to task.
The governor says that the diff
ference between Texas and Illinois
Is that Texas has crime but does
not condone it. while Illinois has
C iime and condones It. He points
to Mr.. Scarface AL Capone as a shin
ing example Of what he means.
Now ii is said that Mayor Thomp-
son proposes a million dollar lottery
for the visitors TO Chicago. There
Is one bright spot in Chicago's gang
rule. That is visitors r seld m
molested. They do not need the
lottery. But the people who live
there seem TO experience a lottery
every day with life and death the
stakes.
MINATED Annie says that If that
~ football game yesterday had
been any closer. she would have
died of heart failure from over
stimulation.
n. "A. PORTER believes a record
N for speed IN land development
has been set for the Lower Rio
GTande Valley.
A five-acre tract of land was sold
yesterday to z. Y. Wincape of Cuba,
Missouri. Mr.. Wincape seemed to
want action on that patch of brush
So they agreed to have il cleared
aid plowed for him today-and
planted for him by tomorrow night
If he desires. Mr.. Wincape so de-
sires. so a force of two hundred men
vas put to work on that five acres
today.
The land Is a part of the Barreda
tract. now being developed.
FRIDAY night when the Texas Ed
itorial Association dimes in Mat
amoros. Col. William z. Easter
wood of Dallas and ocean-flying-
prize fame is expected to be an hon.
ored guest.
This meeting OF newspaper men
Is for those who have been in the
game twenty years. and some Of us
younger fry have to stand by and
watch proceedings.
But it is said the Colonel. Him
self" is coming.
Recently the colonel was in Eng
land and could not understand why
the English reporters did not seem
a bit interested in the fact that he
had presented Coste and Bellonte
a check for S25, 900 for their flight

other questions but did not touch
on the flight until the Colonel fin
ally asked why. The reporter an
swered that little was cared about
what the French did. At least this
is the story going around.
MUCH speculation is going on
ItI these DAYS on the damage the
cold wave may have caused fruit
in California. or the frost have caus-
ed vegetables in Florida. or how the
cabbage crop is coming along and
what the price will be this year Tor
all.
Some damage is being done. and
taken as a whole conditions at this
time OF the year do have a bearing
on the Valley situation. But SO
MANY changes of various kinds. Tor
good or for better. can take place
THAT future price quotations assume
the form Of little over a guess.
Some Of the cabbage people seem
10 be terribly afraid and are pre-
dieting a very low price.

caution. but not for fear. We sup
pose that the proper thing 10 90

We did. II is too far away to cause
arv great feeling except TO wonder
what we will get out OF u.
rOLKS. we ran that picture OF the
Arkansas solon yesterday TO
show you what fine aides they
heve up in Arkansas. Anything real
r,esn we say about Arkansas goes
for the men. not for the ladles'
some of the finest souls we have
ever known live there, including our
ou-n mother. And some OF the let

In COMPARISON. II is believed that
the secret OF the seeming scarcity
IN the Valley this year is solved
The ducks are on the waters OF
,he South Texas preserves, and just
across the river where they are not
bothered. Persons coming by plane

them.
nUR idea OF a woebegone feeling

and YOU hear the shot hit them
