IN OUR
VALLEY
A VALLEY BOOSTER is n

advertisement includes a map OF
the United States.
Showing each state.
Noting the date on which frost
may be expected to strike.
Southern California and Florida
make the grade with this notation
Frost rarely strikes"
Texas Is listed as getting It's
fk11 { frost on NOV. 5 or Whereabouts.
With no distinction made be-
tween the Valley and the rest Of
the state.
And Mrs. Lombard wants to
know "how Gomez"
We showed the Brownsville
agent for this particular article
the advertisement.
And Mrs. Lombard's !. -.r.
And he was just as indignant as
she.
Promised to write the factory at
once.
To tell them the facts.
He'll do 1t.
And we may expect that subse-
ouent advertisements Of this par
ticular company will be --ght.
Don't blame the company.
The advertisement in question
was undoubtedly prepared by an
advertising agency.
Which agency should have known
better.
we thank Mrs. Lombard for call
ing the matter to our attention
She will have done the Valley q
lot OF good by in~terposing her
objection.
Some people somewhere are 60
ing to know something about the
Valley they did not knoT before.
Thanks to her interest in our
aTlney.
And that Is something.
HERE'S A FERvENr hope.
That Gov. Sterling submits re-
d~istricting to the present special
session OF the legislature.
Texas Is entitled to three more
congressman.
Unless the state is redistricted.
these three additional congressman
viii be chosen from the state at
large
And the state at large is In no
mood to have to listen to some 70
or 30 candidates for the honor.
Especially ridiculous would
the proceeding be in view OF the
undoubted fact that the three
elected in 1892 as congressman at
large would serve only 2 years In
that capacity.
For surely the legislature which
on Jan. /. 1888. viii pass
q redistricting measure.
To subject Texas to a campaign
such as would be projected In case
a red~istricting bill is not passed Is
needless cruelty.
WE VOICE THE above with due
regard for the feelings of that old
~ tried and true friend Of the
valley, Geo. B. Terrell.
AS commissioner Of agriculture,
Mr.. Terrell was indeed a friend TO
this section
we have no doubt but that as a
congressman at large Re would con-
tinue to be friend to this section.
and to every other section OF the
state for that matter.
But We cannot help but feel that
al of US would be better off with
out such a campaign.
DOESN'T IT SEEM funny, or
does 1t, to hear political talk again?
1882 viii be a big year. political
~ speaking.
From constable to president, our
county state and national officers
viii be elected.
Morris Sheppard will be up for
r~e-eIection to the u. s. senate
Herbert Hoover's administration
win be on the block.
MAY. OH MAY we be spared the
ur,al sort of demagogic campaign
ION our various office seekers!
And II not so spared, may We
have the good sense to follow not
false leaders.
II is not too early to venture the
hone that the campaigns to come
will at least see candidates In the
field endowed with an or mary
amount OF that good old fashioned
horse sense which seems to be COM
ing back into popularity.
should this come to pass, Tho
depression will not have been H
vain
BANANAS ONLY need a chance
e. make good in the Valley.
