: New Commissiqiier Plans
To Put F^edman ‘On
Their Feet’
^y_
WASHINGTON, July 22.—(JPt—
y Charles J. Rhoades, new commis
sioner of Indian affairs, is charged
with the gigantic task of put
ting 350,000 red men “on their feet.”
It is the aim of Secretary Wilbur to
take them out of government care
and make them self supporting.
Not since Franklin K. Lane was
secretary of the interior has there
been such a drastic change in ad
ministration attitude toward the
Indians. They were given free rein
at that time and many, bv unwise
business moves, went into bank
ruptcy. *
With the new commissioner on
the job, the work of getting the
Indian out in the world and “on his
own” will be pushed.
Much has already been accom
plished in that direction. Last year
the Indians of the 200 tribes scat
tered over the country earned $1.
267.816 by the sale of blankets, bas
kets. beads, wood carvings, paint
Sncs and other arts and industries.
To enlarge the market for In
dian handiwork further a trade
mark design to be registered in
the patent ofPce is being consid
ered. It would suggest the crafts
manship of the Indian and would
be attached to ail articles they
make.
Pre-vocafional industrial instruc
tion is being given in the Indian
schools and the younger genera
tion of Indians now growing up will
be fitted to earn them way. The
instruction includes farming, car
pentry. blacksmithing. engineering,
fnasonry. painting, and harness re
pairing for the bovs, and home
training, cooking, sewung. launder
ing and poultrv raising for the girls.
Graduates of agricultural colleges
<>re superintending the farrning ac
tivities of the Indians. The Cool
iage dam now' under oonstmotion in
Arizona at a oost of £5.850.^00 will
supply adeauate irrigation for the
jPima Indians.

WAGE INCREASE
NEW YORK. July 22.—(J’l—
Henry Ford regards the $6 a day
minimum wage paid to his motor
factory employes as “certain to
i be raised" at “no very distant
time.”
In an interv iew published in the
current issue of the North Amer
ican Review Mr. Ford says: “It
is from the $5 a day payment that
! our real business dates. We think
j a minimum is safer than a maxi
mum. It prevents any possibility
of our slipping backward, while
it does not hinder us going for
ward. I regard the $6 minimum
as certain to be raised again at
no very distant time.”

Pacific Flyer Taking All Precautions to
Insure Success of Tokio Hop
«UV> - WA/.'.vr / OSW
Lieutenant Harold Bromley and his Pacific flight plane.
By Central Press
BURBANK. Cal., July 22.—Safety
features probably not embodied in
any former flight will help speed
Harold Bromley on his way when he
takes of from Tacoma, Wash., for
Japan shortly.
The Tacoma-to-Tokio flight will
be undertaken in a special low-wing
Lockheed monoplane powered with a
“superinspected" 425 - horsepower
Wasp radial motor. From tip to tip.
the plane has been “superinspected”
by Bromley. He spent long hours in
the factory supervising every detail
cf fabrication.
One cf Longest Flights
If Bromley succeeds in reaching
Tokio. his flight will be recorded as
one of the fastest and longest yet
made.
Cowling of the engine developed
bv the national advisory committee
of aeronautics will add 20 miles per
hour to the plane’s speed. Bromley
expects to cruise at 150 to 160 miles
per hour. Th° total distance will be
4.762 mi^s. Tf he succeeds in mak
ing that terrific pace, it would land
him in Tokio in approximately 33
hours, the time taken by Colonel
Lindbergh to fly two-thirds the dis
tance. from New York to Paris.
Unlike Lindbergh on the Paris
flight, who sat in a tiny cabin im
mediately behind his gasoline tanks.
Bromley will sit in an open cockpit
near the tail of the plane. Where
Lindbergh employed dead reckoning
navigation, Bromley will "shoot the
stars." using the navigation system
developed by Commander P. V. H.
Weems of the navy.
Although the flight extends nearly
5.000 miles. Bromley’s distance from
land will be about 600 miles on his
Icnges* over-water hop. He will fly
near the Aleutian chain of islands
around the Great Circle course.
Radio for Raft
Should he be forced down, a
water-proof battery will provide en- ;
crav for a small radio set. which he j
will operate from his rubber life raft.
Bromley will utilize three com-!
nasses. on the theory that not more
than one would "go hay-wire.” as he
expresses it. at any one time.

