"A recent development has given this investigation

First Birthday of the Samfordyc,

The Samfordyce OIL field Of western Hidalgo and
eastern Starr county viii be a year old in q day or
so. a statement of fact that comes as a sort OF surprise
TO all Valley residents, and illustrates how easy II
is to take things for granted. once we become even
half way used to them.
Eighteen months ago and the Valley had few
scattered oil wells in Starr county, none Of them
heavy producers. On every hand one could get the
opinion that the whole Valley is one big oil pool,
but few had the courage 70 back I'D their mouth con-
victions with actual drilling.
John Woods and Ben King Of Mission followed
tEeir convictions through with the money necessary
TO drill oil wells. brought In one well and then an
other, and drilling operations began on every hand
as the Valley boasted q real honest-to-goodness oil
field.
Monetary benefits Immediately began to accrue to
the entire section. First Mission. McAllen and other
cities close 70 the field began to feel the influx Of
new money. then other Valley communities began
to take on new life as drilling was talked in their
sections and as the ramifications Of the oil business
began TO affect the economic life Of the entire terri
tory.
Refineries have been built and others are con-
templated. A pipeline from the Samfordyce field to
Pert Isabel is in course Of construction. Drilling is
going on In widely separated sections OF the Valley.
New residents by the hundreds have come to the Sec
tion. Owners Of lands in the oil sections who have
desperately held on to their holdings for years have
been financially rewarded. The entire Valley has
felt the impetus Of oil money and oil activity.
For these and many other reasons the entire Sec
ton win be with Mission In spirit. ct least. when the

and o. Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Once the great philosopher Carlyle was asked what
he thought was the height of human happiness. and
he answered:
To scratch the part that itches.-
II you've ever had your back scratched. its very
possible that you1l agree. That's all right, when the
itching is moderate and the scratching is enough to
give you a pleasant and satisfying relief.
But there are times when scratching won't work
when the itching Is more pronounced and proIong-
ed. That's when a doctors attention Is needed and
special treatment required.
Itching is a frequent symptom OF n good many
general diseases like diabetes, uremia, jaundice and
leukemia. Itching Of the skin occurs I'm the overac-
tivity OF the thyroid gland and in pernicious anemia.
II occurs when the bowels are not functioning as
they should. and one Of the most common condi-
items associated with itching is govt.
Various conditions OF hypersensitivity OF the hu-
man body. grouped together under the word aIIerry.
are known to be associated with severe itching, some
times beginning In the roof OF the mouth and also
in the skin. with the frequent development OF bis
tsrs and flebs.
There are some people who itch just because they
are nervous and for no other reason that anybody can
determine. There are, Of course. any number Of
things which will cause itching in just one or two
places on the skin.
II itching is caused BY the bites Of insects or pests
associated with the human body. relief Is brought
about by getting rid OF these pests. For the person
who is representative. relief from itching comes with
the removal Of the substance TO which he Is sensitive.
The worst cases of itching occur among old people.
This type seems to be associated with some change
that has taken place in the skin Of the aged. FIRE.
quently relief may be gained for these people BY the
application Of substances which soften the skin or
which have a special action on nerve endings.
Gouty cases must have treatment for their govt.
Disturbed nervous systems. also. should have special
study or the reasons for the disturbances.
When all OF these studies have been made and all
OF the treatments applied. there viii still remain a
considerable number of cases In which the condition
persists. In these cases the application Of the x-ray
sometimes brings about permanent relief.
