It seems that Jim Ferguson's in-

like all “investigations”—furnishing
a few jobs for lawyers and a few
items for the front page of news-

the rottener becomes the penitent-
iary system and the rottener it looks,
the less likely are they to do any-
thing about it. It is like the weather

cation that the farmers of thiF coun-
ty want a complete system of paved __
roads. Brownsville Kiwanis and 'Ro-
tary Clubs signed the petitions un-
annnously, "texcept for two members
who are county officers and thought
they should not sign as being particu-1
larly interested. That shows the J

having the matter in charge hav«^
been and are out of town ’ this w;eek '

is ho doubt about the attitude San *
Benito citizens take toward any move t
flor the good of the county. San
Benito.has the clear record of .voting
practically unanimously for each of
the previous bond issues for financ;
ing paving in ttye county and voted
practically unanimously, for, the floods
control bonds. One precinct has not
cast a votev against road street or |
-flood control bonds. , No matter |
whether they live 4n town or on the ;
farms .the people of Cameron County I
want a complete system of paved ,
roads and pavement of such type that
will bear the traffic. Here and there
somebody steps up with a proposal
Tfr IfaveTTilieajf pavement but it is 1
only necessary to point oUtRfcamples 1
of cheap pavement which have fallen I
to pieces in three years to show- the !
foolishness of spending money on ■
forty-year bonds for three-year pave-
ment. Cameron County is going to

cause the greatest acreage of fertile, j

The Manufacturer and Industrial
News Bureau, battling for better bus-
iness. and industrial conditions, makes
a plek for the support of churches of
all tfeuomiaiyions It contends that
churches stand for good business and
economic conditions—religion is re-
late* td the social order, family life,
public and private morality. If one
member of a family attends church,
or one of the children goes to Sunday
School, the cause of religion is
worthy of family support The Manu-
facturer pleads that every family in
our great nation include in its annual
budget a contribution to support a
religious organisation. This would
be a good policy for the state as
three chan blows.

Hunting is one of the greatest
sp&rta and attended by more men
,nan any other sport in the world.
.1 is something that all cau enjoy; It
they live where they can find any-
unng to shoot at. A country with a
nuntmg place in close proimity, be-
comes an attractive place to many
people. The hunting places close to
the Rio Grande Valley are the Val-
ley’s greatest assets, from, the stand-
point of attracting people here. The
millions wta-avres of good hunting
land in Mexico will in time become u
great asset to this section of the
country, as it furnishes just any sort
ot hunting that one would want. It
only remains for ^febme enterprising
groups to utilize these places and
present them in attractive form to
the putside world'. We have in the
Valley now one organization that is
endeavoring to do this—the promo-
ters of tht Montezuma Country .Club.
It looks now like this proposition is
going over eoooer and in greater style
than was ever anticipated, and when
it doe's, McAllen will become the
gathering point of hunters from every
section of the United States.
