editorial columns rs to whether an
automobile truck has as much right
on highway as a passenger auto
mobile.
The Record, The Caller says, dis
cussed the problem three columns
worth the other day. The Caller
returns with about column. And
so the discussion wages. back and
forth. from the county seat of Nu-
eces county to the county seat Of
Kleberg county.
All of which reminds US of some
thing. There are five newspapers ~
v Kleberg and Nueces counties-two
of them dailies in Corpus Christi.
the other weeklies in Robstowr.
Bishop and Kingsville.
EVERY ONCE IN while these
wceklies mix il" with the Corpus
Christi papers.
Here in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley there is great difference
In Cameron. Hidalgo and Willacy
counties, there were some twenty
two daily and weekly newspapers
at the last count. There may be
more before next week.
The point is and it's very
strange-none of these Valley pa
pers ever get into an argument
with n neighbor, so far as The Her
aids exchange desk shows. They get
along most charmingly.
AMERICAN LEGION men Of
brownsville. campaigning the city
o number houses and business
ybuildings, are running into interest
ing stories.
One was told by a resident of
West Brownsville
Il had to do with the fire hazard
in cases where there are no house
numbers.
She told a number salesman that
several days Before she had at
tempted to give fire alarm.
Being n newcomer she was with
out knowledge of streets. numbers
or neighbors. She tried to explain
where she lived. Without success
and was put out without difficulty.
The fire department often eX
periences such difficulties. They
try to place residence or other
structure by the names Of neigh
bors, most often only after much
questioning.
Proper house numbering will do
away with that.
Moral: Number your house At
least you should know where you
live.

district. Realizes the importance
of yaved roads and well drained
lands to the fullest
And forgets about the temporary
disappointments Of crop failures IN
the knowledge that there are other
crops TO come later.
TWO FARMERS were in casual
veisation in the lobby Of the
Brownsville postoffice.
One Of them was commenting on
the weather here. Declared that he
hai noticed that Brownsville was
four to ten degrees ccloler during
the day than Rio Grande City.
Then came up some conversation
about crops. and the other said:
"Yet. this country can and does
produce There are occasional set
backs, of course. But like it here.
And I'm going to stay. I've never
Yet seen the country that wouldn't

Now. that's a fine way to look at
things.
