It raid the speed-up had raised
“production demands beyond human
capability to produce day after
day." that spies kept watch on work
ers "day and night’* and that men
are virtually forced to quit work at

'Labor unrest exists to a higher
degree than warranted by the de

proved one designed to spread work.

Fire Prevention In
Valley It Praised
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN Feb 8—Valley
towns have a big advantage over
many others in that as much fire
fighting equipment as boasted b>
many large cities can be assembled
in mo6t of them within 30 minutes.
! said Lee D. Olive, assistant state
fire marshal who is in this section
looking over fire hazards.
He pointed out that if any Valley
city had a conflagration that equip
ment from other towns could be as
sembled hurriedly beeau&p they are
so near.
There is much room for improve
ment in preventing fires in the
: United States, he said. The annual
'per capita loss is *4 80 while in no
other country is the lots as high as
II.
Mexico and China, where a man
I must prove that he did not set fire
| to his own property, do not have
many fires Mr. Olive went to Mata
, nioros for the purpose of inspecting
! its fire department and was sur
prised to find that there was none.
Mr. Olive was high in his praise
of conditions in the Valley, saying
that conscientious efforts were being
made to eliminate fire hazards and
'that equipment w-as kept in good
I condition.

Something Wrong
SHARON, Penna — Mrs Louise
Shank doesn * know what to do
about her pear tree.
In the middle of winter it burst
into full bloom. Then the zero
weather blackened the blossoms.
Mrs Shark believes the pear crop
this season will be scanty.
Snow Remotal Made Easv
NEW’ YORK — For removing
snow and ice from in front of your
house there s nothing like a blow
torch.
Mrs Laura Baxsewitz was sum
moned to court for failure to
clear aw-ay the ice and snow at
her home, but she was given a
| suspended sentence when a police
man testified he saw her husband
clear the pavement with a blow
torch.
“Every home should have a
blowtorch," said Magistrate Mark
Rudich.
“ALL-BRAN FORMS
MAJOR PORTION OF
MT BREAKFAST”
Delicious Cereal Relieved His
• Constipation*
Read Mr. Huyghe's voluntary
letter: “After suffering1 for years.
I happened to notice in the grocery
a box of All-Bran. I determined
to give it a fair trial.
“Today it forms the major por
tion of my breakfast. I cannot say
enough for its effect, as I am a man
58 years of age, at the time in life
when one needs just what All
Bran does for you.”—Mr. Robt.
A. Huyghe, 810 Union St., New
Orleans, La.
• Constipation due to insufficient
"bulk” in mtaU.
Research shows that Kellogg's
All-Bran furnishes “bulk” to ex
ercise the intestines. All-Bran
also supplies vitamin B and iron.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu
ally sufficient. With each meal, in
serious cases. If not relieved this
way, see your doctor.
The “bulk” in All-Bran resists
digestion better than the “bulk” in
leafy vegetables. How much better
to use this gentle food in place of
patent medicines.

TRADE HOLDS
TO UPTRENDS
NEW YORK. Feb. 8—vT— The
advancement recorded for practlc*
ally all branches of trade since the
turn of the year is carrying with
it each week more convincing
proofs of a general definite revival.
Dun Bradstreet's weekly trade
review says.
After the brief interruption, at
tributed entirely to the severe
weather conditions prevailing in
many parts of Use country, "there
now is more uniformity to the ris
ing trend.” the agency says, with
production and distribution about
at an even pace, although the
favor still leans towards the for
mer.
"With current developments re
vealing no indications of a letup
m the improving conditions in
agricultural communities or in the
con "Cant enlargement of factor
and mercantile pay-rolls ’ the re
new said, "preliminary estimates
on the volume of spring trade are
ranging from 10 to 25 per cent in
excess of the 1934 figures, when
the selling season was curtailed by
the early date on which Easter fell."
Dun A: Bradstreet's business
activity barometer for the first
week in February stood at 73.6 or
17.2 per cent higher than in the
same week last year.
