expects soon, however, to take a
needed rest and will probably go

CR0PS L0KING GOOD.
A fine rain fell here Sunday
night extending west beyond
Aguilares and east as far as Rea-
litos. From Realistos to Alice
there was scarcely any rain but
from Alice to Corpus Christi the
rain was good. The rain here
was needed although the crops
Did cattle ranges could have
itood the dry spell longer with-
lut Ruffering materially.
Crop conditions in Jim Hogg
County are good and good
stands of cotton are noted in
every field. Marshall Bros, live
in Hebhronville but own a farm
in Webb County, just over the
line have 50 acres in corn now
in the tassel and looking fine.
They also have 100 acres in
pinto beans that will yield a
big crop. They have lf>0 acres
in cotton and will plant 100
acres more.
Crops of all kinds in Jim Hogg
County are looking fine and
some farmers are diversifying
with pinto beans, corn and sor»
ghum cane and these crops will
all do well with a good rain at
the proper time. Some few are
yet planting cotton but moat
cotton is up with a good stand.

DISTINGUISHED VALOR
ROTARYB WILL CELEBRATE.
DISTINGUISHED VI8IT0RS
Recently Hebhronville was
honored with the presence of
two very distinguished gentle-
men, E. Berkeley Spiller, edi-
tor of the Cattleman. Ft. Worth’s
great cattle magazine, and Tall
Moses, associate editor. tMr.
Spiller is also the secretary of
the Texas Cattle Raisers, As-
sociation, a position he has held
for many years.) These distin-
guished gentlemen, who belong
to Fort Worth in particular, and
to Texas in general, were on an
auto trip through South Texas,
making a survey of the cattle
conditions. They found every-
thing all right in Jim Hogg
County, with cattle fat and range
conditions good. From here they
went to the King ranch, by way
of Falfurrias to take a look at
the great. Lasater dairy. A re-
port of their South Texas trip
will appear in an early issue of
Cattleman.
Some of our farmers are di-
versifying their crops.
Hebhronville’s new Rotary
eluh is going to put the big pot
in the little one and have a real
feast, feed and frolic April 28
when it will be presented with
its charter by District Governor
Harry Hedges of Houston ac-
cording to Fred Patton, presi-
dent of the club. Mr. Patton was
here today and secured the pro-
mise of 82 Laredo Rotarians to
be present at the meeting.
The address of welcome is to
be made by J. Fank McGee and
the reply will be made by R. Lee
Bobbitt of Laredo. The charter
will then be presented by Mr.
Hedges and the speech of accep-
tance will made by president
Patton.
Speaking of Hebhronville and
its new club, Mr. Patton said to-
“Say, Joe, did I tell yuh my wife
was kidnaped last week7’
“Not Did you offer a reward?"
"Not yet, but I’ve entered tbe mania
name for a hero medal."

Your Smallest
Expense
Look over that sheaf of bills for last
month—or any month.
What did you buy that was worth as
much to you or had as many uses—as
telephone service?
That necessary service cost you relatively
little, but the bills will show that you-
paid out dollars for thingB that were not
essential to your welfare.
If telephone service should cost you many
more dollars each month that service
could be of no more value to you than it
is. For it is indispensable.
