is also assumed that the property val
uation will he the same a. last year

The special aid given by the legis-
lature will give each teacher in the
state an average increase Of $l33 "A

ing $3.20 to the per capita apportion-
ment. "The most poorly paid teach

FIRST BALE GRADE
BEST In ten YEARS
San Benito Man, Returning
From Houston, Delighted
With Reception There.

Brice Frazier. member Of the party
of San Benito men who last Friday
chartered special train from Kings
Vile in order TO get the San Benito
bale into Houston ahead Of the Edin-
burg bale. arrived i'm Brownsville to-
day from Houston greatly pleased with
the reception given the Valley men.
Members Of the Cleveland firm
and their opinion was supported by
that of other cotton exchange men
told US that this seasons first bale
graded up better than any first bale
that has reached Houston in ten
years" said Mr. Frazier. Ordinarily
the early cotton does not grade up
so well as that later in the season,
and Of course, we were also pleased
with that showing.
The advertising was. Of course.
what we were after. and we obtained
lots Of il through getting the first
bale to market. The Houston papers
published excellent stories. giving the
Valley credit for production of the
bale, and one paper informed us that
on next Sunday they will publish a
full page picture of the cotton bale
and other scenes in connection with
their rotogravure section. We also re-
ceived several fine editorials. The
cost Of the special train was 81 ,060
and the bale was sold for 81 800 on
the cotton exchange
John T. Lomax. who accompanies
the Edinburg bale to New Orleans
said that some difficulty was found
in arranging the sale there. as the
New Orleans cotton men were found
not to be interested in Texas cotton.
This was the first time that Texas
bale was taken to New Orleans for
sale on the exchange there.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION OPENED TODAY
A LAST APPEAL
To the citizens of Brownsville:

u tnc VI ofoWnsNtucs
At a meeting of the finance com.
mittee of the Community Service
board held this morning. IL was an
nounced that only $500 has been rails
ed as yet for the continuance Of the
service here. This leaves us $500
short Of the necessary amount. II
this amount is not raised by June 30,
the community house will be close d
at once and the service discontinued
here.
- The committee decided to make a
last appeal to the public spirit and gen.
erosity Of the people Of Brownsville.
Do you know that at the Commun-
ity house and at the club room of the
Federation Of Women's clubs in your
city you have now property belonging
to the Community Service. Inc, Of
New York. worth $4,000. That the
use Of these furnishings will be yours
for the nominal sum Of 81 Cone dollar }
per year, if you continue &c maintain
this service here?
The community house is not only a
community center, where everyone in
the town is welcome, but il also af-
fords a rest room for out of town Wis
itors. The library, with hundreds Of
books. reading room and writing
table, are ooen to the use Of any who
use them properly The soldiers who
are in your midst have found these
things a blessing place to GO and
while away their time off duty in
reading or in harmless amusement. or
in writing letters.
No less than a dozen visitors from
out Of town were at the Community
house last week, finding there COM
fort and convenienees so grateful to
these who are here for a few hours at
a time, with no place to GO.
What a convenience the Community
house has been for the accommodation
Of the Chamber Of Commerce forum
meetings. What a convenience for
the district convention of the women's
clubs a few months ago. Who can es-
innate the real benefit the community
Under the present plans, the use
Of the community house is to be given
to the soldiers for a dance one evening
each week to the American Legion,
or ex-scrvioc men. The training Of
our young people. both American and
Mexican, undertaken by Miss Creek
more, in charge of the reerestional
work, will be of inestimab bic benefit.
In every way, Community Service
should appeal to the people of Browns
vile. as thoroughly wholesome, bene-
fieent. elevating influence.
Will ycu contribute toward the three
months try-out that We plan TO dem
onstrate it's value to all Of us?
