Men of the type who arc doing this work do not begrudge the time spent in such activities, but they deserve the cooperation of those who are only asked to donate. Scouting in the Valley has undergone development in keeping with other phases of the growth of this section.

Tom Murray. Boy Scout executive, announces there are 46 troops in the Valley at present functioning properly. He says 20 more troops must be organized during the present year and that there are enough boys for 40 new troops if competent leaders could be secured. Chas F. Perry of Harlingen and Dallas has donated to Boy Scouts of the Valley a ten-acre tract on the Arroyo.

Other business men and firms have donated logs, lum- 'ber, cement and other building materials; carpenters have donated labor. A commodious building is practically complete and many other improvements have been made on the The asked will be the greatest possible force for development; of Valley boys into sunch, red-blooded American citizens.

Young Clerk Finds Road to Adventure in First Chapter VT-- CHAPTER I You would not think there was much connection between a clerk eating a poached egff on toast in a Cross restaurant, and an out-of-work laborer munching bread and cheese in an empty house in Northumberland; particularly when the laborer had barely heard of Kings Cross, and the clerk had never heard of Byford Moor, and they had certainly never heard of each other.

But Mr. Smith, who" is now one with Mrs. Smith, was once enjoying pickles in Margate while she was chasing a goat in Canada, and probably you, yourself, can trace some great friendship--or enmity to a strange, unpremeditated movement. You will be exceptional if you cannot. The strange, unpremeditated moment of the clerk will shortly be revealed, with the amazing journey that followed it and bore him into romance beyond his most daring dreams For all clerks have daring dreams.

First, however, let us take a look at the out-of- work laborer in the empt house at Byford Moor, since he, too, was on the verge of a Great Moment, totally different from that which galvanized the clerk at King's JOSCELYN Cross, and totally wedded to GRIFFIN TAKES STAND ELECTI -o- -o- -o- -o- -o- -o- San Benito Police Chief Billed The laborer's name was Ted.

Theie THOSE PERSONS who are in the habit of traveling by automobile between the Valley and San Antonio are inclined to avoid the trip these days. All due to the fact that they are building s. paved road over that dirt gap of some thirty miles near City. New grade Is now being used over part of the route. But following nrtns tnat traveling is not so good.

A Brownsville man, driving a truck to San Antonio a few days ago. declared that a thousand or more automobiles and trucks had to stop at Kenedy overnight following heavy rains. Therefore, those now making the trip should keep informed on weather conditions. The road is nol passable in hot weather. It will be different in six or seven months.

Brownsville has not been a "favorite son" with Jupiter Pluvius. Last week rains fell almost all over south Texas. In most copious quantities. They extended as far south as the Valley, and over some sections of the Valley. But failed to materialize in the extreme eastern end of the Valley.

Rain is needed. So declare the farmers. Cotton would be greatly benefitted. As would corn. THE VALLEY looks beautiful and smells sweet.

Nostrils are sniffing. The cause --orange blossoms. The annual deluge of perfume is Is the air--everywhere. Grapefruit orchards and orange Orchards are in full bloom. And if the quantity of blooms in evidence develop into fruit, there's be the biggest crop next year Valley has yet experienced.

The consumer must be ferreted out- in large numbers all over the nation. Brownsville-Boston Non-Stcn Flight To Be Tried Next Week (Special to The Herald) SAN ANTONIO, March' 28 -Lieutenants E.
