connecting link between co-operative
bodies and this latter sentiment is in-
corporated in the following notes of
appreciation from Missouri Pacific of-

understanding and friendliness be-

M. 0. M1LLIKEN ASKS
FOR RE-ELECTION
M. O. Milliken, who lias served the
people of Precinct No. One, the Kings-
ville precinct, faithfully and well for a
number of years, announces this week
for re-election to this office. Mr. Milli-
ken modestly refers to the service
rendered the county during his terms
of office as tlie best claim he has in
asking for re-election. During these
years he lias advocated a constructive,
progressive administration of county
affairs, yet has insisted that the peo-
ple’s money be expended in the most
economical manner consistent with
(lie policies of an expanding and pro-
gressive community. In the formation
of a new county, multitudinous tilings
come up for consideration before the
commissioners court. Roads necessar-
ily are one of the big considerations,
and Kleberg county literally had to bo
lifted out of the mud. Roads were lit-
tle more than cattle trails, with no
grades, no drainage and there was no
machinery with which to improve
these roads.
During Mr. Milliken’s administra-
tion roads all over the county have
been vastly improved, in fact improv-
ed to such an extent that it is now
possible to go almost anywhere in the
county even during the worst spells of
weather. In his precinct there were
unusual problems to be overcome, as
the roads leading east from town
were black land to a large extent and
badly drained. All of them have been
gruded, all drained and the Angle
road has been covered with caliche
to within a short distance of the city
limits, all of the woi k having been
done out of the regular funds appro-
priated for that purpose.
Mr. Milliken believes that he should
have at least two more years in the
offise that he may. complete some of
the work contemplated. During the
past two years some eight thousand
dollars has been expended for road
machinery and trucks and it has been
impossible to do very much actual
work on the roads. But witli the ma-
chinery purchased and paid for, the
above amount of money will not be
necessary in the future and can he ex-
pended upon the roads themselves. ‘‘I
believe,” said Mr. Milliken, “that dur-
ing the next two years, with the ma-
chinery already purchased, I can take
the available road money for this pre-
cinct and improve every road in the
entire precinct.”

will broadcast from station KWWG
(Brownsville) next Thursday, March
4th. The club will be in the Valley
that week, singing four evening con-
certs at Mercedes, Weslaco, Browns-
ville and Rio Hondo. It is probable
that afternoon concerts will also be
arranged for some other valley towns.
The Treble Clef Club now has a
program for an entire evening’s enter-
tainment, and two out-of-town appear-
ances have already been made. Soon
I think it is worth reading.
“Here is the best argument I have
ever heard for sufe farming in Texas:
At a typical county seat in North Tex-
as, tlie first week in February a meet-
ing was held, attended by about two
hundred farmers, bankers and lead-
ing business men of the town. Several
addresses were made on the present
cotton crisis and the danger of fur-
ther losses from another big cotton
crop.
Finally one of the bankers present

The East Ward P. T. A. had its re-
gular business session and a splendid
program under the direction of Mrs.
J. J. Robertson was given Friday Feb-
ruary 19th. A silver tea was also plan-
ned for this occasion. Tlie program as
printed in last week’s paper was car-
ried out. The musical numbers given
by Mrs. Leon Fritts, violinist, and
Prof. Engle, vocal instructor at the
college, was very much enjoyed. Miss
Baugh gave a short but very interest-
ing talk, which was appreciated by
both teachers and parents. The college
influence in the local schools is being
already felt and as Miss Baugh stated
it is only tlie beginning.
The patriotic talk by Dr. Dawson
was thoroughly enjoyed and to use the
expression of one lady present,
"was’nt too long or too short—splen-
did ideas given in a straight-forward
manner—just right.”
The reading given by Mary Eliza-
beth Carr was very much enjoyed,
showing tlie little lady at her ease,
and already familiar with the art of
entertaining folks.
Mrs. Flenner who has delighted au-
diences before with her readings, gave
a selection, in costume, as requested
—a delightful injection of mild satire
mingled with sentiment—all compos-
ing a much enjoyed conclusion to an
excellent program.
Roll call resulted in the third grade
being winner with 14 mothers present.
A total sum of $10 was received at
the door. Tea was served in the hall
by the committee, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. T.
G. Ferguson and Mrs. Carr, these
ladies deserving thanks for the deli-
cious refrshments.

the present day farmer’s needs to assist in the cost of production_
