Well, folks, the time sure has
slipped up on me—it’s time to write
my column and I haven’t had time
to even think about it, as I have
been back and forth to San Antonio
doing lots of legal work for great old
Aunt Rose, as I was her legal
guardian. So, now I have all her
estate to get settled, and as anyone
of you who have handled such work
will know, it is quite involved and ——r
takes up much time. So, please youngsters will have to buckle down
forgive me for having such a short with their studies. But, the Labor
column.
Well, those rains did show up and
— gave some places a relief from the
9 drought. Still others got no relief.
