Valley Canneries
Development of the canning industry in the Lower
Tiio Grande Vulley is proceeding rapidly. According
to estimates, the Valley pack this season will aggre
gate close to 150 cars, an increase of approximately
100 pc cent over last year. Severe! of the principal
can -ng plants huve been enlarged, equipped with the
most modern machinery, and the quality of their
product ranks with the best in the United States.
The development of this industry under the handi
cap of high freight rates has been astounding, and is
indicative of what can be accomplished when water
rates are established for cans and other materials and
lower rail rates secured for wider distribution. In
••gurlng lower rates the railroad serving the Valley
have evidenced their willingness to co-operate, and it
is not improbable that before the present season closes.
Valiey canned goods will have a rate that will give
them a decided advantage in the southwestern markets.
The major markets for the products of Valley can
neries have been developed throughout Texas, though
' the market for earned grapefruit is being extended
Into practically all states. The high quality of the
Valley product can win its way Into any market, pro
viding it is given an equal freight rate, and it is to th«
interest of the entire Valley to co-opernte with the can
•ners in securing that rate. They are opening for Val
' lev product* market* which otherwise would be un
attainable. They arc utilizing production, which if it
were not for the canning plants, would bring the
growers practically no revenue. It is true they cannot
afford to pay high prices for the products, and that
as a rule the cannery price is below that offered by
the green vegetable or fruit market, but they assure
the grower a market at time* when his production
cannot be sold for other than canning purposes.
One of the most interesting phases in connection
with development of this industry is the local de
mand that ha* been created for the products of Valley
canneries. Until recent years practically no Valley
canned goods appeared on the shelves of \ alley gro
cer*;* today their shelves are lined with the \ alley
brand:. and thousands of Valley housewives are speci
fying Valley canned goods in their grocery orders.
Development of the industry has reached the point
whereby practically all varieties of vegetables, canned
in Valle/ plants, can he secured from Valley store*
and every person who is demanding these products is
aiding in evtablishing th<* industry upon a firmer and
mote profitable foundation.
Pension For Teachers
Texas is one of the states that has made no pro
vision for old age compensation for those men and
women who have devoted their lives to educational ^
work.
In recent years several of the more progressive
states have followed the lead of New Jersey and passed
the necessary legislation to provide pensions.
Texas legislators will he given the opportunity to
pass a resolution calling for n constitutional amend
ment which will give the legislature power to pas* the
necessary legislation to assure compensation to those
who have devoted thirty years or more to service in
the Texas schools, colleges sn«l universities. 1 he reso
lution has bten prepared by M. It. llall. 1 snurnn
county attorney, and is expected to he introduced in
the legislature this week.
If the necessary legislation is enacted the stete of
Texas will merely be doing Her duty to those who have
devoted their lives to the advancement of education in
th state, men and women whose profession is the
foundation upon which all progress is based, but prac
tically all of whom are underpaid. From their meager
salaries few are able to save sufficient for that pro
verbial “winy day.” or to a*fo^ a competence when
they no longer can serve in the school rc*;£. fhet the
state of Texas should at least make provftiwv£..r
them is obvious. The state would be doing no more
for these faithful servants of the public than the rail
roads and corporations do for their faithful employes.
Another feature i* that enactment of an old age
f rompension bill would have n tendency to retain for
the benefit of Texans the services of many of the most
able educators, who, sfter serving many veers in th
4 schools or colleges, are attracted to other state* by
hi«h*r salaries. There is no denying the fact that in
Tfcent years many Texas leaders in educational work,
rerli-ing that their onlr hope of «. competence In old
«-e was in a higher salary, have secured portions in
other states.
, Their services are needed In Taxis. Any m»n or
woman who ha* devoted sevrral years to service ra
the Texas school is of greater value to those school*
I than inexpcrien'?d ten chow who must be secured *o
fill their plccrr when they are attracted to other »ta»*s.
If the state extended to them th« assurances that
thtir services are appreciated sufficiently to assure n
romeetetiee In the declining years of life, th y woubl
P be less willing to accept the attractive offers of other
H' institution;.
B? These ore morely the economic phases. There also
!* a moral phase that should be considered, and that
{» the duty the people of Terns owe to those who have
! served them faithfully. The "art that the teachers are
employed by the public should not give them a differ
ent statu* from employes of the railroads or corpora
tions. which extend to employes the assurance they
. will not be rs t a d • rfter years of faithful service
| Surely, the state o? Texas ean spare sufficient from
its great wealth t« extend the same assurance to those
who serve faithfully in educating our youth am* there

