Where Sympathy I# Not Maudlin
"Whfn mention is made to reformation of crim
inals someone is likely to refer to such mention as
maudlin sentiment.*’ remarks the governor In his
prison reform message to the lawmakers. "It is the
philosophy of the law that society shall attempt a
reformation of the prisoner in part as a matter of
self-defense to the end that he may no longer be a
menace to the life or property of his fellow man and
then our laws were written by humane people and
there is in it the desire to help the criminal for his
own good.”
Then followed another high note which should
appeal to the same men and women of Texas who
are strenuous advocates of the reclamation of the
convict as well as an impartial enforcement of the
criminal statutes of the commonwealth:
"If any say that it is maudlin sentiment to speak
of this reform of the prisoner I dare say that I have
sent more men to the penitentiary for violating the
laws of this state than any man who holds a seat in
either house of this legislature. I believe In punish
ing the wrong-doer, but I also believe in making him
a friend of society rather than an enemy of society
when the period of his punishment has ended. There
is a humane element in it and I would not overlook
it; but. primarily. I am viewing the matter from the
economic standpoint of the state, the welfare of its
finances and its people."
Solution of big problems calls for constructive
work on the part of big men. Now the big men of
the senate and the house should get busy and push
the cause dear to the hearts of the people along and
rid their commonwealth of a prison system which in
the years gone by was the shame of the state and is
a coetly burden today for the taxpayers to earn’.
The Nevada Billboard Law
While state, county end local laws governing ad
vertising signs on the highways are designed, in most
states, to afford protection to motorists, only in Ne
vada do they also attempt to preserve the scenic
beauty of the roads. This was disclosed by a survey
of such laws recently by the bureau of pubhr roads
of the United States department of agriculture.
In Nevada, no permit Is granted for the erection
of any billboard, sign or other form of notice on any
location which may measurably destroy the natural
beauty of the scenery or obscure a view of the road
ahead or of curves and grades or intersection high
ways or railroads While the majority of states re
strict the placing of signs within certain distances
of curves, grades or intersections of highway# or rail
roads. Nevada is the only state of the 4ft to restrict
the placing of signs where they will spoil the beauty
of the scenery along the highways.
"It is unfair to the motoring public that the very
Industries which depend upon the highways for their
whole business should be the worst offenders in
erecting and maintaining thousands of glaring, dis
figuring signs along out streets and roadways,”
Thomas H MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads, recently declared.
An Unbiased Railroad Opinion
"The m«5t conspicuous aspect of railway trans
portation during recent years has been the steady im
provement, in quality of service rendered." says a re
port by the Department of Commerce. "It is esti
mated that the time required for a given shipment is
now at least one-third less than at the close of the
war. This improvement in railway service has re
duced the costs and risks of industry and of distri
bution. It has marie it possible to do business with
out carrying excessive stocks of commodities.
"The betterment of railway service has been the
result of deliberate effort on the part of the railway
companies themselves and of co-operation on the part
of shippers and receivers of merchandise. The rail
way companies hnv* improved their roadbeds and '
their equipment. * * * Better equipment has
made possible longer trains with consequent lower op
erating costs; the average train in 1927-28 carried
781 tons of freicht as compared with 658 in 1921-22."
This testimonial to the achievements of the rail
road industry is especially noteworthy, coming as it j
does from an unbiased governmental source, whose ,
business it is to arrive at farts and not give unde
serve plaudits. The American transportation sys
tems must be given much of the credit for our un
rivaled general development.
THe Genesis of tKe Oil Industry
The amazing growth of the petroleum industry is
Tiarrilv realized by the average person. The first oil
well in this country was drilled In 1R59 and produced
but a few barrels a day. Fifty years later, in 1909.
the entire investment in the industry was less than
the present investment in pipe lines alone.
Two generations ago petroleum was best known
as a medicine, and then as an illuminant. The in
vention of the automobile was of course the turning
point that determined the future of oil.
Gasline became a necessity of life. The develop
ment of aviation opened up another great field. Bat
tleships and merchant vessels became oil burners.
Fuel oil grew in favor in industry and now many
homes are using oil burning heating plants. Thou
sands of miles of asphalt paving, a substance almost
entirely from petroleum, have been laid in this
country.
As a result the oil industry is pre-eminent today.
And by scientific progress in locating leases, produc
ing and refining, oil products are marketed and sold
with a maximum of sen-ice at a minimum cost.
The great problem at the present time is to effect
consen-ation and co-operation between producers to
prevent waste of this "liquid gold.*’ Intense efforts
to attain this are being made that both the industry
and the public may reap the benefit of soundest busi
ness methods.

