in OUR
VALLEY

To the effect that the Valley

MUM yer that Of Florida
Information was secured from
what we considered a correct and
authoritative soul 4.
And what we still consider to be
that kind a source.
Namely-the market bureau OF the
Hon. Mr.. Googe.
Now comes some n who writes
uneer the nom de plume Of A Non
Amaus.
Games from San Benito,, he does
And quotes from the papers ano
from market reports.
Showing us to be all wet on this
proposition.
Believe the difference is right
here
Florida is shipping larger sizes
than the Valley.
The 54s sent out from Florida
Nill bring a higher price than the
ca sent out from the Valley.
But the 96S from the Valley
we're, at the time the comment was
carried in the Herald. bringing
higher prices than the s6s from
Florida.
We may be wrong.
But that's the way 1t looks to US
It's our story, and we stand by
It.
Until further proof Is adduced
And we hope. for the sake OF the
Valley citrus deal, that our story
stands.
STRAW HATS IN winter months
rs advocated by Sam jackson Post
of the American Legion have al
least one supporter in Brownsville
A. w. Norman writes the Herald
Heartily endorses the idea
Says this is n way TO boost
the Valley and make us all more
prosperous. SO let's do it."
Signs himself Yours for
boosting our climate"
All right, MIR. Norman.
Agreed.
II does seem that with all the
other "ConsciousnesseS' we have
been afflicted with that We Of the
Valley could become climate con-
sciouS."
Which is something We are NOT
at present.
Not at all.
This column hopes that whAe
flannels will be less OF a rarity on
Valley streets during the coming
winter.
And straw hats. too.
The ladies have been putting 1t
over on us men in this matter OF
comfortable clothes long enough.
We are for equality, and lots oi

Especially when We can get more
comfort.

Five, COUNT EN-, five rumors
VIZ had occasion to trace to their
lairs last week.
All discreditable to persons or
10 institutions.
All found to be absolutely with
out foundation.
Three were apparently the result
of pure old righteousness.
One was the result OF a misinter-
preiation OF a very commonplace
occurrence with which the party
relating the rumor was Just not
familiar.
And the fifth resulted from moth
ing more or less than a misunder-
standing.
II we must have rumors-
Why can't they relate some
thing good about people and things
WHY must they always be gloomy,
nasty, disagreeable sort OF things?
Just as easy to think up a pleas
ant lie as to think up a disagree
able one. is II not?
Personally, we advocate neither
the pleasant nor the nasty rumor,
The truth is plenty good or
plenty bad.
AS the case may be.
WORLDS FAIR in Chicago In
1888.
And We note in a Valley con-
temporary that Florida Is planning
A citrus exhibit.
Why not?
And why should not the Valley
be planning a citrus exhibit?
why let Florida and California
act as II they were the only citrus
raising sections?
WHY not show them up with
some luscious Valley grapefruit?
IT'S time to be thinking about 1t.
Things like that just do not hap
