DOING THINGS
“Nothing succeeds like success" ia
a trite old saying and the growth of
the city of Harlingen proves its
truth.
Six years ago Harlingen was gen-
erally referred to as a “dead burg”
but its growth within the past four
years proves that it was not dead—
merely hibernating.
Six years ago the streets of Har-
lingen were veritable seas of mud af-
ter every heavy rain; today its pav-
ed streets are the pride of every res-
ident of the Harlingen section and
the beautification plans carried out
by property owners will soon trans-
form it into one of the most beau-
tiful cities in the Valley.
As an industrial center the lit-
tle city is rapidly forging to the
front. The new citrus packing plant
will be ready for operation in a few
days and practically all citrus mar-
keted in the Valley will pass through
the plant. A canning plant is being
erected; a large packing and cold
storage plant is being installed in the
old government ice plant and the
agricultural development of the Har-
lingen section is in itself tangible
evidence that prosperity has come
to stay in that section of the Valley.
MUSICAL ADVANCEMENT
The experiment carried out by
the Treble Clef club to interest the
people of Brownsville in grand opera J
proved highly successful—in fact its |
success surpassed all anticipations i
Bownsville people have shown ;
their interest in this class of music j
and that interest should not be per-
mitted to wane.
At a meeting of the Treble Clef
club to be held tomorrow the mem-
bers will discuss plans to make mu-
sical recitals of this character a reg-
ular monthly event. As these music-
al recitals are purely educational an
attempt will be made to secure the
high school auditorium which would
accommodate a larger audience than
the Chamber of Commerce assembly
room and would give more people
an opportunity to enjoy them.
The efforts of the Treble Cleb club
to create more interest In Browns-
ville in this class of music should re-
cieve the unstinted support of the
city. Brownsville’s isolation prevents
its music lovers from epjoying the
privilege of hearing many musical
artists such as visit cities of this
class in the more populous areas of
the country and any movement
which will tend to popularize high
class music in Brownsville is deserv-
ing of support.
Peddy supporters are flooding the
state with circulars and literature
advertising is carried in many of
the movie houses “Peddy pencils”
wil be sent to the voters of the state
and scores of speakers including
Barry Miller and James E. Fergu-
son will stump the state during the
remainder of the campaign for the
republican candidate. Who is pay-
ing the bills? Peddy is said to be
a “young lawyer” and young law-
yers arc not in the habit of having
bank accounts sufficient to meet
such expenses as are being incurred
in the Peddy campaign. Advertising
on the big scale the Peddy campaign
managers have adopted costs real
money—and there are not many
philanthropists who invest in cam-
paign funds.
At a special meeting of the Hidal-
go eounty commissioners’ court last
week (750 was appropriated to as-
dsl in defraying the costs of com-
pleting the survey by the Reclama-
tion Service which will be the basis
for proposed legislation at the next

session. The Valley must -have this
survey and special legislation if it
hopes to secure adequate flood pro-
tection for the entire Valley and if
funds are still lacking to secure the
survey they should be raised imme-
diately. The Valley cannot afford
to wait until another flood arouses
it to action.
The new highways have now put
the county in the fore-front of the I
fruit and vegetable producing dis-1
tricts. Thousands of acres of new
orchards and vegetable gardens as
well as general agricultural lands
have been opened to production and
the marketing of the county’s pro-
ducts has not only been rendered
more expeditious but has been great-
ly reduced in cost. The people of
Polk county are now numbered
among the most enthusiastic advo-
cates of good roads in the country.
Hon. George Harvey American
ambassador to England has again se-
cured a place in the spotlight. His
recent utterance at an address be-
fore the Authors* club in London to
the effect that women have no souls
is about on par with other remarks
which have called forth the scathing
criticism of the international press.
London papers are now wondering
whether Harvey is a diplomatic
tragedy or merely a comedy sketch.
“Is Mayfield’s name going on the
ballot?” is the question asked the
newspaperman a score of times each
day. No definite answer can be giv-
en until an official ballot has been
secured—and then they may enjoin
the voter from voting it.
Judging from public expression*
concerning the “war of injunctions"
started by the Peddy supporter*
there are about half a million vot-
ers in Texas who are guilty of con-
tempt of court.

