The resolutions, a copy of which
will be sent to the governor, allege
that East Texas has failed to deal
fairly with the Western section of
the state and add that during the
past 25 years the Western part of
Texas has lost out in issues at stake
between the two sections.
A delegation was appointed to at-
tend a meeting at Sweetwater this
week, the purpose of which is "to se-
cure a square deal for West Texas

Contrary to the expectations
of nearly all concerned the re-
suits of yesterday's city elections
gave a majority of three votes in
favor of increasing the salary of
the mayor of Marshall to $3,000
per year. The second amend-
ment proposing to permit the
mayor to engage in some other
business was overwhelmingly de-
feated.
Voting in all wards was very
light and opponents of the sal-
sry Increase attributed its suc-
cess to the fact that a sufficient
number of those who might have
opposed it failed to cast their
votes.
City officials stated last night
that the increase would be effect-

Warm friends of Governor Neff in
this section expressed themselves as
being disappointed with his statement
- appearing in dsily papers this morn-
ing in defense of his veto of the West
Texas A. & M. bill.
It was pointed out that the gover-
nor had no word of sympathy for the
aspiration of the people o fthe West-
ern part of the state to secure edu-
cational advantages for their children
and offered no hope that the state
government would even provide the
required institutions.

years, the dry air of that reg-

form similar to the modem
American griddle cake or the
Mexican tortilla.
This ancient food was found
on the plaxa of Oak-Tree House,

ruins that Dr. Fewkes has un-
earthed and reconstructed.
There also was found the
