Charges that Sid Hardin of Mis-

Mr.. Hardin requested The Herald
to publish the following statement:

elaborate headquarters in Mission,
occupying a suite Of offices equip
ped with mahogany furniture and
that I maintain a corps Of stenogrs-
piers and clerks representing q
large outlay of money.
II believe that you are fair mind
ed and are willing to be fair with
me in this campaign. would like
to have You appoint q committee,
preferably supporters OF Mr.. Car

my headquarters and make a report
for publication in your paper.
Every interested party is invited
TO visit my headquarters and ex-
anime the small office that ] an
using and for which I pay 500 per
month, look at the furniture that I
have, part Of which is second hand
and part second class new equip
ment, and meet the only employe
that / have-a young lady clerk who
draws $40 per week. Ny subscrip-
ton list is open for inspection and
the notes that ! have signed at both
banks in Mission for campaign funds
may be examined by all interested
parties.
These unfounded charges have
been made to divert the minds Of
the people from the tariff issue. I
hope that the spirit Of fairness that
characterizes the newspaper Crater
nifty will prompt you to investigate"

TOMATOCHIEF.
finds VALLEY
DISEASE FREE
Or: Ramsay Surveying
10 Determine Con-
dition Best Suited to
Shipping

~ 4uG AeEAlU
SAN BENITO, Nav 23.-The tomato
crop. In the Lower Rio Grande VA
icy Is unusually free from diseases
81 n kind, and appears to be entire
y Tree OF some Of the diseases which
crop.
This opinion was expressed here
Auesoay by DIR. G.. b. Ramsay, path
oioslst Of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, in charge Of the
experimental station at Chicago.
DIT. Ramsay is to conduct a series
Fef experimental shipments of Valley
tomatoes, in order to check the de
terioration of the tomatoes in tran
slt' where some diseases are noticed.
Inc results of the experiments, which
are similar TO others conducted by
Dr. Ramsay in other parts of the
country, will be Of value in determin-
ing the condition in which tomatoes
should be shipped.
Dr.. Ramsay arrived in the Valley
monday, and spent the day in
brownsville, comforting with W. u.
Iooge, market news bureau head at
brownsville. He will remain in the
valley for a week, and spent a large
part OF Tuesday doing field work IN
company with Henry Alsmeyer, coun-
" agricultural agent Of Cameron
county.
I'm the fields that / have looked
over / found no trace Of the nail head
spot, one Of the diseases which
causes most damage in the Florida
crop" DR.. Ramsay said. This disease
does not affect the tomato 50 much
as to content, but lessons its market
value on account of the appearance.
In making test shipments OF these to-
matoes, We measure the spot at the
time of shipment, and measure II
again at the time Of arrival, thus
noting the change that might be ex-
pected in transit"
The pa%thologist said that the only
diseases he had noticed in the tomato
crop Of the Valley so far are the
Buckeye rot, and the earth rot, both
caused by heavy rainfall. These are
fungus diseases, which are prevalent
usually only after heavy rains. Then
II Is dangerous TO ship the tomatoes
which lie close to the ground, as u
tomato may have the disease, and
may spread il in transit, damaging
the sales value of the entire ship
ment.
He said that from his preliminary
observation the tomato crop IN the
Valley did not appear to be exten-
sively damaged from the heavy rain
fall recently.
DR.. Ramsay is TO make several ex-
rerimental shipments. sending the
tomatoes direct to the laboratory at
Chicago. where his assistant looks
them over upon their arrival, and
checks the deterioration IN transit.
When asked about the genera!
growing conditions and care Of VAL
ley tomatoes as against those N
- oriea, DR.. Ramsay said that the
here appear 10 be fairly
we'll taken care of. Stalking OF prun-
ing tomato vines is more a matter
Of soil condition, and climatic con-
dion. he said. "0n the West Coast
Of Florida practically all tomatoes
are staked; while on the East Coast
practically none of them are staked.'
The pathologist has been conduct
Ing experiments Of this kind for a
number Of seasons, and has field sta
lions established in California and

HOLLYWOOD, CAL, Dec. 4.-If
H you were young girl who had
been in pictures only a few months
and suddenly were picked for Ra-
mon Novarro's leading lady in a
picture which called for a location
trip to Honolulu and Tahiti.
wouldn't you consider yourself
lucky?
That is what happened to little
Dorothy Janis, perhaps the smallest
leading lady in FINLAND, being less
than five feet tall and weighing
only ninety-four pounds.
Dorothy has been cast in the role
of native girl in a South Sea pic
ture, as yet untitled, which Novarro
is making.
The 19-year-old actress should be
very good in her native role, being
of Cherokee Indian descent. A little
makeup added to her olive COM
plexion, black hair and dark brown
eyes should make her resemble a
true South Seas maiden.
In fact, she seems destined to play
native girl roles, this being her third
in the only three films she has
made.

West, Former insult Man to
Sit in On Cumberland
Falls Hearing.
Bn Times Special

RH Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Secre-
tary of the Interior West intends to
sit as member of the federal power
commission during consideration of
the Cumberland Falls dam site
despite protests from Ohio and 9TH
er states, it was reliably learned to-
day.
West has been out of the city, but
interior department employees say
that he will not withdraw from
Wednesdays hearings because of his
former connection with insult in
terestS, which seek to lease the falls.
The fight over Cumberland Falls
has been going on since 1924, when
temporary permit for development
was granted to the Cumberland
Hydro Electric Co.
The company is now asking for
a lease which will give it control of
the site for fifty years. Protests are
being made by the National Park
service, The National Parks AsSocia-
ton, the Ohio Audubon Society, and
other organizations and individuals.
The state of Kentucky, in which
the site is located, has approved the
project in event the federal license
can be obtained.
The park advocates want Cumber-
land Falls retained for park pur-
poses and do not want hydroelectric
development th-re.
