A roving correspondent meets lots
of interesting people all over the
State.
Remember Col Billie Mayfield and
Mayfield’s Weekly?” That was pub-
lished some 25 years ago when May-
field made the iace for Lieutenant
Governor, getting into the runoff.
Now, he’s editor of the Coleman
County Chronicle. Met him not long
ago and reminded him that there
was one county in which he received
just one vote and that he offered to
buy that lone supporter a fine suit
of clothes if he would make his iden-
tity known.
"Yes,” Colonel Billie laughed,
“and 37 men wrote me, each claim-
ing that he was the one who voted
for me!"

Many war plant workers have
temporarily moved into the cities
from Texas towns and the country.
Some of them have fallen into the
(Clutches of loan sharks who levy 250
per cent interest and more and
whose unscrupulous methods of
collecting upset the morale of these
war workers. There is a rising sen-
timent over the State that the Leg-
islature protect them by enacting an
injunction bill to put the loan sharks
out of buinsess.

The old-time hobo printer was one
of the most romantic figures in
newspaper annals. Harry Schwenk-
er’s “Sauce” column in the Brady
Standard states:
The hobo printer was identified
with the era in the printing and pub-
lishing industry when type was set
by hand. Introduction and almost
universal use of the typesetting ma-
chine spelled the doom of the itiner-
ant printer; he knew it, and how he
did hate the typesetting machine. So
much so, in fact, that he would rath-
er starve than give up his type-set-
ting by hand for the far faster meth-
od of setting type by machine.
The old-time hobo printer migrat-
ed just about like the birds—south
in the fall of the year; north in the
spring. All along his route of travel,
back and forth, he had certain stop-
ping place#, where the town printer
or publisher could be counted on to
give him work for a day or two, or
else a financial lift to enable him to
get a bite to eat until he could make
it to the next stop Transportation
was the least of his worries; riding
the rods, or traveling by box-car
(side-door pullman) was as good as
the hobo printer wanted.
The marvelous defense of their
“good earth” that the Chinese almost
barehanded have waged for five
years against Japanese armed with
tanks, planes, machine guns and ar-
tillery is one of the great, heroic
achievements of history.
Everyone regarded the Chinese
lightly as fighters before the Japa-
nese invasion. Once I was interview-
ing Will Rogers and a famous air-
plane manufacturer. The cowboy
humorist-philosopher said to the
plane-maker, “Tell Boyce about that
big order you got recently.” The
manufacturer objected, “That was a
military order; maybe I’d better not
£ay anything about it.” But Rogers,
with that wonderful grin, replied:
“Oh, you sold ’em to the Chinese
—you wouldn’t call that military!”

Pending in the Texas Senate are
two bills already passed by the
House—one unanimously, the other
almost unanimously. Rep. Ben
Sharpe’s bill would make available
at once a balance of $1,154,000 which
was appropriated for old age as-
sistance for the fiscal year of 1041 -
42 but was not spent then. The
Sharpe bill will prevent a cut in the
pension checks for the next few
months. And if the Senate will adopt
Rep. Ennis Favors’ bill providing for
lifting the present “ceiling,” the dan-
ger of future cuts in the pension
checks will end.

A WARNING
By Ruth Taylor
For the past two month I have
spent the greater part of my time
traveling—and listening. I’ve heard
such incredible tommyrot talked in
club car after club car, that I’ve risen
in rebellion at last. It is time that
some of the stuff and nonsense put
forth by unwitting Nazi agents be
debunked, and brought out in the
open, so here are some of the stories
I have heard.
“Labor is blackmailing industry
for higher wages, and sabotaging
the war effort for its personal gain,
caring nothing about our soldiers be-
ing without weapons.” Who are these
soldiers but the sons and brothers of I
men who work? Where are our j
younger labor leaders but on the
firing line? What has been the of-
ficial record of Labor on production?
“Capital is storing away great prof-
its from war contracts won at the
expense of the workers.” Our tax
laws (which drain off 80 percent of
the net income of corporations mak-
ing more than a certain amount) are
no respecters of industry—and the
Treasury agents, like the Royal
Mounted Police, get their lawbreak-
ers. The sons of the rich fight shoul-
der to shoulder'with the sons of the
poor in this war.
“The farmers are taking advantage
of the situation to get high prices.”
Whoa, there. Have you, Mr factory
worker, asked for higher wages re-
cently? And how would you like to
work fourteen to sixteen hours a day
seven days a week. (The cows and
chickens never heard of a five-day
week.)
“The Irish are so busy fighting
England, they won’t fight Germany.”
Have you read the list of heroes re-
cently? (I did hear one complaint.
An Irish friend of mine said they
didn’t have a good choir any more—
for five hundred boys from his small
parish had gone to war.)
“The Jews are dodging army
duty.” How under Selective Service
they could effect this, they neglect
to say—but the real answer to this
lie can be read in any casualty list.
(Remember when you read one that
only 4 percent of all Americans are
Jews—and that many Jews have
names that are not distinctively Jew-
ish.)
“The Negroes are putting press-
ure on the government for social
equality.” What the Negroes want is
the right to fight and die as Ameri-
cans for the country that is theirs,
too.
“The (fill in any group that dis-
agrees with you) won’t cooperate in
the war effort.” Disagreement is 'not'
disunity. You can't force a free peo-
ple to ‘think’ alike, but they are all
ready to ‘fight’ alike for freedom.

Electric equipment of many kinds
serves the modem hospital. Busy
doctors and nurses use it every day
for diagnosis and treatment, with-
out even pausing to think of the
constant supply of electricity that
runs it ____

But electric power isn’t auto-
matic. The hard-working men and
women of Central Power and Light
Company are folks who have made
it dependable.
They’ve made it plentiful, too—
so that America’s war needs are
promptly met. And they’ve made
it cheap—so that the average South
and Southwest Texas home enjoys
twice as much electricity for the
same money it paid about 15
years ago.
These are the results of practical
business management under public
regulation—part of the system of
business freedom in which millions
of Americans have put their faith
and their savings.
