Stalking trails, over rough

Miller is concerned.
The Ranger patrols his ter-
ritory daily from the’ air, and
subsequently, cattle theft and
ranch raids are becoming less
numerous.
Ranchmen of the Big Bend
country have suffered severe
losses during past years from
outlaw invasions, many of them
receiving death threats for in-
terference. State Rangers have
been stationed at strategic
points throughout the region in
an effort to stem the crime.
Because of its nearness to the
Mexican border and the spar-
sely settled section, difficulty
is experienced in tracking and
capturing the thieves. Miller
thinks his airplane is the logi-
cal solution to the problem.
He is the only flying Rang-

CAT DIVES INTO

Providence, R. I., Jan. 17
(UP)—It’s not strange for a
bird to catch fish, or for a cat
to catch birds, but it’s a. big un-
usual for a cat to dive into the
ocean to catch fish.
Such a cat has Captain
Adolf H. Aronson, keeper of!
Pomham Light.
The cat, called Tommy, ac-
quired the fishing habit from
Captain Arsonson’s children.
Perched motionless on a
rock, Tommy awaits the ap-
proach of a fish, then dives,
head first, into the sea, seizingf
the prey with mouth and claws.
Tommy invariably hides the
fish under a lilac bush on the
island unti lhe has enough for

importance of flavor in the

commonplace dishes. Not all home-
makers, however, are aware of the
lengths to which science has gone

times a large variety of delightful
flavors in a form that would at once
be practical, and economical.
Today there are more than fifty
pure flavoring extracts available to
the housewife who would relieve
the monotony cf a limited diet or
add a new tang to an old dish. Such
flavors as strawberry, chocolate,
pineapple, lemon, rose, and winter-
green add a new zest to ices, frap-
pes, dr other light desserts. Whole-

Dan Moody is not the greatest Governor Texas ever had,
but if you run back over the list of Governors he. stands high.
Consider them—Mrs. Ferguson, Neff, Hobby, Ferguson, Col-
quitt, Campbell, Lanham, Sayers—you go clear back to Culber-
son before you find one whose fame has not lessened with the
years- Even the fame of Culberson, as we remember him now,
is that of Attorney General at Austin and of Senator at Wash-
ington. Jim Hogg’s is the last big gubernatorial administra-
tion until we come down to Moody’s. How big is his?
Offhand, that can not be answered. But of two things
we can judge: Of courage and of honesty in the chair that
Moody leaves, no man has shown more than he. Here lies his
strength and his claim to renown. Here also is his weakness
and the explanation of failures.
In overthrowing Fergusonism and all its works Dan Moody
was the lion of the people, utterly fearless and utterly splendid.
Against graft and mismanagement of public funds, he has been
a scourge, pitiless and incorruptible- In the public trust of ap-
pointive power he has been conscientious, fortunate in obtain-
ing big men for big resposibilities—and blind to the trading
power of patronage.
On the administrative side Governor Moody was admit-
tedly a success. On the legislative side his service was in his
vetoes. Like Cleveland, he goes out of power with few enact-
ments to his credit- If he had traded vetoes for votes and played
the politician as Roosevelt did, or ridden passions and driven
prejadices as Jackson did, he might have come off with more
in his bag of statutory reform.
As a matter of fact, the Legislature reached the nadir of
its effectiveness within the last five or ten years, probably. An
organization built on conditions or reconstruction days broke
down under modern demands. The amendment which in-
creases its pay and alters the conditions of its sessions, in line
with the seriousness of these demands, came too late to save
the Moody legislative program- But the very failure of that
program made more manifest the necessity of a better Legisla-
ture better able to do its best.
That Dan Moody goes out of office a poor man financially
is due to the fact that he deferred the building of his own for-
tune for a decade of service in underpaid posts. But it is the
best of evidence that net a penny of public money, out of the
million^ that ebb and flow through the Treasury, even stuck to
his fingers. Texas is short of memory, as democracies ever
are, but she is not apt to forget that.—Semi-Weekly Farm
News.
All realize the immensity of
the need faced by the stricken sections, and, once the figures
are before the American people, its great heart will bring it
to the rescue as always.
How wide is the need, DeWitt Smith makes clear in the
current issue of the Red Cross Courrier- Let comparative
figures tell the story.
The largest previous disaster handled by the Red Cross
was the Mississippi Valley flood of 1927—affecting 170 coun-
ties in the flooded territory of seven States and requiring as-
sistance for 120,732 families.
Today Director DeWitt estimates, on the basis of coun-
ties to which reduced freight rates are extended on certification
of the Department of Agriculture, that one-third of the United
States is involved—more than a thousand counties in twenty-
one States. Even guess halts short of figuring how many fam-
ilies in the 17,000,000 rural population of these sections will
require help.
It is possible that the Red Cross may not be able to stop
with its $10,000,000 call.—Semi-Weekly Farm News.

ADVERTISING SHOULD NEVER REST
You. should never let your advertising take a rest. It is
tireless and willing to work all the while in bringing in new'
business- When you let your advertising take a vacation you
lose sales, prestige and money. Continuous advertising indi-
cates that the concerns advertising give better quality and bet-
ter service. You cannot expect customers to continue to pa-
tronize you if you discontinue to invite them. Advertising is
a service due the public. People have a prejudice against
business concerns who .do not give them this service.
The more you advertise the more you sell. Advertising is the
magnet that attracts customers.
