LAMBERTONI IS
LIONS SPEAKER

A large attendance of Lions club
members heard a talk on two sub
lects Of much interest to Browns
vile people, the bond issue for a
new water plant. and the citrus in
dustry. The speaker of the day was
p. M. Lamberton.
Lamoerton urged the passage Of
the bond issue, emphasizing the
need for a new water system.
Outlining the growth OF the citrus
industry form 1921, when the first
carload shipment was made. TO 1880,
when 1900 airs were shipped. Lam
berton predicted that within a very
few years the Valley will be ship
ping 10000 carloads a year. Such
an increase Will necessitate enlarg-
ing the market to sections Of the
country not now consuming the
fruit IN any quantity. AS a more i'm
mediate problem he called attention
TO the need for improved marketing,
and the elimination OF "peddlers''
who sell out culls from their loads.
Progress in the profitable disposal
OF culls is being made in the way of
canning and bottled juices, Lamber-
ton said.
DR. Lawrence Olmstead was a
visitor at the meeting.
Vocal duets were given by Miss
Louise Wick and Mrs. c. L. Stone,
accompanied by Paul Kennard.

lotion CROP
IS DAMAGED
Terrell Estimates Loss At
Is Per Cent To Texas
Farmers

AUSTIN. Aug. 5. Up Damage
20 the cotton crop in central. east
and north Texas as a result of the
prolonged drought was estimated
today by George B. Terrell. commits
sioner Of agriculture. to be at least
% per cent of the crop. with some
estimates as high as IS per cent.
Terrell said the crop would not run
over 1000. 900 bales, with the normal
production around 5.OOO.O 900 bales.
Most Of the damage, he said was
confined to the early crop which
is shedding badly from drought as
far as Tyler. The hot sun has aus
ed the bolls TO open prematurely
with the result that numerous bios
SONS are ~shriveling up in the in
tense heat and falling to the
ground. IN several instances fields
will be a total loss unless there are
heavy rains soon, Terrell said.
He estimated that 40 per cent OF
the cotton vas late and could be
saved by rain within a week or ten
days.
The worst hit section, he said.
was in the redlands Of east Texas,
most Of the crop in the extreme
southern counties had been picked
and farmers were reported working
overtime to get II out OF the burn
ing sun. Practically all the cotton
in Cameron, Nueces, Willacy and
Hidalgo counties has been picked
and other counties reported rapid
progress.
The late corn crop vas hard hit,
but all the early corn was in good
condition. Approximately 20 per
cent Of the entire crop was esti-
mated to be late corn, and most Of
1t will be worthless. Terrell sad,

No damage was reported from the

COLONEL THOMPSON AND HIS
 PARTY

Of the many telephone calls re- sardlng the primary results which flowed into the Herald office last night, few inquirers failed to ask how Colonel Thompson had fared.
 Shortly after news regarding the mayoralty nominee had been well distributed virtually all calls for several hours had to do with Colonel Thompson.
 That must signify something. Judging by the comfortable lead over his rivals attained by the vener- able town clerk it would appear that it is the opinion Of the Republican citizenry that Mr. Thompson de- serves vindication.
 What vastly strengthened the colonel with Republican voters un- doubtedly was the announcement he made that after this election he will retire. The statement was definite and he no doubt means it.
 That left the Thompson campaign resting definitely upon a platform of yindication against the auditors

CURLEY STICKS ID
 GUNS IN DISPUTE
Sure Famous Shot Fired at
 Lexington, Not Concord

Boston. March 29 UP) - The poet Emerson and Mayor James NJ. Curley were at odds today over the question whether that shot which was heard round the world' was fired at Concord bridge or on LcX- ington green.
 Emerson's position in the con- troversy was clearly stated ln the verse:
 By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
 Their flag to Aprils breeze un- furlcd,
 Here once the cmbattled farm- CTS stood,
 And fired the shot heard round the world"
 Mayor Curley said the shot in question was fired on Lexington green. and he'd stick to it.
 The controversy arose when the mayor announced that in connec- ton with Massachusetts tcrcen- tenary celebration this year, he would greet visitors on Lexington green, scene of the firing of the famous shot.
 Historians and antiquarian ap- pealed to His Honor, asking that he right the wrong which he had done to Concord bridge.
 Lexington green stays in,' the mayor retortcd. five heard that l made an error but I favor LeXing- ton. I never heard when I went to school that this famous shot was fired at Concord bridge"

