A ''Catch'' Problem

AFTER putting six ears Of corn
n in a hollow tree a squirrel de-
cided to move its food supply to
another tree. Although the squir-
rel carried out three ears each
day it required six days for the
little animal to carry all the corn

LOwLY BUT SURELY the age-old
barriers between p " great
republics Of the Western hernis-
phere are breaking down before the
nress of modern commercial and tour
ist traffic. Where a few years ago the
Rio Grande presented an insurmount-
able obstacle TO communications be-
tween the peoples Of the two nations,
the structures Of the B.. & p. Bridge
Company have brought commercial
and social contacts. A~ntipathies and
prejudices. which for many years have
separated the two republics. are rapid
" disappearing as the result OF these
contacts and the better understanding
. which has been created.
Il Is doubtful II there has been any
force more potent in Fastening devel-
opment OF the Lower Rio Grande
country than the construction Of these
bridges. With the elimination Of the
old barriers and the creation OF better
understanding and mutual respect for
the ideals. customs and ambitions of
the two nations the tide Of commercial
and tourist traffic has steadily in
creased.
History has merely repeated itself:
Opening Of travel lines, bringing new
contacts and banishlng isolation, has
brought in its wake progress and COM
mercial development, and in this both
the Lower Rio Grande Valley Of Texas
and the northern sections Of the Mexi-
can state Of T~amaulipas have profited.

SHAW FAVORS
ADVERTISING
BIames Lack Of Publicity
For Downfall of Con-
servatists

LONDON, Aug. 5.=Rl-George
Bernard Shaw. foremost literary
Snowman OF Europe. today made a
defense Of political window dress
ing before the independent labor
party school at Welwyn.
He pointed the moral Of his tale
by saying that the conservative
party had lost the parliamentary
general election In May because its
leaders failed to realize the value
of such window display. He told
the labor students that the conser-
natives had had a good program
but never succeeded IN advertising
it.
BY neglect Of window dressing
the late government contrived tc
convey an impression Of childish
ness and ignorance. which resulted
in their being completely discredit-
ed" said Shaw.
@. 3. S. had a few words to char
acterize the other political parties.
He described the communists as
still dreaming and talking a lot
Of rubbish about revolutionary
working classes"
He thought the decline of the
liberal party was more apparent
than real. finding the liberals VIC
tins of the present British electoral
system.
The labor party was not exactly
popular but it was the only party
that was not unpopular and people
voted for labor because the others
were SO hopleeSs."

It has been clearly brought OUT

about eight per cent Of the cotton
farmers of the South belong to CO.
operative marketing associations,
leaving 90 per cent out OF reach OF
the board"
TWO former lieutenant governors
OF Texas. Lynch p. Davidson OF
Houston and Z. w. whit David
son Of Dallas. were among the
other speakers.
Fred David. former state agricul-
tural commissioner. discussed the
effect of continued good prices. de-
claring that by stabilizing the price
Of cotton and providing more money
for the farmers their living condi-
tons would be improved greatly
and that they would be able to de-
crease the amount Of acreage now
planted in cotton.
"All agencies except the producer
who have anything to do with cot
ton are in n position to establish
prices on this commodity he said.
1T is a challenge to the cotton
farmer OF the South 10 cooperate ir
the orderly selling or his crop. and
he must see that he gets more for
the crop than IL takes to produce
same"
