Commenting on this

TOMORROW IS GOOD FRIDAY
The duststovm* staged a comeback
Wednesday and drove the Gulf rain-
cleadt back before tho latter reach-
ed the arid regions to replenish the
light moisture that has fallen there
daring the past few weeks. The re-
wit is that some sections have too
much moisture and other parts of
the country too much wind and sand
and too little rain.
The battle is still on and another
golley-washer may visit old Hopkins
soon as the Gulf clouds in West Tex-
as, New Mexico and Oklahoma renew
the battle. ^" ( ■
In the meantime, tomorrow is Good
Friday, the day for the post toastv

other wMt»-collared gardeners to
plant beans and other garden sas.
They say the ground i» too wet, and
maybe it is. The ground it always
too wet or too dry, the weather al-
ways too eold or too hot for them,
with the result their gardens are
mostly grown up in bermuda grasj,
jimpson weeds, sandburra, grass nuts
and nut grass. Many of them have
gone into the dairy business and are
asking for federal aid in the purchase
of a cow and pig for their goad wive*
to look after while they join the.alt-
down strikers.
The weather man has forecast
more shower* oVer tho, weekend.
Plant your garden seed near top of
the,ground. Jt will not injure the
soil and Ihe »eed will tome up. This
is what opr neighbor, Frank Tate,
champion gardener down on Church
St., is doing .while Ed 1. Palmer and.
Rev. Clark Russell spend much of
their time adYisipg dirt farmers and
dirt gardeners and wait for the ram*
to cease. Their theory is that what-
ever is worth doing is worth doing
right. Ail of which is true, but they
are not doipg anything in thejr gar
dens, , , , a
That is ail except that polities
continues to m«ke strange bedfel-
lows. If Poitmsster Jim Farioy had
come to Texas a few years ago and
had been met by the Catholic Priest,
some of the old-time Ku Kluxes
around Sulphur Spring* might have
threatened to beat up the Echo man

Kluxers gre now in the bed .with Mr.
Weakly **yathe Texas cotton Is aeti
ly all shipped abroad—that America
manufacturers get their cotton most,
ly from other States. The Weekly be.
Have* the handicap to southern cot.
t$n, including Texas, is that ourfor-
eitrn customers have to overcome th-J
American tariff wall, and that they
arft buying cotton elsewhere because
of that. One bale to the worker fft
Brazil, three workers to a bale hr In-
dia, says. tlje Wjeekly, is the average
production, while in America five
bales to the worker is the rule, this
giving the American eottoh worker
a much jtigher wage and providing
'successful competition with those
other countries if it were- placed cm
fair terms.
This seem* reasonable, and it is a
condition that can be remedied and
must be remedied if Texas and the
other southern States are to have
fair share of income for labor and
capital. Hie establishment of factor,
ies in Texas will not relieve the sit
uation except in part. The Weekly
says 800,000 persons are employed
In Texas in cotton production and,
only two other States, Pennsylvania
and New York, employ that number
In manufacturing. Coaid Texas in
crease it* manufacturing three-fold
It would give employment to only
half that number, and no amount of
advertising, as proposed in a bill fr-
action by the Legislature, would pro-
duct that increase in anything like
the near future.—-I'aris News.
The Capitol
Jig-Saw
By Howard C. Marshall,
A. P. Corresponds*!
COUNTY UNE NEWS
Austin.—The advent of Ram Hous-
ton Allred was attended by milch
ipore publicity than usually accom-
panies the birth of a baby.
Several hours before he was horn,
the Capitol pre»s room was receiving
“preparedness” data, his arrival was
bulletined over Wires of press serv-
ices a few minutes after it occurred
and three hours later he was photo-
graphed and hie picture rushed oy
plane to the big daily newspaper*.
Sam Houston took it all very calm-
ly, sleeping peacefully in a silk-lined
crib, or basket,, or whatever is used
’for *uch naps in modern days and
in gubernatorial mansions. Even tha
flash of the photographer who took"
his first picture failed to disturb him.
His proud father, in dressing gown
after a sleepless night, was the only
person who shared that "first” with
him.
Soon after the news of his birth
clattered to all sections of the State
over high-speed teletypes, telegram-,
of congratulations began pouring
into the mansion and the Governor’s
office. They were very quiet offices,
for the Governor had “taken off” for
the day and only his secretary-, Mrs.
Alma Alhert, occupied the suite on
the second floor. ,
Mrs. Albert was the liaison be-
tween the mansion and the press cor-
respondents, keeping the latter accu-
rately posted. Said one of her “ad-
vance” bulletins: "The new arrival
is due at the mansion almost any
time now.” A few minutes after thq
birth came the news in this form:
“Sam Houston Allred, third sen of
Governor Slid Mrs. Allred, was born
in the Sam Houston room at 10:21
this morning.”
There was immediate disagreement
aftout the Capitol over the desirabil-
ity of naming the baby “Sam Hous-
ton.” Most took the view it was the
Governor’s and Mrs. Allred’s private
busifliis, but one young woman ex-

several have been named for him.
If the baby had been a girl, she
would have had a sipiiTa’r name. Sl)c
would have been named Betsy after

worked out ahead of time.
In addition to, being the second
boy born into a Governor's family ir

other distinction. He weighed nine
pounds, which was more poundage
than that of either of his brothers si
birth. The Allred children are James
Jr., 7, and David, 4.
The first boy born there was the
