PEDDLERS OF FAKE advertis
ing are going to find hard sledding
in McAllen in the future.
The 8hamber of Commerce has
appointed a committee which is to
pass of the merits of all advertising
propositiohs. good and bad alike,
not all of them will be rejected—If
the idea has merit the committee
will say so and this endorsement
will almost assure success for the
venture.
Merchants and business men are
expected to refuse to take any part
in an advertising proposal which
has not first received the support
of this committee.
This method has been tried in
many cities and is the most effec
tive method of curbing solicitors
of advertising fakes.
• • •
The knowledge that such a sys
tem is an existancc will operate to
keep many of the fly-by-night
solicitors out of McAllen and as
the fact that this method is being
persued gains general circulation
over the country among the per
sons engaged in promoting such
schemes, the work of the committee
will be reduced.
McAllen’s policy might well be
adopted by other Valley towns to
the benefit of the entire section.
Soon thousands of dollars which
have been leaving the section In
the pockets of these promoters
would be staying in Brownsville.
And think of the valuable time
that will be saved to Valley busi
ness men. They won’t be required
to listen to the roseate pleadings of
these solicitors.

BROWNSVILLE CAN easily gain
the reputation of being the “clean
est town in Texas,” Dr. W. E. Spivey
. j thinks.
His plan is merely that the city
» be given a thorough cleaning in the
Si! i ’> next six days.
When doctors arrive next Sunday
and Monday from all parts of Texas
they will find the town spotless,
tors notice these things more
rmn most folks, Dr. Spivey thinks.
The members of the medical con
vention will return home and tell
their fallow townsmen how clean
Brownsville is nd there you are—
Brownsville becomes known as the
cleanest town
• • •
But to obtain this very desirable
reputation quite a bit of house
cleaning is needed and Dr. Spivey
suggests that the citizencrv* be about
the business.
Yards should be cleaned—front
and back—houses washed and
painted where needed, weeds and
trash should be removed from va
cant lots, alleys be cleaned and
streets be thoroughly cleaned.
The street sweeper now in eper- j
ation does a good Job but the paved
streets would look better if they;
could be thoroughly washed" before
the doctors arrive. It might be a
good idea to leave a part of this
job until the doctors arrive. Men
at work washing streets cculd not
help attracting the attention of
out visitors who think so highly of
sanitary conditions.
Trash and rubbish niles should
receive the careful attention of
ir owners. If they have no own
then there should be some con
ed move to accomplish their
»val.
.siblv citv authorities would
in this laudable undertaking,
the citizens in general will
d to bestir themselves if the
mpaian is to be effective.
THIS DOESNT * MEAN that
Brownsville as she stands today is ,
In a disgraceful condition—not at |
all In fact she probably ranks
prettv well as is. But this merely
means that a little extra attention
in brightening up the dark cor-1
ners Till result In making more
conspicious our civic pride.
Pretty yards well kept and clean
houses always are a good sign of a
wideawake, progressive citizenship
Dirt breeds disease—doctors war
on disease and like folks who help
them In the fight.
WE ARE IN RECEIPT of the
folowing clipping from J. F Boory.
It tells some of the things that can
be accomplished by co-operative
marketing organizations.
The poultry associations of the
Pacific Coast paid private brokers
In the East 60 cents a case to mar
ket eggs. This was when each as
sociation acted individually for it
aales company sold 1.200.000 cases
at a cost of less than 24 cents a

was develooed to imorove citrus
marketing by cooperation, the cost
of selling by local groups was 35

of 19.493.237 boxes of citrus for
$96,582,408. f. o. b. California points.

scion Play is to be presented for the
last time at the municipal audi
torium here at d p. m. tonight.

the engagement at this farewell
presentation.

