FINAL
i'm OUR
VALL.EY

A MESSAGE has been brought to
the Lower Rio Grande Valley BY a
New Yorker.
II is 10 be hoped that what ne
believes will happen. will come to
pass.
He Is an engineer by profession.
For several years he was connect
ed with Florida development.
During his last few months there
he heard a great deal about the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Of Texas.
At first he paid little attention
TO what he was hearing.
But he continued to hear.
Going back to New York. and
having business in the Southwest,
he decided to visit the section he
had heard 50 much about.
In Brownsville he declared that
there was much talk in New York
state about this section.
And he predicted that New York
state alone would send $4,000 visi-
tors TO this section this winter.
DID YOU scurry about the house
for light covers last night,
There was a reason. If you did.
A right cool northcr. Tempera-
ture went down to 81. But it
seemed cooler than that.
Weather all over the country re-
ported somewhat cooler than usual.
Barometer high, above normal.
In face OF which we find rough
waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
Coast visitors late Wednesday
witnessed the highest breakers Of
the season.
Caused. no doubt. bv the recent
disturbance in the Yucatan channel,
which is reported TO have gone in

the Yucatan peninsula. And prob
ably dissipated bv this time
BROWNSVILLE and McAllen
played a good game of baseball in
Brownsville Sunday afternoon.
Then at McAllen. Wednesday aft
ernoon. the score-2i to 3 in favor
Of McAllen-sounds more like
football result.
Which gives each team game.
90 they flip for location for the
third game. II goes to Brownsville.
Will be played in this city next
Sunday. A good crowd should turn
out and see the finale OF the Ameri-
can Legion baseball activities in the
Valley for this season.
RAILROADS serving the Valley
expect 10 bring n thousand or two
thousand American Legion dele
gates from the San Antonio convcn-
ton to the Valley in October.
No treason why the crowd
shouldn't be a big one.
Back in 1916 there were some
$4,000 troorers-guardsmen and reg
ulars-on this section Of the bor-
der.
IN the American Legion there will
be found many thousands who were
among the boys on the border.
Thousands Of them probably would
like very much to see the area
where they spent some six Or seven
months twelve years ago.
There will be little that they will
recognize. especially in the upper
sections ar the Valley.

SITUATION
By HARRY GTSACK,
Financial Editor

Employment conditions through.
out the United States during the
month of August were generally
satisfactory, according to the monthly
statement of the Department Of La
bor. made public today.
Practically all outdoor activities
in creased in volume. as result
of which many additional workers
were employed in the vast building
programs which are under way.
With few exceptions, the report
states, the major industries operated
on satisfactory schedules.
While the atomobile factories and
allied plants worked on higher pro-
dlction schedules, the Labor Depart
ment found that there was no I'M
provement in the textile industry,
particularly in the New England dis
trict, where many of these workers
are unemployed. The iron and steel
mills reported higher level of en-
ployment, while increased production
was noted in the boot and shoe in
dustry.

DOLLAR DAY WAS BIG
SUCCESS In MILFORD
Thousands OF Persons Came Here
And Secured Good Values

Many thousands thronged the
streets of Milford on Wednesday.
from early in the morning until late
at night, for it was Dollar Day, the
greatest bargain day of the year in
Milford.
1t was difficult to find a parking
space within a radius of two or
three blocks of Walnut street. Many
cars carried licenses of Maryland,
and Virginia, as well as Delaware,
for the bargain hunters had come
from miles away.
After eagerly looking over all that
the stores had to offer, the shoppers
emerged laden with bundles, and the
tired clerks were kept busy waiting
on these customers until midnight.
Remarkable reductions, figuring
the dollar, as the actual price of an
as a deduction from the reg
ular price, or as the price of a du-
pllcate if the shopper should buy
two, were featured in the sales at
all the stores, making it a Dollar
Day in every sense of the word.
While the stock of the stores is
apparently very much depleted, af-
,er this avalanche of shoppers, their
lew fall stock will soon be on dis
)lay.

