IN OUR
VALLEY
, BY CHARLES HALL

This secret Is that whenever any
thing goes wrong. ye editor always
blames it on the printer. Long. long
time ago. editors found out that the
printer was about the only man who
could not get back at them real
strong, so they have been misusing
him ever since.
All this is about that Rio Grande
Valley Loan. Yesterday We labored
long and arduously to say that the
'Valley" referred to was not the
Lower Rio Grande or Magic Valley
Rt all.
And 10, and behold. when the pa
per came out there was an insignifl-
cant little mot" which had crept in
which changed the entire meaning
OF said spasm.
Now the fact Is this, plain and
simple. The government isn't max
ing the lower Valley any $4OO,OOO
loan but Is making IL way out in New
Mexico or somewhere to a lot OF
poor people. We sympathize WITH
those who seem not to know where
the Magic Valley Is, but we VIII 90
all we can to get them out OF their
dilemma.
AYOW comes q letter writer who
knows how TO get his name In
the paper. The letter comes from
A1elrose Park. Ill, and Is signed Z
II. Carstens, M. d.
The reason Or. Carstens knows
now 10 get his name IN the paper
Il that he SAYS he Is d subscriber 70
The Herald and that he thinks
EThere is no greater force for good
an the Magic Valley than Inc
Brownsville Herald.
DR.. Carstens also enclosed clip
ming from the Chicago Daily News
which carried a long story on a re-
cent trip he made. In the story
there is the following: AT Just
Gas .. m. we passed the gateway
To this marvellous Valley. We stayed
in the Valley for ore week driving
from Mission, the western end, TO
Brownsville, the largest city and the
Southermost city IN the united
states. The main highway reminded
Us OF a highway out Of Chicago with
the many cars, with license tags
from every state in the union. Space
will not permit a detailed descrip-
ton OF the weeks stay here, but
suffice it to say that we we're glao
we had made the trip"
Now Dr., 1t has never been our
K.vsasure to meet you. but We GER
Hainly like the sound Of your voice
znd in such big newspaper. Keep
up the good work and come TO see
us again.
ALL those who came inside OF the
IN Herald office on election night
must remember how those tele-
phones rang. It is here wished to
thank the telephone company for
its excellent service. Those girls we're
surely on the job, the like Of which
We have not seen lately. There were
four telephones going constantly and
for four hours over each, a call must
have been answered every ten sec
pnds. We have also noticed here that
IN long distance calls you get TO
talk TO the party desired. rather
than the rest Of the outside world.
nODE I'D the Magic Valley yes
terday afternoon. This Magic
Valley gets bigger and more
wonderful the longer you stay In It..
Drove out 10 Sharyland and met
John Shary. Mr.. Shary seems just
about as earnest in his endeavorS as
any man 1t has been our pleasure
10 meet. And that home of his Is a
Knockout for beauty. He is getting
ready to place on the market bot
tied grapefruit juice "aS pure as the
driven snow" If people can only be
made to learn how good and health
full II l.. Valley growers are going
to have another outlet for their
product.
Oh. yes. and they say Mr.. Shary
has a wonderful yacht. We have Of
sen wondered why We were not born
smalthy instead Of such a good wri-
Rr.
During the recent unpleasantness

vited, II was our lot to be a sailor,
and we never did get seasick. Hope
this is no insinuation.
INQUIRED around about that we'll
the Texas company has near Ro-
ma. From sll we could learn the
derrick has been closed 70 inspection.
From certain sources ii was said
that IL is now showing for about
zoo barrels per day. Going TO keep
on the trail of it and hope to tell
you something definite about II in
q day or so. A good producer theze
will mean lots Of money for lots O.
people. 1t must not be overrated nor
nnderestimated.

dismissed and nothing out Of