VALLEY PUBLICITY
(Valley Irrigation News).
The business men of Dallas are spending a half
million dollars advertising the resources of the South
west. Thfs expenditure will be spread over a period
of three years. Seven hundred and fifty business
firms are contributing monthly toward this adver
tising fund.
Over 1.500 inquiries have been received to date and
the campaign is just getting underway. These Dallas
business men are not trying to restrict the benefit of
this publicity directly to their home city. They rea
son that if the Southwestern territory builds so will
Dallas.
Why not an advertising fund for the Valley? We
have an unlimited supply of fruit and vegetables to i
offer the people of the North. We can tell those
folks about our vegetable and citrus fruit and invite
them to come down and look the country over.
The growers should set aside a certain part of the
price received for their fruit and vegetables for an
advertising fund. For instance, say we would set
aside five cents a ton for cabbage selling for $10 a
ton and under: ten cents a ton on cabbage selling
for $25 a ton or more. On vegetables packed In
hampers and baskets we should contribute five cents
per box.
The chambers of commerce should match dollar
for dollar the amount raised by the growers. This
arrangement will raise a very substantial advertising
fund We could organize “Valley Advertising Cor
poration.” The board of directors should consist of
two m-mbers from each town that is contributing
toward this fund. One of these directors should be
selected by the business men and one by the grower
of that community.
We are very fortunate in having an advertising
agency here In the Valley that is capable of handling
such an advertising campaign for the Valley. We
refer to the James Advertising Agency of Mercedes.
. J. Meeker, president and manager of this agency,
has had a wide experience in national advertising.
Mr. Meeker was national advertising manager for
one of the largest daily papers in Houston for a
numter of years. Mr. Meeker could place the proper
copy in the mediums that would benefit the Valley
the most.
A small amount from each grower and business
man in the Valley will make a large sum. As the de
mand for our fruits and vegetables increases so will
our advertising fund. Within five years the Lower
Rio Grande Valley would be the most talked of place
in the world. Our fruits and vegetables would be In
demand in every city in the United States where our
transportation costs will permit us to compete with
other sections.
WOES OF A FIGHT PROMOTER
<Beaumont Enterprise'.
Mr. William Harrison Dempsey no longer wears
the heavyweight crown, but if reports from Miami
are to be credited, he has more to worry about now
than he had when he was champion of the world.
What wi*h lawsuits and one thing and another.
Mr. Dempsey has passed through experiences highly
disagreeable to a person of his simple, rugged nature.
But no enormous responsibilities rested upon his
shoulders. ‘ Tex’* Rickard could do the worrying
about the sire of the ' gate." the possibility of an ac
cident crippling one of his warriors just before a big
battle was scheduled that might mean the making
or the losing of a fortune.
All Mr. Dempsey had to do was to pummel his
sparring mates and go thniogh other exercises to put
himself into condition. Once lie had signed a con
tract guaranteeing him the big end of the purse, he
had nothing in particular to worry about.
Now life has changed for the sometime gladiator.
He has to bear the burdens that Rickard stolidly
carried through the years Does Mr Stribling want
to do a little flying? Mr. Dempsey is on pins and
needles, lest one of his star performers be hurt in
an accident. Does Mr. Sharkey develop a sore
thumb? Mr. Dempsey paces back and forth, with
knitted brows and a look in his eye that he never
had before.
Although the Miami fieht promises to he a success
financially, whatever it is as a pugilistic exhibition,
we predict that Mr Dempsey will not continue to
occupy "Tex" Rickards shoes. Mr. Demnsev might
be able to fill them, thanks to his prestige and popu
larity. but a man lives only once in this world Why
should h« wear hims*!f out doing something that is
rot likely to make him much richer than he is al
ready and is certain to make him unhappy?
BEWARE GF NEW PLANT NAMES
• Farm and Ranch'..
Old and well-known plants are still frequently of
fered on the market under some new and fanciful
nafe. The grass fraud bv which crooks sold common
fescue, costing 6 cents a pound, at the rate of $1.25
a pound, is fresh in our memory. A hybrid grain
sorghum which was common in Oklahoma by one
name was sold in Texas at three or four times its
market value by using a newly-coined name.
The following from the Seed World brings to light
a n*w scheme:
"A plant which is being sold in Iowa under the
names of California Fern, or Greater Fern. Is in
reality nothing more nor less than poison hemlock,
according to Dr. L. H Pammel, head of the botany
department, of Iowa State college.
"Its propagation should he immediately stopped,
he warns. it threatens to become a dangerous weed
in Iowa and is poisonous to stock and to humans. In
the days of the ancient Romans and Greeks it was
used to concoct a deadly potion with which to exe
cute criminals.
"In a weed survey recently conducted by Dr. Pam
mel in Southern Iowa he found poison hemlock
planted in gardens.
"The plant is common in California and Utah
where it has caused trouble by poisoning cattle, hogs,
sheep, and even persons. When eaten by cattle it
causes loss of appetite, salivation, bloating, .bodily
pain, and ultimate death.
"It belongs to the carrot or parsnip family, has a
whitish root, compound finely divided leaves, a spot
ted stem, and white flowers, which bloom in August,
and September. It is a biennial and grows to three
or four feet in height."
New’ fanners and new crops hold out a perennial
charm for the experimenter, and rightly so. But a
great deal of disappointment would be saved and
even danger avoided by sending samples of unknown
seed to your state seed analyist and to your agrono
mist at the agricultural college for identification be
fore investing heavily in them, or planting them.

her dancing career, is her bene
factor.

