IN OUR
VALLEY

n the face Of disagreeable weather
4 last night. the first vaudeville cir
cult presentation ever made in the Val
ley went over in big style. at the Dit
mann theatre. The audience was re-
markably large
The program was excellent. and per
sons who have been vaudeville goerE
in the big cities remarked surprise at
the excellence Of the various members
Vaudeville is an experiment on the
part Of the Dittmann Theatre. II pub
lie reception is satisfactory. it will be
continuous through the season.
This entirely new type Of entertain
mcnt in Brownsville and the Valley
generally should be supported.
Two nights of vaudeville in Browns
ilvIc-Tuesday and Wednesday nights
and two in MeAIIen for the folks Of
the upper section of the Valley.
Vaudeville becomes habit. Orce
you begin seeing, you grow to like and
to look forward to the new offerings
from week to week.
MsAlIen, which has been without q
Chamber Of Commerce for severa!
and feels the need of such an organi-
zatiOn to promote the interests of the
city.
So temporary organization has been
made. and a state charter applied for
and issued. The temporary officers
are r. 3. Freeland, president; o. P.
Archer. secretary; B. ID. Kimbrough,
o. p. Archer, A. A. Hughes, H. v. Dis
mukes, C. c. Mcdaniel, l.. G. Beamer,
R. NJ. Bounds, directors.
With McAilen organizing. every town
in the Valley now has some organiza-
ton the purposes of which are to pro-
mote growth and development.
LET It Be the DeIta,' is the heading
in an editorial in the McAlIen Monitor.
which goes on to say:
In the future the Monitor will re-
fer to the Lower Rio Grande Valley as
The Delta
We have become accustomed to the
appellation through reading the col
umns of the Gravity Irrigation News.
and The Delta not only has come to
sound euphonious and significant. but
IL strikes US as setting apart this por-
tion Of the Rio Grande Valley in a dis
tinctive way Therc>Taa be ne questions
but that the FL Paso section, a greatly
inferior section of our own exclusive
portion Of the Rio ufande. has derived
much benefit from such advertising as
has already been given the Delta They
have irrigation in other Rio Grandc
Valleys as we'll as our own, and they
raise what they call winter vegetables
in several of those sections. But all
other Rio Grande Valleys have annual
destructive frosts and citrus production
is q success in none of them to the ex-
tent that it is success in our own
Valley, which is not valley at all.
The Monitor, disposes of the objection
that many enterprises w6uld have to
change their names with the argument
that there are so many things in favor
of the change, that they would not
stand in the way.
IL concludes: The Delta of the Rio
Grande sounds good, and it is abso-
lutely indicative of the location Of the
section TO which it refers, which cannot
be said Of the Lower Rio Grande Valley
Then why not the Delta 2 SO far as the
Monitor is concerned it shall be so in
the future
Events of interest:
Valley bees attacked and killed one
mule, severely injured another and Sc
riously stung the driver of the mules.
Up at Boston the other day camel
fell on a United States marine The
marine is going about his business, but
the camel died from his injuries.
Size seemed to have no bearing on
results in either case.
