THE above happenings are selected
from development accounts as
headlined each day OF last week.
It takes but a glance to show that
the people Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, on both sides Of the river,
have in mind to quickly get their
roads in shi pc.
Outstanding in the weeks hap
pen.ngs Is the attitude the federal
government Of Mexico Is taking, as
expressed by General Juan Andrea
Almazan. III developing northern
Mexico. He said that as a cabinet
member he is going to do all in his
power to develop that part OF the
country Which I love So"
He Is also quoted as having said
that the Mexican government wants
tourists to see a development on
the Mexican side Of the river SINH
lar to that on the American. All
or which will rebound to Valley
prosperity.
TTerschel p. Matthews OF New York
III formerly OF the Valley. writes
A. B. Ewing. secretary OF the
Mission chamber OF commerce, that
a great hit Is being made on New
Workers by a window display OF
Valley grapefruit in the Southern
Pacific office. This display he said
"a where the Rolls Royces outnum-
tr the Cadillacs 5 TO J..
let MI. Herschel tell Of the ef-
sct IL Is having:
Il had the pleasure Of playing
bridge last week with q young n
gineer In Brooklyn. It was not long
before the conversation drifted TO
Texas and grapefruit. He was very
interested and knew as much about
the Rio Grande Valley as ] did. ]
asked him where he got his infor-
nation and he explained that he
had seen a beautiful window dis
play on Fifth Avenue-to be exact
SCI Fifth Avenue. He went in and
they enthusiastically told him all
about our little Valley and what
YOU we're doing down there. He
was quite impressed and when he
learned I was from down there, he
forgave my contract bridge as he
said. he could easily understand
why my mind drifts back TO such
a beautiful spot, and forgot that
spades we're trumps and ], myself,
had bid four spades"
This is an example OF what the
proper kind of foreign advertising
viii do for the Valley.
40 far as We can see, the irrigation
~ question raised by John L. New
man, secretary OF the Wisconsin
Real Estate Board brought forth
lust what 1t should have brought
forth-facts and figures TO show
that We have ample water tor irri-
cation purposes for all time, with
the river water and rainfall proper
ly handled.
II seems to the engineer Of this
column that the Ecxt step Is to get
some of those facts and figures in
TO Wisconsin papers. There many
OF Wisconsin whose minds have
been poisoned on the subject can
become enlightened.
uyaye a letter from Harry Warner
III of San Juan. We have never
- met you, Mr.. Warner. but you
can abandon your fears. This Is
what you might call a public pri-
yate meSSage.)
If you want further advice r
is TO eat heartily, exercise freely,
and sleep a lot.
As a special service to the pub
&c, We will attempt to answer all
questions from our readers except
those OF the lovelorn. We have TO
draw the line there.

tV of crowning two queens. and

cause-a hospital.
Brownsville is contributing some

some way TO get a dance with al
Of them, ms usual.
yIThiie many Of the bad things
WI going on in this day and time
w are told by the press. 1t Is not all
