FORTY-FIFTH YEAR—No. 132
-------M
VT/ESLACO OPENS ITS ANNUAL
birthday celebration Wednes-
day. and has outlined a busy two-
day affair.
The city with the “lifted face- has
something that every resident of the
Valley should see and certainly
something that will interest every
tourist.
There may be a town in the United
States that has adopted uniform
architecture for it* business district
but we have not heard of it. cer-
% tainly have not seen it.
* When W'eslaco started this unique
movement a few years ago there were
many doubting Thomases.
They are now properly apologetic.
Weslaco has carried the idea
through in the principal business
section and hopes to continue the
work into other areas.
• • •
IN THE BEGINNING. WESLACO
1 leaders will tell you. It was no
easy task.
First one building was arranged to
meet the architectural design that
had been worked out. and explained.
Then it was sometime before an-
other property owner fell into line.
Now two of the main business
blocks on both sides ol the street
present this uniform and extreme-
ly attractive appearance.
It s the seventeenth anniversary of
the founding of Weslaco that will be
celebrated Wednesday—and certain-
ly Weslaco has much to crow about.

DROWNSVILLE CHAMBER OF
u Commerce directors in session
Monday night took up the matter
of cotton in the immediate Browns-
ville area
Got behind the observation of
Henry W. Bell who farms that a
“big cotton crop in the Valley will
do more to make public relief un-
necessary ' than any one crop.
George Aziz first broached the
auhject. expressing the opinion that
more quick cash crops are neces-
sary in the Valley generally and in
the Brownsville area particularly.
The Valley has produced as high
as 175.000 bales of cotton in one
year In that year the Immediate
Brownsville area produced about 5.*
000 bales.
ALONG CAME THE DEPRES-
^ sion and the Bankhead act—
and cotton growing went on the de-
cline. both because of price and
then because of control.
It requires cash to finance the cul-
tivation. planting and growing of
cotton.
Government agencies are loaning
money for seed where flat rate ac-
cumulations do not interfere.
Water districts have ottered to co-
operate and encourage planting by
lowering the flat rate. If they will
forget or subjugate the accumulated
charges giving way to governmental
or other crop loans that will be of
great help.
This is an almost purely agricul-
tural area.
Agriculture here is the source of
virtually all wealth. The period of
low price* seems gone as to staple
crops and the markets at least for
the near term seem optimistic.

BLANTON CASE
AT STANDSTILL
Rangers Say No New
Clues Uncovered
(Special to The Herald)
RAYMONDVILLE. Dec 8. —
Ranger Captain William McMur-
ray admitted here Tuesday that the
investigation into the mysterious
disappearance of Luther a*d John
Blanton is at a complete standstill.
No new clues have been discover-
ed and no one is being sought lor
questioning at present the Ranger
captain said.
McMurray attached but little
significance to the proposed visit
here of Colonel H. C. Carmichael
head of the public safety depart-
ment who stopped off at San An-
tonio for several hours Tuesday
morning before resuming his trip
here. McMurray said that Colonel
Carmichael often visits the scene
of an Investigation on which
Rangers are working. At San An-
tonio. homier Carmichael said
that more Rangers may be needed
In the Investigation.
* My purpose in meeting Captain
McMurray is to review the case
and give him additional men. prob-
ably brush rangers to ride the en-
tire ranch if he needs them." he
said.
Captain McMurray said that
failure to solve the case thus far
does not mean that the Investiga-
tion will be dropped "We will
continue to work on the case until
it Is solved even If It takes a year ”
he said.
M T ‘Lone Wolf” Gonzaullas
head of the intelligence division of
the public safety department said
at Austin Tuesday that tests to de-
termine if stains on a coat and
piece of canvas found in the King
ranch were made by human or
animal blood will be concluded
Tuesday afternoon.
Observers here disclosed the gen-
eral feeling in Raymondville and
San Perlita is that Rangers prob-
ably will not give up the hunt until
the Blanton disappearance Is solv-
ed.
The attention of the entire na-
tion has been attracted to the
search underway by Rangers to
•olve the riddle they pointed out.

I directors of the Brownsville Cham- |
ber of Commerce Monday night.
A resolution to undertake such a
campaign locally was introduced by
George K Aziz a director after
| say ing ”1 want more business
gentlemen and I am sure e-ery one
of you do. apiiears to me that
a cash crop of cotton will do more
for all of us than any one thing
we can undertake at this time.'
Farm Loans Possible
Henry W. -.ell declared that a
big cotton crop in the Valley is the
one thing that ail! make relief
funds no longer necessary.”
Ottis W Singer chairman of the
agricultural committee pointed out
that local water improvement dis-
tricts have offered to co-operate to
increase cotton planting by lower-
ing the flat rates. In answer to a
; question as to how loans may be
i obtained with which to finance
plantings he explained that gov-
ernmental loaning agencies might
make advances if prior claims in
j the form of accumulated flat rate
accounts might be subjugated.
A. K Black stated that he under-
stood that crop loans are ueing
made now in some sections. and he
expressed the opinion that some
plan might be worked out to ar-
range to make loans locally for in-
creased farming operations in this
area. He said that inability to ob-
tain loans Is the sole hindrance at
this time to more extensive farming
operations.
The agricultural committee was
charged with the duty of going to
work on the plans for increased
