L. F. Boling, secretary and H. E.
Hager, president, of the Mercedes
Chamber of Commerce first started
working on the project of obtaining
a branch of the Cudahy Packing
Company in March of last year. W.
E. Dickerson, director of the indus-
trial relations department of the
Central Power and Light Company
was also instrumental in bringing
the branch to the Valley.
The local chamber of commerce
along with several other Valley
chambers of commerce assisted in
making a survey of the supply of
dairy products in the Valley and
also a survey to determine the pos-
sible supply which might be ob-
tained if a market were afforded.
It was while a personal representa-
tive of the company was looking
over the prospects for a cheese and
butter plant here that the Mercedes
Chamber of Commerce officials and
Mr. Dickerson interested them in a
poultry plant as well, pointing out
that the climate of this section is
ideal for poultry raising.

A Texas Centennial flag was
raised at the Mercedes school Fri-
day morning of last week at a speci-
al ceremony held on the grammar
school campus at 8:20 o’clock.
The program was sponsored by
the Girl Reserves under the direc-
tion of Miss Dorothy Anderson, as-
sisted by the members of the school
band, the Blue Triangle and the Boy
Scouts.
The program was opened by the
band, directed by Wm. O’Hair, play-
ing “America.” This was followed by
a talk “The Meaning Of The Cen-
tennial" given by Miss Betty Cham-
bers, president of the Girl Reserves;
a talk on. “The Texas Flag” given
by Miss Harriett Kidder; presenta-
tion of the Texas flag, donated by
Miss Nita Culwell’s students, by Miss
Lillian Hessel: reveille, by William
Copeland and “The Eyes Of Texas”
played by the school band.

expenditure for labor the following
amounts were spent for materials:
advertising are invited to be present
each night.
An unusual feature of Mr. Stan-
ley’s visit here will be a confidenti-
al service to the individual merchant.
During the day, he is arranging to
devote his time to a study of the
problems of the individual merchant.
In view of the fact that the speak-
er, who bears a national reputation
as an authority on merchandising, is
to be in Mercedes without cost to
our business men, the local chamber
of commerce urges every merchant
and sales-person to attend the lec-
tures. No books or courses will be
sold following this Institute and no
charges are made for individual con-
sultation. The service is a gesture
of good-will toward this city on be-
half of the Dallas Chamber of Com-
merce and the Dallas Wholesale
Merchants Association.

struction work is started thus mak-
ing it possible for producers to con-
tact the manager before the actual
operation of the plant begins.
An educational campaign to assist
in the intensive and immediate de-
velopment of the dairy and poultry
industries in the Valley will be
started immediately by the officials
of the new firm in conjunction
with the Mercedes Chamber of Com-
merce and other chambers of the
Valley.
The First National Bank and the
Hidalgo County Bank and Trust
Company of this city have both
agreed to cooperate with the new
firm in encouraging the develop-
ment of the dairy industry to meet
the demands of the plant which will
soon be operating here.
The announcement of the Cudahy
Company’s decision to locate its
Valley branch in Mercedes was re-
ceived by the Mercedes Chamber of
Commerce Monday afternoon bring-
ing to a successful conclusion a year
of effort on the part of the local
body. The telegram sent by J. W.
McGelligott, vice president of the
Cudahy Company read as follows:
“It has been decided to accept
your offer for location in Mercedes
of a producing plant. Signed con-
tracts will be sent to you this week.
Mr. R. E. Bradley will be in touch
with you tomorrow. Be assured of
our deep appreciation of your
friendly interest and cooperation
We feel sure that benefits that will
accrue to the Valley in general and
Mercedes in particular due to our
entering that field will cement more
The first of a series of programs
on the history of early Masonry in
Texas was presented at a meeting of
the Mercedes Masonic Lodge held in
the Masonic hall here Tuesday night.
Ed B. Olson, junior warden of the
local group, gave a talk on “Early
Masonry In Texas”; H. L. Scott,
worshipful master of the local lodge,
discussed “The Life Of Maribou
Bonapart Lamar,” and Jack Troling-
er of Edinburg, gave a short talk
telling of a recent trip over the San
Jacinto Battle field. At the close of
the program the members went to
the Palm Cafe for refreshments.
The next meeting of the lodge
will be held Tuesday night, Febru-
ary 25.
A Valley wide Masonic meeting
’ill be held in Harlingen, Friday
night, February 21 at which time a
speaker from the Grand Lodge of
Texas will be featured on the pro-
gram. Mercedes Masons will gather
at the local hall at 7:30 o’clock that
night before leaving for the Harlin-
gen meeting. Masons not having
transportation to the Valley-wide
meeting should be at the local lodge
at that time and accommodations
will be provided.