The manufacturers might logically point out that

When the convicts raise cotton and sugar cane they

painful overproduction. Farming is a business as much

LOCAL HISTORY
J. W. Cary runs a column in the Souix City Journal I
that interests me greatly. I live in Now York, and
have never even stopped off for lunch in Souix City,
in all my wanderings about the Americas. But I have
an insuperable urge, every once in a while, to spend
my money at the out-of-town newstand near my office
for a copy of the Journal of that distant town. I want
to read some of Carey’s gossip about the early days
in Souix City, the salty characters that made the town,
and the manner in which the town made its contacts
with its neighbors.
Carey’s column is called “The Bear Seat," and it
isn’t all local history, by any means. It’s full of ,
snappy comment on today and tomorrow, but it is when
the writer lapses into reminiscence that I particularly
celebrate the expenditure of my seven cents for the
Iowa paper.
American cities must depend upon their newspapers ■
for the recording of their history, during most of
thefr existence. The Saturday and Sunday magazines
section* in the larger towns often contain valuable con
tributions to local history.
• • • •
Historians of the future will value these articles,
and those who write them should take the utmost care
to verify dates Rnd rite authorities, for there will he
some very interesting state and sectional histories
written when the American people really wake up to
the importance of this work.
A local columnist who know* local history or ?
familiar with the ciders of the community who have
lived a part of that history, ought to pack a bit of j
local tradition into his column as often as possible.
I’m sure the future historians of Sioux City and |
Iowa will follow “The Bear Seat” back through the !
years, for its wealth of local history.
• * • «
Every town ought to have Its local museum or its j
lornl historical society, and there should be some vol
unteer worker who will keep a scrap book of all local j
history material that appears in the newspapers. Thus I
jvil! the building up of a great store of Americana go •
forward, to the infinite delight of the folk of the fu- J
ture, who certainly v. ill want to know something about >
the activities of their forebears.
The badly written county historic, which were j
gotten out a generation ago as subscription hooks,!
w.th pictures of those who woold pay properly, al- !
ready have become expensive Americana items, eagerly |
collected by persons interested in American history.
Local h-,-tory scrap hooks will be even more vslus- j
ble a generatios hence.

THE STORY OF
A GIRL WHO MADE
MEN LIKE HER
__________ __by Central Pr«*t Aa»oc»>U»i>. Inc.
“I cot a wow of an idea.”
REAL THIS FIRST:
Betty Brown's father and mother
tile, leaving her no way of making a
living except by dancing. This at
tracts her to many men, who desert
her when she is in trouble. She
has an unfortunate experience with
a local theatrical manager, to whom
she refuses to “be kind." obtains u
position with a local moving pic
ture) house and makes a small suc
cess with a visiting dancer. He
wants her for a partner, but the
terms arc not what Betty can ac
cept and retain her self-respect.
I NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
« • •
CHAI'TIR XXIV
After Ted Hawkins offered Betty
a partnership of a kind she could
not accept, he let her severely alone
when they were not al work hr Tore
the audience.
Andy Adair took her out again,
and was sweet and affectionate. She
caught herself wishing Andy were
elder and more settled and willing
to propose to her. although nothing
seemed further from his thoughts.
Fh" could not blame him. With the
allowance his father gave him, and
the good time he seemed to be hav
ing. it was hardly to be expec ted
that he would settle down as a fam
ily man.
Betty was beginning to wish she
bad taken George Harris* suggestion
end let dancing alone. Every man
with whom the had come in contact
had mistaken her for a woman of
doubtful morals. While she was
clever enough to evade an open
break with them, she resented Jack
Parker, the local theatrical man
ager. and this man Hawkins, tank
ing that because she danced sh' was
unconventional.
She remembered also, that while
i Dec, Harry and Andy were glad
enough to play around with a danc
ing girl, none o/ thgm hod suggest
ed any permanency in their atten
tion*.
When Betty car,;* t« the Tknrs
I lay morning rehearsal for her third
week at the Orpheam, the stage
manager said: ‘Brown, this t rogram
don't look good for you. We got a
woman hoofer who wtnts somebody
to help her in the act. It’s gypsy
stuff around a campfire and wagon.
On# girl dances, and from what I
know of these visiting dames she
better net be too good. Got any
gypsy rags 7"
*1 can make a costume in plenty
of time, and I can do a Spinish
dr- * which m.:-v answer."
Bettv- fit la he; soar* tip* rank
,nr this costume and practicing *
| routine for the dr es rehearsal at
which the visiting star would no- ,
pear. When she arrived for this re- ;
hearts! she saw Vera, the red
headed girl from the dancing school, j
in the wings. She had parted bad
friends with Vera because she had
taken Andy Adair rom her. but she
walked at once across the stage and I
said, “Hello, Vera! I'm giad to see
you hiving your own act.”
“/.at so?” asked Vera, her lip '
curling. She turned her back and
walked awry, leaving Betty standing
embarrassed.
The rehearsal began. Vera looked ]
at the set for the gypsy wagon scene |
which was to bo the background for
her act. Vera watched Betty until
she had half finished her dance.
Then walking into the middle of the
stage, she demanded of the stege
manager. “Is that long-legged ama
teur the best you got for that
dance?"
“She is.” answered the stage man
ager.
"Then I will save you the twenty
nr twenty-five dollars you are paying
her. I don't want her in my act.”
“She’s all right,” the stage man
cgn defended, spiritedly.
“She’s an auburn-headed gypry!”
laughed Vera, sarcastically. “I nev
er taw one with an auburn head or
legs that long. TLis is my act. I'm
not asking you to get another wom
an. I*m telling you she won't do, and
that's that!”
“You are the doctor, of course,”
agreed the stage manager.
When*Vera walked tff the stage
be said: 'Sorry, Brown, but it is
her act. Nothing doing this week,
i ( °m« back next week and well see
it there'* a job foe you.”
A* Andy Adair was to call for her
t that night at the stage door, she
telenhoned him at hit homo that she
would not be at the theater that
night.
“What’s on?” asked Andy.
‘Your red-headed friend Vera ts
the solo dancer. She is paying me
back fer jour deserting her for me
down at the camp.'*
“She's a cat,” laughed Andy.
“Where are you?”
| ‘In one of the ’phone booths in
the lobby.”
“Wait fifteen minutes. I'll come
get you.”
Betty was lonely and unhappy, and
only too glad t« see Andy and get a
t chance to tell hira her sorrow*. In
i • few minute* she was in hi* car
> and whirling down tbo river road.
In reply to Andy's questions, she
told him the eirraasataneaa. Aodv
v-a» sympathetic, nr d said enough
i unkind thing* about Vera to pat her
i *n * good hamor. They drove to a
roadside inn, where Andy insisted
on having lunch.
During the lunch hour a girl en
tertainer sang several popular sungr.
Aj she finished, Andy turned to
Betty suddenly and said: "I got me I
a wow of an idea. They hit me like 1
that sometimes!”
‘What is it?” laughed Betty.
”1 know a couple of young fel- j
lows w-ho are running the Iron j
Door. It’s the best bet in town as
n night club. They put on • show |
at dinner and one at the after-the
ater hour. I believe I can get you i
j a job there. They are closed on j
; Sunday. I’ll take you there for din- i
| ner and see what I ran do. If a girl
; makes good they keep her for
months.”
They drove around the country
1 roads until time to go to dinner,j
j going early so they could sea the
; show. There were only five sum
i bers on the bill, each performer ap
j pearing twice w*th a change of cos
tume and then in the ensemble tium

