new MARMONS
ARE SHOW HIT
1928 Line Places Car
In New Position In
Manufacturing

Displaying its two entirely new
lines Of straight-eights, the New
harmon 6s in the low-price field and
the medium-priced New Marmon 78,
for the first time before the auto
motive world, the Marmon Motor Car
company provided one Of the sensa-
tional features Of the New York
Automobile Show and, at the same
time, announced the greatest pro-
gram in its history for 1928.
The marked public acceptance Of
the new Marmon straight-eights was
manifest shortly after the opening
of the national display, and the sue
cess Of the two lines became even
more pronounced as thoy were dis
played at subsequent automobile
shows in Milwaukee, Philadelphia,
Newark, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Louis
vile and several other cities. Stimuli
taneously with this wave of public
approval is word that the Marmon
factory is in full operation at 300
cars a day, and that shipments are
we'll under way to all Of the COM
pany's distributive points throughout
Che country.
Introduction Of the two new Mar
ION straight-eights bears two-fold
ikSa1O-,Sse it MARKS the en-
rance into volaN&Eoduetion Of one
of the oldest Manufacturers in the
the modern Nanaight-eiNt type Of
motor as a leading factor in both the
low and medium-priced fields. Both
new Marmon lines are Of the most
advanced type Of straight-eight de-
sign and are manufactured entirely
within Marmon factories.
The New Marmon 6S, which sells at
a base price Of Sl,395 at the factory,
IS powered with a 72-horsepower
straight-eight engine making pos
sible unusually smooth performance,
~flexibility and aeceleration at speeds
ranging to 65 to 10 miles an hour.
Built on a wheelbase Of ia inches,
the line is available in four body
styles, including a full f~ive-pas-
senger sedan, four-passenger Victoria
coupe and two-passenger roadster.
All of them were designed from the
standpoint of interior roominess and
comfort combined with low ana
sweeping outside lines that arc
adaptable to numerous combinations
Of Marmon Jewel colors.
Coming as an unexpected, yet
logical move. the Of
the New Marmon IS was regarded as
one Of the most forward steps in the
industry this year. In offering its
two complete lines, the Marmon COM
pary, through new and advanced
manufacturing facilities, has placed
in the hands of the automobile buyer
the straight-eight type of automobile
in the same price fields and on the
same basis as other types. Thus. the
new program makes a valuable
straight-eights, with their inherent
features of performance, TO all
classes Of motorists.

PREDICTS BIG
CITRUS FRUIT
DEVELOPMENT
H~orticulturist Saws
Lands In Northeast
ern Cameron Well
Adapted for Fruit

One Of the most extensive citrus
fruit developments in the world will
be located in northern and eastern
Cameron county in the area that will
eventually come under irrigation
through the project new planned to
carry Rio Grande waters BY gravity
flow to the coast, is the prediction
OF A. T.. Potts of Harlingen.
Mr.. Potts, who is nov engaged IN
the nursery business and is one OF
the most prominent horticulturists In
the South, recently made a survey OF
practically all the area lying south
OF the Arroyo Colorado and from the
Browne tract to the coast, which
could be watered by the Proposea
district.
Most of this acreage was very
uniform soil, well adapted to citrus
culture" Mr.. Potts said. There are
many natural drains, and provisions
Tor draHG>xs of the entire area could
probably be m e at ver0K
cost. With irrigation water avail
able, this section SHOULD become one
Of the most productive citrus areas
in the United States"
One Of the largest citrus develop
ments of the year, is located in the
coastal area on the Box ranch, where
over $4,000 trees have been set out
this season, and the entire tract of
170O acres is expected 70 be developed
as a citrus project. Water for this
tract is now being secured from the
Fresnos resaca.
With the exception Of the lands
Immediately adjacent to the coast,
which is largely Iona Alta clay,
there are four distinct soil types. The
Victoria clay loan and the Victoria
fine sandy loan, comprise the prin-
cipal acreage, these types being prac-
tically the same as the Wilson
Trsct-Santa Rosa sections. The La
redo silly clay loan and the Laredo
fine sandy loan, constitute the major
part of the resaca lands of which
there is a large acreage in the area
which would come under irrigation.
Highways traversing the area in
clude the Box ranch ranch road from
Highway No. 100 to the northern
part of the Paroles Line road, the
San Jose ranch road, and the Ana
quitas road from the mouth of the
Arroyo to the Rio Hondo road. Con-
tracts were awarded last week for
additional grading in the section, in

the Browne tract to Holly Beach.

