WASHINGTON.—The young men
of the Civilian Conservation Corps
have turned out to be a big bunch of

Robert Fechner, director, reported
that the CCC had built 21,907

it took to the forests and fields a

Temperance, not teetotalism, is the
motto of Captain Roiney Ridley, 89
year old North Carolina mountain-
eer, according to a news dispatch
which-quotes him thus: “It is true
that in my youth I would drink a bit,
but for the last 15 years I have been-,
tapering down until now I notice that
if I drink over a pint of whisky at
one time it has a tendency to go to
my haed.”
the college as a junior college giving
two years of collegiate work. He re-
lies, naturally, on Sherman chiefly
because of the social and cultural in-
fluences of Kidd-Key, that would be
greatly missed, should the college
have to close its doors.
The small college in the United
States, whether denominational or in-
dependent, has been hard hit by the
present protracted depression. Many
of them have had to cease work from
lack of funds. Undoubtedly some of
these were not needed and will not
be missed. Yet when a college has an
enviable record of many years and
has shed its cultural influence far
and wide in a community,' it is . a
great blunder on the part of that
community to allow to die so valuable
a part of its social and intellectual
life. Sherman will do well to consid-
er most carefully whether its own
cultural life does not demand the
hearty financial support of Kidd-Key.

The Methodist Episcopal Church,

a strong determination to “make the

President Edwin Kidd proposes

faculty but with an enlarged social
program. He appeals to the alumni
and to the citizens of Texas and of

This provides hard competition for
the East Texan to meet, no matter
how well he handles his land.
But there is a different story to
tell when 'it comes to economical
livestock production. West Texasohas
rich grass but so little of it that 10
to 15 acres is required to carry a full
grown cow. Compare this with im-
proved East Texas pastures, which
will carry from one to three head per
acre, and it is evident that the East
Texas cattle raiser can pasture more
than 10 times as many cattle per sec-
tion than is possible in the West.
In the long years ago when this
state was first settled, East Texas
was probably better for farming
while West Texas was the natural
grazing land. At present, however, it
would seem that East Texas should
by all means devote itself to general
farming with livestock having a
prominent place; while, if there is

VICTIMS
As time goes on, I become more
and more impressed with the dev-
astating effects on the health of the
people by this so-called “depression.”
To be candid, I have never witnessed
anything like it. Literally thousands
of mature men and women are break-
ing down in their nervous systems—
the break-down striking at the very
foundation of the physical structure,
sweeping the victims from the field
of combat—the zone of making a
living. Never, in my existence have I
seen anything more devastating.
I have urged my patients, “don’t
worry;” there is nothing worth so
much to the individual as his LIFE.
And, life can be made little else than
constant torture—by worry! Yes,
dear reader, we family doctors giv-
ing our life-energies to our patients
—we advise people not to worry—
only to catch ourselves doing the very
same thing.

According to a recent press bulle-
tin of the Texas Experiment Station,
East Texas would seem to be the
place to grow livestock while the all-
cotton farmer should by all means
hie out to West Texas or the South
Texas Blacklands.
Here are the reasons: In East Tex-
as, with single row culture, a farmer
is good if he produces and harvests
10 to 20 bales of cotton. He can
plant or cultivate from 6 to 7 % acres
a day and needs 50 to 100 days to
pick 10 to 20 bales. But the West
Texan with his tractor-drawn four-
row planters and cultivators can
plant 35 acres a day and cultivate an
average of 43 acres a day. With a
one-row stripper he can harvest five
bales in 12 hours. This
is entirely practicable for
with a half section to prepare the
land in some two weeks by listing
with a four-row lister, plant with a
four-row planter of single seed cell
type in less than 10 days, and culti-

State Representative Olan R. Van
Zandt is a native of Grayson County,
having been born on a farm near
Tioga forty-four years ago. Blinded
by two severe accidents at the age of
eleven, Mr. V^n Zandt has not been
undaunted by these calamities. He
has a splendid education, having
graduated from the law department
of the University of Texas with high
honors. For eighteen years he has
been engaged in the general practice
of law with a modest success. He is
married and has four children.
The legislative record fo Olan R.
Van Zandt is not only to be found in
the permanent records of the legis-
lature but in almost every newspa-
per in Texas. He has taken an ac-
tive and aggressive part in legisla-
tion and has been identified with al-
most every progressive movement
for efficiency and economy in gov-
ernment. He believes in equal op-
portunities to all and special privi-
leges to none and holds firmly to the
belief that “A public office is a pub-
lic, trust,” and his actions and con-
duct in private and public life are in-
spirations of faith and loyalty to du-
ty. His intimate knowledge of state
government and its vexing problems
makes his opinion respected by his
colleagues, and he holds membership
on most of the important commit-
tees of the House.
Mr. Van Zandt is modest and un-
assuming, but aggressive in his opin-
ions and actions. He cares for no
one’s support on account of his handi-
cap and mere sympathy for his con-
dition, should not be the procuring
cause of support. He bases his claim
for support purely on the past ac-
complishments and his abilities to
serve the people in spite of his handi-
cap, and he is sincerely appreciative
of the support and confidence here-
tofore expressed in him at the polls
and the voters of the Ninth Senato-
rial District may rest assured that in
Mr. Van Zandt, they have a man of
honor, integrity and sincerity of pur-
pose.

