I'M OUR
VALLEY

: Mr.. AND MRS. w. ]. CARSON.
who live on the highway, near San
O. Benito, are enthusiastic summer au-
!. tomobile tourists.
Last summer they made a trip in
which they covered some 1000 miles.
Out of all the towns visited, up
permost in their minds Is the city
-Jof Appleton, Wisconsin.
There's a reason.
They stopped for a time at Apple
ton as they did in many other cities,
larger and smaller.
They registered at the local cham
her Of commerce.
Several months went by. Came
Christmas. With il a Christmas card
from the Appleton Chamber of Com
merce. The card wished them
? Merry Christmas, hoped Mr.. and Mrs.
Carson had enjoyed their brief stay
in Appleton, and expressed the hope
that Mr.. and MrR Carson would visit
there again.
That's selling a city 70 the tour
ist That's why Air- and Mrs Carson
remember Appleton above all other
cities that they visited.
The Appleton method has been re-
ferred TO the Lower Rio Grande VAL
ley Automobile Club. Manager ii. b.
Hall believes it's a good one.
SPEAKING OF automobile clubs,
the creed Of the open road, as drawn
up by the American Automobile As
sociation. is interesting. Here il is:
"The beauty Of the open road IS
not policed except by the honor Of
the traveller.
Il, who love the freedom of the
open road, shall not permit that
freedom to degenerate into license.
Capable of perceiving the beauty
Of trees / shall be incapable Of de-
stxeyir,fe tthsst- beauty for those who
may follow.
"The living radiance of the flow
ers brightens my journey. | shall
rot wantonly wrest from them that
life and radiance.
Il shall respect the lives, the prop
erty and the customs Of the com
munity through which | pass, and
thus endeavor TO leave agreeable re-
collections of the motor and the mo-
torist.
"Privilege entails obligation.
IL, who ride the open road, value
and enjoy its countless privileges.
Equally, therefore, do / assume
with good will and sincerity-its few

OTTO KAHN, the New York bank
er who is to visit Brownsville, has at
least one personal friend in Browns
willie, possible more.
DIR. Harry X Loew. who served
overseas during the World War. as
major. met Mr.. Kahn at a place
where they were %oth guests for a
week or so.
"He's a regular fellow" is the
verdict Of DIR. Loew.
Which knocks into a cooked hat
cur belief that great banker and
financier must be austere, distant
and everything else that is, shall we
say unfellowly?
HARLINGEN, with the opening OF
its new and splendid ReeseWil- Mond
Hotel, has become a sort Of mecca
for meetings of various kinds.
And among the busiest of public
officials as result of these multi
tudinous meetings, is Mayor S. Fin
ley Ewing Of Harlingen.
Every occasion. almost, demands
the attendance Of the Harlinger
mayor for introductions, for open
ing the meetings and the ether for
maiities.
In section growing as the Valley
is growing there is a constant stream
of meetings at one place or another
and Harlingen seems TO be getting
the lions share Of them.
Soon the Harlingen mayor ma.
have so many meetings to open, 81
many introductions 10 make. that h
will have little time for anything
else
And he may find himself in the
position Of President Coolidge, wh'
recently found himself called upor
TO welcome delegation the identit!
of which he did not know. The wore
was passed cut that they were NOR
ticians, but when IL got to the presi
dent IL had become bricklayers.
DR.. G. d. Fairbanks is the Unite'
State Public Health Service repre-
sentative in Brownsville.
DIR. Fairbanks is urging Browns
willie to vote against a bond ISSUE
which includes 100000 for storm AM
sanitary sewerage construction.
He says, in effect, that Browns
Vile does not need these things nov
can come later.
Wonder IL DR.. Fairbanks could sc
cure from the United State Publ
Health Service headquarters a
