for the fact that By the time they
have acquired enough money tor
leisure they have so formed the hab-

would be a pitiful world. Think OF
the majority Of people in the world
doing nothing but living OFF an m

HAVE a letter today from s. L. Gill
at Raymondville which throws

"Oil Korrect". This form OF o. X.
inr the list was adopted by the other
clerks and soon they used the mi
tials instead Of mis-spelling the two
words"
TENATOR Harris or Georgia In
~ taking q rap a. President Hooy-
er. today. bursts forth on the
Mexican immigration law not being
strictly enforced. He says.
We need to exclude the cheap
Mexican labor. Mexican labor in
Texas was responsible for a 100000
hale cotton surplus this year. which
had made IL impossible for the cot

For those of us who live in the
Valley. and in Texas for that matter
such tommy rot needs no comment.
Once in a while even a good demo-

DROPPED over TO the Capitol
theater last night TO see one

another showing. But the misfor-

Cormack.
What the voice Of Caruso was for

Objectionable TO him Is that those

How must II feel for Mccormack

What If we could walk into the
