VACATION DAYS are rapidly
drawing to a close.
Youngsters who for the past three
months have been living outdoors
and through their contact with na
ture storing energy and ambition,
soon will be back in their school
classes.
Valley schools practically all an
nounce new courses, added faculty
members or other improvements.
Many of them will be using new
school buildings or additions to old
buildings.
This spirit of progress is giving
Valley schools an enviable reputa
tion throughout the land.
Valley schools are one of the fac
tors which cause many people to de
cide to make their home in this
section.
The men at the head of these
Institutions deserve a place in the
Incut rank of Valley builders.
TWO 12-YEAR-OLD Valley boys
are qualified Red Cross life savers.
They are Billie Clark of Weslaco

120,000 BALES
COTTON WILL BE
VALLEYS TOTAL
Hidalgo County Leads With 43,600 Bales As
Pickers Begin to Move North: Cameron
County 10,000 Bales Behind
_
r- -
(Special to The Herald>
SAN BENITO, Aug. 17.—With ap
proximately 93,000 bales already
ginned, the Valley cotton crop will
| reach a total of between 115,000 and
; 120,000 bales, in the opinion of D. G.
Boyd, vice president of the Valley
Gin company.
The final figure would have been
even higher if sufficient pickers
could have been kept in this section
to gather the last of the crop rap
idly, in the opinion of this author
ity.
Approximately 7,000 bales were
put through the gins this week, It
is estimated.
Of the total ginned to Saturday
night Hidalgo was leading with
about 43.600 bales, Cameron county
gins had handled about 32,200
bales, Willacy county "14,000 and
Starr county 3,200.
In Cameron county it is estimated
that only a little over 10 per cent of
the total crop remains to be gath
ered. and the picking will drop off
rapidly from now on.
Picking is a little later in Hi
dalgo county, and Willacy county
still has considerable cotton to be
turned in .
Showers today caused some gins
to stop, and in parts of Hidalgo
county there were heavy showers
Friday morning. In the Alamo sec
tion a drenching rain fell Friday,
and other parts of that county re
ported heavy showers, with some
rainfall in Cameron county.
The rain now will serve only to
lower the grade of cotton, and slow
up picking, as the crop is already
made.
Farmers in the Valley report
some difficulty in securing pickers,
due to the fact that there has been
a rush of labor from the Valley to
the sections where picking is Just
starting, north of here.

TOKYO. Aug. 17.—(/P)—Thrilling
the imaginations of the ancient Or
ient and eating up the miles over
the wilds of Siberia, the airliner
Graf Zeppelin today for the first
time got into touch with the goal of
its perilous flight from Friedrich -

Powerful Japanese wireless sta
tions at 9:40 p. m. (7:40 a. m. E. S

dirigible in the heart of Siberia
rushing on to Tokyo with a follow
ing wind which enabled Dr. Hugo
Eckener to cruise with three motors.
At that time, the Graf was esti
mated to be 2.270 miles from Tokyo,
or three-fifths of her total run, a
distance it could cover in 48 hours
in maintaining speed of 60 miles an
hour.
At 9:40 p. m. the Graf reported
to the government wireless station
at Ochiishi. Hokkaido, that she was
in 63.30 latitude north and 107.3C
longtitude east.
This was about 750 miles from
Vakutsk, Siberia, over which Dr.
Eckener was expected to pass on
his course to Trkyo. From Yaku
tsk to the northern tip of Hondo
island, the principal part of Japan,
by the western end of the sea of
Okhotsk and the Island of Sakhal
in. was roughly 1,600 miles.
