ONE week from today it will nave !
been one year since the writer j

Vfc It has been his lot to live in 1
i idfcy places in the South and
* Southwest, and to have a pari in
newspaper work in quite a lew.
This is merely leading up to say
that when he came to the Valley
and visited around in H:daigo coun
ty he found a situation the like of
which he had never seen before He
does not believe many others had
ever seen a situation exactly like
it
He would be introduced to some of
the leading business men of one town |
or another. In a few minutes poll- !
tics would bob up and these same
big business men would be calling
names of other big business men.
and adding adjectives like • hor.-e
thW or -robber.” It was shock
ing to new ears.
SUCH feeling was engendered in
years ol political stuie. Today
k political revolution lias
brought a new order of control in
Hidalgo county. Hidalgo county is
Cameron county's neighbor and a
leading factor in Valley develop
ment. It was there that c'trus cul
ture was first nurtured. During the
strife, this newspaper sounded the
hope ot a day of peace in its neigh
bors’ front yard. It sometimes re
bounded like a “tocsin ol peace.
But red ink at that time could eas
ily have brought ferth red blood.
Todav the people of Hidalgo
county have settled this particular
election to suit themselves. There
fore it should suit the remainder ol
the Valley.
The Edinburg Review a bitter
jelee’lon foe of the party elected;
Tomes out today and otters to help,
the new office holders develop that
countv. That sounds like a new
dav, and of the tone of the remain
der ot the Valley has been hoping
t.o see throughout. Guidance in this
development is now checked up to
the new officials. Backed by so
many, as has been demcnstraied at
the polls, the new officials should
be able to do much. All should help
them all possible.

W. F.spey Albig. deputy manager

“When conditions in Industry and
employment are not- satisfactory.’’
he said, “there is a tendency on the

rived largely from wage? to go to
extreme lengths in safeguarding
themselves financially. They deposit
most of their income <n the savings

STEP TAKEN
Committee Is Named
On All River
Problems
(Special to The Herald.)
SAN BENITO. Nov. 6—Further
steps have been announced here to
form a broad organization covering
the entire American watershed of
the Rio Grande for the full devel
opment of all its resources.
Frank S. Robertson of San Ben
ito and H. L. Yates of Brownsville
have named a committee jointly
which will formulate a program to
aiouse interest in tire lower Valley
first.
Tins committee is composed of
A. W. Cunningham of Harlingen,
judge of the criminal district court
who leaves the bench in January
Clay Ever hard, irrigation man ol
Piiarr; E. C. Couch of Weslaco,
prominent land and business man of
Hidalgo county; Mr. Yates, irriga
tion attorney of Brownsville, and
Mi. Robertson, irrigation man oi
San Benito.
Suggestions Followed
Mr. Robertson was instructed, at
a mcetin- of irrigation interests ad- ;
dressed here by L. M. Lawson of El
Puso, American member of the In
ternational Water Commission, Uni
ted States and Mexico, to name
such a committee and Mr. Yates
v as given similar instructions at a
like Valley-wide gathering called b>
the Brownsville Chamber of Com
merce. In order that there might
r.ot be two committees with over
lapping duties the two men named
at, separate meetings decided to
name the same committee
The committee will be following
cut suggestions made dv Mr. Law
son a* the San Benito meeting that
.»>' organization be formed taking in
all those interests affected by com
plete development of the Rio Grande
and all of its resources. The El
Pa'O man pointed out that the Im- .
pcrial Valley got nowhere with its
quest for favors In Washington un- .
til it had a regional organization
representative of every interest in
volved.
Development Sought
It would be the purpose of the
proposed Rio Giande watershed or
ganization to seek the complete de
velopment 01 the river a>> its re
sources including creat
ion ot power resulting from storage
o' water and internationalization cf
Rood control. These and aliird
phases of the Rio Grande develop- .
nient would come under the juris- j
diction of the proposed organization.
Following educational work In the
Valley, the committee would extend
its activities to other parts of the
Rio Grande watershed with a view
of secur ng complete co-ordination
of all development interests
Equitable division of waters of the ;
Rio Grande between the United
States and Mexico is being sought
l\ an inn rnational water cornmts- j
sion and the proposed organization
would assist as much as passible in
this work Work on this matter
ba« b°en under way for a number of
years and although agreements were
reached on other international

WITCHES OUT
Famous Indian Runner To
Seek Tribal Cure
TORONTO. Nov. 6. —/P—Tom
Longboat, famous Indian marathon
runner, believes a witch is stalking
him and he can't shake him off.
Lying ill in bed here, the Indian
related a screak of ill fortune that
has followed him the last few years
and announced his intention of
seeking the help of a medicine
man of his race in an attempt to
throw the witch off his trail.
First, said Tom, he had his toe
I crushed, then his leg broken, and
now an illness which the white
mans medicine has failed to cure.
He said he shortly will visit the
medicine man at the Six Nations
Reserve at Ca’edonia. and if he
cannot effect a cure, he wi:i seek
the aid of the greatest of all med

so. buffet serving is the means of
melting down any formality which
might otherwise exist among the
guests. Several courses may well
be served in this manner. It is
easy for the hostess and pleasant
for the guests.
Cake Making
Several hints for making cake
that is light and fluffy were ex
plained in detail. Proper utensils,
accurate measurements and care
ful methods were stressed as all
important in making good cake.
Mrs. Ihrig said that the air cells
which are wnipped mto the various
ingredients of a cake must be pre
served. Whipping the cake "over’’
not "around", is the proper method.
The discussion of cake baking
led to some novel suggestions in
flavorings. "Two Rose Geranium
leaves placed in the bottom of the
pan in which an angel food cake Is
to be baked will add a most un
usual and pleasing flavor.” Mrs.
Ihrig told her audience. A combina
tion of one-fourth teaspoon almond,
one-half teaspoon lemon and a few
drops of rose will greatly improve

CHURCH WINS
IN WILL CASE
Appeal of Forto He!rs Is
Dismissed In Civil
District Court
A motion to dismiss the appeal of
heirs in the Mary Kingsbury Forto
will, which donated a small fortune
to the Catholic church, was sus
tained in the civil district court
Wednesday by Judge A M Kent.
The motion was sustained upon
the ground that the appeal bond
of the heirs from the probate court
was invalid. The Interests of the
church were represented by Hall
and Cox of Brownsville and Tarle
ton and Lowe of Corpus Christ!.
Mrs. Forto. who died here about a
year ago, left almost ah of her
property worth some $30,000 to the
Catholic church for the education
of young men to the priesthood.
The will was contested by the heirs
of the decedent, alleging that she
was not of testimentary capacity at
the time the will was made..
However, Judge O. C. Dancy ad
! mi tied the will to probate and the
, heirs attempted to appeal to the
civil district court. There is still
a possibility that the case will be
taken to a higher appeals court
following the dismissal in the civil
di'trict court Wednesday, it was
said.

“Without exception, northern
visitors commented on the cool
ni«' ts and the cool gulf breeze dur
ing the heat of the day,” Mrs. War
den said Thursday. “This seemed
to Emaze them, apparently they
did not expect to find such pleas
ant weather conditions here. An
other thing that elicited remarks
was the development in the Val
ley. It was obvious that many tour
ists were utterly Ignorant of con
ditions here, exnected to find cove
boys and bandits.”

usually of the wealthier class, and
come here for the winter. They
