The Herald is endeavoring to cover
the news Of the Valley in the best pos

one for small daily paper to organize
it's news sources in its territory so

honest effort to carry all the Valley
news as well as the news Of the out
side world which is incomparably sup
piled to US over leased wires OF The
Associated Press.

Rio Hondo and the Arroyo Colorado
hanks will be the scene Of the endeav-
