BUSHMAN'S SON
JEERS At SALE

NEW YORK, March 13 (U.SO
Francis x. Bushman, former movie
star, may have offered himself as
a husband to the highest bidder,
but his son, Francis x, jr., doesn't
think he'd be bargain at any
price.
That sounded, a bit tough on
Dad" and Junior, playing today
in vaudeville in Newark, quail
fled it:
"The average movie actor or
stage star is no bargain to
nonprofessiOnal. NOnprOfessiOn'
al wives could never hope to
understand the whims and tenn
permanent of a leading man.
"Of course, Dads not such
bad skate. It's true, he's domi-
nant, and jealous, and wants
his own way. But the right
woman could handle him with
ease. However, 1 think it was
very unwise of Dad to make
that statement. He's spent some
thing between six and nine mil:
lion dollars, and by now he
ought to be sated with the good
things of life."

Valley Men on Valley Works

Unemployment in the Valley In proportion to the
population is probably less than in any section Of the
United States.
Farming comnunitie .om the very nature of things.
Will not have the proportionate number of jobless as will
the larger cities and industrial centers.
Farmers may be up against it for money. but they are
not listed among the unemployed. The farmers hard
luck never comes from lack of work, no indeed. The hard
luck the farmer has is in getting something for the prod
net Of his work.
Probably the average farmer in the United States
works harder during times Of stress and depression than
ne does during good times. He tries to make his every eff
fort count. He tries to put his labor along lines that will
return at least some profit.
Because farmers are not listed among the unemploy-
ed. however. is no reason for denying them the oppor-
tunity Of lettering themselves financially and Of tiding
themselves over slack periods by taking their places in the
ranks when public improvements of any kind are under
construction.
1t viii probably be months before work begins on
the Brownsville or any other federal building in the Valley.
When that work does start, we sincerely hope that
the successful contractors viii give Valley labor the pre-
ference.
Many a farmer in the Valley today would be glad Of
the opportunity of filling a depleted pocketbook. Many
another resident Of the Valley, temporarily out of employ
ment. would welcome the same chance.
Our contractors who have the giving Of jobs have an
opportunity to help Valley people.

Texas Rail Net Income Shrinks

There is a rate increase argument on in Washington
with interstate commerce commissioners as the judges. A
reminder that the Texas railroad commission reported the
net operating income of Texas railroads for the five
month period ending May l was $3,243,879, a decrease
of 81, 644,O9O or 1854 per cent compared with the cor
responding period last year. 1t appears that the buses
and the freight truckers are doing business on the high
ways of grand old Texas and that the air line transporta-
ton companies are taking their toll from the passenger
business Of the rail lines.
