The Need of Co-operation
Valley shippers are generally agreed that if the
growers of the Valley will co-operate in marketing the
remainder of the cabbage crop in an orderly manner
the price can be advanced to $20 per ton and main
tained.
At no time in recent years has the outlook for a
strong cabbage market been better. Stored atocks
have been used, accumulated stocks are depleted, and
several of th» competing sections sustained severe
crop damage from the recent freeze. Sbippts who are
in close contact with the markets state that every con
dition indicates a steady demand and profitable price.
The Valley growers need the profits of $20 cabbage,
but it is obvious they will not attain them unless they
co-operate in orderly marketing of the crop. There
should be perfect co-ordination of interests between
the grower and shipper. The leading shippers have
announced their readiness to co-operate, and it now is
up to the growers to do their part. If they are going
to insist upon the shippera handling all cabbage with
out regard to the effect on the markets, the shippers
will be forced to do it.
The cold wave, which reduced cutting from 107 ears
Friday to 21 cars Monday, has dono much to stabilise
the market for the cabbage growers. Nature has aided
them; they should now endeavor to aid themselvea by
placing the remainder of the crop on the markets in
aeeord with the demand and to refuse to .ship until
they are assured at least $20 per tpn.
There will be no hesitancy on the part of the deal
ers in market centers to pay that price if they have
tha assurance the growers are not going to dump their
crop on the markets.
An Exploded Theory
In an editorial on the tariff, the Alma, Michigan,
Journal says: “To the dairy farmers, as tariff bene
ficiaries, can be added the sugar beet growers of the
west, and those who produce sheep end beef cattle.
Then we must not forget the citrus grower of the
south, and his southern neighbor who raises fancy
garden truck for the northern market. Neither of
these eould live without tariff protection. The old
cry that the tariff docs not help the farmer has been
exploded.
"Our American economic position, with wide gen
eral prosperity and high wages for all classes of work
ers. depends to a tremendous extent on protecting our
selves from poorly paid, poor living, foreign lahor. If
the American market were opened to unrestricted
alien competition, our home manufacturers and pro
ducers would have no choice but to go out of business
er cut wages.
"The American worker Is in the fortunate position
of living and working on an entirely different level
than Ms European equivalent. The old-world caste
system, labor exploitation, and general economic in
sufficiency. have no place in the United States.
"Those who preach to the farmer that tariff nega
tion will be bis salvation, and that it will help the in
dustrial workers by cutting the cost of living, are de
fying not only the facts but all sound social and eco
nomic Taws."
The Refunding Bond Issue
Announcement Friday by the ma*or and members
of the eity commission that an election to author!**
Issuance of refunding and improvement herds will
probably he eall-d at th- next regular meet ny o*
March 1. indicate- that th* city tax rat- *nn h* re
duced from *1.30 on the $100 valuation to *1 no or
$1.25 without delaying th- improvement program upon
which the city has embarked.
Brownsville has outstanding $*21.OOP In citv wa*
sants, most of which hear 0 per cent interest, one is
sue bearing 7 per cent. Th*se are short-tinie warrant*,
extending over a period of a few years, and th-:r re
tirement ip large amounts each yea*, creates n heavy
burden upon the taxpayer. Also, th* Interest rate,
while if Is th* averarc for city warrants, could h- re
duced materially by issuance of refunding bonds.
That Brownsville cannot afford to halt the im ■
provenient program upon which it has embarked is
obvious. Any curtailment of expenditures in develop,
ment of the' municipal airport would be re-ented by
the taxpayer*. There I* a well defined sentiment t *
the effect that the paving program should b* centin
ued; that the city park system should b* developed
as rapidly as possible; that the electric light plant
and water system should continue development to me—
the nerds of a gr*Wirg fit' . To do th* * tYn~* -
rest money.
The rity commission has announced its opposition
to additional warrant issue-, and in this they are
voicing the *entiments of the great majority of tax
payer*. If the— improvements are to be *nrri*i out
they should be financed by a bond issue spread over
a period of S3 to »« years, bearing R per rent interest.
If this I* done, financing of the improvement program
and refunding of the warrant issues will result in a
very material decrease in the tax rate instead of up
a *
lacrra^e.
In this connection it is inter sting to note that the
Texas legislature Is exnected to take action rn a
measure limiting warrant i*«ues by cities to $" <vw per
population. In tbe case of Prown«vllle it wor'l limit
the warrant issue to approximately *90.00<b Framer*
of the measure take the view that anv city launching
an improvement program should finance it with a bond
Issue instead of war-ants, thereby giving the taxpay
ers an opportunity to expres- their approval or d«
approval of the contemplated program Th-v hold
that the #3.000 per 1.000 population provide* -ufficimt
leeway to cover any contingenev that mav arise, and
that such warrants a* may bs issued should be cov
ered by refunding bonds without undue delay.

