and Mrs. J. M. Jones.
The lives Of J. M. Jones, Jr., and

were taken by the waters of the West
Brownsville lake Monday afternoon
~ seems SO tragic, so cruel that
lives 80 young, so full of youthful
vigor and enthusiasm, so happy, SO
carefree. should be so suddenly
snatched away.
Sadness reigns in two homes that
stand side by side, on street in
West Brownsville.
A dozen playmates are hushed.
Their voices are quieted. Their play
Is halted.
Little Jimmy Jones and Edward
Collins are gone.
IF ANYTHING. yesterdays tragic
occurrence. without precedent In the
West Brownsville lake. is an argu-
ment for supervised Fairgrounds in
Brownsville.
Young America will play. II likes
particularly to play in the water, in
summer.
This play can be controlled. II can
be supervised. II must be super
vised.
HERE is A paragraph we're sure
! the real estate men of Brownsville
and the Valley will be glad TO see. II

II have 10 1-2 acres of citrus fruit
trees near Brownsville, in which am
very much interested. II was plant
/ ed in vegetables between the trees
Yin February last and realized in
cash more rental than from $50
acres here for the whole year last
year.
you have the foundation in
very fertile soil which California and
FLORIDA do not have, besides every
pther advantage Of a semi-tropical
eountry in climate, quality Of veg
Stables and grapefruit. Your schools
land churches reflect the ideas Of a
people who realize now that they
have the essentials to make Of the
Valley the future garden spot of
America.
INCIDENTALLY Or. Fears letter
il tribute to the character and
honesty of whoever is taking care of
his place and planting between the
rows Of trees. He is looking after
the interest of his landlord back in |
Kansas as we'll as he Is looking after |
his own interests.
McALLEN HAS uniformed her city
police force. Her traffic officers |
are showing up in nice, natty blue
uniforms.
And Brownsville Is to have an
electric signal system on Elizabeth
street.
In the not distant future all the |
bright lights in South Texas will not |
b. confined to Houston and San An
tonic.
All the noises and signs Of city |
will be found right here in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.
STOP MARKERS have been placed |
at many street corners in the
Brownsville business district.
There's another place where stop |
markers might prevent accidents.
That's where the state highway
leaves Elizabeth Street.
The highway intersects Elizabeth
Street I'm such a way that traffic
going out Elizabeth street beyond the |
highway and traffic coming in from
the highway can meet msnacingIy.
All traffic should be halted at that
intersection momentarily.
NEWSPAPER advertising is the
difference between the life and vir-
tual failure Of an industry.
Two years ago the salmon industry |
OF the Pacific coast did not adver-
tise. During the first year a total |
Apf 205 ,0oo cases OF salmon were sold.
Last year the salmon industry ad-
ertiscd canned salmon over the
United States. II was suggested as
b good food. The advertising caused
the consumer 20 remember that sal
mon was very palatable table dish.
And last year. as a result of this
advertising campaign, 100000 cases
of salmon were sold.
