I went down to the House Office

was to be my first interview, so
you can imagine that I had a good
deal Of stage fright. Two women
were sitting in the room.
I believe anybody could sense
which one was Mrs. Mccormick.
She looked at ease, and confident.
She is thin, and quite tall and
straight. Her nose is Roman, and
she has a keen face.
Her features are sharp, her eyes
steely blue, and she has silver gray
hair. In fact, she is distinguished
and a~ristocratic looking = rather
handsome, though her features are
masculine.
She is not especially ~aristocratic
in her speech, however, for she has
a breezy style, and I heard her put
a good deal of slang in her con-
~versation.
Interview Begins, But
II would like to speak with Mrs.
Mccormick" I said.
II am Mrs. Mccormick" she re-
piled. Her tone was cold, and
practical.
She seemed very level headed,
and spoke in a confident, rather
hushed voice, with loud tones at
irregular intervals. I asked her
for an interview, and she told me
to wait.
AS I sat down I heard her laugh
ing with the other woman. I didn't
know what she was laughing about,
but I was afraid it was at me. She
seemed to take advantage Of me,
because I was small.
Then her secretary came in. q

Valley Citrus Acreage

Than 1000, 900 Trees

Valley knew that there we're a few
scattered citrus groves in this sec
ton few of them gave any thought
to the potential value of the fruit
produced. In fact, as late as 1916,
a 11-acre orchard on the outskirts
Of McAllen, planted by the Griffing
Nursery Co., was loaded with fruit
and no market for it. Finally a To-
cal grocer made a ridiculously low
offer to the owners for the fruit
and cleaned up a profit of $4,000
on 1t when he shipped it to upstate
points. 1t was the town talk foI
weeks afterwards.
