Il, portant news to the Valley, is
printed In today's Brownsville
Herald. And that is good news. 1t
means that q section Is I'D and
coming when every lead story" a
newspaper prints on its first page
has TO do directly with the section
in which II circulates.
TO the Valley perhaps the most
important bit of news is that
- q special committee, represent
ling the governor and real estate
&nen in Wisconsin, will visit the
Valley that even before they ar
Rive. Governor Dan Moody will
come down and urge its residents
TO get together and stay together.
THE delegation from the Badger
State, it is TO be hoped. will be
composed Of fair-minded men.
III they are, and IL is to be presumed
that they will be, great benefit will
accrue to the Valley from their visit.
A spirit Of goodwill will be engend-
cred between Texas and Wisconsin.
Both must depend upon each other
for many products. Talk OF boy
colts by either Of them is unneces-
sary and costly.
THE inspectors from Wisconsin
dor that Is what they will bel
will give the Valley q thorough
going-over. The Valley welcomes 1t.
One Of the greatest assets Of this
wonderful country is that II can
stand and likes TO stand rigid in
spections.
The board OF examiners will be
sent back to their homes in the
Middlewest talking TO themselves
about the Valley. They will eel
others about the magic of the Magic
Valley which never yet has failed
TO work.
CANADA very sensibly has reduced
T. the duties on fresh vegetables
which it imports. The Valley
will reap q sizeable part Of the BEN
eflts OF this wise move.
Valley vegetables and citrus, leav-
ing here in special cars or by air
planes, and. later, by water, will
reach thousands OF tables in Cam
ada. Canadians admire and demand
quality. That is just what the VAL
ley has TO offer them.
nut Canada is not the only Sec
"A ton In which the products OF
the Valleys wonderful soil will
vim more favor. The rest Of the
country is being wised up to their
value.
European countries are taking to
the Valleys golden, delicious grape
fruit like a goat does to tomato
cans. When the Valley gets its
ports. IL can expect an enormous
increase In foreign demand for its
fruit. Our neighbors across the sea
demand the best.
NHANY Of those residents Of the
I Los FreSnoS community who
- voted against the port bond is
u are now sorry for It. They were
laboring under misapprehensionS, it
seems and many thought it would
cost them much more than II will.
One leading citizen out that way
got mixed up in his figures and
got the idea that three-tenthS per
cent was the same as one-third. He
became scared and spread the alarm
aNOund the countryside. The re-
suit was, naturally enough. that he
gathered unto himself many cohorts.
The best way to reach the average
mans heart or vote is through his
pocketbook.
TT IS never too late to be sorry or,
sometimes. to jump on the band
wagon. Many anti-bond voters.
having been convinced Of the true
facts, r doing just that. They are
remembering now good Brownsville
has been 10 them. They rejoice that
there has been no change so far, no
desire for retaliation.
II was Brownsviile's generosity
which gave Los FresnoS q paved
road all the way to this city. And
Brownsville had to stretch many
legal points and many po~cketbooks
to do it. At that time there we're
few complaints. There are no more
now. There should not be. Com
~knunities with common interests
ought to and will stick together in
the Valley.
ZONE day. 1t now seems evident,
~ by the time the port is complet-
ed. Los FresnoS will get still
another road - TO Brownsville Har-
Dor. Then Ii will be only nine
miles away. Right now the route
by actual measure &c the site of the
port Is shorter by way Of Browns
vile than IL is to Point Isabel. The
new highway will reduce 1t by seven
miles. That is one reason why the
