state Of Texas as part OF their
preparations for the state conven-
ton OF Business and Professional
women's clubs which viii meet In
Harrington. June 10, 20 and n. but
this statewide publicity will do un-
told good for the Valley In general"
Mrs. Fulgham stated.
All sections Of the state viii be
covered In the campaign. according
to Mrs. Fulgham.
Both large cities and small towns
will read about the Valley from
week to week" she said. Our pub
Lefty department has already sent
out stories to sixty papers In all
cities and towns where there are
Business and Professional Women's
clubs.
These stories will appear in the
papers throughout Texas, beginning
Sunday. May 4. They will continue
through the convention dates"
The nine Business and Profess
sional Women's clubs in the Valley
will have part in the entertaining
Of the convention, all delegates to
be taken to the Valley cities where
there are clubI including Browns
vile, Harrington. Weslaco. Donna,
McAllen, Edinburg and Raymond
vile.
TN planning this publicity which
will be read by all newspaper read
erS in the state we are keeping IN
mind that the people are interested
both in the convention and in the
place IL is held" Mrs. Fulghain
explained.
$50 many people include a vaca-
ton trip when they attend conven-
tions. We want to tell them about
the Valley SO that they will either
spend several more days here. or
become so impressed with the beau
ty Of the Valley that they will re
turn soon"
Since the Valley Federation is a
unique organization, nine clubs with
a hundred and thirty members, the
delegates will be especially inter
ested in the territory. as the clubs
are scattered over a portion sixty
miles long and thirty miles wide. IN
the opinion Of Mrs. Fulgham.
"All other service clubs. the
chambers Of commerce and the
newspapers in the Valley are prom
Using their heartiest cooperation for
the state convention" she said.
The first night Of the conven-
ton. Thursday. June 10. will be
open to the public, and we are ex-
pecting to have the Harrington au-
ditorium filled with Valley citizens
as the program will be Of interest tc
everyone" Mrs. Fulgham stated.

intoxication charges being entered

Observation-Disclosures
A Tabloid Survey of the Important News of the
World, Interpreted for the Convenience
Of Those Who Want to Keep
Up With the Times

The news budget this week Is
rather lean, for there are few
genuine additions to the worlds
chronicle to impale in a sum-
mary.
Glacier-like, the London confer.
ence, which has been nearly ship
wrecked so many times that taut
nerves In all the chancellories Of
the powers are beginning to give
wa. is numbering towarcs coma
sort Of conclusion, but just
what it will be not even the
best-informed observers On the
scene of action appear to know.
Italy is still fighting q battle
of prestige by insisting On naval
parity with France; the negotia-
tionS looking towards a security
pact between France and Great
Britain have been futile so far:
Japan and the United States have
reached a temporary agreement
as to their relative ratios Of
naval strength; the movement to
conclude a three-po7er limitation
agreement, instead Of one also in
cluding France and Italy, Is not
making headway.
The talk of the United States
entering consultative pact" in
the event that France and Great
Britain sign security pact has
all but died out; opposition OF
the Senate to ST. pact, headed
by Senator Borah, makes it ut
terly impracticable at the present
time.
The tariff bill, now in confer
ence, is being jockeyed into posi-
ton where it may even face
strong White House opposition If
any further changes are made In
it. Votes upon such key rates as
cement, sugar, lum Der, and
shingles remain to be taken IN the
House, and there is a chance that
the high sugar rate voted by the
Senate will yet be Striken out
of the measure. The farm bloc
members of the House, led by
Representative Ramseyer, Of Iowa.
are dissatisfied with the measure
as it stands, and are in a mood
to fight it on the floor Of the
House unless further concessions
are made in the way Of high
agricultural rates.
The issue Of whether President
Hoover must tell Claudius H.
Huston to resign as chairman OF
the Republican national commit
tee, or whether the committee it.
self must break the sad news, Is
still puzzling political Washing
ton.
The only question on which
there is entire agreement is that
the chairman must get out. The
most recent revelations concern
ing his notwithstanding him
with parties in Washington and
New York-are Fastening the day
of his retirement.
Colonel Huston Is said to be de-
termined not to resign while un
der fire. The charges involving
his activities on behalf Of Muscle
Shoals will be aired again in the
Senate in the near future. The
