COTTON
Line PLANNED
Special Trains to Handle
Valley Crop Started By
Missouri Pacific

Special trains originating at
Brownsville and Mission each night
az 7 p. m. will give the Valley the
fastest service it has ever known,
on cotton destined for Corpus
Christi, Houston, and Galveston,
- was announced Tuesday by w. C.
Cilaate. general manager of Mis-
sourl Pacific properties in Texas.
All cotton, both fiat and pressed,
loaded during the day vii be gath
cred and moved on these trains
through Harlingen and Raymond
vile and set for delivery at Corpus
Christi the following morning at
1880 o'clock. This same service also
will provide for all flat cotton gath
cred in the Valley each evening be-
ing set at Valley presses during the
night.
This is the first time in history,
Mr. Choate said, that such a service
eve has been provided for the
movement of a commodity like cot
ton. Mr.. Choate stated that this
service is made necessary in order
to compete with the trucks. Mr..
Choate points out that the new SER
vice of the Missouri Pacific will en-
able the man who sells his cotton
to get his money the following
morning before noon as the Missouri
Pacific has completed arrangements
at Corpus Christi for unloading Of
all cotton at that point that the
presses are not prepared to take off
the cars at 1880.
An additional feature of the new
service, Mr. Choate said, would be the
operation of what are known as
Scrap Cars" which will pick up
small lots of a few bales each des-
tined to the ports of Houston and
Galveston will move to those ports
on the fastest Red Ball trains ar
irving at Houston the second night
and at Galveston the second morn

WARNS
AUTO DRIVERS
Strict Enforcement Of Ii
cense Law Begins I'm
mediately

Cameron county automobile own.
ers driving cars with but one Ii
cense plate face immediate arrest
and a heavy fine, County Attorney
M. r. Hall said Tuesday in sound
ing a second warning to lax OBJ
servers Of the state license law.
There no longer will be any
first warnings. and those fou1AR on
the county roads violating thin act
will be arrested at once" Hall said.
Those who insist on driving with
dealers licenses in order to save a
few dollars are also subject to ar
rest, and at the same time have
no chance to effect a saving, as
the old method Of paying the IL
cense fee in quarterly amounts has
been changed to monthly install
ments by a recent act of the leg
islature.
A third class Of license offenders
are those who live here but who.
for the past several years have
been sending back to former home
states for license plates to grace
cars using Cameron county roads.
A checkup is being made of such
offenders and the practice no long
er will be tolerated, the county at
torney said.

WASHINGTON, July st-(P)-
Leased wires and radio systems,
tapping the country for Off, :ial re-
ports of crop situations, TO rm one
Of the farmers great assets, in the
opinion Of Arthur M. Hyde, Secre-
tary of agriculture.
A network of 1880 miles of
telegraph lines is utilized I D carry
the market news traffic. l 4 addi-
ton, radio telegraph trans. mission
is used in lieu of wire lin es be-
tween Washington, D. c., and
Rochester, N. Y, and between San
francisco and Los Angeles.
Production forecasts have prov
ed so thoroughly practical al ID use
full" Mr.. Hyde said, that no one
intelligently conscious of the farm
er's interests wants them dl opped.
Crop information, since it is
bound to get out somehow, Is best
obtained from a competent source
which has nc object in dis 7orting
the facts. Without cover nment
crop reports, the farmer wo uld be
compelled to deal with buy 3rs in
the dark. Both the farmer and
the buyer should know the fttcts."
Official crop reporting has; been
constantly criticized. Farme, S are
told that early official repor, S are
always above the final produr :tion,
and that prices are adversely af-
fected at marketing time.
Criticism of the govern ment
crop reports" Mr.. Hyde said, docs
not come alone from the far raer,
but when it does, it has So ecial
force. This is because the first
essential of a crop reporting eys-
tenn is that it shall have the in
formed approval Of agriculture.
There is little foundation, how
ever, for objections. Governm G mt
crop reporting averages high in sac
curacy; it is reliable and authori-
tative; and it gives the farmer iI,-
formation that can not be conce al
ed from experienced observ aIs
along open roads"
Price variations, often laid to th !
predictions in crop reporting, a. Q
pointed out by the secretary to re :
fleet actual supply and demala !
conditions and not to under c
over-eStimate in forecasts.
Information on any crop is basen!
on material obtained from many
sources throughout its cycle. In

Adds ABABA, AbysSinia, July S.
Amid scenes of medieval pomp and col
or, Ethiopia, the Oldest Christian Negro
empire i'll Africa, has elected a new
patriarch and Altoona as spiritual lead
er OF 100000 Ethiopians.
AbySSinia has been without AN Altoona
since the death of Altoona MatheoS In
December, 1925, which was followed
closely by the death of the patriarch of
Egypt. The election of the Egyptian
patriarch took considerable time and,
pending this election, the appointment
of new ALTOONA was in allegiance.
Jurisdiction of Church.
Although Abyssinia is politically an
independent state, the patriarch of
Egypt holds religious jurisdiction over
the Greek orthodox population of Ethl-
opia and confirms The election of the
apoona, who must be subject of King
Fuad of Egypt. AS soon, however, as
the Egyptian patriarch, Johannes XIX,
was elected, the Abyssinian government
sent to Egypt Sable Sedalou, minister
of education and fine arts, to discuss
unof1cially the question of the appoint
ment of the new ALTOONA.
In Abyssinia a considerable body of
opinion feels that the ALTOONA should
no longer be an Egyption, but an Abys-
Sinian, and that further AbySSinlan
bishops should be appointed. On the
other hand, the Greek Orthodox Church
of Egypt, otherwise known as the Copt
Church, considers it essential that the
Altoona should be an Egyptian. Fur
ther, the Egyptians are opposed to the
appointment of AbysSinian bishops,
since, following the laws of the church,
three bishops can consecrate an ALTOONA.
This difference of opinion has been
solved by mutual concessions between
