For STATE SENATOR
ED WESTBROOK
FISHING LAWS
Ed Westbrook, who is a candidate
for a second term for State Senator
for this, district, makes the following-
statement:
“The last regular session of the
Legislature enacted into law my bill
creating a Dairy Experiment Station
for our Senatorial District. !I secured!
an appropriation of about $60,000 to
start it in operation. Essential items
were eliminated from the bill biy the
veto of the Governor; making it nec-
essary to secure an a-d tional appro-
priation to start- it ‘to f nction.ng. I
want to return to the Senate in order
to restore these items, obtain a lar-
ger oppropriation ard add to Dairy-
ing. Poultry, Livtstock, Pecan Grow-
ing and General Agricultural Pro-
ducts; which would make our station
the largest in Texas and one of the
largest in the South. Thert is no
greater service anyone could render
you at this time, and' I believe I can
finish my work better than someone
else. I am a member of eleven of
•the most important committed^ of
the Senate, which coupled with my
experience would enable me to suc-
cessfully terminate this great work,
which would contribute so much to
the progress and prosper'ty of our
people.
Ed Westbrook.

In some pla):-qs landowners have
been resentful and assertedi that no
one should enter their premises to
get to a stream to fish. To clarify
the situation M/r,. Hobbit, Attorney
General, makes the following state-
ment:
“The law makes it a misdemeanor
for a person to enter upon the en-
closed] landls of another, without the
consent of the owner, proprietor or
agent in charge thereof, and therein
hunt with fixearms or thereon catch
or attempt to catch any fish.’
The question was whether a per-
son violated the law refer red] to, so
that he could be arrested and prose-
cuted thereunder, by merely travel-
ing across the premises of a private
landowner in order to reach a public
stream where, under the law, the per-
son so traveling might have a legal
right to leh.
“The opinion given was that where
a person did nothing more than cross
the premises of a. private landowner
to get to a, public stream to fish, he
did not commit a criminal offense.
The opinion given did1 not in anywise
attempt to construe or pass on the
private property rights of landowners
whose property ilS adjacent to public
streams.
Private landowners have the right
to post and; prohibit tresspassing on
their property. The public, of course,
does not have the right to enter on
and cross the enclosed and ■ posted!
premises of landowners in order to
enjoy fishing rights.
While the public generally has- the
right to fish in the public waters of
the State, where not prohibited by
law, it must exercise this right in
such a manner as not to encroach on
the property rights of private citi-
zens. Property owners, of course,
are under no duty or obligation to
permit the public to trespass on their
yrop,er)y in do reaich public
waters where fishing may be done.
SULPHUR, OKLAHOMA
Sulphur, Oklahoma, is still quite
popular with a lot of folks. ‘Those
who are sick seek its waters much
after the aimer of the people of
thp Bible times, who were healed by
the waters of-that day.
Already folks are goi.ng to Sul-
phur. but July and Agust are the
months that see them there—it is a
little to cool now and by Septem-
ber he nights are getting so cool
there that it is too uncomforable.
You know in the Good Book men-
tion is made of the woman at the
well, who the Saviour told He could
give ‘her of the waters of life eter-
tremely invigorating.
Uncle Slam likes some beauty, as
he goes along, so he has laid out a
winding roadway, up Rock Greek,
which is the most beautiful drive in
all that section. If you go ever
there, try the loop. You will never
regret itt.
When the Creator had made
great many things, on the day He
was happy with it all he made Pen-
nington River. He took boulders of
mense size and cast them along the
path of the purling waters of this
most beautiful stream, for the wa-
‘;ers: ti go dashing over, much after
the waters att Lodore, of which the
poet tells us, and with a lavish hand
He lined he banks of the stream
with beautiful trees. Add to this
azure skies such as seen Sunday,
and one has a picture that no artist
can paint—only a God of divine wis-
dom could make!
The Devil’s Den
Just why such a terribly ugly
name should be given such a Gar-
den of the Gods is beyond one’s rea-
nal. Hope springs eternal in the hu-
zoning, but that is the name it goe.
at Sulphur can cure them, and they
go there—let us hope they are bene?
fited, but in reason we know that
many of them have been marked by
the Pale Horseman, and the day on
which they will go hence is only a
short way off.
Uncle Sam saw early that Hot
Springs was something he ought to
held on to so he took it over. He
did the same thing, when he fonnd
out the wonderful things about the
water at Sulphur—he took charge of
the springs. He, this Uncle Sam,
has had the waters analyzed on
basis of a million parts, and he has
the various ingirediehi|. on a bill-
board over each spring—too long to
he copied here.
On the theory that medicine to be
good must taste bad, JThis is the
most wonderful water in the woild
and if smelling worse than an egg
that ha,s lost the bloom of youth
will add anything to its curative
powers it ought to raise the dead.
But the sulphur artesian wells at
Sulphur are a never-ending source
of wonder. They flow unceasingly
dayy and night, and yet the supply
of water seems never to di minish
there are several swimming pods
where folks go is swimming, and
that is certainly fine. Others are
nit strong enough for such exeicise
so they content themselves with tak-
ing baths in the water, which has
been heated to a temperature that
suits them. If cne is healthy, a
