H. McReynolds. director ol publicity from the main office in St. m Louis, and O. W. Williams, general agent in the Valley for the MoPac ‘ Attractive four color placards. ,,, about 18 inches by 36 inches, have been designed by the Missouri Paci ' flc advertising department for dis # tribution among retailers handling m Texas citrus fruit, McReynolds stat i; ed as he displayed the tentative lay 3, out for the placard. _ These retail dealer aids will be placed in the hands of all jobbers handing Valley fruit for distribu tion among retailers who buy Tex as fruit from them, and are expect to be received eagerly by the re tailers as a distinct sales aid to the disposition of the product. Thousands of the placards will be printed McReynolds said In addition, hundreds ol thousands of eight page pamphlets are to be placed in the hands of retailers lor distribution among housewives, the pamphlets containing recipe sugges tions for the most appetizing methods of using Texas grapefruit. The booklets are U> be printed in two colors The placards and recipe booklets will be distributed through the var ious agencies and employes of the Missouri Pacific lines and of the American Refrigerator Transit com pany. according to McReynolds. who stated that officials of both com panies were on the committee which made the preliminary plans for their publication. McReynolds came to the Valley to consult with the various sales fac tors in the territory and to submit copy of the placards and booklets to their inspection before publica tion. Some changes in copy and de sign sugg^ted in the valley are to be made, he said. The Missouri Pacific, vitally inter ested in marketing of the Valleys citrus crop, is taking this step. Mc Reynolds said, realizing that if next season's crop comes up to estimates, now being made, the Valley will have a major sized marketing prob lem on its hand and will be forced to undertake a real advertising cam paign. "We felt that this season, with a comparatively short crop, was the ■ time to make the start.” he stated Enthusiastic appreciation of the placards and bcoklets was given by citrus leaders with whom McRey nolds and Williams talked, includ ing John H.

M* Demand Must Increase “Based upon trees now in groves and the probable trend in produc tion capacity, it appears that pro duction during the next 14 years can easily average 15 to 20 per cent above that of the last 10 years and it is ndt improbable that it will average considerably higher. “If production Increases at an average rate three to four times as rapidly as population and the in crease in production of other fruits continues at a much slower rate, it seems inevitable that unless consum er demand increases more rapidly than it did from 1919 to 1933. the re tail prices of citrus fruit will have to decline to the relative level of other fruits if the larger crops are to be marketed." However, the price outlook for the 1935-36 season was said to be fairly I bright due to reduced supplies and i possibility of a better demand sltua I tion.

Each Taxing Body sworn to assess at no more than the actual value—but look at the picture. Beyond belief? Yes—but look at the palmed pic ture. Talk of the atrocities of the great war. Why. they were over quickly—the victims dead, but Mr. Barton and the others suffering from taxing atrocities—Just living a hell on earth—money gone—hope gone—fully believing that every thing they possess Is to be taken from them. Old age—Poverty. "O Death, where is thy sting”? Tell me, someone, are all these 59 taxing bodies in the county working for the people who elected them, or are some of them work ing for the bond holders? Must the bond holders, who often bought their bonds for a song be paid In full, though destruction is the result to all us tax payers? The total debt of Cameron coun ty (all taxing divisions) is around $25,000,000 on an assessed valuation of Real Estate by the county and state assessor of around $31,000,001. Broke? A merchant would be. But could we sell out for $31,000,000? Not even a drunken optimist with all that monew to spend would pay it. Do vou think he would?
