INTELLIGENT COO I‘Lit ATI ON
IS ESSENTIAL
The sooner the people of the Low-
er Rio G raride Valley understand j
that .in order to succeed it is ah- j
Bolutely essential that they shall get |
together unit cooperate in pushing I
every project for the benefit of the j
entire Valley the sooner they will
achieve success. The Valley Grow-
er-.’ Association has asked the farm-
ers to cooperate in plans of tl:e as-
sociation for the growing and mar-
keting of Valley crops. It i« ca y
to see that without cooperation by
all of the Valley farmers thi S j
ciation cannot attain that measure
of success which its authors believe i
is within reach of such tin organiza-
tion. Success for the association j
means success for the entire farm
population of the Valley.
Cooperation in this respect is not
to be supposed to be meant for the
fanners alone. Without the farm-
ers there would be few busines
houses of any importance in any
Valley town. Cooperation of the va-
rious business communities then is
as necessary as cooperation by the
fanners.
Our business men should join the
farmers in maintaining the various
organizations framed fof tne promo- j
tion of the farm interests. It is
just as much the concern of a
Brownsville banker or a Brownsville
merchant that the dairy and cream-
ery projects for this vicinity should
!>e a success as it is of the farmers
themselves it is just as much the
concern of every business man
throughout the Valley as of the far-
mers of their respective vicinities j
that similar projects launched for
the immediate purpose of affording
the farmers a new opening for their
activities and a sure market for their
products snould be a success.
Unless our town population will
take an interest in the affairs of the
farmers they will be largely to
blame if the farm projects do not
succeed and they will be largely re-
sponsible for the losses which the
towns will sustain with the failure
of the farm enterprises.
If is the duty of the town peo-
ple of ai! callings to join the farm-
ers organizations to help maintain
them to take an active and intelli-
gent part in all efforts to promote
file farm interests of the Valley—in
other words to cooperate.
The same principle applies to every
movement for the promotion of the
interests of the Valley whether of
farm or of city. The farm people
mu.-t take an interest in the af-
fairs of the town. They want the
patronage of this town people. They
also must give their patronage to
the town. The farmer that makes
Sears Koebeck's catalogue his daily
guide is doing what he can to hurt
the business community from which
lie wants cooperation in making his
farm operations a success. Sears
Koebeck will not buy our farm or
dairy products.
At the same time when giving co-
operation the farmer and the busi-
ness man should exercise all the in-
telligence he possesses. Blind co-
operation in projects not fully un-
derstood may lead to disaster instead
of success. I)o not be afraid of a
new proposition but don’t cooperate
with any project until you under-
stand it fully. "Make sure that the
motives actuating its promoters are
plain that its method of operation is
fair and honest. Don’t bo afraid to
ask questions. Every member of
any organization should think for
himself nad demand full informa-
tion regarding any project in
which he is asked to put down his
Juurd-e&rued dollars before pledging
himself to its support. And once j
his support is pledged it is still the j
duty of every nicmbei who wishes to
be fair to himself to keep up an ac !
tive interest in the operations of the
organization. See that lae promt t-
rrs and managers stick to ih- lignl
road ant! give the fart ter/ a suusrc*
deal all around. And when you
know that you have an hontv.t cap-
able intelligent and thoroughly ener-
getic and reliable person in charge
then stand by him and urge all of
your neighbors to do likewise. Such
men are not picked up every day.
Th's is what intelligent coopera-
tion means—mutual understanding
and mutual effort. Roth farm and
town must do its part to achieve the
best results.
AMERICAN PLAN HOTEL
COMING BACK
| - It is said that prohibition is grad-
ually forcing the hotels back into the
old American plan of operation. Tra-
velers of fiteen years or more ago re-
call vividly the old American plan
hotel which furnished room and
board for a fixed price and collect
ed the price whether you took your
three meals a day or not. The claim
that the moment your name wan
placed on the register your name
also was put into the hotel kitchen j
| pot and your meals were prepared
i whether you ate them or not wa.
ju.st and fair. The experience ot
the traveling public of later time
may incline most of them to prefer
tin* American style. For since the
reign of the cabaret the cafe and
the grill put the hotel dining room
' out of business the hotels gent rally
have charged as fiMldi for a bare
room as they were wont to charge
for the room and three meals whilt
a la eg! te meals with waiters’ per-
centages htrve made eating an ex-
pensive luxury for most travelers
Jin Ferguson cuttl 1 not carry
Temple his own town which gave i
Mayfield a majority of 2K0 votes
over FertrUson. The result speaks
for Jim all right.
