A National Fruit Organization

: A national organization for the purpose Of assur-
Rng orderly marketing Of citrus fruit is the vision OF
p F. Yoakun, pioneer railroad builder. who has been
a daily conference with members Of the senate agrl-
cultural committee. The details Of the plan have not
been. made pUNlic. nor has there been an announce
|nent relative to its inclusion in the farm relief meas
IRE to come before the snecial session. but if a def
Eaite plan can be formulated, which win eliminate
competitive practices in marketing fruit, it viii prove
Pf incalculable value to all interests dependent upon
he industry.
According to conservative estimates the Lower Rio
5rande Valley will produce 5000 cars Of citrus fruit
aext year as compared with approximately 1900 cars
|he past season. The biz "bulqe" in Valley produc-
ion viii come IN the 1930-31 season when, under
hormal conditions. shipments will increase to 5000
br 10000 cars. If this huge volume Of fruit Is unreg-
plated and no system adopted for its marketing the
growers cannot exnect to receive maximum profits.
Though the higher quality Of VALLEY grapefruit
win prove an important factor in develoDng new
markets in competition with Florida. Valley growers
eannot afford to depend uDon this alone. T they are
thoroughly organized by the time the Valley groves
BONES into heavy production they doubtless viii ha in
position to formulate q working agreement with
Florida which would prove Of great advantage to
both sections and which would to q great extent elm
mate the connective practices which viii reduce
profits for growers without increasing fruit consump-
bon.
Production Of citrus fruit Is confined to a few
small sections Of the United States. The growers are
producing a commodity for which q demand must be
created, and this cannot be accomplished by the in
Fividual grower Or q small group. # the industry
were organized upon a national basis it would be III
position to create markets which would consume the
entire production at a profit to every grower.
The problem Of organizing the citrus industry
ehould not be difficult as compared with organizing

If Mr.. Y0akum, former Secretary Of Agricul-
VIM. Jardine or any other leader Of national
prominence viii evolve a definite plan it should not
be difficult to secure national organization which
would control the distribution Of practically the en-
production.

Tourist Traffic

Tourist traffic to the Lower Rio Grande Valley
|the past winter has been the heaviest on record, but
has fallen far short Of the volume that should have
been diverted to this section,
Tourists have Wazed enthusiastic over the ideal
winter climate, the natural beauties, the system Of
paved roads, and the many attractions this section
offers.
However, there has been che criticism which is
Eundamental-the lack Of highways connecting the
VALLEY with the big tourist and commercial cen5ers Of
Central Texas. Thousands of tourists have expressed
themselves as amazed that a section Of such unsur-
passed fertility and beauty should have only one
paved highway connecting with the outer world.
The fact is OBVIOUS that before a volume Of tourist
Eraffic such as the attractions Of this section justify
can be diverted to the Valley. at least one more paved
connection must be provided. Regardless Of the at
the Valley may offer. tourists will not make
IA 125-mile trip over q highway knowing they Will be
compelled to return by the same road. The expe-
rience Of California and Florida prove beyond ques-
ton that loop highways are the major factors in at
tracing tourists and that no section without such
loops can expect to attract any great volume Of
traffic.
The theory that two highways viii split the traffic
has. proved a faTacy. Tn all tourist section it has
been proved that loops increase the traffic. III fact,
many Of the most extensively patronized tourist re-
sorts Of both the west and east coasts did not develop
until a number Of highway had been developed.
Hundreds of thousands. probably millions, NJ dol
lars have been BROUGHT irt0 the Valley this season BY
tourists. Tho tourist "cro1" has proved very profit
able for the Valley rs a whole. but the profits that
have accrued are s-7on in comra-ison with those the
Valley viii derive when two OF more highways are

There may be no more trains to

Rupert, as they walked away, but
there's a motor car"

OF course, we're coming on with

YOU have. I simply couldn't sleep

II wonder where our lady hid her

That's where I first spotted her
just by that automatic machine

Il see. There's quite a useful
little angle by the wall-she could
slip into that, couldn't sheer pre-
tend, with her back turned, that she
was spending pennies on sweets"
Instinctively they veered toward
the spot. The automatic machine
was conspicuous, but the angle was
in deep shadow. Yes, it would form
quite a good sanctuary in a sudden
emergency.
Their eyes all spotted it at once
as it lay on the ground, family

