IN OUR
VALLEY
BY c. NJ. HALL

fruit crop VIII begin moving out OF
the Valley.
It is said the crop will be short
this year but no comparative esti-
mate was made.
While the letter is from one of
several concerns in the Valley II
sets forth that the fruit should be
handled with care, and that the
boxes are properly filled.
This concerns the entire Valley.
and great advertising for this entire
section can be obtained If every piece

California now does.
VTALLEY officers today are setting
out at new angles TO ~apprehend
those supposed to be connected
with a plot 10 kidnap two Of wealth.
lest border business men.
Sheriff Brown OF Brownsville
last night said premature publicity
had probably crippled his efforts TO
capture the alleged kidnapers. Il
do not know that we would have
captured them yesterday but we
would certainly have had a better
chance" he said. But the sheriff
added that he still has an ace or
50 20 his sleeve.
Tybday there is a rumor about the
streets of Brownsville that this per-
son or that person would be repri-
manded. or that discharge might
result because of leaks which made
the details of the attempted arrest
public property. No person gave
The Brownsville Herald all the facts
as published. The facts early be-
came public property on the streets
yesterday, with various groups dis
cussing 1t. The first telephone call
was received in the case as early
as Wednesday.
vYTHICH again reminds the engi-
wv neer Of this column that gang
- sters will not find the Valley
non its citizens healthy pickings.
There are still quite a number left
here who shoot and ask questions
afterwards, and no such hiding holes
or police protection are furnished
As IN some large cities.
VISITOR TO Brownsville today
IN was praising the city police
force. Said he ran a red light
and the cop whistled him down.
When IL was explained that the Of
fender was q visitor, the rules were
explained to him and the policeman
offered every service possible. "A
little of that goes a long way with
visitors.
TOT a letter from San Benito TAX
ing issue with us on a recent
editorial which appeared In this
column advocating that parents
closely watch to see that their child
rem do home study while in school.
AS an editor we long ago became
accustomed to being taken to task.
but this letter said evidently we did
not know anything about children.
While this letter Is unsigned 1t is
evidently from q woman, and we
are going TO diverge a bit from
custom OF not noticing anonymous
letters. Another thing we wish TO
say is that If il Is from a woman
we are licked TO 60 with, so We al
Al anything.
EAft We dc want to say. that while
Friend Wife may not admit a great
hand in the deal, We have have had
some part il the partial rearing of
two children up 70 the ages Of Is
and Is, and that we are strong for
home study.
We gather from what the San
Benito woman has to say, in about
five pages, is that she does most of
the home work for her boy. II so
no wonder she is "agin" 1t, and also
II true she is missing one great pur-
pose Of home study in having the
children solve their own problems,
and consequently is doing her boy
little good. He is riding her like q
language student rides a translator.
Two public school teachers and a
business college educator called
lis up TO congratulate the engi-
reer OF this column on that same
editorial. We Just mention this TO
show that because we print crit
ici5ms Is no signal that that Is all
we get. We think the criticisms
should be printed because the writ
ers have no source otherwise to get
back at uT. one joke Of the whole
affair is that most OF ii was con-
tributed. But we subscribe to all Of
II.
TTTHICH reminds us that Animated
wv Annie got smart the other night
while driving, and told US If
automobile manufacturers had in
tended back seat driving they would
have put steering wheels back there.
THOUGHTS will turn back to Ark
ansas once in a while. Remem-
Der the old fellow that looked
at the telephone and said there was

ming struck the wires.
YES. that's her" he said. hang
