AGED LOCOMOTIVE
OFFERED AS EXHIBIT

Colonel w. T. Eldridge, owner Of the
Rio Grande railway, thinks Cameron
county and Brownsville should acquire
the two old Rio Grande railroad loco
motives and place them in parks as per-
manent exhibits.
d. A. O'Brien. representing Colonel
Eldridge, today asked the board of
county commissioners to consider TAX
ing one of the old engines, after it has
been placed in shape, and in return re-
nit the 1924 taxes of the county against
the road.
Mr.. O'Brien pointed out that ole
railroad engines have been placed on
exhibition in Atlanta, Ga. and other
points. He said that he believed the
county should lend this much encour-
agement to Colonel Eldridge in return
for what he has done in increasing
values, and his other efforts to give
the Valley additional transportation.
Judge Dancy said the court would
take the matter under advisement.
The court was scheduled to convene
again this afternoon.

be voicing the views of the
administration at Washington.
Special significance was attached to
the fact that the statement comes at a
time wheri considerable suspicion and
distruct of Germany are being voiced in
various parts of Europe, particularly
France, because of the election to the
presidency Of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg, who is asserted by some to
represent those reactionary forces which
a1e inimical to the peace and interest
of at least some of the allies.
Interloeked with this idea, it has been
commented, may be the fate of the
security pact proposed by Germany and
warmly seconded by England as great
step toward the re-establishment Of real
peace. Indeed there has been some
speculation as to whether the effective
working of the Dawes plan might be i'm
paired by the tanning Of smoudering
fire of distrust.
Whether Ambassador Houghton had
any of these things in mind was open
to conjecture. He referred to none
of them but cOntented himself with
making it plain not only that the re-
establishment of peace was essential to
the continuation of assistance from the
United States. but the answer to the
question whether there was to be peace
must come from the people of Europe
themselves. If there was to be peace.
then America would help in the recon
struction to the extent of her ability
The full measure of American help
fulness," Ambassador Houghton de-
clared, "can be obtained only when the
American people are assured that the
time for destructive methods and poll
cies has passed and that the time for
peaceful upbuilding has come.

TOMBSTONES FOR

Whereas, automobile accidents con-

lists of fatalities and injuries, incurred
among pleasure seeking motorists of

this great sacrifice of human life and

Whereas, it is the duty Of our citi-

has been lost, and that in thesevent of
future accidents, at railroad crossings,
a cross be erected for each life lost;
and I urge the newspapers and civic
organizations of the state to cooper

necessity of observing the following

2. Consider the rights of others

3.--Observe strictly all official high

DOES IT PAY?

Some years ago the question, "Does
Advertising Pay?" was a fruitful
topic for discussion among business
men, but today it would be difficult
to find any to take the negative side
of the argument, the only point left
for decision now being that of how to
advertise most effectively.
BY careful check-up of results OBJ
tanned, through surveys by many
business associations and advertising
experts lately, it has been demon
strated quite conclusively that taken
as a general proposition the newspa-
per is the most economical and ef-
fective medium.
Not only is this true with respect
to retail advertising, but it has been
found that the newspapers give far
better results than any other form of
publicity when used for state and
community promotion. California
and Florida have proven this most
conclusively and they are backing their
faith in newspapers by planning to
spend larger sums with them during
the next few months than ever before.
Florida cities alone will spend $4,-
100000 for advertising, mostly in
newspapers, this fall and winter, not
including the vast sums to be spent
by individual concerns in the same
way. Everyone knows by this time
what advertising has done for Florida.
Other states and cities are now
realizing that they must follow suit
or be left behind Atlanta is planning
an advertising campaign to continue
indefinitely, in which $250,000 will be
spent in an attempt to attract Ameri-
can tourists and investors. Alabama
is launching a statewide campaign
suggested by the state press associa-
ton.
These are only. a few of the hum
dreds, of promotion movements now
under way, which it is estimated viii
involve expenditures of $15,000,000
for state and municipal advertising
alone during the next twelve months.
The bulk of these appropriations will
be spent with newspapers. And it will
pay.