But it was Brown who datred for

The Once Over
WHY THE MARKET WAS SMASHED
BY Fl. I. PHILLIPS

Dear Editor: I have inquired everywhere to find
why it is deemed so necessary to break the bull mar
ket and curb speculation, but nobody gives me an
explanation I can understand. Won't you please
help me? CONSTANT READER.
Dear Constant: You should be ashamed Of your
self for not knowing why it has become a paramount
necessity to smash the stock market. There are any
number Of reasons. the best ten Of which follow:
Too many amateurs have been making money
in violation of precedent. Only those who profess
sional standing are supposed to do it, and the daily
spectacle Of a lot Of motor-men, porters, stevedores,
house detectives, office clerks, pie bakers, etc. making
easy money was very annoying. Tt was against ira
dition and had to be stopped.
2-The time had come for a showdown to deter
mine which market advice was the better. that given
by the experts or that given by the master BARRIERS.
For the past two years the Wall street experts have
been telling the public that stocks were too high. The
BARRIERS Of America. on the other hand, have been
proclaiming+ that 100 points could be made in most
any old stock. 1t SO happened that the BARRIERS were
right. A situation like that just had to be corrected,
if it took 40 per cent money.
s-The stock market craze had reached a stage
where it was raising hob with the American home.
Wives who should have been doing the housework
were leaning over the back fence discussing possibls
~snlit-ups in Union Carbide. Mothers who should
have been looking after the baby were letting Junior
play on the trolley tracks while they chung to the
TELEPHONE to get fresh dope from their broker.
At had become impossible to get efficiency IN
shons and offices. In factories the workers spent
half the time comparing notes on market plunges.
IN business offices It had become impossible to get
the office bow to drop the Wall Street Journal and
90 fill the glue pot: the stenographers were all too
busy playing the curb to take dictation. and the office
manager was down in the cellar totaling up his paper
profits on the side wall.
5-The stock craze had caused much unnecessary
~srffering. A dentist would get a patients tooth half
out. and would then suddenly excuse himself for a
few hours while he ran over to the brokerage house
and watched the board. Doctors could not be reached
because thew were busy on the phone discussing
r0~+c0nerv-Ward
6-The public safety was being fnenaced. 1t had
become futile to call a policeman unless you wanted
to give him a tio, and few fireren were willing to
80 to fires between ID q. m. and 8 p. m, exceot where
the fire was convenient to a ticker.
Z } The

There, Constant Reader. you have it all, and
should stop asking questions.

One Of the m pieces of
advice I give you is this: Get
plenty Of rest, sleep, good food,
fresh air, sunlight and exercise.
You can e the reason for each
Of these facors Of good health.
But let me ask you a question:
Why should you exercise?
That may seem like a senseless
question, but is 1t? Really, why
should a person. who desires to be
strong and healthy, take systematic
physical exercise?
The other day I heard a mas
seuse say to her patient, your
arms are soft and flabby. You
should take exercise to develop
them"
To n who has no work to do
with the arms, no lifting, no boxing
to do. to have flabby arm muscles
is Of small consequence. If all the
other muscles are hard and strong,
the state Of the arm muscles would
make little difference.
But here Is the trouble: Unless
you exercise every day, keeping the
blood in circulation, keeping the
figure upright and trim, there will
be trouble after a while. 1t won't
be long before the abdominal walls
relax, permitting the internal or
gans to sag from their proper
places.
Nature intended ma to have his
body muscles tight and firm, so to
keep the abdominal organs in place.
1t was intended to have the back
muscles in prime condition, in
order that the backbone would be
held In the upright position.
It was planned to have the head
held In such position as to take
pressure off the big blood vessels
and nerves Of the neck. If you
permit your figure to SLOUGH, the
chin falls on the chest and there
is sure to be interference with the
important "triangles" Of the neck.
The abdominal wall is thin in
spots. Unless the muscles everything
these places are firm and strong,
there may be a break. Weakness
Of the muscles, or undue use OF
the muscles here, may cause a
break which results in what we
call hernia" or In the common
speech, rupture"
Unless there is regular exercise,
the muscles Of the diaphragm,
which has an important part in
breathing, may grow weak. Then
there may be shallow breathing
and Ill health in consequence.
These abdominal muscles and
the power diaphragm have an i'm
portant part in helping to circu-
late the blood and fluids Of the
body. They help the intestines to
perform their function.
Unless there is such general ex-
ercise as TO keep all the muscles in
first-class condition, those that
supply the walls Of the intestines
themselves won't be able to do
their work. You can see how
necessary this action Is.
The bones Of the pelvis are held
in place. as indeed are all the
joints, by certain ligaments. IN
less the muscles are strong, the
ligaments are not helped to do their
work. IN the case Of the pelvis
this condition may result in GER
tain neuralgia paints.
IN the big blood vessels, espe-
cially in the veins, are muscles
which must be in normal state. If
they are to help the circulation.

her intelligence tells her that when

she only needed the merest hint to

would like to know how she came
to be carrying drugged cigarettes on

Why, that was to catch her

Yes. And she kept pretty we'll

Texas AS q Manufacturing State

Texas AS a Manufacturing State
Figures never lie. Texas is forging to the front
as a manufacturing state. A bulletin issued oy the
census bureau Of the department Of commerce tells
the story. Texas in 1927 maintained the lead in the
manufacturing states Of the South, with manufac-
lures totaling nearly one and a quarter billions Of
dollars.
This bulletin shows the specific value Of all prod
|ucts manufactured In Texas during 1927 was S1.206,-
I5799s2. nearly s100OO0OO0 more than the value Of
the products manufactured in North Carolina, its
nearest competitor of the South. Number Of manu-
featuring plants in Texas jumped from 3,603 in 1928
to 4O65 in 1927 With a corresponding increase Of the
number. of. wage earners from 106772 to 116.763,
WAGES paid these workers increased from Sl16353,580
in 1925 to s13o. 4OS.661 in 1927.
Thus it will be seen that Texas leads all the
american states with the exception Of New York in
exports and heads the list Of southern states in value

way to the head Of the procession.

formal passing Of what rightly might be called IN
this country the sport Of presidents.
For most Of the past presidents have oeen fond Of

welt, the white house stables have declined il pop-
ularity. However, it was not so long ago when the
ride on horseback or the carriage spin was Il definite
part Of every presidents daily program.
washington was the greatest horseman OF them
al. His dark grey mount "Blueskin" was his favorite.
and the first president never passed up an OBJ
p~crtunity to indulge in his love Of horses. John
Adams was not particularly enamored Of horses, but
Thomas Jefferson had fine ones. He rode his
favorite wild Air" to Washington for his inaug-
Uration, and the hours from | to o'clock every dav
