ft THE MISSOURI PACIFIC LINES
ftg Intend to see that railroad ticket
agents throughout the country are
1ft acquainted with the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
A Bolid trainload—250 of them—
are to be brought to this section in
October for a first hand inspec
tion.
This will be an important event
for the Valley, and.although the
railroad has arranged the enter
tainment and will be hast to the
party. Valley citizens should do ev
erything possible to see that these
men receive nothing but favorable
lagET'4 ssions.
J
The ticket agents will be from
points in the North and East.
Here many of them will discover
a hew vacation land.
After their return home they will
be in a position to speak with
authori‘y concerning this section to
prospective tourists who are in
search of "pastures new."
And when asked for suggestions
J they more than likely will suggest
¥ the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Ticket
agents dearly love to sell tickets for
long trips and a trip to the Valley
will be quite long from most of the
i places these agents will represent.
The Missouri Pacific can be de
L pended upon to see that all the
f agents are supplied with literature
calculated to support them in their
efforts on behalf of the Valley.

UP AT ST. LOUI8 a firm is
manufacturing a machine they say
Is a cotton picker.
Possibly so. but mast cotton farm
f ers will want proof before they be
lieve it.
1 There have been cotton pickers
»r*r! cotton pickers for the past
quarter of a century—and possibly
longer—but the old hand method of
gathering the crop continues in
favor.
More than likely someone sonic
day will perfect a machine to do
the l#-k which only men have been
able* to do in the past, but quite a
bit of proving will be required by
cotton growers. They have seen
heard of cotton picking ma
chines before, but they never have
seen one that would work.
• • •
This Bt. Louis machine—or rather
a photograph of it—indicates it is
simple in construction and light in
weight, two important things which
none of Us predecessors have been.
The manufacturers claim it will
I gather 10 per cent more cotton than
the best hand pickers and that it
a will pick cleaner cotton, thereby in
| creasing the price received by the
grower.
j. if these claims can be upheld a
part of the Valley's labor problem
! is solved. No longer will there be
i the necessity of importing large
numbers of workers at cotton pick
ing time.
!• • •
But there still remains the bean
pickers, the cabbage cutters and
various other types of workers in
the vegetable fields, to say nothing
of citrus truit pickers.
This is the machine age — al
though Henry Ford disagrees—but
the Valley is going to find labor for

Prosecutor John J. Chester who
started the cross examination late
yesterday, picked it up with the
opening of court today and soon had
the former Ohio State professor

the account told yesterday in direct
examination, and at one time as
sumed the role of Theora Hix while
i he and the defendant demonstrated
i to the Jury Just what happened at
the time of the killing and imme
diately before.
Dr. Snook repeated his denial
that he recalled cutting the girl’s
throat. The fact on which the state
depends to substantiate its charge
! of premediation which is necessary
for a first degree murder conviction.
Chester charged Dr. Snook with
having admitted during the ques
tioning that pre eded his arrest that
he had cut the girl’s throat “to re
lieve her suffering.” after he had
beaten her head with a hammer.
Dr. Snook denied it and Chester
replied:
“Then if we say you did. we are
liars.”
"Yes. you -.re,” Dr. Snook re
sponded.
Prosecutor Chester, in his cross
examination. followed closely to the
questionings put to Dr. Snook while
he was being held for examination

SAYS HAS NOT
ENOUGHFORCE
Mexican Authorities
Prepared And Other
Steps Taken; Move
Being Considered
The United States customs service
will not permit opening of the
Brownsville and Matamoros Bridge
company international bridge here
at present on account of the lack of
sufficient men “because of insuf
ficient traffic." according to Wm. A.
Neale, inspector in charge of cus
toms at this port.
Inspector Neale received a tele
gram to this effect from the treas
ury department at Washington late
Thursday. The message was signed
by Seymour Lowman. assistant sec
retary of the treasury in charge of
customs.
The bridge, which is also a rail
road bridge, was closed by Mexican
officials to vehicular and i>edestnal
traffic soon after completion of the
Gateway Bridge Co., bridge here.
Announcement was made some
time ago that the Mexican govern
ment had agreed to reopen the
bridge to vehicular and pedestrian
traffic and orders to this effect were
received Wednesday. Mexican im
migration and customs men have
been stationed at the Mexico end of
the bridge for the past two days
A. S. Gimble. general agent for
the bridge company, said he did not

Manchuria Reports
Heavy Bombardment
TOKYO, Aug. 9.——Advices to
Rengo Neas agenc. from Bunch'lll.
Manchuri. said the sound < heavy
bombardment from the direction of
Matsievskava had been heard since
7 a. m.. today. The inhabitants
were much alarmed. It was believed
here, how'ever. to be no more than
a soviet demonstration.
Rengo news agency dispatches
from Manchuri said there had been
a soviet “artillery demonstration" at
Pogranichnava. at the eastern ter
minus of the Chinese eastern rail
way. The go\er^ment had received
neither official nor unofficial re
ports regarding the alleged fighting
however.
Reports of breakdown of negotia
tions arising out of seizure of the
Chinese eastern railway \ ere not
regarded seriously since, as under
stood here, the negotiations have
been simply long distance telephone
conversations by which the Chinese
plenipotentiaries lave endeavored
to initiate conversations with soviet
representatives.