The unfortunate thing about an incident such as the successful rob- bery of l Watertowr trust company of S16,000 by young bandits" is that other weak minded youngsters may harbor the thought that to do likewise IS an easy and quick road to wealth.
 Nothing is further from the truth. Successful bandits usually are successful only q small fraction of the time. Like gamblers, they cant stop once they begin.

who criticized his methods recently.
 Human nature decided his stand ing in, the Republican party. They voted for Colonel Thompson in droves because they didn't like the auditors. Just as the general public heartily dislike. the alleged eff ciency systems one reads about, so they dislike auditors.
 The political situation regarding the town clerks office now sizes up in a most interesting fashion. Demo- crats, too, suffer from human nature.
New Britain herald., 1930-03-29

Y. The proposal is by no means new. of course, for quiet preparations have long been under way to launch such campaign eventually. The need was never greater than it is now. however and the drive for operating expenses brings the situation to mind again.
 New Britain's Y is inadequate in space, modern fixtures and many of the other characteristics that go to make up such an institution. Mem bers of the executive staff have struggled along with what they nave to work with, made the best Of things, and performed conspicuously good work even under the handicap. The building is so obviously unsuited to present day needs, however, that even the younger boys department members realize the need Of new quarters.
 The entire top floor of the main building, first of all, no more than accommodates the hand ball enthusl- asts. Some time ago the top floor of the building was remodeled 10 make four courts available. It was about the only space that could be devoted to them. The reception they received, was immediate. During the fall and winter months, particularly, the four courts are in heavy demand in the late afternoon and evening. More courts could undoubtedly be used, especially at rush hours in the evening. Likewise gymnasium space, with but on basketball floor avail able, is at a premium. The swimming pool, admittedly outdated by the growth of the association. almost has to declare standing room' at ccr- tain times during the day. Other functions are correspondlnGly crowded.
 It is generally known that the building, and land on which the Y. NJ. c. A. is built, are on sale. and that plans for q building fund cam paign have been considered. While business conditions may not be par ticularly suspicious for a campaign just at present, something definite ought to be started as soon as they improve. The Y. M. c. A. has got to tackle the job of raising money for a new home sooner or later. Considering the fine work it is do- ing in the city, the sooner the ne" building is ready, the better It Will be for the youth of New Britain In general.

THE TAX RATE "PROPOLITIoN,

An argument over taxation in- evitably leads to statistics and a study of political economy contain ing fractions, equations, radicands and unknown quantities.
 The general public. having for gotten all about its algebra, being shaky on handling fractions, and knowing no more about equations except that too much liberty is apt 10 equal license, sits back and takes too much for granted.
 A step in the direction of throw ing the Einstein theory into local politics was taken when MT. Quig- ley, during his last speech prior to the primary. referred to decreased value of dollars during one of his administrations-if not during all Of them-to explain inc increase in the tax rate.
 MT. Quigley, it will be remember cd, did not come to this until Mr. Bartlett had forced him into it by criticizing the Quisiey tax rates.
 It reminds one Of how the shad, the treasurer in Kingfishs lodge, ex- plained where the money went when Amos n Andy were on a visit of financial investigation.
 Whenever he got a dollar of lodge money, the Shad explained, the finance committee found it out and made a call. Of every dollar, 90 S-4 per cent went to the finance com- mittee. 67 1-2 per cent of the re- mainder went to members of the finance committee who did not &C., company the first delegation, and S7 1-4 per cent of the remainder went for current expenses, result ing in 1-2 of 1 per cent remaining to pay the salary of the Shad of which 5l 1-o per cent remained un- paid.
 If you can figure that out you will have no trouble at all in follow ing the tax rate discussions of the candidates.
