IN OUR
VALLEY
BY CHARLES HALL

EAOh EIOSL, 6IC0 enemy OF WIQLeI
truck growers, has swept down
upon Florida. and II is said that
a heavy toll of potatoes. tomatoes
and beans has been taken.
That Is very unfortunate for Flor
ida, but, as so often happens III
this world, the misfortune OF one
section may prove the fortune Of
another. The Valley will now get
a better price for its truck which es-
capped, then 1t otherwise would have
received.
II such things just have to be in
life. we have always figured We had
rather be the cat than the mouse.
in certain playful episodes we have
witnessed at times.
rENE Howe OF Amarillo, who Is
In proving that a small town edi-
tor "a become nationally fam
GUS, has broken out again.
While Mr.. Howe has been known
for a long time as a successful news
paper man also the son of Ed
Howe, N OF the greatest magazine
writers and editors in the country
today, 1t vas not until he said that
Lindbergh had the big head, that
he sprang into the national eye Of
the populace in general.
This, he followed with his criti-
cism of Mary Garden. which caused
q giggle over the nation and ended
by Mary's inviting him to tea, re-
Gently in Chicago.
Now, he has taken Z. II. Sothern.
singer. to task and called him a
pink-toed high halter. MIR. Howe
sent a reporter 10 interview Soth-
ern, who was TO sing that night in
Amarillo. He had space reserved
on the front page. MI. Sothern re-
fused to see the reporter. Howe
came out editorially and advised
Amarilloans TO turn in their tickets
and he would pay the promoter.
It cost the editor $500. and Soth-
ern gave the $500 he received to
charity. Sothern then shook off
the dust Of his feet against ANA
rillo, saying his toes were not pink,
and he hoped he never saw the town
again. It's e way Gene has about
him.
BROWNSVILLE has been appor-
N toned $4,000 as her part Of the
Boy Scout budget OF $4,000 for
the Valley. A central committee Is
now at work 20 get $1,000 OF that
sum before the teams take the street
here next Monday.
This budget is made up to cover
a period OF three years, those in
terested attempting to put Boy Scout
work, where the scoutmasterS can
think Of their work. instead OF Won
dering where they can collect a lit
tie money to keep the organization
intact.
THESE long skirts that spring Is
bringing with her seem TO be
lust about the berries, when 1t
comes 10 appearances. But, who
ever saw n beautiful woman who did
not look beautiful in anything. Even
a bathing suit.
Walked down the street behind
two Of Brownsville's prettiest yeSter-
day, and the spring zephyrs kept
swirling the flat crepe around. One
OF them suddenly gave an excited
grab and remarked: III declare,
the longer they are, the higher they
blow"
rrHOSE who follow Dame Fashion
and wear them. must remember
q that when Rose blows her
nose on her clothes her hose shows"
hnGNT this spring business, O..
IA Cecil Covill. Detroit bachelor,
who thus parts his name IN p
middle, wants the ladies TO let him
alone. Press wires tocay say he
won a $50. 900 ideal home In a real
estate exhibition and the unmarried
ladies lust wont let him alone
Letters have come by the thou
sands. and he wants them 10 know
that ne is engaged to Miss Margaret
Graham, a Scotch lassie OF ST. Tho-
mas. Ontario. All right MI. Covill,
we will help you all We can, but you
know they never give up until tne
preacher has pronounced the pro-
hibitive words.
1T looks like the FURNISHED dove
is cooling all over the nation.
. Howard Wyre Of last Orange,
N. j.. bank teller, claims he was
hvpnotized by two Gypsies. They
came j n and wanted dimes changed
into dollars. While he was busy
making big money out Of little mon-
ey. one of the Gypsies consented 70
zen his fortune. She asked Wyre
to put his hand on a large sum OF
money. He did. and the fortune
teller placed a handkerchief over
his hand, muttering. When ne
woke I'D $1,000 was missing. The
older the game the harder they
fall.
