'IN.S0 with decks cleared for

Pearl Harbor or lurking in the
waters nearby, will speed away
from the Island of Oahu between
midnight and dawn Thursday to
engage in the latest phase Of the
United States Nays vast war
games in the Pacific, it was learned
unofficially today.
The vessels, it was reported, will
attempt to contact q scouting con-
tingent believed to be- maneuver'
ing northeast of he Hawaiian
group. At the same time, it will
keep its lines solid for an expected
attack from the west by myth

imposed wartime conditions on
the Pacific islands was only par
TALLY lifted with the arrival here
of Admiral Joseph ]. Reeves, com
mander-in.chief Of the fleet, and
other naval strategists.

The vessels Of the fleet, accord

Alaska, as its points.
Meanwhile the huge air

took off from here last week was
maneuvering somewhere over the
Pacific between here and Mid

northwest, in close touch with
the scattered warships and sub
marines slipping through the

Let's Not Have Another
Bankhead Fiasco

There can be no doubt but that the major part Of
the dissatisfaction expressed by VALLEY cotton grow
es over the workings Of the Bankkead law was
brought about by the peculiar situation Of this ter
ritory In respect to the cotton industry. Valley cot
ton had been planted several weeks before the Bank
head act became law, and this section was harvest
ing cotton before the officials Of the AAA had bare
ly started on the program OF allotments and enforce
ments Of the law.
Had the machinery OF the law been set up and
well oiled BY the time the Valley was harvesting its
cotton crop. there can be no doubt but that much
OF the grief encountered would have been avoided.
NOW comes the potato control law. effective on
December lst Of this year. a season when the Val
leys fall potato crop will be In the harvest. As q
matter Of fact, some part Of the fall potato acreage
has already been planted. and the great bulk will be
planted before the end Of the present month.
II is q simple matter to understand the fears Of
those who remember back to the first days of the
Bankhead enforcement. when they contemplate hav-
ing to 80 through the same thing with this fall po-
tato movement.
AIlctments have not been made as yet. and the
Valley grower who plants fall potatoes is taking the
Valley farmer who planted cotton prior 10 the enact
ment Of the Bankhead lew. 3

expressed It when he wrote Congressman Milton
West urging that the Department Of Agriculture be
not caught mapping on the Valley potato situation
as the department was caught mapping on the Bank
head cotton control act.
The potato control act may be a fine one. It's pro-
visions may be Just what are needed to bring added
profits TO potato growers OF the Valley. But the good
that lies IN the act win be lost to this section unless
the Department OF Agriculture realizes that potatoes
are harvested down here while the rest Of the coun-
try Is under snow ard fee. and takes immediate steps

the Valleys crop swings into the harvest season.

A Good Custom

Members Of Valley Rotary clubs and others who
attended the joint meeting In Monterrey At which
representatives OF all Valley clubs gathered with those
OF Northern Mexico have come home stin further
impressed with the community Of interest that lies
between that section Of Mexico and the Lower rio
Grande Valley.
To be sure, that community Of interest has always
existed. but on both sides OF the border leaders have
not been awake to that interest until the past few
years.
The custom Of exchange visits between member
Of the several service clubs. chambers Of commerce
and other organizations. Is q most amiable one, and
one that should be continued with the years.
Not until Mexico and the United States get to know
each other even better. viii the close cooperation
that should exist be gained. And surely no section
OF the United States Is better fitted both by
geographical location and sympathetic interest to
lead in this movement that viii bring the two nations
closer together.

Diet and Cleanliness
Vital in Typhoid Cure
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Associate.
and Of Hygela, the Health Magazine
BY DE. MORRIS FIsHREIN

Editor. Journal OF the American Medical Association.
and Of HygeIa. the Health Magazine
A person who has typhoid fever must be kept alone
and cared for, preferably. by an experienced nurse.
II It's summertime. the patients room should be
screened to keep out flies.
Because q person with typhoid Is likely to remain
long in bed, he should have a bed with a firm mat
tress. and arrangements must be made to change the
bed linen any time 1t Is soled.
The patient must be bathed at least once q day and his
back and buttocks kept clean to prevent secondary
infections. It is also important 70 see that his
mouth Is kept clean and Is rinsed each time after
food is taken.
There was a time when 1t was thought advisable
to starve typhoid patients. II Is now known that the
condition Is so serious that it breaks down the nu-
triton OF the patient. and. accordingly. d diet Of
from 5000 to $500 calories is provided. so that the pa
tient wiz not lose weight during the course Of the
illness.
There are no drugs that have special virtues In
typhoid fever, and it is not definitely established
that typhoid fever vaccine Is useful In treatment
1t is well established, however. that a vaccine made
OF killed typhoid germs Is OF value in preventing the
disease. This was quite certainly proved during the
World War. Anyone with average intelligence who Is
likely TO be exposed to the danger OF contaminated

against typhoid fever.
In the entire .. 8. army during the World War
there we're only slightly more than 1000 cases Of ty-
phoid fever among something like 100000 enrolled
troops. II the typhoid rate which prevailed during
the Spanish American War had existed, there would
have been approximately . million cases.
1t Is customary to give three injections OF the vac
cine against typhoid fever at Today intervals. al
though the intervals between injections may be short
ened In time OF necessity.
Obviously. the giving Of such vaccines Is the work
OF q physician or or a trained nurse, since the aver
age person cannot inject himself and does under
stand the technic OF preparation. Only rarely do re-
actions OF a serious character follow injection Of or
binary doses Of anti-typhoid vaccine.
II Is reasonable to believe that persistent atten-
ton to water supplies and disposal or sewage. pas
teurization Of milk. education Of the public In n.y.
giene, and control Of typhoid carriers eventually viii
eliminate typhoid fever throughout the civilized
world. In most states means are now available for
proper control OF known carriers. but discovery Of a
carrier demands expect meteorological investigation.
Since no carrier has been found on whom respon-
sibnHty for the Minneapolis outbreak can be pinned
and since water contamination seems to offer q fair
ly adequate explanation. authorities undoubtedly
soon viii have the epidemic completely under control.
Heavy chlorination OF the water supply and closing
