HIDALGO COUNTY AND ITS
PROPOSED ROAD
The news that a movement has
inaugurated in Hidalgo county
which has for its purpose the call-
ing of an election tc vote on a bond
issue of one and a quarter million
dollars for goo 1 roads is net only
cncourging f*om a read building
standpoint but is also indicative of
the optimism with which the people
of Hidalgo county view th i future
of their county.
v. TV proposal is to build a road
■cross the southern qntl of tho coun-
ty which hrill connect at the Came-
: ren* -county line with the highway
now under construction in.this coun-
ty. hnd which will extend west to
the SWrr. county line and north to
Edinburg to a connection with the j
state highway now being built to
t hPrt>ofcr'codnty HneT The people
of^both Cempron and Hidlago cmi*'
ti# havi lon*g looked forward to a
first class highway from Browns-
vi|t« to Mission and Rio Grande City
which would touch every important
tow® and hamlet in the two coun-
ts - ' F
A million and a quarter dollars in
bonds by the county of Hidalgo
would mean two dnd a half million
dollars expended on the work as
state and federal aid in the projeet
is reasonably sure.
Goods roads threading every part
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley will
be one of the greatest factors in the
upbuilding of this favored section.
SMALL CONCERN
A Washington state town marshal
i» 'ery much concerned over the fact
that he can find no laws which he
may bring into use to prevent wo-
men wearing niea’s shirt*. men’s
paste and . other articles of clothing
commonly used by men.
The Washington man should not
let this vitorrjl him* even if there wor»
such laws. The wotr.fn are pretty
likely to wear just what they want
to wear town marshal or no tnw«
marshal. The audacity of the thing
anyway. The very idea-r A mere
man to spend his time trying to find
s wsy to prevent a woman wearing
pants.
But seriously why shouldn’t wo-
men wear trousers and shirts on oc-
casion? The Washington women are
not wearing them for display. More
than likely they use them in “rough-
ing It” in the country on cross coun-
try auto trips hunting and in other
ways out of doors. They are more
comfortable than cumbersome dress-
es. Let a man don dresses and try
to crawl through a barb wire fence.
He will get some idea then of what
the out-of-doors woman has to con-
tend with when wearing dresses.

CLEMENCEAU AGAIN
r* (New York Times)
The former premier of France has
the faculty invaluable to a public
man. of always being interesting. He
piques*curiosity by making the people
wonder what he is going to do next.
Clemenceau’s speech at St. Hermin**
bis birthplace where stands the bold
and original'monument in commem-
oration of his part in the war h»«'
left France puzzled. Does it mean
that the Tiger is to leap back into
the political combat? Or are his
words merely the utterance of a de-
tached sage *ivinfr hi« finnl advic*
to his countrymen and pointing oui
to them the one path of safety ri*
the future?
The speech itself it must be con-
fessed was so orphic that it might
lend itself *> either interpretation
| On one point however there can oe*
no doubt. In Clcmenceau’s opinion
the time has come when he can turn
upon his enemies. For two years he
has been silent under their attacks.
! They defeated him for the presiden-
cy- They accused him of making too
“soft” a peice with Germany. They
destroyed for the time being his po-
pularity in France by charging him
with having neglected her security.
Now it is his turn to reproach those
who expelled him f:.om power. They
today constitute the government
but what have they dono with the
treaty which they declared he had
made too weak? They have further
t weakened it by failing to enforce it.
Clemencenu spoke of one Drovision
after another which has been impair-
ed or allowed to lapse.
In this he might seem to be mere-
ly following the lines along which
ex-President Poincare has been at-
tacking the existing government.
The theme is the same; mrny of the
details are identical. As to what
Poincare intended there was little
concealment. He was leading a poli-
tical movement to overthrow Briand.
And two or three months ago it was
generally believed in France that he
would succeed. It wu thought to
be only a question of time and a

