SAY A KIND WORD for the
Valley"
That is the. advice OF a leading
Valley developer to citizens of the
Valley.
Say it to tourists and visitors
Of all kinds-and, for the luv'a
Mike. leave the hammer at home.
Why, you would be surprised to
hear some Of the tales visitors TO
the Valley bring us after they have
been out talking to some Of the
natives.
There is no reason TO boost the
Valley to our visitors If only our
citizens will just stop knocking. The
Valley, If let alone, will sell itself.
1--WE are going to have more visi-
tors than ever before during the
coming winter. Let's all decide nov
to do all in our power to see that
they enjoy their visit so they will
60 home and tell their friends
about us and send them down here
next year.
This is a good time to begin
greeting strangers with a smile and
q CHEEKY word. 1t doesn't cost any
thing and by the time the big
crowds get down here maybe 1t
will have become a habit"
In Our Valley agrees. We owe
Il to ourselves and our visitors to
let them see the delightful. the
pleasant side of life in the Valley.

DR.. JOHN ASHTON, editor If
the Valley Farmer. is adding an
other chapter to his life Of varied
experiences.
Never having been in an airplane
be2fore, he boarded a G. A. II. ship
hEfe Saturday and sailed away for
Mazatlan. away over on the Pa
cific coast in Mexico. Crossing
plains, hills and mountains, he
made a trip in a day which by any
other method would have required
two or three weeks.
Ashton spent several years in the
army during the war and was sent
to Germany as an interpreter after
the armistice.
He spent several years in France
rs correspondent TO a national agri-
cultural publication While there he
made a study Of the Percheron
horses and wrote history Of that
famous breed Of draft animals.
During that time he visited all the
countries Of Europe for his publica-
rion.
He has spent several years in
Mexico.
For the past year he has been
studying the problems Of the VAL

LET'S HEAR the opera in Dali
las tonight" says a Brownsville wife
to her husband at the breakfast
table.
"All right. but we will have to eat

Brownsville home during the COM

THE REAL DAY of the Valley
is HERE. The real dawn Of that
day Is NOW.
The future Of Brownsville is just
as certain as anything human can
be: and its destiny will be fulfilled
Just exactly as you and I 100 times
have prophesied TO each other and
10 others.
THE vision we have mutually ex-
changed-that we used TO talk over
swo years ago-is growing into real
fly at an ever growing pace.
And before anybody realizes Il
Brownsville will be remember this
