THE WESTERN Fruit Jobbers
appreciated the hospitality of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.
They said so with a full page
advertisement in the Kansas City I
Packer sometimes referred to a: j
“the shippers' Bible.”
The advertisement carried in red
ink the capti n: “An Appreciation to j
South Texas Shippers and Dealers.”
Here is what the jobbers had to |
say with reference to hospitality j
and climate:
“Air visit to the Lower Rio j
GraWe Valley the Laredo and Win-
l^L'^rden districts Houston and j
|^HrAntonio has been a revelation.
j^w’Comlng as we have from the
wozen North your climate halmy
atmosphere and green verdure have
been a delight. Your hospitality-
extended so lavishly has given us
pleasure to be remembered always.
“We know the friendships cement-
ed during our brief stay will exist
*4ways and 'Tho Magic V Hey* as 1
*^•11 as the other sections of your
"eat state will be remembered in
• the years to come.
“Our distribution facilities are at
*:ur command. Whenever occasion
jites feel free to call upon us for
y assistance whatever it may be.”
r • • •
J (CHE VALLEY will accept the job-
!/'*' tender of assistance in secur-
W better distribution of products.
The Valley’s problem is not one of
u^oduction it is one of distribution.
._>d those jobbers who recently tour-
lJ this section can aid materially in
Solving thaj problem.
It is interesting to note that
itnong the firms listed in the Backet
sdvertisement are several who cover
fill major and some of the minor
parkets of the United States. They
pave highly efficient organizations
Resigned for tho sole purpose of
*ecuring more efficient distribution
>f fruits and vegetables. Those
organizations will prove invaluable
:o the Valley shippers and growers.

TWO MORE big tours of the Val-
ley are scheduled for February.

workers agricultural college faculty
heads end agricultural writers will
arrive Friday morning.

Defense Plans to Call
Brother of Senator
Earle Mayfield In
Richards Trial

DALLAS. Ter. Feb. 7.—(AV~'The
writing on three documents intro-
duced in the trial of Ben C. Rich-
ards Jr. for forgery was done by
the same person William A. Weaver
handwriting expert testified here
today in Richards’ trial.
After Weaver hnd been cross-
examined the state rested and court
was recessed until afternoon de-
fense attorneys having indicated
that Morris Mayfield brother of
Senator Earle Mayfield would be
the first defense witness.
Weaver first identified a check
made out by Richards to Jack H.
Miller. Then he examined a check
which had been posted with Orville
Mathews as a bet stake on the Oon-
nally-Mnyfield senatorial primury.
Next be looked at a letter author-
izing Mathews to pay the money to
•‘Clyde R. Vest” and a telegram
bearing the same authorization.
He aaid he had seen the docu-
ments before V. Ray Adams was
tried for Mathews’ slaying and that
in his opinion the handwriting was
that of “one and the same person.”
With photographic copies of the
documents. Weaver who said he had
been a handwriting expert for seven
years and a pennmanship teacher for
about 30 years explained peculiari-
ties in the writing that convinced
him it all had been done by the
same person. Certain small letters
stood higher than capitals he said
and that peculiarity extended to the
notary public’s signature on the let-
ter authorizing Mathews to pay the
money to “Clyde R. Vest.”
A. A. Crabb a former blacksmith’s
helper testified yesterday that
Richards gave him the letter of au-
thority. presented him to Mathews
as “Clyde R. Vest” and saw that
Crabb got the money. Later. Crabb
said Richards gave him two |50
bills.
Mathews was shot to death after
an argument with Adams who was
tried for murder and in whose case
a jury failed to agree. Adams
claimed he had bet on Connally in
the election and that when he went
to get his money he found it al-
ready had been paid to “Vest.”

AUSTIN. Feb. 7.—OP—Bitter com-
mittee conflict on the senate peni-
tentiary measures possibly will con-
tinue as a result of the senate rot#

started after it was discovered that

ber of the committee. The commit-