A GROIN’D JOB FOR LINDBERGH
(Beaumont Enterprise).
Now that Colonel Lindbergh's engagement to a
daughter of Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow has been
announced, the colonel’s friends may demand that tome
work be found for him to do that will keep him on
the ground. Colonel Lindbergh is a marvelous flier,
but according to the law of averages, he cannot con
tinue to fly, often making hazardous trips, without
having an accident.
Every time the colonel flies over inaccessible jun
gles and mountain peaks where it would be impossible
for him to make a forced landing safely, in the event
that something went wrong with his airplane, he risks
his life. It is coming to be though that much of the
risk is unnecessary. Publie anxiety has been felt for
the colonel’s safety on several occasions, the latest
when he became overdue at Havana.
The colonel always manages to torn up safe and
sound, but this eaqnot go on forever. Luck plus his
uncanny flying skill has not prevented accidents. He
made four parachute jumps to save his life, before he
became famous.
Lindbergh may laugh at the suggestion that he
should remain on tht ground and give up flying. It
might be a great sacrifice to abandon what Is for him
both a pastime and a profession. And yet, he hs*
done all he can accomplish for aviation as a flier. If
he is to serve aviation in the future, it must be in
otherways, by putting his extensive knowledge at the
command of the government or private agencies en
gaged in aviation development.
A fatal accident to Lindbergh would be deplored
because of his grest popularity, the esteem and affec
tion that he has won by his heroism, ability as an av
iator and modesty, but it would be regretted also be
cause the nation would lose a young man who still can
do a great deal to advance aviation, as a member of the
president’s cabinet or in some other capacity where
his knowledge and experience will be more useful than
at the controls of an airplane.
JESSE JONES IN NEW YORK CITY
(Sherman Democrat).
New York City, accustomed to big operations, now
finds something interesting in the greatest builder of
the southwest, since he was called to their attention
when Houston secured the national democratic con
vention. When Jesse H. Jones of Houston goes to the
nation’s metropolis, he is not only listened to but is
sought out by reporters of the daily press for inter
views.
It is Interesting to note that the New York Times,
sometimes called the greatest newspaper in this coun
try, carried an interview in a Sunday issue recently,
quoting Mr. Jones at length on real estate and real
estate values. It is singular that New York, th* city of
the greatest real estate development in the world,
should listen to this man from a newly developed sec
tion on matters which no doubt many New Yorkers
feel they only are situated to know.
“Real estate is a thoroughly sound and simple busi
ness,” Mr. Jones is quoted as saying. “Yet bankers,
for the most part, have not understood it as well as
they might. The more conservative bankers have not
regarded real estate investments as sufficiently liquid,
although good real estate securities will command
money when many other kinds go begging. The rea
son is that the investor can see his security, and in
no event can there be very much shrinkage in his in
come or principal.”
Speaking of labor, Mr. Jones is quoted as saying
that probably 95 per cent of the cost of a building is
for labor in the final analysis, “when the cost of every
material—that of mining, milling, producing, trans
porting, msnufaeturing, distributing and the final in
stalling—is taken into account.” Necessarily then, if
building operations fall off labor becomes idle and
business conditions grow unfavorable. “It is for this
reason that sound real estate financing should be fa
vored by bankers and investors,’’ he concluded.
Mr. Jones is now- completing a tower building ,n
N'ew York City, on* which will be among the tallest
in the city. His realty holdings in N'ew York and
< Texas are said to be valued at close to llOO.noO.OOrt.

