The writer heard Joseph Weldorf Bailey
speak in his campaign against Plat Neff for
governor in 1920, but the Harry Hines of
today is a far better speaker than Bailey
was in his declining years.
Hines was appointed to the highway
commission in 1935 by Governor James V.
Allred. Hfe announcement for governor
puts him out of the running for reappoint-
ment to the highway commission.
He originally was from Wichita Falls, a
city which hfis given Texas some outstand.
ing political leaders. In recent years Hines
ha's lived in Dallas. This change in resi-
dence seems a good move politically, as
Hines can expect support from both East
and West Texas by virtue of residence.
WATCH OUT FOR HOFHEINZ
The Quitaque Post carried the firfnicrJ
report of theCity of Quitaque as of Feb.
1, 1940, and it gives fair warning of the
danger of debt and particularly how In-
terest piles up when payments are skipped
or are small.
The statement shows that debt require-
ments for 1940 are principal, $750, and
interest, $2,760.
The city owes $65,500 in 4 per cent
refunding bonds series', 1937 and two
warrents of $1,250 each at 6 per cent in_
terest.
The interest or service charge alone on
the refunding bonds is $2,600 a year, and
another $150 on the two warrants.
These figures are evidenc that any public
body should plan its program for reduction
-of' principal as well as meeting interest
payments.
HARRY HINES ANNOUNCES
Announcement of Harry Hines, member
of the Texas Highway Commission, for
governor is the opening gun for the 1940
Democratic nomination.
Ten years ago "Ross Sterling of Houston
went from the highway commission to the
governor's chair to succeed Dan Moody.
Moody, however, had already served
two terme and the situation is not quite
similar, as Hines is running agiainst Gover-
nor W. Lee O'Daniel, who is in his first
term.
The state highway department with its
thousands of "employes is an important
A young man from Houston, County
T"dge Roy Hofheinz, only 29 years old, is
taking more than one-half of his time in
^ood will work in Texas and you had bet-
ter watch out for him politically. 'v
Hofheinz was on a swing recently
through West Texas, speaking several
times eiach in Amarillo anri Lubbock. He is 1 south" 334.4
in his second term as county judge and is a
most convincing speaker.
His rep^ou for making the many speeches
in Texas is to discuss juvenile work. He has
a thorough knowledge of, delinquencv, as
he is county judge of the largest populated
conty in the state.
Hofheinz is being frenuently mentioned
as a candidate for railroad commission.
Should Hofheinz announce for the office.
you had just as well to expect him to lead
the first primary or to be in he run_off at
least, as Harris county has 90,000 qualified
voters.
The judge is staying only about two days
la week in his office at Houston, according
to a talk made at the Amarillo Rotary. No
man would keep up the vigorous pace he is
now going through unless he expects to ask
for something more important from the
voters of Texas.
Undoubtedly, Hofheinz made many
friends in this section through his quick
trip. Watch out for the name Hofheinz;
you are going to hear more about that
young man. You have heard of Moody,
Allred and Mann—Hofheinz is apt to be
the next yong man to leave his mark in
Texas political affairs. ,

Friona Star: Almost any day
the spring winds may begin to
blow, and although our farmers
have taken great precaution to
prevent the growth of "tumble"
weeds upon their farms, there
are still enough of them on the
fields and alpng fences, to' pile
every fence and building in Fiona
high with them, and when driven
by the force of the wind they will
wedge themselves into narrow
openings between buildings and
pile up in nooks where the wind
cannot drive them further, and
among these will be blown bits
or sheets of waste paper and other
combustible materials, that are
all ready to start a conflagration
when touched by a spark or bit
of flaming paper from some pri-
vate incinary or from some other
unsuspected source.

Wheeler Times: The secretary
of agriculture's announcement
that the stamp surplus plan is to
be applied to cotton products, in
selected cities of 50,000 popula-
tion and larger, may teach the
administration, belaterly, the way
to deal with surpluses. Strictly
speaking, there is not, and has
not been, any cotton surplus.
There has not been a time in the
past decade when, if the actual
needs of the American people in
cotton products had been supplied,
the resultant consumption of cot-
ton would not have used up all
that was produced.

depends—and cotton is Hall

For Old Age
Old age is coming so rapidly that it sweeps motet
people off their feet. People are living longer, and
financial problems become more complicated.

If you (are 25 yefirs of age today, you can see the
problem that is ahead of you when you reach age 65
■—22,000,000 American people depending on rela-
tives and the government.
And time will take care of 36 per cent of the group
at age 25 todHiy—they will be deiad in 1980. And
what of the remainder? Of the group of 100, 1 will
be wealthy, 4 will be well to do, 5 will be earning
their own way and 54 WILL NOT BE SELF SUP-
PORTING.
Never was it so important for a young person to
plan his future. Millions of people now know that
life insurance is the way for success in this battle
against age. Great Southern Life Insurance policies
will start you on the road to financial independence.

WE WANT YOU TO FEEL A1 HOME
wherever good beer is sold
The Brewing Industry realizes that de-
cent, respectable people prefer to patron-
ize decent, inviting places.
And we agree with them.
That is why we are taking action —
in cooperation with law enforcement
authorities—to "clean-up or close-up''
beer retail establishments that disobey
the law or permit anti-social conditions.
To do this we have instituted a new
self-regulation plan now in operation in
a few states and being extended as rap-
idly as possible.
We think you will be interested in
knowing something about this program.
May we tell you about it in an interest-
ing free booklet?
