That no mistake was made in lo-
cating the CCC camp in Denton is
indicated by the fact that the Den-
ton County Soil Conservation Asso-
ciation has the highest rating of
any in Texas, Arkansas and Loui-
siana. It is through such associa-
tions that the working agreements
are made for the CCC to carry out
the soil conserving program. In or-
der to receive the Federal assist-
ance a land owner must maintain
membership in a conservation asso-
ciation, through which he makes
his agreements with the govern-
ment. The Federal agency is not per-
mitted to do its work directly with
individuals.

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT PROBLEM
The-Texas liquor control board has issued instruc-
tions .to ..its investigators to stay out of dry territory,
especially in those districts where local officers haven’t
extended: their co-operation. This is one of the prac-
tical aspects of prohibition enforcement in Texas of
which many citizens know practically nothing.
Texas has as good a liquor law as any other State,
and while it works fairly well in the dry areas that
are really dry, those sections that are dry in name
only are . as wet as ever. As usual, the responsibility
for this condition goes back to the local citizens. The
State Liquor Control Board isn’t going to send its men
into territory where they aren’t wanted, for they
have plenty to do in controlling liquor sales in wet
areas.

The state board co-operates closely

ward this goal. The importance of
the re-election of the president is
emphasized in order that this pro-

THIS FALL
NEW YORK, August 31.—Political headquarters in
national campaigns are queer hodgepodges of extreme
optimism, sporadic pessimism, nerves, jealousies,
strokes, of genius, prima donnas, sprinters racing in
circles, overworked competent employes assisted by
many folk who “had to be taken care of,” rumors, and
almost uncanny absences of co-ordination.
The Democrats have their national headquarters
in New York City. Republicans have theirs in Chi-
cago, and also an important eastern headquarters in
New York under Congressman Joseph W. Martin,
Jr., of Massachusetts with as much office space as
the Democrats have.
Everyone in the metropolis gets excited over grape-
vine reports from Chicago that G. O. P. national
offices are in bad shape, with jealousy and bickering
rife.
But the Democratic general staff seems at least
, equally far from efficiency. Personalities enter in
when it appears sometimes difficult to get good men
to work there because of a belief that when you work
under Jim Farley you tend to become a sort of glori-
fied office boy, with little or no authority.

One rumor, accepted in both, camps, is that tab-
ulation of the first 50,000 votes in the Literary Di-
gest’s presidential poll will show Landon leading
Roosevelt by a much more substantial majority than
in any other sizable poll thus far.
The Democrats rely heavily upon the theory that
none of the polls accurately covers a certain group of
voters in the very low income groups, which should
be expected to vote heavily for the New Deal.
Polls have transformed political campaign thinking.
They are mentioned, usually “ off the record,” at
practically every press conference held by Martin
or Farley.
They are watched closely by Emil Hurja, assistant
to Farley, who keeps a private poll for the Demo-
cratic committee.
This year’s Hurja poll is highly confidential,- but
it is-reported that it now gives Roosevelt a slight edge.
' . . . :’. * * *
Watch out for a new organization which will pro-
fess to have sprung up spontaneously and which will
announce it has been formed to defend the federal
deposit guarantee system.
This- will simply be part of a new Democratic effort
to meet the “fear campaign” of the Republicans
(taxes, preservation of the Constitution, personal lib-
erties, and so on) with another “fear campaign.”
It seems that in 1933 Landon denounced ,the de-
posit guarantee proposal before the American Bank-
ers’ Association as “a greater blow to the ultimate
welfare of the American people than the wildest in-
flation of the currency could possibly be.” He wired
Senator Capper, urging him to fight the measure.
So there will be a Democratic effort to build up a
bogey to the effect that Landon would seek abolition
of the FDIC and presumably cause a great national
run on the banks in so' doing.

- In Spain’s civil war the rightists are the rebels, the
loyalists are the leftists, the government is liberal
andthe fascist rebels are conservatives. Our Novem-
ber-voting machine is simplicity itself by compari-
son.—South Bend Tribune.
Is Mr. Lemke advocating an in-
come of $500,000 for every family?
Such a proposal would be little
more ridiculous than some of the
pension plans actually being push-
ed in this country. It’s a strange
freak of human nature that people
never seem to be willing to let well
enough alone. Just at this time when
old age assistance and other gov-
ernmental benefits are being gen-
erally adopted over the nation,
bringing relief to hundreds of
thousands in need and at a time
when it has been a struggle for a
majority of the people to exist, much
less live in luxury, radical move-
ments are started which make a
jejke out of governmental assist-
ance by proposing such unreason-
able incomes as to be altogether im-
practicable. If all the efforts which
has been put forth in behalf of lav-
ish pensions, altogether beyond rea-
son, both, in the ability of the gov-
ernment to pay and in the need of
the proposed recipients, had been
devoted to backing reasonable ap-
plication of the Federal social se-
curity program something worth
while could have been accomplish-
ed. The first and greatest need of
the American people in the appli-
cation of social security legislation
is the ability to apply, reason to the
project, rather than fantastic theo-
ries that can only tend to delay the
encompassing of a feasible assist-
ance program.