ments are a contribution to prosperity will make good

IN HIS OWN W \Y
(Houston Post-Dispatch).
Governor Smith's tjggestion that his campaign
speeches be published in book form and sold at $2 per
volume, the money received to he applied on the dem
ocratic campaign debt, has moved some one to inquire
which speeches he means, the ones he wrote out in ad
vance of delivery and gave to th- newspapers, or the
| ones he actually delivered to the crowds in hit ow*>
words. The latter ought to make a better seller. Th
“lowbrow” democrats will find his expressions and
nour.eements in his delivered speech: s understandable
and in their own vernacular, while the "highbrows"
viil get a "kick” out of reading “such language.” Any
j publisher will testify that clever dialect stories are
i I>‘,l’u,*r- the primary purpose in the sale of the
| speeches is to get money and not to dessrminate the
governor’s political ideas and ideals, "the plain, open
and frank" addresses the governor made to the mobs
|who *athrr*vl about him on his speaking tours ought
to bring in the most shekels to the committee. To
wipe out a debt of $1,200,000 will require a widecir
culation rf the book, and it should he produced in the
most interesting fashion possible.

RIGGER AND BETTER HOMES
(Carpus < hristi Times).
Tie Chicago Association of Commerce find- tho.t
metropolitan Chicago is building new homes twice as
rapidly as the increase of population. Last year, with
lOO.noo more propl- in the district, housing accommo
dations were built for 205.000.
This is partly discounting future growth Chicago
builders and investors art sure of continued increase,
and rant to be ready for it. But probably a bigger
factor in the situation is a desire for "»«re commodious
housing for the eclating population.
The influence is seen in every liva. prosperous com
munity in the country. People want more living space,
families are moving from small flats and small houses
into larger flats and larger houses. Crowd'd homes
disappear. Congested section* thin out.
This is one of the most wholesome, reassuring farts
resardirg present city life. It means that city living
conditions, so long deteriorating, are now growing
better. It is one ©f the finest fruits of prosperity.

! READ THIS FIRST:
Hetty Brown dances for amuse
ment until her parents die. and then
is forced to do so professionally. In
her professional capacity she attracts
many men. but not in the way she
wants. A theatrical manager a man
dancer and a city politician, make
tho mi take of thinking all dancers
fcve lax morals. Betty's school
friends linger on the edges of her
life, particularly George Harris, who
does not like her dancing profession
ally, and Andy Adair, who punches
Jake Paubert, the politician, when he
tries to force Betty into hi* ear a* !
she leaves the night club where she
is dancing.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) I
• • •
CHAPTER XXVII
Betty’s depression over her exneri
jence with Jake Paubert the night be
fore was with her when she awoke.
; She lay wondering w hat Andy meant j
when he said he would make her
j yrove that she had fallen for hiet.
Was he going to propose marriage
■ to her? She knew Andy’s parents
| were wealthy, and feared that if he
tried to marry a professional dancer
they would be shocked and interfere.;
Sho wished she hod not taken up
dancing at ail, so that if Andy did
want to marry her there would be no
objection his parents might inter
pose.
bhe sighed as she took her bath
and went through htr usual exer
cises, the price one must pay for
pliable muscles. For some unknown
reason she went to the restaurant
i George Harris managed, for her com- .
I binaiion breakfast and lunch. George
*at so steady and reliable she felt |
she might absorb some comfort.
Ho came to her table and spoke.
I but it was the busy hour. She real-!
' ixed he was more interested tn the
| restaurant than in her. A* he stood
at her table hi* eyes wandered here
and there over the room. She told
■ h.m not to let her detain him, and he
1 ft with a sigh of relief.
Sho wandered around the shop*,
and went to see a moving picture
and then to her work at the Iron
Poor.
“Bos* want* to see you.” said the
j head waiter, a* she came in. She
: went to Paxton's table in fear and
; trembling.
"W ha* happened between you and
Jake Paubert?” he asked, in his
abrupt way.
“He tried to drag me into hi* car:
} by force a* I left last n.ght,” an
swered Betty,
“What happened before that?”
! “He pawed me at the table.” Betty i
pat her hard on her knee to illus- I
, trate.
“Hum. hum. Your boy friend Andy
punched him! I gur■* you are
1 through. Brown. Don’* want dia->

