To Cut, or
| MOI TO Cut
That Is the Principle.

q July, known to the almanac makers as
the " fiery month" with its feeling of
ennui, is here sure.
q Many store keepers imagine that the
still small needs of the public cease when
the heated term begins, and they think
that cutting" their advertising is neceS-
sary TO save expenses.
Q The still small needs of the public are
just as great in July as any other month
of the year; in fact they are greater, be-
cause most people need "extras" for their
going away trip.
q In these days of competition, no mer-
chant can afford to "cut' his advertising
on the principle that people don't need
anything" in the summer months, or
that their needs are not so great.
q The other merchants in that other city
don't work on this principle. They are
constantly knocking at the doors of thouS-
andS of homes---day after day. in season
and out of SeaSon---fOr trade. It's always
that knock for that still small need. Don't
stop advertising, don't cut advertising,

MISTAKES IN TITLES.

DO With cupid's Franks.
It is interesting TO collect certain Of
the instances of mistakes in regard to
the titles Of books Thus the old farm
er who asked for 'Edgworth on Irish
Bulls" got no doubt something he did
not expect. and the dainty youth who
applied for Loves Discourses" did
not really wish n volume of sermons
by Christopher Love. If application is
made by messenger. mistakes of a DIFF
ferent sort may occur. An excita bic
boy once asked for Bishop Cocks and
Hens Earnest Communicant;" he
meant Bishop Oxenden's. Similarly by
Warne's Moral Cookery" he meant
his "Model Cookery" A maid forgot
all about the title of the book she had
been sent for except that it was
something like tomato soup" She
was served with "Red Pottage."
1t may have been a fault of pronun-
ciation on the part OF the purchaser
who asked for rubber bands" that he
received a copy of Robert Burns" but
1t was certainly the bookseller who
was at sea who referred an applicant
for Vegas Logarithmic Tables" to the
furniture department" In cataloguing
booksellers frequently err. Thus Mr..
MADAM. the Oxford scholar. who wrote
grammar and dictionary OF the Swa-
hell language. had those works cata-
logued as Madam Swahelrs Gram
mar and in the line beneath. "Do. do.

Mr.. Lucas. "A Swan and Her

Cameron countys taxable values
have been increased 1,S43, SCI over
last years returns, and the tax rate
has been decreased seven cents as
compared with the rate levied last
year. This was done at yesterdays
session of the county commissioners
court. The increase is due naturally
to the continued development of the
valley lands through the construc-
ton of irrigating canals and also to
/ the settlement and development of
4 the lands along the canals.
st. l.. b. & NJ. Ry. Value Shrinks.
Had it not been for the very con-
/ siderable shrinkage in the valuation
placed upon the property of the ST.
/ Louis, Brownsville & Mexico rail-
road, the increase would have been
much larger The railroad proper
I ty, however, was reduced from $14,-
4 099 to $4,000 a mile, which made
quite a slump in county values.
The total valuation placed or he
property of the ST. L. B. e. NJ all
road company in Cameron county by
the court, is 1884 less than the
valuation placed on the same prop
erty by the board in 1908. Last year
the valuation per mile as fixed by the
county commissioners, was $4,000.
This year the railroad officials render
ed their property at $4,000 per mile,
but the commissioners raised the val
uation, placing it at $4,000 per
mile The total valuation of the
property as fixed last year by the
commissioners court was 1,877,264.
This year the valuation on the same
property was placed at $1,317, S02.
Last year the rolling stock, and other
equipment, etc, of the company were
valued at S1S4,028. This year their
value was fixed at $182,757, de-
crease of S1,271. This year the in
/ tangible assets of the company show
sets last year were valued at
$9,S44. This year they were val
ued at S11,5S0, or an increase of
$1,736 over last year.
The tax rate for this year was
fixed at 46 cents on the 500 valua-
ton, a reduction of seven cents on
that of last year, which was fifty
three cents on the 500. The re-
duction was made in the ad valorem
tax, which was reduced from 20
cents, the rate last year, to 10 cents,
and the tax on bonds, which was re-
duced from cents, the rate last
year, to 2 cents.
The valuation of all property in
the county was fixed at S10,615,193,
or an increase over last year of ST.
S43,561.
The taxes were apportioned among
the different funds as follows:
AID valorem 16 cents on the 500;
road and bridge Is cents on the 500;
public building and improvements,
10 cents on the 500; debts incur
red prior to September 1883, 2 cents

FIRE ORDINANCE
MAYOR CoALBE THINKS TOWN
LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE ONE.
Thinks Question Will Probably Come
Before Council Before Very Long.
Expects to Adopt Stock Ordinance
Next Meeting.

Brownsville is now large enough
city to have an ordinance establishing
fire limit stated Mayor Combe
yesterday, in response to a question
asked him by a Herald representa-
tive in regard to his opinion of an
ordinance of this character for
Brownsville. Further than that the
mayor refused to discuss the ques-
ton, stating that he did not care to
make public his views on the ques-
ton before the matter was taken up
in due form by the city council.
81 will say. however, continued
Mayor COmbe, that in all probable
ity the matter will come up before the
council before very long, but
what action will be taken by that
body l am not prepared to say, as it
has never yet been taken up" He
also stated that he was very anxious
for council meeting to be held yes
terday, but that it was impossible to
hold one, as several of the aldermen
were out of town, and the few who
were here were so occupied with bust
ness matters that it was impossible
for them to attend the council, had
a meeting been held. Next Monday
he hopes a regular session will be
held.
The mayor said further that among
the important business to come be-
fore the next meeting will be the
adoption Of stock ordinance and
ordinances regulating the butcher
shops of the city, as well as one per-
tanning to the slaughter house.

will doubtless be appreciated.
