IN DUR
VALLEY

FACILITIES AT Brownsville's
municipal airport are to be ma
terially increased by additions 70
the administration building.
That's good news.
Means, Of course, that business
through the Brownsville port is in
creasing.
Which in turn means that the
tide Of air travel between the Unit
States and Mexico and South
and Central America is turning
.Valleyward.
This municipal airport has been
responsible for putting the Valley
before the eyes Of the world.
1t has given Brownsville and the
Valley some of the most worth
while publicity this section has re-
ceived.
And deservedly so.
SEVENTEEN ART Err
amendments carried in Browns
vile Wednesday.
Little opposition to any Of the
proposed changes.
AS a matter of fact, little change
has been effected in our city char
ter.
Merely brought up to date in
matters of routine.
Made more workable.
Made more modern.
THAT'S A GOOD idea, that idea
OF telling the world right now that
the Valley is going to give Valley
jobs to Valley people.
San Benito Chamber OF Com
merce is right.
Warn the job hunters that there
are no jobs in the Valley.
Plenty Of men and women and
boys and girls in the Valley right
now to pick the cotton.
Plenty will be here this fall and
winter when the citrus crop begins
to move.
Put them TO work.
\Keep Valley money in the VAL
ley.
SERIOUS CHARGES. those
made by Lawrence Westbrook
against the officers Of the Texas
Cotton Cooperative association.
We know Westbrook.
We believe that he Is sincere In
his belief that these charges are
justified.
We sincerely hope he is mistak-
en-.
1t would be a travesty on gov
eminent if his charges are sus-
tanned.
Meanest kind Of man is the man
who takes advantage Of those who
are grasping at straws trying to
pull themselves out of a hole.
Farm cooperatives have had
hard shedding in the Valley.
Have hard Shedding most any
where.
Usually because those at the
head have been more interested in
farming the farmer than in help
ing the farmer farm and sell.
The Valley is trying right now
to perfect its c~ooperatiyes and TO
organize new ones.
Thank goodness our leaders In
this cooperative movement are
men OF reputation.
Are men TO whom no such stig-
ma can attach as has been Saddled
on the cotton coop leaders by
Westbrook.
tThe warning is there.
iEarmers, business men, all Of US,
must watch our leaders and be sure
where and why they are leading.
No need for the Valley to drop
its cooperatives or to become dis
couraged because affairs Of the
cotton c~ooperatives seem to be one
more fine mess.
We may learn from the eArc-
rience Of others.
We may also congratulate our
selves that their experience Is not
our experience.
NEXT TUESDAY Aug. 10, there
will he held a meeting.
Held at San Benito.
Called by the Came-on-Hidalgo
Counties Joint association Of water
improvement districts.
Called for the purpose OF explain
ing in full details the proposed con-
servation district on which we vote
Sept. 8.
Everybody is invited.
II you have any doubts at all re-
earding this conservation district,
you should attend.
Matter is too vital to the future
OF the Valley to be passed lightly.
Formation OF the district must not
he put off on account OF misinforma-
ton or no information.
The facts will be presented.
Will you hear the facts?
