IN OUR
VALLEY
BY c. NJ. HALL

n Valley.
We crawl out from between
the sheets and HE ourselves out to
get our favorite newspaper to see
what we can see.
The election is about all settled
with the republicans hanging on to
so small q lead that it rally does not
amount 10 much. General rainfall
over the Valley-and football galore.
So far as today is concerned the
rain of yesterday and Friday might
make the highway more dangerous
and we gotta drive carefully.
The outcome OF the election really
does not matter so much, except TO
give us all a chance 70 crow both
ways in q partisanship way.
But when IL comes TO football that
is a more serious matter. It now
seems that the championship of the
Southwestern conference lies be-
tween Texas and r. {. u. And OF
course A. & NJ. will have TO 60 and
try TO fix things up for the Frogs
On Turkey Day.
This is a great life. and if you do
not get something out of 1t blame
no but yourself
90 far as we are concerned we had
~ Just about as soon see the
Brownsville Junior College Scor-
pions play some good team. That
is a mighty good team. OF course
a good college team could beat them,
but that is what il will take. Click
ing with a m~achine-like precision
which they show these days. Browns
Vile is rightly proud OF the Scor-
pions.
GOVERNOR Francisco Castellanos,
In Jr.. Of the state OF Tamaulipas
Friday afternoon saw his first
football game, when the Junior Col
lege took on the Aggie Fish. He got
all excited. Jumped UP and down
like an American fan-and took r.
b. Creager to a thorough cleaning
on his knowledge Of football by ask
ing why they did everything. He said
a town that could turn out a crowd
ike that to a football game had the
spirit of a city. and football gave
him the most enjoyable afternoon
he has spent in many a day. IL
makes everybody that way II given
q chance.
GONE would-be smart fellow has
y said that college notoriety these
DAYS is being made with men
Napoleon would have used TO dig
bitches with. We pity that fellow.
He does not know that football
makes for stamina. sportsmanship,
and moral fibre. The only thing Is
that TOO many are prone to give too
much credit TO the mar carrying the
ball. and do not e. the fellows who
open a hole for him that you could
drive a hearse through.
MINATED Annie says a lotta
n people do not try hard just be-
cause 1t is hard and trying.
MEXICO has raised the duty on
l crossing cattle into the United
:" States. This amounts to a con-
si6eration Of about three dollars a
head. But at the present writing
few head are being crossed in the
Valley. The removal of the tax,
however. may lead to a stimulus in
Z the purchase of Mexican stock for
fcttening and marketing In the
United States. And IL will give add
cd revenue TO Mexican growers.
THE Pharr Kiwanis club is now IN
the throes OF preparing for the
burial of Pernicious Propaganda.
The members OF the club might be
aid to be all hot and bothered about
Dame Rumor.
"Old Man Gloom" has been bur-
led BY quite a number from time TO
time. but the best way We have ever
found to absolutely kill him is TO
pay no attention TO him. Propa-
ganda has become such a pernicious
thing that all newspaper editors
will rejoice with Pharr If they can
bury il forever. 1t is r thing a
newspaper editor stands on guard
against. and many q time wonders
whether he is getting his two-edged
axe or a blue pencil turned into a
piece Of soft soap.