A considerable reduction in opera-
tion costs per acre watered is shown
in Manager C. L. Huff’s annual re-
port of the operation of the Hidalgo
and Cameron Counties Water Con-
trol and Improvement District No.
9, given recently before the new
board of directors of the district.
The report shows that actual op-
eration costs for 1935 were reduced
to $1,785 from the 1934 per acre
costs of $2,044. The total disburse-
ments per acre watered, including
repairs, replacements and improve-
ments were reduced from $2,630 in
1934 to $2,343 in 1935, the report
showed.
Acres Of Water Delivered
Grapefruit hearts placed in a pint
jar or No. 2 plain tin can, covered
with their own juice heated to 170
degrees, sealed, then processed in
hot water for 25 minutes at 165 de-
grees, was the demonstration given
by members of the Worthwhile Home
Demonstration Club to their guests,
at the home of Mrs. H. L. Hansen
Thursday, of last week.
Grapefruit juice was heated to
170 degrees, put in pint bottles, jars
or No. 2 tin cans, and processed for
15 minutes at 170 degrees. Tin cans
were cooled quickly by plunging into
cold water, thereby adding to the
flavor.
No special equipment is necessary,
the demonstrators explained, just a
container large enough to hold suf-
ficient water to cover the seal on the
container in order to process it, and
a thermometer. If one has no ther-
mometer, boil pints 7 minutes and
quarts 10 minutes, demonstrators
stated. A bamboo knife, made by
one of the members, was used for
removing the hearts of grapefruit.
This does the job quicker and breaks
the fruit less than an ordinary knife.
The club members and their
guests enjoyed an all-day meeting
with a covered dish luncheon.
At the business meeting held after
the demonstration, 22 members
pledged two jars each of citrus pro-
ducts for an exhibition to be held in
May or June.
The next meeting of the club will
be held in conjunction with the
Southern Star and Llano Grande
clubs at the Odd Fellows Hall in
Weslaco next Thursday, February
20.' At that time Miss Mattie Wil-
roy, home demonstration agent for
Hidalgo county, will demonstrate
the making of citrus jelly and mar-
malade.

During 1935 draglines operating
on the district’s drainage system, ex-
cavated 252,291.22 cubic yards of
earth in 16.96 miles of drails. The
average cost of this work was $.0339
per cubic yard.
The engineering department of
the district established levels for 47
miles of drain and lines for 17 miles
of drains. This department also
made 187 tract surveys for high
lands, canal rights-of-way, subdivis-
ions, drain rights-of-way and water
table surveys.
Considerable flood control work
was done by district forces during
the past year. During the floods of
June and September 1935, at both
of which times the high water level
at the River Pumping Plant was
five to six-tenths of a foot higher
than any previous record shows, the
district forces patrolled all levees
on the floodways passing through
the district, and also the levees
along the river. J. D. McDonald di-
rected the forces patrolling the flood-
way levees and R. W. Maierhofer
and his crew of two men patrolled
the river levees. In his report, Mr.
Huff praised the work of the district
forces in their efforts to safeguard
the property from floodwaters of the
river.

ciety will present Hayden’s oratorio

Farming In Valley
Is The Ideal Life
Farming in the Rio Grande Valley
is the ideal life, judging by the de-
bate held by members of the local
post of the American Legion follow-
ing the regular business session last
Friday night. Upholding the af-
firmative of the question were C. W.
McVey and R. J. Drysdale, while
Levi Greenwood and R. L. Buell
handled the negative. The decision
of the judges was unanimously in
favor of the affirmative.
March Of Time Issue
To Show At The Capitol
Theatre February 18-19
The March of Time, in its new
tenth issue, showing at the Capitol
theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday,
again turns its camera on three
timely and important subjects—the
country’s most ambitious experi-
ment in regional planning, the TVA,
the recent colonization by the Unit-
ed States of three remote Pacific
Islands, bases for a new air route
to Australia and the loneliest man in
France, “Monsieur de Paris,” heredi-
tary guillotiner of the Republic.
In its TVA episode, March of Time
pictures the whole vast scope of the
project ,beginning with the evacua-
tion of the primitive back-hill farm-
ers of the Clinch River Valley to
make way for the waters of Norris
Dam. The TVA’s major objectives
are shown—-flood control, naviga-
tion and agricultural improvement—
all of which are dwarfed by its “by-
product” of cheap power with which
it proposes to furnish a national
yardstick for measuring electricity
costs.
In full collision with TVA is one
of the nation’s major industries, the
electric power companies. Threat-
ened with the loss of billions in in-
vestments ,these interests march to
the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge
the government’s right to finance,
out of taxes, a business competitive
to that of private, tax-paying capi-
tal. On the court’s ruling depend
tremendous consequences to the en-
tire U.S. economic order.
The March of Time is released
monthly through the RKO Distrib-
uting Company.