CHAPTER XXXIII
“Now. Betty, stop worrying about
Andy Adair and about everything
else until vou get well." said George
Harris. "Dr. Black tells me you will
be here for ten days. Forge* all
about expenses. Leave everything
to me!’’
“But. George. I have saved less
than two hundred dollars from the
money I earned. All this must cost
a dreadful lot!" Betty protested.
“Never mind how much you have,
or how much it costs! It will all be
paid, and you will be looked after. I
am no fair-weather friend 1 told
you when you cave up dancing I
would help you in any way I could.
The doctor says your dancing days
are over.
’ But I must go now. as the visit
ing hours of the hospital end at
nine. I’ll try to see you in the
morning.”
He shook her hand formally and
said “Good night!”
Betty was so filled with conflict
ing emotions that she could only
squeeze his hand hard and let, him
go. She knew if she spoke she
would cry. and cry she did. bitterly,
when hr left.
His formal hand-shake was so dif
ferent from the kisses she had ex
jiected from Andv! She had been so
confident of Andy, and that he had
done the things which George had
done for her; she felt an unreason
able anger at George for stepping in
so calmly and taking charge of her
life.
Perhaps Andy was hurt! Perhaps
he. too. was in a hospital! This
thought, startled her; she had not
asked anvone about him. The day
nurse had told her that if she want
ed anvthing in the night, to ring the
bell a* the head of her bed and the
night nurse would come, so she rang.
In a few minutes a tired-looking
undergraduate came to her bedside.
Betty asked her eagerly if she had
read the account of the accident in
the newspapers. The girl asked heT
what accident she meant.
“The automobile accident in which
I hurt my legs!” exclaimed Betty,
impatiently. ...
"The ambulance brings in people
even’ hour of the dev who haw
been hurt In automobile acidents.”
said the nurse, dully. “They don’t
mean anything hut work for me. I
never read about them. You
wouldn’t, either. If vou had to trot
up and down thes» halls, answering
1 bells and carrying them water."
j “I am sorry I bothered you." said
Bet tv, coldly.
"Oh. that’s all right, if it hadn't
been vou It would have been some
i one else. Want anvthing while I’m
h<°re? I can get vou some water or
something. Mavbe It will save me
coming back later."
"No. thank you, I don’t want any
thing"
Bettv would get the dav nurse to
find out for her the next day! She
turned her heed away until the girl
had left the room.
George Harris seid her dancing
davs were over! What would she
do for a living? Perhaps Andy had
found this out. Andv had never no
ticed her before she learned to
dance. Now that she could never
dance again, he h*d nrobably
dropoed her. lost as he did when
he>* parents died.
Here was an idea she must meet
fairlv and sous rely! The men «he
had met while dancing all seemed to
think she was fair game. Jack
Parker, ihe theatrical manager, first,
the man who wanted her for a
dancing partner next; then Dau
bert. the politician, and then, when
she was despondent, Andy had made
the same pioposition. His had been
cloaked and camouflaged, but it
amounted to the same thing!
ohe shuddered ana sobbed for half
an hour, finally droppmg into a fit
ful sleep. She awakened long before
her nurse arrived. In these early
morning hours Betty knew she had
made a big mistake to orgrn danc
ing. Georce Harris had been right
when he said that if site danced she
would have to pay the fiddler.
Andy Adair had said almost (he
same thine to her She had danced,
and was paying the fiddler, indeed,
and must pay for the rest of her
life if the doctor was right in sav
ing she would never dance again.
Mavbe she would be a cripple!
She had paid in another way, too.
Georcp Harris seemed the onl” per
son who rated whether she lived or
died AH her school friends had
drifted away when she becan to
dance. She had no women friends.
As Andy had deserted her after the
accident, she believed that Doc and
Harry would desert her also.
Sadly she determined to start all
over acain. when she got out of the
hospital. There must be some kind
of work she could do! She would
fon»et that such a person as Andy
Adair existed.
What a wonderful person dear old
slow, formal. Georce flams was'
How absolutely dependanble and
solid he seemed Some day she
would pay him back nH of this
monev and thank him for all his
kindness. Slip supposed George must
be in love with her in his queer way.
Khe might, even marry him some
time. She seemed to be drifting in
that direction.
She adm'red George very much,
hut, she did not love him. But
mavbe marriage would be t.h° only
way she could reward him! George
rould never thrill her. but so apreci
ativr was she of what he had done
that she felt willing to do even that
to make him happy.
" When the dav nurse arrived, she
brought in e big box cf flowers
which she laid on Betty’s bed for
her to open. Betty’s hands trem
bled when she found the little en
velope with the sender's card It
might, he from Andy! Rut. it was
George Hands’ card, end on it. in
his nrim hand, he had written:
• With hnoes for a speedy recovery.”
Betty laughed for the first time
since she had been in the hospital.
The words were so formal, so like
Georpe.
“Thp hnv friend is faithful.” the
nirse teased.
• No man ever more so! agreed
Betty, heartily.
George came at ten-thirtv, during
the lull in his business. He asked
"How are vou feeling this morning?
•‘I’m a lot better. George." she re
plied “I was a htt hysterical when
vou left last n»ght. I guess this has
taken my nerve. I didn’t thank you
for all vou have done for me. but 1
appreciate it. every bit. If there
ever is anvthlng I can do for you
I will do it gladly You are the very
nicest person in the world!"
George flushed with pleasure.
“I want to tell you. too. George;
vou were right when you said I had
better not dance for a living I'm
sorry I did. Did the doctor say for
sure I could never dunce again?”
"He said that a dislocation of this
sort was lik-ly to reoccur, and you
better not. d*oce nr o'ay tennis or
vour knee was likely to go out
again.”
“I don’t want to dance, and I nev
er was *» tennis s^ark. so it is all
rieht. All I ask is to get, out of
her* and find something to do to

