Panhandler
Hundreds of friends over the 84th
judicial district have learned with
regret that W. L. McConnell, nomi-
nee f°r the district attorney and pre-
sent holder of that office, has de-
cided not to be a write-in candidate
-for district judge.
McConnell’s name is on the ballot
for district attorney in the general
election for Tuesday, Nov. 8. As the
official Democratic nominee, it was
expected that McConnell would be
reelectd, as there is no opposition
on the ballot.
It would require an extensive
educational compaign to got- the
people of the five counties of the
84th judicial district to write in the
name of McConnell for district
judge just above his printed name
for district attorney. In fact, it was
mighty confusing to many of Mc-
Connell’s ardent supporters.
The district attorney deserves
much praise for taking the lead
himself in stopping his supporters
from advancing his name for dis- nntatoes field neas and beans
trict judge. McConnell would easily
have won the race for district judge,
CANYON, Oct. 27—Senator Tom
Connally, a boyhood friend and
classmate of D’r. J. A. Hill, will he
the “Prexy Day” speaker on Oct.
29, the 61st birthday of the presi-
dent of West Texas State College.
Senator Connally has accepted an
invitation extended by the Epsilon
Betas, men’s social club which an-
nually sponsors “Prexy Day.” and
a group of local citizens. He will
speak at 11 a. m. in the main audi-
torium. A luncheon honoring the
senator and other distinguished
guests will be given at Cousins Hall
by Clyde W. Warwick, Randall coun-
ty democrat chairman, and C. R.
Burrow, local lumber dealer and
former mayor, and a longtime friend
of Senator Connally.
Letters are being sent urging the
presence of all Democrat county
chairmen in Northwest Texas, and
legislators of the same area will be
invited.
In the afternoon, the visitors will
be taken on a tour of Palo Duro
State park and to Buffalo dam and
lake. The concluding event of the
day will be a football game at 81:30
p. m. between the West Texas State
College Buffalo.es and Kansas State
College of Pittsburg.
The Epsilon Betas will open the
assembly program with a short tri-
bute to President Hill.

Garden Acreage Is
Changed Under AAA
COLLEGE STATION, Oct. 27—
Texas home gardens will take a neu-
tral classification under the 1939
AAA program. In the past, acreage
devoted to vegetables for home use
was “charged” against a farm in
figuring payments under AAA in the
same way as were cash crops.
The. ruling for 1939 was obtained
from AAA officials and announced
to county agricultural and home de-
monstration agents by Miss Mildred
Horton and Jack Shelton, vice-direc-
tors and state agents of the Texas
A. and M. College Extension Service.
“The ruling means that land plant-
ed to vegetables for home use with-
in the bounds of the garden fence,
in frame gardens, and in patches of
general vegetables for home consum-
ption, including such crops as pump-
kins, sweet corn, cane for syrup,
Restyled and streamlined, the new 1930 Chevrolets also introduce major mechanical
improvements contributing to safety, comfort, and operating ease. They are on dis-
play today in Chevrolet Dealers’ salesrooms throughout the United States.

as well as for district attorney, m
the latter case, Governor Allred
would appoint a new district attoi-
ney for a two-year term.
Under this plan, McConnell will be
returned to the office of district
attorney, and the people will select
as district judge either Jack Allen
of Perryton or Jos. H. Ayneswortli
of Borger. Both these men are mak-
ing aggressive races and have been
in Carson county this week meeting
voters.
Friends regard it as a real sacri-
fice on the part of McConnell, and
his supporters from all five coun-
ties are already insisting that lie
make his plans to run for district
judge in 1940. They are holding
that a man willing to sacrifice him-
self now for the higher honor of
district judge should have the place
without opposition at the next regu-
lar election.
By stepping aside now McConnell
should be an easy winner for the
judge’s place in 1940—even it theie
were a dozen, candidates for the of-
fic But The Panhandler believes
that'McConnell has made it just a
little easier to vote by ending any
possible confusion in casting a ballot
twice for the same man.
McConnell had precedent in being
a candidate for two offices m a
general election. John N. Garnei
was a candidate for congressman ajnd
also for vice president. But his name
was not on the ballot for vice presi-
dent, the names of electors being
there intead. That made it less con-
fusing.
Although Panhandle is more than
half a century old, this city proba-
bly will have more editors today
than at any time in its history.
Around 25 editors will be here for
the Rotary Club luncheon, which
will also honor Deskins Wells ot
Wellington, president of the Texas
Press Association, who will be the
principal speaker.
Another distinguished guest will
be Dr. J. A. Hill, president of West
Texas State College, Canyon, of
which institution Wells attended. If
The Panhandler was to make a no-