ON SATURDAY, MAY 12
LOCATED FIRST DOOR WEST OF DEVENPORT’S VARIETY STORE
CLEVELAND,;—Motorists hoarded
gasoline in cans, jars, barrels and
tubs Tuesday as a drouth of motor
fuel again descended upon the city.
The closing of 500 filling stations
operated by independent dealers bot-
tled up the gasoline supply for the
second time since 2,000 union at-
tendants struck three weeks ago
against major oil companies.
At midnight Monday the independ-
ents, who have been serving the
public except for a brief interlude
while union gasoline truck drivers
joined the strike, finished their
largest day’s business in years and
locked their pumps.
The organized independents had
signed an agreement with the strik-
ing union attendants to make this
move as “the best possible way to get
the strike over quickly.”

DALLAS. — Governor Miriam A.
Ferguson must pay into the registry
of the One Hundred and Sixteenth
District Court here $613 within 10
days and must pay a like amount by
Oct. 1 for the benefit of the Dallas
Joint Stock Land Bank which holds
her $36,000 note on her Bell County
farm.
Such was the order of Judge New-
man Phillips, sitting for Judge Rob-
ert B. Allen, when he granted Mrs.
Ferguson and her husband, James E.
Ferguson, the continuance they
sought under the moratorium law
passed by the Legislature after the
land bank filed foreclosure suit on
the Ferguson farm.
In fixing the rental value of the
land at $1,226 for 1934, Judge Phil-
lips accepted the figure set by the
former Governor while he testified
yesterday. Ferguson said rentals on
such land ranged from $2 to $4 an
acre and had offered to pay $2. C. C.
Renfro, attorney for the land bank,
had asked $4.
The rentals would be applied
against interest due the land bank on
the note. Renfro testified the Fer-
gusons had been in default on inter-
est and maturities since 193-1 and
since the bank is in liquidation under
congressional action, it was necessary
to collect on the note.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May
While few of us can be with
Mothers on that day, most of those
who have living mothers have no
doubt already sent her some word of
love and appreciation. We celebrate
Mother’s Day in this country on the
second Sunday in May each year be-
cause in 1914 Congress passed a joint
resolution providing that the Presi-
dent should designate, by annual
proclamation, that Sunday as Moth-
er’s Day. But this tribute to mother-
hood goes back to the England of the
Middle Ages when once a year ar-
mored knights and lowly peasants
celebrated “Mothering Sunday.” On
that day everyone who could went to
see his or her mother and took along
some little present.
This year the Post Office Depart-
ment, for the first time in history,
gave official recognition to the day
by issuing 200,000,000 commemora-
tive postage stamps of a special de-
sign and bearing reproductions of
James Abbot M. Whistler’s greatest
work which he called “Arrangement
in Black and Gray; the Artist’s Moth-
er.” The picture shows the elderly
lady in lace cap and dark dress in
contemplative mood. The commemo-
rative stamps are twice the size of
ordinary stamp issues in order to
have a space large enough to portray
the reverence and beauty that the
artist gave his mother’.

A director of RFC says Texas was
never deep in depression. And we’ve
been wearing old clothes, driving an
old car, and wondering where the
money was coming from to pay oui’
bills all these months just like we
were in the center of the depression.
Since the RFC director quoted lives
in Kansas and we live in Texas, we
rise to say that he is crazy with the
heat, or sumpin’.

surface sensations
may be noticed; coldness o£ the
hands and feet is common. I have ob-
served “nervous chills,” the sort not
followed by noticeable fever. The pa-
tient himself remarks that “he can’t
stand anything any more.” Some
imagine that they have influenza, but
the absence of cough and marked
nasal symptoms prove no infection.
There may be loss of appetite, lan-
guor, and above all, marked discour-
agement with daily affairs; the feel-

that the wood has had sufficient
