IN OUR
VALLEY
BY CHARLES HALL /

thing goes wrong, We editor always
hlames 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 every 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
at all
And 10, and behold, when the pa
per came there was an insignificant
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 100000
loan but is making 1t way out In New
Mexico or somewhere TO lot OF
poor people. We sympathize with
those who seem not TO know where
the Magic Valley Is, but we will do
all we can to get them out Of their
dilemma.
NOW comes a letter writer who
knows how to get his name in
the paper. The letter comes from
Melrose Park. Ill. and is signed e.
H. Carstens, M. D."
The reason DR.. Carstens knows
how to get his name in the paper
Is that he says he is a subscriber "a
The Herald and that he thinks
There is no greater force for good
in the Magic Valley than The
Brownsville Herald.
DR.. Carstens also enclosed a clip
ping from the Chicago Daily News
which carried a long story on re-
cent trip he made. In the story
there Is the following: AT just
Gas D. m. we passed the gateway
to this marvellous Valley. We stayed
in the Valley for one 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-
tion Of the weeks stay here, but
suffice 1t TO say that we were glad
we had made the trip"
Now Dr., it has never been our
pleasure to meet you, but we GER
.kainly like the sound OF your voice
and in such big newspaper. Keep
up the good work and come TO see
us again.
ALL those who came inside OF the
~ Herald office on election night
must remember how those tele-
phones rang. 1t Is here wished 70
thank the telephone company for
its excellent service. Those girls were
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
onds. We have also noticed here that
in long distance calls you get TO
talk 10 the party desired. rather
than the rest Of the outside world.
nODE up the Magic Valley yes
terday afternoon. This Magic
Valley gets bigger and more
wonderful the longer you stay in it.
Drove out TO Sharyland and met
John Shary. Mr.. Shary seems just
about as earnest in his endeavors as
any man IL has been our pleasure
TO 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" II people can only be
made to learn how good and health
ful 1t Is. 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
ten wondered why we were not born
wealthy instead Of such a good wri-
4e-.
During the recent unpleasantness
IN Europe 10 which America was in
vited. II was our lot 70 be a sailor,
and we never did get seasick. Hope
this is no insinuation.
INQUIRED around about that well
the Texas company has near Ro-
ma. From all we could learn the
derrick has been closed 70 inspection
From certain sources il was said
that it is now showing for about
200 barrels per day. Going to keep
on the trail OF 1t and hope to tell
you something definite about II in
a day or so. A good producer there
will mean lots Of money for lots o.
people. II must not be overrated nor
underestimated.
THE federal grand jury has been
dismissed and nothing out of

When we get through with the wash
