Knights of the Round Table hold
rendezvous out on the west side;
discuss the affairs of courts and
queens, and settle their disputes by
the sword.
The King Arthur Club, for boys
living near the Hawthorne branch
library, 70 North Mount street, has
popularized the medieval heroes.
The club holds regular meetings at
the branch and each member strives
to keep his shield of honor clean
by following the example of his
knight.
Girls of the neighborhood also
resort to books as the medium that
takes them back to days of chivalry.
They live the times of Victoria and
Good Queen BeSs over again at
their poetry club each week under
direction of Miss Hazel Smith, as
sistant librarian.
Reading with a purpose has
caught the fancy of Hawthorne's
older patrons, who continue their
reading courses in psychology, biol
ogy, drama, literature, history and
modern exploration from year to
year. Gripping novels of the World
war and interesting travel books also
are in the spotlight of adult re-
quests.
About SIS per cent of the patron
age is adult, while the rest of the
clientele is made up of pupils from
the Hawthorne public school, St.
Anthony'S parochial school and
Washington high school. Mrs.

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-06-22

again In the Everglades state with Alabama the next
on the list. Texas democrats who attended the Houston
convention will recall Edgar W.. waybright Of Jack
sonville. He headed the ~anti-Smith delegates from
Florida in the Houston convention where he was
leader Of the anti-Smith forces.
After the convention he returned to Florida and
was state leader Of the Hoover democrats, stumping
the state for the republicans. This year he is a can
didate for state senator on the democratic primary
ticket. J. Turner Butler. a regular democrat, was his
opponent. Butler won by a very large majority in
the most populous district in the state, and one that
returned a large majority for Hoover and Curtis.
The Rev. Sidney j. Cats. wartime governor OF
Florida. another Hoover democrat leader, was q can
didate FOR the congressional nomination against Con-
gresham Thomas Yon, a regular. Yon was renom-
mated by a very handsome majority. Indeed. he re-
ceived a handsome margin over Cats and another
opponent who was a contender for the place. Dem
ocrats Of Florida, the regulars. invited all the Hoover
democrats back and permitted them 70 participate
both as voters and candidates in the June primary
Of this year, just as the Texas democrats who are
regulars bowed to the decision OF the supreme court
and threw down the bars.
A noted newspaper correspondent Of Florida re-
minds the readers Of mis- newspapers that while the
democratic party in Florida welcomed the Hoover
ties back and permitted them to participate both as
voters and candidates in this years primary, the
voters took care Of the situation, retiring the Hoover
cratic candidates to private life by giving decisive
maiorities to their opponents who had not bolted.
This happened in practically every section Of the
state for offices big and small.
It Is significant that the democratic registration
in Florida this year is $4,000 votes greater than the
total vote cast in the presidential election Of 1923,
when Florida landed in the republican camp by a
majority Of 10000. Alabama leaders predict a ire
mendous primary vote. A majority nomination is not
necessary in the Yellow Hammer state. A plurality
takes the prize. Helm has been barred from the
regular democratic ballot; his name Is on the ballot
as an independent democrat. There are exciting times
in Alabama these balmy June days.

Sunday afternoon. a polo team from Harrington
will meet one over in ReynoSa. n should be a friendly.
entertaining contest. But it will be more than just
that, it will help TO preserve and add to the friendly
relations already existing among the peoples on both
sides Of the border.
There is something about the right sort OF rival
ny in sports which helps to develop good will faster
and better than almost anything else. Friendships
formed on athlete fields. are the warmest imaginable
This is not the first time an American Polo team
has journeyed to Reynosa for a game. The Fort
Brown aggregation and others already have played
there and in each instance they have been enthusiast
tic over the reception received.
II Is a gratifying sight to see polo and other teams
from this side Of the border engaged in friendly
contests with those on the other side. What finer
picture is there than that Of American soldiers. es-
pecially, playing against courteous. capable sportsmen
from across the border. while a happy. c~ongenial
crowd from both countries looks on?
There should be more Of such athletic contests.
Teams from the schools on the American side should
compete with teams from schools on the Mexican
side Of the Rio Grande. Closer friendship ana under
standing are bound to result.

