I'm OUR
VALLEY

A BUSY TIME for Valley pec-
pie just ahead.
A patty 4 more than 60 mem
bers Of the Texas legislature, wives
and newspaper reports in the VAL
ley today on sightseeing and
pleasure tour.
Arriving at San Benito the van
guard Of Texas merchants who will
attend the three day convention
there Of the Retail Merchants asso-
citation.
The r.. NJ. "A. convention Is ex-
pected to draw about GOO visitors
TO San Benito.
Then just about the time the
last of the merchants are return
ing to their homes, members OF
the Texas Medical association will
begin arriving in Brownsville for
the annual convention Of that
organization.
The doctors will begin arriving
about Saturday. as many Of them
are to speak from the pulpits of
Valley churches Sunday.
The doctors are expected about
1900 strong and arrangements have
been perfected for many of the
visitors to be housed in San Be-
nito and Harlingen hotels. Browns
vile hotels and plivate homes will
be taxed to capacity.
VALLEY FOLK are glad to well
come all these visitors. A real
effort will be put forth 10 see that
every one of them enjoy them
selves.
'Iope the legislators today gain
such favorable impression of the
section that they decide to visit
often in the future. If any Of them
decide to forsake their constituent
back home and come to the Valley
they will be welcomed.
Probably several OF those in the
party this time will remember the
Valley when they visited here at
the time tax remission was being
sought to aid in the construction
Of adequate flood control works. If
they remember .sJw the Valley
NloQked in those days they will re-
TX a wonderful development
- Akce that time
II they supA I'D the tax re-
mission measure '1ey can take
credit for part ol the development
for the construction OF that sys-
tenn undoubtedly resulted in added
faith In the Valley and served to
speed fulfillment Of the sections
destiny.
APPROXIMATELY so Of rs who
graduate from the Brownsville high
school this year are expected 70
enroll in the Junior collee here
next year.
Assures handsome growth of
the enrolment in Brownsville's
college and points to greater ac-
compliShments for that institution.
Probably many OF these young
men and young women would have
found II impossible to continue
their education had the Junior
college not been in existence. 9th
ers viii find IL valuable because
they will be able to remain at home
while completing the first two
years Of a college course.
And all OF them will receive full
credit for the work done, for
Brownsville Junior college IS fully
accredited as a member of the
American Association OF Colleges.
Means the credits will be accepted
at face value at the leading insti-
tutions Of higher learning.
ROBERT OBRIEN. a power in
brownsville championship foot
ball team last wear. famous for his
ability to get through the line and
tackle the man carrying the ball
behind his own line, is powerful at
tackling other tasks also.
He tackled his studies with suf-
ficient vigor TO land him in the
first ten per cent for scholarship
attainments and to become a men,
Der Of the National Honor Society.
Raul Cara. valedictorian of the
class. and eight others become
members of the society along with
O'Brien- Garza'S grade was 95.6.
BROWNSvILLE'S dog license
ordinance. even when enforced is
entirely inadequate. in the opinion
of City Inspector Graham OF the
Cameron County Health Unit.
To be effective. the war on rabies
must include a requirement that
all dogs be vaccinated against the
disease. he thinks.
Appointment of a dog catcher,
establishment Of a pound and en-
forcement of the law requiring a
license fee to be paid on all dogs
will help reduce the number OF
dogs in the city and thus lessen
the danger of serious outbreak
OF mad dogs" Graham says.
But a dog. whether the license
Zee is paid or not. Is subject to
rabies II he has not been made
irpmune by vaccination.
FIRST VALLEY watermelons
have appeared.
The WiIlacy County News re-
ports a melon shipped from Ray
mondviIle May by Lee McClaugh-
erty to a relative at Pleasanton
Texas. The melon weighed %