While the Denton County asso-
ciation has made a remarkable
showing in the matter of co-opera-
tion, there are still quite a number
of farms on which the agreements
have not been carried out, it is
stated. Before the CCC surveys and
plats a farm for terraces and other
soil-saving projects, the owner must
agree to carry out the recommen-
dations of the experts who outline
the needs of the farm. Many farm-
ers in this county have co-operated
readily and fully with the project,
but in some instances land own-
ers have delayed carrying out the
plans, which has held up the work
to some extent. Perhaps
have such an opportunity
theirs now to terrace and
their soil; it behooves them, there-
fore, to take full advantage of the
benefits offered by the
here of the CCC camp.

In spite of the great natural re-
souces of Texas, research and sur-

vision of Major E. A. Wood, direc-
tor of the State Planning Board,
show that the resources are only
one-third develpoed. The director
is endeavoring to interest both Tex-
as and. outside capitalists to invest
and develop payrolls, markets and
increase purchasing power for all.
Untold mineral wealth within the
borders of Texas have never been

two leading industries, one already recovered from
the depression and the other greatly in need of re-

returned prosperity.
Incidentally this expenditure will probably take
up any tendency of general business activity to sag, as
it usually does, in midsummer. We may see the un-
usual spectacle of business going ahead, and holding
its own or even gaining, right through a hotly con-
tested. political campaign—something unusual.—Cor-

TREATMENT OF ECZEMA
The treatment of eczema is ve'ry
much of an art, an art in which a
large and involved set of principles
must be discriminately applied to
the individual case.
The numbers of salves,
creams and pastes which are pre-
scribed for eczema are truly legion.
What, therefore,
useful in dealing with one case of
eczema under a given condition, may
be the very worst medicament to
apply to another.
The physician treating a case of
eczema must make a thoroughgoing
study of the patient and take into
consideration the constitution of
the sufferer, his occupation, his
diet, his personal hygiene and the
other ailments he may be suffering.
Even then, treatment will be pre-
scribed and tried out with caution,
the reaction of the patient’s skin
will be watched, and if it is unde-
sirable, treatment will be changed.
Despite the complexity of the
treatment of eczema, there are cer-
tain guiding principles which can
be set down for the benefit of the
patient who, though usually not
able to treat himself for his eczema,
may at least avoid, the possibility of
aggravating his condition.
Thus, to begin with, the patient
can help determine what “contacts”
aggravate his eczema. Such contacts
may be soap, washing powder, pol-
ishing material, cloths of various
kinds or oils. If the patient finds
his skin condition is aggravated, af-
ter contact with any substance, he
should report this to his physician
and of course should avoid further
handling of these substances.
Eczema has a common cycle in
which the condition at first becomes
acute, then turns recessive, and fi-
nally subsides. The acute state is
when small or large blisters form
and when the skin is red
“weepy.” Subsequently the
tends to dry out a bit and scales
and crusts are formed. Still later
the involved skin may return to the
semblance of normal condition.
In the acute stage care should be
taken not to irritate the skin fur-
ther. The parts affected should be
bathed sparingly and gently, and a
bland soap (Castile) should be used.
Soft waters and those rendered
slightly alkaline by the addition of
sodium bicarbonate or borax are
preferable. Only such salves or lo-
tions should be applied as are pre-
scribed by the physician. Salves of
unknown composition or those gen-
erally recommended “for skin con-
ditions” may prove to be too irri-
tating and provocative.
The same precautions should be
exercised during the recessive stage
of eczema.

