that Is cheerful acceptance, not
content" !
MYTH the vote on the tariff sched-
wv ueled for today, after debating
- the matter about a year-and-a
half, and the Valleys deep water
port action scheduled to follow that,
thought all Valley people would
switch from the prize fight to more
important business.
But the fans of the nation cam
not stand the nature OF Schmeling's
victory. and today barber shop and
lunch counter chatter is mostly OF
the great fiasco at Yankee Stadium
last night.
Listening to it one hears a great
cry for Jack Dempsey to return TO
the ring and bring back the heavy
weight title TO the land that has
nourished ii for so long.
AS a head fighter Jack Sharkey
ranks at the pinnacle of the non
thinking type.
He rushed out 10 finish Dempsey
in the seventh round and woke up
with the crowd all gone. Last night
he had a fight won and either grew
careless, or just plain low down. and
today Germany owns the successor
10 Sullivan. Corbett, Fitszimmons.
Jeffries ct al.
Sharkey possesses the best pos
sibilities Of a fighter in the younger
american generation of today. but
fhere IS really none in the coming
: set who can compare with the &C.
ond raters Of long ago.
Jack Dempsey. or Gene Tunney,
are about the only men who can
bring back the lost laurels and
Dempsey is the more popular Of the
two.
Now we have to wait about a year
to overcome Sharkey'S foolishness.
Anew YORK and adjacent cities
IN almost hated Sharkey before
the bout. Today they probably
have nothing but venom for the
man who threw away a title, all but
won.
nut down here in the Valley it
III really means nothing in the
pockets of any Of us who wins
a prize fight. except TO those so
foolish as TO wager on one.
But what does mean much is that
TO date one railroad company has
shipped a total Of l9.969 cars Of
fruits ard vegetables against 49,
255 cars last year.
Which means that with the cotton
crop coming there should be much
loose change in the hands of the
people before long.
TO-DAY is Friday The Thirteenth.
So lookout-be careful. The
pagan ink may get you. SO far
we must admit that nothing has
happened except that Brownsville
and the Valley got up and put on
the left shoe last. and had a few
cats to run across in front OF their
cars as they went about their bust
ness. But business Of throwing a
little salt, or splitting owe left shoul-
ders, will overcome all that, and we
really have nothing to fear.
II the Valley did not put on the
left shoe last, it at least put on the
sshoe that was left. Just for argu-
' ments sake.
THIS business o. gittin married in
June doesn't seem TO be holding
its own this year.
Over at the court house County
Clerk Seago (also candidate for re-
election) says the Wedding fees are
not coming through the window as
fast rs they really ought TO, consid-
ering our increase in population
and everything. To date only 25
have taken out the necessary pap
ers.
He couldn't account for this slump
in business unless it is the cloudy
weather affecting the courage Of
the men.
Up in Arkansas, where they say
A. Is a rich man for luck and a pore
ma for kids. the justices OF the
peace, toady to the county clerk in
order to get bin to direct undecided
couples their way. But the pastors
are being charitable and have not
entered protests or asked for a con-
eressional investigation.

FOLKS, we always have admired
society editors. All their lives
they are kept busy telling what
a papular and handsome man some
geek is who has succeeded in fool
inc some beautiful girl. We have
often wondered how they car bear
to write so trlxhfully about the
brides and such awful stuff about
the grooms.
. That is we never could understand
"a until we heard the society editor
ask the sports editor how Gallant
rox finished when Wykoff won the
hundred yard dash. II she had only
asked what college Fox represented.
what q perfect world this would be.
