lie told of a suggestion that ha been

California and growers of the Lower

“The Lower Rio tirande Valley citrus
grower should visit California to see how
ib*y <lo things out there" he said. “And
the California folks should visit tin*
section to see a country that i> better
than anything they've got out thcie. I
believe that the organization of a tour
from the Valley to California and one
from California to the \'ali«y will he of
immense value to all concerned.''
Mr. Richardson mid that hi> stay in
California has convinced him o( certain
essentials to the industry in the Valley
before this section can attain it* t al
standing a> a citrus fruit growing m*
tioti. Anioug these are improved
methods of culture organization of the
grower* along lines that will make the
growers "stick" to the organization and

“The Lower Rio tirande Valley has
many advantages over the California
district not the least of which i* the fact
that we are thousands of miles closer

Hot Run-Off Race

A campaign steeped in lurid personal -

the race for governor and along com-
paratively mild lines for other con-
tested offices comes to u close Satur-
day vhen the dt moeratic voters of
Texas go to the p< Its to select nomi-

first tine in the state’s history a wo-

Keenest interest has been manifested

GOVERNOR TRIES
TO HOLD LABOR
Urges Cotton Pickers of
Tamaulipas to Remain
At Home
Candelario Garsa governor of the
state of Tamaulipas has issued an or- 1
der that every effort must be taken to
prevent Mexican laborer front crossing
th? Rio Grande into Texas aeeorrltng
to dispatches received in Matamorox.
The goverm r address' s his order to
immigration officials and others urg
ing persuasion rather than any com-
pulsory measures as a means of keeping
the lain r in Mexico.
The need of cotton pickers in Mex-
ico. the fact that there is nut so much
difference in the prices paid pick* rs on
that side anti on the American side of
the Rio Grande and the head tax and
other fees which t«» st be paid by the
laborer in crossing to the American
side of the river were cited as reasons
way the pickers should remain there.
A circular has been s-nt out in Tam-
aulipas explaining the situnti n fully
according to the opinion of the state
i governor. The petition states in part:
"With the object of preventing the
laborers of Mexico from enrount ring
the difficultion < f entering th • I'nitcd
Statci- under the new inn ignition law
of that country it has been asked that
ample publicity be given to the new
laws.
"The Mexican immigrants in order to
he admitted to the I'nitcd States must
obtain from the American consul near
est his residence a visa for which he
must pay $10. ind* j undent of the eight
dollars he must pay the office of im
migration of America where he intends
to enter.
"The immigration visa is g od only
for a period or not more than fo r
months at the end of which time the
entrance mav be negated and the im-
migtant required to return.”
The circular gives a list of those who
are exempted from paying the $10. It
was pointed out by the g* vernor that
the change in wag s would not be
enough to justify the laborers in leav- j
ing. only for a period of four months
and to pay the head tax and vi-a tax.
He explained however that it was itt
entire good relatbns with Texas that he
urged his own j cope to rt main in Mex-
ico.
Scientist Taking Fish
Specimens For Museum
Lifelike specimens of fish from trop-
ical waters about Brownsville soon will
adorn the noted Field museum of » hi-
cago as the result or operations now
being carried or in this county by
Prof. Alfrtd C. Weed head of the do
partment of fishes of that institution
and L. L. Pray said to be the best
f-sh taxidermist in the United States.
Trof. Weed and Mr. Pray now are liv-
ing at Point Isabel where they will re-
main for several weeks. Later in com-
pany with R. P. Camp state and fed-
eral game warden they will mak • stu-
dies of the smaller and scarcer fish
fourd in the waters of this portion *f
the state.
At present Prof. W ed i« devoting his
time* to taking specimens of the tarpon
shark. June fish. Sting Ray. Jack fish
and other of the larger species of the j
finny tribe. A« these specimens ate i
taktn Mr. Prav makes plaster casts of
them and in this way. secures an exact
reproduction which will not shrink or
warp as is the case when the original
-—
-kin is used. The cast then is painted
with permanent pigments in the natural
colors an i thu.. a permanent lifelike
image is retained.
These larger specimens will he ship-
ped to the museum when the collection
is completed and will Ire shown in the
main i tunda where thousands if p> o-
ple yearly will become acquainted with
the fish life in the gulf water* abort
Flrow nsville.
In order that the collection may he
complete. Mr. < amp asks that local
fishermen bring in any unusual speci-
mens they nay catch and give Prof.
Weed an opportunity to mid it to his
group.

a notion to refer the London ace rd on
the Dawes plan to a commission with
the understanding that the premier
sign the agreement before parliament
debated the question of ratification on
the theory that the accord constituted
a new treaty outside the Versailles
I art.
The vote was taken after the premier
ha I read a long declaration dt fending
his negotiations at the London confer-
ence. Although M. Herriot has come
off victorious in the first tilt it is pos-
sible that th‘- dehate may take longer
th in wt originally calculated as a mo-
tion and vote having delayed the open-
ing of the discussion.
In the senate also things will not go
it rapidly' as expected. Senators Millie;
Lacroix and Bienvcou Martin in rc-

p resident under the rules sent it to the

there should be an open debate at '

There may even he considerable de-
