Nothing So Cheap
Human life is about the cheapest
commodity this country has. Here
are a few examples; A man in Mns-
snchu- tts wns married and had
three children. He became infatu-
ated with a 16-ycar-old girl and in
order to g t rid of his wife he took
her out on the river one night for
a canoe l id . turned the boat over
and n- he swam to the shore he said
hr heard her railing: “Here I am,
come and help me," But he didn’t
tfo.
A man in Pennsylvania had
everything arranged for his wed-
ding but he was short of money
nnd rai l he wanted to “dress the
bride tin" for the occasion, and so
he w nt, out nnd robbed and killed
a fanner nnd got the money. He

two young men in Eastland county

he “wanted to see them kick.” In-

two other men in an attempt to rob
them.

killed someone he was always able
to give at least a flimsy excuse but

HEALTH NOTES
Austin, Texas.—Comparatively
few people seriously realize the
automobile’s deadly power, but, ac-
cording to Dr. John W. Brown,
State Health Officer, over 1500
Texans are killed each year by
autos. Very logically considered as
a major recreational and Useful
mechanism, its ability prematurely
to maim and kill makes little im-
pression upon most of up. In fact,
the daily list of casuaiities in the
situation. Nevertheless, as a men
ace to life and limb the automobile
unfortunately represents a real
hazard.
In addition to its pleasure and
utility factors, the motor-car has
it- devastating side also. Decidedly
this fact should not be overlooked.
And in this connection education
alone can be relied upon to bring
results. There is no serum, no drug,
no quarantine procedure, nor any
effective mass control against the
automobile’s damaging power. Au-
tomobile accidents caused more
deaths in Texas last year than the
combined deaths from typhoid
fever, smallpox, measles1, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, whooping cough, and
infantile paralysis.
Whether human nature can be
sufficiently bridled by public opin-
ion as to result in more careful
driving and more cautious walking
remains to be proved. But the fact
is that a major health and life prob-
lem is involved in the present cir-
cumstance.
Safe water, clean milk, disease
control, slum clearance, sanatoria,
and indeed modern medicine and
surgery are all of small avail to
the speed-maniac who kills himself
and others. Medical science also is
equally powerless to save pedes
trians who are knocked down by the
careless driver, or who carelessly
connect with careful drivers.
Citizens generally could well ser-
iously consider this ever increasing
challenge to life and health. Upon
them tests much of the obligation
definitely to reduce the ever in-
creasing casualties.

fecting the record” about over
meaning the time during which
members of the legislature, facing
rt-election next year, have introduc-
ed for the sake of the record, about
the full crop of “wild” measures
about which they can brag during
the campaign next summer—the
special session was about reatb to
settle down to work out some con-
structive measures from the flood
of good, bad and indifferent bills
offered for the record.

The house expected to get onto
the floor for debate at least one
of three bills for liquor control.
These range from the measure by
Emm tt Morse, wet leader, permit-
ting sale in cafes and hotels—re-
garded as the “wet” bill—to that
by George Moffett of Chiliicothe,
calling for state monopoly and sale
only in unbroken packages, which
may be taken as the extreme dry
measure. In between, there is a
proposal by C. E. Nicholson, Port
Arthur, under which the state
would act as liquor wholesaler,
licensing retail package stores and
hotel and restaurant bars, which
could sell by the drink. In the sen-
ate, Clint Small’s bill defining a
saloon as any place selling a drink,
signed by eight of his senate col-
leagues, is the only pending liquor
measure.
Leading the big parade of state
officials who will seek re-election
in 1936, Col. Ernest O. Thompson,
of Amarillo, chairman of the rail-
road commission this week issued
his formal announcement. His cam-
paign, Thompson asserted, will be
based upon the record of the com-
mission in administering oil con-
servation laws. “Our oil law is
written to protect the consumer as
well as the producer,” said Thomp-
son. “We have administered it faith
fully.” Thompson was appointed by
Gov. Sterling in February, 1932
when Pat Neff resigned. He was
elected in November, 1932, to fill
out Neff’s term.

Candidates for the legislature from
sections that are drier than some
of their present representatives
might check up on the personnel
of this "party” and obtain some
useful campaign thunder.
Last week, Walter Cline, $25,-
000 a year managing director
the Texas Centennial Central Ex-
position, Inc., of Dallas, flew
Washington to see some federal
officials. He suddenly discovered
himself to be out of a job. While
he was gone, the executive commit
tee has announced his resignation
from his lucrative post. Cline den-
ied he had resigned, said he was
being “forced out.” What happen
ed was that a bitter fight that has
been going on for weeks behind the
scenes had suddenly broken into the
open—and Cline had lost. Otto
Herold, rtcent manager of the State
Fair of Dallas, was named tempor-
ary successor to Cline.

