Texas politics seems to be the or-

Junction appears to be the runner-

made an excellent speaker of the house
yet we trust he will brush Jim from
his coattail, or else we fear the re-
sult.
It seems that the repeal of the
Robertson Insurance Law hasn't a

by Maury Hughes of Dallas, demo-

and the outcome is easily seen pictur-
ed pn the wall. The measure will be
[killed. The killing of this measure,
which we had thought should be pass-
ed, might be a good thing. Who'

bank had loaned the collapsed Insull

surplus of his bank, and some time lat-

he very kindly allowed the Reconstruc-
tion Corporation to hold the securiti-
es, on which he loaned $11,000,000 as
collateral on their advance to his
bank of $90,000,000. Is that what is
referred to as “high finance?” .

PIANO BARGAINS
------ .....----a larger portion of the range dis-
tricts of southwest Texas last Saturday night, Sunday and
Sunday night, and reports to this newspaper from seventf
sections of Edwards, Kinney, Sutton, Kimble, Real, Val
Verde and Kerr counties state that the precipitation reach-
ed one to two inches throughout the counties mentioned.
The gage at the Record office, a* well as the government
gage, in charge of Lon R. Smart, local observer, registered
one and one-twentieth inches rainfall during the two-day
period.
This precipitation was a God-send to this section, where
the late freezes have practically ruined the grass and weeds,
for the moisture already in the ground, was deep, and the
top was parched to around one and one-half inches, which
kept grass and weeds from shooting through.
Liveoak and other brush will now come out. Although
the rains last week were not heavy, yet with plenty of mois-
ture below, and with this top moisture, everything will be
green and wholesome within the next few days, if the sun-
shine continues as it has during a greater part of this week.
The weather was quite chilly Tuesday morning, yet dur-
ing the afternoon the bright sunshine warmed things up
considerably, and reports reaching us Tuesday and Wed-
nesday from ranchmen contain information that stock,
generally speaking, will get along very nicely if favorable
weather is had for the next few weeks.
Ewes are lambing throughout this section, and the lamb
crop is expected to be satisfactory, provided enough grass
comes through in the next few days so that short grazing
might be the lot of the ewes having young.
Had this rain not come when it did, there is no question
but that stockmen would have lost a number of head of
lambs, on account of the parched condition of the range,
yet at this time it is held that few lambs and kids will be
lost if they are properly taken care of, as no doubt range
will be in good shape within a few days.
Practically no news of note is creeping through as to the
future on mohair, yet it is said that good news often trav-
els very slow and we trust that this old saying will hold
good at this time, so that when news does break, it will
be found that mohair has again started on the up-grade,
and that all ranch commodities might bring some where
near what they can be produced for.
Business of every nature, is practically at a stand-still
in this section, although very little discouraging in forma-
tion is being passed on throughout the county. Those hav-
ing land to put to seed are busy, and have little time for
talk; those having nannies kidding are as busy as can be,
while the sheepmen are looking after the lambs and flocks,
hop ng all the while that the near future will bring io *hem
some glad tidings, so that they might tack their sales to
the ship of better things for the range districts.
(. Many are rather optimistic over the future, and contend
that while conditions are very bad with them, yet they
do not fail to realize that their condition could be even
worse, and are putting their shoulders to the wheel, yak-
ing the best of the little they are having, and sympathizing
with those who are less fortunate.
The spirit of the great west always prevails, and every
man, woman and child in this section is striving to keep
smiling” and work the harder, so that the future might be
brighter and enjoyed to a degree, by reason of their labors.
To Our Subscribers
We have cut the subscription price of the Record to
about cost, and in going over our books we find around
300 subscribers who have not renewed their subscriptions.
We are making an appeal to all who know they are in
arrears to please mail us a check or dollar bill, in order
that we might advance the date on your subscription
account.
Advertising patronage in the Record is now at a very
low ebb, in fact just as low as. can be to have any adver-
tising at all, and it appears that we will have to drag along
without selling any space for at least sixty days yet, but
during this time our overhead remains the same. In order
to remain on the job, and print the best paper possible,
under the circumstances, we must have a certain amount
of money to carry on.
Therefore we are appealing to every person who believes
in the work of this paper, to please sit right down and
mail us a one dollar bill, for we really need the money.
Our job business, thanks to the city and county authori-
ties, along with merchants who believe in home institu-
tions, has been very good, or else it would be impossible
to make the grade, so we are asking that subscribers help
until wool, mohair and other ranch commodities come
back and stimulate business so that our local and near-by
business institutions might advertise for your business,
as they did during 1927, ’28, ’29 and ’30.

commission.
Commissioner Thurman, in commencing on ^
fcrovemerit, unhesitatingly stated that in his ojrinfi
improvement program by the state is one of the outH
ing pieces of road building in this section of the staqQgl
he, as well as all the commissioners of Edwards cotiii
appreciate the manner in which the state has improved
this highway.
The commissioners appreciate the fact that in the ex-
penditure of the $10,000 for this road-building program
the highway commission has expended this amount prac-
tically in Edwards county, for nearly all the work has been
done by Edwards county citizens, and this money ha*
found its way into local trade channels, and provided many
days work for a number of citizens who were out of em-
ployment, at wage scales which permitted them to live
and take care of their families.
It is hoped that the highway commission might not be
placed in position, by reason of the attacks made on it, and
court and other matters detrimental to well-regulated road
building, that it will be unable to continue the schedule oE
road building as laid out and so far approved by the Fed-
eral government, so that our unemployed might suffer
very materially by such acts of “investigations” and such
like, which is seriously entering into the well-being of
the men in Texas who are in dire need of employment at
this time, and which will continue for some time to come.
The Federal government is cautioning state authorities
and members of the legislature, as the days go by, not to
do things that will cause the Federal government to call a
holiday along road building lines, for if the highway com-
mission is forced to tie up all its work on account of in-
vestigations, court actions and what not, by reason of a
contention as to who shall control that department, then it
can he said that the Federal government will withdraw'
all appropriations, and contemplated appropriations for
state highway improvement until such a time as this
“mess” is cleared up, and during this time the people of
the state must suffer by reason of the acts of the political
factions at Austin.
This sort of thing must stop some time, and right now
would be the “accepted moment.”
Banks in several commonwealths
functioned Tuesday under protective
hands of their state governments which
exerted stabilizing influences through
legislative and administrative acts.

How Doctors Treat
Colds and Coughs
To break up a cold overnight and re-
lieve the congestion that makes you
cough, thousands of physicians are now
recommending Calotabs, the nausealess
calomel compound tablets that give you
the effects of calomel and salts without
the unpleasant effects of either.
One or two Calotabs at bedtime with a
glass of sweet milk or water. Next morn-
ing your cold has vanished, your system
la thoroughly purified and you are feeling
fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you wish,—no danger.
Calotabs are sold in 10c and 35c pack-
ages at drug stores. (Adv)
