Those 200 flowers are destined tc
give the Valley a lot OF valuable
advertising. They were ordered b,
Tom Stevenson. local Chevrolet
dealer, who Is enroute to Detroit
and Flint for an inspection of the
Chevrolet factory and a conference
OF offitizis and dealers.
Send 200 gladioli to me at Hote
Statler. Detroit" reads a Telegram
received by George White which
was sent by Stevenson from Dallas
Dealers from all over the coun-
Try are to be guests of General
Motors officials at a banquet al
the Detroit hotel during this in
spection trip.
While his telegram failed to re-
veal his purpose. it is believed
stevenson intends to distribute the
gladioli to the guests at this BAN
quet, probably with a little message
about the Lower Rio Grande Valley
and the fact that they came from
Brownsville by air express.
JEWISH are biting at the

Patience. both Of these men ex-

THE VALLEY is becoming more
metropolitan daily.

The bandit waited for the noon
hour when only woman was on
duty. induced her TO open the cash
register by purchasing a small ar
ticle, menaced her with gun un-
til he had rifled the till. snatched
up her purse from stool and
walked away.
This Is form of modernism that
the Valley can well do without. II
is to be hoped our peace officers
will be able to render our climate
unhealthy for this dapper young

indicate. 1t Is believed that suffi-
cfent moisture is now in the ground
TO assure a cotton crop in many
fields where a need for moisture

are believed to have benefitted
more than they were hurt
While the rainfall was not a:

Cotton already was in better thar
