ableto make further attacks on he dread disease of in-

battl with the disease several years ago, the public has
become aroused to the necessity of eliminating infantile
paralysis from America, if possible. Scientist are making
progress in their fight against the enemy and physicians
are doing much to relief the suffering to those afflicted.

McDonald Warns the Farmers.
. ....... 3 ....... .
J. E. McDonald, an Ellis County farmer who is now
commissioner of agriculture in -Texas, recently issued a
warning to farmers not to invest too much money in live-
stock as he foresees the day when this phase of farm life
will be as' greatly out of balance as cotton was a few
years ago.
Perhaps in some sections of Texas there is need for
the advice offered by the Commissioner, but Ellis County
lacks considerably of being well-balanced as far as live-
stock is concerned. Few farmers in this section have a
livestock program that is too extensive. In fact, most
farmers would derive a high return if they were in a po-
sition to invest from $500 to $1,000 more in livestock. An
investment of a million dollars in livestock by Ellis Coun-
ty farmers during the present year would not throw the
agriculture program out of balance, provided that the far-
mers return sufficient land to pasture and raise all the I
food they need. •
Today Ellis County farm leaders are practicing a bal- j
anced program, the safest known and one that is best
for the individual, his community, and his country.
--------0-------
The Tribune was impressed by an expression of ela-
tion from one of its community correspondents recently
over the fact that they were now being supplied with
power and light from the rural electric line. Thus one
by one the inconviences and discomforts of rural life
are being removed. Few dared to dream, of electric con-
veniences for the farm even a few years back, yet they
have come to pass in a comparativly short time. When-
ever you hear of anyone decrying the present adminis-
tration, just recall this one thing to its credit.
This is but one of the achievements of an adminis-
tration which has sought to bring a greater measure of
happiness and comfort to our rural population. With the
completion of the farm to market system of all-weather
roads in this commissioner’s district, also made possible
by the Roosevelt administration another great step for-
ward will have been made in behalf of the rural resident.
The fact of the matter is, that a mistake was made
in the original plan of road-building in this country. In-
stead of the construction of good roads between great
civic centers, they should have been started from the civ-
ic centers, to the country, from which the cities derived
a great part of their wealth. The cities already were con-
nected with lines of communication in the way of rail-
roads and interurbans. The construction of good roads
between cities all but put these out of business. Had the
roads been constructed to the rural districts instead, the
• railroads and interurbans would have had time to read-
just themselves to new conditions, and would not have
been subjected to the hardships that have been their por-
tion as the result of the practice of such a policy.—Terrell

the American cotton planters are
paid a fair American price for that
portion of the cotton crop consum-
ed in the United States, and sell our
exportable surplus to all nations at
whatever price it can be sold.”
State Commissioner McDonald
said that he was directing the at-
tention of Ellis countians, and all
Texas people interested in cotton,
because, “I think it is worthy of
their consideration and comments,
as it makes pertinent statements
regarding the south’s main crop,
cotton.”

France, which was sung first in
1792. A band of men, soldiers,
minstrels and indignent citi-

in southeast France sung it first.
Every single person who knows
Buddy Davis, as we know him,
will be as happy as we are in his
announcement as a candidate in
the Democratic primaries for the
office of Constable for Precinct No.
3, of Ellis County, Texas.
Jeff Davis, Buddie by adoption
to those who knew him, was born
in Ennis about thirty years ago,
and has lived in this community
all of his life. He was educated in
the Ennis public schools. He has
been active in church and civic af-
fairs for a number of years, but
has never been a candidate for pub
lie office or held a public office
of any kind.
He has not only showed an ac-
tive interest in organized interests,
but he has also shown a constant
interest in the welfare of every in-
dividual to whom he might be of
.service as well as of the community
as a whole. His whole life has
■been one of service, unselfish and
without compensation, or askance
therefor.
We, who know Buddie,, know
that he is industrious—industrious
the hard way; that he is honest in
all things and to all persons, that
he is fearless, that he is trust-
worthy, and, we know that he can
and will faithfully discharge any
duty given to him. From his works,
we know him; and, we are proud of
his friendship.
We know that, if and when Bud-
die is delegated the duties and au-
thority of constable, he will not
betray your trust; we know that
he will be as loath to assume au-
thority not delegated him, as he
will be certain to exercise that au-
