parative figures accompanying TO set
forth the truth Of the assertion.
judging from what has been heard
the report shows business activity
but evidently not good business ac-
tivity. 1t is said that the faster the
early crop moves out the more 1t is
tearing down the market.
When growers rush in TO flatten
their own pocketbook by shipping
fruit, which left ON the trees a few
more days would swell those pock-
/etbooks, II seems that one of the
! greatest questions before the Valley
today is some way 10 market the
fruit without cutting our own finan-
cial Threats. A few early dollars
and a weak market and the Valley
loses dollars which would knock an
awful hole in its bonded indebted
ness.
VALLEY Rotarians gathered up at
San Benito last night and had
a powerful good time. To be
thanked chiefly for the entertain
ment is the San Benito committee
on arrangements.
With many there from Matamoros.
the meeting became an internation-
al affair. One of the major objects
of Rotary is better international re-
lations, this to be brought about by
a better understanding Of the peo-
pies of those nations. In turn to be
brought about BY meeting and ex-
changing ideas. They hope to take
this means to some day do away
with wars.
This theme was carried out in an
address by r. Martinez of Mata-
moro who said that the idea now
being directed into a specific chan
mel Is just 1000 years old.
At that time the very angels sang
Peace on earth. good will toward
men"
GENERAL Plutarco Elias Gales
I goes TO Mexico City and many
who have been wondering just
what would happen since Portes Gil
resigned as chief Of the revolutionary
party sit back with announcement
TO the effect "all is safe. the iron
man has come back.
Often the engineer OF this column
has had the question advanced
what will happen In Mexico if
Gales should pass on?"
Happenings IN the southern re-
public make that question a debat-
able one But IL has long been the
opinion that Mexico has many men
OF greater strength than Past Presi-
<dent Portes Gil. The big question
H. rFofar~anrnc ov@l ell n~r@~ t1@a -
tpublic today Is who will succeed
Portes Gil. Almazan was second 10
Gales during the recent revolution
and showed great strength and dis
erection. Would he prove Of greater
worth TO his nation as a party lead
er than as secretary of communi-
cations? But Mexico is learning TO
solve her civil difficulties with words
rather than bullets and chances are
order will soon be completely restor-
ed.
GETTING back TO that banquet
I steve" Caldwell was awarded
the palm for the best story OF
the evening.
A Jewish person and a Scotchman
took a friend out TO dinner. AT the
end of the repast the Jewish person
asked for the check.
mo give me the check" said the
Scotchman.
The waiter did.
Next morning the following head
line appeared in the paper:
"Scotchman kills Jewish ventrilo-
quist".
MATCHING the way Of the ladies
w these days we had just about
w decided that the women had in
vaded every field OF activity saw
one. and that would be forever pass
ed up. We refer 10 football. But
now comes the story that a certain
Brownsville woman was called into
play BY the Riddles the other day,
and got a real kick out OF the game.
