BLUE BONNET IS ALWAYS OPEN Service, at any time of the day or night, seven days a week, has been one of the deciding factors in the popularity of the Blue Bonnet cafe, located between the El Jardin and Travelers hotels on Levee street, Brownsville. The Blue Bonnet is known to Valley residents from Brownsville to Mission as one of the few first- class cafes in the Valley that remains open throughout the day and night. This modern, clean, sanitary cafe has grown in a few short years to one of the most popular in the city. The cafe has regular diners as well as tourist trade, and specializes in regular meals as well as short orders. Draft and bottle beer also is sold at the Blue Bonnet.

Sanitation is the watchword of this cafe. The health of the customer ranks right along with the Blue Bonnet's ability to please the customer in choice and variety of foods. Realizing that the cafe patron demands sanitation because he realizes the dangers of unsanitary eating conditions, this restaurant has taken every precaution to serve food that is absolutely 'clean, and in dishes that have been thoroughly sterilized. Whether it be for a satisfying meal, for a short order, or merely for a cup of coffee, the customer can be assured that he will get the best of foods and prompt service at any hour day or night at the Blue Bonnet cafe. A well-furnished waiting room has been installed in connection with the cafe, which has become one of the most popular meeting places in the city.

Offers A complete banking service to Tourists. Residents and Business Institutions of the Lower Rio Grande Affiliated with the major Banking Institutions of the United States and Mexico.

Juan S. Cross Pres. Board of Directors Ignacio Martinez, MgT. H. Matamoros, Mexico frequently finds cemetarie objectionable locations," say, Snrique Valetin, secretary of th Buena Vista Burial Park associa of this city, "but this is not he case with the Buena Vista park "It is lodated on some of the highest and best land to be founc in the vicinity of Brownsville, anc it is bounded on three sides by paved highways.

This location insures adequate drainage, an abundance of shrubbery and flowers, anc makes the burial park accessible in all types of weather," the association secretary states. The Brownsville park completely gets away from the two complaints often lodged against burial grounds --that they are on low land and that the soil is not fertile. In order to save money on the Initial cost, many cemetarieE are located on lands which cannot be used for any other purpose. When the Buena Vista park was established, a thorough investigation was made of all available sites around Brownsville before the present location was selected. Other advantages offered by the local burial park are: That it is non-sectarian, a very reasonable advance purchase plan, park plan of landscaping and provisions for perpetual care.

When you purchase a family plot in the Buena Vista park, you are assured that the plot will be well cared for even if you are never able to visit it after the death of your loved ones. Many Brownsville family heads are taking advantage of the advance purchase plan. This plan is very reasonable, Valentin states, and causes no severe financial strain as is the case when a family is forced to purchase a plot unexpectedly. If you've never experienced the thrill of battling a big fish, and of bringing him to gaff after a victorious battle, right now is one of the best times of the season to experience this thrill. Experienced fishermen have been flocking to Del Mar beach this month in greater numbers than at any other time during the season, for this is one of the periods in which fish bite the best in the surf at Del Mar.

Large catches are being made from the surf there each day, and every day more and more are entering the fishing contest there that lasts the remainder of the month, in which valuable prizes are offered those catching the most fish and the largest fish. Big redfish and tarpon are being caught this month at Del Mar in almost record numbers. Not only fishermen are being attracted to Del Mar this month Many residents of the Valley as well as tourists have learned that Is one of the best months of year in which to enjoy cool Gulf breezes and healthful swims in the Gulf. An added attraction or visitors to Del Mar are the reduced rates on modern, well equipped cabins. These reduced rates are ffective, for the remainder of the winter, making it possible for visitors to remain for several days during the week, for a week or for a month a great deal cheaper than is possible during the summer months.

There is no better body-builder for the tired business man or the run-down person than a few days' stay in cool breezes, warm sunshine, sparkling Gulf waters and clean sandy beaches. Nothing will build health and chase worry r.s ill a rest at this model beach resort. Reservations for a day, several days, week or month may be made by telephoning or writing Del Mar, where every comfort and enjoyment is offered in modern service, modern cottages, and the best of recreation. HOLTRY'S SETS STUDENTS JOBS Holtry's College of Beauty Culture, located at 217 E. Harrison Avenue at Harlinugen, now has students enrolled from Arizona, Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin anc up-state as well as Valley points as a result of the wide-spread reputation of this modern institution The college has been forced to move thro: times during the past few years in order to obtain larger quarters to accommodate the ever- increasing classes.

The college now is offering shorter courses in beauty culture as well as the regular six-months course. Another aid to students is the arrangement through a well-known manufacturer whereby, purchasers of beauty culture machines may be enrolled at the college at a reduced rate. All graduates of Holtry's College of Beauty Culture are placed in paying positions upon completion of the course.

The success of Holtry's College of Beauty Culture is based on the growing demand throughout the Jnited States for skilled employees in beauty shops. The busy beauty parlor no longer is able to take untrained girls and teach them the rt of beauty culture. They must le thoroughly trained today before hey can expect to get employment.

The tudent not only is taught the theory of beauty culture, but also gets actual experience in the work.
