VALLEY
RED IRVINE, athletic director,
and Doug Fessenden, head coach ot
the public schools are garrulous to
a degree about the Brownsville foot
ball team this year, but question
them all day about the prospects
of the team and see how much in
formation you get.
In fact both of these trainers got
a meal under false pretense at noon
Wednesday.
All the service clubs of the town
met together and Invited the
coaches and members of the team.
It was a deep laid plot on the part
of Rotary, Kiwanis and Lion offi- J
, cers to get the low-down on pros
pects of the team, as well as to
prove to the boys that they have
the support of the town.
Speakers poured forth praises
every coach and every member of
the team coming under the spot
light—and then Bill West, president
of the Rotary club, called on Doug
Fessenden to tell what the team is
going to do. “You all know’ more
about the team than I do.” was the
way he turned the matter aside.
• • •
Failing to accomplish one of the
real purposes of the gathering ir.
this manner. President West paint-!
ed a glowing picture of the opti-j
mism of the athletic director and
called on him to tell what the
Brownsville Eagles are going to da
this year.
Red Irvine responded by re-tell
lng a story of pure fiction he had
read In “True Story Magazine.”
But the other purposes of the
meeting was accomplished.
Members of the team, after that
luncheon, can have no doubt that
Brownsville is backing the team to
the limit and counting on them
winning high honors in the state
rare.
• • •
GowRGE A. TOOLAN. resuming
a iront page column in the Harlin
gen Star which he calls “It Seems
to Me” offers a different viewpoint
on the knocker, though George Is
entirely too polite to call them by
any such harsh name.
He points out that field men of
land companies often develop per
sons who deal in destructive criti
cism.
These field men. according to
Toolan, will promise a prospective
land purchaser anything and will
tell them anything if it will help
close a sale. The interest of these
men is only in earning a commis
sion—they have no care to protect
the good name of the Valley or to
assure her satisfied citizens by sell
ing land only on claims which will
be borne out.
• • •
That these extravagant claims are
not necessary recently was proved
in a dramatic manner.
A member of a land party could
not hear, but he could see.
The party was taken on the usual
drives, the members were given the
usual land selling talks.
The man who was deaf heard
nothing—he could only see.
Because he could not hear the
glowing pictures of this Valley as
they were painted by the orators,
the agents did not pay much atten
tion to the man.
One day an agent was showing
other members of the party a piece
of land.
“Have you any more land like
this," the man who could not hear
but who could see suddenly asked.
The agent took a piece of paper
and a pencil and wrote that he had
and continued his sales talk to
other members of the party.
“I'll buy ten acres.” the deaf
man said.
No, there Is no need for exaggera
tions, or to be more impolite, lies
•bout the Valley.
Persons who buy land here should
not be told the Valley does not have
frost. The Valley does have frost
all parts of it.
True the frosts usually do very
little or no damage, but we have
frost.
Persons who are planning to buy
land here should not be told we do
not have freezing temperatures. We
do have ‘freezing temperatures. Net
disastrous freezes, but freezes never
theless. Of course, it should be ex
plained there frequently are years
when the mercury does not fall to
even near the freezing point.
Plug the ears of every stranger
that comes into the Valley seeking
• new homeland and nine tenths of
them would buy property.
The Valley is good enough to sell
lUe£|| There is no need for exag
geraWoes " m * m
THE HERALD welcomes *Mr.
Tooian with his column. He con
ducted a like column in the Harlin
gen Star when it was a weekly pub
lication and when he was head of
the chamber of commerce there.
His column in those days was a
power for the good of the Valley.
It will be constructive now.

ALIENS’TRIAL
Representative of Mexican
Consul Satisfied With De
fendants* Treatment
Satisfaction with the manner in
which preliminary hearings are
conducted for alleged aliens here
by U. S. Commissioner E. K. Good
rich was expressed by Benjamin
Trevino, representative of Mexican
Consul L. Lopez Montero. after

how the aliens were handled at
preliminary hearings. Commission

Trevino listened in on all the
evidence and questioning and was
permitted to read the papers in th»
case. The system of taking con
fessions from first ofefnders was
explained to him and he agreed
that it was to the interest of both
the aliens and U. S. offices that this
system be used. It was inaugurated

DANCY'S VERDICT FAVORS
FIRST WILL OF J. W. LYLE
Judge O. C. Dancy, returning
to his desk after a day of Illness,
rendered a verdict in favor of the
first will of J. W. Lyle Wednesday
afternoon. He had held the case
under advisement for a week.
Lyle made two wills, Involving
property worth some $10,000. Bene
ficiaries of each of these contest- '
ed the probate of the other will.
The first Instrument was made in
Cameron county, naming as bene
ficiaries: Mrs. Carrie A. Roger,
niece; Georgia Anita Duncan utd
Mrs. Era Imetta Sexton, grand
nieces; Henry Norman Roger and
Joseph Ellis Roger, grand nephews;
and Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Brew
ster. foster daughter.
*#
Just prior to his death June 27,
Lyle made a trip to Weatherford
to visit other relatives and friends.
There he made a »econd will nam
ing as beneficiaries his wife, Vir
ginia Carey; a niece. Mrs. C. A.
Koger and J. E. Koger.
In the ensuing lawsuit, benefic
aries of the second will held that
the iast will set aside the first.
The opposition answered by say
ing Lyle was ill and of unsound
mind at the time the last will was
made and that undue pressure was
brought to bear upon him by peo
ple at Weatherford.
The second will is now open to
be probated.
Attorneys for the second will will
probably appeal to a higher court,
it is said.
