16 QUESTIONS AND THEIR
■\ ANSWERS
'County Judge Oscar C. Dancy and
)lis associates on the board of coun-
ty commissioners are to be commend
ed for the energetic way in which
they are putting before the voters
every bit of information they have
’• that will permit of an intelligent
vote in the forthcoming road bond
elections. The county commission-
ers are the county's business mans-
gers. WThen the business manager of
any concern has an idea that he be
lieves the stockholders of h*s corpor-
ation should authorize him to put in-
to effect he goes before his stock-
holders jvith all the information on
the subject he cun gather and he
argues the point through until he has
1 * secured the itece«sarv authority.
In this case the voters are the
stockholders. The dividends that
the business managers hold before
the stockholders are not only the
tourists that will certainly visit this
section when first class roads are
provided hut dividends will come
further in the increased travel and
resultant business interchanged
among the various Valley towns.
And there will he the further ad-
vantage of this section being adver-
tised over the country as the best
equipped in the way of roads of
_ an¥ section in the United States
population considered.
The county judge has prepared a
list of sixteen questions that he be-
lieves the voters would desire ans-
wered for their information. He also
prenared the answers to these ques-
tions. They will appear from day to
day in The Herald between now anti
election day and The Herald com-
mends them to the careful thought
and consideration of every voter in
the district 'and the county.
“Why the Road District?” the
first question in the Road Bond Cat-
echism appearr in this evening’s
Herald. Be sure to read it.
A HOME BUILDING IDEA
If only fifty per cent of the busi-
nessmen of Brownsville recently ad-
dressed by Mr. R. C. Morris who
outlined to them a plan for reliev-
ing the home shortage in Browns-
ville would each undertake to build
a cottage a long step will have
been taken toward m 'oting the de-
mand for rent cottages. Work will
be provided for a large number of
men and a great many thousands
of dollars will be paid out for labor
dollars that will find their way
y. back to the merchants or business-
/ men or others in exchange for foods
and wearables and other items.
Most* if not actually all. of the
businessmen before whom this idea
4has been placed are in position to un-
dertake the building of at least one
cottage at a cost of from $2500 to
$4000. They are well able to fin-
ance the work themselves or their
business standing is such that they
should have no difficulty in ar-
ranging to finance the building.
And in this connection they should
/iot forget that the minute their
cottage is ready for occupancy the
return on their investment begins.
Sometime ago The Herald men-
tioned the fact that there is a con-
siderable number of young business-
men in the city who are renting
homes for their own use. If all
these businessmen would build their
own homes even that would go a
long ways toward relieving the sit-
uation.
Desirable building sites galore are
available in Brownsville. Every’
city convenience is available to
them. The material market is pro-
bably as low as it will ever get. La-
bor is now obtainable at reasonable
costs. >
Build a home—now.
NEAR EAST RELIEF
Valley farmers or others who
have a surplus of com kafir or milo
maize have an opportunity to par-
ticipate in the relief of the starving
of the Near East. The Agricultur-
al Advisory Committee Texas Near
East Relief of which Dr. W. B. Biz-
zoll president of the A. and M.
College is the chairman is inviting
contributions from Texas farmers
of all kinds of grain for shipment
at an early date to European coun-
tries that are desperately in need.
This committee supplied The Herald
with postal card acknowledgements
and other information concerning
the methods of making up earload
shipments and any farmers interest-
ed in the movement may obtain these
by applying to The Herald. The
United States government recently
appropriated $20000000 to be used
in supplying grain to the stricken
countries but even this vast amount
will not be 'uffieient to ia.nl the
demands oT the starring.
The pitiful conditions that are
described as existing in those coun- 1
tries are almost beyond the power
of the mind to visualize.
The need is beyond description.
Millions in Russia are dying of
starvation today.
Congressman Garner has taken up
the Valley’s application for a branch
office of the United States Bureau
of Markets with his usual energy.
May- success attend hi3 efforts.
r
Mr. Ford has a rival for the pur-
chase of the Muscle Shoals proposi-
tion. Competition is the thing that
will bring the government a good
price for this $85000000 expendi-
ture out of the taxpayers’ pockets.
May there be more and more.
Even cabbage at $17 a ton is ».ot
lad. A Valley acre produces say
ten tons which means $170. Even
six tons would be $102 an acre.
And the same acre will immediately
be placed in shape for cotton or
corn.