swim in the sulphur water, although
it is fearfuly cold, even in summer,
i,s delightful. It does not depress
some folks, like the hot water sul-
phur wells of South Texas sometimes
do but on the other hand are ex-
65 Teams and Chorus of 200
Will Help Dedicate Home
Left, Mrs. Dora Alexander Talley, Omaha, Nebr., national secre-
tary of the Woodmen Circle. Center, Mrs. Mary E. LaRocca, Omaha,
national president. Right, Mrs. Etta Davidson, Houston, national
director and state supervisor of Texas. “All roads will lead to Sher-
man” for the dedication of the society’s new Home for Aged Members
and Orphan Children, June 25, 26 and 27.
A chorus of 200 will sing at the
sunrise ceremony to be held in
Sherman at 6 a. m. Wednesday,
June 25, when the American
Legion of that city presents a flag-
pole and flag to the Woodmen
Circle’s recently-opened Home for
Aged Members and Orphan Chil-
dren.
The chorus will be gleaned from
among the best singers among the
several thousand people from all
parts of the country coming to
Sherman to take part in the
Homecoming Dedication June 25,
26 and 27. Mrs. Margaret G.
Meadows of Fort Worth, national
chaplain, will be in charge of the
sunrise service. Her son, Cecil
Meadows, director of the Shrine
band of Fort Worth, will direct
the chorus.
At 9 a. m. on June 25 the comer
stone laying will be held and at
10 o’clock in the morning the
formal dedication will take place.
It will be an impressive moment
when Mrs. Mary E. LaRocca of
Omaha, Nebr., national president,
dedicates the first building of the
Home to the protection of the
weak.
Mrs. Dora Alexander Talley of
Omaha, Nebr. but formerly of
Garland, Tex., national secretary,
will take an official part in the
ceremonies together with all the
national officers of the society.
With the precision of a soldier
and the grace of a dancer at least
65 drill teams, coming from Texas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Indiana, Idaho, Ohio, Alabama,
New Mexico and Nebraska, will
present a colorful team frolic
Thursday evening, June 26, in the
stadium of the Red River Valley
fair. Included among them will
be a Mississippi team consisting
entirely of children.
There’ll be a “click click”, many
capes flying, and varied colored
uniforms in smart array, for more
than 1000 persons will take actual
part in the team frolic. Mrs.
Jeanie Willard of Denison, na-
tional drill instructor, will be in
charge.
Six of the society’s national of-
ficers are from Texas. They are
Mrs. Henrietta A. Thomas, nation-
al junior past president, Fort
Worth, Mrs. Maggie Hyde, nation-
al treasurer, Dallas, Mrs. Etta
Davidson, national auditor and
state supervisor, Houston, Mrs.
Laura Krebs, member of the na-
tional legislative committee, Aus-
tin, and Mrs. Willard and Mrs.
Meadows.
The Home will be open to
visitors during the afternoon and
a public reception will be held in
the evening of June 25.
Sherman will give a barbecue
for all who come on the first day
of the celebration.
It is fitting that the Texas
“Trail Blazer” who knocked at
many doors more than a quarter
of a century ago has contributed
the stately doorway of the Home.
She is Mrs. Henrietta A. Thomas,
who before the turn of the century
was pioneering in the work of the
society in the Blue Bonnet state.
Texas field workers, numbering
thirty-six, have won trips to the
dedication in recognition of their
field work records.
HAVING ENEMIES
If you havt enemies it is because
you are an enemy to them. The law
if love is never-failing, and it is im-
possible fox one to long continue to
hate you, ,f you have nothing hut
love for him. How great was our
r.( stake c uiirg Li e war (spreading
thought of hatred of our enemies'in
tht war! Of course, it has all re-
acted upon ourselves and is today
the cause of much of our present
unrest and sorrow, Whoever you
hate, it matters not who it is, you
will pay the penalty for, it. ..Only a
lew days ago I talked with a splen-
did mother whose onfy .son wa® a
no del buy ux to the tint he entered
the army. He had been especially
rained in hatred for the Germans,
both his mother and father, while
good veop'.e and well-meaning in all
ways, had thought it a part of thtir
patriotic duty to teai'h. the boy ha-
red for the enemy. This hoy was
so filled with venom and hatred that
sin e he came homt he ,'s almost un-
bearable. He constantly shows his
hatred in various ways. Nothing
ever pleases him, ht talks hatred
and acts, it daily. He is even exceed-
ngly unkind to his old mother and
fathtr. And why ? Simply ‘because
■ is heart is filled with hatred in-
stead; of love. If you have hatred in
your heart, it wall show in all your
acts, in your speech.
ROGERS ON THE AIR
We have been listening once a week
to Will Roger® on the radio in his
twelve talks he iis giving. Most of
these 15 minute talks have been giv-
en at Hollywood, California but Will
took an airplane fiigrt to New York
and delivered the last one from there
on prohibition, the week before be
mg' on Henry Fordi and the week be-
fore that on Morrow', the father-in-
law of Lindy who married Annie.
These radio talks are put on by
Squibhs, the drug people in New York
who manufacture about 70 different
preparations. They are broadcast
over the Columbia Broadcasting* Sys-
tem, KRLD at Dallas being the near-
est station in that chain. These talks
of Rogerc are being published in a
pamphlet form and will be sent out
by the Squibhs Company, Squibba
Bldg., New Yoxk, to all who send iTl
for them and! enclose a front wrapper
of Squibhs Dental Cream.
Wle understand that Rogers gets
$72,000 for these twelve talks and we
wish that .S'quibbs would! employ us
to put out half that many talks in
twice as long time and tell the folks
how to run a newspaper as that p
what we know how to do.