you ?*
"Not from that fat pig!” cried Bet
te. "Why do you say that i am
through r*
• You are through dancing in thi*
town!” explained Paxton. “That fat
bird run* this city. If I keep you
here he will make me close at twelve
o'clock. He will have me raided for
selling !'<iuor. His me** will say they
bought it here. *!•>.< / -h you know >
we Han’t sell it. He’ll frame me or
I anybody else w ho hires you. That’s
the or;!r tray he can get back for

« “You mean he will have me dis
charged ?*
"He has already done it!" answer
ed Paxton. "I’d like to I ’ • a i^nch
at htiti rnjxelf. but what can I do?:
If j*a go I stay open. If you don't
I get raided. One of his wrardmen
has already tcld me I better let you
go. and that’s that. I’m sorry, kid.”
“I can't blame you.” Betty rose.
She w«*» afraid t« ray more, lest she
cry. .She weift to tha dressing room
to get her make-up box and cos
tumes.
“Hey. Brown!” exclaimed one of
the girt*. "Saw job vamping Jake
Poubert last ti ght. In soft, eh?
Say. that fat bird bas dough enough
to start a bakery, and is loose as

“He had me discharged because !

“Pirtr pig!” exclaimed the girl, in]
ready sympathy. "He couldn't get1

me lor an ms money, rn sorry,
kid!"
Fearing the would break down if
she received more sympathy. Betty |
packed her costume and fled to her
room, th«.re to throw herself on the
bed and sob out the discouragement
she felt so deeply.
She had pleased the patrons of the
Iron Door with her dancing. When
acting as a hostess at one of the
tables she had tried her best to chat
pie uini *. To have this man feel
that he could insult her with im
punity because she exposed her body
lr. her dancing made.her realize more
than ever her mistake in taking up
this work.
She thought of telling George
Harris, and asking fyr a position as
waitress, bookkeeper, or anything
which would pay her enough on
which to live. She still har her pride,
however, and decided that she would
not go to George until she had ex
hausted every possibility of making
her way dancing.
The stage manager at the Orpbeum
had been rough, but just. She hoped
she might get work there, and went
to sleep a bit buoyed op.
The following day she went to the
Orpheom and asked the stage man
ager if be had anything for her to
da
“You are too veil for the chorus,
as you know. Mighty few chances
for solo work here. Wj go in for
high-das* family stuff, anyhow,, and
you are not in so good in this town.
You can't mix up with Jake Daubert
and get work in nice place*."
“What do you mean?" ask*'d Betty.
“Seen this week's Tattler?” be
asked The Tattler was a weekly of
the sensational type, which dwelt
largely in scandal.
I never read it." i
“Better read this number." The
stage manage- turned away, i
Betty reluctantly left the theater
: and bought the Tattler a »a news*
..r
f.reet. sue returnee to ner room to
find the following paragraph in its i
Night Life of the Town roiumn.
"A comedy sketch which might be
entitled "The Sp der and the Fly” waa'
put cn at one of (be popular night ]
clubs this week. Betty is a beautiful
dancer, slim and agile. She played!
the part of the fly. The spider was ]
a rotund gentleman of the oily villain
t pe. He looked on Betty and found
her good. After the dub rioted he
waited for her in a truly villainous
way, big limousine purring at the
curb, smiling spider at the entrance.
But the fly was reluctant, as she
had a* date w ith another spider, a
»cion of a wealthy family.
"The villian grasped the lovely gal
by the wrist and tried to drag her
into the waiting car, when lo and
behold, the hero appeared on the
rcene. Without taking the trouble *o
exclaim: ‘Unhand that gal. you vil
lain!’ he punched the fat man in the
snoot and below the belt and. leav
ing him in the gutter, vanished in
a high-powered car with the gsi.
"The next morning several poli
ticians were insulted, three police
men were fired, and local polities
generally upset because the fat man
had a black eye. Betty is strangely
miitsing from the night club.’*
The injustice ef its struck Betty
first. Her name was mentioned while
these ef Dsubert and Andpr Adair
were omitted. She was fair game
for anyone, but the Tattler had not
S dared to mention the name of a pow
erful politician or the son ef a
! wealthy family.
She realised wl are she had drifted.

