FACULTIES OF
COUNTY NAMED
Principals In Rural Districts
Innovation For Conn
ing Year

All vacancies in the rural schools
ia Cameron county have been fill
ed, according to Mrs. w. R. Jones,
county superintendent. Candidates
chosen for the various positions
have been selected from a wide
range of applicants, and all come
highly recommended, Mrs. Jones
declares. Several holding degrees
are included in the list, and school
officials are looking forward to an
unusually successful term.
An innovation is being instituted
this year, as a principal is to be
appointed at each school. This Is
planned in order to make a more
centralized system, and produce
better coordination within the
units.
Mrs. Jones has sent out letters to
principals asking them to have a
meeting at an early date to work
out q program for the institute in
the fall, and she plans to have
a program arranged and subjects for
papers assigned some time before
the opening of the institute.

The following statement has been
sent to The Herald by Neal A. Brown
of Edinburg, one of the attorneys
representing the affiliated districts
of the Valley in opposition to the
granting a permit to j. T. Franklin
hy the state board of water engl-
neers for the irrigation OF $4,000
acres of land without storage:
"The board indicated, during the
hearing and in open session, that
if the application should be grant
ed. it would be only on condition
that sufficient storage would be pro-
vided for by Franklin and associates,
through the construction of reser-
voirs to insure against any demand
being made on the flow OF the river
under the grant which would IN
any wise jeopardize the rights and
interest of the prior appropriations
and Valley existing districts. This
commitment by the board to the
policy of requiring storage in the
a~nDlication should be granted was
very gratifying to the attorneys and
all present representing the opposl-
tion: and the case proceeded from
this announcement on to its close
on the questions of the amount OF
storage required and the feasibility
of the project, which embraced the
question of cost. The testimony
showed that there are about 375,-
600 acres of land being now actually
irrigated, after excluding roads, ca
nal rights-of-way and building sites,
and that the demand on the river
will be $4,000 acres when the new
projects like the Starr county, Good
win, Willacy county, etc., and n
remainder Of the undeveloped land
IA the present districts all come I'M
Ger irrigation. The flow Of the river
kept by government records daily
since 1901, excepting a few years
during that period, was placed In
evidence by the opposition through
Mr.. Anderson of San Benito, who
is on the American division Of the
international water commission OF
the United States and Mexico, and
also the actual consumption Of water
bv the 375, 900 acres now being irri-
gated. No evidence vas offered by
FRANKLIN to c%ontrovert the facts and
figures offered by Mr.. Anderson.
The result of these figures clearly
showed that there is no unappro-
priated water in the Rio Grande
river and that the application should
be denied. Mr.. Card, engineer, for
the Goodwin district, offered in evil
dence for the opposition his report
on the feasibility of the project,
which has been carefully worked
out and prepared by him at con-
siderable cost and much time spent
which showed that the project
would cost $11, 900 900 and would be
entirely unfeaSible and impractical
BILE from an engineering plus fl
nancial standpoint.
Summing up, the attorneys rep
resenting the affiliated districts, feel
that the announcement by the board

CANYON ROTARY L u
LEARNS o HUMOR

CANYON, Tex, July 13.-R-The
Canyon Rotary club learned about
humor from Professor G. Wesley
Batchelder of the public speaking
department of the West Texas
States Teachers College at one Of its
weekly luncheons.
Declaring that before person can
appreciate humor he must learn to
originate some Of it, Prof. Batch
elder indicated how perfectly COM
monplace things can be associated
for purposes of amusement.
Humor is the best medium Of TN
Outstanding between people, he said.
"AIl Of Us enjoy a joke, and most OF
us enjoy springing one. Lots of us
need more practice, however" he de-
clared.
A good listener Is necessary to the
humorist, he said. 1t always is bad
form and most Irritating to the joke
teller to be stopped at the end Of the
first line to be told that tive heard
that one" The etiquette Of humor
demands that we listen decidedly
even if we have heard the story be-
fore innumerable times, he said.

