to start lif. with sohething like 20
students.
A great many of these students
will come from out of the city.
Among these will be some who will
live at their homes, travelling to and

will prefer TO live in Brownsville and
secure work that will enable them
to pay their own way through the
first two years of university work
Also they will want board and
room. Each must be on reasonable
basis.
Firms and individuals who have
work that these young men and
young women can do will be doing
these young people real service by
offering them such employm ent.
Persons who can give young men
and young women board and room al
prices that they can stand will also
be doing their city and these young
people a great service.

fa1rming have been solved, in the be-
lihf Of J. +. Bennett Of Palatka, Fla.

Mock man.
These are production, conservation
hd transportation.
And Mr.. Bennett is convinced that

Valley can be even more profitable
ecause Of the large opportunity for
