Iirth Of July celebration.
"A connection with the dedication |
the new quarter Of a million dol |
international bridge.
che celebration will have an in
.ernational aspect.
Because the bridge is an interna-

with Brownsville In the celebration.
There will be a parade in Browns
Vile. to include the Fort Brown

That has been authorized by /
Colonel Eby. commanding officer.
Alsa. there will % n parade in
Matamoros. with the Matamoros
military organization, commanded BY |
General Gabriel Cervcra, participat-
ing.
Each commanding officer and aides
will participate in both parades.
REPORTERS. editors, classified ad /
takers and others in The Herald Of
flee Monday morning Rad hair-tear-
ing sessions Of their own
All due to the fact that a ter
rifle buzzing ON the telephone lines
made impossible satisfactory tele- i
phone communication.
Buzzing due, no doubt, to recent
unsettled weather and electrical dis
turbances.
But those disturbances to the wires
were no worse than the disturbances
caused newspaper minds, voices and
feelings when business began Mon
day morning.
So if you heard rather hard Ian
guage Monday morning over your
telephone, sympathize with the busy |
reporter who was trying 10 conserve
time by using this extremely essen
tiaI means of communication.
THE VALLEY. and particularly
sections Of Cameron county, is mar
keting a successful tomato crop.
Satisfactory prices are being re-
ceived, accoding to growers.
Ranging from two and two and
half to four and even five cents q
pound. depending on size and other
conditions.
Ii is proving to be one of the
best money crops Of the year.
Many cases reported in which
growers have achieved extraordinary
profits, depending on acreage.
Yield has been good.
Cantaloupes this year sweeter and
better than has been the case IN
the two years past.
Current rains may set back each of
these crops in some instances, but
altogether the growers have no rea-
Son to complain.

The entire Valley sympathizes
with those VINO suffered losses and !
with the few injured persons.
DELEGATES attending the conven-
tion Of the General Federation OF |
Women's Clubs. San Antonio, will |
tour the Valley this weekend.
The Valley has frequently enter
tanned delegations making side trips \
after attending conventions at Hous- |
ton aad San Antonio.
Invariably these tours have been \
mostly Of the male sex, with women
here and there.
And the Valley men have done the |
work incidental to organizing the |
trims.
This time the work is in the hands |
Of the women. for women are to be
the outstanding guests.
And the Valley will see that they
are given every opportunity to see
and hear.
Valley women, like Valley men.
never tire of extoli.ng the praises
