county courthouse.
Has to do with an application for
an injunction in connection with
highway construction in the Browns
vile commissioners precinct.
With some Of the best legal talent
OF the Cameron county bar in action
every minute.
There has been a great deal OF
publicity surrounding this matter OF
roads in this precinct for months.
Yet there is a bare handful OF
spectators in the courtroom.
II this case had ether elements;
for example, IL IL had to do with one
OF those triangles one reads about
so often, il would be different sort
Of crowd.
Il would be a big crowd, instead
OF a mere handful Of spectators.
In fact, the courtroom wouldn't be
big enough to handle the rush.
And, il you want to know, that's
why newspapers publish those ter
rible trial stories. Simply because
to know all about them.
THE ARMOUR & COMPANY house
in Brownsville until recently was a
sub-branch of the Corpus Christi
house.
A few weeks ago II was made q
full branch, with r. p. Macmanus
as manager.
The Armour Magazine. the house
organ Of this great packing interest,
with a circulation among its branches
and employees over the world, re-
Gently carried the following notice:
Brownsville, Texas-It may be of
interest to some of the Armour
Magazine readers, especially those
classed as snow diggcrs,' to know
that since the 27th OF February Ar
mour & Co. has had a full-fledged
branch house in the farthest point
south in the United States inhabit-
ed by the human race.
I'VE refer TO none other than the
new born baby branch here at
Brownsville, Texas, Where Mexico
Meets Uncle SAM the financial cen
ter of the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
Where the Sunshine Spends the
Winter and four crops are harvest
ed a year.
I'VE suggest 10 those who have
not seen or heard of our section
that they tune in on station KWWG

they will tell you all about IL. or
better still. make a trip down here
and see for yourself"
THE BROWNSVILLE traffic reg
ulation scheme, with up-to-date traf-
fic lights on the principal streets
and stop and slow buttons at other
points, seems to be effective.
But now what Is going to be done
about speed into and out Of alleys
in the business section?
Many accidents narrowly averted.
Particularly when traffic leaving
alleys crosses traffic heading IN the
opposite direction.
Seems the city is facing the neces-
sity of putting stop or slow buttons
at every alley exit.
Danger lies to pedestrian as well
as 70 trucks and cars.
One danger at alley entrances IN
the business section is due to the
fact that traffic headed for Eliza
beth street usually speeds up at the
alley for q green light TO cross or
enter Elizabeth before the red light
comes on.
THE BROWNSVILLE Civic League
this afternoon will distribute some
thing like 800 in prizes in \ beau
tiful yards contest.
Prize winners will be given from
81 TO So.
II is not the size Of the awards
that count.
IL is the honor one feels in having
achieved something worthwhile in
the matter of good citizenship.
Every attractive gard, with flow
ers and shrubs, that denote care
and interest. means something to the
civic welfare of the city.
No reason why, next year, there
shouldn't be ten times as many yards
entered as there we're in this con-
test.
Plant life il quite luxurious here
There is no reason why every yard
shouldn't be eligible TO contest.
THE HERALD joins the city and
Valley in welcoming $50 representa-
tives Of short line railroads. who
have been touring Mexico.
Entering at Laredo some two weeks
ago, they are returning TO the Unit
"a States via Brownsville.
They have seen a wonderful land
in their recent journey.
They have seen wonders of writ
ten history and even more piquant
wonders of unwritten history.
They made the trip as the guests
of the Missouri Pacific lines, the
National Lines OF Mexico and other
Mexican railways.
AS one who has made the same
tour. this writer feels certain that
thew have returned 70 their native
country with quite changed opinions
ard impressions Of the great eoun-
,rv south of the Rio Grande.
THE RIO GRANDE seems to be
returning to a normal seasonal flow.
After having caused some misap-
prehension throughout its lower
reaches.
And without having caused any
damage.
All OF which is viewed in this sec
tion with a great deal Of sstisfsc-
tion.
