in OUR
VALLEY
BY c. VI. HALL

NOIHER attempted coup u tie
~ Mexican federal government has
been Suppressed-on paper. An
ether uprising has been suppressed.
although officials at Mexico City
knew nothing about Il. They knew
nothing about IL. because 1t was
purely imaginative
For some unknown reason Mata-
nloros for the past few days has lien
seething with excitement and wild
! stories OF this or that about TO hap
zen. Little attention has been paid
70 II. until yesterday afternoon the
engineer Of this column was dragged
back 10 his office on seeming semi
official reports that Rubio would
resign last night.
After two hours Of waiting on
wires from Mexico City the word
came back that all is peaceful Is
a be, and resigning i about the
last thing Rubio has In mind az
present.
One way to find trouble Is to look
for it. and there seems to be an
element across the river. which By
word OF mouth would stir UP some
thing. Mexico needs. and Is seeking.
development, nor revolutions.
NONE CT these wild rumors Is being
IN accepted by friends Of Mexico
on this side of the river for
anything except beer talk, or some
Observation-Disclosures faction express
ing a wish.
The way to start matters seething
on this side of the river is for some
writer or speaker 10 express an opin-
ion on some subject. which is a bit
adverse to the "whoopla, boopa doop,
we are the biggest, best and out
growingest community in the world
as some would have written OF heard
constantly. Such a writer Is liable
to receive letters threatening TO ride
him out of the Valley on a rail.
Every one in the Valley should be
for It's welfare all the time, and
lend every energy TO It's building
for his own profit. If for no other
reason. But II some one should ex-
press one view contrary to the sup
rosed orthodox procedure, he should
be granted the right to express II,
and have II passed as merely his
opinion without threats OF annihi-
lation.
THE engineer Of this column Is
constantly running into the fear
of the printed truth. which
shows the least bit OF not being the
most favorable 10 the Valley, react
ing as somewhat OF q calamity.
For instance we are often receiv-
ing letters that the river rises should
rot be published. One the other day
said newsboys In San Antonio were
shouting II. Have the people in San
Antonio not enough intelligence to
know that a river rise Is not going
to wash the Valley away. and
enough gumption TO know that the
fact that the river IS threatened
with what the weather bureau calls
a flood stage is printed as q warn
ing TO persons living along its banks?
This Is not written as a single
handed attempt TO change things,
but 10 say that we do not have TO
live in eternal fear Of something
d~erogatory. The engineer of this
column holds no fears for the VAL
ley. He thinks IL has more to offer
and less drawbacks than any other
known section.
MINATED Annie says only those
u with paper fronts fear a little
shower Of rain.
MYTH cooler weather predicted
wv yesterday for the Valley some
little petulance was heard
early today because the drop
In temperature had not materially
ed. But shortly before noon cooler
air was felt. and with a general cold
wave swooping down perfect win
ter Valley weather should be here
within a few hours. About noon IL
vas much cooler at Sarita.
NOW comes q good letter. and we
are not talking OF a compliment
tarv ore received from Judge
: T. Gill, hereby acknowledged, with
thanks.
From away I'D In New Zealand
comes a letter saying that a Browns
vile radio program came liz and was
heard as distinctly as those offered
in the home territory. IL said the
organ numbers we're especially sp-
preciated. Looking on the map It
appears that the program was pick
Cd up one third Of the way around
the world-that is unless II went
around the far way. which would
make il two thirds.
AFTER pleading and writing and
~ talking about numbering ON
houses. il appears that We have
finally found a case where silence
does not give consent.
What We would like to know from
Mr.. Rosenthal and company is are
YOU or are you not. We praised you
for your signs. but We have not COM
pleted the Job until those house
numbers are UP.
FRUIT inspectors are also taking
a little trouble unto themselves.
u They say that talking Of fruit
going out of the Valley is a reflec-
ton on them. That all citrus in
spected is I'D TO state standard, al
though they cannot tell about the
taste. That is exactly the case, Mr.
Inspector. The fruit will pass the
state test and still taste ike cuinine
compared TO what Ii would be Z lit
Se later. If left on the trees. I
