NUEVO LAREDO. Mexican town
across the Rio Grande from Laredo,
will eliminate danger OF mad
dogs"
Anti-rabies serum is being admin
istered TO every dog in town by the
health board under orders Of the
city officials.
A charge of 2.25 pesos is being
made per inoculation and all dogs
not inoculated are 10 be shot.
This is a slightly drastic method
but one which should prove highly
effective. With precautions being
taken in Brownsville at present the
menace may be controlled. II it
Isn't it might be well to inaugurate
The "Nuevo Laredo method IN this
city.
WHIT ROGERS, secretary Of the
McAllen Chamber Of Commerce, the
other day told Lions there Of the
need Of a national advertising cam
paign for the Valley and intimated
he would bring the matter before
the Valley Chamber Of Commerce
executives at their next meeting in
his city on Aug. p.
This is a matter about which
much has been said and but little
DONE"
The Valley necessarily will make
q genuine effort to attract tourist
traffic some day. When that day
arrives some money is going to be
spent on advertising the entire
section.
To make this advertising fund ef-
fective, a committee Of Valley lead
srs will be named to select the ter
ritory in which q Valley appeal is
most likely to produce results. Then
some reliable advertising agency Is
going to be given the available
money to prepare a campaign and
place it in the leading newspapers
Of the section to which the appeal
is to be addressed.
When that method is followed the
greatest good will be accomplished
for the money spent and Valley
land men and developers who are
most interested will be ready TO
contribute to the fund.
THE CAMERON COUNTY Tu-
berculosis association plans an in
tensive campaign against the dis
ease in this section.
Memberships at 81 are 10 be sold
60 provide funds for preliminary
work and it is intended to finance
a.hospital as the major aim Of the
p%fanization.
The association. organized at a
meeting last week in san Benlto,
has the support Of the county
health unit and is affiliated with
the state association.
The organization has an oppor-
tunity for service which Is sure TO
appeal to the public.
CORRECTION:
The Herald report Monday Of the
Point Isabel Yacht club said that
No. 4. winner Of the catboat race,
was the property Of Don z. Por-
ter" This was an error. There was
no Don Z. Porter who had boat
in the event. Don Z. Currier IS
owner Of the prize winning craft.
And Tony Valent was the driver.
NOW THE WRITER Of In Our
Valley has exposed his Ignorance.
The scientists who went TO South
America did not discover anything
new when they found natives using
tuice Of the papaya TO make tender
a tough beefsteak.
Citizens OF Mexico has known this
"secret" for many generations.
The Herald was no more than on
the streets than we are informed
that papayas are used regularly
here 10 make meat tender.
Here is the method as IT was given
70 the writer:
Secure the steak-somehow.
Cut a napaya open, spread hall
of It on the steak and let i remain
several hours.
Co., the steak after 1t has been
washed.
Guaranteed result--a tender, de-
licious steak and no flavor Of the
papaya.
TEXAS IS awake to the opportun-
ity for profit in dairying.
A group Of Brazos county farmers
and Bryan business men last week
chartered a big bus and made q
tour OF dairying centers OF Texas
seeking information.
Having tired of the one-crop
system and Of putting 81 the eggs
IN one basket by raising cotton only,
our farmers are seeking way out,
Geo. w. johnson, district farm
agent. said. "Dairying appears 70
offer the best opportunity and We
are making q study Of results oo-
tanned in this state"

Je.sey herd at Falfurrias. They
also made stops at Taylor. Austin
Ruda. Round Rock. Kingsville, Cor
