CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
# ELECTION
With so much good material from
which to choose there can be no
doubt that the names chosen for di-
rectors to fill positions on the Cham-
ber of Commerce board caused by
expiration of terms of half the mem-
berships will result in the selection
of a strong and useful directorate.
Not to praise or to blame any in
particular we would say we trust
that those named may be men who
not only are willing but will be able
to give their time and efforts to this
great and highly necessary public ser-
vice. We believe our citizens are ca-
pable of realizing the importance
of having a board of directors in
charge of the affairs of the Cham-
ber of Commerce which shall consist
of men who not only are fully qual-
ified for the position but are suf-
ficiently conscientious to give their
earnest and continuous attention to
Never was there greater need of
the duties which they will assume
this Mort of service to the people of
i»ur city—the need is "Teat indeed
for men who are intelligent honest
faithful and self-sacrificing in all
public places.
The development of Brownsville
and the surrounding country is at
a stage when it demands the guid-
ance of such men. We trust that
the new board may comprise only
men who are forward-looking—men
who are ambitions full or energy
broad minded nad wholly unselfish
men with faith in their town and
country and who will work by every
fair means for the advancement of j
both men who will realize that the
interests of the entire town are in
their hands and will not permit
themselves to forget that the pro-
gress of the community rests very j
largely in their keeping.
If any are named whose business'
interests or other causes will not
permit them to give proper time and'
attention to the work of the board
it is hoped they may realize it in
time and not accept the position.
Nothing will ruin a Chamber of
Commerce more quickly than a di-
rectorate which does not take the
interest it should in the work which
is in its hands.
ALL VALLEY CITRUS GROWERS
INVITED HERE
It is indeed unfortunate that the
-^conditions caused by the present
flood in the Rio Grande should have
prevented the plan for holding the
citrus fruit growers’ school at Har-
lingen simultaneously with the ses-
sion which opened in Brownsville to-
day. As this school will be of the
greatest benefit to every person who
owns a citrus fruit grove it is hop-
ed sincerely that every citrus fruit
grower in the Valley who can do
so will not fail to attend the school
in this city. Our Harlingen friends
are disappointed of course but we
hope that those who can will avail
themselves of the opportunity which
the holding of this school in Browns-
ville offers and not only come them-
selves but bring as many other cit-
rus growers as they can with them.
The gri?at and growing importance
of the citrus fruit industry to all
the Valley makes the holding of this
school at Brownsville an event of
unusual interest to them.
All Valley citrus fruit growers arc
most cordially invited to attend the
Brownsville school.
Wonder if Tom Edison can answer
all those questions himself?

is not half as sick as he has made

COLUMBUS’ NATIONALITY
(Beaumont Enterprise)
Who’s who in history appears to
be one of those perennial problems
never certain of settlement. Some
researcher or gullible listener to
tales is always discovering that
some well-known character was
reaily somebody else or at least if
he was himself his .nationality was
not according to commonly acept-
ed theory.
Now it’s Christopher Columbus
who is challenged. He has previous-
ly been claimed by Sapniards Jews
Moors and Italians. All of these
claims are erroneous says a re-
turned Near East Relief worker.
He was an Armenian. His name is
rightly spelled Kholumbian. A
complete record of his family his-
tory is said to exist but unfortun-
ately it is lost just now.
No question is raised as to his
actually sailing the ocean blue and
opening the way for America’s pre-
sent immigration problem.
If this rumor proves to be found-
ed on fact it should boost Arme-
nia's stock a bit. None but their
ardent admirers had thought the
Armenians capable of producing an
intrepid sailor and continent dis-
coverer.
