Valley Part In
Centennial Is
Urged by Judge


EDINBURG, May 81. Whole
hearted approval has been given
plans for a Valley products exhibit
at the Centennial Exposition in
Dallas next year by County Judge
Ewing.
Il believe that q citrus display
demonstrating the kinds and varie-
ties Of citrus fruit. together with
the by-products. raised in this
county should receive particular in
terest In making displays for the
county" Judge Ewing said.
"Of course" he explained. "all
of the other farm products Of the
county. such as broom corn, corn,
cotton and vegetables OF the coun-
ty should have their particular part
IN the display"
Judge Ewing detailed the action
he thought Hidalgo county residents
should take in assisting in the cele-
bration OF the Texas Centennial.
He expressed. as his opinion. that
a countrywide committee should be
chosen TO contact various civic or
CARNATIONS Of the county. Later,
he suggested. the municipalities
should be contacted with the idea
of securing enough funds to see
that the county Is properly and
adequately represented at the Cen
tennial.
NO doubt" he pointed out, ian
exhibit Of this kind. adequate to
represent the county. will cost a
neat sum Of money. but II sufficient
countrywide enthusiasm can be
aroused. it should not be so very
heavy on any n community in the
country.
1T Is my opinion" Judge Ewing
concluded. that the success Of all
of this will be determined upon the
proper selection Of a committee and
the person chosen to design the ex-
hibit. which plan, II gotten UP ahead
OF time. might go far toward promot-
ing the proposition"

o prevent federal officials from
ringing criminal or civil proceed

The petition set forth that in

My two bales Of which were not
xempt from taxation, and at a
otal cost Of $770 to himself col
ected $62.90 processing tax which

could voice their sentiments, Moth
err Benchley would be honored in
deed. She has proved that kindness
and gentleness in dealing with
wild" animals brings response In
kind. Mrs. Benchley can do with
her widest children" what none
Of her two dozen or so male assist
ants can do.
Six Of her helpers once fought a
ferocious chimpanzee that had es-
capped from her municipal ZOO,
welding clubs for nearly half an
hour. Mother Benchley saw 1t. and
came a-trotting.
"Tck-tck-tck!" she CLICKED a
reprimand at the men. then took
the snarling. frightened beast by
the hand and led IL back into its
cage as If ii were a little child.
During the past winter. which
has been marked by some cold
snaps and damp spells. some OF
/ Mother Benchley's children requir-
ed special attention. AS in any
family, sore Threats and other all
ments develop. But mother knows
what to do.
Speed. the great Galapagos tor
toise who was a youngster back in
the days OF George Washington
and before, once became Ill with q
sore throat. Mother rubbed his
wrinkled old adams apple with
ointment. gave him a dose Of cas-
tor oil, and he recovered. Harm
less as a kitten, he follows Mother
Benchley around begging for It'd
bits OF food.
Brings Baby Kangaroo Around
A baby kangaroo in her ZOO be-
came i'll one time. and its own
mother kicked ii out of its mar
supial pouch. IL would surely have
died. But Mrs. Benchley put it into
a big clothes basket with blankets
and a hot water bottle and nursed
1t back to health. Everywhere the
zoo keeper went for nearly a month
downtown shopping. visiting TO
neighbors, everywhere-She carried
the Australian baby along in his
hamper, just as she might have
carried her own son.
Mickey tapir, a peculiar half-ton
beast with a nose that suggests
both elephant and hog. has Moth
er Benchley's personal attention
every day. Mother Benchley cooks
Mickey's breakfast a bushel or SO
Of potatoes, and some cCfeaD and
serves 1t daily, allowing no assist
ant to aid her. She and Mickey are
personal friends.
When Maggie and Jiggs. the low
ing. happy orang-outang honey
mooners in her zoo. become angry
or upset, Mother BNIhley steps
into the cage TO settle family quar-
relS.
All day every day IT'S something
like that. The zebraS. the penguins,
the gorillas. the sea lions. the
birds, the snakes. all have a pro-
blem that requires tact and
strength. Mrs. Benohley supplies
both, has done so admirably since
stepping into the ZOO keepers Job
temporarily, ten years ago. 1t is
high time. the San Diegans say,
that due Mothers day honors be
paid to her.

of Julius Garfinckel & Co., Peoples

he is especially interested in clothing

said the Industries would appreciate
donations of cast-off goods from stores
of every kind. The bags also have
been placed in many Government de-
partments, as well as thousands Of

being returned by truck, filled with
articles which will be renewed and

Drive Closes Soon.
Goodwill's campaign for funds Is
scheduled to close Wednesday with
a luncheon meeting at the Press Club,
to which all Washingtonians who have
given to the drive will be invited.
Special speakers are being arranged
for the meeting, at which the final
reports will be given on the cam
paign. Col. Tufts said:
I'VE are sure the campaign for
$15,520 will be successful, and we want
those citizens who have aided in es-
tablishing the Industries here to get
the knowledge first hand that the
charity which they have pioneered
in is successful. We want them to
know that Goodwill appreciates their
support, that it is their own charity,
and that 1t plans to give full account
of its stewardship"
Goodwill hopes to pay more than
$4,000 during the coming year in
salaries to men and women who
otherwise would be on relief rolls be-
cause of age or physical handicaps.
In turn, the goods which these men
ana women make usable again will be
sold at low prices, thereby benefiting
hundreds of other Washington poor
people. Most Of the money collected
during the campaign will be spent for
tools and equipment for the shop
wherein the men and women are en-
ployed.

A third truck was added to the

to distribute and call for goodwill
bags at the homes and stores where
they are filed with cast-off articles to

During the past week q second re-

Fifth street, has been opened at

continue to come in for repair by
the so-called "unemployable" men

this charity to earn their living and
at the same time rehabilitate their
self-respect.
Several of the city's stores already
