In the news columns of this issue is the announcement that Mr.
Massey of Fearland, who has served the people of this precinct for
two years an County Commissioner, will not be a candidate for re-
flection in :he coming election in May, and as the matter now
stands the people will have to select a new man tor the job. Mr.
Massey states that in order to give the people efficient service in the
position it his been necessary for him to neglect his personal busi
ness, as the salary as County Commissioner is not sufficient to war-
rant any man giving up all other sources of income. Mr. Massey,
who has for several years been a successful farmer and cattle man,
is held in hijh esteem by the people of this precinct and it is con-
ceded by many that he has made one of the strongest county com-
missioners that has ever served. Although it is possible that hf has
made some mistakes, it is recognized that he has at all times been
alert and looked after the best interests of the people, and his ac-
tions in standing pat on the tax assessments of the property in the
West Columbia oil fields is still fresh in the minds of the people,
his good business judgment getting for the county several million
more in taxe > than ordinarily would have been secured. When such
men as Mr. Massey serve the people well it is a disaster when their
services can not be continued on account of insufficient pay and this
is a matter that is worthy of consideration by the people, for they
cannot expect to get efficiency for nothing.

The con ing city election in Alvin is of more importance than
some of the voters might think, and we take this opportunity of
calling their ittention to it so that at some later date there can not
ibe any howl and pleadings of not knowing. It will be remembred
that the city countil several months ago passed a stock law, which
went into effect on the first of January, and ir lieu of this law many
of the citizens have started the beautifying of their home surround-
ings by tearing down their fences and making nice 'awns and plant-
ing hedge and schrubbery. It is well known that the election which
was held in October, the results of which showed that the larger
number of voters were in favor of a stock law, was only held that
the results m ght be a guide for the action of the city council, there-
fore, the life of the stock law is in the hands of the city council, and
at any time the city council is made up of men who do not favor the
stock law the present ordinance can be repealed and the stock will
again have free range over the citv streets. IF THE STOCK LAMr
' ORDINANCE IS TO LIVE THOSE WHO ARE IN FAVOR/OF
IT WILL H WE TO WATCH THEIR VOTES IN THE/COM-
1NG ELECTION AND SEE THAT MEN ELECTEDTHE
-COUNCIL /.RE ALSO STAUNCH SUPF'ORTEfij^ OF THE
LAW. OTHERWISE THE ORDINANCE WIfJ<BE REPE \l -
ED, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT THE C<T\ HAS TAKEN
A STEP PACKWARD. JT
In order to be fair with the wri-
ter of last week's communication
and refrain from use of person-1
alities we will refer to him as l
“ Booster.” as it is an old saying |
that every knock is a boost and i
he is the only one of our citizens
that predicts failure for our park'
as far as can be learned.
When this exchange of ideas of
tree planting was .started Critic
thought it was to be a friedly ar-
gument as to the causes of success
or failure of the former tree plant-
ing.but it would seem that Boost-
er, not having any good argument
to offer has daunched a lot of ridi- I
cule at the men and women who
are trying to do something for;
their town and instead of stick- j
ing to the original topic, tree :
planting, has gone and mixed up
a lot of bull frogs, Daniel Web-
ster and Bailey’s Encyclopaedias
and out of the mixture erected a
whistle factory.
Booster says that trees should
be planted in the fall after the
first cold spell. Our first cold
spell was in February, about the
time our trees were set out. so we
are all O. K. on that point.
In one letter he says that a very
small per cent of our trees will
live and those that do live will
only be dwarfs and then
turns around and says we have
planted our trees much to close |
together. Some argument, if mil-
lions of trees have been set out
here in the past 35 years with
only 2 per cent loss, we car cer-
tainly hope to grow a few with
the care and attention that will be
given them. The American Le-
gion boys have already set out a
lot of beautiful live oaks on their
end of the park and we are all
proud of the progress made in the
short length of time we have been
at work. /

You’ll agree that you never ate such delicious,
such satisfying cereal as Kellogg’s Com Flakes!
Those big, sunny-brown “sweet-hearts-of-the-
corn” are so fascinating in flavor and so crispy
and crunchy that you don’t wonder the chil-
dren are thrilled to eat them!
Compare Kellogg’s with imitations to realize
their quality, their appetizing appeal, their
wonder-crispness! Kellogg’s are never tough
or leatherj’ or hard to eat 1 Each heaping spoon-
ful of Kellogg’s is even more joyous and satis-
fying than the last!
Be sure that you get Kellogg’s—the delicious
Corn Flakes in the RED and GREEN package
that bears the signature of W. K. Kellogg,
originator of Toasted Corn Flakes! NONE
ARE GENUINE WITHOUT IT!
