The Jingoes Given the Lie

How hard the iingoes Of two nations tried. following
That er-to-bF-rexeile tragedy Of last June the 9Th
which snuffed out the lives of two Mexican boys at Ard
more, Okla, how hard they tried to create of the incident
fuel for flames Of iii will and discord between two friend
ly and neighbor nations.
The press of both nations was filled with stories, pur-
porting to relate of a boycott to be imposed upon Amer
lean educational institutions by Mexican students. Hymns
and prayers OF hate sent heavenward by students in
Mexican universities were published as true in American
papers.
Everything that the creative imagination Of yellow
Journalism could possibly conceive was put into print.
Rumors, lies, irresponsible m~outhings, all were published
as the truth, and all helped to create in the minds of the
people of both nations a lack of understanding, and under
standing which has been gradually built up over a period
OF years along the border and which is gradually seeping
back into the hinterlands of both nations.
And now comes a short news item from Atchison,
Kansas, which tells Of the return to st. Benedicts College
of Salvador Cortez Rubio, the companion Of those unfor-
tunate boys who met death at the hands OF an Oklahoma
deputy sheriff in June. Not only has young Rubio re-
turned to resume his studies, but he has brought with him
from Mexico a companion, a new student, who this fall
takes up his first years work in an American college.
What a fitting answer to the lies of he jingoes who
but less than three months ago had Mexicans figuratively
at the throats of America; who had our schools boycotted
by our friends from the south whose mouthings would
have had all the friendship Of years torn down by one
Salvador Rubio is quoted by the Associated Press as
saying that he saw nothing in the incident to warrant any
assumption of ill-will on the part Of the United States
toward Mexico, and that, no doubt, is and has been the
view taken Of the affair by we'll informed Mexicans.
This matter of understanding, of goodwill, between
the United States and Mexico is one which we confess
weighs heavily on this particular section of Texas.
We Of the Valley owe it to ourselves, to our Valley.
TO our state and to our nation to promote that feeling Of
friendiiness which is so essential to the growth of the Val
ley and so essential to the growth of Mexico.
First. we must make an honest and patriotic effort to
know our neighbors Of the south better. to know their
land better.
And then. we must tell what we have learned to our
state and to our nation.
Friendship is being strengthened between the two
nations. We can do much to make those bonds still
stronger.

It is not always the cost that makes a dish palatable. but the skill in cooking or combining materials Simple, inexpensive dishes that have the advantage of appetizing combi- nations of flavors are often more popular than expensive dishes thoughtlessly prepared.
 Plain fare does not mean that tempting food cannot be served. The meals can be just as interesting and attra ctive and the family as well nourished when the stews and pot roasts take the place of steaks and chops and simple green replace elab- crate salads.
 Ginger breads and spice cakes are especially acceptable during the cold months and usually are very cheap to make. Apples and dried fruits can be used in numberless ways to make delicious desserts.
 Scalloped codfish with macaroni furnishes much food value at small cost. Served with stewed canned to- matoes. cabbage and carrot salad and Norwegian prune pudding a simple inexpensive meal is provided. Vitamins. mineral salts and calories are supplied in abundance.
