Observations yesterday and from
~ desk TODAY, every one in the
Valley had az enjoyable time.
Many made o. y 81 occasion TO
swell the crowd az TIE Valley fair.
Those who have moi yet attended
should do sc and learn more about
what is going on in this delta OF
ours.
Then after they have seen the
exhibits they can get a big kick out
at the rodeo. Doesn't matter wheth-
-er you have seen many before. Some
of the best riders and ropers in the
nation are there.
After seeing 1t We are still OF the
opinion as we have always been that
some folks have a hard time making
a living and others pick a hard way.
MAYOR Frank Osborn of Meal
len yesterday is credited with
the statement that the 81 news
papers Of the Valley probably are
so muzzled by reason OF public util-
ity advertising that no story con-
tanning the fac.s of the meeting at
McAllen yesterday would be pub
lished.
We are glad to see that the Nc
Alien mayor did not go so far hay
wire as TO forget 10 put in the word
probably" Looks as II every time
any one enters a hot fight on any
thing they invariably build up for
themselves a distorted view. And
the hotter the fight the they
seem to imagine somebody is dis
eliminating against them.
Any editor of any experience will
n usually take a public utility to
task quicker than any other or
Y hnization. Somehow or other,
whether fairly or otherwise. he
seems to gain public sympathy, and
tie utility company more than any
other fears to cancel any advertis-
ing.
For the same psychological reason
q runt Of a hog killed by a railway
company can usually be made a
prize animal before the average jury
and heavy damages collected. the
circumstances Of little matter.
THIS McAllen meeting was that of
the Rio Grande Valley League
OF Municipalities. Out of it a
committee was authorized TO form
a uniform traffic code for the VAL
ley.
That is something constructive.
Driving down the big traffic artery
last night from Harlingen eight cars
and three trucks were counted with
cut tail lights and one truck with
ont any lights at all. That same
committee might work out some
further plan TO aid vi traffic Off
cers along such lines as that. The
officers are all right. the only thing
wrong is they cannot be everywhere
at the same time.
vITHAT promises 10 be a hard win
wv ter in the north finds the VAL
ley with its head still far above
tire frost line and going right ahead
with its planting and blowing.
The visiting Valley editors from
other parts are finding much to
raise their opinion Of this all-year
garden.
ND the word promise reminds US
IN that Animated Annie says she
knows lots o. promising young
men who do not keep them.
ONLY forty-six thousand persons
saw the Texas-A. g. vi. game at
Austin yesterday.
These depressing times all over
the country are certainly being re-
f,ected. People have got where they
will not travel more than across the
continent nor spend more than a
million or so dollars on q single day
10 see football games.
1t Is hard 70 decide what will be-
come OF this nation, so hard pressed
for necessities.
nUR candid opinion stnl remains
that the stock market slump is
not SO much responsible for So
called nations business Slump. It
is just buying getting back TO nor
NAL after a great stimulation by the
monthly payment plan. and the ma
ton getting somewhat saturated on
that. The market was only an in
d.cator Of what was happening.
CHANCES are that any man who
II. Will give the public what IL
wants. and wants badly. will still
be able to amass a fortune in a few
days.
And looking about we have come
u the opinion that the person who
next presents the public with some
new form of entertainment will be-
come a speedy dollar gatherer.
What II will be none can say. else
they would be gathering in the shek-
els. For a while it seemed that
miniature golf would turn the trick.
but that is fast fading. The world
has become 50 sophisticated that
circus or stage acts rarely startle
nGny more. and the distorted screen
Denes. or rather optical illusions
are killing off what might remain.
But why worry e money when
We have work TO do.
