IN OUR
VALLEY
> BY CHARLES HALL

WAAAlE DEFO14 SnerllI burton
was leading Texas attorneys in a
merry chase Of hide and seek in an
attempt to avoid having papers SER
we'd on his now famous prisoners,
robbers slipped into Stinnett and
robbed a bank.
Burton is a former Texas Ranger
and whether they picked the time
he was out of town. or the occasion
OF a severe snow storm to escape =,
Is question none can answer. But
i gives Burton good opportunity
70 open window and throw out
|. DIS chest and say Il was gone.
The chase he is leading. which
seems enNed at Wichita Falls TO
keep accused men In jail. must have
some underlying motive. Tie state
attorney generals department denies
any knowledge Of the inside OF
the proceedings.
Habeas corpus proceedings are
lawful actions. Why should an Off
Ger Of the law want to dodge such
or have the authority to do so.
THE SCREAMING Brownsville
Eagles will return home tomorrow.
The game this afternoon IS being
received by arrangements through
the ]. c. Penny company.
Present plans are Off a royal re-
ception at the train when they ar
rive. They American Legion Drum
corps will be on hand.
Whether the Eagles win or lose
they should be given this welcome
home by every lover of the game.
They will arrive over the Missouri
Pacific at 1880 o'clock. Let all who
can be down to give them the glad
hand OF cheering.
SINCE COMING into the Valley
this writer has found a deep and
hidden secret. 1t is one OF the OBJ
jects of a newspaper to keep the
people posted on all that Is going
on in q community. With this duty
before us. we feel that there is one
thing here which should be brought
to light.
This seeming mystery is that there
are lot O. people here from Arkan-
Saa.
They have not come out in the
open vet. but there is a tell on them
all. If YOU know how 70 spot II.
There Is something about them that
is q dead give-away. But at that
they comprise some Of the finest
people on earth.
How does the engineer Of today's
spasm know all this? Because ne
came. at one time to Texas, from
Arkansas himself.
WHILE PRESIDENT Hoover Is
calling around his table the ablest
minds In the country In an attempt
10 stabilize business, or what pro-
bably be termed TO ward of any
nanickv fear, following the record
breaking smash OF the stock, others
are busy trying to place the blame
for the crash.
what does it matter so much who
4 10 blame for it. unless something
unlawful or underhanded was prac-
ticed?
Buving stocks on margin or cell
sng stocks on margin with the eA-
notation that a rise or fail IN price
wilI bring a large profit in propor-
tion 10 the risk taken IS nothing
hut gambling. Dice shooters down
an alley wagering whether certain
numerals will be up when the roll
i ended are arrested and fined.
But buying stocks and paying for
them as an investment baSeu on
their inherent values is not gamo-
ling and Is what the market Is theo-
,-rtically established for. It IS a
clearing house for business.
Gamblers lost in the market crash
because inflatation popped bubbles
wide open in a reflex and the ever
moving pendulem swung TO the otner
extreme. Those who owned tnelr
~tocks are not losers. where their
,,,vchases are based on substantial
i,sI,,eS- The companies in which they
nave holdings have just as many
tangii,le assets after the crash as
before. -
~ course where there was lot
:. water a lot o. felix's got drowned.
why should gamblers capers be al
1au-ad 10 rock a nation? There Is
,,,rt as much real money left in the
sa,,tS lust As much actual cotton,
~ corn. or wheat. or what have you.
N before. None should be afraid o.
the ultimate outcome, 1t seems.
The good Of the Hoover meetings
= ~ still fear. which might cause
further fluctuations
