IN OUR
VALLEY
BY CHARLES HALL

S-B BY CHARLES Hall -
Holm L. Newman, who came to
the Valley a skeptic on the water
supply for irrigation purposes
to become converted and purchase
ten acres lost his job on that &C.
count.
Mr. Newman was secretary of the
Wizconsir's Real Estate Brokers
bc1rd. II the thing is that bitter,
II seems that MI. Newman has
switched over TO the side OF the
Valley, so far as the Wisconsin
lard Is concerned: so the next best
thing for him TO do is TO come on
down here and make his home with
Us. Mr.. Newman started out on a
ac-d will trip and showed too much
gccd viii. IL seems.
Why not get the whole real estate
board down here and turn them
cver to Earl Bacon. He seems TO
have n way about him.
zlHILE much discussion has been
WI going or about condemnation
proceedings 10 obtain lands de-
sired by the government for a deep
water port at Brownsville. an cleo
ton on a bond issue OF $500. 900 IS
just around the corner.
It IS thought that this election
viii be called about March Is or IL.
That Is one time that entitled voters
should get out in toto. and cast
their ballots. The stronger the vote
the stronger our bonds will be i'll

ETTERS have been going out
from the Brownsville Chamber
OF Commerce to Better Business
Bureaus calling TO their attention
the TACT that statistics on the Valley
show this section to have experisnc-
ed a steady substantial growth.
These letters are being mailed
- Offset an idea. which has been
gaining a loothold among eastern
money lenders TO the effect that
the development in the Valley Is
somewhat OF boom. where true VAL
ues might not be shown.
Substantial figures show that
nothing could be more in error. The
Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce
Is compiling statistics. and compar-
ing the figures with other sections
OF the country to show that rock
bottom values exist here. This will
be Of greater benefit to the Valley
than probably will be realized at
first glance. Financial concerns can
then read the story in figures, and
that Is what counts with such or
CARNATIONS.
A NENT advertising the Valley. We
"a should get more national adj
vertiSing in pictures carrying
both the name Of this section and
the town. For example some pretty
girl pictures.
Some few days ago We said We
had submitted 10 an organization
which furnishes pictures TO about
2.400 newspapers q photograph OF
Senorita Maria Elisa LamaTque.
Notice has been received Of its &C
ceptance. Soon the picture OF Miss
Lamarque and the names OF Browns
Vile. Matamoros and the Valley,
will be carried III many newspapers
throughout the United States.
They will take more OF that kind
too. They flood them In from Flor
ida and California TO such an ex-
tent that one gets the impression
that most OF the beautiful women
Of the United States are to be found
in those two states.
THE Laredo Times Of Monday
carries a tribute to Brownsville's
airport from Frank H. Crockett,
". G.. Delling and v. j. Sinner. Mr..
Crockett is inspector in charge of
immigration at Laredo and Mr.. Del
ing Is in charge Of airplane inspec-
ton there. while Mr.. Sinner is in
charge Of plant quarantine admins
tration.
Brownsville has one of the fin
es. airports to be found anywhere"
they ala quoted as saying. Browns
Vile feels that way about ii. too,
but it is nice 10 hear others say so.
