The walls of the Valley Baptist
Hospital are almost finished. Have
you watched them grow? A mush-
room can grow in a night; but a hosp-
ital is to live for ages, and must
grow by stages “with its roots our
hearts entwined.” If you do not love
it now you will do so when it saves
the life of a loved one, or your own
life. What we love we help, and
what we help we grow to love.
September first to seventh has been
designated Hospital Week for the en-
tire Valley. Slogan: Buy a Dollar’s
Worth of Last Bricks. Every town

the movement. Let’s make it un-

when alone.
My dollar a lonely sentinel lies,
No battle fights, not even tries;
But yours and theirs ezme crowd-
ing in,
And theirs and yours and mine the
vic’try win.

Friends here received a card from
Mr. and Mrs. Rollo E. Harding dated
Aug. 18. They were at Yellowstone
Park Wyo., camped at Yellowstone
Lake. They had just seen a black
bear near their camp. They also told

nearly 13,000 feet high and played
in the snow. They meet people there

Harding are expected home from

The smuggling of cotton across the
river from Mexico has become a very
serious menace to the Delta. The
higher price of cotton on this side the
river is said to be the pause. Grow-
ers through out the Valley are alarm-
ed and are co-operating to stop the
practice. If the pink boll worm,
which causes so much damage in Me-
xico, were to be introduced here, the
Valley has the prospect of being
placed in a non-cotton zone.

A recent visit to Pt. Isabel convin-
ces the writer that our own Red Fish
Bay has many advantages over that
place as a pleasure resort. The
Point promises of course, unlimited
advantages to the Delta in the matter
of shipping but for bathing, cam-
paing, a family outing, the Bay is
superior. The road is as good, the
bathing beach is easier to reach and
safer for children and the fishing is
better. When the Red Fish Bay As-
sociation makes the further improve-
i it has in mind, the place will
be ideal.
Prepare your land early and get
the benefit of the fall rains. For
plowing and disking see Arthur

and preparing the ground for the
new building. The Brenner’s are
pioneers coming here about the time
the railroad was put thru to Browns

during that time, this was probbably
the first store in town. Mr. Brenner
