nRICES of crude are tUmbling
down. Announcement after an
nouncement comes out telling Of
a company cutting it from ten cents
ND pc barrel, or the sliding scale
prevailing for territories OF Texas.
Over-production Is usually given
by major companies controlling the
price as the reason Tor SlasheS.
but this time 1t is probably a move
to force the independent producers
TO curtail their production, and not
throw it on the market In such
quantities.
There is probably no business in
America controlled by n faction
as the oil market Is controlled by
Standard interests. Where the VAL
ley Is concerned in the downward
trend of prices for crude Is that dur
ing such stages major companies
never open or encourage the open
inc of new fields. Which e
that If We have oil in the upper end
OF the Valley the day Of that Sec
ton being developed into full pro-
duction is further delayed.
rTTINTER has come 20 the Valley.
wv This is for the benefit Of the
~ newcomers. Yes. this Is our
winter. Isn't 1t terrible2 When the
sunshine comes out again the flowers
will just bloom more. that Is all.
vy7EST Brownsville and Los Eban-
VIZ os have named a central COM
- mittee on the question Of COM
ing into the city. and all indications
are that a favorable ballot will be
cast the next time this question
comes I'D for a vote. Los EbanoS
has been so inclined for some time,
but some few weeks ago West
Brownsville voted down the pro-
position. Those supposed to know
the why and ~wherefoTes have re-
marked that the boundaries laid out
in the other election did not suit the
voters. Others said the conditions
were not thoroughly understood or
the reaction would have been the
other way. Here is hoping the vot-
ers see fit to come on into the fold
and give us a city united
FRIDAY afternoon the Fort Brown
18th Cavalry will stage an ex-
hibition drill. All those who
have ever had military training en-
iov watching such a spectacle from
a technical standpoint and every
hody enjoys watching 1t because Of
the thrill which for some unknown
reason invariably comes creeping up
their spineS.
NEVER think of the cavalry that
recollection does not come TO
mind Of the professional gamb-
Ter who was ~conscripted during the
war. He was saddiing his mount
and failed 10 fasten the girth. An
officer came along as he was about
70 mount
Hey. Youl Don't you know you
haven't cot a cinch on that horse?"
bawled the officer.
"Shucks. I haven't even got an
even break" replied the recruit.
MINATED Annie says that af-
n ter handling the mail Of an
- editor she sometimes wonders
how he ever gets out a newspaper
that pleases at all. If he listened
to all suggestions stories Of:
Puns would be too cheap
Comparisons od!ous
Crime too horrible
Statistics too dry
Politics too rotten
Religion too dangerous
Development too windy
Sports too frivolous.
vYYHICH goes to show that fault
wv can be found with everything
and yet fault finding lever got
anybody or anything anywhere.
Light invariably penetrates chaos
and the world ever moves forward.
vTTHICH reminds us OF two axioms
NV hanging in the corridor o. the
~ Dallas News office. which you
have heard before:
There Is 50 much good In the
worst Of us. and SO much bad in the
best OF us that II Ill oehooves any
Of us to speak III OF the rest Of us"
And
HE who never makes a mistake
never does anything. ard he who
makes too many gets fired"
