Conceived by B. S. Hinkley. former
dty park eommlationar. the beautiful
fountain was built In IBM after he
had determined that Brownsville
was to haws a park equal to knreli-
nees to any to South Taras.
The land for the park wae donated
many years ago to the citj by the
Stillman Estate but was not Im-
proved greatly until about ten years
asa Hlnkley says.
Tha electric taunts In throws Its
tony to feet into the air. to fall
back into the two-foot pool of water
which surrounds It At the aids of
the pool and below the level is a
water-tight door which gives access
to the operating machinery when It

Young lovers—end some not ao
young although eauallv fervent—
gather nightly on the benches
around the park to whisper sweet
nothings and to hold hands while
he leaping waters flash In slow ares

iquld of the pool below.
MOt only young lovers find the
park a haven however; mothers end
their children find the green grass
inviting to tired bodies and scam-
pering feet alike.
Little wonder It Is. then that
beauty-loving residents of the Rio

Charles A. Morris member of the
board of directors of the £an Ben-
ito Chamber of Commerce spoke
when he addressed the San Benito
Kiwanie club Wednesday In the
dining room of the Stonewall Jack-
eon hotel.
Introduction of his address was
made with the statement that 8an
Benito is the center for the Valley's
moat fertile fanning community. He
pointed out that this community
produces more farm products than
any other community of the enrJre
Lower Rio Oraade Valley and last
it is the duty of 8an Benito mer-
chants to cater to their fanner
friends who compose the backbone
of the community’s finances.
Morris wove into his address ‘he
need far dressing up the city to
make II have an appeal tc tourists.
He reported on the acthrty under
way to assure lighting with neon
Bens or tubes for at least M per
cent of the business houses on the

signs within the next six weeks will
ume g repaint program to maxe the

wall as at night. Already several
■tore fronts have been repainted or
newly stuccoed. Others are expected
to follow.
Morris closed his address with an
appeal to dtlaens not to carry ill
tidings of the town to outsiders. He
■aid it is not the town which has
brought about adverse conditions in
Ban Benito but the statements of
ill advised dtlaens.

CITRUS LIKED
BY MID-WEST
Prices Are Spoiled By
- ‘Dumping*
WESLACO. — The Middle West
prefers Texas fruit but wants It
'heap having been spoiled by shlp-
itng and truckers bringing In grape-
fruit and oranges at low prices. It
was found by A. E. Krausae assist-
ant sales* manager for the Rio
Grande Valley Citrus Exchange who
▼turned this week from a visit to
narkets In that area.
Considerable Valley fruit was sold
n the central Middle West territory
luring past see sons but not by the
exchange which was unwilling to
meet the low price competition from
fruit shipped by others. Krausae
said. With the exchange controlling
at least half the Valley tonnage he
believes that the situation may
change. Brokers In the area he vis-
ited were acquainted with the fact
that the exchange has been made
the central sales agency for all Val-
ey co-ops and were interested in the
new set-up.
The Middle West preference to-
eludes not only the fraeh fruit but
also tha canned Juice. Krausae re-
ported..
Markets In this area also are
affected by the large volume of fruit
brought in by truckers making the
car lot buyers wary. It takas a car-
load of fruit several days to get to
his area while a trucker may reach
t to 4g hours. This means that •
broker who orders e car lot with no
fruit In sight may find that several
trucks will arrive and cause him to
take a loss an experience he is un-
willing to repeat If he can avoid it.
rruckers in most instances bring In
the lower grades of fruit and gen-
erally are content with getting their
hauling charges out of the deal.
One of the things that heartened
the exchange emissary was the fact
that the Middle Western area ap-
pears prosperous thus providing a
buying power that bodes well for
the citrus deal. Krausae Visited prin-
cipal markets in Kansas. Missouri.
Oklahoma Colorado and several
other states.
Prank Hall general sake manager
for the exchange. Is still out and will
not return to the Valley until about
August 20.

ger left Sunday to make the rounds
visiting old customers and attempt-
ing to build up new business.
