Merchants Loan Bank
To Operate Branches
In All Valley Towns
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, July 17.—The Val
ley Merchants Loan company, or
ganized here a short time ago with
Roy E. Clark as president, is to
operate what might be termed “ex
tension branches” throughout the
Valley, in co-operation with the
merachants associations, according
to Mrs. Ethel B. Finks, manager of
the local institution.
The loan company here is to be
operated in conjunction with the
merchants association, principally
as an aid in the handling of de
linquent accounts.
Merchants associations in several
other cities of the Valley, including
Brownsville, Mercedes, McAllen, and
probably Raymondville, wil lbe en
abled to make loans through the
local concern, according to a plan
which is being worked out at the
present time.

Mrs. Thurston believes in plain
living and high thinking, and oh.
how poor Mr. Thurston would love
to do a little high living and plain
thinking just for a change.
Mosquitoes, spiders, water bugs
and land bugs, and jnaybe a teeny
weeny snake just for excitement.
Oh. well, of course you have to
take the bitter with the sweet—
And Alice Thurston will get sun
burned and Mary Thurston will get
frcekled—oh, how that girl can
freckle—and Brother will get sun
burned, tanned and freckled, and
mosquitoes will bite him and after
he has eaten the watermelon, the
chocolate cake, the ice cream and
two or three sweet pickles, and one
or two sour pickles and a bag of pop
corn—no, two bags, one sweet and
one plain—he’ll feel a little tired
of living and want to crawl away
somewhere and have a good cry.
like a girl—only he won’t dare; and
in the night? maybe they will have
to send for the doctor—who knows.
I wish I was going to the picnic
myself, I’d like to notice the oldest
Thurston girl when the superin
tendent of the Sunday school takes
her out for a row on the lake.
And I would love to hear the
youngest Thurston girl singing
Honey—you know that new song
with the saccharine dip to it. And
I really would love to see the little
school teacher from Maine, sitting
on the back seat with the preacher,
on the way home.
I hope there will be a moon—how
sweet the wild roses are after a
rain, anyhow.
You ought to see how young the
little school teacher will look after
that ride home in the moonlight.
Pa TTiurston ?—yes. what a lot of
good i# will do to get away from
diets and don’t and must-n’ts for
one day anyhow.
Poor fellow, I wouldn’t be sur
prised if he got real reckless and
tried to kiss the Sunday school
teacher right before everybody.
There is something about picnics
—don’t you remember—“Seeing
Nellie Home” and “My Wild Trish
Rose when the sun has gone down
and camp fire is lit—and—oh, well,
what’s the use?
Here’s to the picnic, and the
mosquitoes, and the flies, and the
moths, and the sound of the water
lapping, and the Cp of the oars—
J; ^oes us pood to get out of our
little boxes once in a while even if
we do get our feet wet.
Don’t you think so?
