At Lions Club
IJr. Hendery Allison was the

son's talk was one of a series of
bioKt'apliical sketches called “How
Come” talks, in which every mem-
of the club is required to partici-
pate and tell of his life background.
Ur. Allison stated that he was
born on a farm in Kentucky, near
Louisville. The family soon moved
to Indianu and it was on a farm
near the Ohio river that Allison
said his boyhood was spent. At the
school lie attended the famous "Me-
Guffey Headers” were used and Ur.
Allison expressed his endorsement
of them as a fine means of instruc-
tion.
Allison went on to tell how he
went to high school at Jefferson-
ville, Ind., and later entered Ken-
tucky University at the age of 16,
deciding upon medicine as his fu-
ture profession. He took his II. A.,
and later Ills M. A. from Kentucky
I'niversity and also studied med-
icine at the University of Louis-
ville, where he received his M. I).
•degree.

ship in a Louisville hospitul and of
going to New York City where he
obtained employement as assistant
; to a physician on Staten Island,

j ination and becoming assistant
; physician at the Manhattan State
Hospital on Ward's Island. He told
• of serving a time in the State Hos-
[ pital and then becoming Sanitary
Inspector in the Tenement House
Department of the City of New
[ York.
Aitison said his health required
,. his leaving New York and lie took
passage on a Mallory steamer and
disembarked at Galveston, thence
going to Valentine in the Big Bend
country where he stayed a short
j time, as also he did at Llano. Leav-
ing West Texas, on hearing of the
pioneer country being opened up at
i Kingsville, he came here. Ur. Al-
* lison told of having seen Kingsville
S grow from a very small village to
the present modern city it now is. j
The speaker stated that his favor-1
ite pastime is to take some time off!
from his professional duties when-i
ever he can and to travel. He said !
his travels so far have taken him I
to the four corners of the country j
and that he hopes to see much
more yet.
Lions Fraser, Corns and Kills1
each made short talks asking the!
members to vote against the Tax I

cation and place a larger burden on j
the small taxpayer. Urogram chair-
man for the day was Lion Robt.

Farm Program Is
Heard by Rotary
Declaring the sight of hundreds i
of boys and girls in attendance at |
A. & I. Short Course was an inspi-
ration to him to work for an insti-1
tut ion that would be of greater val-
ue in leaching the youth of South
Texas the practical, worth-whilo
things that make for better citizen- j
ship, and particularly for content-!
ment in rural life, J. O. Loftin, |
president of the college here, ad-
dressing the Rotary Club yester-!
day, pledged himself to cooperate j
with all the friendly forces of
South Texas in enlarging and ex-j
tending the short course program.
Comparing the conditions of two\
of the long-settled counties of the i
State, wiiieh adjoin, the speaker '
painted the picture of desolation in
one and of peace and contentment '
in tile other. In the first county, I
the owners of once fertile acres;
have moved to town to send hoys |
and girls to college. They have left
their once fine country homes to!
fall Into decay, and are driving
their tenunt farmers to plant cot- i
ton to the door step of their tumble !
down shacks. In town, the land-
lord and his family are unhappy \
as the reduced farm Income cuts |
down the measure of city stan-
dards of extravagance they have
set up. On the farm, the tenant is
poorly paid and unhappy.
In/the adjoining county are good
farm homes, many with every
modern convenience. The fertility
of the fields has boon preserved
through intelligent farm methods.
The families there are happy 111
I heir self-made defense against de-
pressions. Their security lies In
(heir practical knowledge of the
farm and Its problems. To the
work of disseminating such know-1
lodge the president of A. & 1.1
would dedicate his institution. I
"Much of this Liberal Art tiling !
needs to be cut away from the
curriculum of our schools. We
learned'it because we had to, nnd
we pass it on to our children be-
cause we had to take it against
our wills. When a child of six, in
its first year at school, welcomes
with glee a holiday even in the
first week of the term, there’s
something wrong with the school”,
Loftin said.
Loftin (was presented by County
Agent Wilkinson, who was In
charge of the Rotary program for
the day. Wilkinson spoke In lau-
datory terms of the administra-
tion's agricultural program which
he termed “a program of adjust-
ment and not of reduction”.
Statistical information on the
benefits to the county by reason of
the "New Deal” In agriculture were
given by It. R. Gibb, cotton admini-
stration assistant to the County
Agent, who stated that the total
monies paid and to he paid this
year to Kleberg County farmers
through the cotton and hog-corn
programs would total *89,000. Gibb
stated that the extra cost of local
administration in the county pro-
gram was $1964, or approximately
$4 per Kleberg County farm.

Brahmas Meet Robs-
town Here Friday
The annual grid battle between
the Kingsville High School Brah-
mas and the Robstown Cottonpick-
ers Is scheduled to take place on
A. & I. field Friday evening, Nov.
9th, at 8 o'clock.
The Robstown band, the Red
Peppers, snappy pep squad of the
Robstown school, and hundreds of
fans from that city are to be here
for the game. The Kingsville pep
squad, in bright new military uni-
forms, will be on hand to inspire
the local football warriors, and the
game promises to exceed In inter-
est and colorful setting any game
of t lie season on the local field, not
excepting the eollegp contests.
The Cottonplckers have beaten
the local herd for more years than
Kingsville fans like to think about,
but the record of the two teams in
conference performances this year
gives a decided edge to the Brah
mas, and the expectation of seeing
a Brahma herd trample the pickers
will account for muny a gladly
paid admission from the ranks of
the local fans.

“Hail King Cotton”
Show At Short Course
The Style Show presented by
Miss Catherine Klolse Cleveland,
Consumer Consultant for the Cot-
ton Textile Institute, New York
City, on Tuesday afternoon was a
splendid opening for the general
meetings of the Homemakers' Div-
ision of the A. & I. Short Course.
The great variety of the mater-
ials In color, texture, nnd design
showed the possibilities of cotton
materials as nothing else could
have done. The several thousands
of people who viewed tin1 exhibit
will not soon forget that our South
Texas Cotton may he used to
create materials for every need.
Some forty A. Ai I. co-eds were
models for the dresses which Miss
Cleveland brought as a part of the
exhibit. There were costumes for
every occasion and every hour
during the day.
Now that Miss Cleveland has
been to South Texas nnd has seen
our need of cotton materials it is
sincerely hoped that she will come
hack in the spring for a cotton
pageant. Miss Cleveland Is a Mas-
ter Showman and we want her to
come hack and show in more cot
ton materials.

mined for another wlp.

The Head Hunter* of Ohio
In view of the criminality of
most of the early squatters on Ohio
soli, nnd escaped criminals who
wo'bld not stop on the frontier of
Ohio hut go to the savages and
tiring them hack to murder and roll
the legitimate settlers, General
Wilkinson In 1792 Issued orders
that if any soldier deserted In the
direction of the Indians, scouts were
to pursue him and tiring hack his
head. For such service the scouts
received $40. With the general'*
order was this grim comment: "One
head lopped off In this way and set !
upon n pole on the parade might
do lasting good In the way of de
(erring others.'•
