When your
Children Cry
for It
Mother#, who take one simple pre
caution, are seldom worried. With
a bottle of Fletcher’s Castoria in the
house thpy can do what their doctor
would tell them to do, when baby is
fretful, feverish, colicky, constipated
or stuffed-up with cold—give a few
drops of this pure vegetable, plcasant
tasting preparation. It comforts Baby
and soothes him to sleep in a jiffy.
It’s perfectly safe for the youngest
infant. Use it freely—and as often
as needed, specialists advise. A more
liberal dose is all it takes to comfort
and relieve older children when fever
ishness, bad breath, no appetite, colds,
etc., show they need a good purging.
The mark of genuine Castoria is the
Fletcher signature on the wrapper.
Look for it to avoid imitations.

RADIO AD PLAN
TOLD AT MEET
First Step Taken Toward
Effort to Raise Fund
For WLW Programs
(Special to The Herald)
MERCEDES, March 29.—How
J. W. Osborne, manager of the
Donna Chamber of Commerce, and
C. O. Sheldon, Donna business man,
organized and financed a nightly
two-minute program of Valley ad
vertising over radio station WLW
of Cincinnati, was outlined by Shel
don at a meeting of chamber of
commerce managers and citizens at
Mercedes city hall Thursday night.
Osborne and Sheldon believe that
the activity should be one of Val
ley-wide effort instead of a local ef
fort at Donna, and asked the rais
ing of a fund sufficient to finance
a two-minute program nightly for
a period of at least one year.
The meeting resulted in the ap
pointment of an organization com
mittee consisting of F. A. Swallow
of Alamo. John A. Phelan of Mer
cedes, D. W. Day of Harlingen and
Osborne.
The organization committee will
formulate a Valley-wide committee,
of which they will be a part, to con
tinue the activity.
Osborne stated that the actual
cost of the program was $250 a
week, or $13,000 a year. It was es
timated by speakers that the cost
of launching the entire effort would
run from $20,000 to $24,000 a year.
Many radio listeners in the Val
ley, Osborne said, already have been
attracted by the program, which
goes on the air at WLW at fifteen
seconds after 10 o’clock, central
standard time. He said he had
contracted for thirteen weeks at a
total cost of $3250, and so far has
been raising the money himself. He
believed it should now be handled
as a Valley-wide matter. The pro
gram has been on the air since the
first week in March.
Osborne read a large number of
inquiries that had come to Donna
as a result of the radio program
Osborne was chairman of the
meeting, and speakers heard in
cluded J. E. Bell of San Benito,
Myron Ward of Harlingen, D. W.
Day of Harlingen, F. A. Swallow of
Alamo, John A. Phelan, G. C. Rich
ardson and others.
Ward urged the attendance of ten
citizens from each Valley county at
the forty-county meeting at San
Antonio on April 11, at the Gunter
hotel, at which there will be dis
cussion of plans for an extensive
South Texas advertising program.
This meeting was aranged early
in March at a gathering at Corpus
Christi.
• Whether we join in this plan or
not. we should be represented there
| to protect our interests in such
manner as may be found neces
sary,” Ward declared.
