AIRMAIL is credited by Post
master G. W. Dennett^ of Browns
ville with bringing about a major
portion of the increase of 22 1-3
per cent in postal receipts for
March, 1929, over March, 1928.
Valley people are not only be
comng air-minded, he says.
They are becoming airmail
minded, also.
Receipts this March increasea
$1055 over receipts for the same
month a year ago. And an analysis
reveals that airmail postage cov
ered a large part of the increase.
• • •
Valley business men are wide
awake fellows and the fact that
they are making liberal use of air
mail is just another proof. Quick
service anneals to them.
One business man relates that a
desperate need for certain sup
plies developed about noon one
day. Rushed a letter onto the plane
with an order to a San Antonio
house. The needed supplies were
on the early train the following
morning.
Got results just as quickly as a
telegram or telephone call could
have done.
• • •
The postmaster’s report shows
that 8600 stamps of the 5-cent va
riety were purchased in Marcn;
1150 10-cent stamps and 3750 air
mail stamped envelopes also were
included in the increase.
And this was the first month.
All other Valley towns reported
heavy use of airmail.
• * *
IN THE OLDEN DAYS people
went to Fourth of July picnics, re
unions and similar affairs afoot,
horseback or by carriage.
How times have changed!
Invitations to business men of
I'rownsville urging them to attend

port^s<^f|£> be used.
The wfjT to be returned to the
chamber of commerce has a line,
with blanks to fill out, which reads:
“I expect to leave Brownsville at

WILLACY COUNTY newspapers
carrying stories to the effect that
watermelons are appearing on the
vines in that section.
One paper carries the highly de
scriptive and palate tantalizing
line:
“Watermelons Smiling on the
.Vine.”
Doesn’t it make your mouth
water?
The Valley has shipped her first
cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, okra,
asparagus, grapefruit and a dozen
other products already this year.
But the first watermelon prob
ably will excite more purely local
interest than any of them. Pos
sibly the crop is not worth so much
in dollars and cents, but think of
the human joy to be created by
that couple of thousands of acres
aiound Hargill and north of Ray
mondville.

“THOSE WHO were unable to
attend tl.e luncheon missed a treat
of the most delicious grapefruit
ever served in Steamboat Springs.”
Thus the editor of the Steamboa't
Springs (Colo.) Pilot concludes a
report of Rio Grande Valley grape
fruit from the orchard of Grant
Blake. La Feria. being served to
the Lions club of that Colorado
town. “The treat was the com
pliments of Lion A. H. P.oppen,”
the editor writes, “who recently
visited La Feria and assisted in
gathering the fruit. The fruit was
ripe and arrived in first class con
dition.”
The article appears in the edition
of March 8 and in the same edition
are some other articles which will
appeal to Valley folks.
One carries a headline. “Big Snow
is Settling Fast.” “The total snow
fall from Friday until Tuesday
morning was about 42 inches,” says
one sentence in this story.
Another headline: “Severe Win
ter Hard on Sheepmen.”
“Huge Snow Drifts On Pass.”
A personal says:
“David Gunning rode down from
Pritchett Ranch Saturday morning
on horseback through the snow
which he said came up over the
pony’s head as the animal plunged
along.”
* • *
Residents of that section should
enjoy Valley grapefruit.
And residents of this section
should be thankful for the spring
like climate we were enjoying at
the time the above items were
, written.

MEXICO CITY. April 9.—<VP;—
Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles was in
the state of Sinaloa today prepared
to establish his headquarters at the
port of Mazatlan, and undertake
personal direction of the Pacific
coast campaign.
There was in the action evidence
of his relentless determination to
stifle remaining phases of the re
volt and of rhe skill with which
the man moves about such things.
At Mazatlan he may be able so
to accelerate the advance of the fed
eral armies up the west coast that
before the predicted union of the
forces of Generals Iturbe and Cruz,
General Topete and General Esco
bar can take place in Sonora they
will find themselves beset from both
front and rear by well organized
federal pursuing armies.
General Calles is expected here
to remain in Mazatlan only a day
or so, moving northward at some
distance behind the armies of Gen
erals Lazaro Cardenas and Jaime
Carrillo, which yesterday occupied
Culiacan. capital of Sinaloa. A ma
jor battle, expected at first to take
place at San Bias, a short distance
north of Culiacan. is not expected
now until the armies have reached
Sonora.
At Aguascalientes General Calles
conferred with General Saturnino
Cedillo, in charge of the campaign
against the so-called religious insur
gents. He assured General Cedillo
of every support in the solution of
his military problem.

