learned that Republicans walked on their hind feet like people.
"Have farmed with a bull-tongue plow-taught school-practiced
law-and am a first class mechanic, having worked a right smart
around a molasses mill. Came to Texas two years ago and married
the finest girl in Throckmorton county. I want the office because
I think I can make a living out of it and will promise, if elected,
to try and make thieves and bootleggers think hell ain't 40 feet from

into five volumes: I-The Plan in Brief-Description of the State,
II-Texas Outdoor Recreation Supply Resources, III-Texas
Outdoor Recreation Demand, IV-Texas Outdoor Recreation
Supply Needs and Action Required to Meet Needs, and V-
Texas Outdoor Recreation Resource-Based Areas and Details
of the Plan.
The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum has become the re-
cipient of a collection of 681 paintings by Frank Reaugh, valued
at more than $250,000. This is now the largest single collection
of the works by this primitive Southwest artist, who once said,
"It is the beauty of the great Southwest as God has made it
that I love to paint." The University of Texas has 1oo Reaugh
paintings, donated by the artist before his death.
