that Brownsville needed that discus

PICK ANY meeting Of any cham
her of commerce anywhere in the
Valley and one will find similar
optimism.
Just as in this case, there will
be many things discussed and acted
upon, for the Advancement Of the
Tfoshy
A chamber Of commerce cannot
always put into immediate effect
all of the things that II has under
consideration.
Usually undertakings are in the
formative stage long before they are
realized.
Let's cooperate with our cham
hers OF commerce here in the VAL
Law. They need at least the moral
'A,upport of all citizens.
Y Remember that these men who di-
st these chambers are just as
1{k interested in the success of all
I Undertakings as are the citizens
| themselves.
Usually their reward is criticism.
\ II should never be so.
l ALL FOOTBALL INTEREST in the
ivalley is centered just now on one
Happroaching game.
Szhat OF San Benito and Browns
yle. scheduled for Friday after
noon.
Neither Of these teams has gone
down in defeat this season. One
ether team. McAllen, has similar
record, although it has been tied
once.
The Brownsville-San Benito game
Il expected TO be the grid classic Of
the year for this section.
And the event promises TO draw a
breaking football crowd for
this section.
OUR EATH r MAN. Mr.
sehnurbusch, says that we have had
came four inches OF -sin more this
wear than we are rightfully entitled
20.
The injustice Of il has been that
rost OF the surplus has fallen with
i the last two or three months, and
rost Of that in November. A wet
month. very often, but not as wet
- IL has been this year.
All because of that downpour on
,..t Friday afternoon.
sos Is FALSE ALARM
