The Boss admits that he is a poor
politician. He boasts that he is not
influenced "by the mob, and is proud
of his minority association in the late
unpleasantness of Saturday, July 28.
The Boss lost the greater majority
of his votes for local men. He is a
good loser, and thinks he’ll get over
it all right. The fellows elected are
good men, and our idea of a good
loser is one who will get in behind
the gentlemen elected and give them
wholehearted and enthusiastic co-
operation so that they will be able to
give us the service which we expect
and demand. Speaking for himself,
an dhe believes for a great majority
of those who voted as he did, the
Boss can and will do just that.
There tare yet several contests polit-
ically that have to be settled in a
second primary. The district at-
torney’s race is the most interesting
from a strictly local viewpoint, and
the lieutenant-governor’s race is the
most important in statewide interest.
In the district attorney’s race the
Boss is open to conviction. He was
against both of the leading candi-
dates and figures that it is about
a standoff or in baseball parlance
fielder’s choice. The same holds true
in one respect in the lieu-
tenant-governor’s race—the Boss
wasn’t for either one of them and
isn’t yet, for that matter, but be-
tween the two he chooses as the les-
ser of two evils Barry Miller. Barry
at least is a Democrat, even if a wet
Democrat. Tom Love is anything to
get the votes.
The man who takes a nap while
holding a steering wheel usually
wakes up holding a harp instead.

HERE IS BULLETIN EACH
FARMER SHOULD HAVE
The 40th Annual Report of the
Texas Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion has just come from the press.
This report states concisely the
progress made during 1927 upon
nearly one hundred and fifty proj-
ects, in each of which a large num-
ber of farmers and ranchmen are
directly interested. Some three hun-
dred topics are discussed in its near-
ly one hundred twenty-five pages.
More than one hundred A. & M. Col-
lege research workers have contrib-
uted to the results reported in this
small volume and it is a summary of
their most important findings during
the year. Valuable new information
is reported on the feeding and breed-
ing of livestock and the combat of
diseases and pests of livestock, of
poultry and field crops. The beha-
vior of numerous varieties and
strains of the various crops grown
In Texas are reported in each of
the sixteen regions where tests have
been made with these crops. Prac-
tices for date of planting, rate of
seeding and character of cultivation
are indicated for each region.
After the supply for free distri-
bution has been exhausted a small
supply will be retained to lend to
those requesting a. copy, of this re-
port.. Address A. B. Conner, Direc-
tor,. Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station, 'College Station, Texas.
This newspaper made some effort
and spent some money trying to get
complete tabulated precinct returns
for the primary in Young county.
We failed to get it. We hope that we
will be able in this issue to give at
least the complete county vote for
each contestant, though as yet we
have been unable to get even that.
We are informed that our contem-
porary, the Graham Leader, had the
tally sheets in its possession and
was tabulating the results Tuesday
afternoon. If so they will probably
have the tabulation in that paper
this week. Seems to the Boss that
this information should have been
i compiled by the county chairman
and every newspaper in the county
given an even break on th'e news.
Of course we might be wrong, but
that is our impression.
—a—
As far as the Olney candidates
were concerned it is fortunate that
this village is situated on the banks
of Salt Creek, thus saving them a
long journey to reach the stream
before starting on their pilgrimage to
its headwaters.
Somebody told the Boss that the
“sign was right” today for fish to
bite. I don’t exactly understand all
I know about this sign business any-
way, and besides I am a believer in
newspaper space and not a believer
i in signs as a rule; but old Nimrods
tell me, speaking zodiaeally, that
when the sign is in the belly the
fish will bite, and my Ladies’ Birth-
day almanac thus locates the sign for
Thursday and Friday. For this and
other reasons too numerous to men-
tion, the Boss, the Boss’s Boss and
our visiting friends are, even as you
read this, attempting to ensnare the
wily denizens of the deep at Lake
Kemp. In ease we catch any fish this
column will contain a graphic’ and
lengthy account of the details next
week. In case we don’t, we may be
too darn mad to write this column at
all.
Appointment of state hospitality
committee for the tenth national
convention of the American Legion,
to be held at San Antonio October
8 tol2, was announced here today
by Department Commander Walton
D. Wood.
Texas plans to leave nothing un-
done, Commander Hood said, to
make its thousands of Legion con-
vention visitors feel at home and
enjoy their stay within the boun-
daries of the state. The entire
state is asked to co-operate in
extending a hearty welcome to the
visitors from the moment they cross
the state line on their way to San
Antonio until they depart from the
state on their homeward journey.
Posts throughout the state are
working on hospitalitity plans for
Legionnaires who pass through their
home cities, Commander Hood stat-
ed. He urged every post which had
not already started definite prepara-
tions to get the work under way at
once. The general program of hospi-
tality will *be in charge of the state
committee.
Leonard Withington, of Fort
Worth, former Legion national
executive committeeman from Texas,
has been appointed chairman of the
committee. Vice chairmen are: Earn-
est O. Thompson, of Amarillo; a
member of the Legion’s foreign
relations commission; H. B. Paggi,
of Port Arthur, and City Commis-
sioner Arthur Reinhart, of Dallas.
Sam Fimble, Jr., of Kingsville, is
secretary.
Other members of the committee
are: L. F. Boling, San Benito;
James Howze, Mercedes; Mayor Fin-
ley Ewing, Harlingen; Herber Mar-