“I told you last night not to

"George, you are twice as good to

you do all this.”
‘‘I told von before that yon were

through all this in the end. You
are too bright, a girl not to see the
inevitable end of the life you were
leading. This accident is the lucki
est thing that ever happened to you.
"I must get back to tne restaurant
now. Good morning!’ Again he
shook her hand formally.
The nurse had slipped out of the
room when he came. Betty smiled
when she realized that this was to
give George a chance 10 kiss her
good-bye. She could not imagine
George kissing her. She was glad
he had no desire to do so, as she j
could not have refused, yet she did
not want to kiss him.
As she thought over what Georrf
haa said, she wondered if this confi
dence in her good sense to see the
end of the life of a dancer was
reallv misplaced If this accident ,
had not occurred, how would she
have finally answered Andy Adair’s
preposition?
She wished she knew she would
have rejected it. As she looked back
on it now, it seemed incredible that
she could ever have considered it.
Yet she had considered it. She won
dered just how much the drink had
to do with it.
Three limes in her life she had
taken drinks Each time she had

** 0UT GROW IN rue GRACE * 9
AND KNOWLEDGE OF" OUR LORD
AND SAVIOOR i JESUS CHRIST.
2 PETER ?:>& H
llhs 1
«*y DR. ALVIN E. BELL I
One of the fundamental laws of
both the realms of nature and of
grace is the law of giowth. It Is
natural for anything that has life
to grow. "First the blade, then the
ear. after that the full corn in the
ear.” It is the purpose of the
Creator that we all "increase in wis
dom and stature, and in favor with
God and man.” Nothing is more
pathetic than a baby that does not
grow up physically or mentally. It
is equally pathetic to the heavenly
Father when his children fail to
grow spiritually.
Growth Seen by Jesus
No more interesting study in
growth is disclosed in Scriptures
than that afforded by the Apostle
Peter. Few people would have re
garded him as having in him the
promise of great things that day
when his brother Andrew led him to
Jesus. He was a rough, blundering,
untutored fisherman with few of the
marks of greatness as the world
estimates men. But Jesus saw in
him a diamond in the rough, an am
him a diamond in the rough, an am
bassador in the making, and changed
his name, that in the new name
given him he might give him not
only the promise and prophesy but
also the incentive and inspiration
for the growth and development he
saw as an inherent possibility lying
dormant within him: "Thou art
Simon the son of John- thou rhalt
be caled Cephas (which is by inter
pretation . Peter).” Cephas” was
Aramaic and "Peter” Greek, both
meaning "Rock.” From this time
forth Peter had a name to live up
to. It was a challenge to growth: to
make good the hopes of the best
friend Cephas had ever found.
Growth Commended By Jesus
Two years pass during which the
fisherman apostle has enjoyed the
high privilege of the fellowship and
teaching of Jesus as they companied
together in the intimate associations
of the little band of the twelve apos
tles. The time has come for a de
parture in the Lord’s teaching as he
approaches the cross, and the Lord®
