nOWN here in the Tip Of Texas
there always is something big
going on. just as a reminder
a few Of the activities Of the past
two weeks will be given.
Plans are going ahead rapidly for
the formation of a Better Business
Bureau OF the Valley, which will
clean out undesirableS in all lines OF
business. help counteract the vicious
unfounded anti-Valley propaganda
being dessimated in some sections.
Gov. Dan Moody, loyal friend Of
this section. paid ii a visit. looked il
all over from one end to the other,
then delivered a ringing plea for
F1sley unity and pledged its efforts
tn53ard shutting up its critics.
'Harlingen decided to hold an cleo
ton July 8 to vote a S200.0 900 bond
issue for an extensive airport. made
plans TO build an imposing country
clubhouse on the edge Of the NUM-
cipal golf course, opened its new,
modern school house. Raymond
vile also began raising funds for
a country club.
In San Benito. II was announced
work is oon to begin on a $1,000 0
school building program and a $751;
600 church. Mercedes also will have
a new school. News or lively build
ing activity has been received from
other Valley towns.
An African parrot celebrated her
thirtieth birthday by laying her
first egg and a queen bee, turned
air-minded, rode from Mexico TO the
Brownsville airport, proceeded TO
vamp every American bee in sight
and try TO run the pilots away from
the hangers.
All Of these things and many
others happened in only two weeks.
Think Of It'll
BROWNSVILLE and other Valley
Id towns are the most popular
tourists centers In the entire
state. There IS no denying it. The
most conclusive proof is the fact
that the railroads do not offer all
y~ear-around excursion rates to any
city in the state except Brownsville.
Texas has many wonderful places
but this action Of the railroads
stamps the Valley as the real Won
derland. This is just one more OF
many things TO brag about down
here at the end OF the rainbow.
YESTERDAY business and profess
sional women from. all over Tex
as began arriving for a conven-
Tor which will last for three days,
&eginning Monday. The Valley well
comes them with open arms. They
are among the states most promi-
nent citizens. They will like it down
here as every one does. Many OF
them will come back - some to
stay.
livery fireman has his day. This
n. one certainly has enjoyed his,
fifteen OF them. But now:
The Engineer comes round the
bend,
Goodbye. dear readers, goodbye;
The Fireman's frolic now must
end,
Goodbye. dear readers. goodbye.
This is either a theme song or a
swan song. Take your pick. The
throttle is being turned over TO more
able hands. The substitute goes
back to warm the bench.
The Fireman takes a back seat.
Long live The Engineer.
SALUTE
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-06-08

ONCE the Valley or any one Of
its towns makes up its mind to
do something, it does it and does
ID in a big way. Witness the man
ner in which Brownsville voters rail-
lied to the cause Of the port and
approved an additional issue Of
81, SOC, 900 worth Of bonds for the
project by a record breaking major
ity and the largest turnout OF vo-
tiers In history. This action exem-
plifies the spirit of the Valley-to
do big things in q big way-in a
hurry.

ONLY one section in the world,
the Valley. could boast Of so
many happy events within the
past two weeks as have occurred
down here, Census reports showed
it to be the fastest growing section
in the country. Its growth has been
SO rapid. SO solid that it astonishes
any one who has not been in the
Valley to discover the reason. One
look, however, is sufficient 10 ex-
plain IL all. Gov. Moody was right
when he said this IS the modern
Promised Land.

easy Liverpool cables and reports OF

The new October contract sold
off 70 1884 and March to 1898 dur
ing the early trading, making net
declines OF about 10 points but the
decline OF about $500 per bale from
the high prices Of Monday brought
in considerable covering. There may
also have been some buying in an
ticipation of a bullish weekly report
from the weather bureau and the
market held fairly steady at the
end Of the Srst half hour with
prices showing rallies Of 2 TO 8
points from the lowest.
The market advanced after the
early offerings had been AFFORDED

stimulated TO some extent by the
firmness Of grains. and was suffi-
cient TO send prices up 10 1890 for
