The Valley First = First in the valley

Inc had called a conference OF sew
eral thousand business men and la
Der leaders for Dec. 9.
Subsequently 1t became known
that the meeting had been arranged
in the face Of objections BY high
administration officials in and out
of NRA. This opposition had been
called to the attention CT the White
House, and up to Tuesday some Off
Gals were so sure that the plans for
the meeting would be discarded that
they we're willing to bet on 1t.
One objection voiced BY officials

might provide ia sounding board
for some industrial leaders to eX-

Philco Meets Need
For Better Radios

Forty-nine percent Of the families
IN Texas are still without radios
despite the fact that 733.l28 homes
in the state are radio-equipped. &C
cOrding TO a recently complied
statistical summary. Radio sales
for 1884 in Texas, however, indicate
that the percentage OF non-radio
owning families in its population OF
6.073,000 is rapidly decreasing.
During 1884, more than I08, 400
radio sets were sold in Texas, Of
which $4,000 OF o than Al per-
cent were installed in homes which
were previously without radio facil-
tiles. More than $500 Of these
sets, however. were requirements
Of obsolete equipment with modern
instruments.
The growing interest In better
receiving sets which these figures
indicate, is interpreted by Philco
executives not only as an indication
Of improved buying power, but also
as proof that higher standards of
entertainment and better contact
through short wave reception with
events in all parts Of the world. are
being demanded By an ever-increas-
ing section Of the population.
Another index Of the public in
tereSt in radio is the fact that TO
meet the public's demand for high
quality sets, 1000 workers were re-
Gently added to the staff Of the
manufacturing plant in Philadelphia
where Philco radios are made. This
brings the total number OF workers
up to over 10000.

REBEL FEARS
ON INCREASE
Mexico Afraid Band OF
Armed Men to Renew
Raid on Towns

NOGALES, Sonora, Mex. Nov. 8.
F)-The possibility Of further blood
shed as the result of rebel activities
caused anxiety Wedn esday in
southern Sonora where one soldier
was reported killed in a pitched
battle between insurgents and fed
erals.
Unconfirmed reports Of the en-
gagement reaching this border city
said six federal soldiers had been
wounded in the clash, which took
place Monday, and that one Of them
died Tuesday night.
Six hundred rebels, $50 of whom
repeatedly were equipped with Amer
ican-made machine guns. we're said
to have participated in the battle.
Rebel troops in the Ciudad Obre-
gon region were reported to have
resisted an airplane and infantry
attack Monday. One Of the planes
was reported to have had Is bullet
holes in its fuselage when it re-
turned to Ciudad Oregon, and the
other was said to have been forced
down, its oil line cut by a bullet.
There was much speculation over
the possibility that rebels will re-
new their attacks as a result Of the
governments announcement Tues
day in Mexico City that laws reg
ulating religious worship and i'm
planting socialistic education will be
strictly enforced.
Closing Of the churches and teach
ing of socialism in the schools of
Mexico have drawn the fire Of rebel
leaders, who have circulated mani
festoes attacking these two actions
of the government.

RESET'TLEMENT
LOANS PUSHED
SimPlified Forms Are
Received to Aid
Growers
Especial to The Herald)

DONNA, Nov. g. The ReSettle-
ment Administration loan program
for the Valley was being expedited
this week following receipt of new
and more simplified forms, accord
ing to j. w. Evans, district super
visor. who stated from his office
here Wednesday that intake pro-
cedure would be Speeded up so that
application blanks could oe acted
upon promptly.
Attention is invited to the fact"
stated Evans, that the Valley is
the first section Of Texas to receive
Resettlement loans. There has been
unavoidable delay due to the fact
that many Of the original forms
were unsuited to local conditions,
but new forms are here and we an
ticipate no further delay in handling
applications. Z. B. Patterson of
Uvalde and (. B. Miller, Austin,
district supervisor, have been assist
ing NE in overcoming a number Of
unforeseen obstacles.
We are not making citrus loans,
as SUCH" Evans pointed out. I'VE
deal only with farm people who
have been denied credit from other
lending agencies, notably the Credit
Production association or other
federal agencies. We are concerned
particularly with farmers who have
been on relief. are OF relief, or who
are threatened with a relief status,
and who are anxious TO regain their
independence through advances Of
credit.
The credibility OF the farmer Is
Of vital Importance. He must be a
good moral risk and appreciate the
fact that we IN extending him aid
that he cannot get any other place.
and that we are expecting him to
repay his loan. Such a farmer must
be willing to plan his farming
operations in such a way as to
assure as far as possible at least a
subsistence living from his place.
That means that he must plan his
farming work in a way to safeguard
himself and family from want. He
must keep chickens, a Gov and have
a garden, where it is practicable,
and be willing TO have his farming
operations supervised by the Re-
settlement Administration.
Persons expecting to file appli-
cations for loans should do SO
through the county supervisor or
make application through various
chambers of commerce in the Valley
who in most cases can tell the APP
plicant whether he is eligible for a
loan or not. A. G. Clark, who has
an office on the southwest corner
Of the square in Edinburg Is county
supervisor for Hidalgo and Starr
counties. w. L. Johnson, county
supervisor of Cameron and Willacy
counties, has an office in the
chamber OF commerce in San Ben
ito. He has an assistant, j. r.
Crane, who has an office in the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce.
Miss Jimmie Morgan. Edinburg, Is
home supervisor for the Valley, as
sisting rehabilitation families in
their domestic problems.
I'VE appreciate the cooperation OF
chambers Of commerce and the pa
thence of applicants for loans. We
assure all such that we are making
every effort to handle applications
as rapidly as possible, but we urge
applicants to contact county super
visors, rather than the district Of
flee here" Evans stated.

Brands Of
Citrus Fruits
Are Registered
fRy The Assoclated Pressl

HARLINGEN, Nov. Ga total Of
1872 brands used on Valley citrus
fruits have been registered with
the state department of agriculture
by So shippers. according to Hart
Il. Longino, supervisor OF the Texas
Federal Inspection Service.
Various firms may use more than
one trade mark TO designate va
rious grades OF fruit. Thus a firm
may have a top brand. the minimum
requirements Of which are those of U.
S. No. | standard grade. When the
firm registers this brand stating the
minimum requirements it is under
stood that U. S. No. l fruit is in
the container.
Only IL u. S. No. / brands are
listed. most Of the brands registered
representing u. S. combination
grade part No. / and part No. %.
Each unit Of the various co-ops
has its own brands, one organiza-
ton registering as many as nine
different brands.
Many Of the brands are obvious
variations OF the well-known Cali
fornia Sun-Kist trademark being
sunny this and sunny that ad
finitum. Strangely enough most Of
the names have nothing about
them to suggest where the fruit Is
from, an occasional brand using
the mann Texas in some form
casually deiormed). Some brands
are named after children Of ship
pers and some after the shipper Or
grower himself. And as for being
sweet, the list Of trademarks is
simply saccharine with variations
Of the word sweet which may or
may not explain also why the fruit
is "kist" in 50 many different ways
