ARKANSAS S0L0NS PASS COTTON BAN
IN OUR
VALLEY

It was voted by the citizens Of
the county.
And maybe is enforced in some
sections.
These sections not including the
road to Boca Cnica.
Around and over and through
which the festive burro and the
placid cows plod and cavort.
And the ensuing casualties among
automobiles have been or {.
All summer long.
Not to mention the havoc in the
ranks OF the COWS and the burros.
Some OF these days or nights
A merry party OF picnickers will
be returning frc the beach.
The car will round a curve
Suddenly come upon madam COW.
And madam COW, following the
custom Of cows from time i'm
memorial.
VIII do the wrong thing at the
psychological time.
Y An automobile will be piled up
the road.
The merry party Of pleasure
seekers viii have become a tragic
group.
We are frank to admit we do not
know what ought to be done about
It.
Except that the public which
travels this road Is entitled to pro-
lection.
TAX PAYMENTS for 1880 are
due today.
That is. they have been due for
q long time.
But today is the last day on which
they may be paid without the tax
payer drawing down a penalty.
Just mention this.
Suppose you have already paid
your taxes.
II you hare not paid them. and
can pay them. there's a money
saving opportunity in the few re-
naming hours Of this 18th day OF
October. A. d. 1881.
OUR TOURISTS enjoy our fan
weather.
Have heard them. some Of them
say so.
Saw some OF them enjoying 1t
yesterday.
or about half a dozen cars on
the beach at Boca Chica-
Three bore New York state Il
censes.
One was from Oklahoma.
And still another was from north
Texas.
These folks from the great out
side know a good thing when they
see IL.
OTHER DAY WE had something
to say about rumorS.
Would like TO add a little TO 1t.
These are tickliSh times.
In more ways than one.
Most OF US have a more or less
distorted viewpoint.
And some OF US hear a whole lot
OF things that are not SO.
And repeat these things.
Which become magnified TO the
nth degree OF foolishneSs by the
time they have passed through
half a dozen mouths.
Let's, please let's, find out the
truth about these things before We
pass them on
Better still. let's not pass them
on.
Well do we remember the par
entail admonition which came TO us
with a fair degree of regularity
yelling US that I'VE knew so many
III |ngs that we're not So"
VEGETABLE FREIGHT hike is
held off for a time.
Scheduled to go into effect today.
Increases in freight charges are
suspended until a hearing can be
held before an I. c. c. examiner.
Hearing probably will be held at
Harlingen.
Valley shippers are girding their
loins for the fray.
Are assembling statistics.
More power to them.
1.-THE vegetable industry OF the
Valley Is carrying more than its
fair share of overhead.
AND ALONG THE same lines.
Valley interests are joining with
Florida in an effort TO keep the
tariff on vegetables where 1t Is.
San Benito Chamber Of Com
merce gets the low down on what Il
costs TO raise a lug Of tomatoes for
the market.
Raymondville Chamber OF -om-
uierce Is doing the she thing for
onions.
MANAGER Bell at San Benito and
Manager Baxter at Raymondville
are on theff toes.
Ready to fight for the farmers
of their communities.
AS are all the other commercial
executives OF the Vale
Whose routine work Is OF In
estimable value 10 their commun-
ities in particular and to the Valley
as a whole.
And who take a whole lot OF
~"cussing" and get few, too few,
bouquets.
But who keep plugging along.
Like good soldiers.
Taking their reward on the con-
sciousness OF a work well done.
Which after all Ia the best pay
[or any job.
