(Farm and Ranch)
Not long ago a city dweller who oc-
'upied an apartment overlooking a
l>eautiful park accepted the oppor-
tunity to make an automobile drive
hrough the country for a distance of
>everal thousand miles. On this drive
he saw some fine, comfortable farm
homes. He also observed tenant
homes which were neither attractive
nor comfortably. Upon hjs return
home, he commented rather fully up-
on the terrible living conditions he
found in the country.
His comments call to mind that we
have read several magazine articles
which were entirely devoted to pre-
senting the worst features of the con-
ditions in which Southern cotton farm-
ers, including negroes, live. Of course
these, articles were not flattering to
the South, and we wish that such con-
ditions did not exist." Nevertheless,
we wonder if these writers ever vis-
ited the slum districts of their own
cities where multiplied thousands live

ance. Ticket* to the exposition

granted to all members of the press
The Centennial officials had a spe-
cial luncheon at noon for the press-
men Saturday, and a barbecue that
evening. Mr. Pharr states that he
would have seen everything there was
to see if he had just had enough time.
He further states that the Centennial

optimistic ever thought It would be.
Jt is interesting to know that there

Savannah, Ga., June 15.—All Brick-
mason John Harrison Warrick needs
to get a soldie/^e- bonus is a set of
fingerprints..
He went to war when he was young
and was fingerprinted. When he
came back he learned to be a brick
masoiuand his fingerprints wore off.
It didn’t bother him until he got a
letter notifying him he was eligible
for a bonus.
“Be sure to put your fingerprints
on the application,” the letter said.
Warrick marched into county po-
lice headquarters to get fingerprint-
ed. He dabbed his fingers in ink and
then on paper. The print was a black
smudge.
“Go back home,” the police advised.
“Grease your, fingers daily and wear
gloves when you work."
Warrick followed instructions 4or
two weeks and tried again.
“Still not legible,” said the police,
but a ghost of loops and ewirls is
beginning to appear. Warrick will
keep trying.
Division" Engineer D. E. IL Manni-
gault, of the state highway depart-
ment, and G. O. Rogers, of the main-
tenance department, were in Lam-
pasas looking over the work being
done on Highways 53 and 66. J. R.
Key was in conference with these gen-
telemen on a project to pave Grand
Avenue from curb to curb. The high-
way department can only pave a strip
20 feet wide on this street, That
leaves a strip of 20 feet on each side
that is unpaved. The highway de-
partment has consented to loan T.am-
pasas their equipment if the city de-
cides to complete the paving on Giand
Avenue. It is possible that a plan
could be worked out Whereby the city
and the property owners on Grand
Avenue could pave this thoroughfare.

Jacksonville, Fla., June 15.—Three
Coast Guard fliers on storm patrol
duty were killed Monday in n blus-
tery tropical disturbance which iso-
lated several South Florida communi-
ties by floods. —
The Coast Guardsmen, Lieut. Chas:
Martin Perrott, pilot, Radioman Wal-
ter Q. Morris and Mechanic William
D. Eubanks, died when their plane
plunged into Tampa Bay near St.
Petersburg.
The storm, of slight intensity, pass-
ed from west to east across the ex-
treme southern tip of the peninsula
and went out over the Atlantic Ocean.
The season’s first disturbance
brought deluges, forcing streams out
of their banks, flooding highways and
streets of lower West Coast towns.
No wind damage was reported.
Late in the day the Weather Bu-
reau ordered down remajning storm
warnings in the State. The advisory
said the disturbance had continued to
move east southeast, with the central
apparently about 75 to 100 miles east
southeast of Miami, attended by a
considerable area of squally weather.
The advisory said the future course
was uncertain, but probably east or
northeast. Caution was advised for
smaller vessels off the southeast
Florida coast and over the North Ba-
hama Islands.
An acute situation arose at Bonita
Springs, twenty miles »outh_of Fort
Myers, when the Imperial River rose
and backed water from one to ten
feet deep over the streets. Four hun-

of the finny tribe. But the remarks:
that are to follow will be directed to-
sward trying to bring fish out of n
deep or obscure place. To begin with
there are a great many different
kinds of fishing. We might say that
one big divbion in the art of fishing
is salt water fishing; and as this
writer has never had any experience
in that line we will write finis on
that division. Another large division

