By RALPH L. BUELL
I PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY
furnish a goodly part of the pay-
check we receive every Monday
morning advertisements intrigue
•In Our Valley".
And oft times we discover bits of
news In advertisements which in-
terest us fully as much as those
contained in the news columns of
newspapers or magazines.
Mch was the case in reading a
recent advertisement in "Ford
pJews" the house organ of the Ford
■dotor company which pointed out
dust how far money spent in the
manufacture of automobiles goes
And to what diverse interests.
I FOR INSTANCE. HOW MANY
kf us ever think of the automobile
industry as a customer of United
8tates farms?
Yet Ford cars are “painted with
■oy beans” the advertisement head-
lines. going on to explain that the
principal ingredient of the enamel
used in finishing the cars comes
from the soy bean.
And other products of farm and
field go into automobiles.
For instance the advertisement
points out that the Ford Motor
^company uses annually 69000000
mounds of cotton from 433000 acres
'or upholstery brake linings timing
ars and safety glass.
And 500000 bushels of corn are
the harvest from 11280 acres.
t rubber substitutes butyl alcohol
nd solvents.
Flax? 2400000 pounds of linseed
oil yield from 17500 acres for
tem . core oil. soft soap glycerine.
I Would you think of sugar cane
ks furnishing materials for the
manufacture of automobiles?
2.500.000 gallons of molasses
from 12500 acres of cane furnish
pnaterials for anti-freeze shock ab-
sorber fluids solvents.
[ PRODUCTS OF THE FIELD
[find 3200000 pounds of wool from
|p00.000 head of sheep used in up-
Iholstery gaskets anti-rust floor
[coverings lubricants
f And 1500.000 square feet of
[leather from 30.000 head of cattle
tgoes into upholstery while cattle
also provide materials for milk-
caseine glues greases and glycerine.
Some 20000 hogs supply lard oil
for lubricants oleaic acids and
bristles for bushes.
And 350.000 pounds ot mohair
from 87500 goats is used in the
making of pile fabric.

THE FIGURES QUOTED ARE |
for Ford alone but indicate what a
good customer of the fanner and
rancher the automobile industry’
has become.
Our farmers not only feed the
nation but are becoming an im-
portant source of supply for the
raw materials used in industry.
T i whole thing interested us as
Indicating what modem science is
accomplishing and how closely lock-
ed are what at first appear to be
divergent interests.

EVIDENCE THAT THE GOOD
of NRA will not pass into the dis-
card along with NRA itself—
Is seen in public announcements
by the heads of larger companies
that no change is contemplated in
wage and hour scale being paid.
In fact the Humble Oil company
Tuesday announced a 5 per cent
hike in pay to all drawing less
than $5000 annually.
Walter P. Chrysler has stated;
thq| his company contemplates no
ehange in either wage or working

AUSTIN. May 29.—(A*)—The sup-

legislative act of 1925 exempting

HOME RELIEF
IS EXPLAINED
New Applications Will Be
Received Under Old
Eligibilities
Dealing with the amendment to
the Home Owners’ Loan Act. signed
Tuesday by President Roosevelt
which permits the Home Owners'
Loan Corporation for a period of 30
days tc accept new loan applications
John H. Fahey chairman of the
corporation. Wednesday issued the
following statement emphasizing
that such applications will be ac-
cepted only from home owners who
are clearly in distress and are
threatened with the loss of their
hemes through foreclosure:
“The same tests of eligibility of
HOLC applicants which have applied
in the past will in general continue
in full force under this new legisla-
tion. The corporation intends to
make every effort to assist home
owners who are in genuine finan-
cial difficulty but it will be forced
to reject every application which is
not clearly eligible.
"No home owner should apply for
a loan until he has first made cer-
tain that his application will be eli-
gible under the corporation's re-
strictions. He should realize that the
rejection of an ineligible applica-
tion. on grounds of deliberate de-
fault on existing debts is likely
to cause the home owner the loss of
his property because of the unwil-
lingness of his present mortgagee to
carry the loan following such de-
fault.

‘Matamoros Day’ Is Proposed
To Pay Honor to Sister City
A proposal that Brownsville
should by official act of the city
commission set aside a day to be
known as “Matamoros Day” in
the course of which citizens of
Brownsville would be hosts to the
city of Matamoros. Its officers
and citizens is advanced in a
communication to The Browns-
ville Herald from J. T. Canales.
The day would commemorate
not only the friendship between
the two cities but the “grateful
remembrance" felt by citizens of
Brownsville for the heroic assist-
ance given by Matamoros to res-
idents of Brownsville In days
gone by.
Interesting bits of history are
disclosed in the letter which fol-
lows in full:
It is said that gratitude is the
rarest Jewel; It is also one of
the Christian virtues. Let us
therefore show our gratitude to
our neighboring city of Matamo-
ros for the great services ren-
dered not only to the people of
Texas but to the citizens of
Brownsville as well.
Matamoros is called "The He-
roic City” and to Judge her by
the two acts I mention she is
certainly an heroic city.
In 1836 General Urrea who
fought against the Texans under
Santa Anna captured 23 prison-
ers in the two actions at San
Patricio and Agua Dulce; of these.
21 were sent under escort to Ma-
tamoros. These 21 prisoners con-
sisted of seven Mexicans from
San Antonio; one Englishman.

ing of his 17-year-old bride a for-
mer Hollywood Calif. high school

pend. There is. however a manda-
tory sentence of five years because

deadly weapon.

