Persons reading the papers
these days would come to the
opinion that net a "Dark Horse"
is on the Democratic range.
It is bad when one iamb has
seven shepherds. Old Proverb.
In Texas democracy there have
developed the seven shepherds, i
At cording to some Texas dem-
ocrats the party should file a
petition in bankruptcy, stating
that they have run completely
out of timber for the presidency
or for cabinet work.
Texas democrats seem to have
forgotten there is a man named
Donahey in Ohio and that ho has
the makin’s of a president. They
seem too busy in the negative
business to assist in a positive

Mrs. Henry Allen Baxley and
little daughter, Doris, were
brought home from the sani-
tarium in Dallas Monday. When
they arrived the baby was greet
ed by a great grand-mother,
two grand mothers, one great
auot. and a number of other rel-
atives,
Do you know how big the chick
en industry has grown? Consid-
er. then, that there were sold
last year in this country 800,000,-
000 baby chicks. How is that for
an industry? Egg production in
the United States was at the rate
of 7fi0 eggs eRch seennd, or
2,000,000,000 dozen in the year.
If your house needs painting
you are losing if you do not do
the job. You are losing in two
ways: the property deteriorates
when onapinted, for paint pre-
serves. and you lose the satisfac
ition of a more pretty residence.

The postmaster at Okra Hoi
low says that if we dont mind he
wants to state that he is willing
to accept a postoftice from a1
Smith if he is nominated and
elected. He says the fees-will
come in just as handy as tho they
were from Walsh or any other
candidate named by the Harmony
Constitutionalists.
Dallas county is getting some
unwonted publicity these days
because of her attitude toward
the democratic candidates for
nomination as presidential can-
didates. We went so far, it is
said, as to vote the republican
ticket when we were not suited
by the actions of the party con-
ventions. We may lose a lot of
our influence in party affairs if
we are chronic kickers.
David B. Hill of New York
never had much to say in demo-
cratic political circles after W. J.
Bryan was nominated the first
time, following his "Cross of
Gold and Crown of Thorns"
speech. David said he “was a
Democrat still, VERY STILL”
and so he remained. The party
was out of power many a long
year and mainly because the
minority failed to work with the
majority. You can perhaps dn
some good working within your
party but it’s a cinche you can-
not get anywhere just helping
the other folks to success, for
they have no interest in you.
Honest Now, what is your
opinion of a man who accepts
office from a party and then open-
ly states that he is ready to bolt
'.hat party if the person he desir-
es is not nominated as candidate
for president? When Woodrow
Wilson was president there was
a certain assistant secretary of
the treasury who drew pay be-
cause of the success of Our party
and now, they tell me, he vows
he will do all lie can do to wreck
that party, or lessen its chances
for success, if he cannot dictate
its policies. Honest now, what’s
your opinion of him? and would
you follow him?
If boll weevil come from moths
and the moths can be caught by
placing lights in the Helds with
contraptions for ca’eh ng the
moths after being attracted by
the lights, why not try catching
them early in life and save a lot
of worry and troubles? In the
old days farmers put kerosene
torches out and caught tin moths.
The old ideas were good and wo
might profit by going back to
them but use llie modern light,
electricity. Concerted action in
this way would do a lot of good
If farmers in a Urge area ..■mild
agree to work together in this
fight against the boll weevil ai.d
catcli the moths the
could be lessened.
Listen, girls! Take out life in
surance before you ride with |
these one-arm drivers.
News. Be sure the policy is in j more costly it is,
a safe company, too. If you will
permit us to write your policy,
girls, and name us as beneficiary
we will see that you have a nobby
funeral and plenty of flowers.
Alvin M. Owsley, candidate
for the United States Senate
from Texas, has accepted an in-
vitation to make an address in
Throckmorton May 4th, on the
occasion o f the arrival of the
first train over the Cisco &
Northeastern railroad, the new
road being built into that rapid-
ly developing country.
Uncle Frank Jackson of Dal-
las and Carrollton says lie is
going to attend the democratic
convention in Houston and that
he already lias a seat reserved
for himself and friend. He also
says he is going to support the
nominee of the party. Sounds
like an Andrew Jackson demo
crat, and if there were enough of
this sort we could elect a presi-
dent.
We all seem to think that if the
people were educated properly
we would be free from a lot of
ills that beset us. In other
words, if we were properly ed-
ucated we could reasou better
and get along better. War
would be one of the things an
educated person would put the
ban upon. And yet when con-
gress meets it makes heavy ap-
propriations for Army and Navy
upkeep and great gobs of money
are set aside for the building of
huge warships. How much of
your money and my money have[
those fellows appropriated for
education? If you want an edu-
cation hustle for it. If you want
war we will pay for it.

