Texas Peculiarities
Roger Busfield, a member of the
State Planning Board, has collected
che following oddities about Texas;
Boston, New Boston and Old Bos-
ton, are all within five miles of
each other, but Paradise, Utopia,
Devine, Sublime, Loving, Blessing,
Happy, and Joy, all Texas towns
are widely scattered. As are the
towns of Mud, Clay, Sand, Earth
and Grit.
Then there's West, Texas, in
Central Texas; Center, Texas, in
East Texas; Eastland, Texas, in
West Texas, and South, Texas, in
Nortn Texas.
And Dalhart, Mr. Ripley, is
nearer to the capitols of six other
states than it is to the capítol uf
Texas. Then there are two rail-
roads running through Crane Coun-
ty in Texas, yet neither ruad has
a station in the county. And back
to the towns for a minute, Lemon-
ville is in Orange County; Sweet-
watar gets its water supply from
Bitter Creek; in Rosebud, Texas,
QUas ot Travis oounty,
candidate tor State Land Commis-
sioner, i« a stock raiasr on his small
tern near Austin and on the day
he announced his candidacy one of
the cows in his herd observed the
occasion by presenting him with
twin calves.
The twins, rare in the stock
world, thrived under Giles' personal
attention until now they are hale
and hearty. They are a cross be-
tween the Red Poll and Hereford
breeds.
♦ ♦ ♦
Experienced Cattleman
Giles, besides 17 years experience
in oil the work of the state land
office, is also an experienced cattle
man. He was born on a farm near
Manor, about 15 miles from Austin,
in September, 1WX), and from the
time he was a small lad has worked
with and raised cattle.
His father had a dairy herd
when Giles was a boy and the
youngster early became an expert
milker. When he was six years
old Giles started with o couple
of calvos of his own and has had
some stock ever since.
♦ ♦ ♦
Worked In Land Office
When ID, however, Giles went to
Austin and applied to the late J.
T. Robison, then land commission-
er, for a Job. He got it and made
good, working through the tenures
of both Commissioner Robison and
Commissioner J. H. Walker. Giles
has not been in the land offioe,
however, under the present com-
missioner.
Recently, Mr. Walker, now doing
special research work for the Uni-
versity of Texas in connection with
university lands, said that Giles' 17
years experience in all phases oi
the work of the land office had
qualified Giles in an unusual man
ner for state land commissioner.
Platform of Confidence
Giles was chief abstractor of the
statewide tax survey tor the past
year and a half and traveled
throughout all Texas personslly di-
recting the making of surveys.
DI-RfCTORY
A double omen of good luck are these twin calves, in the opinion
of Bascom Giles, candidate for state land commissioner. For the
twins, rare in the stock world, were born on Giles' small farm near
Austin the day he announced his candidacy for the state office. They
are a cross between the Red Poll and Hereford breeds.
