J&n. 24. — At the regular meeting Tuesday of the i Mercedes Citrus Growers unit, pre sided over by B. P. Byers, the fol- 1 lowing resolution was adopted: Whereas, at a recent meeting of , the independent shippers of citrus fruit in the Rio Grande Valley, a movement was Inaugurated by some of the shippers condemning the ac- < tion of the Department of Agricul- , tu in setting up a Citrus Control Board, and < Whereas, these shippers declared < their intention of refusing to abide 1 by the rules and regulations of the < Control Board and that they ex- i pec ted to employ legal counsel to i test the law authorizing the Com- i mtssioner of Agriculture to set up such an agency for the aid and as sistance of the citrus Industry, and Whereas, the citrus growers of the Mercedes unit regard the action , of these shippers as unfriendly to ] the growers and detrimental to the citrus Industry of the Rio Grande Valley, now therefore, be It Resolved by the citrus growers of the Mercedes unit that they deplore the action of these shippers and condemn their attitude toward the industry, and be it further Resolved that we heartily endorse i the work of the Control Board in its : efforts to properly distribute citrus fruit shipments and we offer our full cooperation In its undertakings i to improve market conditions, and be it further, i Resolved that we urge the citrus growers of the Rio Grande Valley , to arouse themselves to the impor- l anc of taking positive action In working out the problems of the in dustry. and we therefore call upon every citrus grower of the Valley to jo.n the Citrus League that is now being organize^}. We earnestly so licit the assistance of every grower in organizing a grawers unit in evegy community that has not organized, i and be it further Resolved that, Inasmuch as some < ot the Independent shippers have shown a total disregard for the in terests of the growers, we recoin- i mend to the communities that have ] not yet organized that they exclude every person, firm, or corporation ' engaged in shipping citrus fruits and . every director, and employee of such i person, firm or corporation from 1 their organization, and we offer the ] services of the Mercedes unit or any l community desiring to organize. f .1 ( 1 Janaary u, 1835—Stephen P. Aus tin’s considerate treatment of the settlers in his colony had endear ed him to them and it was their anxiety for his safety—although he «ras no longer in prison — that i prompted them to hesitate to open- 1 y declare their oposition to the mill- 1 ary moves Santa Anna was mak- 1 tng. Austin was truly, as many have < ieclared him to have been, one of he greatest, if not the greatest, of colonial leaders of English-speaking < pecple. One would Jiardly think it , probable that among the varied uses, mostly public, he had made of hi$ time, he could be found playing the role of cupld In the early life Df his colonization work. It is not unlikely, however, that unconsciously he did become a matchmaker when he conceived the idea of having un married persons in his colony unite in pairs and make one the head of a family in order to obtain a fam ily headright. Singly, they would have been entitled to only a small er tract of land. Austin's purpose was to piake tin the total number of families he had obligated him self to bring in as colonists. The ar rangement succeeded. It was for tunate, of course, for the contractin'* oarties. in the matter of land, and since through such make-believe partnerships, they were frequently brought In contact with one an other, it naturally followed that there were times when two hearts were made to beat as one in life's affairs as well as those of land.

(AV-BUU on more than a score of subjects were on the calendar of the Texas house Thursday while the senate found only a few items on Its regular or der of business. House . committees ground out much legislation Wednesday. Senate committees, hampered by adherence to the constitutional amendment al lotting periods of the sessions to specific purposes, held their bills in committee and prepared for further argument on suspension of the dras tic rules. The house suspended the amend Weslaco Plans Special Day Of Bargain Prices _(Special to Th# Herald) WESLACO, Jan. 24.— Saturday, February 2. has been set aside by the merchants of Weslaco as "98c Day." The merchants of the city are making arrangements to have for sale a great number of articles and combinations of articles for 98c on this day. Special efforts are be ing made to have attractive window and other displays of 98c values, and special efforts will be made tc offer articles of greater value for 98c on this day. Chamber of commerce officials state that people are looking for merchandise of val’te and not for Rifts. It is the opinion of the cham ber of commerce that events of this nature will tend to attract more people to the dty for the purpose ol taking advantage of these extra values that will be offered *-h»n any other program that could be ad vanced. Dollar Days are being staged to various cities to the Valley, but this is the first trade stimulating program carrying with it special at tractive values of 98c DANCE WELL ATTENDED HARLINGEN, Jan. 24— The dance sponsored at the Madison hotel by the Hardngen firemen was one of the best ever staged by this group, it was stated Wednesday. Lee Prause and his orchestra played and there were a number of enter tainers. ment at the start of the session and gave its comiplttees a free hand to consider any type of legislation at any time. The senate, however, adopted temporary rules that bound Its committees to consideration of only emergency legislation submit ted by the governor during the first 30 days. > Many bills regarded as highly im portant were approved by house committees and public bearings set for other controversial legislation. The criminal jurisprudence com mittee of the house set January 31 to hear argument for and against repeal of the law legalizing pari mutuel wagering on horse races and on bills to obliterate race bookies. The committee recommended pas sage of a MU to permit Jurors In criminal cases to discuss failure of a defendant to testify after elimin ating a provision that would have authorized district attorneys to com mend on lack of defense testimony in arguments to Juries. Under ex isting statutes a reversal is granted automatically where it Is shown the Jury discussed omission of a de fendant's testimony. Committee approval also was vot ed a biU to permit trial Judges to assess sentences, restricting Jurors' duties to determining the guilt of defendants. Another step was taken toward re-enactment of a bUl to aid hard pressed owners of real property in danger of foreclosure. The Judi ciary committee voted a favorable report to a bill to re-enact a law au thorizing district Judges to stay foreclosures proceedings in worthy cases, despite recent action of the state supreme court in declaring legislation of this type unconstitu tional. Sponsors of the blU said they would seek a ruling of the United States supreme court on the law’s validity. The oil, gas and mining com mittee planned to start hearings Thursday night on a biU to make existing gas pipe line operators common carriers. The bill is ad vocated by those who would give cities a source of supply for city owned distributing systems In event they are unable to agree with ex isting distributing companies on rates. The same committee agreed to start hearings Tuesday night on the contested gas wastage bills.
