Weatherman Lawrence Dainger-
field proposes to equip army air*
planes with sirens so that they can
fly over the danger area and, in a
few minutes, warn thousands to seek
places of safety.
In the hun-icane on August 13,
many residents and visitors along the
coast and in out-of-the-way commun-
ities and settlements failed to receive
news of the approaching storm soon
enough to give them time to prepare
for it.
Warnings sent out by telephone,
telegraph and over radio stations,
failed to reach many such sections.

sons, at Barstow in West Texas. Af-
ter a few weeks’ observation and rec-
reation, drinking in that wholesome
atmosphere and enjoying western
scenery, he writes to his friends back
home as follows:
To My Friends
I’m somewhere in the golden west.
On a great terrestial flat;
But someone knowing the country
best,
Will have to tell where I am at.
It cannot be where “west begins";
It here but seems the western
dawn;
Still farther west the west extends.
And the sun sets father on.
I’m wondering what the first man said
Who found this land forlorn;
No native tree to shade his head;
Austin, Texas, Sept. 12.—A meas-;
ure which is classed as a minor bill,
but in which the farmers of Texas
^ are interested, is the bill which has
just passed the House exempting
farmers and members of their fami-
lies from the payment of the $>3.00
chauffeur’s license fee for the opera-
tion of farm trucks. This bill is, in ef-
fect, a tax relief measure, in that it
eliminates this item of expense for
farmers.
I hope this measure is passed by I
the Senate and signed by the Gov-
ernor. Those interested in this law-
should advise their Senator to sup-
port the bill

At least there is a good season in

Just about the time the people be-

prices for cotton, wheat and other
farm grown products are advancing,
their hopes take a sudden set-back
by reports that prices have declined.
The hum of the gins sounds good,
and would sound better if the price
of cotton was better. This week the
prices have been disappointing, as it
dropped off some ten dollars per bale
from what it sold for last week. We

MOHAIR FOR TARPAULINS
Angora Journal (Portland, Ore. > —
Considerable weights <>f mohair are
being used for making saddle girths
in South Africa, and possibility of
making tarpaulins of mohair is be-
ing considered, R. P. Hannatn states
that specifications have been sup-
plied by courtesy of the general man-
ager of South African railways and
harbors, as applied to flax sheeting
canvas as used by Tape railways.
Description of yarns (single and dou-
ble weave), the colored line thread
for identification, weight, count of
yarns, test on tensile strength (the
warp being required to stand a strain
of 260 pounds, the woof 350 pounds.)
These flax tarpaulins are ordered in
quantities as high as 300,()00 yards,
made by British mills. Mohair would
doubtless give better service on a cot-
ton warp, but linen may be used. It
will be interesting to note results
from this proposed use of mohair.
Suggestion is being made to the
mills at New Braunfels, Texas, es-
tablished by grower initiative, that
such weaves might be produced in
the new mill, cotton being abundant
for warps. Mr. Hannam says: “There
should not be much difference be-
tween the cost of flax as compared
with raw mohair today, and it is just
a question whether it is really very
much more costly to make the tar-

GARNER ON WAY TO
JOIN HIS CAMPAIGN CHIEF
San Antonio, Sept. 12.—John N.
Garner, Democratic candidate for
vice president, passed through San
Antonio tonight en route to Kansas
City, Mo.,, where he said he would
meet Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
democratic candidate for president,
for a conference.
Gamer said he would accompany'
Governor Roosevelt to Topeka, Kas.,
and from there would go to Washing-
ton.
When Garner was asked when he
would open his campaign tour, he
stated:
“That is probably one of the mat-
ters Governor Roosevelt and I will
discuss.”
The Record seems to have said the j
Wrong thing in a recent issue when it ;
was intimated that our chances for a j
winning high school football team j
this season was not so favorable. We
are glad to hear we were wrong in
this prediction. It nowto comes to us
that our chances look even better for
a winning team than last season.
Many of the youngsters who were
subs last season have put on weight
and are about one year older and a
number of recruits that look good
have been added after some days
training under their efficient coach,
Bill McCluney. We are advised that
the team is shaping up and looking
good.

A number of Clifton citizens joined

Bosque county last Friday in a spe-
cial meeting with the Commissioner’s
Court at Die court's special invita-
tion for the purpose of discussing
ways and means of keeping the coun-
ty agent and home demonstration
agent after January 1st, 1933. In
fef making up the budget for the com-
ing year the court found that it
med impossible to include an ap-
propriation for this service. It is

continue this service to the people of

runs about $300,000,000 a year, in
half.
That is the suggestion in an article
in Safegoarding America Against
Fire. The American people could take
upon themselves no finer project. In
these days of distress, a half-billion
dollar waste is unthinkable, and even
that seems a small matter in the
light of the fact that fire destroys
10,000 lives annually.
This year Fire Prevention Week
will be observed from October 9 to
15. It will open with proclamations
from the President of the United
States and from governors of states,
mayors of cities and other officials.
Chambers of Commerce, fire depart-
ments, trade associations and state
fire prevention groups will give ev-
ery effort to instructing the public
in fire hazards and their elimination.
Each of us will have the chance to
learn, pleasantly and painlessly! If
we fail, we have shirked a duty to
the community.
