I Give You Texas
By Boyce House
When I was the editor of the
Cisco- Daily News back in 1924,
there was a middled-aged man
who came into the office almost
every morning to read the “ex-
changes” — (the newspapers of
tihe area which we received in
exchange for the News).
He was well-dressed, his linen
was immaculate, his manner
had the courtliness of the Old
South. His name was Max El-
ser. He and a partner had built
the telegraph line from Dallas
to Fort Worth in anticipation of
the arrival of Fort Worth’s first
railroad. Thei construction of the
railroad was delayed because of
financial difficulties and so El-
ser operated the telegraph line
about a year; then the1 Texas
and Pacific reached the town
and took over the line.
When I knew him, he was an
oil man. I don’t think he drilled
but sometimes had a financial
interest in a test. His specialty
was getting up blocks of acreage.
Seme years before, he had held
leases on several thousand acres
in an adjoining county and he
became known as “the Count of
Callahan.”
Later, numerous oil pools were
developed in Callahan County
and, had Elser held on to all his
holdings, he doubtless would
have been a multimillionaire.
But I doubt that he could have
been any happier for he was,
despite his years, one of the
most alive men I have ever
known.
There are some who were in-
tended to be prophets who show
the way to others. Such a pion-
eer was Bax Elser, the Count of
Callahan.
♦ ♦
In the- old days, most cigarette
smokers “rolled their own.”
There was a skill in this; also
it was a graceful sight to see
just the right amount of tobacco
poured from the sack into the
bent paper; then came the roll-
ing into a neat little cylinder,
the moistening with the tip of
the tongue to “glue” the cigar-
ette, and the final twist to the
tip. Then this tip expired in
a flare as the match was ap-
plied and the smoker inhaled
the first draw, then — with a
sigh of contentment — slowly
exhaled the blue wisp or smoke.
Far more people are smoking
cigarettes now than in those
days but when was the last time
you saw one rolled'?
Tlie ineffecient use of farm
machinery con be a heavy con-
tributor to lower farm income.
Cecil Parker, extension farm
management specialist, says
good farm machinery records
provide the information needed
to improve machinery efficiency
and farm income.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Pensions and other retirement
benefits are not earnings for
social security purposes. They
will not affect payment of so-
cial security benefits, accord-
ing to Bob Barnes, Field Repre-
sentative of the Waco Social Se-
curity Office.
Mr. Barnes will be in Hills-
boro at the County Courtroom
between the hours of 10:00 a.m.
and 12:00 noon on every Wett-
nesday to assist persons in mat-
ters pertaining to their socia
security.
Extension Veterinarian C. M
Patterson suggests to buyers ol
gilts for the breeding here! that
all possible precautions be ob-
served in order to keep damag-
ing swine disease out of thf
herd. He lists leptospirosis
brucellosis, atrophic rhinitis anc
virus pneumonia as major dis-
eases which are very hard tc
detect.

countability and for proper distribution to the Local Maintenance
Fund and to the Interest and Sinking Fund.
We also checked all disbursements through your disburse-
ments journal for proper allocation as per budget requirements
anU finally against proper bank accounts.
Findings:
We found the records in good1 shape and all monies properly
accounted for.
We note that a certificate of deposit owned by Interest and

account of the Interest and Sinking Fund No. 3.
The various schedules reflect the results of operation for the
year and are shown in sufficient detail as to be self-explanatory.

generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis con-
sistent with that of the preceding year.
