The meeting, a surprise move
on the part of Congressman Kle-

ties in the district not lep es- nU
ed were Goliad and Gon/uhs.
“There is no man better qua-
lified for the job of President.’’
Kleberg said. “Garner is qua-
lified because he has served as
jurge, a congressman, speaker of
the house and vice president. His
record is one of learned ability
and application.’’

A MATTER that should iv-
ceive the earnest consi-
deration of every land ownei'
who is a resident of DeWitt
or Lavaca county, is themat-
' ter of establishing a soil con-
servation district in these
two counties. This is entirely
up to the resident land own-
ers and when the time comes
to vote on this matter they
should not overlook their
opportunity to get the dist-
rict established. It is only in
this way that this section
can get the full benefit of
the CUC Camp that is now
established here and which
will work with the land own-
ers here if the district is es-
tablished. It appears how-
ever, that some educational
work will have to be done
along this line as the pro-
. gram is not thoroughly un-
derstood by many land own-
ers.