Democrats Again Control Florida

Now IL IS announced that Florida Will back into
the democratic column In November. State primaries
have been held. Florida landed in the Hoover column
in 1923. Hoover's majority over Smith was 10000 in a
vote of 100000. Recent primaries Of the two parties
were held. There we're only 25,595 republicans regis
tered against 5.66s democrats. Fewer than half OF
the 25,s98 republicans who we're qualified to vote
exercised their right In the republican primary which
took place simultaneously with that OF the democrats.
According to Florida politicians, all Of this proves
cunclusively that the carrying Of Florida for Hoover
in 1928 was not due to the efforts Of or to any ap-
probably increased strength Of the republican yarty
IN the Everglades state, but to the boiling Of dem
ocrats who we're preiudiced against the democratic
ominee and who have since returned 70 the party
of their fathers.
This happened IN Kentucky last year. 1t happened
in Virginia last year. II happened In North Carolina,
IN The month Of June, and now 1t has happened

Can the Valley Can?
1t Can

There Is need for extensive development Of the
canning industry IN the Valley. There is plenty OF room
for II and plenty Of money 10 be made from 1t.
Those canneries already doing business are doing
wen. Others viii come in and also be prosperous. The
day should come when all Of the canned goods placed
on Valley tables will come from Valley farms.
And why shouldn't this situation develop? Vege-
tables are being produced in other sections Of the
country On cannery contracts at good profits. The
same thing could and ought to happen here in this
fertile tip Of Texas where the best vegetables in the
world can be produced in abundance.
II is now a fact. almost a disgrace, that corn. can
ned IN Maine, is sold in Valley stores. Equally as good
corn can be grown down here. There is no reason why
IL should not be canned here. The freight on empty
cans is not nearly as much as on filled ones. There
Is no reason why it should not be canned here. The
same thing holds true FOR all the other delicious vege-
tables which the Valley produces.
II is not necessary that the empty ems be shipped
down here. If the Valley should take up the canning
industry as 1t should. factories to make the cans
would spring up to keep pace with the canneries.
There are some business men who predict that
when deep water ports have been built at Point
Isabel and Brownsville and the intracoastal canal has
been extended to Harrington, there will be three
enormous canning pants in the Valley-at Browns
vile. Harrington and Point Isabel.
The Herald does not know whether or not this viii
occur. nor If this is the best solution. It does know,
however, that there is need for enough canneries and
enough support OF canneries to see to It that all
canned goods used in the Valley are manufactured
IN the Valley.
It advocates this program in the belief that losses
from vegetable crops viii be done away with and that
the cheaper transportation. which the waterways will
bring, will open up a more profitable market for
Valley vegetables both canned and raw.

Two Texans Voted for Tariff Act

Two Texas congressman voted for the Grundy
tariff act. Claude B. Hudspeth Of the FL Paso district
is a democrat and a protectonist. He represents one
OF the great livestock districts OF America. He cast an
affirmative ballot for the act and has no apology to
offer. He will retire at the end Of his term. and his
successor will be Mayor Robert Ewing Thomson. OF
FL Paso.
Cong. Harry w. Wurzbach Of the San Antonio
district, the only Texas republican congressman
voted a loud aye. Wurzbach had a stormy career. He
has ever been a sharp thorn in the side Of National
Committeeman Rene B.. Creager. Advices from Seguin
point to Wurzbach as the republican nominee in the
November election.
A majority Of the voters Of the 14th district are
classified as democrats. a majority of the voters OF
the district are wet democrats. wurzbach Is a very
wet republican. Creager is for that matter.
There are three factions Of democrats in the dis
trict. The Kilkenny cat fight makes 1t possible for a
republican to win in what is known as "the great
military district Of the southwest" Now what viii
happen this year?
