Remainder of Mr. Norris’ le'ter.

**1 understand that men between

“I understand that during the
period of two weeks spent in tnc

charge of the men and that aftr

about the state in camp units of 200

purpose, and final decision will be
made by the administrator of tha
fund as to where the work shall be
done and the extent of it. I have
been asked by the Texas administra

of the projects. It is likely thst I
will be able to go. and. if I should.
Sou may rest assured that I «hall
e very delighted to present in us
favorable light as possible the work

ALL BRAN RELIEVED
HIS CONSTIPATION
Delicious Cereal Brought New
Health to Mr. Bartholomew
We auote from hi* voluntary let
ter: “i had considerable trouble
with my stomarh. Digestion was
out of the question. I got medicine
which gave me only temporary
relief.
“Then I thought of taking All
Bran. I started eating a cereal dish
ful two or three times a day.
“It has been over a year now
since I ate that first dish of bran,
but from that day to this I have had
the pleasure of enjoying the proper
functioning of the digestive organs.
“Thanks to Ai l-Bran. I still eat
it regularly and like it better all
the time."—Lester Bartholomew,
Cadillac, Mich.
Constipation is usually due to
lack of “milk" to exercise the intes
tines. and vitamin B to promote
elimination. All-Bran supplies
both, as well as iron for the Mood. ,
The “hulk” in All-Bran is much
like that of leafy vegetables. Cer
tainly this food is more natural
than taking harmful patent medi
cines. Two tablespoonfuls daily
will overcome most types of consti
pation. With each meal in chronic
cases. If not relieved this way, see
your doctor.

BUTT PRAISES
BAN ON GOLD
A gradual improvement in busi

hastened by the action of the
United States in going off the
gold standard by H. E Butt of
Harlingen, head of the Piggly

13 Valley grocery stores.
Commodity prices already have
, started to rise and that ruse is re
flected in advancing prices of all

The Valley Piggly Wiggly stores
are all owned by the corporation

rOMATO LUGSj
RULING HELD
DISADVANTAGE
(Snecial to The Herald)
HARI.INGEN. April 21.-Decision
of the railroads to permit lenc h
wise loading of tomato lues to
pemts m the southwestern rate ter
ritory apparently is a victory tor
Lhe Valley but in reality It is not 1
and the fight is being continued to ‘
obtain the privilege of shipping m
this manner to all markets, accoid
ing to Manager L. F Sewell of the
South Texas Shippers’ Assn.
May Re Disadvantage
He pointed out that few tomatoes
are sold in the southwestern rale
territory so that the privilege era r.*
"d at a recent meeting of the South
western Freight Bureau to load lus.*
lengthwise may actually we-> to
'he disadvantage of the tomato tn- ]
dustry. This is true, he said, be- j
cause tomatoes may be loan -d
’engthwise for shipment to a I
within the southwestern territory
and then be diverted to a market
outside thus area, incurring a 20
per cent penalty.
The carriers contend that the
damage is greater with lengthwise
loading of lugs but the shipoers' as
sociation points out that the rail
reads* own evidence nr*«fnt»d pt
^carings on the subject reveal that
the penalties for crosswise loan ng
are heavier than the averagp br“ak
age claims. The average breakage
claims are $38 but the penalty to i
various points for crosswise load
ing is much more than thL. Exa-''
nles are: Penalties of $45 34 to St.
L:uis. $51.17 to Chicago $64 48 to
New York and $67.39 to New Eng- ,
land pom is lor crosswise loading.
Issue Sidolopped
California may load either wuy
without penalty and although cross
wise loading is compulsory m Flor
ida there is no penalty attached and 1
shippers there only risk the chance 1
of being discovered shipping with
luas lengthwise in cars, Sewell said. 1
The matter has been taken up
with presidents of eastern roads woo ,
have been askea to remove the le
•trlctlons as an emergency measuie
but these have shown a tendency to
• idestep the issue. Sewell said, 'de
ceivers are co-operating and so are
.he Western Fruit jobbers and the
National League of Commission
Merchants.
A hearing oil the questic, was
held in Harlingen in May. 1931.
Pelache, Jr., Favors
Upkeep of Schools
Pete Pelache. Jr.. Brownsville
candidate for the state legislature,
has taken a strong stand favoring
adequate support cf the schcols.
‘•I favor obtaining sufficient
funds fo" upkeep of public schools
on a full time schedule with cash
cayr.’ont In full for teacher:.” he
states. "These funds cm be secured
bv diverting a pcrtlcn of the gas
oline lax.”
Pelache also opposes what hr
terms "unjust taxation’ of truck
drivers.
”1 heartily favor Gov. Ferguson’s
plan cf eiving necessary suppert of
the public schools,” he states.
