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 communtie ON the very nature of things.
WIN not have the proporlicnate 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 mas is ia 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
he does during good times. He tries to make his every ef-
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 will 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 will 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.

One OF the most common and at

serious conditions confronting the
medical profession today Is the
control or the failing heart OF men
at middle age.

OF special interest Is that fact that
the condition seems 10 be preva-

everyone knows, lead extremeniy
strenuous lives and carry mental
burdens Of vast numbers Of people.
The increase In heart disease Is
revealed In the statistics OF large
insurance companies as well as IN
the government reports. Whereas
111.2 persons out OF every 100000
died from heart disease in 1910, the
number was leo In 1924. IN 1929

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,S79, a decrease
of ST, ga. O90 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 t~ranspcrta-
ton companies are taking their toll from the passenger
business of the rail lines.

sleep represents a vicious circle.
