That Buy Home Products" campaign started by
Nick H. McCarty. Valley Jitney Jnlgles store mana
ger. can be made Of great value to Valley growers II
properly carried out. Operators Of other grocery
store systems might investigate the campaign and
join in to the benefit Of all concerned.
II a larger percentage Of Valley products are con-
sumed at home there will be a smaller amount to be
shipped out. There will also be a smaller quantity
Of products shipped in from other sections.
This will mean prosperity for the Valley grower,
as he will receive a larger profit from the products he
sells at home than from those he ships to distant
markets. Prosperity for the grower means prosperity
for the merchant. the professional man, the laborer
and al other citizens.
In this connection. Valley hotels and Valley res
taurants should be encouraged to use Valley prod
ucts. Because they are easier to prepare. some hotels
and restaurants have been guilty Of serving canned
goods when the same vegetable is available on the
market.
This is a bad practice FOR two reasons. One is that
tourists visiting in the Valley hear about Valley veg
etables and fruit and how good they are. Becoming
hungry, they order a vegetable dinner-and get
canned goods. Then there is a disappointed visitor.
The other reason why Valley hotels and restau-
rants should serve Valley products is obvious. 1t
would increase home consumption and thereby add to
the general prosperity Of the section.
The potato campaign inaugurated about a year ago
by The Herald demonstrated what could be done by
Valley citizens when they are aroused. More than 100
carloads Of Valley potatoes were in storage and there
was no market for them. although potatoes were be-
ing shipped in from other sections. When informed
of this fact Valley people began eating Valley pota-
toes and demanding Valley potatoes from the stores.
The surplus supply was cleaned up in a few weeks.
Eat Valley fruit and vegetables when they can be
obtained. Buy Valley canned goods when it is avail
able. This is one sure way to bring prosperity to VAL
ley growers.

slant Chatty was back in the little
white inn with lave Jordan, and
he was holding her hands in his
across a small. white covered table,
and telling he rhow much he loved
her. For an instant the heartache

AS she dashed into the front Of

suddenly, too.
Chatty gasped. The kitchen door
was still half open, and against the
darkness of the back porch stood

Even before she saw him, Chatty
knew it would be Pud.
He grinned when he saw her. His
wide, boyish grin, that did its best
to call her attention from the
startled, guilty look in his eyes.
Yeah. it's me-" he said, and
came into the kitchen.
He was carrying a large, square
parcel covered with heavy, brown
paper in his arms, and he laid II
down upon the sink.

thin, freckled face, and a too-old
look coming into 1t. You preach

ged his finger at her accusingly.

him, lifting her chin and looking
him squarely in the eyes. YOU

There was a big pail Of orange

dozens of glasses-tall, high-oall

CHAPTER xxx

Chatty had never been on what
is known Is 4 wild party" before.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-08-20

Did you read about the generous
gifts made several weeks ago by
both Senator Couzens Of Michigan
and by Mr.. August Heckscher? Both
these philanthropists are impressed
with the idea that child life must be
protected. They have backed their
convictions by gifts aggregating four
, teen millions Of dollars.
I have known both these men for
many years. I am proud Of what
they have done for humanity.
In announcing his gift, Mr.. Heck
scher recited what he regards as
the crying need Of the great cities.
Let me tell you what Mr.. Hecksher
said about these needs, using his
own language:
"As ! see them. they are these.
and probably in the order named:
Day nurseries. to enable a moth
er to 20 to work freed from the OBJ
ression that her child may be
harmed.
Dental clinics: for the parent
cannot always afford the cost OF the
work. and the child breads the pain
Of adequate dental surgery, which
s thus neglected.
Fairgrounds, be they Eve so
modest - but locally available for
the smaller children.
Summer camps. to afford both
mothers and children an outing
when the heat OF the city becomes
intolerable."
I have no doubt that these con-
illusions are logical. I am sure that
that he says about enabling a
rNother to work without the fear her
child may suffer sudden sickness Is
well founded.
/ wish I had 1t in my power TO
impress upon the mothers Of young
I children how necessary 1t is to have
exact information. 1t Is unw1se TO
trust chance. Many a baby suffers
from under nourishment and MANY
a child OF pre-school age Is weak
and punv because something Is
wrong with its care. The feeding. or
some matter relating TO its hygiene
is not as II should be. The better
informed n mother Is the more like
ly IL * the child will reach maturity
in full vigor and physical perfec-
ton.
