I'm OUR
VALLEY

FORTY-TWO motorists arrested in
Brownsville Thursday.
They violated a traffic ordinance.
Result Of establishment OF stop
signs at all cross streets along
Elizabeth between tire postoffice and
Palm boulevard.
They failed to stop for the signs.
Apparently the police decided they
were persons who did no believe in
signs.
Anyway. the arrests will serve TO
remind citizens that the police pro-
pose TO enforce the observation Of
the boulevard system.
It's a public safety measure and
not altogether for the benefit Of the
police or the police court.
Brownsville, unfortunately, has
extremely narrow cross streets.
Buildings obstruct the view al
corners. The stop signs should pre-
vent further accidents at corners
which have been extremely danger
Gus. Several persons have been in
jured at such corners. There have
been numerous automobile mishaps.
SCORE another for Valley oranges.
A Brownsville lady, who is attend
ing a sick man, reports as follows:
Yesterday she prepared some
orange juice for him. Obtained
some Valley oranges
Two oranges Of average size gave
water glass full OF orange juice.
Today. as it happened, she was
unable to get Valley oranges. Was
forced to buy California navels.
1t required four California navels
to supply the same amount of juice
that had been obtained from two
Valley oranges.
If Valley growers are IN need of
any material for publicity in behalf
of Valley oranges, here's the very
material that's needed.
Besides which. Valley oranges are
admittedly sweeter than the Cali
fornia variety.
DR.. Z. V. PHILBROOK, Of Cali
fornia, visiting in Brownsville in
pursuance OF his study of bird life

his temporary home here.
fr
many years ago. III therefore
"knows his marmalade."
DR.. Philbrook says that there is
none better than marmal-ue made
from Valley grapefruit.
This writer, after tasting Of the
sample, is decidedly in agreement
with DR.. Philbrook.

manufactured in the Valley. Use il.
Helps home industry.
