HE Chamber of Commerce banquet
= in Brownsville tonight promises to
be civic treat.

One dollar admits to the banquet, and
arrangements have been made to take
care of at least $50 persons.

Of Commerce. Ed Overholser, president
and general manager of the Oklahoma
City Chamber Of Commerce, and H. H.
Haines. vicepresident and general man.
ager of the Houston Chamber of Com
merce.
No doubt Governor Trapp of Okla
homa. also visitor in Brownsville bent
on hunting trip in Mexico. will be
present.
And Governor Trapp and Mr. Haines
both will be willing to admit that there
must be something interesting here,
since each found it impossible to locate

Cabbage by the ton is being rushed
across the Atlantic to the United States,
according to news dispatches.
The United States Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics has reported the ar
rival of fourteen carloads of cabbage
within week at New York, from Hol-
land.
Unfavorable weather conditions in the
northern cabbage districts has created
afshortage. So values scared
Valley farmers are receiving from
$35 to $40 ton for cabbage. Cabbage
is being rushed into the market fast as
it natures.
In the northeast someone is endeavor-
ing to break the market for Valley
cabbage by importing Holland cabbage
When the Valley gets into full swing on
cabbage it should be able to ship so to
100 carloads day, if the market de-
mands it. And here's hoping that the
farmer of the Valley, who las year gave
cabbage away for from Sc to $40 ton
will this year receive from six to ten
times the last years price. He deserves

The cub reporter wrote "brief" an
nouncing a visitor from Lyford as COM
ing to "the Lower Rio Grande Valley"
He apologized for the error. He had be-
come so accustomed to telling Of visit

that the habit was responsible for the
error. Of course everyone knows Ly-
ford is in the Valley. He knows it now.

Lon A. Smith, Texas railroad commits
aloner, announced in Brownsville that
the Texas Railroad Commission, in
authorizing Chairman Clarence Gilmore
to represent it in the Southern Pacific
hearing at Washington tomorrow, also
authorized Chairman Gilmore to state
the position of the Texas Railroad Com
mission; that is, that the Texas COM
mission favors granting the permit.
The hearing opens in Washington to-
morrow, Friday 1t may be completed
tomorrow, or may go over into Satur-
day. But since there are to be only
Tour arguments, probably it will not
continue over into the following week
!. Under ordinary conditions, the Valley
should know by the latter part of March
the decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