| Dean Says All Collegians Not Sots|
WASHINGTON, April 9.—(&)—
The modem American collegian
is not “collegiate” but “his higher
ideals and purposes, does better
and more serious scholastic work
and lives by a higher standard of
moral conduct that the student of
any preceding generation.”

presidents or deans of men of 300
colleges.
He undertook the inquiry, he
explained today, with a desire “to
contribute something toward the
correction of what I believe to be
erroneous public opinion concern

MEXICO CITY, April 9.—
(AP)—Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh took off from the Valbuena
flying field for the United States
by way of Brownsville at 12:20
p. m., after a week’s visit with
his fiancee, Miss Anne Morrow’.
The colonel declined to reveal
his plans but it was understood
he was going to New York City,
making several stops enroute.
VALBUENA FLYING FIELD,
Mexico, April 9.—(VP)—(.10:20 a. m.)
—Colonel Charles A, Lindbergh’s
airplane stood in the middle of
Valbuena Field this morning in
readines for use if the colonel
should decide to fly t6 the United
States today, but he himself did not
appear early.
The American embassy by tele;
phone told reporters the embassy
was unable to say when Colonel
Lij dbergh w’ould depart.
The colonel refused to give any
information as to his plans, though
the embassy declared yesterday he
might make his return filght “to
dav or tomorrow.” I
Colonel Lindbergh, accompanied
only by Colonel Alexander Macnab. j
United States military attache, ar
rived at the flying field shortly j
i after noon and began tuning up
his engine. He took off within 15
minutes.
Anne Morrow was not at the field
nor were there any members of
the Morrow family, the colonel
having made his adieux- at the
embassy.
It was generally believed he will
soon fly back to Mexico to see Miss
Morrow again.
When Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
passed through Brownsville one
week ago he informed Les Mauldin,
airport manager, that he would re
turn here within a few days.
He gave the first definite in
formation as to where he was going
to airport attendants here and said
he would inform Mauldin when he
intended to return.
He was expected to arrive at
the port this afternoon shortly
after 5 o’clock. Whether he would
continue his flight or remain in
Brow'nsville was not known.
County Health Head
Will Take Definite
Step Against Dogs
Bringing to a hea^i the sentiment
in Brownsville and vicinity against
stray dogs due to the prevalence of
j rabies. Dr. B. L. Cole, county health
officer, stated Tuesday that he ex
pected to take definite steps in the
matter Wednesday. Action will
probably be brought about through
a proclamation.
The matter has been under ad
visement of city authorities but it
was considered best that the clean
up be undertaken on a county-v/ide
scale.
Dr. Cole’s announcement came
after getting the legal aspects of
the question in a conference with
Judge O. C. Dancy and County
Prosecutor M. R. Hall.
How the clean-up will be con
ducted has not been decided, but a
dog catcher is favored by several
officers. Under this plan, a dog
catcher would be hired. After im
pounding the canines, they would
be advertised and held for suffi
cient length of time for the owners
to recover the dogs. If uncalled
for, they would be killed.

that Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother
of Aimee Semple McPherson, evan

ate love” to him and then refused
to marry him were on file here to
day in a $50,000 breach of promise
suit by the Rev. H. H. Clark, mid
dle aged* minister of the Christian
denomination here.
The minister, who filed the suit j
yesterday, alleged Mrs. Kennedy j
came into his life under the as
sumed name of Mary E. Clark last,
December in Seattle. Mr. Clark
averred Mrs. Kennedy rented a
hotel apartment here where they (
could “talk undisturbed.”
The suit set forth that while they |
talked of establishing a tabernacle
for Mr. Clark and outfitting a
"gospel ship” for missionary work
in Alaska and along the Pacific I
coast, Mrs. Kennedy persuaded him
to visit the apartment and another
hotel room.
The minister asserted Mrs. Ken- !
nedy proposed marriage, promising
to finance the tabernacle and
"gospel ship” after their wedding.
Mr. Clark represented himself to
be hesitant at first about the mar
riage proposal but declared he fi
nally consented.
Mr. Clark set forth he first
learned “Mary E. Clark” was Mrs.
Kennedy when he saw her picture
in a newspaper last February.
Thereafter, he alleged, Mrs. Ken
nedy abandoned him. Her refusal
to marry him, he declared, left
him heartbroken.
