Valley People Are Builders
THE splendid results of the election Tuesday are highly* en-
couraging not alone because the election provides for a
necessary public improvement but because it revealed the fine
public spirit of the people of this section.
No one in the county was really opposed to the flood control
proposition. The results show that. Our danger lay in failure
of people to vote and if certain citizens had not worked hard the
bond issue might have been defeated for lack of two.thirds of
the qualified voters. As it turned out we voted the bonds and
now we can take up the work started by Hidalgo county finish-
ing the largest flood control project ever attempted in the
United States.
It is a big thing but Valley people are not afraid of big
things. We know that the undertaking means in reality the
making of the Valley therefore we have not hesitated.
The citizens of the Valley may be counted on to support every
enterprise having for its purpose the development and upbuild-
ing of the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Valley people are builders. They came here because of faith
in the Valley and they are willing at all times to back their faith
with works. That is why we have grown so rapidly and that is
why we will startle the world with our future development.

Incomes of English Writers
IT is now possible to shed more light upon the incomes of these
writing men who talk to us out of magazines and popular
books.
Last year the incomes of several of our American writers
were bared to the world through the opening of the income tax
rolls to the public and now we have got some figures for cer-
tain of our English favorites.
Sir Hall Caine who has been writing a long time from his
home on the Isle of Man is reputed to have an income of $500-
000. Sir Hall leads the list. Sir James Barrie of Peter Pan
fame has the snug little sum of $100000 a year. Then there is
H. G. Wells George Bernard Shaw Somerset Maugham and E.
Phillips Oppenheim each ot whom rakes in a hundred thousand
a year we are told.
It would be a dilferent story however if these literary
lights didn’t have a big following in America. The bulk of the
incomes of all of them comes from the United States. We have
a tremendously large reading public as revealed by the large
number of magazines and books coming out al lthe time and
these English writers share with our American writers in pop_
ularity. „ ~ •
The litei ai y game has its rewards. More money is being paid
by magazines today than ever belore for the products of our
populai writers bo alluring is the reward that a large percent-
age ot men and women possessing some talent for writing are
t>ing their hand. Most of them are doomed to disappointment.
The unknown writer has a hard time of it for the competition
is keen. Magazine editors and publishers we are assured are
always on the outlook for new writers but it seems to be the
late ot nearly all writers to knock repeatedly at the door of
opportunity before it finally opens. %

The 80-pound husband was the de-
defendant and the 200-pound wife was
the plaintiff. "And why did you slap
your wife’s face instead of helping her
when the motor car knocked her down?"
inquiied the judge.
"Well your honor* replied the di-
minutive husband “opportunity knocks
but once.”
On a voyage across the ocean an
Irishman died and was about to be
buried at sea. His friend Mike was the
chief mourner at the burial service at
the conclusion of which those in charge
wrapped the body in canvass prepar-
atory to dropping it overboard. It is
customary to place heavy shot with a
body to insure its immediate sinking
but in this instance nothing else b’eing
available a large lump of coal was sub-
stituted. Mike's cup of sorrow over-
flowed his eyes and he tearfully ex-
claimed :
“Oh Pat I knew you’d never get to
heaven but begorry I didn't think you’d
have to furnish your own fuel.”
Little Edgar ran up the railway car
excitedly and disturbed the conversation