CURLS /
Betsy was undeniably an attrac-
tive child. A round face with two
merry blue eyes looked out from be-
tween two long- braids. She had in-
dividuality and style, and no one
failed to notice her.
But Betsy wanted to look very
different. She longed to wear curls
and to look romantic, and wove end-
less tales in which she always had
typhoid, and after a long and ling-
ering illness recovered with tight
curls all over her head.
In this day of permanent waves,
there is no real reason for a long-
ing like Betsy’s to go unsatisfied.
Probably she does look better in
straight hair, and her parents are
quite right in preferring the quaint
little piece that she is to the fluffy
person that she wants to be. But
a child’s looks at eight and ten are
not as important as they are later
on, and it is unkind to make her
conform to adult standards.
To grown people, Betsy’s cross
seems a very little one to bear. But
to the child it X. very heavy. Per-
haps if she has one wave she will
be satisfied never to have another.
A birthday or Christmas present of
a permanent probably will make her
the happiest child in the world.
How one does one’s hair is a very
personal question and should as far
as possible be left to the individual.
One’s clothes depend on the length
of the family purse, and parents
have a right to the final decision,
since they must foot the bill. But
after one has passed babyhood one
should be permitted choice in the
matter of hair dressing. Whether
one wants it short or long, straight
or curly, is a matter of personal
preference like one’s thoughts and
opinions. Hair is part of the child
and belongs strictly to him.
Parents can insist on its being
kept clean and tidy, just as they
insist on clean hands and face. For
the rest, it is a good plan to let the
child experiment.
There may be just as many golden opportunities
new as there were in olden times, but the trouble is
very few people seize them. They are too busy trying
to get free passes into the amusement centers.—

DENTON, TEXAS, AUGUST 31, 1936
GRASS FIRES ALONG HIGHWAYS
Motorists in this part of Texas often come across
long strips of highway right-of-way which have been
burned back to the fence line, and sometimes out
into' the ' fields. About three-fourths of these acci-
dental fires along the roads were caused by care-
lessly thrown cigaret stubs, according to Harry Hines,
chairman of the State Highway Commission, who
urges.th^t Texas motorists extinguish cigarets before
throwing.‘ them, from cars.
Texas has made good progress in highway beauti-
fication, with the highway department, counties and
various civic groups co-operating to plant trees,
shrubbery and grass along the major highways. But
a few fires along the right-of-way will destroy per-
manently much of the shrubs and young trees that
have been planted, and leave the job to be done all
over,again. Thoughtful motorists should drop burn-
ing cigarets into an ash receptacle in the car, or at
least should refrain from the habit of thumping a
cigaret 10 or 15 feet into the grass along the side of
the road.

TEXAS GETS THE SHORT BALLOT
For the first time in history, Texas voters will, get
to sorateh the names of presidential and vice-presi-
dential -candidates in the November election. Here-
tofore, Texans have been confronted by a formidable
list of ejectors and the party presidential nominees
didn’t appear on the ballot.
Four years ago Texans almost got to vote for a
president directly, but a last-minute interpretation
of the law went against this procedure, although it
was plainly the intent of the Legislature that the
cumbersome and confusing custom of voting for elec-
tors be eliminated.

HELPING PUDDLE MUDDLERS
Willy Nilly had painted his house.
The little man was indeed proud
and pleased.
“Soon, now,” he told himself, “I’ll
be able to attend to my pointed,
sticking-out ears.” But as he was
thinking this, Mrs. Quacko waddled
up from the pond.
“Willy Nilly,” she began, “I have
a little lost chicken.”
“What did you say you had?”
“A little lost chicken,” Mrs.
Quacko repeated. “I heard him cry-
ing in the woods and we went and
rescued him and bandaged his feet
which were burning from a long,
hot walk, and I kept him under my
wing all night.”
Mrs. Quacko drew a long breath.
“I shouldn’t have tried to tell it all
to you at once,” she smiled. And
then she told Willy Nilly more slow-
ly and clearly just what had hap-
pened.
“We’ll certainly have to find the
barnyard where he belongs,” agreed
Willy Nilly. “Christopher, Christo-
pher Columbus Crow!” he called.
There was no cawing answer.
“I hope that crow isn’t in a corn
field,” sighed Willy Nilly. And he
called again. “I thought he was
here only a short time ago, but of
course I was almost too busy to no-
tice.”
The other Puddle Muddlers came
at the sound of Willy Nilly’s voice.
They heard what had happened.
“I’ll discover the chicken’s home,”
crowed Top Notch, the rooster. “I’m
well known around the barnyards.”
But first they all went to see the
chicken, and so pleased was he with
the Puddle Muddlers that he tried
to help them by telling all about his
barnyard and how the hens and
chickens, pigs and turkeys looked,
and then he made one remark that
told Top Notch all he wanted to
know.