TEXAS COTTON CROP IS
ESTIMATED AT 4,500,000
Although two weeks late, the cot-
ton crop is in fairly good condition
and with favorable seasons from now
on should make from 4,500,000 to
5,000,000 bales, George B. Terrell,
State commissioner of Agriculture,
said Tuesday, in a review based on
conditions up to July 15.
Cotton acreage shows an increase
of 6 per cent over last year and the
condition is 71 per cent of normal,
he said. Insect damage is not heavy
so far and the damage from drought
in some sections is greater than dam-
age from boll weevil.
The sweet girl graduate was
being shown through the locomo-
tive shop.
‘What is that enormous thing?”
she asked.
“That,” explained the guide, “is
locomotive boiler.”
“And why do they boil locomo-
tives?” she insisted.
‘To make" the engine tender,”
the guide said.

Cannot Say What We Think
EVERY MAN’S PRIVILEDGE
-o-
“I’d rather be' right than be Pres-
ident,” once said a' distinguished
American. An antagonist comment-
ed to one sitting near him: “I do
not expect to live to see him either
the one or the other.”
We cannot, always be sure we are
right,, as we are occasionally re-
minded to- our chagrin and some-
times to o.uiv sorrow.
But at: least we can always be
honest. Mistakes are inevitable, but
to be honest is denied to no man.
He has the inestimable priviledge of
choosing between what is honest and
that which is not. He can speak
honestly, act honestly, think honest-
ly. And when he so speaks, acts
and thinks, he will have no vain
regrets-
Ed Lindsey, the pastor in charge
of the presiding.elder of this column,
was looking around town for the
Boss one day early this week and
told one of our friends that he want-
ed to see us about something that
had been or had not been said in
this column. Not knowing anything
definite as to Ed’s frame of mind—
not knowing whether commendation
or condemnation was t obe our por-
tion, we gave him the slip and to this
good minute haven’t seen him. How-
ever, the Boss can’t escape for long,
and the result of the interview or
altercation, whichever it proves to
be, will sooner or later be given due
publicity herewith.
—o—
Mrs. Edith Wilmans threatens to
contest the election on the grounds
that her name was barred from the
ticket in several counties. The Boss
suggests that in order to save this
expense to herself and to the State
that the entire governor vote in each
and all of these counties be given
to Mrs. Wilmans. It wouldn't affect
the ultimate result any and would
certainly be generous to the lady.
In case you don’t know, Mrs. Wil-
mans was a candidate for Governor
of Texas before the primary last
Saturday.
-o--
Mrs. E. D. Evans left Monday
to visit her mother at Cundiff.
When some auto salesman hard and cold,
Says your car is looking pretty old,
You’ll stand and listen to him for a day,
But, if we just hint the nicest way,
Your old suit is due for a cleaning,
You’i*e ready to give us a beaning.
