TIVE new industries are promised
Brownsville some time in the
near future by the Brownsville
Chamber of Commerce. G. G. Rich
ardson. secretary. claims arrange
ments for these industries are far
enough advanced 10 warrant their
announcement.
Next to work starting on the port.
the coming OF plants which would
add as many as 100 employees TO the
payroll Of this city. constitutes the
best news that can be gathered for
the business interests Of the city.
Our next step is to materialize
them. Lately there has been re-
ported 10 The Herald and other
newspapers of the Valley projects,
which IL they materialiZe, would be
great things, but this writer now has
one or two in mind. which at present
seem decidedly on the blink. This
hurts. The newspapers received the
announcements in the good faith
they were seemingly given drom
sources other than the chamber Of
commerce) when II was later found
their coming depended upon stock
selling schemes.
No industry can truthfullv be an
rounced as coming" when its open
ing depends upon the sale Of stock.
4 BIG PAYROLL, preferably of
" the tin bucket kind. Is n OF
the greatest things that can
happen to Brownsville, or any other
Valley town for that matter. II will
bring a weekly expenditure up and
down the main thoroughfares. which
will make the difference between
good times and prosperous times.
More factories is the cry most
often made TO the chamber OF CON-
merce and one Of the hardest orders
To fill. The reason. as has been
here said before, is because indus
tries are usually home grown and
are not removed from one city TO
another.
But with the coming Of the port
Brownsville will have something to
offer which will TOY 10 this city
many concerns, which otherwise
would not consider U at all.
JUDGE William S. West, Rotarily
known as Bill. is all hot and
bothered over newspaper reports
that none has vet reported a tur-
kew killed since the season.
Judge West has bagged his COB
bier and 50 declares. Judging from
the few that have reported this feat,
his picture should be run.

little augmented yesterday.
About $50 a. m. he passed out his
predictions for the next "a hours
including the arrival OF a norther.
with probably rain accompanying
IL. Machinery breaking down
brought The Herald off the press
after the cool wave had started
moving in. and not one line had to
be changed TO conform to what
gas happening.
IN keeping with the trend OF things
today TO open up work and give
the unemployed Jobs. the city is
doing a bit Of street and other i'm
provement work.
SO far as possible work that the
city has in mind. from digging
bitches TO construction Of the new
filtration plant, should be opened
and men hired. The home folks
should be employed first and the
married men given first considera-
zion throughout.

Mr.. Slauchter's father. G. c.
lyl slaughter was a great Texas
character. In fact he was the
first white child born in Texas under
the flag Of the republic. He moved
all over the state and finally settled
ir Dallas 70 live.
His son still holds Texas the
greatest state in the union and that
the Valley is the greatest spot on
earth can be deduced from his con-
versation.
II goes like this: Texas Is the best
state in the United States, the
United States Is the best place In
tee world. And the Valley Is the
best place In Texas.
