Where Sympathy Is Not Maudlin

when mention is made to reformation OF Grim
fnals someone is likely TO refer to such mention as
maudlin sentiment" remarks the governor III his
prison reform message 10 the lawmakers. TT is the
philosophy of the law that society shall attempt a
reformation Of the prisoner in part as a matter of
self-detense to the end that he may no longer be a
menace to the life or property of his fellow man and
then our laws were written by humane people and
there is in it the desire to help the criminal for his
own good"
Then followed another high note which should
appeal to the same men and women of Texas who
are strenuous advocates of the reclamation Of the
convict as well as an impartial enforcement of the
criminal statutes of the commonwealth:
IF any say that it is maudlin sentiment to speak
OF this reform Of the prisoner I dare say that I have
sent more men to the penitentiary for violating the
laws of this state than any man who holds a seat in
either house Of this legislature. I believe in punish
ing the wrong-doer. but 1 also believe in making him
a friend Of society rather than an enemy Of society
when the period OF his punishment has ended. There
is a humane element in il and I would not overlook
IL; but. primarily. I am viewing the matter from the
economic standpoint of the state. the welfare of its
finances and its people"
Solution OF big problems calls for constructive
work on the part Of big men. Now the big men Of
the senate and the house should get busy and push
the cause dear to the hearts Of the people along and
rid their commonwealth Of a prison system which in
the years gone by was the shame Of the state and is
a costly burden today for the taxpayers to carry.

The Nevada Billboard Law

while state. county and local laws governing ad-
vertising signs on the highways are designed. in most
states, to afford protection to motorists, only in Ne
vada do they also attempt TO preserve the scenic
beauty of the roads. This was disclosed by a survey
of such laws recently by the bureau of public roads
OF the United States department Of agriculture.
In Nevada. no permit is granted for the erection
OF any billboard. sign or other form Of notice on any
location which may measurably destroy the natural
beauty Of the scenery or obscure a view of the road
ahead or Of curves and grades or intersection high
ways or railroads. While the majority Of states re-
strict the placing Of signs within certain distances
of curves, grades or intersections of highways or rail-
roads. Nevada is the only state of the az to restrict
the placing of signs where they will spoil the beauty
Of the scenery along the highways.
ct Is unfair to the motoring public that the very
Industries which depend upon the highways for their
whole business should be the worst offenders in
erecting and maintaining thousands of glaring. dis
figuring signs along out streets and ~roadways,"

lie Roads. recently declared.

An Unbiased Railroad Opinion

The most conspicuous aspect Of railway trans
portation during recent years has been the steady i'm
provement in quality Of service rendered" says a re-
port by the Department of Commerce. 1T is esti-
mated that the time required for a given shipment is
now at least one-third less than at the close Of the
war. This improvement in railway service has re-
duced the costs and risks of industry and of distri-
button. 1t has made it possible to do business with
out carrying excessive stocks of commodities.
The betterment of railway service has been the
result of deliberate effort on the part Of the railway
companies themselves and OF cooperation on the part
Of shippers and receivers Of merchandise. The rail-
way companies have improved their roadbeds and
their eouipment. Better equipment has
made possible longer trains with consequent lower OPP
Grating costs: the average train in 1929 carried
7sf tons Of freight as compared with 656 in 192l-22"
This estimonial to the achievements Of the rail-
road industry is especially noteworthy, coming as 1t
does from an unbiased governmental source, whose
business il is to arrive at facts and not give unde-
serve plaudits. The American transportation sys-
TENS must be given much of the credit for our IN
rivaled general development.

WOES OF A FIGHT PROMOTER
Beaumont Enterprise)

AAAA
Mr.. William Harrison Dempsey no longer wears
the heavyweight crown. but if reports from Miami
are TO be credited. ne has more to worry about now
than he had when he was champion of the world.
What with lawsuits and one thing and another.
Mr.. Dempsey has passed through experiences highly
disacreeahle to a person Of his simple. rugged nature.
But no enormous responsibilities rested upon his
shoulders. Tex" Richard could do the worrying
about the size of the gate" the possibility Of an &C
cident Gripping one Of his warriors just before a big
battle was scheduled that might mean the making
or the losing Of a fortune.
All Mr.. Dempsey had to do was to pummel his
sparrine mates and 20 through other exercises to put
himself into condition. Once he had signed . con-
tract guaranteeing him the biz end OF the purse. he
had nothing in particular to worry about.
Now life has changed for the sometime gladiator
carried through the years. Does Mr. Stribling want
to do q little flying? Mr.. Dempsey is on pins and
needles. lest one of his star performers be hurt In
an accident. Does Mr. Sharkey develop a sore
thumb? Mr.. Dempsey PAGES back and forth, with
knitted brows and a look in his eye that he never
had before.
Although the Miami fight promises to be a success
financially. whatever IL is as a pugilistic exhibition
we predict that MIR. Dempsey will not continue to
occupy TEX" Richards shoes. MIR. Dempsey might
be able 10 fill them. thanks to his prestige and popu-
Ilaritv. but a man lives only once In this world. Why
should he wear himself out doing something that Is
rot likely In make him much richer than he Is al
ready and is certain to make him unhappy?

