lets for the surplus production of a region in which
the agricultural and mineral resources are being de-
veloped with a rapidity never before witnessed in
the history Of the American nation. Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas-the great
empire Of the southwest-depend upon Texas port
development to provide the avenues through which
their ever-increasing production will find outlets to
profitable markets.
W. E. Lea of Orange, Texas, has made a life study
Of Texas ports, and has been prominently identified
with development Of several. along the Texas coast
from Orange to Corpus Christi. He knows their po-
tentialities and problems; he is familiar with the va
rious sections they are designed to serve and the
part they are destined to play in the development Of
southwestern resources. A man of his qualifications
on the federal shipping board would prove an inval-
liable asset not only to the southwest but to the en-
tire country.
President Hoover has indicated that in the selec-
ton of men for the various boards and commissions
he desires TO secure those who through years of serv-
ice and study have familiarized themselves with the
problems and details of the respective departments
in which they will serve. In other words, he has in
dicated a policy founded upon efficiency rather than
political expediency, and if this policy is followed out
the shipping board will be composed Of men who,
like w. E. Lea of Orange, are fully qualified by years
Of experience TO discharge the duties of their off
cial positions.

The international Water
COMMISSION

One Of the most interesting announcements in re-
cent weeks is that the American section Of the in
ternational water commission will meet at Wash
ington early in April to assemble data on the Rio
meeting Of the American and Mexican sections is ex-
pected to be held in late April or early May to pre-
pare a tentative draft for an American-Mexican
treaty covering distribution of the waters of the in
ternational streams.
The Rio Grande Valley for many years has been
looking forward to the time when the treaty Of Quad
alupe Hidalgo would be succeeded by a new treaty
setting out in detail the respective rights OF the
United States and Mexico to the waters of the Rio
Grande. 1t was with this object in view that the
American section of the present international water
commission was created by act OF congress IN 1924
the bill bel lg sponsored by Congressman John n.
Garner.
The Valley has been very fortunate in the fact
that w. E. Anderson, San Benito engineer. was MADE
a member Of that commission upon the unanimous
request Of Valley interests. Few men have made a
more intensive study of the Rio Grande and the prob
lens Of the Valley in their relation to that stream.
Upon him has fallen the duty of collecting the major
portion of the data which will be considered by the
American section early in April and which will be
the basis upon which the tentative pact will be ne
gotiated between the two republics.
The Mexican section, like the American section, Is
composed Of engineers who have made a study Of
the water resources of the border country and who
will approach the many complex problems involved
with a view to arriving at a definite conclusion pred
icated upon a basis which will be eminently fair to
the interests of both countries. 1t is one OF the few
commissions ever organized by either government IN
which the political factor has been completely elhmi-
mated. and this fact enhances the confidence which
the border people of both countries repose in that
commission.
Ratification Of a treaty with Mexico based upon
an equitable distribution of the waters Of the inter-
national streams will assure the basis for additional
DEVELOPMENT Of the Lower Rio Grande Valleys re-
sources through conservation Of Rio Grande waters.
1t will be the foundation for development upon a
scale such as no agricultural area in the United
States has witnessed. It is safe to predict that nego-
tiation and ratification of the treaty Will be followed
by a conservation program that will assure ample
water for practically every irrigable acre on the
lower Rio Grande, eliminating a condition and prob
lem which for the past decades has been one OF the
greatest h~andicaps to Valley irrigation Development.

wife. George Spelvin, a lawyer.
Beegle very frightened: Well, goo bye all.
Mrs. Beegle: Don't talk like that, Eric. You might
at least wait until you're before the court.
Beegle with deep emotion): I forgive everybody.
Give my gold watch to Uncle Willis.
Mrs. Beegle: Please. don't go on like that.
Spelvin: Cheer up, Eric. Of boy. You're taking it
too seriously.

they can hang you.
Beegle: How about shooting?
spelvin: Aw. they can't shoot you. That's only for
second offense!
Beegle Tin a cold sweat: How do I know they
won't charge me with a second offense?
Mrs. Beegle: I'm sure they won't shoot you, dear.
Now just cheer up. And, anyway. I've got some good
news for you.
Beegle: What is it?
Mrs. Beegle: I clipped it from a paper. 1t says
that two men tried yesterday under the Jones law got
off with only forty years at hard labor and a fine

Beegle Chysterically): Go awayl Scat! Out!
Spelvin. Lemme see the clipping I thought
SO It's a typographical error. Probably what it
means is four years, not forty.
Beegle Hrenziedly): PROBABLY? Amt you any
more certain than that? Suppose it's not no typo
graphical error?
Spelvin: You have nothing TO worry about unless
we get a judge who wants to make an example Of
somebody. The judge in this court made examples
of several people yesterday and I am in hope he will
feel this is enough and will reent a little. If, on the
contrary, he gives you the maximum sentence. We can
ask for a stay of execution.

Mrs. Beegle: Don't take on so, Eric What
ever happens I will stick by you to the last.
Beegle: To the last! Hear that now!

What I meant was that if you get any long prison

Sen, Joe Moore's Pet Bill

Senator Joe Moore put over a bill which creates
the Twelfth supreme judicial district and placed a
new court of appeals in Greenville. Hunt county.
Senator Moore is publisher Of an important newspa-
per and Is a lawyer as we'll as a lawnaker.
His bill creates an appellate district composed of
the counties Of Hunt, Fannin, Delta, Hopkins Kauf-
man, Van Zandt, Rockwell and Dallas. The county
of Dallas is also in the fifth district, being the only
county in Texas in two supreme judicial districts.
Senator Moorefs measure provides for appeals to
the Dallas court during the first six months Of each
year. That will be the procedure If the governor ap-
proves the bill.
But will he approve it? Former Senator E. @.
Senter of Dallas is for the disnantling of all the civil
courts of appeals. He is the only Texan in the field
who is a candidate for the democratic nomination for
governor in 1890. Abolition of all the "a courts is the
platform the Dallas senator has announced to the
public and on which he will run while the running Is
good.
If the veto axe falls upon the bill and beheads it
the senator from Hunt will be disappointed. Those
who are close to the governor predict that the axe
may fall.

CRIPPLED MAINE MAN
BIG FARM

EAST LIVERMORE, Me-, March
25.-tP-Although an accident in
the woods eight years ago cost Stan
ley 4. Morrison one leg and rend-
cred the other useless, he still runs
a 18O-acre farm and has devised en-
terprising methods Of merchandise
ing.
Mr.. Morrison uses a wheel chair
which carries him about the house
and on which he can descend to his
piazza or the ground.
The coming of his disaster was at
first a severe setback to this active
man who had already transformed
the farm. his family homestead,
into a vastly improved place.
He cast about for new ideas. The
canning business appeared to be an
opening. He installed equipment
which he has expanded. Last year
the jelly he put Up amounted to 10
tons. In addition, he puts up mince
meat from his own recipe. apples for
apple pies, tomatoes, mustard
pickles. sweet and sour pickles and
other farm products.
