THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
We all know people
who are all their lives
announcing that they
are going to do a cer-
tain thing, but they
never get at it. They
are always waiting for
the mast favorable op-
portunity , for just the
right tools. — Orison
Sweet Marden.
I shall try to correct
errors when shown to
be errors, and I shall
adopt new views so fast
as they shall appear to
be true views.
—Abraham Lincoln.
It’s only those who
do nothing who make
no mistakes.
—J. Conrad.
I must do something
to keep my thoughts
fresh and growing.
—James A. Garfield.

Little Bobby was sitting

"Why are you crying,

SEEDS
There’s, the radish and the okra and the
mustard and the beet,
The turnip, cabbage, carrot, and believe me
they’re good to eat;
Some beans and peas and roasting ears, to-
matoes, squash and cukes,
A meal composed of vegetables is fit for
Lords and Dukes.
Of course the most of these right now are a
little hard to get,
But buy some seeds and plant them, it’ll just
be a little bit>
Until you’ll have the vegetables, and melons
on the vine,
And you can get just any seeds you want by
calling Number Nine.

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer, United Press Correspondent)
in Texas last year were caused
Austin, Tex., April 5. (UP)
—Until mid-summer or later,
those who must obey the laws
passed by the 45th Legislature
cannot read them all in a single
volume.
As a general rule, a law
does not take effect until 90
days after adjournment of a
legislative session. Three
months are considered suffi-
cient time for people to learn
a new law before it is en-
forced.
The modern pace is more
swift. Two-thirds of the bills
passed by a legislature carry
emergency clauses. Such
clauses put the act into effect
immediately when signed by
the governor—if both houses
pass the bills by two-third ma-
jorities.
If citizens, business heads
and the courts had to wait for
the official volume of laws af-
ter each legislature, many
would be in force before the
official secretary of state pub-
lication is available.
Worth • Ray, former Dallas
legislators, has supplied this
interim need for many years.
He issues “Ray’s Session
Laws,” publishing volumes at
intervals during each session.
Volume One for the 45th Leg-
islature was issued this week.
It has 72 pages, mostly in
small type.
Scope of the law is indicated
in the index. It begins with
“Actions” and ends with
“Workmen's Compensation.”
Between the two titles are 119
topics, some with a dozen sub-
heads, upon which there was
legislation this session prior to
March 17.

Sam Houston Allred, third
son of Gov. and Mrs. James V.
Allred, is not the first to bear
that name. It was given to a
man in (Hillsboro, who is no
relation to the youngest mem-
bers of the governor’s family.
Governor Allred said his son
would be called “Sam” by the
family.
“All my sons will have plain
names,” said the governor.
The oldcfet boy is named
James and the second, David.
The father is determined that
his sons wlil have none of the
trouble caused by an unusual
initial. He revealed that while
his signature is “James V. All-
red” he has an unused initial.
—UP—
Men never get over their
yearning to play with toy
trains. Sedate senators are no
exceptions,—as was illustrated
at a recent session of the senate
committee on state affairs.
A bill to limit freight trains
to 70 cars was up for consider-
ation. Joe Steadham of Fort
Worth, legislative representa-
tive for the workers, brought
from his black satchel a string
of toy engines, cars and ea-
table abont which the commit-
tee was gathered. Steadham,
railroad brotherhood agent,
pulled the tiny trains back and
forth to show how “slack” op-
erates in large trains. The ar-
ranged three sizes of cars and
engines in parallel rows to
show how trains had increased
both in size and length.
This part of the demonstra-
tion got close attention. When
he concluded, the senators
pushed the trains back and
forth—then approved the bill.
Martin Deutsch chose the
governor’s birthday to make a
cast for the bust of Allred he
is making. Deutsch molded
while the governor worked at
his office in the capitol.
Deutsch said he was making
busts of the President and that
his group would include “Pres-
idential timber.”
“I’m flattered," said All-
red.
If that flattered him. his
pride was due for a fall a few
minutes later when he received
a letter addressed to "Gover-
nor Dan Moody.”
Friends teased Allred con-
siderably about that letter and
took an opportunity to jibe him
about another letter which he
innocently made public. It was
from the U. S. postoffice de-
partment, listing 30 anplicants
for
by heart disease and pneu-
monia, according to statistics
compiled by Dr. George W.
Cox, state health officer.
Heart disease was first with
9,400 victims. Following in
order were pneumonia, acci-
dents, apoplexy, tuberculosis,
infant diseases cancer, and
Bright's disease.
Dr. Cox considered signifi-
cant the continued advance in
the number of accidental
deaths. Ten years ago, acci-
dents were not listed among
the first ten causes of death in
Texas. Today they rank third,
and only three years ago acci-
dents were in sixth place.
The cheerful note in the fig-
ures, he said, is the continued
decline in the tnbercuiaaia
death rate. Fifteen yean ago,
that was the leading cause of
death in Tezas, while today it
ranks fifth. Three yean ago
it was third.
According to the Interstate
Progress, published at Logana-
portt, a group of Logansport
citizens are offering a nice
cash bonus to be paid the Steb-
binger crew if the well on the I
A. Hancock survey is brought I
in as a producer.
A fishing job has delayed
operation at Hie well for the i
past several days, but inform- j
ation states that the crew met
with success Friday in com-
pleting the task with the ex-
ception of removing a drill
stem collar. The test holds the
spotlight of this East Texas
section.

Jacksonville, Tex., April 3.
—The damage done to the
farms in the area by the freeze
last week was not as bad as
was expected.
Most of the tomato crop was
saved, but the frost killed most
of the Eiberta peaches and
that crop will be short. It was
reported that farmers have
cared for their plants during
the severe weather and there
will be no big losses.