Cameron county's commissioners,
sitting as a board of equalization,
will begin hearings Monday for
county property owners who ap-
pear before the court to show
cause why the valuation of their
property should not be increased.
The county clerks office has
completed mailing out notices to
owners whose valuation was raised
and hearings will be held every
other day until the whole list has
been completed. 1t is expected
that not more than half Of those
notified will appear before the
court, and that the hearings will
be over in approximately two
weeks.
Owners whose Surnames will be-
gin with the letters A, B and G are
scheduled to appear before the
board Monday.
With Cameron county property
now valued at approximately $780,
900, 900 a gain of 100000 is regis
tered over last year, and approx
mately $4,000, 900 over two years
ago, County Tax Assessor G. A.
Cowden's figures reveal. The tax
rate, however, will remain the
same, $3.50 per 500. Cameron
county's tax rate is nj of the low
est in the state. Hidalgo county,
adjoining this one, has a tax rate
Of $2.70.
Increased acreage in cultivation,
nearness Of all property to paved
highways, and improvement by ir-
rigation, are reasons why the val
uations are increased, it was said.
Meanwhile, County Auditor j. j.
Bishop is working on his report
for the end of the fiscal year,
which will be ready early in Aug
uSt, and soon afterwards the bud
get for the new year will be ready.

$500 VALLEY
SLOGANS Sent
FOR CONTEST
Suggestions Pour In
From All Parts Of
Country; COMPETE
ton Ends August |
Especial to The Herald)

SAN BENITO, Juy 13.-All the
complimentary adjectives listed by
Webster and his associates have
been applied to the lower Rio Grande
Valley, most of them in touching
verse, in the $500 and more sug-
gestions for Valley slogans which
have flooded the office Of the cham
Der of commerce here.
The contest, which carries a prize
of $3.50 to the person who suggests
the winning slogan, ends August 1,
and another thousand suggestions
r expected by that time.
The bankers Of the Valley adj
vanced the slogan idea, and later
met with chamber of commerce Sec
retaries of the Valley, naming a
committee of three bankers and
three secretaries to handle the de-
tails.
This committee announced the
slogan contest.
Grapefruit, Too
In addition to a first prize Of
$3.50, a box Of grapefruit will be
sent as a Christmas present to every
person receiving honorable mention.
Slogans should be sent to j. e.
Bell, chairman of the committee,
here.
A surprising variation is noticed
in the slogans, according to men,
berS Of the committee, who have
looked over most of them.
It was stated at the beginning of
the contest that the slogans should
be very short, not more than a line
in all probability, and that they
should be of such a nature as to
apply to the Valley in particular.
Still the files of the committee
are full Of poems running into sew
eral verses, and with beautiful de-
ScriptionS which would be suitable
for any territory which cared to
use them-such as 1.-THE End of the
Rainbow" "The Promised Land"
etc.
No Poems Wanted
Some of the poems show consider
able skill, according to members Of
the committee, and they consider it
a waste of effort, since a poem
will not be used. They declared
that a majority Of those who sent
in slogans wrote them in the form
Of verse.
Several persons have gone so far
as to illustrate their efforts, with
pen and ink, and in some cases
with water colors.
Practically every contestant has
sent more than one suggestion.
Some have sent as high as Is or
20, which accounts for the large
number Of suggestions, as only about
500 persons have sent in suggestions.
The 500 are from all parts of
the country, as the word of the con-
test has spread far and wide.

AUSTIN, July 14.-Maps Of Tex
as, which will be made if the Texas
underground water survey law just
vetoed is reenacted, will depict the
state, instead of barren hills and
dusty prairies, as vast lakes and
water-covered areas, and in some
places, as a series Of lakes, one
above the other.
Texas, instead of being a semi
arid state as shown on its surface,
will reflect inexhaustible water re-
sources beneath the ground, when
this water is located and mapped,
according to A. H. Dunlap of the
state board of water engineers.
For instance, every part of the
state will show underground water
storages except a strip from Marble
Falls in Central Texas to about
