IT *1 Governor Honors
“i a”l Local Editor in
. f Appointment
Gov. Coke R. Stevenson has
honored this country editor with
tment as a member of
Board of Commissioners of
Texas Centennial of State-
hood.' Its outstanding project
deals with revitalizing rural life
in Texas, a subject in which most
country editors are deeply inter-
ted.
Farm and ranch life must be
made more attractive and profit-
able. Rural folk are entitled to
the conveniences, comforts and
compensation enjoyed by city
dwellers, and the time has come
when they must be provided if
city folk continue to eat regular-
ly and have something to wear.
This Texas Centennial of State-
hood proposes to formulate plans
for rebuilding of worn-out soil,
p practices that will increase
uctivity and enrich the soil;
farm-to-market roads; rural elec-
trification and telephones, live-
stock improvements; markets and
cost analysis; health, church and
recreational facilities; schools,
beautification and modernization
needs.
This editor heartily approves
the above program and has de-
voted many columns of newspa-
per space to these subjects. When
he was a school boy studying
Texas history he read a state-
ment by Gov. O. M. Roberts who
said, “Civilization begins and
ends with the plow.” Unless ru-
ral life is made more attractive
and profitable for food producers
there is going to be less food. If
considered from the standpoint of
just compensation for services
rendered the state and nation, ru-
ral folk are entitled to more and
better things that go to make for
ealthy, happy, intelligent, pros-
ous and contented existence
an they have experienced in the
past.
This editor thanks Governor
Stevenson for the honor confer-
red, and he will be glad to lend
his mite of information to the
'exas Centennial of Statehood.

TALCO SCHOOL BAND
HAVING REHEARSALS
Talco’s band classes have start-
ed, having rehearsals every night
at 7:30. All band members are
urged to attend these rehearsals
in order to have a good playing
band by the time school starts’,
and a good band for the football
games. All those expecting to
take part in the activities of the
band this year, should make ar-
rangements now, before school
starts, says G. C. Collum, director.
“We expect to make it the best
year in the history of the band,
and we are glad to have those
who are seriously interested in
| the study of music.
“In God we trust” until the
I election rolls around qnd then we
trust the politicians, which is an
I important reason why we fail so
! often to get good men in office.
according to Monroe U. May,
county farm agent, after complet-
ing an inspection tour.
The insects are especially bad
around Minter and Round Prairie,
the agent said, in warning farm-
ers in other areas of the county
j to guard against the destructive
worms.
Calcium arsenate is still the
most effective insecticide against
leaf-worms, May contends. From
five to seven pounds per acre
should be used in dusting, he said.
“Dusting for leaf-worms is re-
commended over spraying,” May
continued, “but if calcium arsen-
ate can not be obtained, then two
pounds of lead arsenate mixed
with 50 gallons of water can be
used as a spray for each acre.”
R. L. YORK HONORED

R. L York was honored on his
birthday last Sunday at the home

town with a dinner. Those at-
j tending were Mr. and Mrs. V. L.

MEN AND nations gain"or lose
by the quality of decisions they
make. Founders of this remark-
able republic made a wise de-
cision long ago, in favor of per-
sonal self-reliance and individual
achievement. » America is great
today because so many smart
people were left free to do as
much as they could, as well as
they knew how, and gain as much,
of a reward for, themselves as
they were able. ( J
^ People may orate about Ameri-
ca’s greatness coming from her
vast natural resources. The re-
sources exist all right but the
redskins had them before Colum-
bus came and didn't know the use
of a wheel. Some people boast of
this nation’s blueblood heritage.
It was good. Our forbears, in
large part, came front Europe.
That was probably the smartest
thing most of them ever did. ^
Greatness AMERICA’S econom-
ln Liberty ic system is what
made America great.
It is a system of liberty giving
every man the right to pick what
he wants and go after it hamnter-
and-tongs, get it if he can and
enjoy it to the extent of his capa-
city, so long as it does not tres-
pass the rights of somebody else.
It is a sprightly and dynamic
economy, quickly adjustable to
changing times and conditions.
^ Limitless opportunity and keen
competition have borne a rich
Harvest. Our farmers live better
than the peerage of some foreign
lands. Our laborers have more
than workers in other countries
ever have had at any time. Amer-

William R. Crump
Buried Tuesday
William R. Crump, (i7-year-old
farmer, was found dead in bed
early Sunday at the Jim llagood
home on Paris Star Route, where
he had been staying the past
week. W. L. Collins, justice of
the peace, who held an inquest,
returned a verdict of death due to
natural causes.
Mr. Crump, a native of Lamar
county, formerly lived at Biards-
tovvn. Funeral service was at 2
o’clock Tuesday afternoon at Par-
lation and 80% of the world’s)

America made more war mate-;
rials than all her allies and hen
foes put together. An American'
carpenter can buy more with his
pay for a day’s work than any
other carpenter anywhere — 2
times as much as a carpenter in
Germany or France. And the
same goes in all trades; the
butcher, the baker and the street-
car conductor. /

Freedom of opportunity fires'
everybody to try; thus men of
great genius come to light and
the whole nation benefits. Then
competition between men of spe-j
eial ability stimulates them to!
zealous effort hr developing prod- '
ucts of excellence at fair prices
to develop and hold profitable
markets. This enables America’s
middle class to enjoy luxuries un-,
known to run-of-mine, kings.
Mass production for volume'
sales demands fine and expensive
tools. Buying this machinery
calls for capital investment — ’
averaging, $6,000 per industrial
job in the United States. The
thing that made America great
was a decision to be free: Free
to work, free to think, free to
earn, free to save and free to in-
vest and make a profit. It is
called 'Free Private Enterprise
and it’s too valuable to lose.

Red River County
Last Saturday
Red River county citizens poll-
ed only 3763 votes on Saturday,

man with 638 for county commis-
sioner of Precinct 4.

ant governor to 1608 for House.
R. E. McDonald received 1860
votes to J. E. McDonald’s 1539 for
Commissioner of Agriculture