rest in preparation for the next
presentation at Seattle, Wash..
where it is scheduled to play for
nine days. The original engagement j
there was for one week but has been !
increased, according to the pro

being manifested in the present*- (
tion on the Pacific coast.
Valley people who have witnessed
the production are well pleased with
its handling, reports reaching the
officials prove.
“We are receiving high praise for
the reverential handling being given
this Intensely religious production.*
said Clarence E. Cramer, of Chicago,
in charge of the company here.
“The reserve of Beresford Lovett
in his interpretation of the role of
Christ, the soulful* presentation of
Maude Fealy in the role of Mary
Magdalene and the forceful por
trayal of the character of Judas Is
cariot by J. W. Bayley are compli
mented on every hand. Other mem
bers of the cast are receiving praise
for the handling of their roles."
Two performances were given
Sunday, matinee and evening, to in
terested audiences. Slight delays
occasioned ih the premier presenta
tion had been eliminated as the
stage hands and scene shifters be
came better acquainted with their

ter handled and additional equip
ment enabled the producers to pre
sent better effects in all the scenes.

forward with convincing smooth
ness.
The Valley chorus and orchestra,
with the assistance of Dorothy Det
weller as soloist, and under the di
rection of Harold Loring. continued

of sacred music for the play. These

the production was to appear. The
chorus received preliminary train
ing under Mrs. S. R. Jennings here
and the orchestra was organized by
Joe Lyday.

HOOVER TAKES
! STEP TO CURB
G. 0. P. BREAK
Senators Borah and
Fess Have Confer
ences With Presi
dent on Farm Relief
WASHINGTON. May 13.—(AV
Republican leaders today abandoned
suggestions for an all-summer recess
and determined to mold the party
majorities in congress into working
I shape for early decisions on the
j farm relief and tariff issues.
President Hoover took the initia
tive yesterday in bringing his scat
tered forces in the senate together.
Inviting Senator Borah of Idaho to
luncheon, and the critic of the Id
ahoan. Senator Pess of Ohio, to
dinner at the White House.
Today Senator Watson of Indiana,
republican leader, put his foot down
on talk of an all-summer recess al
though he announced a willingness
J to consider a recess of three weeks
or a month beginning early next
month after the house completes
the tariff measure and while it is
under study of the finance commit- i
tee.
M.\ Hoover is disturbed over the
party break in the senate which was
brought into the open when Senator
Pess. republican whip, made public
a letter condemning Senator Borah
•’and the other pseudo republicans’’ j
for failing to support the Hoover
views on farm relief.

NEW FARM AID
FIGHT LOOMS
_ !
House Angry Because Sen
ate Initiated Export De
Benture Legislation
WASHINGTON, May 13.—/^—
More than a score of amendments
to the farm relief bill remained to
be acted upon today by the senate.
None embodied threats of pro
longed controversy. * however, and
Chmn. McNary of the agriculture
committee was hopeful it could be
passed today.
The immediate future of the bill
and the possibility of completing
congressional action on It In time to
apply farm relief machinery to this
year’s crops was heavily clouded,
meanwhile, by the likelihood of a
controversy between the senate and
house over the right of the former,
under the constitution, to initiate!
export debenture legislation.
Ordinarily, the senate bill, after
passage, would be sent to the house
and. with the measure passed by
that chamber, be submitted prompt
ly to a joint committee for adjust
ment of differences. But the prin
cipal difference between the two
farm bills Is the bitterly disputed
debenture section adopted by the
senate, which Pres. Hoover opposes
and the house omitted from the
measure It passed.
House leaders have taken the po
sition that the debenture plan falls
within the classification of revenue
legislation, which can be originated,
under the constitution, only by their
chamber.
In that ground, they have threat- j
ened not to receive the senate bill,
a procedure which would prevent
submission of the two measures to
conference until the constitutional
controversy had been settled.
Negotiations looking to a smooth
ing out of this difficulty have been
in progress for some days between
the house leaders, on one side, and
Sen. Watson of Indiana, republican
leader, and Chmn. McNary, on the
other, but thus far without result.
The senators, both of whom sup
ported the administration in oppo
sition to the debenture section, have;
sought to induce the house leaders
to agree to receive the senate bill,
despite their constitutional objecs
tlons, and let the joint conference
settle the debenture dispute.