T. The Herald:
I have read with more than ordin-
ary interest the editorial entitled
“Switching of Cotton’’ which appear- j
ed in your issue of the 6th instant.
In my judgement your position in
opposition to any change in the va-
rieties of cotton at present produc-
ed in the Valley section is wed tak-
en. I fear however that the author
of the editorial in question was la-
boring under some misapprehension
as to the purpose of the conference
of cotton growers held in Corpus
Christi last Saturday.
This association has at no time ad-
vocated uor does it now advocate
any particular variety or varieties of
cotton for the Gulf coast country of
Texas. The primary purpose of the
campaign which it has been conduct-
ing for more thaii a year has been to
improve the character of cotton pro-
duced in its territory leaving entire-
ly to those best qualified by exper-
ience to determine the particular
type of cotton best suited for each
locality.
mere is an important (inference
between what is known as “Iona
staple cotton” and “staple cotton”!
The Association’s purpose is to in-
duce the cotton growers of its ter- j
ritor.v to grow sonfething besides
“just cotton.” It is our understand
ing that the special conditions exist-
ing in the Valley section aV-e fnv- i
ornbie to the production of long f
staple cotton but I doubt if there is
another locality within the twenty
counties covered by the Associa-
tion’s activities where long staple I
can be profitably and successfully-
produced. At any rate this seems to
be the opinion of qualified observ-A
ers.
In the black land belt within a ra-!
ius of fifty miles of Corpus Christ i
i»nd in the fins cotton producing sec- i
tions in the vicinity of Refugio Vie- j
toria Calhoun Jackson and Whart-
on Counties conditions appear to be
ideal for the production of “staple
cotton.” You will understand of
course that cotton commonly known
as “long staple” has a staple which
measures 1 1-4 inches or better |
while the staple of what is known as j
“staple cotton” measures from 1 1-16
to 1 1-4 inches.
Thus you will see that there is no
foundation for the assumption that
the cotton campaign being conduct- i
’be this Assoc at Wrf is predicated upon j
any idqaof ujilu* jpjff tjMUKUPH P’«n’*
ers of the Valley section to “switch’”
from present varieties.
As a matter of fact this
lion hasj made and will make no re-
commendations as to particular varie-
ties. Our chief purpose is to induce
the cotton growers of each locality
to plant such varieties considering
their peculiar local conditions as
will yield best returns leaving to
the authorities of the United States
Department of Agriculture ami th‘
State A. & M. College the respond —
bility of recommending the particular
varieties.
.....
in* point to me wnoie matter is
that if Durango long staple is the
best variety for the Valley section
the cotton growers of that locality
should plant it to the exclusion of a!!
other varieties.. By means of such a
program they will achieve quantity
production on a large scale which
will not only make it easy to obtain
proper ginning but will unquestion-
ably result in obtaining higher prices
through quantity production than if !
they produced comparatively small
lots of several different varieties.
Summed up in a word the purpose
which this association is endeavor- j
ing to serve i$ to increase the wealth
production of its territory by per- *
snading the cotton farmers to plant
such varieties considering their own
local conditions as will yield them
the highest possible money returns. J

DO YOU wish to know how thousands and thousands
of women have gone thru motherhood without
knowing some of the pains and discomforts incident
to childbirth? Listen to this:
' Motherhood creates almost a new
state of being for a woman.
As a result new nerves those here-
tofore restful and quiescent spring
into activity they cry out they tingle
they bum in their unrest.
The network of nerves across the
abdomen the loins the back and
other parts now become super sensi
five. All these nerves are being called
on to perform unusual duties.
Tfiese nerves must he pacified
and comforted; must he put in
condition for the crisis that is
pending.
If these nerves arc not soothed and
quieted they may set up aggravated
nerve tension increasing in severity
front month to month sometimes
even culminating in a nervous paraly-
sisoffheback and limbs. This leaves
the mother-to-be in a condition where
she is unable fully to meet the test
when the climax of maternity arr.ves.
Mother's Friend is used externally
as a massage; and its purpose thru
daily use. is to gradually gently and
effectively relax the muscles and
nerves involved in the function of
child-bearing; to make the skin soft
pliable and elastic so that it may
expand easily and naturally as the
abdominal parts enlarge thereby re-
lieving the tension and strain on these
muscles and nerve* of the otherwise
severe distension before delivery.