The deliberate wrecking «»f a train I
is nothing It--s than attempted whole-
sale murder. Such deeds of out-
lawry by the rail strikers following
the massacre of miners at Herrin
III. by striking union miners are do- 1
ing great injury to the cause of the I
labor union in the United States. j
The “flexible" tariff proposed ini
the pending high tariff bill will meet j
an inflexible opposition from demo- '
tints in congress.

W OULD COMBINE CITY AND
COUNTi TAX DEPARTMENTS
I
AUSTIN Texas Aug. JO.—Among
the features of the September issue
of the TMunicipalities a maga-
zine published bi-monthly by the
League of Texas municipalities is
an article by Tom Finty Jr. edit-
or of the Dallas Journal. It is tin-
summary of an address delivere 1 b..
.Mr. Finty before the Tenth Annua
Convention of the League of Texas
Municipalities at Waxahachie on the
subject of Consolidating City an
County Covernments. Advanatges
to be gained from such consolidation
are given in part as follows:
“The people in the cities would
be spared of the cost of supporting
two sets of tax officials and the
trouble and annoyance of both. They
would be spared the expense annoy$
ancc and confusion of dealing w; .
two sets of law enforcement offi-
cers and they would get both u i la-
in and without the existing city
boundaries health fire anil police
protection in which they are vitally
interested as well as continuous road
system-. The problem of controll-
ing the development of outside pro-
perties so as to conform to the city’s
plan also would be solved.
“With unified govc rnment the peo-
ple in the suburbs and throughout
the county generally would hi* serv-
ed by a large experienced mobile
police force regularly salaried and
not dependent upon fees a force in-
cluding experienced detectives; by
New York Letter
NKiV YORK August 30.—Le ■; then
lialf the “flivver” owners in New York
are owning and driving the cars they
are duly registered for. Look un the
lirenle numbers and confront them with
the fact and the fifty-five or sixty p»r
cent will shrug their shoulders aid
agree. “One flivver is just like an-
other” they explain. “What’s the dif-
ference' You step up to the curb where
you parked your car and get into one
just like your own ar.d drive it off.
Maybe it's yours and maybe it isn’t.
’A ho cares? ! haven’t noticed my li-
them around everywhere and take ahat-
ever they find." Invest gat.oii sr.ioti^
auto drivers persuaded the detectives
<■••1!>e number fately and couldn't say
offhand whether this is my original car
o not or evt n the one 1 drove las*
week.” The police of the city just dis-
c veted this condition the othir day.
when one of them took in Jacob Lieber-
mun’s cat itecause he left it in front
of a fire hydrant and then objected
to giving it back to him because the
license didn’t appear in his name.
“Flivvers nowadays are ju * like um-
brellas.” he explained. "People leave
that the majority agreed with Mr.
Licberman.

Here is another influence on V.'-il! ■
street and its ramification. which hast’t j
figured in any financial graph I ever saw t
- feminine happiness and comfort out- i
si«i<* of office hours! An evening in a
cold room with a flickering gasligh; |
will throw a wr man worker’s nerves so
out of g- nr that they react disastrously
upon the whole office force next day and
engender an atmosphere of gloont that
penetrates far into the business in hand.
! So declares Walbridge S. Taft managing
•‘firtner of the law office of Henry
W. Tuft and nephew of the Ex-presi-
dent. it isn’t feminine temperament
or !nck of serious ambition he insists
which sometimes makes women !e:.i
stable and constructive workers than
nee it’s landladies and boa:* ling
( houses. Men suffer those things too?
i Surely hut they don’t depend upon them
I for their whole leisure hours of life.
’ That's tbs difference. Air- Taft has
the superior health and sanitary de-
partments of the city; by the large
and capable engineering and school
organizations and by the fire de-
partment; and they would have the
advantage of the city's machinery ■
for regulating public utilities: In j
short the problem/ and needs of tho j
two sets of people while identical j
are not so diverse and disassociated i
as to be met adequately by seperatc j
treatment. The difficulties exper- |
ienced in perfecting thtse arrange- i
ments go to show that unification
rather then mere cooperation is
needed. The suburban and rural
school problems cannot be solved in
the best way without unification.”