his room under the guise of hearing
her confession. The young husband

‘T0MAT0PR1CE
CAN BE HELD’
2-Cent Value to Hold In
Spite Of Shipments
Huntley Believes
Belief that the price of Valley
tomatoes can be held at 2 cents a
pound to the grower in spite of
he^vy shipments Tuesday night
was expressed Wednesday by Homer
Huntley head of the stabilization
committee of the Valley farm or-
ganization.
A total of 351 cars of tomatoes
were shipped Tuesday night.
The Valley reached a peak of
the season with 140 cars while
Mississippi rolled 96. and East Tex-
as 61. Texas had 228 cars.
“Weather over the nation is hot
now and consumption of tomatoes
I will run around 300 cars a day."
Huntley said. "Valley tomatoes are
bringing from 25 to 50 cents a lug
over Mississippi tomatoes and Val-
ley shipments will not be as heavy
as they were Tuesday. Therefore
in view of fairly light track hold-
ings. there seems to be no reason
why the Valley grower should not
receive two cents a pound for his
tomatoes."
Huntley said the control com-
mittee is still standing by the 2-
| cent price and urges growers to
hold for that price. He said
Yoakum will drop off. the Valley’s
shipments will slow up and Mis-
sissippi will continue shipping
around its present figure.
Very few sales of tomatoes were
reported Wednesday morning.

Project To Be
Ready by Time
Port Finished
Texas Company Will
Spend $50000
On Terminal
Announcement that construction
work on a $50000 waterfront oil
terminal will be started in time to
have the project completed with
opening of the Brownsville deep
water port was made here Wednes-
day by a group of Texas company
officials.
Included in the group were T. J.
Donoghue of Houston vice presi-
dent of the Texas Corporation; J.
S. Leach of Houston sales manager
of the southern division of the cor-
poration; P. C. Scullin manager of
the refinery at Port Arthur; N. R.
Baker of New York official in the
land department of the company;
and C N. Brooks assistant manager
at Houston.
Visit Oil Fields
They were met here by B. L.
Kowalski. Valley distributor for the
company and left early Wednesday
on a tour of the Brownsville turn-
ing basin site the channel work
snd the Port Isabel project after
which they proceeded on up
thr .gh Hidalgo county for a visit
to the oil fields there and will con-
tinue to Laredo from which point
they will depart for the north.
Mr. Leach in announcing plans
for the waterfront terminals said
the project here will be about the
same as that at Corpus Christl. It
will consist of about 50.000-barrel
storage oil tank car tracks and
loading facilities and other accom-
modations for bringing oil here by
boat and distributing It out over
the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Refinery Considered
Although the Texas Company
men would not discuss the question
of an oil refinery here. It is under-
stood such a development is being
considered especially in view of
the recent trip here of W. S. S.
Rogers of New York president of
the company; and B E Hull of
Houston president of the Texas
Pipeline Company.
The oil storage and distributing
facilities at the port will result in
a fairly good size payroll for this
section in addition to tha initial
investment.
Similar developments by other
oil companies aae being considered.

Indian Girl’s Love Which
Saved Massacre Is Honored
PORT DAVIS. May 29.—<AV-
Primitive love will be commemo-
rated Thursday when the grave
of an Indian maid who died for
her lover and saved a frontier
garrison from a masacre is dec-
orated the first time.
Since the early seventies the
Apache maid has slept beside her
lover an American soldier near
old Port Davis. Hie graves were
left untouched when In 1891 the
bodies of more than 200 soldiers
were removed from the military
post burial ground and taken to
Arlington National cemetery.
The love story tragic because
of the dictates of civilization start-
ed when the maid. Indian Emily
was found wounded on the battle
field after a fight between the
Apaches and soldiers.
The mother of a young officer
took Emily to her home where
the maid was nursed to health.
Two years Emily remained in the
soldier’s home. She slipped away
one day when it became known
that the officer because of his
station In life had chosen a white
Kiri instead of Emily.
A year later the Apaches went
on the warpath. The guard was
doubled at the fort. One night a
sentry heard stealthy steps. He
ordered a halt.
The intruder ran toward the
officers’ quarters. The sentry
fired. A woman screamed.
“My people they come at dawn
—I come save Tom." Emily gasp-
ed as she died.
At dawn the Apaches bore down
on the fort but they were driven
back by the prepared soldiers.
BLUE EAGLES
MAY GO BACK
INTOSTORES
Revised Program To
Stress Voluntary
Banding Together
Under Codes
NEW YORK. May 29.-MV-Hugh
9. Johnson the first administrator
of NR A returned to the circle of
presidential advisors and went to
work drafting a tentative plan to
continue the regulation of industry
under codes of fair practices.
Johnson the Associated Press
learned was invited to the White
House to talk over the situation
caused by the ruling of the supreme
court.
This invitation brought back to
the White House scene the man
who with United States Senator
Robert P. Wagner drafted the orig-
inal National Industrial Recovery
Act.
The decision to ask Johnson to
return It was learned was made
late Tuesday and Johnson at once
set to work In preparing new legis-
lation.
In one well-informed quarter
the new legislation was outlined
tentatively along this line; congress
coukl give authority to the« Federal
Trade commission to suspend pro-
visions of the anti-trust act and
allow Industry and labor to vol-
untarily band together under codes
of fair practice.
Industries so operating could be
given an insignia—the Blue Eagle
or something corresponding to It—
to show the public they were oper-
ating under voluntary codes.
The voluntary factor would be
constantly stressed under this
tentative outline and industry would
more approximate self-re elation-
something big business has been
auvocating for more than a decade.
It was emphasized that Johnson
would engage only in aiding the
drafting of new legislation and
that he would not accept any ad-
ministrative position.
