In our family discussion last
evening Buster made: a suggestion
wortii passing on to readers. We
had decided, to gather up all of
the old toys and give them to some
under-privileged children.
I
just half ias much for him as we
had intended to and buy the re-
mainder in new toys for the un-
der-privileged child. Njcw, I tell
you I felt real proud :of the boy
for that suggestion and we are
going to comply with it.
-.May I leave this question for
you to ponder? Why give just the
crumbs to the under-privilege?

The legislature, a special session
starting in September, authorized
the issuance of $5,500,000 in relief
bonds, the action being taken be-
fore the electorate had approv-
ed the issuance of up to $20,000,-

constitutional amendment authoriz-

be taken immediately with refer-

other offers probably were in the
mails. He said the tabulation was
only tentative.
Other members of the commis-
sion, charged with the details of
selling the bonds, are Attorney
General James V. Allred and
Treasurer Charley Lockhart.
This was the second time the
bonds were offered for sale. There
were no bids in response to the
first advertisements offering the
securities,
Elbert Hooper, acting attorney
general, said that on the whole
the commission was gratified by
the bids received.
“With the sale of this. substan-
tial block of bonds to the banks
and citizens, it is felt that a bet-
ter market will be created for the
next sale, which the statute re-
quires, shall be immediately adver-
tised,” Hooper said.
“In view of the fact that one
bid for a large block of the bonds
and a number of substantial bids
were submitted for first and sec-
ond-year maturities, it is probable
that on final tabulation approxi-
mately $250,000 in bids will have
to be rejected in order to comply
with the statute,

There is probably one statement we Sear arotmd the

as our smiling guests are shaking hands with Mr. Cart-

What do they mean? Well, they might be thinking
about the climate. Here In Texas, sunshine is no novelty—
but have you ever tried our sunshine here? We don’t have
any copyright on fresh air—but have you ever stretched
your lung’s over our mountain air at sunrise on a nippy
winter morning? And there are plenty of ways to enjoy
this climate. We’re still playing golf in our shirtsleeves.
And the bass have been taking flies. And the first few days
of the duck season, at daybreak every morning it sounded
like a war.
All these things are right at the city’s doorstep.
It may be our guests after ait, However, are thinking
about the wonderful relaxation, stimulation, yepth-L fica«

bodies a good overhauling, you might say, inside and out,
with Crazy Mineral Water—Nature’s perfect eliminant.

ten years of unnecessary age. Go Lome with an appetite

and cents? Listen:
