SATURDAY JUNE 20. 1911L
O HUM O HUM O HUM.
Again The Herald is called upon to
defend the Valley against the tenden-
cy of outside newspapers to include
this Valley in their description of
“barren wastes” “deserts” burning
sands and like misconceptions and de-
liberate or ignorant misstatements
when writing of the border.
The latest to come under the eye
of The Herald is the Corpus Christi
Caller which on the front page of
its issue of June £0 makes two very
inconsistent statements concerning
the Valley statements that The Her-
ald cannot permit to go unnoticed.
Writing of the rest area plan for
soldiers doing duty on the lower bor-
der r plan that by the way received
its first publicity through The Herald
two weeks ago'the Caller says:
“Corpus Christi is now a quali-
fied rest area. Each week con-
tingents of tired weary soldiers
from the dreary wastes of the
hot Mexican desert xgrill come to
Corpus Christi to enjoy the se*.
breezes and the relaxation that
v*iU come of a short relief from
the duty of guarding stretches of
h iVsome Rio GY*rt5tfl;'*f»fe'\!¥ols.
“It will mcr.n t|iat hundreds of
hoys who tre now doing patrol
duty along the border will come
to Corpus Christi to enjoy the
hospitality and kindness it has to
offer. It means too that a defi-
nite plan of human kindness has
been adopted by the various com-
mandants who are in charge of
the border districts. Men from
the Laredo district will come to
Corpus Christi. Troopers from
the deserts surrounding the
Brownsville sector will visit here
to relax and see thing* other
thr.n sagebrush and mesquete.”
And here lies the inconsistency.
One column removed from the two
paragraphs quoted above appears the
following statement in a double-col-
umn box house advertisement:
“An eight page section will
be devoted to exploiting the ad-
vantages and resources of Har-
lingen a magic city of the rich
Rio Grande ‘Valley. This sec-
ticn will carry complete news
accounts of Harlingen beautiful-
ly illustrated.”
In one “the deserts surrounding
the Brownsville sector.” In the other
the “rich Rio Grande Valley.”
Two hundred thousand acres of the
richest most fertile irrigated lands
in the world surround Brownsville.
A million acres just as fertile are not
yet irrigated.
“Let not thine ad column know
what thy news column doeth.”
STRANGE DISCOVERIES BUT
LATE ONES
It is strange that at this late day
physicians have discovered that prop-
erly brewed lager beer containing i
two and three quarter per cent alco-
hol is essential to the treatment of
certain raiments. A discovery that is
announced coincidentally with agita-
tion in congress for the repeal of the
war time prohibition law could not
have been intended otherwise than
to influence this agitation. Why was
it announced at this time? And who
is tx ck of it?
The daylight saving law has been
repealed effective next October. The
daylight raving plan has perhaps been
received with favor in the industrial
districts cf the cast but so much can-
not be miff Ipf it in the south and
west. Being a wartime measure it
was accept r<J ns such and observed i
At the same time the people in those
latter s ccticr.s arc relieved that the
necessity fer it has passed and they j
will welcome run time again.
Even a small town newspaper con-
siders it is within its rights when it
passes judgment upon intricate legal
problems domestic or international.
The border is nothing if not origi- j
nal. It has developed the axe handle
censorship.
Uncle Sam can now rest easy. Vil
la sends his compliments ami says'
he will not carry out reprisals on
Americans or American property in
Mexico.

Is Villa alive? At least there
hasn’t been an authentic interview
with the bandit leader since before
Pershing went into Mexico? He may
yet be revealed as a tradition.
