However this poist is merely one of
the claims made and has not been
substastiated by the Secretary of
State. Advocates point out that they
pay taxes tn support public schools
but thst if they choose ti send their
children to private or parochial schools
the least the State can do is to supply
the text books free.
Probably the most important and
less publicised provision of this
Amendment is the fact that it pro-
poses to rewrite Section 5 of Article
Se\ey* of the Constitution so a8 to per-
mit the apportionment of school funds
on some other .basis than scholastic
population.
For many yearB there has been con-
siderable agitation in certain quarters
to abolish the “school census" or
scholastic population system of ap-
portioning school funds and substitute
in lieu thereof the “average attend-
ance" basis or some other basis. The
Legislature would determine just how
this was to be done, If this Amend-
ment is adopted.
If adopted this proposed Amend-
ment Number seven would mean, in
effect: (1) that the State would furn-
ish free tert books to pupils in all the

This BANK
has its own
PARTICULAR PLACE
y^vNE of the great advantages of our American
banking system is that each bank is free to
develop under the guidance of local people to
meet local needs.
*
In some sections, mining is the big industry; in
others, manufacturing; in others, the farmer, dairy-
man or stock raiser occupies the entire stage In
each case, the bank’s function varies with the
local need.
This bank provides the same basic functions--
safety for deposits, checking facilities, seasonal
loans and other commercial bank services-- on a
basis which is planned especially for our own par-
ticular community,
1 st National Bank
of Hebbronville, Texas
Last week in solicitation, Woodman
Foster suggested that we chirp about
pone corn bread. We are extending
him a personal vote of thaplts for the
lead. From comment and other is-
formation, this old time bread was not
as badly forgotten as we had thought.
We have encountered quite a number
of corn bread poners since our rant on
the subject. These grand old timers
knew their pones too. Li steisg is on
them for a few rounds made us plurn
pone bread hungry. It was a genuine
treat to hear them discuss this subject.
Yeah, they knew their turnip greens
and buttermilk too. We are sorry to
announce that not one of the hundred
and teu thousand readers of this col-
umn accepted our hint to send in a
plate of pones. Today we are going
to bat without a suggestion or a
thought of something to palavar about.
When a fifty grand olumnist of our
calibre gets the blanks like that, well,
readers you are due a column flop. No
fooljn, our dumb damper is down, our
lone brain cejl is not functioning. We
are just angling and flirting along,
hoping’that we will think uo a I
thought a,nd get a start and folks,
here she is. Her name is Clara.
Whatta name. When an old jelly like j
your columnist starts to discussing;
the cute, captivating Claras, he should
have a Carnegie medal pinned on him
for pure unadelterated herpe. Wheen |
one has lived with the same dictator
for nigh on to thirty years it takes
nerve, plenty of it, to go adrift as we
are drifting how, but whatza feller
gonna do when a cunning Clara ups
and sets .self right in the middle of
our thoughts, well, the Claras have it
I say that they have it and that and
those too, asd thats one of the jillion
things that causes ole jelleys to go
loco—you know, drive off of cliffs and
into telephone poles and all of the sil
things that old poppers do. Even the
most cautious old jellys will fall for
captiavating Claras. Seems that they
go into a mory—go loonie—take on a
cargo of funny ideas. Some of them
when their, wifey reaches the age of
forty, try to trade her off for a couple
of twentys a,nd a lotta other screwy
ideas and, the cause of this Clara
spasm was brought on by Tom B ady
calling his compsdre Ira Collins,
Clara when he seated himself at the
table today. Boy did Iras face turn
led? Herewith follows the low dow.'.
For some reason this popular chow
dispenser let go an oh Clara, a~d en
unexpected Clara stepped down out or
ehe clouds right in front of rim anl
says what will you have Mr. Collins.
The shock was so sudden that Iras
ticker stopped and he passed out. Two
buckets of water and a bottle of
smelling sa'ts finally bru~g him to
and now Ira swears tha,t never again
will he sing—Clara, sweet, sweet
Clara. Clara, I swear a that no one
is fai er, my Clara than you. Clara,
you have a pair of eyes that flares
and your lovely hair has me up in the
air too. Or Clara, sweet Clara, I love
qnly you. Gee, we’re glad to find
loop outta this Clara fit after getting
into it. The: e are two goats mixed up
in it. The g^ang has a real Cl a a joke
on Ira and ole columnist is a grand
daddy Billy to slip the above wad n‘
low brow ranting and raving into your
home towp pap for your oerusal. Call
Ira Clara and w^tch his face turn a
lip stick red.
Alton White was programmist to-
day. He gave us a keen and interest-
ing report of the recent district as-
sembly in San Tone. When Alton
takes the floor we expect things from
him and he invariably meets our ex-
pectations. Judge Brumfield ad-
dressed the club also. The Jurge
stated that it was customary for a
business man to make an inventory of
his business. He applied that custom
of our town and gave us a fine inven-
tory of the towns assets. He also in-
ventoried our needs. We enjoyed the
judges inventory. This column com-
pliments him on his novel idea.
The club gave Joe Gruy a vote of
thanks for a free watering of the
trees oh the highway running north.
The club appreciated the five smack-
ers that he saved it, but it appreciat-
ed a great deal more the public spirit-
edness of his act.
Big local attendance costest it on.

May the beat man win.
Jack Hallaell of the Laredo club
made up with us today.
Our dogs are barking again. Wus-
aea than ever. Those of you that have
had real dog ailment, kindly pass us
a bupch of sympathy. Amatuers lay
off. Your brand of sympathy will not
qualify.
