IN OUR
VALLEY

SIGNS OF THE TIMES, some OF
them are good and some Of them
are not so good.
Let's talk just a wee bit about
some OF the not SO good ones
Then. II we have space left. about
some OF the good ones. OF which
there r plenty,
HONESTLY. WE. view with
alarm" this tendency OF our city
commissions In the Valley to erect
protective tariff wall around their
cities.
Other night Harrington city COM
mission orders that all milk sold In
Harrington must be pasteuTized with

precinct No. 4.
Intent OF the order Is obvious.
Meant 70 throw business to Har-
lingen concerns.
Perhaps to bring additional In
dustJss 70 Harlingen-
Elpdable purpose.
And he result?
Next day agitation Is started IN
Brownsville for a similar ordinance
One which would provide that az
foodstuffs such as milk and bakery
products sold In townsville must
be prepared for the market an
Brownsville.
It's dangerous doctrine.
Leading away from that true ideal
of Valley oneness for which We are
striving. fail short OF the mark
though we may.
Not @ Valley community that is
sufficient to itself alone.
Trade at home?
Most assuredly you and I should
trade at home.
And where is home?
Can we of Brownsville. business
and professional men. live and prof
A. on the business we derive from re-
sidents OF Brownsville alone?
Can the business and professional
men OF Harlingen get by on what
the residents OF Harrington alone
spend with them?
Folks. 1t Just can't be done.
Least of all can 1t be done by
legislation.
These times OF depression call for
cool ard collected thinking.
IT, do not call for hasty legisla-
ia which win array the sentiment
az a. residents or one Valley city
against the residents Of another.
NOW IS THE time for residents
of every Valley CITY from Rio GRANGE
CITY 70 Brownsville to Raymondville
70 get their heads together.
And to resolve that by neither
thought nor action will anyone or
any organization in any one COM
munity do anything which would
even hint at injuring any interest
IN any other community.
IL must be done. and we are SO
confident OF our Valley we believe y
will be done.
II seventeen years residence IN the
valley have taught us any one
thing. they have taught us this:
That friendship and community
interest Is not bounded by the artiti-
cial confines Of any political entity
So
LETS ALL GET out and hustle
for business.
Not a nan IN business in this
Valley today who needs the help CT
c,tv ordinances TO get that business
And not a man in business In this
Valley today who win not be hurt
more by city ordinances such as
those We have been discussing than
