course.
Said engineer halls from Laredo,
the town from which Brownsville
copied its air maj service. and
which is now hitting back by be-
ginning to grow citrus fruits.
The column director came to
town today sorter suddenlike.. He
wishes TO announce that he has
come here to live. He has seen
every bit Of Brownsville from the
depot to the Herald office, and he
knows that he cannot help but like
1t.
Now that he knows that he is go
Ing TO like 1t. he is going to ex-
press the hope that all the good
people here like him. He comes
with malice toward none and VIII
be for everything he believes to be
for the good Of Brownsville and the
Valley.
After a hard days labor what he
wants most right now is somewhere
TO live.
oh, yes, he forgot 10 tell you.
Pretty soon the real boss OF this
column and two other little engi-
neers will be coming down. They
plan to make the trip this week
end, If this column director can 60
meet them.
They said they would be glad TO
come down and they are being writ
ten that they are going to like It.
Tonight he is going to write them q
good picture Of all that he has seen
and heard.
THE MISSUS isn't so hard to
get along with. She comes from an
old fashioned Central Texas stock
and believes all Of Texas the great
est place in the world. We call her
q Campbellite, when she is out of
hearing, and a Christian when she
Is listening. But she is a kind that
while she has lost the idea that can
dy will rot out the teeth OF children,
she still believes in forcing them to
eat little turnip greens once in

sake SO to speak.
The kids are ~ and IA yeas old
respectively. The boy has heard
Wild tales Of how many ducks can
be killed down here. and he Is an

They have heard that Brownsville
has one OF the best school systems
in the state and they will soon be
in there seeing II two and two still

THE READER is asked to bear
with this self discussion today.
Writing this column today is very
much like playing bridge. When In

have nothing to write, write about
yourself and yours. OF course the
missus would not appreciate that

just hoping she viii not see II.

To sort OF let you know who we are
and that we orally want TO know you.

he is going TO have a lot OF fun and