BAD INDUSTRIAL POLICY
t Itcaumout Kuterprise i
John L. Lewis president of the I'lited
Mine Workers of America discussing
the coal settlement in the American
Fereratjonist. has this to say:
"It iguored arbitration in any form or
under any guise. And when the anthra-
cite agreement was negotiated it was
upo:• the same terms. Arbitration as a
means of settlement of industrial dis-
putes is now dead as far as the coul
mining industry is concerned and col-
lective bargaining has been saved and
retained."
Mr. Lewis might better have left it all
unsaid. It sounds a bh like boasting and
lie might profitably remember that most
people who are not members of labor
organizations have u deep-seated liking
for the idea of arbitration whether the
matter in dispute is of an industrial or
un international nature.
When there is collective bargaining
between labor aid capital or between
nations the stronger usually wins and
justice may be no fidor in the settle-
ment. When there is arbitration war
is at least avoided.
The nation desires industrial peace and
means to have it. Collective bargaining
has not brought it—yet. Mr. Lewis
would be wiser were he to refrain from
such sweeping statements at this par-
ticular time when most men are having
trouble filling their coal bins and are
convinced that our prevent methods of
settling industrial dispute* might he im-
proved U|mn.
A LESSON IN DAIRYING
(Houston Chronicle.t
The Chronicle has persistently argued
in its editorial columns and fbrotig'n the
medium of articles by intelligent cor- .
respnodents that the business of dairying
should be established in Harris County
on a scale if possible indeed entirely
praet icahle.
The adaptability of this section to the
purposes of dairying and the advantages
it possesses over any other part of the
I'uited States are so obvious as to make
argument hardlv necessary but to pre-
sent argument by contrast will perhaps
be more instructive and persuasive than
if put in any other way.
The facts were furnished to Karin
and Katicli. an always practical and de-
pendable jablication. by a contributor
who once lived in the territory he de-
scribes -l'olk County Wisconsin.
Mark the contrasts: l'olk County Wis-
consin. is about 1tM» miles from the
shores of l*ake Superior: Harris County
Texas reaches to within 25 miles of the
(Iulf of Mexico.
In the Wiscot'sin county a temperature
of -10 degrees below zero is not an un-
common temperature three winters out
of five. Twenty degrees below zero
occurs several times every winter add
50 degrees below zero has been recorded.
Many winters the snow drifts more than
20 feet deep.
In Harris County no man ever saw the
mercury flown to zero much less below.
Snow has covered the ground but once
in 40 years while in the Wisconsin
county after the sitow freezes to suffi-
cient thickness to bear the weight of
teams. trans|e>rtution is carried ou
across the county without regard to
fences streams or gullies and when the
snow melts coalition* are even worse.
The contrast between such condition*
and those in this sectiou the same season
is too obviou* to need be stated.
In the Wisconsin County cold weather
arrives with October and corn can not
be planted till altoiit June 1. It is now
the latter |>art of October and here the
weather is bright warm delightful and
nesting ears are on» the market.
In the Wisconsin County there are
only four months of comfortable weather
ami only three comparatively safe from
killing frosts. That county 25 years ago
wa* covered either with pine forests or
consisted of cut over lands.
Again is not necessary to point out
the contrast. There are now in that coun-
ty 22 prosperous co-operative creameries
ami 23 co-operative cheese factories
ai-d the county is but little more than
half as large as Harris County. The
contrast between that county and Harris
is striking and most lamentable for
Ilarris County— -
In the iyisconaia county the herds have

THE LOST RUDDER

Propose Cooperative Move
to Stamp out Dengue Fever
PALI-AS. Oct. :Mt.— A movement to '
stamp out the mosquito in order to con-
trol the dengue fever and malaria in
Texas will start at a conference to l.e
held iu Houston. November 11. 'I lie
conferelire has been called by the 'lexas
Chamber of Commerce at the request of
the Texas State Hoard of Health and
local commercial organisations and coun-
ty and city Isiards of health.
The dengue fever and malaria Imve
cost the state of Texas millions of
dollars during the past year according
to figures submitted to the Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce by the Texas State
Hoard of Health. The death rate from
neither of these diseases is liiK'n. yet
bundled* of livea were lost during the
past year and a total of LotlO deaths in
Texas due to malaria alone have lieen
reported during the past twelve years.
More than 4tH> persons are dying in
Texas ant ually from malaria.
The economic loss is tremendous. I
Certain Texas counties have been sur- I
veyed. show a -record of more than 110-
IMMt work-day losses annually due to
malaria alone. This would mean the
economic loss of fully JltSi.tSHI to such
a counly. Added to the annual scourge
of malaria the dengue fever appeared
during the past season striking hun-
dreds of thousands of persons and
causing the state uv'llimi* of dollars
of loss.
Amo! " states of the south which
have already begun warfare against the
ino»|uito. the work of Alabama is note-
worthy. In 11*1 T. this state spent a !
total of $‘J7.tXKt towards malaria control |
and the death rate per thou sane I for
the state was twenty-three. Pining the
four following years the state spent
respectively $41.<NNI Jtso.tNtO. $Hi:t.tMH>
J£!1N(MNI 'for malaria control ami the
death rate per thousand from malaria
dropped to sixteen in 11HH. eleven iu 11*11*.
nine in lll'JO and eight iu HI-1.
At the present time the number of
deaths in Texas due to malaria ranges
between -4*Ml ami fitlO. Kffective work
is now being done in some Hast Texas
counties. According to a wire received
today by the Texas Chamber of Com-
merce. from the health officer of Jack-
sonville. a three-year campaign against
the mosipiito in that city has reduced
at most five months grazing. For t even
mouths they must be housed in expensive
barns the greater part of the time.
Here again the contrast is obvious
and to the great advantage of Harris
County.
It may surprise ninny people to know
that flic Wisconsin county has millions
of mowtuitoes and flics ficus and other
pests just as Harris County has (ex-
cept the tick i: yet the dairy business
goes <>n expanding day by day.
The market for dairy products is never
clogged. Jlairying is a biialnesH in
which there is not. or at least should not
lie any waste.
