MISSION PLANS
BIG ‘CIRCUS’

Of League For
Decade
(Special to The Herald.)
MISSION, April 24— The Civic
League, which has been working
for the beautification of Mission
for the past decade or more, is
planning what will prove to be the
biggest thing ever attempted in
this town next Tuesday, in the way
of a “circus’’, which will be a most
enjoyable and laughable affair.
This circus, with all the animals
represented by Mission’s prominent
business men as well as some of
the big business men from other
towns, promises to be a scream
from beginning to end.
All sorts of ’‘animals’’ will parti
cipate in the parade, which will
start from the city hall at 6:30 p.
h., the “animals” to be here from
every town from La Feria to Rio
Grande City, with elephant, giraf
fes, tigers, hippopotami and roaring,
man-eating lions down to the
gentle “gazelles” who may be pet
ted by anyone who cares to do so.
Bareback Riders
Bareback riders will also be there,
and with the clowns (real ones)
will furnish the amusements.
And, confidently expecting that
the hearty laughter indulged in will
give everybody a whopping big ap
petite, booths where all sorts of
food will be supplied are to be
placed in the dt7 park, on East
10th Street.
In these booths may be had hot
tamales, enchiladas, and all sort
of Mexican foods, while for those
less Inclined to hot stuff, there xsill
be hamburger stands, where potato
salads, sandwiches, candles, cold
drinks, etc., will be served with pop
corn for the youngsters, and every
one else who still lores the deli
cious appetiser.
Many surprises will be in store
for those who sre still “young” ,
enough to “take tn” a circus once
In a While, lust imagine Tom Sam-1
mans and Homer Smith and a few
of those staid businessmen trving
to conquer "wild” horses or "Fog
horn 8prow!" as the meek and
gentle eyed “gazelle."
A fortune telling booth: "nigger
baby doll.” for the boys to shoot
at and all other aorta of fun will
be there for you. with an “old fid
dler's contest” to make merry your
evening. These old fiddlers, who by
the way, are entering from prac
tically every town, will be contest
ing for an award of $5 00. which
has been promised by the League
to the winner.
Circus
The “circus" which will furnish
amusement during the entire eve
ning with stunts of a’.l sorts, is bv
the way, the foundation of a plan
whereby the Civic Legaue plans to
raise sufficient funds to beautify
the “brnd in the road.” just east of
the city, which has been an eye
sore for these many yearn, and
which the Civic League p’ans to
make into a real beauty spot, with
a fountain and 111v pond with
parkin* and beautiful flowers as
a background.

Ask “Father Time**
about this
If you have named a friend as executor under
your will you have no assurance that he will out
live you.
Father Time is no respector of individual
executors.
On the other hand, when you name us as your
executor and trustee, you do not have to con
sider the time element. As a corporation we en
joy unlimited life.
But, being a corporation, we are made up of
a group of individual human beings, who under
stand the human as well as the business aspects
of settling an estate.
With us to follow through for you, the finan
cial fortunes of your family will be in safe and
kindly hands.

THE BILL
; for ELECTRICITY
It is easy to realize that “Electricity
is the Biggest Bargain You Buy” when
one considers that the average family
spends less than $3 a month—less than
IO$ a day—for all the benefits of this
faithful, untiring servant.
Modern low rates are possible only
because capable engineering and
efficient management are “on the job"
in your behalf.
Your utility company is constantly
discovering new economies in opera
tion, new savings opportunities, that
effect the Tate of electric service to
you. These new economies, new sav
ings, are the reasons why your rate has
been steadily reduced.
