Commercial secretaries Of the towns
OF the Rio Grazde Delta are requesting
their boards Of directors 20 consider a
plan for organizing the four counties
Of the DeIra-Starr, HidaIgs, Cameron
and WiIlacy-into a publicity district
The plan would call for legislative
enactment giving counties authority to
levy taxes for publicity purposes, as is
done IN Florida II the case Of the
Delta, which would be formed into
single unit under the plan, the asses
sable valuations are approaching $780,
O00,000. tax of one mill would bring
100000. of half mill $4,000 a year
A real publicity campaign over a period
of years would justify 100000 year
Remember, the Saturday Evening
Post rates alone would consume nearly
$4,000 for page for single issue
The big city newspaper rate for a
page will run from $500 to better than
$1,000
One of the best features carried BY
The Herald is the who's Who in the
Days News" carried on the editorial
page.
II is always brimful of interesting
facts about interesting people, and to-
day the subject CT the sketch is Con-
gressman John n Garner of this dis
trict.
Congressman Garner is one of the big
men in public life of the United States
And in this session of congress, he is
outstanding. He is one whose influ-
ence is declared to extend as much into
the republican side of the house as it
does on the democratic side.
Jamie Heron, Scotch philosopher and
poet Of Stuart Place, says:
Perhaps there is no spot on the face
of the earth that has been given so
many different names as that of the
Delta country of the Rio Grande river.
1t has been called, The Magic Valley
The Valley Beautiful The Valley
Bountiful,' Happy Valley, Sunshine
Valley The Tip of Texas Delta of
the Rio Grande, and The Lower Rio
Grande Valley and in England, because
of early cotton shipments from this
part of Texas, it is called Texas Val
ley
Entirely too many names. Scatters
our advertising. Let's concentrate on
the Rio Grande Delta. It's short, cas-
