THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
RUBBER CAMPAIGN
Since somfc very unpatrlo-
tic criticism hns been heard
in reference to the cam-
paign it lias been deemed
advisable to present here
the truth about the hantll-
ing of the scrap rubber.
No local person is malting
a penny out of the cam-
pnign. In fact service sta-
lion operation arc waiting
on those who bring in rub-
ber entirely at their own ex-
pense.
Oil company consignees
and agents are picking upthe scrap at these stations
and hauling it to conccntra-
tlon points for shipping en-
tirclv at their own expense.
The price of lc per pound
is standard throughout the
nation.
Major oil companies who
arc financing the purchase
with their own funds and
doing the bookkeeping at
their own expense have con-
" traded to sell thi3 rubber
directly to the government
at S25.00 per ton or Vtc
r pound.
From the extra onc-quar-
tcr nt per pound these
tmjnlcs will deduct only
tJws actual expenses incur-
iwl la handling and ship-

Announces For Sheriff
A large number of citizens
from all part3 of Bell County
have urged me to make the race
for sheriff. On account of the
influx of people from all parts
of the country and the growing
increase in the population of
Bell county a large number of
citizens who havti urged me to
make the race at this time; be-
lieve that Bell county will need
as sheriff a man who has had
ample experiunce as an officer
to give the people of Bell coun-
ty the very best protection that
can be had for their lives and
property. If I did riot believe
that my experience as an officer
qualified me for the job then I
ould not offer myself as a" can
didate1. . s. . - v;
Those '.vho have insisted upon
my entering the race believe
hat it is not a question of who
should be sheriff but a question
of who could render the most ef-
ficient service to the people of
Bell county under the conditions!
mat we are to nave ior ine next
few years. I am not so conceit
ed that l think that l am the
only man that could handle the
job for there are other men in
Bell county who could render as
efficient service as I if not bet-
ter. However if elected your
?henff I shall cooperate with
the local officers of Bell county
as Well as with the state and fed-
eral officers and will give to
the ' people of this county the
very best that I have as an of-
ficer. No sheriff regardless of hW
fifficient-nn officer he may be
can solve every mystery or
capture every criminul. Howevr
if you will check back oil my
rcord as your sheriff you will

137 Cars Onions :
Shipped From Bartleil
Bartlett onion growers ship
ped 137 cars of -onions in the
harvest season closed lasf week . -according
to the records of A. T;
Freeman local M.K.T agent.
Twenty or more cars the exact
number of which is not known?
went out by truck
. It -has been 'reliably estimated:
that 5 cars of onions are &till .
in the field and will never be- -hnrvesfctdj
because of the diffi- .
cu.Hy of finding a market and-
because tho price is so low tht
farmers can not pay for ti&
harvesting and make any profit
The harvesting season lasted.
88- days which is longer than .
in 'any 'previous- year.- Numbers
of Mexicans Wore here . during;'
that 'time to harvest the crop'
and they spent a great deaTef
their earnings with Iqcal nua
