In the Valley this year We have
much compared to many other Sec
tons of the country. So let's sit
back on Thanksgiving Day and en-
JOY the many things We have to
enjoy.
IN keeping with this feeling there
viii be opened in Brownsville
this week. a campaign TO get
every citizen TO do that little bit of
work about the house, or OH the
premises, that he has been counting
or doing for so long, and yet has
never done.
The idea is to get about a thous-
and persons in Brownsville TO agree
to have $40 worth OF work done.
This means $4,000 will be scattered
to a working class. which right now
will appreciate that ten thousand
more than some would a million. 1t
Will practically do away with any
want that may exist.
Then IL will brighten up the city
like a new dollar.

X ments!
Los EbanoS Is to be given mail
service by the post office depart
ment. And did you read the condi-
tons as set forth. THAT THE
HOUSES MUST BE NUMBERED.
If the houses in Los Ebanos must
be numbered before mail service
4 be had. why cannot Los Ebanos
sit back and say: Have Browns
vile to number her " houses first
or else stop the service" The post
office department has within its
power TO get that thing. so badly
needed. done without further ado.
Stop the mail service and see how
quickly Messrs. RoSenthal and the
city commissioners will find a way
to do that. which to date they are
exhibiting very little interest in.
TT Is about time to give praise where
praise is due. This time we wish
70 tip our hat to a loser and not
a winner. That loser is the 1880
Brownsville Eagle football team.
These boys. very few OF whom are
over sixteen years of age. started
out the season as a green team. Their
first district game was a defeat.
But through a gloomy season so
Ear as scores were concerned they
have stayed in there, until last Fri
CAV afternoon the Eagles made a
creditable showing against a much
more powerful team. They were de-
feated. but Austin knew she had
been in a football game. and that
game looked very different from
what the score indicates. With the
same application next year as this,
they will not be rated the underdogs,
but a team 10 be feared. Great foot
ball teams come muchly from hard
work.
THERE are many people sojourn-
ing in the Valley these days who
DO not live here. And from
what can be gathered the majority
consists of persons who have been
here before and have returned.
All OF those who have been here
before loudly exclaim. Il never saw
before such development anywhere"
Those who have never been here be-
fore declare: You really do not
know what you do have in this VAL
ley"
Yes. dear visitors. We do know
what we have in the Valley. All
we want is a lot Of other persons
TIC get 70 know Just as much. and
come or down and help US Valley
ties out with the Job And at the
same time help themselves.
WHILE this cleanup. paint-up, re-
w pair-up vogue is on let's up with
- a few more palms. An old. old
cry. we knov-but how much bet
ter they do make the Valley appear,
ard how little w are really doing
in that line today.
THE South Texas Chamber of Com
merce meeting at Laredo has
gone on record in favor Of a
larger appropriation for the Texas
College OF Arts and Industries at
Kingsville. |
All South Texas should get behind
that move. Texas Tech at Lubbock
4 developing into n of the finest
xrhools in the state although only
about four years old. The College
az Kingsville serves a territory al
most as large. or al least the ratio
OF state funds II receives is out OF
al proportion 10 the territory served.
This section Of Texas needs a col
lege nearer than Austin or Houston.
The territory is large enough to
support it.
ONE reason the college at Lubbock
is so well supported is that West
Texas has a way of getting most
everything she wants at Austin.
This is done through committees,
sometimes referred TO as lobbying.
II the West Texans are smart
enough to present their claims in
such q manner as to get recognition,
can we not 90 and do likewise for