I Betty watched th** rhoVr carefully.
! the dancers especially. She told
I Andy *>he could make goed in such
company.
"As soon as the crowd scatters,"
he said, "I'll get Bill Paxton to
come and talk to you.”
He sent a waiter for the pro
prietor, who soon joined them at the
table.
•Bill, this ia my friend. Betty
j Brown. She is the best dancer in
this town. 1 want you to giro her

"What do you do” Where have

"1 have been at the Orpheutn the

EARL CARROLL'S LATEST
Earl Carroll startled last night
spectators with his newest extrava
ganza, christened “Fioretta.’* It is
listed in the playbills as a “ro
mantic Venetian comedy,” but it is
more than that. “Fioretta,” with
its elegantly appointed mountings,
drapes, upholsterings, colorings and
spears, lances, trumpets and girls,
is indeed the handsomest production
seen on the local platforms in ever
so long a spell, and when Miss
■ Fannie Brice tardily made her ini
tial appearance. “Fioretta” became a
treat for the ear as well as for the
orb.
It obviously was prepared at a
great cost. Ono expert on such
things remarked that it probably
cost about $150,000, but a quarter
of a million dollars may be more
approximate. For “Fioretta” is an
incessant parade of eye-filiing ward
robe and hangings, gorgeous designs
and extremely beautiful women.
With a more distinguished score, the
stunning presentation might have
been the greatest of all shows.

Young Cyril had been asked out
to tea. and during the conversation
ho remarked that he was afraid it
would be his last visit, because he
thought they were going to move.
“But what makes you so sure your
mother is going to move, Cyril 7”
asked his hostess. “She hasn't men

“Ah.” returned Cyril, "hut you

“Mary, has the chemist sent that

“No. ma’am.”
“Then ring him up and ask him

“Do you want me to rehearse?**
“Oh. no!” Ho waved his hand.

"All right. Fight the others If
i you want to. but don’t come'to me.
1 don’t settle women's rows.”
All the way home Andy assured
Betty that the Iron Door was a
perfectly respectable night club,
which sold no liquor, although no
objection was made to guusts bring
imc it nt their own risk. He told
Betty she need not stay at a table
where she was introduced if the
party got rough.
She was glad enough to get the
engagement, but feared that being
compelled to act as hostess would
not prove pleasant. Yet work in the
Orpheum was too uncertain, too de
pendent on the jealous whims of
other performers to depend on for
her daily bread.
She went to Georgo Harris* res