So we will try and talk' about fishing
that has, is, and will be done locally.
Pardon me, but we will ha<e to make
a few more divisions for our local
discussion. Locally fish can be tak-
en with a sein, hook and line using
live bait, hook aqd line using oait
other than live, and by using artifi-
cial bait. And of course when we
talk about live bait we have minnows
frogs, grasshoppers, crickets, mice
and lizzards. And bait other than

live we naturally think of worms,
liver, soap and what have you. (t
know that we did not go into a dis-
cussion of taking fish with a sein,
but" as we are opposed to that meth-
od of fishing we will skip it.) Now,
there is another large field of fishing
that* involves both live bait, ’and bait
• that is not alive—and that is trotline
hshing and throwline fishing. Per-
sonally we prefer throwfiine fishing
for the simple reason that! it does not
5 involve as much work as trotline fish-
ing. We have been told that trotline
fishing got its name from the fact
that you had to trot your legs off to
properly perform the act. Now we
have gotten down to a discussion of
fishing with artificial bait, and, as
badly as I hate to admit the fact this
division must be sub-divided. Briefly
the divisions are: p plugs, shimmie
wigglers and flies. We might as well
tell you that a further sub-division- -onder conditions that would , hardly
occurs at this time for there are two
great kinds of fly fishing, namely:
dry fly fishing and wet fly fishing.
We have now reached the point where
this writer is very interested. We
had rather take one fair fish on fly
tackle than catch two ten pounders
with a trot or throw line. Most fly
rods are some nine to ten feet long,
and the majority of them weigh un-
der seven ounces. There is only one
hook in the hires, and we believe that
it is a matter of skill to land a-fair
fish on such tackle. I-et us briefly
describe a typical battle with a bass
in one of our local streams, and then
we will oc tnrough with thjs mighty
discussion. It is just light enough
to definitely distinguish objects at
some fifty yards._Your tackle is all
in order, and you have decided to use
a white bucktail on a single No. 2

Hollywood, Calif., June 15.—Mme.
Ernestine Schumann-Heink celebrated
her seventy-fifth birthday with tears
of joy Monday, not so ipuch for her-
self, but because “My boys are get-
ting their money today.” t.
She took it as a personal compli-
ment that the Federal government
should select her birthday to deliver
the bonus to World War veteran*.
For nearly twenty years the soldiers
have been as close to her hear; as
her own children. Her own money
an<l her once-golden voice both were
given lavishly to help “my beloved
soldier boys.”
Her seventy-fifth anniversary will
be one to remember, she said.
“I’ve had so many,” she laughed.
“So very many. But just now, d it
seems my life is just beginning.”
It thrilled her to know that thou-
sands of her adopted children wore
happy today, to have a small army of
7 children and grandchiNFen at her
home and to realize that she is ju«t
embarking on a new career in the
movies.
With the energy of a woman half
her age, she held open Jnouse and
Hollywood’s movie colon^tfiok brief
moments to stop at her home and
wish h.er well. She also was heard
on a broadcasting program celebrat-
ing her birthday.
But what she said she enjoyed most

knowledge of how these people live-
three or four families crowded to-
gether in a space scarcely large
enough for one family of average

Of course they know these things
exist. They have existed so long that
they attract no attention from more
fortunate citizens. Such conditiors
are expected to be. But why the

ants may grow a garden and produce
food for themselves if they have that
much ambition ?■
We would be happy if every- coun-
try dweller could live in a cominodi-
bus home equipped with all the neces-
sary comforts;
shacks were located off the high-1
ways and out of sight of travelers.
Certainly we take no pride in the ex-
igence of such conditions—not enough,
at least, to cause us to- conduct
sight-seeing buses to our country
slum districts, which, by the way. is
practiced,in many of our largp and
wealthy cities throughout the coun-
try. . —
It is our earnest hope that agricul-
ture will become ■ prosperous enough June 25,! 1936. ,!
