I MELDEN URGES
I QUALITY FRUIT
Sr Growers Owe It to Valley
||j To Keep Product Best
||;;l On Market
(Special to The Herald)
MISSION. Aug. 7.—‘ Every citrus
grower in this Valley, whether he (
ships through the exchange or not
owes it to himself and the industry
to enter the coming season with r
firm resolution hat he will market !
or permit to be marketed or shipped
only fruit of a Quality high enough
to be an asset to the Valley. If he
will do that and keep his poorer
fruit and culls at homo, even if he
has to throw' them away, we’ll make
more money on the fruit we ship J
than we would if the volume was a
third more, but mixed with poor
stuff.”
That was the pronouncement of
T. M. Melden. secretary ofthe Tex
as Citrus Fruit Growers’ exchange
unday before leaving fo the inter
nal Jonal apple growers’ convention i
in Toronto. Can., and a month’s in
tensive tour of the markets of the
middle west from Cleveland to the
Pacific coast. Mr. Melden. who
keeps his finger on the pulse of the
brokers in the north and is closel'
advised on markets an I genera’
prospects, is optimistic over the
outlook for the comnig season, bu*
lie bases this optimism on a few
found principles—and the most im
portant one is iat of ouality.
Grievous Mistake
I “We made grievious mistake
last year in the Valley in letting
a lot of stuff to oi which not only
broke a firm demand and the high
ly pleasing prices we were getting i
but gave us a < ack eye in a lo’
of markets, and this right at a time
when we need to Luild up a repu
tation rather than destroy our pros
That’s why I say that ever'
L *r. but especailly those who sell
through Independent agencies or
market their own. fruit, be particu
larly careful 'o kt - the high stand- ]
arri of representative Valley cit- |
Mr. ’ lelden reaffirmed the posl- j
tion and policy of the exchange Ir
marketing the fruit of its members
which will be around,!.200 cars, anr*
said that the co-op would keep rjp
Its vigil of last year in seeing tha‘
only good fruit went out from Its
plants.
Into I v Markets
“We are going into new markets
til over the country this year. Peo
ple who have rever before eaten
our Texas sweet will have it on their
tables this winter. Our proving
ground is going to be the American
breakfast table, and it’s up to us
to introduce Valley grapefruit lr.
auch a way that people will demand
it over all others. We can only do
that by shipping quality fruit.”
The splendid connections already
established by the exchange will be
expanded five f dd this season. An
extensive series of advert isementt
have been prepared for the ex
change by Tracy, Locke Dawson,
advertising agents of Dallas adver
tising agents of Dallas, and these
will be carried .n large daily news
papers to spr**" •* the gospel of su
perior quality abroad i 1 the land
The exchange is leaving nothing
undone to insure its members max
imum returns.

ARCADIA—HARLINGEN
The “voice fade-out.” a clever
mechanical arrangement by which
the voice of a screen player in a
talking picture may be made grad
ually to fade out and correspond
to the action he is describing, was
evolved by Director Howard Higgin
and Benjamin Glazer. head oi
Pathos sound department, for use
in “The Leatherneck” William
Boyd's new Pat he dialogue and
sound picture, which will be on
view at the Arcadia at Harlingen
4 days starting Thursday.
Somewhat similar to the film
dissolve, by means of which one
scene is made to gradually fade out
and Into another, the "voice fade
out” achieves an effect that now
makes it possible to film scenes
which have heretofore been barred
to the makers of talking pictures
Through its use it is even possible
to show a player talking, then slow
ly dissolve into the scenes he is
talking about and hear his voice
describing the action that Is be
ing shown simultaneously on the
screen.
In “The Leatherneck” the voice
fade-out is used effectively, for the
picture concerns the courtmartial
of William Boyd, an American ma
rine, for desertion. As Boyd ex
plains his side of the case, the spec
tator's ears absorb just what their
eyes are seeing and a splendid
combination of pictorial action and
vocal dr:.ma Ls the result.
Surrounding William Boyd is a
cast which includes Robert Arm
strong. Alan Hale, Fred Kohler
Diane Ellis. Wade Boteler, Jules
Cowles. Jimmy Aldine and others.

relieved of gas in stomach and
bowels, take Baalmann's Gas Tab

fects resulting from gas pressure.

pear; that anxious, nervous feeling

and you will again be able to take
a deep breath without discomfort.
That drowsy, sleepy feeling after
dinner will be replaced by a desire
for entertainment. Bloating will
cease. Your limbs, arms and fing
ers will no longer feel cold and “go
to sleep” because Baalmann’s Gas
Tablets prevent gas from interfer
ing with the circulation. Get the
genuine, in the yellow package, at
any good drug store. Price $1. Al
