‘CO-OPERATION OR—FAILURE?*
*
Such is the title given to a short address
recently delivered before the Texas Citrus
Institute at Edinburg by Clinton Fraser
general manager of the Delta Orchards
Company.
• Mr. Fraser proposed to simmer lus talk
down to the main point—that the exist-
ing co-operative fruit marketing agencies
in the Valley be merged into one co-opera-
tive. Carrying his idea of co-operation still
further he proposed that in view of exist-
ing differences between the already exist-
ing organizations a man-of national repu-
tation and proven ability he brought here
to effect the merger.
The idea is sound. It is on the face of
things absurd to talk of co-operation and
then have three no-four-eo-operatives do-
ing their level best to co-operate. The
thing has gotten long past personalities
long past petty differences of opinion it
has gotten down to the one basic question
•—Shall the citrus industry of the Valley
■urvive?
Take the sale of Ford cars says Mr.
Fraser. What would be the price of a
Ford if every dealer agency in the country
were allowed to fix the sale price? At
this point the speaker is discussing the
matter of some 210 firms and agencies
marketing Valley citrus fruit.
If Henry Ford were to adopt the policy j
of allowing his dealers to set the price it
would not he long before even citrus grow-
ers would he able to afford two or three
cars a family thinks Mr. Fraser and he is
right.
But Mr. Ford controls the price of his
cars at the proper place the point of pro-
duction setting a very proper analogy to
the citrus industry and pointing out the
proper place to control the price of grape-
fruit wth the growers.
Considerable discussion in fact—lots of
discussion—has centered around the cit-
rus marketing problem for the past several
years.
This season the discussion has become
more serious because we are now’ facing
the situation everyone knew we would
eventually face that of a considerable
production on the one hand and a demor-
alized and uncertain marketing arrange-
ment on the other hand.
Out of the welter of discussion good
must come.
Our one hope is that a sufficient num-
ber of Valley people become sufficiently
concerned over the situation to do some-
c
thing before the advent of another ship
ping season. One more season like the one
we are going through will set back the
industry an incalculable number of years.
THE RED AND THE BLACK
Oddly enough it is the party which is in
power by the greatest majority in recent
years that shows a deficit in the party fi-
nances.
Official statements filed with the House
of Representatives show the Republican
party to have a surplus of $184.76 as it en-
ters the new year. But the Democratic
party owes $529282 and has only about
$6000 in cash on hand to pay.
Thanks to recent contributions of $20-
000 from members of the Mellon family
and $5000 from John D. Rockefeller the
G. O. P. starts 1935 from financial scratch
while the Democratc must look forward to
a heavy deficit as they approach the 1936
campaign. They owe more than $60000
to John Raskob alone.
These figures are interesting because
they show clearly what everybody knew
anyway: that .when it comes to supporting
the actual machinery of parties both lean
heavily on rich men who can make large
contributions to party funds.
Figures like these will set many to won-
dering whether the base of support of both
parties might not well be broadened.
Diaphragm Irritation
Will Cause Hiccoughs
By OR. MORRIS tTSHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Association
and of Hygeia the Health Magazine
Attention again is focused on hiccough* because of
the case of a young woman who was subject to this
disorder recently for a considerable number of days.
Hiccoughs is almost the opposite of a cough. In
hiccoughs the diaphram. which is the large muscle
between the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity
is suddenly contracted At the same time the valve in
the throat called the glottis which shuts off the wind-
pipe. is suddenly closed on the air which is rapidly
being inhaled. .This produces the peculiar sound call-
ed hiccoughs.
There are many different causes of this condition
Sometimes there is inflamation m the abdominal or-
gans which irritates the diaphram. Sometimes it re-
sults from a distension or swelling of the stomach as
the result of too much food or the formation of gat.
or the swallowing of too much air.
In otheV cases the condition is the result of swal-
lowing very hot foods or drinks
ft ft ft
In addition to these local causes it must be remem-
bered that the diaphram is controlled in its move-
ments by a nerve and when this nerve is Irritated it
may stimulate contraction of the diaphram and there-
by produce repeated hiccoughs.
Thus hiccoughs appear in conditions in which
there is inflammation of the brain in the region where
the nerve controlling the diaphram arises.
There are also cases where hiccoughs seem to be un-
associated with anything physical and in which they
are purely a nervous disorder. There are cases of
hysterical hiccoughs. Because of this fact mild forms
of hiccoughs can sometimes be stopped by focusing the
attention elsewhere.
• • •
Coughing sneezing swallowing ice. vinegar or cold
water or vomiting may yield relief pulling out the
tongue will stop the attack in some cases.
There are cases of hiccoughs stopped bv having
the patient breathe into a paper bag and reinhahng
the breath that has passed out. This breath is full of
carbon dioxide. Stimulation of the breathing brought
about by inhaling carbon dioxide seems to stop the
hiccoughs. . .
When hiccoughs persist to the point of exhaustion
more serious remedies must be tried. In such cases
the doctor injects narcotic drugs which depress the
nerve action.
In the most serious cases surgical operations may be
used in which the nerve controlling the diaphram is
constricted and its contractions stopped in that manner

ty and above all it has a tradition—a tradition which
it would be foolish to throw away.—Walter Dam-

