q this represents quite a
cnange OF the banking order Of

70 The Herald as a surprise. Some
lew days ago the engineer Of this
column asked Mr.. Baker II some
cnange was not being contemplated
n ne denied il saying please do
not publish any such rumor.'
ANNOUNCEMENT Of the big pur-
IA chase Is made today IN a Val
ley paper, the editor OF which
mas a hard time writing anything
without an attempted left handed
punch at The Herald.
The engineer OF this column wish
es % thank the editor Of said paper
Tor thus recognizing The Herald
a. the big paper OF the Valley, and
atRmpting 10 climb I'D on il. He
: SNHay wishes said editors newspaper
hsH more circulation so that The
Herald could reap advertising.

OF any moment, we might make
some nasty references to a certain
set of Implications OF stories in
this would-be rock thrower's Sunday
edition, which are still a puzzle to
the printing world as TO how they

TOR example that same paper
boasts that il only Will carry an
advertising campaign for the Rio
Grande Valley Telephone company,
when j. c. Paxton, in charge, has
said he will place this same cam
raign in many other Valley papers.
Exactly what he said is Several
other Valley newspapers will receive
the same campaign al a later date
during the year. II is my opinion
that The Brownsville Herald has a
&aIger appropriation for advertising
from our budget than any other VAL
ley newspaper"
But who wants to get any wrin-
kles over such details except TO SCI
forth the truth?

situation. The matter has been
turned over TO them BY the county
commissioners to work out a plan.
The Herald feels that these two
nil come out with flying colors, and
i knows that IL is for relieving the
crowded conditions, which have been
reported BY the grand jury and have
detailed BY one Of its v reporters
after a visit. An addition TO the
