CZ4TTON.

Here's to the Brownsville Park
and Fair Association! The pluck
with which the association has gone
ahead and rebuilt the grandstand,
which was reduced to ashes by an
incendiary, and made all ready for
games to be played in the celebra-
ton of the Fourth, sets an example
that is in keeping with the wonder
full development now in progress in
the great Lower Rio Grande Valley.
With men of such zeal and energy to
push for her, Brownsville will con-
tinue to lead South Texas in enter
prise. This association is destined
to be a great factor in the develop
ment of this section. The baseball

and the entire valley, and also

it was organized The establishment
of a great mid-winter fair for the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, as well
as the entire section tributary to the
Gulf Coast line, and also for North
ern Mexico, which it is proposed to
make an annual event, will be the
greatest object of the association.
This feature must command the sup
port of all who are in any way in
terested in the development of this
great section. 1t will require not
only great energy, but perseverance,
as well as the ablest and most intel
ligent direction to carry out this
plan. Its success will reflect great
credit upon its promoters and upon
this entire section as well. There
fore it should enlist the cordial good
will and the enthusiastic support of
everyone having the least interest
here.

tOmOlOgist ID. L. Van Dine, Who
Has Been Studying Situation
Herewith Return in August.

There is very little trace of the
borer-the worm that destroys SUI
gar-cane-in the vicinity of Browns
vile. Such is the statement of d.
L. Van Dine, an eminent government
entomologist, who has been study
ing the situation in the canefields
surrounding Brownsville during the
past week.
Mr.. Van Dine, whose headquarters
are at Dallas, is an expert in the de-
lection and treatment of insects
that are injurious to sugar-eane.
He spent eight years in the Hawaiian
islands studying the diseases of SUI
gar-cane and is especially. well
equipped for this class of work He
has now been sent to Texas to give
our sugar planters the benefit of his
knowledge.
After a thorough investigation of
the canefields in the vicinity of

that there is very little trace here of
the borer, that pernicious little
worm which sometimes causes heavy

Shortstop Neiderman and third
baseman Zacha arrived Saturday to
join the Brownies. Neiderman, who
has been playing short in the Gal
weston league, is considered one of
the best in the business ranking at
the top in both fielding and batting.
He is a fast infielder, good batter
and a splendid base runner. Zacha,
who halls from Dallas is another
great acquisition to the Brownies.
He has played thirdbase on the st.
Edwards college team, which is one
of the finest in Texas, and is cap
able of playing league ball. He is a
swift and sure infielder, corking
good batter and one of the best base
runners in the state With these
two on the infield, the Brownies
now have an infield that no team
in the state playing amateur ball
can touch.
Today, for the first time the
Brownies play the strong aggrega-
ton from Yorktown, the game being
called at 4:30 o'clock this after
noon.

Certain monastic orders have en-
Joined the rule of silence. Figurative-
ly speaking, they have cut out the
tongues of their members. This is
a cowardly way of attempting to avoid
the sins of the tongue. The tongue
was given for use, and rightly en-
ployed, it is a minister of blessing.
Without the use of speech, which is
the most distinctive mark of man

A man seems to be at his noblest
when he is employing his tongue to
inspire, instruct, and lead his fellow
men. All the modern devices of print
ing and telegra ply and the phono-
graph cannot eliminate the work of
the platform speaker. Only a few
days ago an official Of New York
City who had been widely criticised
appeared in a public meeting to make
a statement concerning his public
record. At first he was Kissed and
hooted, but such is the power of
speech that before the evening was
over the fifteen hundred men and
women present voted to give an even
ing wholly to hearing him explain
his actions. That sort of thing has
happened times without number in
the history of public speaking. Citi-
Zens demand that their candidates for
office appear before them ia person
as witnesses on the stand, and with
their own voice express their purpose
