I'm OUR
VALLEY

Of $6.0oo.00 to build some 200
miles Of permanent highway con-
struction and about $50 miles Of
gravel highways.
Almost co-inrident with the earlier
announcement. the Farmers pro-
teetive Society Of the Mission sec
uon, Announces that its members
VIII oppose that issue or any other
county wide bond issue.
Ihe administration in Hidalgo
county points out that il has not
fathered this proposed bond issue:
.nat u Is being called because Pc
sitions have been presented asking
that such an election be held.
h the action Of the Mission So
eiety forecasts similar action by
other societies Of the kind in Hi
taigo eoonty. an interesting contest
at the polls may be expected.
some two years ago Hidalgo coun-
" voters passed on a road bond is
sIe OF $4,000. 900. Contestants carried
u 10 the courts. It went went to the
appeals. IL was sent back 10 the
county district court for trial.
Rather than continue fighting for
IL. the issue was coneelled by the
county commissioners.
The campaign is on.
THE DALLAS NFwS the other
day complimented Brownsville.
Carried story on the Browns
vile Chamber Of Commerce. with
illustrations Of the splendid build
ing erected BY the city for the cham
Der.
Also n photograph of G. c. Rich
srdssn, the manager.
Richardson brought attention TO
Brownsville with his election as
president Of the Texas Commercial
Executives Association.
THE VALLEY 'PoSSUM is an
other reason why Valley chickens
should be placed under lock and key
of nights.
He raids a henhouse.
He picks what he finds. whether
IT'S the yards best blooded hen. or
the yards poorest. He's not cholcy
that way.
He gets her by the neck. Drags
her out Of the henhouse, or off the
tree limb, and pulls her head from
her body.
Then he proceeds to suck the
blood from the hen. discards the
balance of her and goes on about ms
other business. intent on another
raid on another early morning.
He's predatory animal.
That information to Wet
Brownsville resident the other day
removed a suspicion Of guilt that
hung over a collie pup, and saved
him a happy home.
An old.time residence OF Browns
VILE is said to have harbored. in its
attic. large number Of opossums.
A visitor, hearing them scampcr
, around the attack in the wee sma'
hours of the morning. though of
ghosts and things-snd spent no
more nights there.
WEST BROWNSVILLE blocks
which are still brush-laden should
not be posted.
Hunters should be Encouraged 70
seek out the hen-raiding opossum
and eliminate him.
Else how is one going to responc
TO that campaign TO raise more
poultry! Hk