Findings Of Fact

A concise digest of the salient facts
revealed at the recent Stock Taking
end Fact-Finding Conference on the
American Negro has been distributed.
II is brief and to the point. The
findings of the Conference were
based on careful research by experts
in various lines of work. The facts
gathered, therefore, have greater
weight than mere opinions. The sur
vey covered the following subjects:
politics, education, work and wages,
business and industry, crime and So
cial uplift, religion, Negro youth. We
quote from 1t profusely.
About one.fourth of Americans of
voting age votes. The worst situation
Is in the South. For every Negro
legally disfranchised, at least one
white person in the South disffan-
ehises himself. They are facts worth
thinking about.
1.-THE education of the Negro is
still without definite guiding pol
icy." A fact which Negro educators
must tackle.
I'm general Negro workers are
poorly paid, especially on farms.
They are Disseminated against in in
dustry, both in the kinds of work
they are permitted to do; in the
wages they receive; and in their
chance of promotion" The forego-
ing facts REQUIRE the immediate at
tention of the best brain of both
races, A pauper group affects our
entire civilization.
Negro business is reaching crit
zeal stage. Negro business finds diff
ficulty in raising sufficient capital
from poor people; in safely investing !
the funds of banks and insurance
companies; in protecting itself
against the indifference and enmity |
of white competitors and in guarding
against incompetency, greed and dis
honesty in its own ranks" With
out business the Negroes can not |
keep pace with modern civilization.

of the capital which carries on this
kind of work. Helping the less for.
tunates and underprivileged classes is
the duty of the more fortunate.
Wealthy Negroes must contribute
more to welfare organizations.
Negroes are organized into A.
Bio church groups, holding property
valued at $98,075,7S0 with annual
budgets aggregGting more than ten
millions of dollars" The weakness
of the Negro church lies in its Sec
tartan theology; the large proportion
OF ignorant and poorly paid minis
tiers; its emphasis on emotion and its
neglect of intelligent developing
youth" II is interesting to note that
the Negro church property exceeds
by far the value of Negro banks.
Negro youth is affected by its
modern environment" Especially
does Negro youth call today for SYM
pathy, understanding and patience;
and its contact with the white world.
the strain of discrimination and con-
tempt--makes the lot of the young
American Negro extraordinarily diff
ficult. Young Negroes are not called
into conference with their elders up
on matters of moment. They are not
listened to seriously These are
facts which can be easily changed.
Older Negroes should give young Ne
groes the opportunity to expand and
grow.
Now that the foregoing facts have
been found the question comes, what
are we going to do with them. Some
of the findings were exactly what
most of us have been thinking for
sometime. But now that they come
as the result of much study and ef-
fort they can be accepted as essen
TALLY true. In any successful attack
the facts must be ascertained. Since
we have the facts let us face the is
sues squarely and develop the neces-
sary methods for the proper adjust
nent of an admittedly bad situation.

Need More Business

To the Editor:
Whining over the many hardships
that meet us each day will never
bring to those who must follow Us
the things we must now battle within
ourselves to conquer. The one great
thing that has more to do with any
successful man or nation is the mean,
of self preservation. And, the col
ored race is no exception to the rule
/ We here on the coast can not loose
sight of the fact that jobs are not a,
easy to secure today as they were &c
years ago. Not only is this true oil
our race but it is true of the white
race as well.
To be more specific, every line of
industry today is finding ways to
reduce labor through labor-saving de.
vices. cutting overhead and dead ex.
penses. and hiring those who are able
to produce or add to the business.
Negro men and women will sooner OF
later be forced to stand alone il
they fail to measure up with others in
any given line of industry.
The colored business men must
find way to bring about concerted
efforts on the part of all of the COM
munlty towards the use of Negro
made goods, and then put those goods
on the market for everyone to buy.
Ihere is no sane reason why Seattle
and Tacoma should not be in a posi-
ton TO put some kind of manufac-
tured article on the market that
would meet every purchasers pocket
book. A shoe factory that could bring
out a shoe for every wear almost
without fault. A cloak and suit fac.
tory that could compete with the
best. An apron or one-piece dress
factory that could out sell any in the
section for the trade.
When We begin to formulate plans
and carry them out for our industrial
uplift, regardless what people saw or
call us. our bank accounts will grow
and like other races gradually orr
