Sale of Beer In
Saloons Assailed
By Houston Lawyer
Open beer parlors and saloons are
scattered all over the City of Hous-
ton in spite of the promise of the
wets that when beer was made legal
no saloons would be tolerated, James
G. Donovan, attorney, said in a state-
ment Friday.
“The wets promised that if the
majority of the people would vote
for beer we would not have open
saloons.’’ Mr. Donovan said, “and re-
iterated this as a solemn promise to
the people, who forgetting the out-
come of similar promises in tho
past, voted for beer.
“Now what do we see? Open beer
parlors and saloons scattered all
over the City of Houston, through
the county and in every city of the
state, and nothing done about it. This
is how the wets keep their promises.
“Now the wets are coming back
with the promise that if the people
will only vote to repeal the state
constitutional amendment against the
sale of hard liquor they will see to
it there are no open saloons in Tex-
as. This is a ridiculous assertion.
“If the constitutional amendment
against the sale of hard liquor should
be repealed in Texas on August 24,
in less than 24 hours after the re-
sult of the poll is known there will
be saloons selling hard liquor all over
Houston and the state in the same
manner they are now selling beer.'*

STILL LIEING IN
OLD LEON COUNTY
All it needs for public officials to
clear their skirts of taint, is merely
to deny the charge. Evidence of dis-
interested parties or documentary
evidence doesn’t count.
Col. Bill Abbott and Dock DuBois
in Marvin’s sampling the famous
Murphy sodapop, when the question
of early days in Leon county came
up. After Dock had described how he
would go out early in the morning,
pick a fat buck out of a bunch of
deer, drive him home and shoot him,
Bill related an easy way the old tim-
ers had making money. In the old
days, said Col. Bill, wild turkeys
were plentiful in Leon county, but
further south they were scarce. Hens
brought two bits and gobblers four
bits. Biil said they trapped the tur-
keys in different ways, the most suc-
cessful way was to build a large
turkey pen, than starting in the cen-
ter of the pen dig a ditch extending
to the turkey range, than sprinkle
corn in the ditch. He sad a turkey in
eating is much like a hog, never looks
up, but travels with its head down
paying no attention to what’s in
front; like a road hog in his car, take
the middle of the road regardless of
the hights of others. Anyhow, he ex-
plained that the turkeys follow that
ditch with their heads to the ground
right under the fence and into the
pen, then hop out, and like some men
wonder how they got in, like some of
these relief fellows will be when the
relief plays out; while the farmers
and wise car drivers were looking for
dangers ahead, their corn will be
gone with them in a “heluvafix.” Well
Col. Bill told Dock, that he loaded
5 ox wagons with 500 turkeys to the
wagon at one catch. Now Frank you
must admit that was either a big
bunch of wild turkeys or a dum big
lie.—Jewett Messenger.

In 1910 the government set aside
an area of about 1500 square miles in
northwestern Montana as a national
park. It is a region of great natural
beauty, with towering peaks, lovely
valleys, and gem-like mountain lakes.
As there are many glaciers within
its borders it has been named the
Glacier National Park.
