VALLEY
LABOR DAY is over and laborers
—from bank presidents to field
workers—can return to their labors.
The day in the Valley consisted
mostly ol a holiday from toil—an
outing which in most Instances was
spent in hunting, fishing, bathing,
boating, golfing, or one or more of
the many recreational opportuni
ties afforded in the Valley.
About the only public attractions
were a fight card at Reynosa and
a rodeo at Mercedes.
• • •
But Labor day in the North and
East is quite a different affair.
There it is a real holiday—pa
rades. band concerts, enormous pic
nics. speeches and sometimes free
for-all fights that almost assume
proportions of a riot.
Although showers of rain some
what marred the day in the Valley,
It was a happy day on the whole.

PILOTS, aviation mechanics and
airplane experts at the municipal
airport here are anxiously follow
ing the condition of Lady Mary
Heath, seriously injured several
days ago when her plane fell
through the roof of a building.
Some of them have worked on
her plane at one time or another,
some of them have been in the air
with her, many of them have met j
her.
/>HU all of them are strong for
her. 1
• She is a fine woman, a good
•port and a real pilot, 'they all say. j
' *1Hie can and wsu?!f anything
that will fly," the pilots say.
“She knows airplanes and appre
ciates good work," say the me
chanics.
“I have worked on her plane and
she is one of the finest aviators I
ever knew," says J. F. Roberts, of
the Mexican Aviation Co.
All of them are praying for her
rapid recovery.

TftlS IS A WEEK of great im
portance to landowners in the dis
trict served by the American Rio
Grande Lar.d and Irrigation Co.
and the towns of Mercedes, Wes
laco, Edcouch.
On Saturday an election is to be
held which will determine the fu
ture of that irrigation system—the
largest privately owned project in
the world, it is claimed.
Farmers of the district will vote
on the proposal to issue and sell
$3,500,000 in bonds with which to
purchase the system and to make
improvements.
Those who favor the bond issue
and those who oppose it have an
nounced they will hold meetings
throughout the district.
If the issue carries the district
will be organized as a farmer-owned
and operated system and the last
irrigation works in the Valley will
have passed from private to public
ownership.

APPLE GROW’ERS up In the
state of Washington, through their
cooperative associations are placing
in the hands of retailers a slot
machine apple-vending device.
Drop a nlckle in the slot and get
your apples. That sort of thing.
Perhaps this is an idea for the
Valley.
Why not grapefruit-vending ma
chines. or orange-vending ma
chines?
Such a device might sene to
greatly Increase the consumption of
grapefruit.
Here is an idea that may be
worth a million.
Some Valley live-wire might place
these machines throughout the
United States.

Britain Won’t Build Against U. S.--MacDonald
- -*___
AGREEMENT TO
CONTAIN THREE
MAJOR POINTS
_
Disarmament Address
Before League of
Nations Heard With
Interest
GENEVA. Sept. 3— m —The
British government "declines abso
lutely to build against the United
States," declared Prime Minister
Ramsay MacDonald in his dis
armament speech before the
League of Nations assembly today.
"That is not only* the word of a i
labor government; I think I can
say it is that of a conservative
government.’’
MacDonald announced the Anglo
American naval agreement prob
ably would contain twenty points.
I "Only three of these points are
outstanding," he said. He express
ed belief the agreemnt would be
completed before adjournment of
! the league assembly.
The labor premier announced
i Great Britain had decided to sign
! the optional clauses for adherence
to the world court. He believed all
units of the British commonwealth
would do likewise.
An atmosphere of expectancy
pervaded the league assembly when
the British labor leader began his
address.
The work of the league will go
forward and establish the foun
dations of world peace and the
problem of the League of Nations
is the problem of security, he said.
"The pact of peace is still a cas
tle in the air and the work of the
league is to build a foundation for
it," said MacDonald.
MacDonald declared he never be
lieved the Hague conference could
or would fail.
Commenting on the situation in
Palestine, MacDonald said the trou
ble was not a racial conflict be
tw'een Jew's and Moslems but mere
ly an uprising based on lawlessness
and disorder. Great Britain, he
said, as the mandate power under
the league, will investigate and
find a remedy to prevent recur
rence of the outbreaks.

Fort Worth Man Tel's Brookhart Oil
Companies Seeking Control of State
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—{JPy—Fred W. Stvang, Port Worth oil promoter, was called upon by the
senate patronage investigating committee to submit a list of witnesses and specific charges after his asser
tion today that oil companies were seeking control of the state and federal government machinery in Texas.
Chairman Brookhart. sole member of the committee to hear Strang, informed the Texan he would
consider a future course after submission of a list of witnesses.
Strang, under indictment for using the mails illegally, declared the numerous citations against Texas
oil men were "generally considered a smokescreen.”
"No one can deny there has been some crooked promoters in Texas," he said, ‘but at the same time no I
one can deny that these men, who have owned all kinds of property, are now bankrupt, They are fighting
law suits and receiverships.”
Senator Brookhart asked: "Is this your idea that the oil companies are seeking control of the state
and national government in Texas?”
"There is no doubt of it,” replied Strang. "The f urther you go into it, the further it extends. There
is no stopping place.”
The Texan also asked consideration of Henry Zweifel. former district attorney at Fort Worth, who he
said, “entered office a poor man and now is considered wealthy.”
He did not explain this statement, merely suggesting that the committee inquire into it.
Senator Brookhart said he would determine his future course after going over Strangs list of witnesses
and charges.

pointed out by the police depart
ment. Judge A. A. Browns of the
city corporation has stated that
there will be no exceptions in cases
of this character. All violations
will be fined.

partures that will minimize the
possibilities of children being in
jured. Last year not one accident
occured in the vicinity of the main
school building. Supt. Gotke Is
anxious that this record not be
marred.

children and will not allow them
to overload cars or drive carelessly.
Slow signs to be placed in the
streets around the schools are now
being obtained by the police de
partment.

filing of charges against heads of
state hospitals for violation of the
9-54 hour law for women workers
