Brownsville Merchants
Prepare For Dad’s Day
Seventh annual national Fathers’
flay will mark next Sunday. June
16. it being the third Sunday in fhe
month. This date witnesses the
usual customary observances in
honor of the fathers heading the
23,000.000 families in the U. S. A.
It also may he the occasion for
new and novel stunts in Dad's
honor, although none as yet have
been announced for Brownsville.
Father’s day’s widespread and
continued observance has created
numerous standardized customs, al
ways the test of permanent popr
ularltv in an observance day. Moth
er's day cannot be cut out. of the
calendar, and though its sentiment
is different. Father’s day proves its
permanence in its own particular
loving and jolly customs perpetu
ated yearly.
Brownsville merchants have made
more prepart ion for the approach
ing Father's day than ever before.
Now that it is p well established
day on which fathers are remem
bered with gifts by their children,
merchants hnvp arranged their
stocks accordingly.
One Brownsville store has already
received a huee number of ties
which they will feature as gifts for
him. and another says it will have
oevrything he wears prominently
displayed in order to insure n quick
yet perfect selection for him, who
has done so much for us and sacri
ficed to such an extent for our wel
fare.
Still another store owner said h*
would present a partial list of sug
gestions for suitable gifts for fath
er in a window display which w-il!
contain nothing but wearing appar
el. This same merchant said he
had coached his entire selling or
ganization in helping the customer
to select his gift. Ke added that
his salesmen were acquainted with
' most Brownsville fathers, which
fact would further aid in the selec
tion of a suitable present for him
who is forgotten on almost every
other day in the year.
It is not known whether Browns
ville churches will have Father#
j day pregrams, but it is likely that
j seme tribute will be paid him here.
! Thousands of churches throughout
1 the nation already have taken up
: the custom of annual Father's day
i sermons.
Orchard Heating Is
Crop Insurance, New
Bulletin Declares
<By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. D C.. June 13 —
| Orchard heating must be regarded
as a form of crop insurance, says
j Floyd D Young of the weather bu
reau. who observes that ‘ the ef
, fectiveness of orchard heating when
; properly compared with insuring a
1 house against damage by fire, for
it is reasonably sure that the fruit
crop will be damaged by frost every
! few years, while insurance on a
i building may be carried for a gen
eration without fire damage. As a
; general rule, during years when
I orchard-heating expenses are heavi
est. there is a shortage of first grade
fruit, which brings better than av
erage prices."
Farmers' Bulletin 1388-F. Frost
and the Prevention of Frost Dam
age. summarizes studies of frost and
of frost damage to fruits, and re
ports observations of preventive
measures in use by growers. It is
available for free distribution to
those who apply to the United States

Malicious Propaganda
No amount of malicious propaganda,
an insult to public intelligence and
good faitb, can sway public belief in
this fact: Lucky Strike is a blend of
choice tobaccos whose toasted flavor
thrills the taste, whose toasting proc
ess eliminates impurities, and, as
20,679$|fr physicians testify, makes
Luckies less irritating. Toasting
elevates Lucky Strike to a plane of $
quality w hich no other cigarette can ;|£|
approach. The constant care of ex
perts assures the quality of Luckies.
Its choice hv millions proves Its su
periority and is the truthful answer
to selfish claims.

Hollywood Warfare Predicted
As Equity Extends Its Control
NEW YORK. June 13 —The most (
interesting warfare Hollywood has
ever viewed looms on the California
horizon as the Actors' Equity asso
ciation (stage players' union*
launches its drive to retain control
of those members who have deserted
stage for more lucrative camera and
microphone.
Until this day the flicker Industry
has been notoriously open shop. To
be sure the hirelings of the screen
had their clubs and societies and
their Academies cf Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences and what nots, but
these were hardly labor unions. Ac
tors’ Equity is—and how!
The controversy was launched
with Equity's ukase that all mem
bers of Equity playing in sound or
talking pictures must not play in
pictures except those made by an
all-Equity cast, unless the members
had signed contracts prior to June
5. When these contracts terminate
the players are made subject to the
all-Equity cast ruling Equity has
also Issued a standard talkie con
tract for members' use.

Meat Packing Plant
In Valley Planned
By Arkansas Group
fo*. a meat Peking plant
to be located somewhere in the Val
hv a£n®unced hcre Thursday
by P. B Baker, who said he and
JS"ho have for many
ears been in the same business in
Arkansas, had definitely decided to
locate here.
"Hie plant would manufacture all
sorts of meats and accessories ordi
narily found in the meat market
and in addition would run two re
frigerated trucks to the various
wholesale establishments, retail
grocery stores and markets, and
cafes over the Valley. They also
would ship out meata by the car
load.
The move on the part of Equity
is not. apparently, an attempt at
conquest of the ranks of screen
players, but an effort to keep Equity
at least to Its present standard and
size. Introduction of the talkie into
I the sound field has robbed the stage
of a vast number of Equity players
and. until June 5. these were lost to
the organization.
Two noted women players, chas
I tised by Equity by suspension from
, stage work, turned their punishment
i Into profit by Immediately becom
ing movie stars. Such procedure
would be impossible should Equity
' gain its goal of 100 per cent Equity
screen casts.
One clause in the Equity contract
which should make a big hit with all
film players is one which calls for a
48-hour week. With the rush to
put talkies on the market players
have been called upon to work late
hours often into the night.
It is hardly likely that all this will
please picture producers who. here
tofore, had enjoyed complete control
of the industry. Comment from
’everal offices has Indicated the pro
ducers do not like the idea even a
little bit. So it looks as though
feathers will fly 'ere long_
Carry Secret Missives
Germany9s Silent Nine
BERLIN. June 13 —^—Germany
has a ‘silent nine" whose pictures
nobody ever receives and whose
names are never publicly divulged.
They are couriers of the foreign
office who carry the sealed diplo
matic pouches from the Oerman
capital to foreign lands.
Most of their trips are across Eu
rope or Asia for they are seldom
used for overseas Journeys. Gener
ally the captains of Oerman ocean
liners are employed on such mis
sions and their first objective on
shore leave is to the Oerman em
bassy or delegation.
Sometimes, too. the foreign office
does not care to take the risk of
reducing special instructions to
writing. In such cases a trusted
attache of the foreign office is
coached to memorize verbal orders
or information. When he arrives
at his destination he identifies him
self with a password and the am
bassador or minister personally
takes down the instructions as they
are recited to him.
In the regular routine, however,
the "silent nine" are employed to
convey confidential documents. Ev
ery month the code division of the
foreign office maps out their rail
way schedules and it knows day by
day where each man is. whether in
Kovno. Moscow, Angora. Tirana.
Rome. Madrid or London.
An outsider has little chance to
recognise these men for what they
are. They travel first class as they
are not expected to risk loss of their
baggage by sharing their railway
compartments with others. This,
however, is the only luxury in which
they indulge. They stop In good, but
not extravagant hotels, live un
ostentatiously, and never let their
baggage out of sight.
If a courier deems it essential, he
may request Vte foreign government
through whose country he is trav
eling. to surround him with spatial
safety measures, such as detective*
or police guards. This is a privilege
however, of which the courier take;
advantage only in rare instances
because his identity becomes known
to too many. Whether he carries a
j pistol not even the Foreign Offic*
knows.
The hiss Is the only sound which
has no echo.
