I'm OUR
VALLEY

ihiN1s To WORRY about: Pres
ident Coolidge has increased the
duty on Swiss cheese fifty per cent
The rate is now five cents a pound
AND THERE has been a sharp up
turn in the price Of potatoes-after
the Valleys crop has been marketed
and forgotten about. The jump was
from So to 50 barrel, depending on
grade.
Follows the unexpected early
close Of the season in Alabama,
Louisiana and South Carolina.
Now IL cotton will take a jump up
ward Of two or three cents a pound.
the Lower Rio Grande Valley will
feel that there is justice in the gem
eral scheme Of things. II the price
holds through the season.
MAKE THE LOWER Rio Grande
Valley the playground Of the South

The Valley is on the road 10 just

The work is going on along the
coast. It's visible at Point Isabel.
Visible at Holly Beach.
Visible at other pointes. including
Padre Island.
And there are plans for rcads TO
the coast. One is TO be built within
the next two or three years. and two
or three others are in mind.
IL will require several Of these
! roads TO handle the traffic in n
J few years.
The Valley proposes to be plav-
Aground. But while busy az that work.
I also takes pride in the fact that
il possible 10 make il the feeding
round for America.

With a dozen cities in the making
the Lower Rio Grande Valley. the
me is coming when poultry will
ecome a large factor in the local
iarkets.
The industry certainly j. deserving
OF more attention than Is being
given il at the present time.
Raise cfie<ens. And don't stop
there. Go in for hogs.
SPEAKING OF HOGS. the Pharr
Kiwanis Club is working out plan
BY which farm boys in the Pharr
community will be given an oppor-
tunity to go in for hog raising on
their own.
Each boy who will agree 20 give
attention TO his hog business. will
be started off in the industry. And
the Pharr Kiwanians are now scour-
ing the Valley for suitable stocking
material.
CAMERON COUNTY has as

This fact is brought to mind with
the passage by the late legislature
of a bill giving Cameron county a
county court-at-law.
There are two district courts. the
criminal court. presided over by
Judge W. a. Cunningham. and the
civil court. presided over by Judge
