THE IMPORTANCE Of the
Brownsville municipal airport is be-

vile from Standard oil officials Of
ID rana.

Vile on January 81 or % enroute to
Tampico and other points in Mexico,
using a big tri-motored plane.
They are arranging in advance for
quick passage through here, and will
use the -Matamoros gate

In air transportation circles it is
predicted that before early summer

the dairy possibilities up in Wiliacy
county.
Farmers who have cows are find

Of cows in Willacy county during
1928.
A total Of sl5,ss0 was the amount

substantial foundation has been
laid for the development Of dairy
farming in that section.

seeing that names of streets are
indicated at all intersections in that