Committee hearing on the oldage
pension system, together with bills
to finance it, continued this week.
Some pretty wild proposals, both
for paying pensions and for raising
the money to do it, have been of-
fered. Additional revenue undoubt
edly will be needed. At this eariy
date, sentiment seems to be strong
cst among the solons to put much
of this cost on chain stores, natural
resources including oil, gas and sul-
phur, and possibly an increased take
from the race-track bettors.

What actually happens, of course,
is due to be learned only when the
lobby goes into action. The lobby-
ists are here in swarms, In addition
to those of the big oil companies,
the public utilities and others who
remain constantly in Austin, num-
erous “specialists,” including a large
whisky lobby, and a sizeable repre.
sentation from- the-hotels who seek
to sell liquor, are on the job. So
large is the "third house” at this
special session that one airline has
put on a special plane, politely re-
ferred to as the “Legislative Spe-
cial,” so lobbyists can st ep at
home in Dallas or San Antonio and
work in Austin, without loss of
time.
The whiskey lobby, which totally
ignored Texas during the battle
over the repeal amendment, is on
the job in a big way now that some
kind of liquor sale is certain, and
they can’t lose. They staged a two-
Cline never did business to suit
the banking group which controls
the Dallas Centennial machine. He
was the last member of the original
Texas Centennial commission cast
to remain in the picture, and he had
been miscast from the outset. Cline
is a big, colorful, talkative West
Texan from Wichita Falls. His
genius is that of a salesman and
contact man. He likes people, and
they usually like him. On an exe
cutive job that required a “hard
boiled" man capable of picking an
efficient staff and seeing that
did its work, he was lost. He pre-
ferred the spectacular irole, and
he thought if he hired the best
talent from the San Diego and Chi
cago fairs, they would look after
the details. They didn’t and couldn’t.
They found Texas conditions and
Texas people altogether different,
and they simply made no headway
to organizing a great exposition
while expenditures rolled up to
point that scared the bankers and
caused serious friction with the
City of Dallas officials, who were
putting up $3,500,000 of bond
money. Those who know Dallas will
tell you that anybody who tackles
the three big banks in Dallas is
courageous, but lacking in discre-
tion.

J. B. O’Hara, president of Dr
Pepper Company, says of newspa-
per advertising:
“For many years, prior to 1928
Dr. Pepper Company and other
soft drink manufacturers confined
advertising largely to mere name
display and repetition. The public,
unenlightened, considered all car-
bonated beverages as a sort of
childish vice. We knew Dr. Pepper
wn more than n met* * thirst

ies of ‘fuel’ value; of its quick al-
most uncanny effect in reviving
tnimnn energy and thci asittg effi
ciency. We kn w most people need

times daily, mid-way between r.gu-

It required words -pictures—and
a medium of wide distribution,
which could he correlated with out
needs without prohibitive wast'.
“We selected the newspapers. We
-ummed up our thoughts in the now
famous slogan; ‘Drink a bite to eat
nt 10, 2 and 4 o’clock.’ The public
caught on; responded in a big way
We expanded year by year, from
the three original cities in Texas,
to a Southwide distribution and
popularity.
“Naturally we believe strongly
in newspaper advertising and invest
in it heavily. It has paid us well. As
evidence of our faith in it, we will,
in 1935, spend for newspaper space
more of our appropriation than for
space in any other medium."
Easy To Be An Editor
One of the easiest jobs in the
world is bring an editor. All an edi-
tor has to do is^to sit at his desk
twelve hours a day, six or seven
days a week, four or five weeks in
a month and twelve months in
year and straighten out such stuff
and correspondence as the following,
which reaches his desk by the cord
at times:
“Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek let
a can-opener slip last week and cut
herself in the pantry.
“A mischievous lad of Punkville
threw a stone and hit a Mr. Pike
in the alley last Tuesday.
“Tom Brown climbed on the roof
of his house last week, looking for
a leak, and fell, striking himself on
the back porch.
‘While Harold Green was escort-
ing Miss Violet Wise from the
church social last Saturday, a sav-
age dog attacked them and bit
Harold on the public square.
‘While Farmer Frank was har-
nessing a young colt last Saturday
the colt whirled around and kicked
him n ar his corn-crib.”—Chicago

CANNING AND LANDSCAPING
COMBINED BY CLUB MEMBER
That one may successfully lay
away a farm food supply and at
the same time gradually landscape
the yard is being proven by Mrs.
J. B. Eastman of Cedar Lane, who
has canned 260 containers of meat
and 650 other containers of food
this year, while also carrying on
yard demonstration.
B ginning by drawing a plan for
landscaping the place, Mrs. East-
man then had her lawn leveled and
sodded and her beds thrown up sur-
rounding the house. In addition, she
has planted twelve varieties of na-
tive and nursery grown shrubs.
The plan which she means to
follow in completing her yard in
the next two years calls for twenty-
five varieties of shrubs.
Mrs. Eastman owns her own can-
ning equipment including a cooker
and sealer.
On S.pt. 25 at 7 p. m. the Cedar
Lane Club will have their achieve-
ment event.
