Mr.. Alsmeyer, who was in town
today. announced that arrangements
are being made to hold the two ban
quets referred to in DR.. Young
blood's telegram on the dates named
by him. Both will be held at Mer
cedes. The reason for holding both
at the same place, and in Hidalgo

zation has not yet been perfected in
Hidalgo county, and the desire is to
interest the A. & NJ. alumni of that
county in order TO insure their or
ganization. The Valley wide ban
quet is to be held at Mercedes be-
cause il is central point and is
better prepared TO entertain at such
function than the other towns
