South Texas is known as the garden spot Of the
world. It IS the citrus section Of Texas. 1t Is the
vegetable producing section. Its growth has been
rapid. Its big producers are large employers Of Mexi-
can labor. o. w. Killam is an outstanding citizen Of
the Laredo county which is on the fringe Of the Magis
Valley. As president OF the South Texas Chamber OF
favor Of the BOX bin to further restrict immigration
This is his viewpoint:
Present laws are adequate II they were enforced
and I favor this enforcement and a little tightening
where possible. This would mean much more to the
laborer and much to South Texas" He declared he
did not believe cheap labor necessary for the pros
perity OF his section or any other section OF Texas.
His viewpoint again: The farm man should re-
ceive as much in wages for his labor on a farm as
the street car operator or any Of the other trades In
the city. ! want to see the day come when my boy
or your girl viii look upon the business Of farming
IS a life vocation as eagerly as they now look toward
teaching or the law or any other business for a pro-
fession. Cheap labor is not necessary but a hindrance.
More consumers Of farm products are needed and
not more cheap labor"
AS a Texas, proud OF the commonwealth, this bust
ness man and builder declared that there had been
a surplus OF cheap labor in South Texas this year and
this cheap labor at this time, as the field work is
almost finished, is becoming a problem to handle, SO
all may i've through to the next season"
In other words. he Is for the highest standards Of
living for labor, seasonal or permanent, and higher
standards Of living call for well-paid workers and
the high purchasing power which IS vested in a we'll
paid worker in all civilized countries.
Henry Grady Kinsoving Of Corpus Christi Is the
successor OF o. w. Killam as president OF the South
Texas Chamber OF He has won his spurs
IN the newspaper field. lie has youth and ability
and courage and initiative and should make a record
as the directing genius Of this organization OF empire
builders.

CHAPTER "a

CHAPTER a.
Ann held an afternoon tabloid In
her hand. KenesSa watched her
with bated breath.
Ann was getting ready To talk. She
felt certain OF IL All week long
Kenessa had waited impatiently,
feeling certain that her colleague at
the stocking counter was about to
reveal something that would b OF
benefit.
Kenessa shook her head, sadly:
That poor March kid. She must
feel a lot better today. That must
have been awful
Ann looked up. confidentially:
You don't know the half OF it.

what do you mean? DO you think
she really did do it?"
II think there's something rotten
in Denmark about the whole thing"
AIMS lips set firmly. She was just
q little too good to be real. And
that amt all"
Really? Tell me-" Kenessa urged
cautiously.
Then Ann said very low:
We'll, don't tell anybody. But she
and Roy Andrews had something be-
tween them. And don't you think
they didn't"
Kenessa grabbed the counter for
support. She must not show her
shock, no matter how much Ann re-
vealed. Ann went on. reveling In
her secret.
The first day she came into the
store she started making q play for

KenesSa Squirmed a little uncom-
fortably at the aSpersions being cast
on her own black dress. But she
tried to keep her face from showing
anything but feminine curiosity and
delight in being able to dish q little
confidential dirt.
Ann went on:

KeneSSa was getting sick with
horror. She protested weakly:
"Oh. not a kid like that-maybe he
just thought she was cute. She looks
as though she had cunnin' dimples,

Ann shrugged wisely:
-Well, there was a red skin in the
sheet somewhere. and believe you
me, I know 1t. When he didn't show

she knew where he was and she said
supposed he'd gone on a vacation.

Ann smiled knowingly.

Kenessa felt cornered. She was
as certain Ann had talked to other
people. And would 20 on talking.
The girl had a malicious streak III
her. She was bitten with the desire
to get into the spotlight. That was
obvious. There was evidence that
she was jealous OF RoSalie, too. Ke-
nessa surmised that IL had made her
very angry to have Roy Andrews
pay attention to Rosalie and ignore
her
Didn't you like Rosalie March al
all?" Kenessa asked Ann then.
"Oh. I liked her well enough" Ann