The World
At a Glance
BY LESLIE EICHLL
(Central Press Stall Writer)
| CLEVELAND O. Ptb 15.—When
is a merger of corporations a spur
to competition—and when isn t it?
That is a question paramount in
Cleveland and all the steel region
at present.
It is a question that interests lib-
erals and radicals as well as hard-
shelled conservatives. Strangely
enough the liberals hereabouts line
up with the conservatives against
the government on the issue.
The issue was brought up by a
i suit of the federal government to
i prevent a merger of the Republic
Steel corporation and the Comgan
McKinney Ster] company.
Suit was filed also against the
directorate which the government
: charges is interlocking. The direc-
tors are the ‘cream of Cleveland
i financiers.
The officers of the two companies
; assert their merger would build up
a corporation rather than to
1 strangle it as the government
charges under the Clayton anti-
trust ret.
Liberals agree—but of course go
much further than the financiers.
Liberals and radicals would have
elimination of all minor competi-
tion. But the great monopoly that
would result they would have the
government own outright—especial-
ly in such a vital industry' as steel.
In brief the ultra-liberals would
eliminate the financiers (whom they
call speculator.;* altogether—both are
very much in favor of mergers.

Pity the Police
Police firemen hospital workers
and other public servants have been
traveling a difficult road these past
lew years.
Cleveland police and firemen re-
ceived their Lrst pay this year a
few days ago. It wa." in scrip. And
it was for only the first two weeks
in January. The -pay’ also was at
an old cut rate instead of a re-
stored normal pay
As if that were not enough old
Old Guard Republican Mayor L.
Davis is trying to raise a campaign
fund to put through a deficiency
bond issue for the city. And who do
you suppose are ••invited" to con-
tribute to that fund? You have
guessed correctly—the public aerv-
antes who have Just been paid off
in scrip
Rumor has it that the ‘ contribu-
tion'’ from police is expected to be
trom $6 to $lj each according to
the rank.
Meetings are being held in Cleve-
land to determine how to return to
the city manager plan so blithely
voted out. This time the sentiment
Is to go even further—to have a
county manager plan. too.

WASHINGTON
By George Dnrne
Tabled—Madame Secretary Per-
kins and some of the heaviest Bram
Trusters in the Department of Labor
laid a neat trap for big industry. It
wasn't sprung but you can't blame
the lady cabinet officer for trying.
A disarming salesman was sent
out to sell the employers the idea
that what American labor needed
was "education." The Labor Depart-
ment would furnish the educational
material il only the bosses would see
It was distributed to the workers.
After looking over samples of the
proposed economic primers for the
working man. the employers gasp-
ed politely thanked Miss Perkins
emissary for calling and appointed
a committee to -consider" the Idea
In parliamentary- language tht is
equivalent to tabling the motion.
• • •
Charts—The personnel men look-
ed into the sample copies of the
bulletin a* it is called.
In the November issue they found
a graphically drawn chart showing
how workers were protected rela-
tively by unemployment insurance
m Great Britain. Germany and the
United States. Against a British flag
were lined up a long row of little fig-
ures denoting 12400.000 English
workers—or 62 per cent of the total
gainfully employed. Germany's flag
was followed by a slightly lesser row
of men denoting 17.900000. or 56 per
cent. Following the .American flag
was hall a man. standing on his
leeble one leg for 300.000 employes
or 06 per cent of all those gainful-
ly occupied.
In the December number the in-
dustrialists discovered a chart show-
ing net business profits and losses
of major industries during the first
nine months of 1932. 33 and 34. It
showed for example that the auto-
mobile industry lost $18 700.000 in
1932 but made $82500000 in 1933.
while in 1934 the profit mounted to
$86600000.
There were other notes but they
were all part of the one song.
• • •
Peace—The boys in charge of in-
dustrial personnel reached a quick
conclusion that such -education'
would never help them in their ef-
forts say. to promote peaceful com-
pany unions as against the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
They had visions of what the an-
swer might be if someone wrote in
to the Ques^on and Answer Depart-
ment and asked how best to go about
a little collective bargaining for
more pay.
The unwritten rather than the
written mode for such questions was
decided to be still the better way
Kir—Those who laugh off Sena-
tor Huey P. Long as an Ineffectual
factor in national politics might be
Interested to know that following
his first nationwide share-the-welath
broadcast he received 64.000 replies
- and only 9 of them were critical
That * a record that wouldn't make
Father Coughlin mad.
The King fish is bearing down re-
lentlessly on the two big broadcast-
ing companies for time on the air
Before he spent half an hour on one
chain last Sunday night charging
President Rooeevelt with failure to
produce result* and promising $3000
incomes to those who stuck by him.
Huey already had demanded half
an hour from the other chain with-
in 10 days.
The broadcasters are trying to dis-
courage Long. T;iey have made a
rule however that any member of
congress who demands time to de-
liver a message is entitled to it. The
Delta Dictator is hold mg them to it

