it VOTE EARLY AND MAKE
"RETURNS AVAILABLE
' Everybody will be anxious to know the results of
the election tomorrow. The outcome is being watched
in every county of the state. While the race for gov-
-ernor over-shadows the whole field many county and
district contests will hold the center of attention be-
cause of their greater importance here at home.
One way to make these returns available at the
earliest possible moment is for the voters to go
to the polls in the forenoon instead of waiting un-
til later in the day. In most precincts all ballots
could be cast by noon with the full cooperation of
the voters. In the precincts where the vote is heavy
the same cooperation will greatly reduce the bur-
den of last-minute rush at the polls.
Early voting can only be made possible by the vot-
ers. The election officials are at the polls to serve you
and only ask that you avail yourself of one of the
greatest privileges you enjoy as a citizen of your
stat$. Aid the election officials by casting your ballot
. without delay tomorrow.

SWEETWATER UNEQUALLED
AS SITE FOR VETS HOSPITAL
Sweetwater's bid for the proposed Veterans Hospital
for West Texas is unequalled. It has what every other
city .has, plus. That "plus" is in its superior water sup-
ply, its accessibility and its climate. Any one of these
factors is fundamentally important but to have all three
of them should make an extraordinary appeal to those
responsible for the hospital's location. Climatic advan-
tages should weigh heavily in locating an institution
of this kind. Not only will the local climate benefit those
who are patients in the institution but this will likewise
lower the cost of operating the hospital.
The Board of City Development is accepting the
responsibility of making the presentation of sites
to the Veterans Administration engineer. But this
in no way removes the need for an enthusiastic sup-
port from all the citizenship. Here is a project that
_ Sweetwater can go after, knowing that it is quali-
fied to the nth degree and also knowing that it can
be of service to an important adjunct of the govern-
ment. It is vitally important that Sweetwater re-
alize that this is an institution that should be lo-
cated here and nowhere else in West Texas.

HOLLYWOOD—All over the
lot: On a set so large that it
overflows the sound stage
through the huge doors into
adjoining streets, a rose festi-
val of some unidentified Balkan
country is being staged for the
new Bing Crosby picture, "Par-
is Honeymoon."
The scene is a town square,
and it is thronged with bril-
liantly costumed people. All the
men of this town seem to be
young and handsome; all the
women young and pretty. They
dance, stroll, throw confetti,
laugh and flirt. One fellow,
though, is visibly distraught,
and Dance Director LeRoy Prinz
tells about him:
"Just for a little piece of busi-
ness on that side of the set,"
he says, "I told this guy to lift
Paula DiCardo out of that low
window and kiss her as he let
her down to the ground. I could
see he was nervous, but we
were ready to roll and he did
it all right.
"And now he comes up to me
wringing his hands and says,
'My God, Mr. Prinz!—my wife
will see this picture and she'll
divorce me! She said I shouldn't
work in this picture, but I told
her I was just an extra, with
nothing to do. And only this
morning she said, 'You're sure
there's no hugging and kissing
in that movie?' And I said abso-
lutely not. Oh, I'm ruined!"

Third Round Today
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. —
(UP)—Seven seeded players ov-
ercame bad weather conditions
to enter the third-round of the
46th annual Longwopd Bowl

All matches were played at the
Longwood covered court or at
the country club when rain
forced the players indoors for
the fourth successive day.

faced, graying man who is
introduced as Andre Chariot. It
is the Andre Chariot. He was
the Ziegfeld of Paris, and then
in London he was the Ziegfeld
and Earl Carroll and the George
White of the theatre. Over here,
on a busy sound stage, he can
stand around unnoticed except
by his friend, George Cukor.
"Mr. Cukor asked me to help
a little with backgrounds on
this picture," Chariot explains.
"You know, I am old enough to
have seen the French star, Re-
jane, when she created the
part of 'Zaza' in 1898.
"Yes, 1 am here on a vaca-
tion. A vacation which I think
will not ever end. I will do
whatever I can do here—pro-
duce, direct, write, even act.
But I never will go back. There,
all is so disturbed, so unhappy;
here, a man can work."

