la Carthage, Texas, as second class saall
lady, so wa are told—even in the life of Adam and Eve. Lot/
of men just get nervous and like to go out walking at night
view the stars and moon and quaff the fragrant night air
-^r a busy day's work. While, it is true that some waJ
ir and forget how long they are staying out, due to
nature, yet others just take short walks and do no harm and
get home reasonably early. It has always been like that, lady,
and we guess it always will be.

What Every Father Knows
I can see the day approaching
When my boy will be encroaching
On a lot of my possessions
4 That I value rather high.
Now, for instance, just this morning
I detected him adorning
His delightful little person
With my best four-dollar tie!
But, perhaps I ought to mention
I have paid but small attention
To the clothes that he’s been wearing,
For, his mother ’tends to that.
But, from what I saw today. Sir,
I had better start to pay, Sir,
Some attention, or I am likely
Pretty soon to miss my hat!
And as he keeps on a-growin’,
He will more of this be showin*—
He’ll bedeck himself, I reckon.
With the best I ever wore!
He will swipe my sox and collars,
And the shirt that cost five dollars,
And as unconcerned as Moses
He’ll go struttin’ out the door! >,t
But I’m glad, with him to shard ’em—
I will gladly let him wear ’em!
But there’ll still be one possession *
t To whi;)i * shall hold the key !
- .. — -jare Him ftijr ,
' fiut hell never wear m7
For the way (lie rascals growm’*""^*.
i • --r- ... He’ll be twice the size of me!
V Prf!£ing up a TOWN
In b local store the other day, we saw a fanner buy a half
pound of watermelon seed and our eyes saw green and red
in the shape of melons which will come forth from these lit-
tle seeds in a few weeks. And we paused to wonder at the
wonderfulneas of God and His creation. We picked up a few
of the seed and thought how wonderful all things are that are
of God a handiwork. To know that in less than a season of a
short year, large luscious melons will grow and ripen from
these little seeds and this fanner will realize from an invest-
ment of 15 cents and a few hours labor, perhaps $50 or more
in revenue from the sale of melons. Where else in the world
could one plant 15 cents with a few hours labor and reap
$50, save on God's footstool ?
Cotton Droppers!
If You Are Going to Buy A
“Covington” Cotton Dropper
See me and leave your order. At planting time
last year we couldn’t g£t them.

1 In this day v/hen many of us are living at a vapid rate, we
hardly live too fast to‘think of our personal Appearance. We
are proud of clothes that look good and fit well. We all have
that spark of vanity to “'doll up.”
This same spirit should be deeply imbedded in our nature
to ‘‘doll up” the town in which we live.
One of the most inexpensive and most substantial ways of
dressing up a town is to encourage painting of all new build-
ings and re-painting buildings which have a faded or old
appearance. Nothing brightens or adds so much to the appear-
ance of a town as newly painted structures.
1929 would be a good year to repaint that old home or out-
building and then for good measure, slay the weeds, where
there are sure to be a jillion mosquitoes within the next few
weeks.
Carthaginians are proud of Carthage and we believe that
this year will see them use paint liberally and make her shine
and glisten before the eyes of the stranger.
We believe that more newly painted houses would bring
more smiles to the faces of everyone.
And now that Spring has opened “local talent” pertaining
to outwitting the finny tribe is active. Every day we see folks
pulling out their fishing canes and getting the old minnow
buckets and fishing tackle together for a trip to a stream or
lake. And when we see all this we are again glad we live in
East Texas. While East Texans have been accused of fishing
too much, the writer is one who has never yet abused this
privilege that has always and we hope will continue to be, ac-
corded to East Texans. No, sir! Whether we catch ’em or not,
we enjoy seeing those we accompany catch great strings of
fish. We enjoy immensely eating 4he first few pounds of fish
and after that we eat to be sociable.
The dairy cow is “hooking” the East Texas farmer out of
the cotton middle. She is tired spending upon cotton money
alone for her feed and in a few years, she’s pretty near going
to be boss of the average farm.