Mexico—American protests against
denial of religious liberty in Mex-
ico mav not cause the l). S. gov-
ernment to interpose an objection
but threatened confiscation of
American-owned property is another
matter. The socialist national pro-
gram In Mexico aims directly at dis-
tributing lands some of which are
owned by Americans. Pretense is
made that owners will be compensat-
ed. but the compensation may con-
sist of doubtful bonds. The atten-
I tion of the State Department has
been called to this subject by Ameri-
can oil companies.
Mexico's experiment in the dis-
tribution of Health has some simi-

NOW GO OK WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXV
THERE was a clock on tbe book
case facing the personnel direc-
tor's desk. It was a small clock
with a case of dark polished wood
The ticking of the clock was the
only sound that broke the stillness.
It went “tick-tick tick-tick.” and to
Gale it seemed to shriek.
She knew Miss Groves was wait-
ing for her answer. Miss Groves
was watching her. Gale looked
down at her hands clasped together
in her lap. and said. "I—couldn't
Miss Groves."
*I m afraid I don't understand
_m •
you.
“I don’t know anything about the
meetings you’ve been talking
about.” Gale said. "I’ve never been
to any. and I don’t know anyone
who has. But if I did. I wouldn't
want to come and tell about it. It
sounds—sneaking to me ”
The lines about the older woman's
mouth tightened and two sharp
spots of color came into her cheeks
“Don’t be Insolent!" she snapped
“We have ways to cure insolence
too. How dare you suggest that 1
asked you to do anything sneaking
or underhanded?”
“I didn't mean that. Miss Groves.
I’m sorry It sounded that way. 1
only meant—well that I’d rather
not.”
“What you meant is that you’re
in impertinent young woman
You—" The anger died from the
woman’s voice but in her eyes there
was a chilly gleam. “You will re
port to your foreman at once.” she
said. “At once!”
“Yes. Miss Groves.”
Gale arose and went out Into the
corridor. She walked down the
long hallway with rapidly beating J
heart “It’s done now.” she thought
“I’ll lose my job now. Oh. why
couldn’t I have told her I’d do it?
Why didn’t I say something—any
thing to make her think I agreed!
I could have gotten oat of it some
how later. I’ll loee my Job now and
what’ll I do—r
There were no harsh words from
tbe foreman as Gale bad expected
She did not see him again that aft-
ernoon. She went back to work.
Ungers flying with new energy.
She’d work harder faster she re-
solved. She had to keep that job!

• • • I
IT was when sbe was walking
* home a little later walking alone
because Steve had stayed behind to
talk to someone that Gale remem
tered his words of the night be-
fore Steve bad said. “Brian West
more was trying to pump you. He
was trying to get Information so
that they could work us harder
grind ua down and make more
money for the company. Ton’d bet-
ter watch your step."
Could Brian have been respon-
sible for her Interview with Miss
Groves? Was it anything she’d said
lo him that had made them call her
into the personnel director’s office?
Miss Groves had never spoken to
her before. Why should she single
her out now. Just at this time?
Gale didn't want to believe Brian
was responsible. Sbe told herself
it couldn’t be true! And yet it was
it coincidence—Steve’s warning and
what bad happened this afternoon.
Gale hadn’t said anything to
Steve about it. Sbo didn’t want to
r.ell anyone unless she had to. Un-
less sbe lost her job.
“If they’re going to fire me." Gale
.bought. “I ought to know It pretty
soon. Maybe tomorrow—"

I/ICKY pushed the silver fox cape
* sbe bad discarded to one aide
There was a muff of tbe silver fox
on the chair beside ber. She stood
up—a tdm figure in a black suit
with unmistakable elegance in the
simplicity of Its lines.
"Let me eee that brown hat
again." the commanded. "The one
I thought I liked."
The brown hat was produced—a
flat bit of fabric of ecclesiastic ana
terlty until Vicky perched It on brr
bead. On Vicky tbe bat suddenly
became jaunty and flattering
"I'll take It too." the announced
T*** Miae Thatcher Nov Is there ‘

"No. Oh. yes I need some hose. I

thing else I want. too. That per*

“Yes. Miss Thatcher. The ounce
slse is $30. It’s lovely isn’t it?”
Celeste’s tone implied that $30 for
such a treasure was really a trifle.
Vicky drew the fox cape about
her shoulders and picked np her
handbag. “You’ll send them all
out.” she said. “And remember I
must have them tonight.”
“Yes. Miss Thatcher. I know
you're going to enjoy your hats—
both of them. Come In again soon.
We are alwsys getting new m

Vicky disappeared through the
door. She walked to the curb where
a bright green roadster was parked.
There was a young man In the car.
Vicky said. “Hello. Greg. Is this
a surprise party?”
He nodded. ’’Saw your car” he
said “and thought you mast be
somewhere around. I’ve decided to
let you drive me home.”
“Isn't that sweet of you!” Vicky
smiled.
