LABOR DAY is over and lahorers

The day In the Valley consisted
mostly Of a holiday from toil-an

spent In hunting, fishing, bathing

the many recreational opportuni-
ties afforded in the Valley.
About the only public attractions
were a fight card at Reynosa and
a rodeo at Mercedes.
But Labor day in the North and
East is quite a different affair.
There 1t Is a real holiday-pa-

Some Of them have worked on
her plane at one time or another,
some Of them have been in the air

THIS IS A WEEK of great i'm
portance to landowners in the dis

On Saturday an election is to be
held which will determine the fu-

Farmers Of the district will vote
on the proposal to issue and sell

Why not grapefruit-vending ma

Such a device might serve to
greatly increase the consumption OF
