IIN OUR
VALLEY^
UEER AND FANTASTIC ru-
s come to our desk at times
ere's one from one of our best
ratives— I
eporting a new angle to this
ipalgn lately staged out of
ton.
gainst cabbage.
e reports quoting what seems
js good authority
hat manufacturers of a non-
onous spray

nd that all the furore about

or their own product
feat's the report.
We hO|>e It Is not true.
We would hate to think that
any company.
Making Its hung from the farm-
ers.
Would deliberately try to injure
the market for farm products.
Just to push its own business.

HERE S ANOTHER one—and we
are afraid that this one is true.
A Valley fanner took his chil-
dren to the Valley Fair showed
them the sights just as a good
father should
Guess what impressed the kids
the mo6t?
Hogs!
They had never seen any until
they visited the fair!
It used to be an item worthy of
comment when the city kids went
to the zoo to see a cow. but we
are afraid that there are many
farm children today in almost the
same fix.
But thmgs are changing here
in the Valley along that line.
The cow. the sow and the hen
are not bemg looked upon with
the same scorn which greeted
them a couple of years ago.
I Valley commercial organization*.
Mot ably at Ban Benito have clone
Ifcme good work in introducing
Iwunn to their respcctne *.om-
munittes.
* There is more work to be done
along this lme. and any organiza-
tion which can make it possible
for the farmer in its territory' to
secure a pair of good dairy cows
some hogs ar*d some chickens is
uoing some real constructive work.

THIS THIRD 0>TE is one on
which we are afraid to venture an
opinion
It is reported to us that—
Turkeys have three laying pe-
riods a vear in the Valley.
We agree with our informant
who said that he—
“Dldnt know anything about
turkeys except that he lik^d the
white meat best.”
But we would like to know more.
We would like to know if tur-
keys do have three laying periods
a year down here.
Against only two in colder
Climates.
We knew Valley farmers work-
Pthe year round.
Non it would seem that Valiev
hcevs have the same affliction
How about it1
CITRUS GROWERS OF the

in which the Morelos fruit fly has

“Orowers of the Rio Grande
Valley gave unusual cooperation
by removing at. their own expense
all trees of fruits other than cit-
rus which are infested by ♦’ ' fruit

“Tiie owners have destroyed
about 40.000 individual trees many
of which were in bearing and

therefore to count on their spirit

FOR LIBERTY

Of Million For
Cause’
BOMBAY. India. Doc. 28.-.^i-
Mahatma Gandhi m his first
speech alter his return front Lon-
don. told a crowd of 501)00 white-
capped nationalists m an often
field today he would not flinch
from sacrificing the lives of a mil-
lion people as the price of Indias
liberty.
'May Face Bullets'
In the last tight members of the
nationalist congress had to lace
lathis istavesi he said but the
next time they may have to face
bullets.
■ If the fight is inevitable I will
expect every son and daufhtes of
Mother India to contribute his
mite” he said. However I will not
abandon attempts to save the na-
tion from a fiery ordeal. If on the
other hand there is no single ray
ol hope I shall not hesitate to
rail upon you to bear any amount
of suffering.”
It seemed clear Gandhi was
struggling with his conscience to
und an escape from the revival
of the fight against Great Britain.
His speech was punctured with
* ifs” and other qualifying phrases.
If the light is inevitable 1 invite
you to be ready for it” he said
repeatedly and then added “but I
will go to any extreme to avoid
the struggle.'
Warns to Keep Head*
He said British officials were
honest m their conviction that
India is unfit for self-government
but "I am all the more convinced
our sincerity in toe cause of liberty
will melt even the stoniest hearts."
He counseled his followers to

Lenz Mathematically
Has Bare Chance to Win
NEW YORK. Dec. 28 <.4h—
Ely Culbertson will resume play-
ing with Mrs. Culbertson tonight
confident that he virtually has
won his 150-rubber match of
contract bridge with Sidney S.
Lenz and Oswald Jacoby in a
test of rival bidding systems.
Culbertson with three different
partners has acquired a lead of
17.090 points.
Mathematics of the situation
give Lenz and Jacoby a bare
chance. It happens that the lead
of Culbertson's side has been
accumulated in 55 rubbers in
which is the number yet to be
played. 1716 average gain for
him In those rubbers has been
311. The same average gain for
Lenz and Jacoby would leave
time to square the match.
But the high-water mark for
Lenz and Jacoby w as 6.800 points
plus after 25 rubbers had be?n
played. That was an average
of 272 points a rubber. The
same avet age for the rest of the
match would still leave Culbert-
son with a comfortable lead.
Lenz and Jacoby have com-
plained of inferior cards since
Culbertson began to gam. The
records of aces and kings shows
no great disparity. In fact. Lenz
and Jacoby hai'e held 1.156 aces
to 1124 for Culbertson's side.
The kings compared 1.166 and
1.114 with Culbertson's side hav-
ing held the greater number.
Theodore Lightne:. the part-
ner responsible for most of Cul-
bertson's lead leaves the match
tonight. Mrs. Culbertson who by
the contract for the match must
take part in a least 75 rubbers
has 27 left in which to play.
Lenz can change partners now
that Jacoby has played at least
half the match but he has given
no indications of doing so.
There will be sessions tonight
tomorrow night. Wednesday
night and baiurday afternoon.
Missing Link With Foundations oj Human
Face Billion Years Old Claimed Found
NEW ORLEANS. Dec 28 P—
Discovery of a true missing link
an animal with the •■foundations
of the human face.” was describ-
ed to the American association
for the advancement of science
today by Prof. William Patten of
Dartmouth college.
The link Is a tiny five-inch
long skeleton found in rocks ol
the Baltic Sea. It is between
500.000.000 and 1.000.000.000 years
old and has the typical markings
of a certain early prenatal devel-
opment of a human being.
It is an ostracodcrm an ex-
tinct. ten-pin shaped fish-like
creature descendant of giant
spiders the sea scorpions which
Prof. Patten said “something like
a thousand million ; cars ago were
the highest mammals in exist-
ence.’’
Thia Baltic fossil bridges the
gap oltween man’s evolutionary
• family’’ as evolutionists say. the
back-boned animals and about
three fourths of all the world's
living creatures which were con-
sidered beyond the pale of kin-
ship. This vast outside host in-
cudes the insects. It is the arach-
nid family the jointed-foot ani-
mals. creatures which carry their
skeletons outside like armor plate
Instead of inside built around a
backbone.
Now he thinks he has found
the missing link to convince them.
The ostracoderm liad six pairs
of gills or arches in the mouth.
Prenatal humans also have gills
and other similarities to animals.
These animal ••vestiges” change
rapidly in the developing human
into various normal organs.
It appears Prof. Patten ex-
plained. that the two upper pairs
of ostracoderm gills developed
into some of the upperhead bones.
The third fourth and fifth pairs
became the upper and the lower
jaws The sixth pair turned into
a chin.
• These developmental readjust-
ments.” he said. “laid the founda-
tion for the human race.”

Animal Inspector
Seeks Fee Hike
The Cameron county commission-
ers' court took under advisement
Monday the question of increasing

law is designed primarily to pre-
vent cattle thefts.
The butchers objected to raising
the inspection fee saving they al-
ready are having hard competition
lrom out-of-county and out-of-

was the additional money involved
