Texas and lexans
-ALL TEXANS FOR ALL TEXAS"
By Will H. Mayes
More and Better Roads ing under the leadership of county
It is already evident that 1931 will farm a' d demonstration agents there
be a year noted in Texas for the
building of State highways. The
money is now available or in Might
lor a building program in excess of
that of any previous year since Tex-
ftlts began to realize that good high
ways are a valuable asset. All the
Toads needed can not be built during
tlx* year or in many years, but Tex-
ans now feel assured that as rapid-
ly as the work can be advantage-
ously done roads will be extended to
«I1 important centers of the State
The Texas Highway Commission has
done a noteable work in the last four
years, and there is every reason to
belit •ve that the same kind of build-
lug progri'ss will be done under the
present State administration.
Why The County Prospers
The Floresville Chronicle-Journal
proudly refers to the fact that 1930
Was a year of prosperity for the
people of Wilson county and says
this waa "made possible by a great
program of diversification." which
will be carried forwaid with even
greater cooperation during the year
have invariably been least complaint
of financial depression. To .aake
farming a great business it must Ik
conducted along business lines, which
is something that Texas farmers arc
learning.
Help Them Make Good
Many new officials are going into
office this month. Most of them were
profuse in promises before th-ii
election und most of these really
want to make capable public ser-
vants. The way to secure fulfill
inent of those promises is for th<
people who supported them by en-
couragement and practical help rath-
er than criticise them. We are ton
much inclined to forget that public
officers arc merely our public ser-
vants and like others rendering ser-
vice need to be kept reminded of
their promises in 'accepting office
und of their duties as officers. The
people alone can make theirs a
"government of the people."
Extending Oil Field

SHERIFF'S SUE
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
its were not as large as growers had | County of Bastrop.
By virtue of an Alias Execution]
issued out of the County Court of
Hastrop County, State of Texas, by
h pi <1, hut they made some money
ind gave employment to many work-
's who would otherwise have been
idle.
Tignal Joneii, Clerk of the County
Court Lastrop County, Texas, on
Hondos Staple Products ; u judgment rendered n said Court,
Hondo is another town that ships I on the 3rd day of December 1929,
ut more products than it ships in. I and directed and delivered to me as
but Hondo goes in largely for staples
rather than perishable produce. Last
year it shipped 183 cars of <orn, IX
cars of maize, 12 cars of onts, 20
cars of cattle, 350.000 pounds of
wool and mohair and less than 2.0fl<>
bales of cotton, which was about 100
per cent more than the year before.
Hondo is one of the towns from
which very little has been heard
about "financial depression."
Tnking Care of School Books
The State Hoard of Education has
found that many schools do not take
proper care of the free books issued
to them. Strict rulings have been
madu requiring teachers to make
more accurate reports as to condition
of books used by students and re-
quiring inspectors of schools to see
that the rulings are observed. The
Hoard is also looking Into the mat-
ter of use of numerous text books
not required with a view to stopping
the heavy expenditure for books of
which many patrons of the schools
have strongly complained.
Ore City Room
A small hamlet in the northeastern
section of Upshur county, known as
Ore City, seems on the eve of a boom
as a result of the leasing of some
250,000 acres of land said to contain
more than 80,000,000 tons of ore
of high-quality metallic content.
Hotels, store buildings and numerous
other structures have been contract-
ed in anticipation of the early devel-
opment of the valuable minerals,
which an* largely iron ore.
Menard Courthouse
Menard is to have its second court,
house to cost about S120.000 and to
take the place of the little stone
struct ere evetNd soon aft
er
th"
organization of the county at a cost
of $15,000 and which the county has
out grown.
Henderson Building
Discovery of oil in Rusk County
has caused unusual building activi-
ty at Henderson. People have mov-
ed into the town in such numbers
flint, despite the fact that most citi-
zens have hospitably thrown open
tin ir homes fur prospectors. there
have been insufficient houses to care
ior all of them.
Would Start New Towns
Thousands of people are watching
with great interest for the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion as to whether the Texas-Pacific
Railway shall be allowed to build its
proposed line 313 miles north of
1 ' ig Spring. The line would cross
!7 counties and many new towns
would spring up along the route soon
after its location.

Port Worth industries
A Fort Worth reader of this eol-
niiin has sent a clipping showing that
Port Worth has no cause to complain
of "Old 1030", inasmuch as during
the year 32 new industries have been
located there, giving employment to
1.272 people. The total capitaliza-
tion of these industries is in execs
■ f $2,110,000. What other Texas
•itie or to , n can heat this in pro-
portion to population?

New York has been called, in song
and story, a "great, cruel city with
out u heart."
But that statement wa$ a hard
one to believe during the Christ-
mas season. In homes, prisons und
charity lines, thousands wore fed
and given clothing. All New York
participated in the spirit of Christ i
mas. Never before was the need |
for help so evident, and never before
has the city been so generous in
making Christmas u merry one for
those who were riot fortunate enough
but certainly deserving, to have one
of their own.
The Municipal Lodging House
served Christmas dinner to 8,100 job-
less men and women. At three Sal-
vation Army stations, thousands of
needy men, women and children ate
turkey dinners made possible by con
tribut ions of the public. The lead-
ing newspapers of the city waged
intense relief campaigns, and several
are continuing to maintain food sup-
ply trucks to feed those in the bread
lines which form daily.
CHILDREN M VI)E HAPPY
One newspaper alone fed 15,000
families, representing 8.r>,000 persons.
Special Christmas parties were held
at many institutions, prisons, voter
ans hospitals and churches. Sailors
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard were
hosts to 1 i(i children, and other child
ren in the district were entertained
on various ships. Restaurant proprie
tors gave generous meals free of
charge to the hungry, and in similar
ways hotels brought cheer to thus •
who most needed it. In the Tom!
anil other city prisons and in Sing
.sing, routine was forgotten for th
day while prison* rs enjoyed holida
dinners and unusual privileges.
The spirit of Christmas givinc.
reigned, and some charities laid th"
foundations for a program of relief
which will he effective the year
around.
IAS ELVE MILES OCT
One colored gentleman, however,
was not sa'isfied with the quality of
Christinas cheer being dispensed (in
bottles) in New York. He announced
his distrust of holiday liquor on 1
aid he wa going out where gin was
gin and not varnish or words to that
effect. lie accordingly set out i'1
a row boat, his destination being 1
miles out. But his na . i al cnr< • •
was cut short by a police l i e ''
which overtook the lone sailor off
Coventor' Island and brought him I
back. Although he did not evacM' i
achieve his goal, to him nm t •'
be credit of proving that, the man |
who would walk a mile Tor a certain I
•igarette is stiivly a piker.
