I'm OUR
VALLEY

ONE HUNDRED CARLOADS OF
VALLEY CARROTS TO BE TURN
I'D INTO SOUPS!
Yes, sir!
by a very famous earned soup
concern.
None other than tho Campbell
soup company.
The sale is announced by Wade &
newton, shippers Of this section.
Inc purchasing concern is one Of
the largest OF its kind in the world.
And SO far as known this year
wall be the first time that Valley
carrots have become an important
part OF Campbel's soup in cans.
An entering wedge. Another VIC
tory for a Valley vegetable.
} Once Valley vegetables get into
cans, always in cans.
Canned stuff Is becoming more
and more important in the nations
diet. And in the worlds.
watch Valley vegetables go into
cans.
Watch for them in beautifully
eoiored advertisements in nationally
circulated magazines.
At LEAST one Brownsville news
paporman refused 10 become excited
over the fact that Colonel Lindbergh
could not be definitely located.
He pointed out that the colonel
had become lost" several times be-
fore, and invariably had turned up
safely and without mishsr.
So along toward midmorning Sun
day he suggested:
why not get someone who knows
someone in Tsmpico TO call up there
and ask about Lindbergh?"
Teofilo Crixell. Jr.. he suggested,
knew men in TamPico interested IN
flying.
It developed that Crixell knew
7. L. Buckley, who had been Lind
hergh's host.
So q long distance cali was put
in by Crixell for Buckley.
Within twenty minutes Buckley,
III at his home. was on the line
He said that Lindbergh was safe,
had stopped at Rancho Nsrania.
And that was that.
CARL r. SCHUNEMAN, assistant
secretary OF the treasury, and Judge
Jchn II. Bartlett. first assistant
postmaster general, looked over the
federal building situation IN Browns
Vile the other day.
This is tho first time. probably.
that officials OF such high stand
ing with reference to building ex-
nsnditures have ever visited this
city and section.
They are familiar with the situs-
ton, having inspected the building
And it seems that something
should be donc-possibly the cham
her Of commerce is the proper civic
bodv 20 act-to capitalize on the
visit.
perbaps II would bc worthwhile
g. take a census Of ell federal
activities in Brownsville.
Determine how many offices are
,eeded. how much rent is being PAID
for office space outside the federal
building, etc, and pass that inior-
nation along 10 the proper authori-
ties. n
The federal court, everyone N
.,reed Il inadequate. Halls stuiiyi
courtroom badly placed.
A new building seems 70 be nece'-
gary.
WONDER if the Cameron county
rr,issioners court wouldn't con-
,ider building protection fences AZ
dangerous points along the highway
IN Cameron county.
ror ,xample, there are steep fills
,,ross rcsacas near Brownsville.
Ard at other points between
R,ownsvillc and San Bcnito.
n Hidalgo and Starr counties they
go. these fences across fills and
high, dangerous places.
Concrete posts, supporting heavy
+ -s,hed wire seems to be the pre-
~
ferred protection.
Nigh avoid some serious acci-
dents. especially in wet weather
rh.n roads are slippery, and shoul-
ders rutty.
" A. (SNAKE) KING is pretty
dent when it is matter Of getting
publicity. -,.,;
= tho matter Of the python snake
,sat escaped from its box in the
xoman's building at the Mid-Ninter
fair groundvk MONDAY.
ia was IN Brownsville when 1t
..rurred. The snake and is box
wss at Harlingen, y miles away.
ANYWAY. the snake managed 70
.,s.r the building. and a hurry call
w.s sent in to Brownsville for eN-
rsrts TO come a box him. box
him good and plenty
Nothing untoward happened. But
!, xas a rather thrilling experience
81 those who happened to be in the
,s;rhborhood. according 70 reports
from Harlingen.
tuDGE SAMUEL SPEARS has
zone to his reward.
A pioneer lawyer Of the lower Ri1
Grande.
,.owIedre Of the law Of the land
re had much to do with the de-
..,orment Of the irrigation and
~.,sr service laws Of this section.
He stood high in legal ranks, no.
snly in his chosen county but
throughout the state.