elected to add that the quip was}
contribution. Came this conub
to him from Mr. Ted Robinson Wft
Cleveland Plain Dealer:
“You say of Walter Winchell^
he printed a quip about vaudevij
critics who don't leave a turn if
stoned. I thought sooner or later A
little jest would get around to whet
the plagiarists would think it safe I
lift it. Winchell probably nc\l
heard of me or my column, and!
may be it occurred to him sp-1
tanemisiy, only I claim to have beat*
him to it by ten years.”
Mr. Falstaff forwards the cow
plaint from hts own departmdf
to show that he had added: m
was carelessness on my own part m ,
to make it plain that Walter d |
claim the joke. He attributed It m 1

By Pit. ALVIN E. BELL
I Prayer is a blank check on the un
searchable riches of God, signed by
the Son of God and lett witn us. to
fill in our own name and amount for
which the check is to be drown. Our
Lords promise is, that “whatsoever
ye shall ask of the Father in my
ru.me, lie will give it to you." The
funds in the bank at our disposal are
inexhaustible. Christ’s name is good
nt the bank for any amouut. lie is
killing to countersign our checks,
i Why, then, don’t we make larger use
of this privilege of prayer?
The great prayers of the Bible af
ford us our most helpful lessons in
I the school of prayer. For example.
Abraham's intercession for Lot in
Sodom, which is the great prayer
in the Bible. It was intercessory,
for he was praying for othera and
not himsalf; it was importunate for
six times he prayed, each time ask
ing for more generous terms; it was
definite, asking for a specifie thing;
and it was offered in a beautiful
spirit of humility. Moses’ great
prayer for Israel after the ain of the
.olden calf woa likewise a gem in
: intercessory prayer.
Kebiisiiah's prayer for the restorj
lion of Israel is a fine example of 11
proper ingredients that go to tl#
making of a truly great prayer, fil
there we have them blended beau'
fully, and in the proper ordsf
tl) Adoration, (2) Confession, til
Petition, (41 Intercession and (If
Praise or Thanksgiving. These a I
the essential elements of all tri
prayer.
Uur Lord has given us a me*,*
prayer in what *e call “the Lor-l
t’ra>tr.” It contain* seven petition -

bix of these petitions are for apirl
ual blessings, and only on* of thefxf
for material blessings, a proportu/i
winch we generally reverse in of
praying. The first three petitioify
“seek first the Kingdom of God an 1
his righteousness," the hallowing o|
his name, the coming of hia kinguo
and the doing of his will. Not until
the fourth petition is any material
or bodily blessing sought, and averl
then ths daily brand Is sought. Boy