FARM AID IS
VOTED SOUTH
Request For Help Supplants
That of Great Wheat
Regions
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.—(/P)—
Agriculturists of the south, rather
than those of the great wheat re
gions. are the first to get a share of
the federal farm board's $500,000,000
revolving fund.
Recognizing the menace of the
Mediterranean fruit fly and the
need for emergency aid to minimize
the loss from its depredations, the
board’s first loan has been allotted
to the Florida United Growers and
the Florida Citrus Growers Ex
change to help those cooperatives in
the preparation of this year's crop
so it can be marketed.
The money is to be used to equip
distribution plants of the organiza
tions witji heating and pre-cooling
facilities to meet government re
quirements for treatment of fruit

to prevent spread of the larvae into
unaffected regions.
The request, of a group of Florida
citrus marketing associations for
several million dollars for organiza
tion purposes, meanwhile, has been
held up pending the working out. pi
a permanent, more unified cooper
ative program by them, and the
board turned Its attention today to
the problems of cotton organizations

The cotton growers' marketing
problem is regarded in many quar

the cotton growers' appeals, the

Bidding adieu to Uncle Sam. after
having been his guest for 16 dajs.
Lieut. Carlos Merlen and Col Miguel
Garcia Granados. Guatemalan good
will aviators, took wing southward at
7 20 a. m. Friday for Mexico City
on the final lap of their return trip.
The flyers should reach Mexico City
by noon. There elaborate enter
tainment awaits them among their
fellow Latin Americans. After two
days in the Mexican capital the
flyers will return to their homes.
Ending a vigil of several hours
during which time no word had been
j heard from them, the two flyers
brought their Ryan brougham to
earth at the Brownsville municipal
airport at 2:35 p. m. Thursday. They
j engaged rooms at a local hotel, but
declined offers of entertainment in
order to rest for the trip Friday.
There was a hint of regret in the
voice of Lieut. Merlen, Friday as
he and Col. Granados prepared to
leave Brownsville and the United
States for Mexico City on the last
thousand miles of their "good will"
! journey.
"It's been such a pleasure to be in
: the United States again: we were
received cordially everywhere.” said
the lientenant. who speaks very
good English and doesn’t mind
• using it.
If the fliers have been interviewed
many times on their flight, which
totaled 4.200 air miles as they taxied
' up to the hangar Thursday after
, noon they gave no evidence that it
j bored them. Both seemed pleased
I to answer any and all questions, but

Col. Grenados prefered to let the
younger flier supply publicity.
Their plane is a Ryan brougham
with a single Wright whirlwind
motor. It is painted a silvery
white, with two blue lines around
the center of the fuselage. The
name Guatemala, in blue, was
painted just behind the engine un
der the single wing. Airport at
taches refueled and serviced the
plane as the fliers talked to Prank
C. Gilmore, manager of the airport,
in the administration building.
Sixteenth Day
"No. we didn’t intend to fly on to
Mexico City Thursday night said
the lieutenant. "We will leave In
the morning after we get the weath
er report*.
•‘We've had a fine trip all the
way: spent four days in Havana,
stopped overnight in Jacksonville,
and then to Washington where we
staved four days.
“It is not difficult to understand
why Pres Hoover is so popular in
this country, and both of us agreed
Mrs. Hoover is one of the most
gracious women we ever met.
“We took her a present from the
wife of the president of Guatemala,
and messages from President Lazaro
Chacon to Presidents Machado of
Cuba. Hoover of the United States,
and Portes Gil of Mexico.
“President Hoover especially was
nice to us. He* talked with us for
20 minutes, a long time when it Is
considered how busy a man he is.
Dcasant Weather
“From Washington, we came to
St. Louis and Dallas, spending one
night at each place. The weather
has been pleasant throughout the
entire trip, but it was rather warm
at Dallas, where we found a heat
wave. The temperature here is just
right.
“It's a fine airport ydu have here.
That’s a real runway and a man
has to have good brakes or he’ll take
right off again.
“We will snend probably two days
in Mexico City before returning
home. We won’t forget the kind
treatment received in the United
States."
Colonel Grenados has been flying
nine years, having received his
training In the United States army
schools. Lieut. Merlen learned to
fly in Guatemala, although he at
one time lived in California for a
period of six years.

ZEP HALF WAY ACROSS OCEAN
ON FIRST LAP OF WORLD TRIP
(By The Associated Press)
The dirigible Graf Zeppelin, on
the first leg of her historic world
girdling flight, was more than half
way across the Atlantic today while
Friedrichshafen prepared feverishly
for her arrival. The air liner s exact
course was somewhat in doubt, but
from all indications she seen- ed 1 ike -
ly to reach her home port late Sat
urday night or Sunday morning.
Dr. Eckener. i. a message regret
ting his inability to fly over Ber
line on Sunday, informed the min
inlstry of communications he hoped
to reach Friedrichshafen on Satur
day.
The two latest messages on the
Graf's position at two and three
o'clock this morning eastern stand
ard time, indicated that the ship
had swung in a northwesterly direc
tion and had flown westward be
tween 30 and 40 miles.
At Friedrichshafen it was thought
that Dr. Eckener either was avoid
ing local storm areas or that the
messages were misinterpreted as
everything thus far received point
ed toward a fast voyage.
The Graf Zeppelin left Lakehurst
with 22 passengers. 21 men and one
woman, at 11:40 p. m. <E. 8. T.)
Wednesday. At 11 p. m. (E. S. T.)

making 70 miles an hour.
At 6:30 p. m. she had reported a
position 1,025 miles east of New
York, indicating that she had cov
ered 475 miles in four hours and 30
minutes.
In addition to the messages to
the navy department news ol the
progress of her flight was relayed
by ships which sighted the air liner
along her course during the day.
Among the ships that either sight
ed the Zeppelin or communicated
with her were the liners President
