THE BOYS

Small wonder when you stop to think, that so many
successful men of today in various lines of endeavor.
recall with pleasure that their first business experience
was gained by carrying a newspaper route.
In this work they had the opportunity for an exper-
fence that in many instances opened the way 20 later
success in larger work.
Newspaper carrier boys who satisfactorily meet the
requirements of that work and who learn all that can
be learned about developing of a good personality and
sticking to right business principles have taken a long
step toward later success in any line they may choose
to enter.
When a carrier retains his route for any considerable
length Of time it is an indication that he is u doing his
work well and that the customers on his route are being
satisfactorily served.
Even a few complaints from customers on the route
Of any carrier places his job in jeopardy, for the carrier
is the final link between the publisher and the subscri-
Der and delivery of the paper must be assured, else all
the effort that has gone before is wasted.
The carrier is Also in a highly competitive field, for
there are always other boys waiting for each Of the
routes and it is not only by giving good service to his
customers that any carrier can hope to continue long
on the job.
Thus il is that the newspaper carrier Is in reality a
member Of a carefully selected group of boys, chosen
for their %promptness in making deliveries, their knack
of making friends of their customers, their neatness of
appearance as they 60 about their work, their accuracy
in keeping their accounts properly and making collec-
lions regularly, and their craftsmanship in holding pres
ent customers and gaining new ones.
The Herald regards itself as fortunate in having such
an all-round good bunch of carrier boys, and invites the
cooperation and interest Of the parents Of these boys,
in helping us to develop them into the best possible men,

Choice Narrowed

In a letter to Author Hagedorn.
Baker discloses that his choice of
commanding general of the A. E. F.
narrowed down to Pershing and
Wood
Baker asserted that at no time
did President Woodrow Wilson in
t1uence his decision against Wood.
During the war, Woods friends felt
that Wilson was prejudiced against
him.
Baker credits Wood with the
original suggestion for the selective
draft.
Before the idea occurred to me, !"
he wrote, 'it had occurred to Cen
eral Wood, carefully was studied by
him and was transmitted to Gen
eral Hugh L. Scott, the chief of
staff, who submitted it to me and
supported it with General Woods
arguments in its favor. This seems
to me to have been a great contri-
button by General Wood"
The biography reveals. however,
that Wood entertained no great adj
miration for Baker, and held him
responsible for the long delay be-
tween the declaration of war and
Americas effective participation
overseas.

Leonard Wood Biography
Relates Refusal for Serv-
ice in France.

BIZ Scripps-Hoio0rd Newspaper AHiGnce
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The
World war is fought all over again
in the biography of Major General
Leonard Wood just published by
Harper and Brothers.
General Pershing is pictured as
military prima donna who would
brook no rivalry and is credited with
the decision of the war department
to detach Wood from command of
his division just as it was sailing for
France.
This, according to Herman Hage-
dorm, General Woods biographer,
broke his heart. The blow was not
softened when Secretary of War
Newton D. Baker told him that
Pershing did not want him in France.
1t was Wood, as chief of staff who
gave Pershing command of the
American expedition into Mexico
when the United States chased
Francisco Villa.
Quote Baker Policy
Baker, having selected Pershing
as commander-in-chief of the
american expeditionary forces, is
quoted as telling Wood that he had
adopted fixed policy of support
ing Pershing land I must support
him or relieve him"
Il mean to support him." Baker
added.
Then, am to take it you are
informing me officially that Cen
eral Pershing does not desire me to
serve in France" Wood said to
Baker, according to his notes of the
conference written immediately
thereafter.
yes" Baker replied, you may
take 1t as an official statement.
General Pershing most positively
does not want you in France: and
frankly, General Wood, must state
that if I were commanding general
IN France I should not want you, as
L fear you would not be subor-
dinate."

Tempered Optimism

Optimism, tempered with a strong note of canton
seems to be the prevalent idea of the times as expressed
by those most conversant with the citrus fruit deal of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley for 1931-1932.
T. M. Melden, sales manager of the Texas Citrus
Fruit Growers Exchange, and Frank Hall, Valley manager
for the California Vegetable Union, sales agent of the
Rio Grande Valley Citrus Growers association, have both
recently returned from a survey Of the markets, and have
both been quoted in the public print on the citrus deal.
A marked favorable demand for Texas citrus fruit in
the markets of the north is noted by both sales agencies,
a most favorable sign of the times, although not an unex-
pected sign of the times. Tastes in the north differ not a
whit from tastes in the south, and we of the Valley know
just as well as any northern epicure knows that : Valley
grapefruit is superior in taste to grapefruit produced any,
where else on the globe.
During the coming season, as in seasons past. the
quality of the fruit shipped from the Valley bids fair to
prove the determining factor in its sale.
By quality we assume that both Mr.. Melden and Mr.
Hall mean the appearance of the fruit as it comes into
the hands of the consumer. There is no Disgusting the
fact that fruit shipped from the Valley in seasons gone by
has failed to live up to the standard set by both Florida
and California in this matter of exterior appearance.
just last year, at the Valley Fair, residents of this
section were given the opportunity of seeing Valley fruit
side by side with fruit from other sections. We hate to
admit it, but the odds of appearance were all on the side
of the fruit from the other sections.
Not that we have not taken rapid strides forward in
this matter of quality fruit. We have, and we are taking
further steps every season. Our growers have become
educated to the vital need of appearance Of fruit if that
fruit is to be sold on quality markets, and more and more
efforts to improve that appearance are being made.
Orchards are being sprayed that have never been spray
ed before.
In the packing plants themselves we find improved
packing machinery and improved methods of packing
are in vogue. W. are learning our business, and learning
it well.
These men who have toured the markets of the
country are not so optimistic regarding chances for bump
er prices for a bumper crop. On the other hand they do
not seem to feel that extremely low prices may be ex-
pected. OF course, the happy medium Of an average price
will please both growers and shippers, and if due care is
taken in the grade and pack it would seem that an aver
age price may be expected.
All in all, we are justified in hoping for a good season
and for a profitable season.

Daily Health
Talk

AddiSon's disease Is a condition
affecting the adrenal glar-ds, two
small bodies which lie Just above
the kidneys. AS a result Of the
breaking down or degeneration OF
these glands. TIN secretion OF the
glandular structures Is not pro-
vided to the body. One OF the
most prominent symptoms OF the
disease Is a gradual bronzing OF
the skin. but there are cases IN
which the characteristic signs and
symptoms are not easily apparent
and which represent lessened func-
ton Of the gland rather than COM
plete loss of action.
The most common cause is tu-
berculous infection OF the glands,
usually secondary to tuberculosis,
elsewhere in the body. However,
there are other cases in which
ANGER may destroy the tissue. and
still others in which glands are
not found grossly affected, yet the
function apparently Is absent.
There seem to be cases In which
the loss Of function Of the gland
results from interference with its
nerve supply.
The bronzing Of the skin in this
condition Is the most apparent
symptom. 1t may involve not only
the skin but the mucou mem
branes. However. the great weak
ness Of the person affected Is the
most serious symptom. People who
have this disease r always tired;
the muscles become quickly ex-
hausted. Indeed. the patients be-