IS THIS THE MAN WHO RUIN-
ED THE FARMERS?
(Galveston News)
“The readjustment has not been
uniform. There is not yet estab-
lished a natural and equitable basis
for the exchange of goods for goods
or of the exchange of goods for ser-
vice. # Farm products in many cases
are now below the prewar level and
in some instances below* the cost of
production.’* The.e expressions to-
gether with the belief that the recov-
ery of the country depends upon the
recovery of the farmers' buying
power come not from Senator Tom
Watson or Jim Reed or any other
vitriolitic iritie of the federal re-
serve board but from the head of
that body W. P. (i* Harding hint
self. Instead of being ignorant of
these matters or indifferent to them
as his critics have charged hint with
being. Mr. Harding shows the live-
liest interest in them and sympathy
toward tho.~e affected by them.
Many demagogues have accused
the federrl reserve board of the
crime of “ruining the farmer’* but
no demagogue has ever succeeded
yet in conc erting v theory of motive
for the crime which would with-
stand a moment's examination. The
notion that hanks or business men or
anybody ely makes money out of
the ruining of the farmer is all
moonshine and nonsense. Mr.
Harding knows it and so does every-
body else who is capable of thinking
straight for a minute or two at a
time
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNI-
CATIONS
(Washington Star)
Postmaster General Hays makes
the suggestion that the name of the
Post-office Department be changed
to that of “Department of Commu-
nications.” Suggestions to that end
have been mr.de to the congressional
committee reorganizing the Govern-
ment departments and it is the hope
of the department that they will be
adopted the report states. R;»ilroads
and steamships also are means of
communications and motor trucks
are still another mer.ns. It is not
plain how the present postal ser-
vice of the country could rightfully
be called the “Department of Com-
munications’* until it comprised all
the obvious metnods of communicat-
ing-information and supplies from
one place to another. If this is the
ultimate aim of the recommenda-
tions it perhaps might he better to
withhold the bestowal of a .new
name until the functions of the de-
partment !are. enlarged to take in
the above named means of communi-
cation. How this could ever he
done is another question. For the
present it would seem well to let
well enough alone. The Post office
Department is one of the oldest and
most honored of American institu-
tions. The name “postoffice” is
dear to 100.000.000 Americans.
Through the postoffice come the
letters and other missives which
play so large a part in the daily
life of the people. There is rom-
ance there. But who would say
“Let’s go down to the communica-
tions office?”.
Haii's Catarrh Medicine
These who are in a “run down" condi-
tion will notice that Catarrh bothers
them much more than when they are In
good health. This fact proves that while
Catarrh is a local disease it la greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions

New 1 'ork Letter
NEW YORK Jan. 4—The best
known “cop” in the country las
just returned to private life
“Honest Dan” Cosligan fur
years a member of the N w York
City force. F-.- many years Cnfcu-
gan has been at the head of tJhe po-
ll;:.- ’.ice squad arid the purveyors
of vice in the city”s underworld
!tn;w the worth of “Honest Dan”
as most of its respectable citizens
do not. Costigan always objected
to the nickname given him by a
newspaper writer early in his ca-
reer. “It sounds as though an hon-
est policeman in New York was an
exception’* he protested “And he
isn’J. For every one who clips there
are a hundred that stay absolutely
square.” Ncver-thb-less there was
a stalwart fighting quality about
Dan Coftigan’s honesty that has
marked his career as more than or-
dinary and New York regrets to
*ee him go back to private life.

One more notable field of praise-
woithy achievement ha.* been added
by the Pulitzer prizes at Columbia
University. Cartooning is the new-
ly recognized art. The best play
the best novel the best news story
have all been subjects for the
prizes in past years . Next Feb-
ruary $500 for the best American
cartoon will add new zest to th3
competition. The cartoon must
embody an idea made clearly ap-
parent show good drawing and
striking pictorial effect and must

Tht* stage to the rescue once
more. Just when it semed to loyal
alumni and the public at large that
Yale must win a striking victory at
some athletic contest this fall the
Ziegfield Midnight Frolics met the
need with giving it first place in
its pogo *ace. If you ever tried
pogo you wouldn’t take that so
lightly. It’s the “jumping stick'*
game you know’ and stilts of our
childhood days were rocking chain
compared to this single stick which
one clings to and bounces along by
means of its hard rubber end. So
when the winner in the Frolics* race

The death of Lacey Baker for '
many years organist of New York 1
churches recalls some stories of the
blithe days when he first came to !
New York. He was very English i
and when the Bishop of Central
New York visited his church one 1
Sunday Baker addressed him as
“My Lord.” Th?Bishop expostul-
ated. ‘ ‘We don’t use such titles
over here*’ he explained. “But what
shall I call you?” asked Baker.
‘ Call me anything you like” said the
dignitary. When he met the organ-
ist before the evening^ service he
was greeted: “Hello Central!”
But what the Bishop said in reply
Baker never told.

New York is having plenty of in-
ternationalism in its dramatics
whatevei is happening anywhere
else in the land. The Hunter Col-
lege girls have just presented the
Greek play “Iphigenia” in the col-
lege chapel and the Chinese girls
of Barnard are getting all ready for
the production of a real Chinese
tragedy.

Another revival! But no one is
complaining. The revivals have
been among our most popular thea-
tricals this past year or two and
now that the come-back in question
is “The Chocolate Soldier” the
town and country will undoubtedly
rise in vociferous approval. Who
doesn’t want to hear once more af-
ter twelve long years the air and
words of “My Hero?” Donald Brian
and Tessa Kosta will have the lead
ing roles in the new' production
which will open shortly at the Cen-
tury TliCiider. qp
