IN OUR
VALLEY

DOGER W. BABSON, publicist, finan-
~ cial writer, home address Babson
Park, Boston, Mass. looked at the map
and came to the conclusion that what
was true of Florida also probably was
true Of the Texas coast Of the Gulf Of
Mexico, or large part of it.
Babson predicted that the Florida
boom would be repeated on the Texas
coast.
Most of us down on this part of the
coast are quite willing to agree with
Mr.. Babson. We are, in fact, sure that
1t will be repeated here.
Mr.. Babson, according to advices
reaching the Brownsville Chamber Of
Commerce, will speak before a banquet
in New York City January 10 next
which will be attended by some 400 or
roo merchants from over the United
States.
Mr.. Babson's subject, it is under
stood, will be the Texas Gulf Coast
and more especially the Rio Grande
Delta. We use Especially" advisedly,
because literature has been sent him
which will give him so much to talk
about. that most Of the talk is certain
to be taken up with Delta topics.
In addition to which, the Brownsville
Chamber of Commerce has offered to
supply Delta grapefruit for the occa-
sion.
There'll be results.
The Herald suffered from bad print
last week.
The weather the cause.
A printing press, the ink rollers,
printing inks. and even the paper are
frequently affected by changes in the
weather
If the press and its various parts
become cold, the printing is unsatisfac-
tory. The rollers harden, the ink re-
fuses to distribute evenly The press
room had refused to respond to hot
fire at press time.
The press was cold-and showed it in
the work it produced
Sometimes the giant rolls Of paper
become electrified. Atmospheric condl-
tions cause it. Then, too. there is trou-
ble for the pressman. for the paper just
will not 90 through the press as y
should.
Don't want to De without you -
even for day. do you!
Then possibly you'd better arrange
to secure your 1926 automobile license
without more delay.
There are $500 cars in Cameron coun-
ty. Barely thousand have secured
1926 licenses thus far.
Tomorrow is the 23rd. Only eight
days more in this month including Sun
day. Thus more than a thousand II
censes a day will have to be issued be-
tween now and the first to clear the
field.
Means much business for the tax col
lector's office But additional quarters
have been secured for this work. More
clerks employed They'll work fast.
And to avoid second trip, be sure
to have your lights tested certificate
You'll have it to have to get your Il
censc.
The sheriff's office asked that this
be called to public attention. And
we're doing it. Always glad to oblige
the sheriff and the public.
Our license hasn't been paid.
Ii they decide to adopt Delta III re-
verse. we're going to cave TO do some
thing about the name at the top Of this
column.
What's your idea?
Think it over. seriously. Make q
suggestion. Well be glad to have it.
And please don't suggest that we DO
away with the column. Must have
something to put on this side Of the
page, and we couldn't think Of any
thing else.
The Laredo district Of the Rio Gran
de Valley is preparing to "cash in on
the advertising Of this part Of the Val
ley as result of the Delta's growing
fame as citrus fruit section.
This is indicated in the following
news dispatch sent out from Laredo:
AT the rate orders for citrus fruit
trees are being placed by Laredo resi-
dents at this time, it is possible that
