EDITION
I'm OUR
VAl.LEY

NALLEY-GROWN potatoes are
pretty much in demand over the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Dealers so report, following the
campaign inaugurated by The
Brownsville Herald.
All that was necessary was TO call
attention of the housewives and
other consumers % the fact that
alley potatoes were going a-begging
for lack Of a market.
Promptly hundreds Of them de-
cided that they would gladly buy
Valley potatoes.
II wasn't altogether that they pre-
ferred imported varieties Of pota-
toes.
Simply they had not thought Of il.
little advertising Of the situa-
tion through The Herald seems to
have had effective results.
THE SEASHORE was attractive
for Valley-ites Sunday.
All day long-and the Saturday
afternoon and evening before-there
was a steady stream Of automobiles
TO and from the nearby coasts.
Thousands Of cars visited Boca
Chica and Brazos Island beaches.
Launches at Point Isabel were
busy throughout the day plying be-
tween that town and Padre lslano
beaches.
Probably Il would not be far
wrong to estimate that the beaches
drew some 5000 bathers the past
weekend.
Indicates how roads 70 the coast
will be used. at least IN the hot wea-
ther months.
CANDIDATES, in the field for
months. seeking office, are starting
down the home stretch today.
This coming Friday night will see
the wind-up Of the campaign.
On the following day the voters
will express their choice for nom
inees after having for months
listened 10 campaign speeches and
conversations, and read some tons
Of literature ia favor Of this or
that candidate.
r. q. METZ is editor OF the Ed
couch Enterprise. In his last edi-
tion he tells Of a visit % Point
Isabel. He says:
"Ye Ed and another good Ed
couch sport spent Monday and
Tuesday at Point Isab | where a
good outing was enjoyed BY both
parties. By way Of observation il
was noted that Point Isabel had
made considerable improvement dur
ing the past year. 1t was the opin-
ion Of the business men of that
place, however, that the appropria
tion for the building Of the port
would not be available for the next
two years, after which the Point is
expected 70 put on a big building
program. In the meantime the
Point is gradually being developed
into a pleasure resort
There is no reason why the appro-
priation Of sl.0O0,OOO for building Of
jetties and other construction at
Brazos Santiago harbor should be
delayed for two years.
The Brazos Santiago item gill be
included in the next rivers and har-
bors bill.
II That is definite.
Congress meets again in December.
Just how soon the rivers and har-
bors bill will be acted on IL, of
course, uncertain.
But il should be early IN the ses-
sion.