How to Get Up thjere
First, it is about 90 miles from
Bonham. Go to Denison, cross the
Red River, north of there, and go
to (Tishomingo, through Durant.
At Tish as they call it themselves,
ask the citizens how to get there,
and they will take pleasure in tell-
ing you how oe get to Pennington,
River and Devil’s Den. It is only
four miles, and once seen you’ll never
er forget it. If the rushing waters
of the Pennington River fail to en-
thuse you, and a swim in its waters
does not make you feel a touch of
youth, then try the Sulphur waers.
If that does not make the blood
course hrough your veins with

hing else, but get a mortuary-—you

WILLIAM AGNEW
Wiilam Agnew, who had been at
he hq^'pital fujr a few days for
reatment died' this morning at 7
o'clock. Mr. Agn w had been in
failing health for some time.
Mr. Will Agnew is the last of a
urge family that came to Texas
at an early day settling on Red
diver. He had been living in Bon-
ham for a number of years, previous
to his demise.
M/k Agnew’s brothers were John,
Gideon, Eugene and Edwin. His
sistrs’ first names were Fannie and
Vrllie. He is the last of them all.
Mrs. Wall Agnew survives her
husband, as do the following chil-
ien: Allen, Edwin, Mrs. Vera Wheel-
rig.,- P lot Point, Mrs. Lucy May Dodd
Kansas City, MiW Grace Agnew,
Kansas Citf, Mrs. Louie D. Elliot,
Cbrsicana and Miss Tennie Laura
Agnew of the same city.
Funeral services for Mr. Airnew
vere held at the howe of Mrs. John
bgnew on West 6th street at 10
’clock Tuesday morning. Burial at
V.llow Wild cemetery.
Two interesting recitals were
given (Thursday at the home of Mrs.
Belle Biard Gober on North Center
street, when two groups of piano
pupils' of Mr's. Goberr and her sis-
ter, Miss Virginia Biardi were pre-
sented.
In the afternoon, the program
wa® made up of solos and duets by
the intermediate, and a few advanc-
ed pupils. Another recital is planned
for a little later by the more ad-
vanced pupils.
At nigrt, a group of younger pu-
pils gave a lovely program- of so-
los., dueUts and trios. An added
feature was the singing* of nursery
rhymes by little Dorothy Jean John-
j ston, four years of age. accompan-
ied by her sister, Nell.
At the close of the program, each
teacher presented a medal for gen-
general improvement, and these
were received by Nell Johnston and
Jeane Marr.
Marlyn Jones was given a p-In as
a reward for practice and attend-
ance.