HIGHWAY OFFICERS
TRY NEW SIGNAL LIGHT
Continuance Is Operated By Car As
1t Approaches Cross Roads

Electro-automatic traffic lights in
stalled at the intersection of the
Basin Road and DUPONT Boulevard,
near New Castle, were placed in
permanent operation this week.
If observation of the lights by
representatives of the company
which manufactures them and State
highway officials show that they are
more satisfactory than the ordinary
traffic lights, it is probable they will
be installed at various other points
along the boulevard.
Trips" have been set in the
boulevard about $50 feet from the
intersection and on the Basin road
about fifty feet from the intersec-
ton. Automobiles passing over
these trips send electric impulses to
the mechanism operating the lights.
If an automobile on the boulevard
passes over the trip before an auto
coming out of the Basin road passes
over the trip in that road, the light
will show red against the car on the
Basin road giving the car on the
the right of way.
If cars coming on both roads
strike the trips at the same time,
The mechanism of the lights oper-
ate in such a manner as to give
either one or the other lines of the
rattle the right of way.

URGE MORE ALFALFA
FOR KENT COUNTY
County Agent Wilson Says Now Is
The Time To Plant Crop

Copies of a circular letter empha-
sizing the six essential factors to be
considered in the successful culture
of alfalfa were mailed last week
from the Office of Kent County
Agent Russell E. Wilson to APPROX
imately fourteen hundred farmers
including dairymen, grain growers.
Orchardists, poultry raisers and
others in the county who should be
interested in this legume as a hay
crop.
A campaign for more and better
alfalfa on the farms in this state
was launched last year under the
direction of the agricultural extern
sion department of the University
of Delaware, and as a result of this
the alfalfa acreage in
Kent county alone was increased
ninety per cent, making a total of
over a thousand acres which were
sown to this crop in this county in
1927. These facts indicate the in
terest which the farmers generally.
and especially the dairymen, are
taking in promoting this alfalfa
campaign, as they are realizing
more each year the value of this le-
sume as hay for their dairy cattle
IND other livestock. In all proba-

CLEARING WOODS FOR

Contractor Begins Work In Prepa-
ration For Laying Of Concrete

The contractors have started
work of clearing the right-of-way
for the new State highway leading
from the Milford-Rehoboth road to
Slaughter Beach. The heavy growth
along the old road has been cut off,
and the route of the new road
through the woods near the beach
has been cut through this week.
The work of pulling the stumps and
clearing this section of the road is
about completed. Several of the
sharp turns in the old road will be
by long sweeping curves
which will make travel much cas-
Ter. The new highway will be con-
of concrete from the pres
ent concrete highway to the bridge
over the canal. From this point on
over the causeway to Slaughter
Beach the roadbed will be of mac
adam. While the work of clearing
he right of way and setting back
he fences is now under way, no
grading or road building will be
lone until after Labor Day. This
Will give the cottagers at the resort

MARYLAND TO
ABOLISH BRIDGE TOLL
Tourists Advised That Passage Over
Susquehanna viii Be Free

Tourists visiting Maryland or
points beyond requiring them TO
pass through Maryland are advised
by the Baltimore Association of
Commerce that on or about Septem-
Der Is toll will no longer be charged
to cross the bridge over the Sus-
quehanna River at Havre de Grace.
The Maryland State Roads Commits
sion, John N. Mackall, chairman, to-
day announced that the bridge will
be made free about that date.
This old bridge, built originally
by the Pennsylvania Railroad in
1866 at cost of 100000, was
abandoned by the railroad when it
completed a new structure double
track in 1908. 1t was offered gratis
to Cecil and Hartford Counties and
declined. The railroad company
then gave it to five citizens who OPP
Grated it as a toll bridge from 1910
to 1928, when it was purchased by
the State for $5S5,000. The State
continued it as a toll bridge, the
proceeds going toward the payment
of bonds foated for its purchase.
Two years ago, the traffic having
grown tremendously, the State de-
cided to double-deck the bridge.