Genial Personality
Factor in Success
Of Valley Business
An example of the results that [
may be obtained by a combination
! of the best business methods with
i the personal touch is seen in the
Valley Waffle Shoppe in San Be
nito, one of the most popular eat
ing places in the Valley.
The concern revolves around the 1
personality of its genial owner and
! proprietor, Pete Govatos.
Opening as a restaurant and cafe
j specializing in waffles and coffee,
! Pete soon developed a business that
increased during the year and a
half that he has been in San Ee
; nito, with his reputation for cook
1 ery and service spread out to all
kinds of food.
The Waffle Shoppe was opened
in San Benito when the present
row of buildings of Hinkley and
Sublett were constructed, replacing
the old San Benito hotel.
The location was outfitted with
the neatest and most attractive fur
niture and fixtures, and was care
fully finished in well chosen colors.
A grand opening was followed by
a rush of business which has con
tinued to the present time.
Pete is one of the best known San
Benito business men. his restaur
ant being a regular gathering place
or social center at almost any hour
of the day. when business men have
their coffee.
Due to this fact the restaurant
specializes in good coffee, and the
reputation of this drink has spread
throughout the Valley.
A dining room in the rear part
of the space is equipped for per
sons who like more seclusion and
dignity, and more quiet. This din
ing room has accommodations for
100 persons, and banquets frequent
ly are held there, in addition to a
good pationage at luncheon and
dinner daily. Private banquets fre
quently are arranged in this dining
room.
The business of the concern has
been built up and maintained large
ly because of the high class of food
served, the cleanliness of the place
in every respect, the courteous and
efficient service, and the personal
ity of the owner.
Govatos is known as “Pete” to all
his friends in Sar> Benito, and has
a warm spot in their hearts.
FAIR OFFICIAL IS
COMING TO VALLEY
Fred L. Haskett, assistant to the
president cf the Texas State Fair,
writes from Dallas that he will be
in the Valley in a few days for the
purpose of arranging special trains
to the exposition.
While in this section Haskett is
expected to confer with chamber of
commerce executives relative to the
proposal to send an exhibit to the
Texas exposition this year.
Haskett is known in the Valley
as about a year ago he considered
starting a daily newspaper in Har
lingen.

SENEFICiARIES
Southern Mutual Life As*o
ciation In New Office
At San Benito
An organization which has grown
in the short space of two years to
such proportions as to place it
among the soundest of its kind in
the section is the Southern Mutual
Life association of this city.
The organization was formed two
and a half years ago, by W. T.
Hughes, as a mutual aid in life in
surance. It was later taken over by
the present owners, the present of
ficers and directors having been
elected last fall.
The officers are E. T. Morris
president; J. E. Bell, vice president;
F. A. Loveless, secretary and treas
urer, and Miss Alma McPherson
assistant secretary. F. M. Davis is
an additional dircetor, all of the of
ficers being directors in the organ
ization.
Dr. Morris, the president, and Dr.
N. D. Monger, also of San Benito,
are medical examiners for the com
pany. The law firm of Montgomery
& Bowie is legal advisor for the
firm. ,
Until recently the Southern Mu
tual Life association was located in
the Farmers State Bank building,
on Stenger street, but it has been
moved to the Bowie Trent office,
on North Sam Houston boulevard,
a part of the front of this office
being reserved for the concern.
Suitable office fixtures have been
installed there for the office force.
This concern operates as a mu
tual insurance aid. with no profit
to any of the members, directors or
of!'tors. The scope of its business
is indicated in the fact that it has
now on the records more than a
million and a half dollars in insur
ance.
Since it was organized the com
pany has piad out SI 1,000 to bene
ficiaries of deceased members.
Operation of this company as ex
plained by the officers, calls for a
small annual fee by each member,
depending on the amount of insur
ance carried, and assessments are
made when any member of the or
ganization dies.
In this wav a reserve fund is al
wavs kept on hand, and the fees ex
ceptin case of death are very small
to all participants in the benefits
of the organization.
Although it has members in some
other sections of the Valley, the
company was formed and is oper
ated principally as a local concern.

Harlingen Citrus
Trees Five Years
Old Transplanted
especial to The Herald'
HARLINGEN July 22.—Proof
that old citrus trees can,be trans
planted is contained in the fact
that 29 acres of five-year-old trees
were set out successfully on the
1.500-acre tract of John Laxon, six
miles west of Carrizo Springs. Tex
as. last spring.
The work was accomplished by
leaving intact the soil around tne
trees and digging a circular trench
at some distance from the trunk
and wrapping the roots so they
would not be exposed to the air.
The long roots then were pruned
off and limbs and foliage pruned
off sufficiently to offset loss of root
surface.
The trees were purchased from
the nursery here which makes a
specialty of handling trees in that
way.
HARLINGEN SCOUTS
CONSTRUCTING CAMP
'Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, July 22.—The first
of a series of scout lodges at the
Valley-wide camp near here have
been started, the Harlingen camp
being the first on which construc
tion was started.
This camp is under construction
now, and will be completed in a few
i weeks.
