Exhibit Car
Leaving Date Be
Set Up to Jan. |

McALLEN. Sept. 26.-SettinE up VI
tie date for the departure VI the
Missouri Pacific exhibit car from the
Lower Rio Grande Valley to Jan. 4
has been asked Of the officials Of the
railroad. according to ". r. Clarity.
president of the Valley Secretaries
association, who last year accom-
panied the car on a part Of the trip.
The exhibit car which il sponsored
bv the Missouri Pacific and visits the
states served hv this railroad and
connecting lines. usually q Dec.
! or shortly after the close Of the
Mid-Winter Valley fair az Harrington.
This arrangement according 70 Me-
Garity is not the best inasmuch as
the car last year when son miles
from the Valley displaying both
citrus and vegetables grown in the
Valley attracted little attention in
its display Of vegetables due to the
fact that the territory in which the
car WIS on exhibit could obtain veEe-
tables grown locally. III We can get
the railroad To set the date un "a
January I BY the time we have
reached the up state markets our
vegetable display will create a great
deal of interest. for by that time
the frost will have killed out the
vegetables in the territories visited
BY the car" Mccarthy said.
The letters asking for the change
III the date were addressed 70 both
-. Louis and Houston officials of
the road and according 70 Mccarthy
the matter will ne brought no AZ the
next meeting az the secretaries a.
sociafion for further discussion.
