Christian contentment."
The New Year gives much Of prom
ise to the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Much work has been done in 1928
and H. the years preceding.
Much work the results OF which
will become apparent in the year 70
come. And tho years that will fol-
low.
The Valley has much to be thank
ful for, and 4 great deal to look
forward TO.
The Valley is building thoroughly
economically, socially and in every
other way.
Let's make 1929 the greatest year
in the Valleys history.
SOPHIE BRASLAU is coming to
Brownsville Friday for a concert.
Miss Braslau is a singer Of ma
tional fame.
She has appeared before the most
critical audiences in the United
States.
Her appearance here will be under
the auspices Of the Brownsville Con-
cert Bureau.
The bureau Is composed OF few
women who are anxious TO promote
appreciation of the voice and instru-
mental arts in the Valley.
It is usually the women who may
be looked to to interest themselves
in such things.
The pioneers in this field in the
Valley will have only the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that they have had
something to do with the develop
ment Of such taste.
This second of series of seasonal
entertainments should have the full
support Of the public.
THE BOX BILL which seeks to
apply the immigration quota to-sll
Latin-American countries and Cam
ada. probably will not come up for

ents as well as opponents to per-
init 1t to 20 over to the next session
Of congress.

cross the border daily in going 70
and from work and other business.
This ease will be argued February |
n and decision is not possible be- |
fore adjournment day OF congress,

This decision may also affect sim
liar workers along the Mexican bor-

LAST SEASON the Valley shipped
almost $4,000 carloads of vegetables,
including about 1900 carloads of cit
rus fruits.
The seasn has been somewhat
slower than last year in opening.
But is making headway rapidly.
No season why the gross yield and
the gross return shouldn't be much
better this season than last.
Cabbage, of which the acreage is
larger than last year. will assist
in increasing the total
number Of carloads.
Advance purchases BY new buyers,
particularly large canning concerns,
indicates a somewhat wider market
han ever before.
The Valley promises to hold its
own through the season, and 10 i'm
