Ladies of Brownsville Sec
tion Requested to Cooper
ate in Securing and Ar
ranging Exhibits

Brownsville and every community in
the Brownsville section slorld have al
exhibit at the Valley Mid-Winter Fair
at Harlingen this year" was the st~te-
ment of W. f. McDavitt, the Browns
Vile vice e-president Of the Rio Grande
Valley Mid inter Fair Association
Brownsville never had a better op-
portunity 20 show what this section can
produce" Mr.. McDavitt continued.
There will be thousands Of visitors at
the fair this year from al parts Of the
country, and they will form their opin-
ion Of the Valleys fertility and re-
sources from the exhibits on display.
No community in the Valley can afford
10 be without a good exhibit. and the
Brownsville section, which in former
years has not been as well represented
in this respect as 1t should have been,
has more TO gain from a first class eX-
hibit than any other section Of the
Valley. Many Of the pc ople who will at
tend that fair are under the impress
sion that the Brownsville district does
not compare with other sections of the
Valley in fertility and productivity, and
IL is manifesty our duty TO prove 20
them that the Brownsville section ranks
with the best.
Asks Cooperation of Womsn's Clubs
IF the womens clubs Of brownsville
will cooperate in securing and arranging
an exhibit. | feel assured that Browns
vile and every community in this sec
tion can have an exhibi: that will be
credit TO the lower end Of the Valley.
would suggest that every club and or
ganization in the city and in surround
ing communities take UP this matter n

resen.ative exhibit. and then appoint one
member 10 act on a committee 10 be
composed of members OF every organi-
zation. This committee should cooper
ate with their respective community
exhibit chairman in securing and ar
ranging the exhibit.
II have had enough experience IN this
work 10 know that il can never be made
a success without the cooperation Of
the ladies. They possess the faculty OF
selecting. securing and arranging ex-
hibits to get the best effects, and we
mere men must concede that is one
line of endeavor in which they have Us
completely outclassed. | believe every
ladv in Brownsville is interested IN
making the Mid Winter Fair success
and in having an exhibit that Browns
willie will be proud Of. and sincerely
hone they will ac' on this suggestion,
and give US the needed assistance.