A lady called our attention to several local conditions i /-
eral days ago. One of her suggestions or requests was that we
. write a clever editorial on why married men should not go
out away from home at night. We presume that she would
like for all husbands to spend every night at their own fire-
side three hundred and sixty five days (or more if it were
possible) out of every year. Not ever having been married we
are not capable, lady, of writing any kind of an editoria! en-
titled “Why Married Men Shoud Stay at Home Nights.” Seine
men require more sleep than others, just like other folks and
some require very little sleep. It has always been that way,
homa. The border strip !n question
Is 12S miles Ion* and ranges from
2.P00 to 4,000 feet in width.

Moo;)y Delays Action
Governor Moody has dela ’ filing
his approval or disapproval of a
large number or liilb naaneu. by the
Legislature until this week. The more
important measures will not receive
executive veto or approval until lat-
er, it Is indicated. There are approx-
imately 173 bills awaiting the at-
tention -of the Governor.
Interest is unabated as to the prob-
able action of the young Governor
on the Wirtz party purity measure
and the Sunday movie hill.
A raise in pay is assured the State
Rangers. Governor Moody has an-
nounced his intention of signing the
bill which would give them the boost
in pay. The pay of privates is In-
creased from $90 per month to $150:
of sergeants from $100 to $175, and
of captains from $150 to $225.
Outlaw Seines
The use of drag seines for fishing
along the Texas Gulf Coast is pro-
hibited hy law, with the signing of
Senate Rill 88 hy Gov. Moody. Sena-
tor T. J. Holbrook of Galveston
sponsored the bill. The law takes
effect on January 1, 1930.
Hidalgo Case Up
After many delays, the Hidalgo
County election case was scheduled
to get under way in the Travis Coun-
ty District Court this week. A suit
has been brought hy Gordon Griffin,
unsuccessful Independent Republican
candidate fo Ustrict judge of Hidal-
go County, seeking to enjoin Secre-
tary of Stale Jane Y. McCalluni from
certifying as having heen elected.
Judge J. R Leslie. *
Griffin alleges that he was elect-
ed hut that the Hidalgo County Com-
missioner’s Court threw out the en-
tire vote of Weslaco on the tech-
nicality that the envelope containing
the returns was unsealed.

Dramatic Defeat
Senator Hardin and Representative
Leniens had worked hard, and u^ed
keen parliamentary generalship in
pushing the progjeks of the hill. It
passed the Senate and was engineer-
ed up to the stage for final passage
A large delegation of citizens from
Meridian was in the gallery. It was
the last day on which bills could
be considered. Enough votes were
pledged for its passage. There were
so many bills awaiting action that
a lottery was used to determine
the order in which members might
cal! up their bills for consideration
under a suspension of *he rules.
Lemons had a low number. The
House dragged through the day with
the usual time-consuming wrangling.
Only two bills were left before the
teachers college bill could Ite brought
np. A motion for a recess carried" hy
a close majority. After a bitter fight
the House refused to return for a
night session. Thus the Meridian
bill and hundreds of others died on
the calendar.
Committees at Work
Preliminary work for' the called
session was In progress in Austin
this week. The House Appropria-
tions Committee is balding sessions
to work out the tangle of requests
for anpropriatlons. The work of the
Senate Finance Committee was prac
tically completed during the regular
session. The committee will hold
hearings in which departmental
heads and heads of state institu-
tions will appear to give reasons for
their requests—usually for Increased
appropriations. Thr. State Board of
Control, in the budget that it sug-
gests to the Legislature, cuts down
the items asked for, but the institu-
tions and departments take their
final appeal to the Appropriations
Committee.
Hear T. U. First
The first Institution to be heard
from was the University of Texas.
A schedule for other hearings has
heen prepared. The University asked
for more than six million dollars
for the next two years, but the Board
of Control would recommend only
slightly more than four millions.
Representative John F. Wallace of
Teague Is Chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee. This
chairmanship is the most sought
