sxid the same thing. We have
moved on and on, until today there
are twenty-five million cars in use
in the United States. Now stepping
back once more TO grapefruit. do
you folks know that today the
average production of grapefruit in
the United States is sufficient only
that each one of the adult popula-
ton of the United States, figuring
that at ninety million, has only
seven grapefruit per individual for
the entire year? That is the grape
fruit production in the United
States at the present time.
We'll, now, / do not know how
fast the use Of grapefruit Is being
developed. We have made a canvas
through the high class hotels,
through Pullman dining cars and
cafes as 70 the proportion OF grape
fruit that Is asked for by the people
who come there, in IN endeavor 10
find out what the ultimate consump-
ton OF grapefruit might be, IL the
rank and file of people were educat-
ed TO the point of using grapefruit
to the extent that the patrons or
hotels and restaurants and dining
cars and that sort Of thing do. That
survey indicates that ninety grape
fruit per year per person would

not be placing the number too high.
If that were the case, IL would
mean We could multiply the produc-
ticn OF grapefruit thirteen times
before We reached that point. Now
III you have the advantage OF the
cost Of production you would not
worry.
Sugar Content High
But there are two other facts
that enter into this proposition. In
buying grapefruit, why would you
select one kind or another, If you
had the choice? You would natur-
ally choose the one with the high
est sugar content. Alright, a grape
fruit OF California tests six percent
sugar, and you don't like 1t very
well. Alright, you take a Florida
grapefruit, which is tested by the
government as containing nine
percent sugar, and you ike it bet
ter. But when you get a Rio Gran
de Valley grapefruit that the gov
eminent tests as having fourteen
percent sugar in it, you say, That's
better STILL" so We have the ad-
vantage OF producing better quality
of grapefruit here.
Then, there is another thing. II
YOU had the advantage OF putting
the product on "A market with a

favor, that is another good reason
why you would not care about over
production. Orange and grapefruit

Nature is to be found at her best in the Valley
at all times of the year and is not restricted to GER
tain seasons for the display Of her beauty. Summer
and winter alike find the Valley v~erdantly beautiful.
There are many beauty spots of which even old resi-
dents are not acquainted while others are to be
found by the roadside where all who pass may see.
The upper right hand cut is a typical Valley
scene. 1t shows an irrigation canal with nearby
trees and s%hrubbery clearly mirrored in its placid
waters which perhaps only a few hours previously
were coursing down the Rio Grande.
In the upper left hand corner is shown Spanish
moss on Valley trees. a sight more unusual than the
irrigation scene.
The lower illustration reveals a typical Valley
street scene. 1t shows a palm lined residential
street, shadows cast by a warm winter sun with a
beautiful, cloudy semi-tropical sky overhead.

Differing Views Are Held on

Declaration by Mrs. Ruth Hanna Nc

prohibition referendum as a mandate

MRS. McCormicks declaration In her
speech at Springfield is In line with the
position taken by q number OF the
members Of Congress who vote dry.
That Is, some of them have indicated
they would abide by results of q refer
endun. Even Senator Wesley L. Jones
OF Washington, sponsor Of the drastic
Jones "five-and-ten" law, was quoted
sometime ago as being willing to abide
by Q referendum In his State.
Differing views are held here on the
probable outcome Of the referendum ia

primaries this year there has been un-
usually light attendance ct the polls.
should there be an overwhelming city
vote In Illinois in November that would
be to the advantage Of the vets.

In the past drys in Congress and out

Wesley L. Jones, but Senators Morris

Nevada and Thomas j. walsh of Mon
