n RAYS Tribute To-Day.
To one whose life was devote 70
his fellow man.
Whose achievements will live
forever.
Affecting the lives Of the great
majority Of those who inhabit this
mortal sphere.
Lowly and great alike are served
by the products Of that great brain.
His genius has not been snuffed
out.
1t lives today, will live forever.
The body Of Thomas A. Edisor is
being buried today.
STRAWBERRY associations are
getting in style.
Following the trend Of the times,
the two such as Ociations now oper-
ating in the Valley propose a
merger.
Thereby showing that good sense
actuates their operations.
Merger is hoped to be accom-
alished at the meeting to be held
al weslaco Friday night.
There is this about it.
C~ooperatives must be able to CO.
operate.
TWO associations fighting each
other Under the name Of cooper
atives" belle their name.
And make folks wonder.
WE'LL WE'LL SO the railroads
were denied their Is per cent
freight increase.
That little old fact mean some
thing to the Valley.
Means that our shippers won't
have to pay so much for their car
lot shipments of fruits and vege-
tables.
Which. Of course. means that
our growers won't have TO pay that
extra tariff in lower prices Tor tneir
fruit.
Valley shippers fought the fight
OF the Valley on this proposition.
Vigorously protested the freight
hike.
Sent letters.
Sent kilograms.
Mailed briefs.
Enlisted the South Texas Cham
Der Of Commerce.
And Valley chambers OF COM
merce.
And their organization.
To fight the increase as IT Affect
ed the Valley.
Apparently our mite added to
other mites won out.
AND JIMMIE DOOLITTLE slip
ped through the clouds.
Getting 10 Mexico City without
a soul in the Valley ever even
seeing him.
Which was not nice of the major.
But we forgive him.
For on is way back he Will
spend at least a night, maybe longer,
III Brownsville.
Will not be trying break
records that time.
Maybe so we can get 70 a with
him for a half second.
While he visits with his old
friend Capt. Sundell OF the Amer
lean Always.
And that VIII mean another
story sem out over the wires Of the
Associated Press from Brownsville.
Carrying the fame Of the Valley
to hundreds Of papers over the
United states.
Because we have an airport here.
Sitting at the funnel OF the
cone OF air traffic.
AS Col. Gilmore has stated and
we have repeated in these columns
Mfore.
tnd will probably repeat again.
E1TY OF BROWNSVILLE pub
fishes a financial statement.
Which is a financial statement.
Showing the city 10 have a net
worth or nearly one aid y half
million dollars.
Which Is something.
In these days and times.
And further showing that the
operations Of the municipal light
and water plant have Melted the
city a handsome profit.
Which is something else again.
Hope you read the statement in
yesterdays issue OF the Herald.
Also hope that IL there was any
thing YOU did not understand about
the statement that YOU call the
city manager or the mayor or some
Of the city commissioners and get
II explained.
It's your business, that state
ment.
Published because il Is your busi-
ness.
II you don't like It, tell your duly
elected servants SO.
And If you don't understand Il,
ask them.
