GOVERNOR"
(Continued from page 1)
vince anybody. A Wisconsin com
mittee is coming as in days of old
wner a group of men went to see
the promised land. We want them
to see the promised land which
lives up to its promises. I am con
vinced that they will go back and
tell Governor Kohler it is the gar
der spot of the American people.”
The governor launched into a
discussion of the virtues of the
Valley. He said. “The population
Cf the Valley Is 175,000. There is
a prospective cotton crop of 150.000
bales. Can you pick out any other
section where they raise nearly a
bale of cotton per person?
“Twenty-seven thousand carloads
of produce moved out this year.
Tnat is about a carload of produce
fm each family. Where can you
find a more productive countrv?
“There is no part in our state
where there is a more intense or
greater development than in our
: Velley section”
Rapid Development
Governor Moody, in commenting
on his ride through tins section, de
clared that he thought all the towns
ought to be incorporated into one
gnd called “the Valley” because
taey are so close together.
f “All the way it is a picture o!
rapid and certain development. As
tht people of ten years ago could
not picture the Valley of today the
people of this time cannot see the
Valley as it will be ten years from
now.
“Has anyone a right to speak
lightly of such a country,” demand -
* ed the governor. Has anyone a
right to destroy faith in such a
oountry I say they do not.’*
The governor declared that the
Valley did not need to talk about
20 or 30 years ago. He said that
wonders had been wrought in
places which he had not seen for
four years. He described the way
’the uncleared land looked at that
time and how he found it on this
trip, changed into a veritable gar
den.
Long Controversy
“The rest o! the world doesn't
know what we have in Texas nor
imagine what we have unless they
ocme down and see it," Governor
Moody said. He recounted the dif
ficulty he had in persuading the
Wisconsin committee to visit Tex
as. The committee was aopointed
by Governor Kohler at Governor
Moody’s invitation and attempts
were made to hold a conference in
St Louis. The committee from the
state whose real estate board barred
Valiev land companies is to viist
this section this month and secure
firs* hand information.
**1 am going back home with
larger impressions of the Valley
than I ever had before.” said Gov
error Moodv. closing hastilv in
order to catch the night train out.
The vouthfu! governor was in
troduced bv S. FInlev Ewing of
Harllneen. former schoolmate, who
read the preamble to the constitu
tion *nd bv-!aw* of the Valley Bet
re* Business Bureaus in whieh
purpose* of the organization w«re
ret forth. Mr. Ewing told of the
governor’s alwav* friendlv attitude
towards this section and how he
had taken no the cudgels In defense
of the Valley during periods of
en^eism

ROUGHAGE IS
ESSENTIAL IN
REDUCING DIETS
Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN Is Ideal
Roughage
If you are following a reducing
diet, it is doubly important that you
-ake a regular amount of roughage
.nto the svstem daily. Most reduc
ng diets ao not contain a sufficient
amount of roughage. The result is
lonstipatior.—thief of both health
ind beauty.
Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN is recom
mended by many doctors and die
titians because it contains the bulk
necessary to insure proper elimina
lion.
Also, because it contains the iror.
needed to help prevent anemia—
another danger in reducing diets
ALL-BRAN is not fattening. It?
sulk sweeps the system dean ol
ooisonous wastes—helping to pro
note glorious health and beauty.
A popular way to eat Kellogg’?
ALL-BRAN is soaked in fruit juice
Try it! It is delicious with milk oi
rream. Sprinkle it over cereals
salads ana soups. It adds flavor tc
looked foods and is equally effec
jve. Your grocer has Kellogg’;
ALL-BRAN. It is served in restau
rants, hotels and dining-cars. Madt

FRENCH FIGHT
HIGH TARIFFS
———
Industrie* Protest New j
Duty Increases As
Dangerous
PARI6, June 6.—{.P>—A letter re
questing that attention of the
United States Government be call
ed to anxiety of French industry at
proposed Increases in American
tariffs has been sent the French
Minister of Commerce. M. Flandin.
by the French Federation of Indus
tries *pd the National Association
for Economic Expansion.
The letter characterizes the pro
posed new duties as a prohibitive
| barrier to most of the principal
; French industries and predicts a
tariff was dangerous alike to
world prosperity and peace.”
The letter further refers to state
ments of American economists that
high tariffs will increase prices in
the United States with resultant
, dangers to the country’s prosperity, i
I “It is not for us to re-echo
these dangers, but we do intend to
call the attention of the American
government and congress to the re
percussions which the American
economic policy will have upon
American commercial relations with
the rest of the world.”
Further down the letter says: ‘If
America persists in the contradic
tory attitude of closing its doors to
foreign goods and at the same time
developing its importations, how
can America be surprised if France,
with other nations, decides to take
necessary7 protective measures’
The two organizations signing the
letter represent virtually all of
'French industry.

FIREMEN THINK
******
IT’S POOR JOKE
3omeor.e in Brownsville gets &
thrill out of hearing the weird
scream of fire sirens, of seeing fire
engines tearing up the asphalt.
Two false alarms were turned in
during the small hours of Thurs
day night, and the Centra! fire
station answered both alarms, only
to find that plugs had been pulled
with no fires to warrant the acts.
The first alarm was turned in
from Los Ebano6 at 2:18 a. m.,
the second from St. Charles and
West Fourth at exactly 3 o’clock.
The local police are working on
clues to determine who turned in
the alarms, it was said Friday
morning An attempt is being made
by city officers to eliminate prac
tical jokers turning in the alarms,
as it costs the city money every
time the department makes a run,
and there is always danger of
serious accidents resulting from the
runs, they explained.

: ONE PRESCRIPTION j
MADE FAMILY DOCTOR I
j FAMOUS
Seldom has any single act been
of greater benefit to mankind than
that of Dr. Caldwell in 1885, when
he wrote the prescription which ha*
carried his fame to the four corners
of the earth.
Over and over, Dr. Caldwell wrote
the prescription as he found men,
women and children suffering from
those common symptoms of consti
pation, such as coated tongue, bad
breath, headaches, gas, nausea,
biliousness, no energy, lack of appe
tite, and similar things.
Demand for this prescription grew
so fast, because of the pleasant, quick
way it relieved such symptoms of
constipation, that by 1888 Dr. Cald
well was forced to have it put up
ready for use. Today, Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is always
ready at any drugstore.

Bombay Nationalists Ask
Indians Not to Enter
European Stores
BOMBAY, June 6 —<;?>—Picket
ing of European shops in the Fort,
or foreign quarter of the city, began
today in accordance with decision
of the Bombay “war council” of the
all-India National congress.
Two volunteers, dressed in khaki
shorts and wearing Gandhi caps,
took their positions in front of each
of twelve European shops and urged
Indians not to enter. Europeans
were not molested.
A humorous touch was added to
the proceedings of one European
firm of outfitters which provided
stools on which the Nationalist
volunteers might sit.
British forces in the northwest
frontier province, centering about
Pershawar. were believed today to
be sufficient to meet an advance of
frontier tribesmen against the city,
but the situation was such as to
cause some apprehension of serious
fighting.
A large force of war-like Afrlds
and Azkka Khels was understood to
be moving up Peshawar. Unrest was
said to be increasing among tribes
further north.
Tuesday two busses returning
smpty from Subhan Khaw were
ambushed enroute to Shabkadar
fort almost within the limits
Shadkadar village The driver of the
first bus was shot dead and his
vehicle burned, but the second
driver escaped with minor wounds.
