survey of industrial,
agricultural and business conditions throughout the
United States.
Business at the close of 1927 was found to be in
q more stable condition than for several years. large
ly due to the fact that the "boom" elements had been
eliminated. Consolidation of capital, greater efficien-
ey. and expansion Of both domestic and foreign mar
kets, accomplished in 1927, have laid the foundation
for prosperous conditions in 1928. The production
and demand for agricultural products has also showed
. general upward trend, and the prediction is made
that agriculture is entering the period of gretest pros
perity since the World war.
In reviewing 1927 activities the editors find that
while the volume of railroad freight declined, motor
and water-borne freight showed a decided increase.
General construction showed some decline, due to the
abnormal volume in 1926, but the editors point out
that construction must be figured over q period Of
years in order to provide an index to national growth.
The automotive industry, which has attained a position
Of paramount Importance, is opening the year with
every indication that volume and sales, both domestic
and foreign, will break all previous records. In the
textile field q new optimistic note is sounded. The
gradual movement Of textile industries from New
England to the South has had a serious eject on bust
ness in some parts Of the East, but this has been off
set by sterilization of the industry and the fact that
proximity o the source OF supply IS enaolng mill
owners to better meet competition in foreign fields.
One Of the most suspicious indications Of the
times Is the gradual extension of the cooperative move
nent throughout the agricultural areas, the editors
state. The spread" between the farmers and con-
Iumers is being materially reduced, with the result
III farmers are receiving more for their products for
which the consumers are paying a lower price. The
affects of the cooperative movement are becoming
plainly apparent in lower living costs in the cities
and increased prosperity on the farms. The failure Of
farm relief legislation at the last session of congress
has virtually forced many farmers to join the coopera-
tive movement. Business surveys indicate that this
has proved highly beneficial to both the farmer and
consumer and has erected the foundation upon which
cooperation will build and expand during the year.

to keep thin when they were never built for thinness.
I believe that a Newfoundland dog Is the most intel

that Charles Lindbergh could do much good by visiting

Blue Jays love better than anything

LONE NICARAGUAN INSURRECTO
NOT SO DEAD AS WAS
RELIEVED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--After ex-
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson,
now governor-general of the Philip
pines, had finished pacifying Mica
rsgua a few months ago, he reported
10 Washington that the only fly left
IN the ointment was a gang Of about
$50 bandits, under a die-hard called
Gen. SANDING, who might continue
rather annoying for awhile.
Henry spoke conservatively-both
as 70 numbers and as to annoyance
he was afraid they'd be.
Out Of those $50 bandits, $40 had
been killed, according to the Off
cial figures, up until the United
States marines latest fight with
them, and SANDING and the rest of
the survivors, miraculously stronger
than they were in the first place, are
simply raising perfect heck, a darn
sight worse than ever; so much so
that another 1000 devil-dogs-
bringing their total force in the
country up to nearly 2,50O-have
had to be sent, to see If they can't
put a stop to it.
Those old Scandiloovian gods,
who strapped all day, till they were
chopped TO mincemeat, and then
grew together again and went on
scrapping next morning. and so on
forever. hadn't anything on this
SANDING crowd, if Col. Stimson's ar
ithmetic's good for anything"
growled an officer at marine head
quarters, in the Navy building, as
orders went out to rush reinforce
menIs to Nicaragua.
"In fact" he added, Il guess the
Spiggoties can 90 the Norsky crowd
one better. The Svensks didn't null
tiply. anyway. There seem to be
more of these Nicaraguans, the more
we kill Of EN-"
It's noteworthy, however, that the
marines don't refer to Gen. SANDING
as a reptile" as has been done in
the press here. Their philosophy is
that the little Central American gen.
eral who can give the marine corps
such q rassle is entitled to respect
full consideration.
Official references to SANDING as
a bandit" don't find an echo in

the sharp, metallic cries that Peter
had learned to know meant trouble
for someone. Turning quickly Peter
saw a strange sight.
Way up in the sky, high above
his head, uttering sharp calls, sailed
and circled the Blue Jays. They
seemed to be trying to attack a sin
gle bird much smaller than them
selves, but as far as he could de-
termine they were not having much
success. The clever little flyer
eluded his pursuers and kept we'll
above them, try as they would to
force him down.
And every so often the little bird
would swoop down and attack one
Of the Blue Jays. Then Peter would
hear q shrill cry Of fear and fury.
Again up into the bright blue
would dart the sparrow hawk, the
Blue Jays after him-and down to
the earth would float the feathers
that the small tormentor had torn
from the crest Of one OF his less
agile enemies. The boy admired the
small birds speed and pluck, and
couldn't resist saying so to the old
est son.
