Easy way to make money. Two
young bandits in car in Chicago with
a girl driver for bait, lured a young
man into the vehicle and robbed him
Of $2San he had-and then threw
him out on the road. Fishing for
suckers is hard way to make living
at that but the incident goes to show
that some Of our young people have
nothing the matter with them when
il comes to making a few, what they
think are, easy dollars Three people
with car make the magnificent wage
Of IS each and run. a chance Of a life
sentence in prison as the robbery was
committed with a deadly weapon. a
gun The girl and synthetic gin were
the lure which caught the poor fish
The Ely miner., 1929-12-27

They could have done better than
that by going into the taxi business
They would not have needed the gin
or the gun A meter would have done
the work with better results and the
victim would have felt legitimately
gypped Of his roll with no comeback.

gentlemen are growing truck and
have made a fine beginning OF a
fine herd of Ayrshire cattle. Mr.
Zenor. who was kind enough to
drive us to /. Mercedes and Mis-
sion, talked of agricultural con-
ditions and suggested, as my good
friends Harvey Stiles has, that
more dates should be grown. I have
seen some dates and it looks to me
there is a wonderful possibility for
date culture in the Valley.
In our return trip to Rio Grande
City we stopped to accept the kind
hospitality Of DR.. and Mrs. John
Ashton of Mercedes. After making
an address to a group of senior high
students on the subject of "Conser-
vation,' we spent the rest of the
afternoon with these good people.

both wish to express our apprecia-
ton of their many kindnesses.
Point Isabel will be a very at
tractive place for winter tourists,
with a delightful climate and a re-
markable development in that Sec
ton of the Valley is now going on.
One of the most interesting features
Of the Valley is the bird island
which is in the vicinity of Point Is
abel. 1t is a game refuge. A re-
markedly large number Of birds nest
on the island and it demonstrates
what a refuge may mean to the
perpetuation of the bird species. I
hope that other bird refugees may
be Established in the Valley. There
is one fine refuge near Olmito
where ducks breed. While at Point
Isabel I had the pleasure of meet
ing Wayne Murphy, class Of %, and
Mr.. Ponthroe, class Of '27. Both
these young men have responsible
| positions with the United States
government engineers, and I was
most happy to have seen them
again.

The following letter written by

Writers who picture the Panhandle
oil fields this year as a vast stretch
of rugged, arid country devoid of
