IN DUR
VALLEY
BY CHARLES HALL

S-B By CHARLES HALL -
John 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
WiSconSin's Real Estate Brokers
board. II the thing is that bitter,
it seems that Mr.. Newman has
switched over TO the side Of the
Valley. so far as the Wisconsin
bcerd 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
good will trip and showed too much
good will, II seems.
Why not get the whole real estate
board down here and turn them
over to Earl Bacon. He seems 10
have q way about him.
vITHILE much discussion has been
wv going on about condemnation
proceedings to obtain lands de-
sired by the government for a deep
water port at Brownsville, an cleo
ton on a bond issue of 81, 500, 900 is
Just around the corner.
II is thought that this election
will be called about April 20 or IS.
That Is one time that entitled voters
should get out in toto, and cast
their ballots. The stronger the vote
the stronger bonds will be in
the eyes Of the buyers.
ETTERS have been going out
Il. from the Brownsville Chamber
Of Commerce TO Better Business
Bureaus calling TO their attention
the fact that statistics on the Valley
show this section to have experience
ed q steady substantial growth.
These letters are being mailed
to offset an idea. which has been
gaining a foothold among eastern
money lenders TO the effect that
the development in the Valley Is
somewhat Of a 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 10 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.
NENT advertising the Valley, we
IN should get more national adj
vertising in pictures carrying
both the name Of this section INC
the town. For example some pretty
girl pictures.
Some few days ago we said we
had submitted to an organization
which furnishes pictures 70 about
2.400 newspapers a photograph OF
Senorita Maria Elisa Lamarque.
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 in 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 all 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'5
airport from Frank H. Crockett,
M. q. Delling and ". J. Sinner. Mr..
Crockett is inspector in charge OF
immigration at Laredo and Mr.. Del
ling 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
est airpcrts to be found anywhere"
they are quoted as saying. Browns
VILE feels that way about 1t, too,
but IL is nice to hear others say so.

VKTASHINGTON-There is a ques-
WV ton whether .-.aleS still out
number females in these Uni
ted States. and II will be answered
BY this years census. The excess
Of males in the country's history,
DIR. Joseph A. Hill. acting director
OF the census. explains. has been
due largely to immigration. In 1920
the ratio was l04 men TO 100 wo-
men.

NEW HAVEN : Best whiskey, le-
gal. 80 cents a pint! Only q posi-
bility. William II. Hull OF Peoria,

could be made and sold for that
price.