tute.
Director William Keighley
does his best to imbue Wayne

would be ashamed of you: you're
acting like a bunch of damn
Yankees!" Again, "No, do it
better this time or I'll swear
we'll pay you off in Confeder-
ate money."
American Track
Team Adds Titles
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UP)
—American track stars annex-
ed five more titles yesterday,
making a total of 10 events won
during the first two days of
Sweden's annual three-day in-
ternational track and field meet.
The U. S. visitors added the
110-meter hurdles, 200-meter
dash, 1,000 meter run, 1,000 met-
er relay and high jump titles
to the five they won the pre-
vious day.
Two new stadium marks were
set, Ben Johnson of Columbia
winning the 200 in 20.9 seconds
and Fred Wolcott, of Rice, top-
ping the hurdles in 13.9 seconds.
Howie Borck of Manhattan
University won the 1,000 meter
turn in 2:31, while the relay
team finished ahead in 1:59.3.
Gil Cruter of Colorado won the
high jump with a two meter
leap (6 ft. 0 3-4 in.)

In the National league, the
leading Pirates scored three
runs in the ninth to nose the
Philadelphia Phillies 5-4, and
retain their 1% game margin
over the New York Giants who
also won.
Giants kept pace by beating
the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2, be-
hind the five hit hurling of Carl
Hubbell. The Giants pounded
Henshaw, McGee and Macon for
11, and clinched the game with
a four-run burst in the seventh.
Chicago Cubs divided a dou-
ble bill with the Brooklyn Dod-
gers. The Cubs won the open-
er 5-2 behind the four-hit hurl-
ing of Clay Bryant, but they
were blanked 1-0 in the night-
cap when the veteran Luke
Hamlin allowed them but two
hits.
Cincinnati and Boston were
not scheduled.
Loans for Home
Building Reach
Peak During June
Increase Due to Large
Percentage Obtainable
From Federal Bank
In June, 1938, the lending of
funds for the construction of
homes by the 295 members of
the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Little Rock, in Arkansas, Louis-
iana, Mississippi, New Mexico,
and Texas, reached the peak.
During this month loans on
homes aggregating $4,219,000
were made, and the loans for
the first six months of the year
aggregated $21,934,000. This in-
crease is due to the large per-
centage of the cost of the home
that may be borrowed from the
members of the bank and the
favorable terms upon which
funds for building homes may be
borrowed.
Increase In Savings
During June there was also
the largest percentage of in-
crease in savings investments in
the association of any other
month within the last several
years. The gain in investments
in the associations is attributed
largely to the fact that each
share account is insured against
loss up to $5,000 by the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance cor-
poration in addition to the satis-
factory earnings of the associa-
tions which are regularly distri-
buted in the form of dividends.
The reports of the members
of the bank for the first six
months reflect that dividends
paid to shareholders during this
period aggregated $2,735,000. The
reports further reflect an ex-
panding trend in the southwest
toward home ownership and an
increasing desire on the part of
the average citizen to save part
of his earnings.
Included in the progress re-
ports set out above and in the
dividends are the activities of
the Sweetwater Federal Savings
and Loan association.
There are 3008 state divisions
called counties in the United
States, plus 64 parishes and 26
independent cities, which also
have the status of counties.
MARSHALL H. PIOR
A Message to Our
Friends and Voters
of the 117th District
We, the undersigned former employees, of Marsh all H. Pior, candidate for representative from
the I17lh district, give our hearty endorsement and support to his candidacy, and make the fol-
lowing statement:
Having worked with and for Mr. Pior for a number of years, we found him to be unquestion-
ably honest, just and fair in his business deal ings. His attitude has always been fair and sym-
pathetic toward the laboring men.
During the years of depression, Mr. Pior main tained the same wage scale and did not reduce
his force, and we believe this was strictly due to his business ability and foresight.
We want to recommend Mr. Pior to the voters of Nolan, Mitchell and Fisher counties, and we
believe this district will be greatly benefited by having this capable efficient business man to
represent us in Austin.
Let's put a man there whose business ability has been tried and proven
