The Valley produces the first
cotton every year, markets her
crop early in the season and for
70 years has received the best
price paid during the year.
HOW DO YOU KNOW where
one town stops and the other be-
gins In the Valley?
Sam Ely, travelling salesman from
Dallas, here on his first visit, want
ed to know.
From the time I arrived in Ed
lRburg until I reached Brownsville
n seemed only drove out Of one
city and into the another"
Mr.. Ely, much travelled and not
prone to become enthusiastic over
any section Of the country, thought
the Valley one Of the most attract
i've sections Of the United States
Liked 1t and said so.
Unless some kmocker gets hold Of
Mr.. Ely before he leaves the VAL
ley, he will be an influential
booster.
But "some knocker" is getting
hold Of many enthusiastic boosters
these days and chilling their ardo-.
The pitiful thing about this per-
son Is that he is making his own
condition worse and injuring the
country which is giving him his
living-a country which deserves 20
be one of the best in the land.
Valley citizens who are loyal
should never fail to say a good
word for their homeland and should
at every opportunity set a knocker
right.
CHILD BEATEN by Rather May
DIE" remarks q headline in the
Harlingen Star.
Which is something new In
"snakeology."
OF course, 1t was only a typo
graphical error. and The Herald
may have one as comical in a few
days.
In fact, Bob OF the Mission Times
last week objected 10 The Herald
using "camion" in headline &c
describe q bus.
But that was different. Bob
mA,rely displayed his ignorance Of
'B0fderese."
Those who do not know that a
~camion" Is a bus are those who
have not yet become acclimated.
HERE'S A NEW ONE for avia-
ton enthusiasts.
Earl Akin, Breckenridge builder
and flier of gliders. has a scheme
to motorize his ship with an out
board engine.
A special propeller has been built
and will be attached to the out
board motor. This motor then will
be mounted in the glider and an
effort viii be made to fly It like a
regular airplane."
Akin is popular at north Texas
county fairs, where he makes exhi-
bition flights in his motorless ship
CIA. AvICOLA, S. A., Mexico
City, requests the local chamber Of
commerce for information about
hatcheries in the Valley which ship
baby chicks.
The company plans to import
nure-bred chicks from the Unite
states. shipping them in by air
express.
Valley hatcheries will supply tie
demand and this is likely to de-
yelop a new industry-flying one
dav old chicks to Mexico City.
@. c. Richardson, manager Of the
local chamber, is supplying the
company with names Of incubator
opeEators in the Valley.
BOTH the sports editor and the
society department having rejected
this item, it's UP TO somebody to
give 1t O whirl.
A brownsville citizen Is respon-
rfble for the story that in Nuevc
Laredo last Friday night there wai
a public demonstration OF the sup
porters Of a second place candidate
m a voting contest for the Ugly
King. to reign over the festivities
in the far gate way to Tamaulipa'
on the occasion of Independence
dav celebration. 7 ore commonly
known across the border as the
Dies v seis de Septiempre, or six
teenth of September, coming.
We'll, the partisans OF this can
didate who are not satisfied with
the showing he is making in the
contest. mounted donkeys. and
herded by the mounted police, pa
raded the streets and made speeches
n the plaza, decla-ing that the
citizens were not appreciative OF the
fact that their candidate IS the
ueliest man in Nuevo Laredo, ban
none-and that some way they are
going to put him over.
All Of which Is respectfully refer-
rad 10 the Valley secretaries, lunch
cI,,bs. American Legion, or whom
soarer. TO see who can produce the
ua3@est man for the Valley fair. OF
nave Americans the same sense q
huu1or as their Mexican neighbors?
