He came to Edinburg to wire the Gov-
got to
ernment for help Red Cross, water

felt. I knew I was home just a day too
late. Then I went to pieces and the
man driving me said he would get me
down if it was possible. So we started
again. We got as far as Wesleco and
the rain and winds so bad, the roads
entirely under water that our car
drowned out, and we couldn't go any
farther. It was then about three in the
afternoon. It had taken we all that time
to go. Well I stood out in the rain
along the highway and finally a car
came along such an old thing it was,
as wet inside as outside with two
grown boys in it. I asked them if they
would take me to Harlingen They said
they would try. So I got in bag and
baggage. We go to Mdrcedes. The car
stopping three times in five miles. Then
the patrollman wouldn't let us go thru
to Harlingen because it was under wa-
ter and all the poles down, it wasn’t
safe. We turned back drove around |
the town a couple blocks, but I couldn't |
stand it. We went back. I told him I|
just had to go. He said he would like
to let me go but if anything happened |
he would be responsible and lose his |
job. I talked awhile and he said “You
get out here, one of our men is going
down soon and I will send you down
with him.” I did. We couldn’t get
down but went across by Stuart Place
to Primero and there at the store I
found my family safe. I broke down
and wept for Joy. No one knows the
anxiety and strain of that day and
night. Most every person had gone to
the big buildings for the night (Mon-
day) but our family stayed in our
house, and our house is the only one
on the Primero road save one that was
not completely destroyed. WHAT
PRAYER WILL DO. One other house
a stucco is standing but part of the
roof is off. All the trees in our yard
are down. Those big ones almost
against the house in the back all fell
but fell three different directions, mis-
sing the house. The barn blew off tak-
ing the cow and calf with it, but they
are not seriously injured. The one
Mexican house was entirely destroyed
The other one is standing but was car-
red off its foundations. The corn barn,
everything is flat. All fruit on the
trees and every thing under water.
The nice yellow house near Primero is
entirely destroyed. Some of their
furniture they can’t even find a trace
of. Harlingen is the saddest sight you
ever saw. Those nice brick buildings
just crumbled. The store where Fred
works, that I thought was so strong,
is entirely destroyed. Walls crumbled,
rof off. You just can't conceive just
what the city looks like. The big pub-
lic Auditorium, every one thought was
so strong, is entirely destroyed. There
are hundreds of people homeless and
pennyless. There is no water, lights
or anything. Mothers and babies are
around on the streets.. They were tak-
ing care of them in some of the
churches and one of the packing houses
that was not destroyed. The houses
that did stand, leaked like seives. Ev-
erything in our house is pretty wet and

A Bird Neighbor
The Barn Swallow
One of the most useful of all our birds
and likewise one of the most graceful
in flight, is this well known friend of
the farmer
The Barn Swallow which is steel
blue and reddish brown or chestnut on
the breast, may be easily identified by
its long forked tail. It being the only
swallow in this vicinity with that kind
of a tail it has given rise to the ex-
pression “Swallow Tailed.”
It arrived in these parts late in April
and departs about September first. All
summer it may be seen skimming over
fields and meadows in search of flies
which so sorely pester our horses and
cattle and vex the tidy housewife. The
Swallow has no song but keeps up a
musical twitter as it flies.
The Barn Swallow builds its nest
high up on a rafter or projecting beam
in a barn. The nest is composed of
mud and intertwined with grass. The
mud is carried from the edge of some
pond in small pellets on the top of the
bill and the nest is generally plastered
against the horizontal surface of a
board or beam. It is lined with soft
feathers and six spotted eggs are de-
posited

All BUNDLES
Must Be
Left at the
DOOR...
STRANGE ruling! WS a ruling that is ad-
hered to strictly by every church. The
bundles in question are WORRY, CARE.
They must be left at the door when you en-
ter your Church. And when you come out
again, the bundles will be gone! No mat-
ter how heavy your burdens, no matter
how long or‘ far you have carried them,
they will be lifted from you as you enter.
Remember that! When things are dark-
est, and you are weary, and the hill ahead
looks too steep, and you feel that you can-
not take another step, remember your
Church.
Leave Worry and
Care at Home
Your Church offers you strength, rest,
courage. Let your Church help you. Come
Let you Church help you. Come often.
Come in sorrow, but come, too, in joy. For
though the Church can make your sorrow
less bitter it can also make your joy more
sweet. Come to Church next Sunday and
leave WORRY and CARE at the door
