Cat Is a Real Sailor.

Ginger is the mouse-colored cat of
the cross-Channel steamer Maid of Or
leans. She was born ashore, but since
she left her mothers care she has never
put her feet on land. The French regu-
lations are very strict that any cat com
ing into port from a foreign country
must go into quarantine for some weeks.
At first 1t seemed that Ginger would
have TO be interned for a long while
after each voyage from England But
correspondence passed between the au-
thorities and solution was found.
Ginger might be admitted into Bou-
logne so long as she was never allowed
TO put paw to ground either in England
or In France. Since then Ginger has
travelled over $4,000 miles, and the
whole Of her time has been passed on
the water.

VETERANS DECLINE
!. TO HONOR LINCOLN
Confederate Group Refuses
8 Kentucky's Invitation to
: Celebration.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
. MEMPHIS. Tenn, July 22.-Sharply
@criticizing Abraham Lincoln. Gen. G. A.
Desaussure of Memphis, commander In
~chief Of the United Confederate Vet-
.erans. has declined an invitation to
stake part in celebration at the Ken
lucky cabin, where Lincoln was born,
1t was announced today.
The celebration honoring the Civil
War President is to be held at Hodgen-
vile, KY, October 4, and 8.
Refusal Announced.
- Oficial correspondence of the Con-
Sederate Veterans organization on the
subject was made public today by Ad-
rjutant General Harry Rene Lee. Gen.
Lees announcement said the Confed-
Gerate Veterans would not accept the
Invitation of Gov. Sampson of Ken
lucky
. Gen. Desaussure said the celebration
appeared to him to be IAN effort to dis
count or offset the recently developed
-emergence of a true portrait of Mr..
Lincoln which is not at all to his credit
and which denies to him the God-like
mature and qualities with which inter-
-ested persons have deified him"
This was contained in letter to fell
low officers asking their views as to par
ticipating In the celebration. Continu-
ing, Gen. Desaussures letter said:
"Cause Of Vengeful War"
1.-THE wording of the letter COR invi-
.fation) is sufficiently challenging We
are asked to consider Mr.. Lincoln as
an exemplar Of freedom-while the
facts stand out that he was the chief
cause of destructive and vengeful war
against those who were endeavoring to
accomplish their own freedom by
means now recognized as proper and
lawful.
I'VE are further asked to join in the
eXaltation of Mr.. Lincoln as a pattern
for our children, while of all the char
-acters before the world Mr. Lincoln
is easily among those whom I would
least wish my children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren to follow or
emulate"
Gen. Lee said he informed Gen.
PesauSsure he was opposed to partici-
.pating and also pointed out that a
resolution unanimously adopted pro-
hibits ANY fraternizing with other
semi military organizations, especially
our opponents of the Cos"
Meeting Nom Political.
: In extending the invitation. Gov
Sampson proposed that you and other
Representatives of the United Confed-
crate Veterans meet with Gen. John ].
Pershing and representatives of the
Grand Army of the Republic" The
Governors letter added that the meet
ing is to be Nation wide, non-political
and non-sectarian."
Declining the invitation, Gen. De-
eaussure wrote that "it Is not within
the purpose. practice or province of the
United Confederate Veterans to join in
with political religious or fraternal
demonstrations"

the oil from splashing upon the goods
and as the oil leaves a stain 1t often is
the means CT condemning an otherwise

Providing Funds For Jobless Men

A plan whereby the city Of San Antonio will use
approximately $4,000 collected in corporation court
fines In the next year to provide Jobs for the unem-
ployed has been figured out by Mayor C. NJ. Chambers
OF the Alamo City. Remittance OF fines assessed by
the court will cease automatically as a result Of the
new plan. IL is said the city court provides a monthly
revenue OF approximately $4,000 over and above ex-
penses and this viii be distributed to various city de-
~partments to enable the employment on a part time
basis OF men now out OF work. And there are politi-
clans who wonder why Mayor Chambers retains his
grip on the loyalty OF working men In the Alamo city.
They know their friend.

APPROVES VALLEY
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
gm 49, EIEs~w
TO The Editor

49, -"
Brownsville Herald:
Please accept my sincere con-
gratulations on your splendid edit
orial Sunday emphasizing the need
for a unified Valley advertising
campaign.
During the past few years more
than one hundred successful cam
paiEns have been conducted BY
cities and communities throughout
the nation, and 1t Is interesting TO
note that such communities have
shown more rapid growth and sub
stanti2l progress IN normal times
than have communities where no
campaign has been conducted The
advertising communities have been
affected ~ the depression to a far
lesser degree. There are few. W
any. communities TN this country
that can offer greater advantages
to the tourist and to the permanent
resident. yet these advantages or
climate and opportunity have not
been brought home 10 the great
majority OF people living in the
North and East.
When a practical advertising plan
Is developed and put into xecu-
ton every individual in the Valley
will benefit and II is 70 BE- hoped
that the time ~ not far away when
the Valley will utilize the great
force of advertising to attract resi-
dents. tourists and industries to
this section.
Undoubtedly the time has arrived
when the Valley should discourage
the attempts Of individuals 10 bring
publicity x this section By freak
methods and every citizen OF the
Valley should give thoughtful con-
s~ideration TO the need for a COM
prchenSive campaign that would
command the support OF every in
terest and every individual in the
Rio Grande Valley.
Your editorial is a step I'm the
right direction and I sincerely hope
that your efforts will be continued.
Please accept nv congratulations
also on the approaching Thirtv-
ninth birthday or the Brownsville
Herald. You have a just right to
hc mighty proud OF your publication
which Is entitled to a great deal OF
credit for the DEVELOPMENT and
progress Or the Rio Grande Valley.
Cordially yours.