counties of the Panhandle.
potatoes is neutral”, they

said.
As many acres as are needed for
home use can be used without affect-
ing the allotments for cotton, wheat,
and general crops. Home orchards
and berry patches may be neutral
or partially soil building, depending
on whether or not they are inter-
planted, and the kind of crop used
in interplanting.
In many sections enough grains
can be produced so that some can
be milled and converted into whole
ground meal, whole wheat flour, and
home ground cereals to supply part
of the approximately 170 pounds of
grain products dieticians say each
individual needs in the course of a
year.
The extension leaders also pointed
out that the general crops and the
pastures can be handled in such a
way as to provide an abundance of
milk, butter, cheese, eggs, and
meat for the family table.

That statement may be hard to
believe, but Dr. Hill has made his
investments in the lives of the young
men and young women of the Pan-
handle, the richest dividends possi-
ble. Andrew Carnegie gave tens of
millions of dollars to build libraries.
And near the end of his life, he ad-
mitted that his greatest investment
had been in young men, giving them
the opportunity to start on success-
ful careers.

Rev. Watkins and some of the other
citizens believe they are real smart
by finding a few. Especially after
reading this extract from Lin Yu-
tang’s book, “The Importance of
Living,” (Harper): “An American
editor worries his hair gray to see
that no typographical mistakes ap-
pear on the pages of his magazine.
The Chinese editor is wiser than
that. He wants to leave his readers
the supreme satisfaction of discov-
ering a few typographical mistakes
for themselves.”
Wheeler Times: Billboal’d adver-
tising is dangerous. The primary
purpose of a billboard is to attract
the attention of motorists to the
message of the advertiser. In doing
so, it detracts their attention from
the operation of the automobile, re-
sulting in more accidents than the
billboard companies care to admit.
Newspaper advertising is much
safer, since the easy chair conven-
iently located in the home is not apt
to climb a telephone pole at 60 miles
an hour when John Q. Public turns
his attention to an ad.

White Deer Review: There is
many a White Deer man who shies
at spelling the most ordinary words
and who believes it is better to say
it than to write it, for maybe you
could not read it if he wrote it! We
have learned there are many dis-
tinguished statesmen and famous
writers who were poor spellers.

Moore County News: There is a
law against overloading of trucks
that use the state highways. The
law is not popular with many who
claim the load limit to be too low.
But nevertheless, it is the law and
State Highway officers are charged
with its enforcement.
So it’s difficult to fall out with
them for doing the job for which
they are paid.

Childress Index: If the four-
power settlement of the Czech
problem was worth all it cost be-
cause it brought peace to Europe, it
is queer that the re-armament pro-
gram should be enjoying such thriv-
ing health right now.

Floyd County Hesperian: It just
happens ducks are not bothering the
farmers a lot this fall. The water is
not so plentiful in the lakes here.
But last year there was much bo-
therting along this line. Farmers
who did not want to violate the
game laws by shooting water fowl
out of season had their patience
tried.

Curry County Times: At the* very
moment you read this, fire jengines
are dashing with screaming sirens
to someone’s burning home. Every
two minutes somewhere in America,
this dramatic tragedy will be re-
enacted. So it goes , twenty-four
hours a day, 36 5 days a year. Every
two minutes a home catches fire.

Tnlia Herald: The automobile
death and accident rate has shown
a steady decline- for a number of
months. But now the crucial test
period is at hand.
We are entering the most danger-
ous driving months. Fall brings
rains, to be followed by the ice and
snows of winter, all of which im-
measurably increase driving hazards.
Equally important, these seasons
bring shorter days—and the acci-
dent rate at night, is much higher
than in daylight.
