L NATIONS biggest news
7 takes place tomorrow, Tuesd-

or the United States.
Also a vice president.
1t Is estimated that it viii be the |
greatest election in the history Of
the United States. therefore in the |
history Of the world.
Election statisticians foresee that !
more than 3s.0OO.00O persons viii
trek to the polling places Of the
country Tuesday.
Which is a little more than =
third Of the population OF the
fountry.
From 100000 to 100000 more
persons are expected to register
their votes than ever before.
Tabulation machinery viii have
TO be speeded up.
SOME 100000 persons will help
70 collect, tabulate and distribute
the returns.

right at dark.
And they will continue on until
the early hours OF the morning, az
least.
II there Is a landslide in either
direction, the result Of the nation
vide poll may be known late Tues
day night.
II the voting is close il may be
Wednesday sometime before the
outcome is known.
It's to be a great, big story.
For the newspapers, radio and
telegraph and telephone.
The Associated Press alone will
spend more than n quarter OF
million dollars in collecting returns
for its members.
NOTWITHSTANDING the great
expense incurred in collecting and
disseminating these returns, you
can have them at your home merely
by tuning in your radio.
And your newspaper wNs give
them 20 you quite quickly for the
= paltry sum of five cents.
Or less II you arc regular sub
scriber.
EVERYTHING, some folks point
out, is "up in the air" awaiting the
election day.
Then, il is to be assumed, some
time Wednesday it will be possible
to start readjusting and getting
back to "normalcy."
This has been long and arduous
campaign, for newspapers and news
saper readers; for radio listeners;
for the election statisticianS and
election progncsticators, and the
straw ballot fellows.
Wednesday :. will be possible to
begin checking up.

dalvo County Fair TO think about,
beginning Saturday; the Valley
Mid-Winter Fair. the latter part of
the month; The Herald's cooking
school. 10 open next Monday.
CITRUS FRUIT paintings have
made large strides in the territory
around Brownsville in the last year
or two.
Causing forecasts by some OBJ
servers that within the next few
wears this immediate section will be
one OF the leading citrus produc-
ton areas in the Valley.
Out in FL Jardin. this condition is
narticularly true.
Is most noticeable on lands that
we're abandoned because of water
tagging. now reclaimed by drainage.
4 Property owners of the FL Jardin
district have spent some 100000
fer drainage.
And new crops, including citrus
and vegetables. on reclaimed land
are a certain indication Of what
drainage has done for the owners.

iean crowds.