THE LAW SAYS
Here is the way the law reads:
“No person shall manufacture, sell,
•arter, transport, import, export, de-
lve,, furnish or possess axxy intoxi-
cating liquor, except as authorized in
.his chapter, axrd all the provisions of
this- chapter shall be liberally con-
strued to the end that the use of in-
toxicating liquor as a beverage may
be prevented.”
Now this sounds plain enough to
anyone that it is a violaticn-of law to
manufacture any kind of stuff that
will make a person drunk, no matter
if it is beer, or jake, or what not.
And this is as plain as the nose on
your face that if you have any liquor
to drink yourself you are “possessing”
it and are. guilty as the lav/ says it
its unlaw£uil to possess vt. Just read
this .over and be your own judge of
what it means.

• FORGET IT
If you see a tall fellow ahead of the crowd,
A leader of music, marching fearless and proud!,
And you know of a tale whose mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in anguish be bowed,
It’s a pretty good plan to FORGET) IJT.
If you know of a skeleton hidden away
In a closet, and guarded and kept fx*om the day

Whose touching* his heartstrings would play or rend,

Of a man or a woman, a girl or a hoy,
That will wipe out a smile or the least way annoy

A BILL
Is an indication that some one has
had faith in your honesty. A bill in-
dicates that isomeone who knows you
depends upon your honor to keep the
word you pledged wnen you received
the goods which he furnished, It is1
an honor to receive a b 11 the first of
the month. Your creditor may owe
for the goods he has sold you. He
expended credit on the assumption
that you would pay him in time to
xneet his obligations. If he fails to
make cash payment he must issue
his note at interest.
If you never reserved a hill it nrght
indicate that your credit was worth-
less; that no person trusted you;
that you were held in such poor es-
teem cy those who know you that
none of them has ever been willing
to take your word that you would
pay.
Credit is the most precious thing
you have. Credit comes only through
years 'of honesty and prompt meet-
ing of bills when they are due.
When you receive a b'll meet it
when you. agreed to, if you possibly
can. If you can not, frankly tell
your creditor why. T' ou will find
him more than ready to meet you
half way.
TUNNEL
The committee appointed by th«
British Government to investigate the
feasibility of a tunnel under the Eng-
fish channel connecting England
with France, has reported m favor ox
Use project. It seems to Americans
such a simple and desirable engineer-
ing job that we wonder why it has not
been done long ago, but there are
pleanty of “die-hards in England who
fear that such a tunnel would make it
easier for an enemy to invade the
British Isles. They are deaf to the
obvious answers that all that would
be necessary to stop a French army
■would be to let the water into the
tUThe British Channel, from Dover to
Calais is about twenty miles across,
measured directly north andsouth.
The shallow waters of the Channel
are easily stirred up by winds and
the crossing is one or the roughest in
the world. “Under the water is a bed
of solid chalk, miles deep, through
which a tunnel could easily be bored
for electric trains. It would cost about
$150 000,000 the committee estimates,
and take eight years. The French
Government is friendly to the project
When done, England would no longer
be in a position where an enemy 1
ships could cut off her food supply,
unless Cai enemy happened io |be
France.
It. seems more likely now than ever
before that the Channel tunnei will b«
built in the next few years.
RUST
One of the greatest enemies of
progress is rust. For years the iron :
and steel industries have spent hun-;
dreds of thousands a year in re-1
•’ search into means of preventing the ■
rust that destroys bridges, factories,/
machinery, everything made of iron.)
Protecting metals against rust is an;
expensive part of all kinds of con-
st ruction and manufacturings
processes.
So called “stainless” steel is pro-*
viding one answer. Instead of pro-
tecting the surface, certain other
metals are alloyed with the steel!
and the metal becomes rustless,/
capable of taking and keeping a
brilliant polish. Cheaper than
nickel plate, more durable than
chromium plate, one automobile
manufacturer is already turning out
c&rs whose bright parts are of stain-
less steel, and now other makers are^
**onsidering entire bodies .and chassis
of the same metal. If this works out’
our roads may become as glittering!
as they were when everybody rodej
nickel-plated bicycles. |
