SEVEN BULLS
PREPARED FOR
FOURTH FIGHT
Three Matadores Are
Brought to Border

New Arena
After a weak debut almost wash
ed out by a drenching rain three
weeks ago, big time bullfighting
will come back to Matamoros
Thursday afternoon when a seven
bull Fourth of July extravaganza,
featuring three well-known mata
dors, will be staged at the new
“Btenvenida” arena.
Ignacio Gallardo, manager of the
arena constructed recently at a
cost of about 35,000 pesos, feels cer
tain that the Thursday program will
be the best seen In this section
since Sidney Franklin, of motion
picture fame, was In his hey-day
fighting in Matamoros some six or
•even years ago.
Well-Known Matadors
Gallardo returned recently from
Mexico City where he completed
arrangements for three of the best
known matadors in Mexico and for
four additional Santo Domingo
bulls.
The matadors are Fernando Lo
pez, Leopoldo Ramos and Jose
Salas. These toreros made a big
hit with American Rotarians in
Mexico City, and they are general
ly recognized as top-flight fighters.
Three Xajay bulls saved from the
inaugural fight are to be killed in
addition to the four Santo Do
mingo bulls purchased by Gallardo
recently. Each matador Is to kill
two bulls, and the public, by pop
ular acclaim, will designate the one
to kill the final animal, it has been
announced by Gallardo.
In event of rain, the management
has announced, the fight will be
continued the following Sunday
with rain checks good lor the sec
ond performance.
The Blenvenida card is sched
uled to get under way at 4 p. m.

ard’s cafe on the main street to

Francisco Olvera, the picador

ing features of the inaugural card,

larger proportion of the Increase

Slump At Harlingen

Harlingen establishments took out
permits for sale of beer at retail
during the first six months of 1935,
according to records of licenses Is
sued by the city.
Only one wholesale license was
listed in the same period. It is
not regarded as likely that there
will be many taken out during re
mainder of the year because most
of the establishments which Intend
to sell beer have taken them out.
There was a grand rush in 1933
to get rich from the sale of newly
legalized beer. A total of 20 retail
and two wholesale licenses were is
sued.* With only a few months left
in 1933 It was comparatively easy to
raise enough money for a license.

HOME TOWN CANNING PUNTS
To The Herald:
Why can't agriculture change to
a better method of marketing?
Wouldn't It be foolish for one to
undertake to hankpick lint from
his crop of cotton, or pass up his
home gin and go several hundred
miles to another no better? Then
why contend that home canning Is
an economy, or local people use foods
put up at distant cities when a plant
in their own home town could serve
them just as well.
Then why not have a plant In
every town of over 5000? In doing
sc one wouldn’t expect to run full
time, all the year, but do gins?
Thus food would be cheaper, more
people employed, shorter hours per
day. Farm people would have time
to grow flowers, and go places.
Why grow flowers? For the pleas
ure their beauty gives, of course.
Why talk unnecessarily? Because we
discuss things for the pleasure gain
ed. There Is community profit In
home canning plants.

AGREES WITH MR. WALKER
To The Herald:
I saw your article about delin
quent taxes, and see how little you
know about the man who is really
delinquent, and I am in full sym
pathy with George F. Walker who
writes a real article and the truth
that you have missed. You quote fig
ures, but remember that figures lie,
and that is what a lot of these of*
fioe holders do. They blame the
other fellow so they may have their
regular check, and that is all these
leeches want (we have plenty ot
them here In Michigan) Is to be sup
ported. Why not by some one else
than the land owner? Have a sales
tax but have it relieve the property
tax.
Now. If one wished to pay his de
linquent tax. where could he borrow
the money to do It? Please let me
knew. I have tried and been unsuc
cessful. although I have a good 40
acres free and clear, and being farm
ed in Cameron county.
Why not give your farm friend a
show? Just why do you wish him to
pay this high robbery tax. with such
a high rate of interest? Why not be
fair and let him berrow the money
at a reasonable rate of interest? I
do not believe it even reasonable,
when one is down and cannot bor
nw the money to pay his tax to
charge him such an unjust rate of
Interest. I have no objection to this
letter being published but would be
pleased to have Mr Walker's address
in order to thank him for this ar
ticle.

BATTLE MAPPED
FOR CENTENNIAL
Bust Meant of Obtaining
$3,000,000 Grant
Studied
I
WASHINGTON. July $—(AV-The
best procedure to gain federal ap
propriation of $3,00.) ,000 for the
1030 Teas* Centennial presented a
puzzle Wednesday to Texas sena
tors and representatives.
Although President Roosevelt
signed a resolution authorizing an
appropriation of not more than
$3,000,000. the actual earmarking’
of treasury funds for this purpose
still must be accomplished.
Vice-President Garner and sen
ators Sheppard and Connally in
duced the senate to add the ap
propriation to the second deficiency
bill but last-minute requests from
other sources for appropriations
frequently delay such bills. They
do not want the Centennial Item
“bogged down” with “a lot of con
troversial items. ’ as Connally ex
pressed It. When the senate pat#S
the deficiency legislation. It will have
to go back to the house for con- |
current* in amendments. •
Chairman Buchanan (D-Tex) of
the house appropriations oommit
tee said the deficiency bill probably
would be delayed too long and he
would rather Introduce a separate
appropriation resolution which. If
approved, would make the money
available at once.
Representatives Lanham and
Johnson, who led the house fight
for the original authorization, fear
certain republicans might seek to
have the appropriation reduced to
$1,500,000 or less and the house
fight of two weeks ago would have
to be won over again.
As soon as this question Is set
tled. President Roosevelt likely will
formally name Cullen F Thomas
of Dallas commissioner-General eov
represent Garner and Secretaries
Hull, Wallace and Roper in nego- ,
tlatlons with Texas agencies spon
soring the celebration.
