IN DUE
VALLEY
By c. M. HALL

nAIN, rain 80 away, SO the hllie
a ducks will play!
This was the song OF the re
tl0fning duck hunters yesterday, VINO
report that hard times are upon the
Valley. The rain damage TO the
winter vegetable crops in the VAL
ley is realized. but 1t has been taken
in silence compared to the wall SCI
I'D by the duck hunters. whe- they
find the face OF the fats covered
WITH va.er so tina. IL takes a man
equipped fran alpha 20 omega TO gel
a shot a. the BIRDS.
Tic ducks have betaken them
selves lar back TO the distant
stretches of water. and are quacklng
away that If the hunter would have
them he must get out his motor
boat and come and get them.
II is said that many geese are
being seen. but the usual haunts oil
the ducks are water bound. Many
Arnlistice day hunters returned
empty handed.
VyTIIILE the unusual rainfall has
w doubtless damaged. or delayed
the winter vegetable crop to no
little extent. it is by no means
wholly ruined. 1t was said today.
and little complaint is heard.
Alcrg some highways automobiles
arG seen parked by the roadside
while residents use other means OF
navigating the lanes TO their homes.
One man yesterday remarked that
H. is making his turnip greens tree
top tail.
TT is being taken easy. some fam
lies are no. even attempting to
come to town at all these days
The Valley has a philosophy. which
evolved cut Of surmounting obstacles
10 turn a wilderness into a garden
spot can see the best OF everything
Owe will get a much better price
for what We do raise enc man re-
marked. In some parts q the state
q committee would have already
waited on Hoover for aid. Blu the
VALLEY knows the sunshine will be
out In a fev DAYS and things Will not
be one half as bad as they Q sp-
pear.

yrIGURE5 read by c. z. Buckner at
Port Isabel Monday night we're
almost astounding With refer
euce 10 the number Of cases inves-
tirated by the Oklahoma City Bet
ter Business Bureau.
II Is said that organization IN
four months had placed before 1t
oyer 1000 cases Of alleged fradu-
lent, or illegitimate, plans TO wIloop-
scoop the public out OF us hard
earned coin.
1t IS said that with the develop
ment that IS sure to come TO the
valley the birds that skim along on
the crest Of boom waves Will be Tilt
ting down here. The kind that I'll.
In one night and out the next are
here referred 10.
Such an organization as proposed
can then save the public thousands
OF dollars. One Of the ways to do 1t
will be for everybody to report any
proposition made whereby too much
is offered for too little.
IF they ever open that oil pool at
the upper end of the Valley for
full development and things take
thsAusual turn. the public can expect
about fifty companies TO be shortly
organized stock statesmen Of which
will ask the people TO carry the
load of boring for oil.
The wildcatter has ever discovered
the oil. and he hoes a nard row. but
the filching buzzardS that follow
him are legion. And John Jones
pays his meal ticket and getaway
money.

today extends TO Marie Jones.