i CHAPTER t>.
The Die Is Cast
Of course Lucia Berryman told Eileen
• Reagan of Amoura's impending venture;
| and Eileen told Marcia Thompson; and
Marcia told Grace Vanderpoel; and nat-
urally in a few more tellings the story
reached the susceptible ears of Miss
Mary O’Connor society editor of the
Wesland Daily News and got into the
;) timely Views-
i
| “Airplanes an Indefinitely More Harm-
ful Weapon o3 War Than Any Other.”
Sir Hugh Trenehard chief of Britain's
j Air staff recently exptessed the wish
j that airplanes could oe ".loiished alto-
j gether. They add to the norrovs of war
( he says.
1 he airplane is the most offen-ive
j weapon ever invented” but it is a
i shockingly bad weapon of defense. Still
ii s the only <ic-
Ifensive weapon a-
tainst other a:r-
■ ['huts that nas yet
been discovered
:"!d even in these
days of scientific
improvement and
inventions 1 hav
k the gravest douots
whether ; ny othei
weapon will take
i If } its place for anoth-
•SipHu<1hYrenchA£5 er hundred years.”
“Although an airman 1 do not look
upon the air as a blessing altogether.
It may be more of if blessing to this *un-
pixe than any other country in the
' world but I feel that all the good it
will do in civil life cannot balance the
harm that may he done in war by i»
I feel it is an indefinitely more harmful
weapon of war than any other and
if I had the casting vote I would say:
“Abolish the air altogether.”
Discusses Air Defense
Dealing with the : ir defense of Brit-
ain he says “In the event of another
wai' in which this country is seriously
attacked by an air power the great prob-
lem to be faced is that in the first
clash of the opposing forces the cas-
aulties will he very high and the ques-
tion of replacing resetves will be ex-
ceedingly difficult; in fact it will be
almost insuperable not only for this
nation but for any other nation.”
“You can imagine yourselves what
would happ?n to Britain if it were at-
tacked from the air i»d we had no ade-
quate defense if you reckon that in one
day more tons of bombs could bt/ drop-
ped on it than were dropped in the four
years the war lasted."
LIQUOR HAE MADE;
4 MEN ARRESTED
Foifr men and R2 quarts of liquor re-
warded officers of tj^e sheriff’s depart-
ment in a raid last night near La Pa-
loma according to a report from A. S.
Lanier office deputy here.
Three were released here today qr j
bond of $750 each and one who \ al- J
leged to own ai d operate a boat on the j
Rio Grande was remanded to jail for a j
ifurther investigation.
The men are alleged to have a total ;
of 41 quarts of champagne 15 quarts of |
cognac and 20 quarts of tequila alleged
to have been smuggled across the river
from Mexico in a boat.
•paper for the edification of Greer*
Street and American avenue and even]
the other Ainsleys far down the valley. |
And Mary O’Connor always alert j
when there was an extra dollar or two
to be picked up here and there dug out J
all of the pictures of Amoura Ainsley
jn the Daily News "morgue” and dis-
patched them post-haste to newspapers
in nearby large cities together with
rather romantic version of Amoura’s
approaching adventure.
Grandma A ’ l-’y read the newspaper]
stories and s;....e<i then turned to the
comic page and tl ' heart and £ome
problems column Mrs. J. Reginald
Ainsley went to L 1 with a persistent
neryous headache 1 fought within her- i
self against cryim and pleadirg with
| her daughter. J. R*„;nald felt very self-j
j conscious when he went to the Wesland'
| country club for his daily golf. And i
| Cynthia Copley. Amoura’s sister hurried!
home from a visit in the state capital. 1
When Cynthia inevitably faced her]
mother flushed with long pent-up rage i
against her unconventional sister with: \
"Mother you're surely not going to al-j
low that crazy Amoura to do this?” her j
mother said with grim desupir: “She j
just won't listen to reason. She’s deter-
mined. What can I do?”
"Put her in an asylum!” Cynthia
j raged and ran to Amoura’s door. Her j
banging brought no response/
"Let me in Amoura."
"I don’t want to talk to vfu.” And i
; she didn’t: Angry over th«> publicity I
! given her venture she was* hastening j
| hei preparations to leavk Ainsley
house. Reporters seeking /interviews!
: she flatly refused to see; and she avoid-j
j ed everyone except Della the maid I
j through whom she got her food. But
when Philip Weinrich came to the house I
she joyously commanded him to come j
up to her room.
“You haven’t changed jour mind have
I you Phill?" This was the first thing
| she said to him.

West Virginia Lady Says That
She Was in a Serious Condi-
tion But Is Stronger After
Taking Cardui.
Huntington W. Va.—“I was In a
Very weak and run-down condition
—in fact was in a- serious condi-
tion” says Mrs. Fannie C. Bloss of
1964 Madison Avenue this city.
‘ In my left side the pain was
very severe. It would start in my
i/ack and sides. Part of the time I
■vas in bed and when up I didn’t
feel like doing anything or going
anywhere.
“Life wasn’t any pleasure. *1
"was very pale. I was nervous and
thin and so tired all the time]
“My druggist told me that Cardui
■was a good tonic for women and I
bought a couple of bottles. I took
two bottles then I noticed an im-
provement. I kept oik and found
it was helping me. I Jhave taken
nine bottles. I’m stronger now
than I have been in a long time.”
(ardui is made from mild-acting
medicinal herbs with a gantle tonic
strengthening effect uppn certain
female organs and upon the system
in general.

j "No" he said resolutely. “And you?"
“To the death!” she smiled.
"How did it get into the news-
papers?" he asked.
"That darn little Lucia Berryman
spread the news far and near. I’m glad
1 didn’t tell her about our pact. And I
don't know why 1 didn’t. I never can
keep my mouth shut when I’m with
her.” .
"Yes" he murmured “it's embarrass-
ing enough as it is."
"Listen Phil” she said in a lower
voice. “L’m going to leave tomorrow
liight. “I’m not going to slip away of
conrse.”
His heart heat a little faster. "Why
I’m not ready."
"That’s all right! You can go later.
It would be better anyway. If we went
away at the same time they’d think we
went off together. Wait awhile. Then
they’ll think it’s a case of broken
heart.”
“It is” he said without a smile.
‘"Stuff! There’ll be little Eileen
Reagan to amuse you.”
Philip flushed with annoyance. “You
know 1 do 't t are anything about her! ”
Being a woman she was pleased by
the effect of her remark.
"Listen" she began again. "I’m just
gior.g to take one bag and my dressing-
case. You can come for me at the gate
of the lower drive at eight o’clock.
I’m going to take the nine-fifteen train.
I’hi going to take the i*: 15 train."
“Where are you going?”
"Chicago. You mustn’t come therii.”
"Don’t go there” he protested “It’s
too^lurge. You'll—."
"What diference’ does it make?

There’ll be more opportunities for me
there.”
'And less of .a chance” Philip re-
plied.
"Old .Mr. Gloom! I refuse to let you
dishearten me.”
He smiled. ‘‘Aren’t you going to let
me kiss you a little dearest? It’ll be
a long time before—.” He bent over
her.
She jumped up from her chair. "Not
here! Not here!" %
That evening under the stars she did
kiss him—many times. And the next
evening too.
At the hour of parting she began to
Jeel a little pang in her heart that made
her believe she did love Philip Wein-
rich after all.
r She cried a little after the train had
left Wesland station carrying her to
her hew life.