The business men of Dallas are spending a half
million dollars advertising the resources Of the South
west. This expenditure will be spread over a period
Of three years. Seven hundred and fifty business
firms are contributing monthly toward this adver-
Using fund.
Over $500 inquiries have been received to date and
the campaign is just getting underway. These Dallas
business men are not trying to restrict the benefit OF
this publicity directly to their home city. They rea-
son that If the Southwestern territory builds so will
Dallas.
WHY not an advertising fund for the Valley? We
have an unlimited supply Of fruit and vegetables to
offer the people Of the North. We can tell those
folks about cur vegetable and citrus fruit and invite
them to come down and look the country over.
The growers should set aside a certain part OF the
price received for their fruit and vegetables for an
advertising fund. For instance, say we would set
aside five cents a ton for cabbage selling for SO a
ton and under; ten cents a ton on cabbage selling
for Sos a ton or more. On vegetables packed In
hampers and baskets We should contribute five cents
per box.
The chambers OF commerce should match dollar
for dollar the amount raised by the growers. This
arrangement will raise a very substantial advertising
fund. We could organize Valley Advertising Cor
poration." TIE board Of directors should consist Of
two members from each town that is contributing
toward this fund. One Of these directors should be
selected by the business men and one by the grower
Of that community.
We are very fortunate in having an advertising
agency here in the Valley that is capable Of handling
such an advertising campaign for the Valley. We
refer to the James Advertising Agency Of Mercedes
J. Meeker. president and manager of this agency
has had a wide experience in national advertising.
Mr.. Meeker was national advertising manager for
one of the largest daily papers in Houston for a
number of years. Mr.. Meeker could place the proper
copy in the mediums that would benefit the Valley
the most.
A small amount from each grower and business
man in the Valley will make a large sum. As the de-
|mand for our fruits and vegetables increases so will
our advertising fund. Within five years the Lower
Rio Grande Valley would be the most talked Of place
in the world. Our fruits and vegetables would be In
demand in every city in the United States where our
transportation costs will permit us to compete with
other sections.

The Genesis of the Oil Industry

The amazing growth OF the petroleum industry Is
hardly realized by the average person. The first oil
well in this country was drilled in 1859 and produced
but a few barrels a day. Fifty years later, in 1909,
the entire investment in the industry was less than
the present investment in pipe lines alone.
Two generations ago petroleum was best known
rs a medicine. and then as an illuminant. The in
vention of the automobile was of course the turning
point that determined the future Of oil.
GaSline became g necessity of life. The develop
nent Of aviation opened up another great field. Bat
tleships and merchant vessels became oil burners.
Fuel oil grew in favor in industry and now many
homes are using oil burning heating plants. Thou
sands OF miles of asphalt paving. a substance almost
entirely from petroleum, have been laid in this
country.
AS a result the oil industry is pre-eminen today.
And by scientific progress in locating leases, produc-
ing and refining. oil products are marketed and sold
with a maximum Of service at a minimum cost.
The great problem at the present time is to effect
conservation and cooperation between producers to
prevent waste of this liquid gold" Intense efforts
10 attain this are being made that both the industry
and the public may reap the benefit Of soundest bust
ness methods.

One of the fundamental laws Of
both the realms OF nature and Of
grace Is the law OF growth. Tt Is
natural for anything that has life
to grow. First the blade, then the
ear, after that the full corn in the
ear" It is the purpose Of the
Creator that we all increase in wis
dom and stature, and in favor with
God and man." Nothing is more
pathetic than a baby that does not
grow up physically or mentally. II
is equally pathetic TO the heavenly
Father when his children fail TO
grow spiritually.
Growth Seen BY Jesus
No more interesting study In
growth is disclosed in Scriptures
than that afforded by the Apostle
Peter. Few people would have re-
garded him as having III him the
promise OF great things that DAY
when his brother Andrew led him 10
Jesus. He was a rough. laundering,
untutored fisherman with few Of the
marks Of greatness as the world
estimates men. But Jesus saw IN
him a diamond in the rough, an am
him a diamond in the rough, an am
basSador In the making, and changed
his name. that In the new name
given him he might give him not
only the promise and prophesy but
also the incentive and inspiration
for the growth and development he
saw as an inherent possibility lying
dormant within him: Thou art
Simon the son OF John: thou shalt
be called Cephas (Which Is by inter-
probation . Peter)." 'Cephas' was
Aramaic and Peter" Greek, both
meaning Rock" From this time
forth Peter had a name to live up
to. Ii was a challenge To growth; TO
make good the hopes OF the best
friend Cephas had ever found.
Growth Commended BY Jesus

BEWARE OF NEW PLANT NAMES
CFarm and Ranch) /.


Old and we'll known plants are still frequently Of
fered on the market under some new and fancitul
nafe. The grass fraud by which crooks sold common
fescue. costing 6 cents a pound. at the rate Of sl-25
a pound. is fresh in our memory. A hybrid grain
sorghum which was common in Oklahoma by one
name was sold in Texas al three or four times Its
market value by using a newly-coined name.
The following from the Seed World brings to light
"a new scheme:
"A plant which is being sold in Iowa under the
names of California Fern. or Greater Fern, Is In
reality nothing more nor less than poison hemlock'
according TO DIR. L. II. Pammel, head Of the botany
department Of Iowa State college.

in Iowa and is poisonous to stock and to humans. In
the DAYS of the ancient Romans and Greeks It was
used to concoct a deadly potion with which TO exc

In a weed survey recently conducted by Dr. Pam
mel in Southern Iowa he found poison hemlocK

THE plant is common in California and Utah
where it has caused trouble by poisoning cattle, hogs
sheep, and even persons. When eaten by cattle II

vhitish root. compound finely divided leaves. a spot

New farmers and new crops hold out a perennial
charm for the experimenter. and rightly so. But a
great deal Of disappointment would be saved and
even danger avoided by sending samples of unknown
seed to your state seed analyst and to your agrono-
mist at the agricultural college for Identification be-
fore investing heavily in them, or planting them.