How many of you remember
the pledged delegation which
went to the national convention
from Nebraska in 1912 to the
Baltimore convention? They
were pledged for Champ Clark
and his personal friend, W. J.
Bryan, headed the delegation, if
we remember aright. At the
convention the pledge was brok-
en and Woodrow Wilsonnomiaat-
ed. In view of this and the
open statement made by certain
so called democrats here in Tex-
as that the party pledge amounts
to nothing, why not have the del
egation pledge any old thing the
"fu-sers" want and then do as
you please when you get to Hou-
ston, Honor does not seem to
count in the party doings, so
why have a fuss over it? if a
pledge is not binding why fuss
over it? pledge anything any of
them Want. If the one set have
a right to bolt any time they
want, the other have the samel
right to promise any old thing |
to pacify them and then b:eak
their pledge also.

Tafsy at the Palace
When the Palace Theatre, Dallas,
booked the latest starring pictnre of
the lively young film star, Marion
Davies, for the week starting Satur-
day, April 28, the management did not
know that the stage show for the same
week would contain the most gorge-
ously costumed cast of Broadway
performers ever presented on the
Publix circuit. This combination,
theater critics say, will present to
theatre goers that wee* two hours and
five minutes of applesauce-getting en-
tertainment that will be remembered,
“The Patsy’’is the name of Marion
Davies’ latest vehicle. As a stage play
“The Patsy’’ played a s did year on
Broadway and has been one of the
favorite plays of dramatic stock com-
panies throughout America. The
story has such an universal appeal
that many film companies have been
trying to’ get tho film rights to the
play. It was only a rt«*i* long negotia-
tions that Metro Goldwyj Mayer was
able to secure the play as the film
vehicle of Miss Davies, who film pro-
ducers believe is most admirably
suited to play the leading role of the
film version of the play. The play is
about the modern American family,
and particularly,about the manner in
which this young daughter learns to
charm men. Miss Davies has as her
leading man one of filmdom’s most
popular young stars, Lawrence Gray.
The stage presentation, “The Merry
Widow Revue,’’ besides being not-
able for its brilliant costumes, includ-
es the largest dancing ensemble of
many months which has twelve of the
nimblest dancers from Broadway. Al-
together there are 22 performers of
note in the show. Ken Whitmer has
prepared several popular selection for
thq Palace stage band to play during
the week.
AN ORDINANCE
By the city Council of the City of
Carrollton providing for an award
for the arrest and conviction of any-
one guilty of arson. •
Whereas, the C ity conncil of the
city of Carrollton deems 'it advisable
to offer a reward for the arrest and
conviction of anyone committing
arson within the city limits of the city
of Carrollton:
Therefore be it ordained by the city
council of the city of Carrollton.
1. That the City of Carrollton shall
pay a reward of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) for the arrest and conviction
of anyone guilty of arson within the
corporate limits of said city;
2, That the Mayor and City secre-
tary be instructed and ordered to post
up within said city of Carrollton in
all public buildings a placard show’
ing that such reward is offered by the
city.
The fact that the city is in immedi-
ate need of the relief contemplated in
this ordinance, creates an emergency
and an imperative pubiic necessity,
requiring that the rule that all
ordinances be read at more than
one separate meeting be suspended,
and that this ordinance take effect
from and after its passage.
Passed and approved, this 23rd day
of April, 1928.

There is one motor vehicle for
every 5.13 persons in the United
States, according to information
complied by the Bureau of Pub-
lic- Roads, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Registration of
motor vehicles has increased
enormously in the past three
years, and last year more than
23,000,000 motor vehicles were
registered, the numbers in the
different States ranging all the
way from 25,770 in Nevada to
1,937.018 in New York State. |
Receipts from motor vehicle j
registrations mean substantial
sums for road building and con-
sequently better roads.

Standardization
of Electricity
T ONDONERS have sixty difier-
■^■'ent electric light and power
plants to deal with and thirty nine
different kinds of power. They have
a wide—or wild assortment of
voltages and frequencies. Light
globes and appliances require differ-
ent types of plugs. Confusion results,
and industry is held back.
America is twenty-five years or
more ahead of Europe in prosperity
and living conditions largely because
of the standardization of electricity.
Cross-country lines supply the small
town with electric service equal to
that of the large town--and vastly
superior to that of foggy London.
Texas has electric service equal
to the best available anywhere in
the world -in no small part due to
the development program of this
company which has built its 2,774
miles of transmission lines to meet
requirements of the present and
immediate future.

Farm fires, it is estimated,
cause the death of 3,500 people
every year and a property loss
of approximately $150,000,000.
Fires on the farm are caused in
numerous ways, most of which
are avoidable. Fires caused by
defective chimneys and flues last
year caused a loss of more than
$20,000,000. The careless use of
matches and smoking caused
fires which resulted in a loss of
$9,000,000. Improperly install-
ed heating equipment and care-
less operation caused a loss of
$6,500,000.
